(7:05 p.m.) After discussion and consideration, Michael Harris made a motion, second by Steve Schierer and carried with Rod Boyer and Paul Larson voting no, to approve a variance of 4’ from the required side lot line setback of 10’ for the placement of the existing dwelling 6’ from the side lot line. In general, the board members voting for approval determined that the placement of the dwelling in its current location was not intentionally done by the applicants, it was an honest mistake, that the applicants acted in good faith and that the costs to the applicants to either move or alter the structure to meet the required 10’ setback would be excessive and would exceed the benefit received by the County.

The audience was polled with Lane Lockrem the owner of Lot 7 Block 1, Twin Lake Shores, which is the property immediateiy adjacent to the applicant’s property where the structure has been placed too close to the property line. Mr. Lockrem’s desire is for the applicants to place the structure in compliance with the setbacks as stated in the site permit that was issued. Mr. Lockrem also discussed the lot line’s location, the clearing of trees from his lot and questioned how and why the applicant’s structure got placed where it did.

After discussion and consideration, Michael Harris made a motion, second by Steve Schierer and carried with Rod Boyer and Paul Larson voting no, to approve a variance of 4’ from the required side lot line setback of 10’ for the placement of the existing dwelling 6' from the side lot line.

April 10, 2014 meeting - The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. After discussion and consideration, Steve Schierer made a motion to deny the variance application. Upon additional discussion and consideration, Thomas Lee made a motion, second by Rick Wilson and unanimously carried to table with the verbal agreement of the applicant (Marty) this public hearing until the May 8, 2014 meeting to allow time for the Land and Resource office to determine the ordinary high water level and for the applicants to consider other possible alternatives. There was some concern expressed by members of the Board that this particular property may not be suited for any type of development. May 8, 2014 meeting - The audience was not polled as there was no one in attendance at the time of the public hearing. Marty Hanson appeared at the public hearing and noted that the size of the proposed structure would be reduced from 40’ by 60’ to 20’ by 30’ and that the proposed structure would be placed 40’ from the ordinary high water level. After discussion and consideration, Steve Schierer made a motion, second by Michael Harris and carried with Rod Boyer abstaining, to approve a variance of 35’ from the required ordinary high water level setback 75’ for the placement of a 20’ by 30’ structure 40’ from the ordinary high water level and at least 20’ from the road right-of-way.

It is unfortunate that the Carlson’s need to go through this process for, what seems like, a minor issue in the scope of life. They are exemplary neighbors at Twin Lake Shores and this was not an intentional error. They followed the rules and went through the inspections that were necessary. It is hard to believe this wasn't found in that process, but we are humans and humans make human errors. We are in full support of the Carlson's being granted the requested variance.
