Motion
James and Janice Prondzinski - Approved as modified. (8:35 p.m.)
Motion was made by Randall Mann, second by Steve Schierer to approve the variance as requested. It was noted
that this is a very delicate situation, it is the best solution to fix both the building and to stabilize the lot, removing the
boat house would perhaps cause more damage to the property, similar structure can be found on the lots on either
side of the applicant and terrain features of the applicant’s property create a hardship for the applicant. This motion
failed with Rod Boyer, Cecil Femling, Paul Larson and Mark Steuart voting no. Those voting against this motion noted
that approving the variance as requested would establish precedence. After additional consideration, motion was
made by Mark Steuart, second by Rod Boyer to deny the variance as requested. This motion also failed with Paul
Larson, Randall Mann and Steve Schierer voting no. Paul Larson then introduced a motion to table this application to
allow the applicant an opportunity to consider other possible solutions. After additional discussion this motion was
withdrawn. After additional discussion and consideration, motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by Paul
Larson and carried with Cecil Femling voting no, to approve the variances necessary for the repair/replacement of the

IMy lot is so feet ■wide aod 170 feet deep. It is a high elevation lot with the existing cottage ^roxtmately
30 feet above the water. On the northwest comer, at water level, is a boathouse that is the subject of the
Variance Application.
The south wall of the boathouse is built into the hill that rises from the water. Over the years, the soil has
shifted, causing the south wall to move and destabilize the boathouse. 1 have to undertake a partial
demolition of the boathouse removing the roof deck and ceiling joists, all doors and windows, upper level
ilooring, and damaged masoniy block construedon. This will enable a contractor to place equipment into
the boathouse and install helical anchors through the south wall to stabQize the soil 1 then want to repair
and restore the boathouse to its original form.
Following is a list of the variances that are needed for my boathouse (WOAS);
1. Ordinaiy High Water level setback (minimum requirement is 20 fee). The original structure was oiiginaliy used as a boathouse and was built at water level, Thae is no plan to move or di^Iace the
original building.
2. Lot line setback (minimum requirement is 40 feet). Given that my lot is 50 feet wide, 1 will not be able
to meet this requirement ■with any new construction, but a variance will allow me to leave the existing
boathouse in its present location.
3. Structure height (maximum allowed is 10 feet). The boathouse is approximately 25 feet tall (two
stories) with a railing around the top deck. Even with that hei^ the conage is still higher than the
boathouse. Neighbors on the east u«i west of the property have two story boathouses and none of
them are blocking the ■view of the lake and surrounding property, i
4. Structure height (maximum allowed is 260 square feet). The boathouse has two stories and is larger
than 260 square feet. The comments in the preceding paragraph apply to this request for variance.
5. Only one structure is allowed in the Shore Impact Zone.
6. Only allowed one WOAS allowed on each lot. When I purchased the property in September 1997,1

Following is a list of the variances that are needed for my boathouse (WOAS):
1. Ordinary High Water level setback (minimum requirement is 20 feet). The original
sfructure was originally used as a boathouse and was built at water level. There is no
plan to move or displace the original building.
2. Lot line setback (minimum requirement is 40 feet). Given that my lot is 50 feet wide,
I will not be able to meet this requirement with any new construction, but a variance
will allow me to leave the existing boathouse in its present location.
3. Structure height (maximum allowed is 10 feet). The boathouse is approximately 16
feet tall (two stories) with a railing around the top deck. Even with that height, the
cottage is still higher than the boathouse. Neighbors on the east and west of the
property have two story boathouses and none of them are blocking the view of the
lake and surrounding property.
4. Structure size (maximum allowed is 260 square feet). The boathouse has two stories
and is larger than 260 square feet. The comments in the preceding paragraph apply to
this request for variance.
5. Only one structure is allowed in the Shore Impact Zone. When I purchased the
property in September 1997,1 had a property survey done. It was discovered that my
neighbor had inadvertently built a comer of his deck (1X1 foot) onto my property. I
have legally given him the right to continue using that small piece of land.
6. Only allowed one WOAS allowed on each lot. The comments in the preceding
paragraph also apply to this variance request.
