(7:50 p.m.) M. W. Amundson, Family Trust, Lots 2 and 3 Block 1 Second Addition to Coney Island Acres, West Battle Lake in Girard Township, requested the following: In Lot 2, the configuration of the buildable area within the 75’ setbacks from the 2 shores of West Battle Lake result in a buildable area of 2,719 square feet, far below the required 8,400 square feet. In Lot 3, the configuration of the buildable area within the 75’ setbacks from the 2 shores of West Battle Lake result in a buildable area of 256 square feet, far below the required 8,400 square feet. This caused a practical difficulty to build within these 2 setbacks. At the August 3, 2006 meeting of the Board of Adjustment I was granted a variance for a building footprint area of 3,690 square feet within Lot 3 and shown on Anderson Land Surveying Certificate of Survey No. 7313. lam proposing to combine Lot 2 and Lot 3 into one tract with a total area of 58,872 square feet, almost 3 times the required lot size for a general development lake. The two lots would become permanently attached within the same ownership. I would rescind 1,863 square feet of the previously approved 3,690 square foot building footprint, shortening up the footprint away from the point and towards the existing cabin, leaving a remainder of 1,827 square feet. In return I ask that 5,259 square feet lying within Lots 2 and 3 and outside of the 75’ setback line be declared as buildable.
