construction over the exterior wall line. But in doing so,we're proposing to reconfigure the <br /> roof lines for a more aesthetically please roof form,while reducing the overall total roof <br /> peak height. <br /> 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br /> Yes. A)The overall plan is to rebuild this structure out of the flood plain and while doing <br /> so, reduce the overall height by going with a flat roof structure. The main principal build <br /> will be begin its design journey once the boat house and guest house are complete.The main <br /> principal house will be designed so that this new boat house structure with a flat roof,will <br /> coordinate and be a simple stand-alone extension of the main building. <br /> Yes. B)The overall plan is to rebuild this structure so it has proper pitch for drainage and <br /> with surrounding water management to alleviate unwanted hydrostatic pressure on the <br /> foundation walls. Additionally,the original guest house structure was also intended to be <br /> used for horse carriages,but with today's horseless carriages,the standards call for higher <br /> access points,of which we hope to achieve with this variance,there by provide access for <br /> more off-street parking. <br /> 3.The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties. <br /> a.

There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; <br /> A)Yes,for the boat house we are proposing to fixing the circumstance by relocating <br /> the structure out of the floodplain while proposed to reduce the over all height to <br /> allow for more lake viewing for us and our neighbors. <br /> B)Yes,for the guest house over time settling has really taken a toll on the structure <br /> and to fix some of these issues,floor elevations need to be increase to provide <br /> property pitch away from structures.Additional,better water management around <br /> the building is needed due to the existing topography. <br /> c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br /> • <br /> 2 <br />
