From:Dan Seidel To:Melanie Curtis Subject:FW: Re[2]: Plans for 3005 Casco Point Road Date:Thursday, August 11, 2022 9:58:41 AM Attachments:image001.png image002.png image003.png From: Dan Seidel Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2022 9:46 AM To: Helena Seidel <Helena@BankersTitleMN.com> Subject: RE: Re[2]: Plans for 3005 Casco Point Road Good morning Melanie: Thank you for providing the information regarding the development plans next door to our property at 3015 Casco Point Road. We are in support of the proposed plan that you sent to us. In 2004, when we designed plans for our home, we placed our home farther back than what would have been allowed. This was based on our consideration for our neighbors on both sides as to not change or inhibit their views of the Lake. By doing this, we also established a set-back line that was farther back than the average on Casco Point. The new owners of 3005 Casco have proposed a plan which requires a set- back variance from the lakeshore. We support this plan because: 1.It actually moves the property farther back than the current structure on the property and thus improves the set-back line. 2.The plan as proposed has taken care to minimize the impact of the new development on our property and lake views. 3.The existing 2 neighboring properties have been in existence for at least 100 years. The plans we have seen for the neighboring new home keeps the character of the current property in both design and placement. Every request for a Variance has their own unique circumstances. In this case the applicants are making an improvement in the set-back from the lake and have taken care in preserving our lake views. For these reasons we are in support of the plan. We plan on attending the Monday planning commission hearing if there are further are questions or comments. Thank you. Personal State License Number: 63785 Company State License Number: 40225610
