(W4-30S2 Eric Vogttrom, Continned) Essen stated the upper deck would probably not be used for parties, but that in his view twisting the house has now given the applicant a clear view to his rcsidoicc.

White inquired how far off the lot line the Essen residence is located. Jeff Essen stated their hou.se is located approximately 20 or 25 feet from the property line.
