Generally, the standards can be adjusted when <br />each building is provided with sprinkling systems and/or adequate hydrant locations are <br />available. Weinberger noted that the properties are not served with municipal water, nor <br />have sprinkler systems, therefore there are no hydrants available. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Sansevere questioned if the prow was part of the original proposal. <br />Weinberger pointed out that the original plan did not contain the prow but simply the <br />overhang from the eaves. <br />Murphy questioned what would happen if the home were slid back off the street side <br />towards the lake. <br />Sansevere inquired what the average lakeshore setback of the existing homes were. <br />Weinberger noted that the average lakeshore setback for this street was 42 ’. <br />On behalf of Mr. Welch, Jeaiuie Welch maintained that they had been given inconsistent <br />direction from the Planning Commission with regard to the position of the house. She <br />felt they had complied with the August direction to shift the home back on the lot, they <br />met the 30 ’ back yard setback, and, since the road is a private driveway had obtained road <br />easements fiom the neighbors for the property. She pointed out that the two neighbors to <br />the west had not been granted cross easements on Mr. Welsh’s property. <br />Sansevere questioned how much towards the road had the home been shifted. <br />Jeanne Welch indicated they had moved the home approximately 4.5 ’. <br />Sansevere asked why the Welch’s felt not giving easements to the two end nei^bors was <br />a good thing. <br />Jeanne Welch maintained that, at minimum, the neighbors would be granted prescriptive <br />easements if they were to take it to court. <br />Sansevere questioned if any neighbors were present. <br />Mr. Welch maintained that the neighbors he spoke to were all in support of his proposal. <br />Murphy inquired if the applicant owned both sides of the driveway. <br />Pages <br />"H
