Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Mn. 55323-0066 <br />Dear Paul: <br />This lener is to further describe my request to exL^£i the original variance approved in <br />1999 (#4264) for my property at the above address. <br />The variance approved in 1999 permined me to expand the building envelope for a Z"** <br />story expansion/addition within the 0-75 foot lakeshore setback where a 'A story exists. <br />I consider this portion of the approval to be Phase 1 of the project. The Phase 1 of this <br />project now only emails an expansion of the dormer windows rather than a full 2-siory <br />addition in this 0-75 foot area. The roofline now proposed is not as high as the original <br />variance approval allowed to the existing structure. <br />The variance approved in 1999 also allowed for a 2406.64 sq. ft. of hardcover within the <br />75-250 foot lakeshore setback where 719.45 sq. feet exists and 1169.6 sq. ft. is allowed. <br />This building addition portion of the approval is Phase 2 of the project. Nothing is <br />actively being done on this portion of the project at present but still is intended. <br />Due to illnesses in the family that occurred after the variance was approved, I failed to <br />complete construction before the variance approval expired. <br />The “after the fact" nature cf this request to extend the original variance is due to the fact <br />that construction of Phase 1 has begun and been viewed by yourself and your Infection <br />Department at my request. This occurred quite innocently and initially as a repair to the <br />existing leaking dormers/windows, which had ronen wood and caused leaking. This <br />repair work soon led to replacement and expansion of the dormers. <br />Upon subsequent review of the variance approval. I realized 1 needed to apply to extend <br />the original variance approval. I contacted the City on April 1“ to determine how to get <br />back in line with the appropriate process, leading to my application for extension. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gretchen S.
