The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment <br />of a substantial property right of the applicant. <br />h could be argued the preservation of the boathouse and existing house would preserve a <br />property amenity to continue use of two buildings.that are in good repair and add value to <br />the property. <br />II.The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, <br />comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contraiy' to the intent of the Zoning Code. <br />The buildings would not impair the health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect <br />be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code. <br />12.

And. is this a structure that meets the historic value and <br />character that would separate how the City views boathouses versus other accessory <br />structures that are found within 75' of the lakeshore? <br />Is the current location of the e.xisting house and location of plumbing fixtures within the <br />house a hardship that would be unique to this property and justify granting of the conditional <br />use permit and variances? <br />#01-2728 WiIHajh and Laura Stoddard <br />4365 North Shore Drive <br />lO/LVt)! <br />Page 5 of 6
