The Peterson's purchased this property in good faith. Pesek moved. Van Nest seconded, to approve this variance because it is after the fact and the pool has been there for the past three years.

Van Nest moved, Guthrie seconded, to reamnend a^^roval subject to providing fire separations as r^uired by the State Code and the combination of all the individual parcels and vacated street. The subject of the vacated street should be referred to the at^'>mey to resolve its actual status. Mr. 6 Mrs. Smith were in attendance. Mrs. Smith explained to the Conmission that at the start of the construction they instructed the contractor not to disturb the trees that were on the property in order to build the house. The location of the house was then moved over to avoid removing the trees. The inspector was never informed of the diange in location. Larry Shaw, a neighbor to the north of tlie Smith's was also present at the meeting. He expressed his disappointment with tlie building of tliis haiie. He mentioned that he complained several times to the building inspector regarding the building location. The present location of the Smitli's home blocks his view of the lake. The Planning Commission felt that the only question here was the rear yard setback as the new location still met all sideyard setback requirements. Pesek moved, Hake seconded, approval of this variance because the house is finished. However granting this approval does not constitute approval for a private dock on the shoreline strip directly across the street. Motion - Ayes (8), Nays (0). CALL TO DRIER - 8:20 P.M.
