Hanbhip V <br />Our hardship, in requesting this variance, is that we will expenence significant soil erosion along <br />our shoreline if we are unable to replace an existing retaining wall structure which is on a steep <br />slope leading down to the lakeshore. The existing wall has substantially decayed and is <br />crumbling away. In addition, the wall materials are old railroad ties which contain creosote, <br />which we feel could harm the lake. In order to prevent further soil erosion, this retaining wall <br />structure needs to be replaced. As part of the repair, we propose to eliminate the top tier of the <br />existing three-tier reuining wall structure smce a two-tier structure would be sufficient to satisfy <br />our objective of preventing soil erosion. The elimination of this tier will reduce hardcover in <br />the setback zone.
