Although the house had <br />»o«e drawbacksi namely, a large pond in the backyard, <br />and situated next to a busy street, we assummed that <br />we could upgrade the house to meet our needs at a later date. <br />After nearly three years, we are now ready to begin <br />ffio^flcations to our home. We felt there would be no <br />pr^lem with any improvements we made, since we are in excess <br />♦••t from our shoreline proper on Crystal Bay. In <br />cheeking with the city, we soon learned that the set-back <br />from the main lake area was not the problem. We instead had <br />^ be concerned with the set-back from the wildlife pond, <br />Jjj”*®” ** connected by a small manmade channel to the bay. <br />The channel leading to the pond has been back-filled with <br />sand from the winter Ice heaves and is not readily accessible <br />by fliost boats* Wo are told this is considered lakeshore <br />and have to deal with this hardship. <br />By calling this wetland pond part of the main lake, <br />about 80 percent of the current house is located within the <br />0-75 loot set-back area. We assumed that the house we were <br />purchasing was not located within a no building zone. <br />The dredging of this pond has created the following <br />hardships on this propertyt <br />1. <br />2. <br />80 percent of the property is unbuildable. <br />the pond, although dredged, has limited access <br />due to sand heaving at the entry. Current depth <br />at the entry is from 0 to 1.5 feet. <br />The intent of this variance is to help us overcome <br />the restrictions placed on this property by the dredgino <br />of the pond. <br />If granted a variance, we plan on overcoming four <br />negatives associated with this houset <br />First, and utmost we plan on correcting the view <br />problem from our current living room. The view of the' <br />lake is obstructed by the existing three-season porch. <br />The building plans being presented correct this by moving <br />the living room forward and eliminating view-blocking walls. <br />■ <br />3 <br />I
