6. Be inconsistent with the objective of encouraging land uses compatible with the preservation of the natural land forms, vegetation and the marshes and wetlands. (Generally, the house fit's with the original ground form of the site and preserves the most desirable tree cover. The adjustment of the land form has a positive impact on the health, welfare, and safety of the residents by providing flood protection as well as enhancement, stabilization and sediment control along the lakeshore.. 7. Includes development of land and water areas essential to continue the temporary withholding of rapid runoff of surface water which presently contributes to downstream flooding or water pollution or for land and water areas which provide ground water infiltration which diminishes the land area necessary to carry increased flows or storm v/ater following periods of heavy precipitation. (Runoff will occur in a controlled fashion by overland drainage and an existing sump catch basin. The flatter slopes will catch sediments and other pollutants, minimize erosion, provide ground water infiltration and reduce runoff velocity. Steep slopes will be stabilized.) Not only did the original lakeshore bank condition on the Waters' property create an unsightly erosion and pollution concern, but the entire bank along the Waters/Dennis properties has trapped water in their front yards creating a hardship due to flooding. As previously discussed, the regrading and excavation of a small portion of the lakeshore bank and overland drainage swale, as proposed, resolves both problems and therefore the variance is justified. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions regarding this variance request.
