He referred to two additional letters <br />received from neighbors, the Bergs and Higgins (Exhibit A). He <br />explained the property is near Lydiard Lake. Previous subdivisions <br />In the area have provided fcr land acquisition for a future cul- <br />de-sac. Lot 1, with the existing house, has 2.12 acres of dry <br />buildable land, and .25 acres wetland. Lot 2 has 2.57 acres dry and <br />1.36 acres wetland. The unique configuration proposed is due to the <br />setback requirements, the need for 2 acres of dry buildable land, <br />and the need for septic sites on the property. Lot 1 has 165’ of <br />lakeshore where 200’ is required, therefore a variance Is needed, <br />and Lot 2 has 3*t0’ of lakeshore. <br />Chair Kelley stated the subdivision is in a 2 acre zoning district <br />and this proposal does not meet the standards of that district. He <br />stated he is not in favor of the proposal. <br />Peterson agreed with Chair Kelley and added the additional <br />hardcover for the driveway wi!I also be a factor. <br />All the members agreed with Chair Kel’ey. <br />Johnson asked to hear any pubiic comments. <br />J im and Debbie Higgins, 259 Hollander Road, stated their cpposition <br />to the proposal, citing the preservation of wildlife in the a.> ea <br />and privacy as reasons for their opposition. <br />I
