To start, some misrepresentation had been described during our purchase of the home. This description is the reason for our variance needs. To clarify this misrepresentation is to refer to property line between lot 15-16 of block 6, Saga Hill Revised, Hennepin County. This line as described by our new survey does not show a few items of importance. Here is a list of items r►ot noted on survey: 1. Portion of vacated Forest Blvd. 2. Storage Building at lakeside 3. Sidewalk from walk -out to lakeshore 4. Fireplace and garden, south side of home 5. Elevation changes - see Red Lined Survey Please note the survey by Egan, Field and Nowak that we used to buy the property states a plus or minds five foot tolerance to a space on the south side of home. As described by the previous owner, the storage shed at the lakeshore and the garden around the south side of the house were included inside the boundary of the property lines. Not to confuse the real issue, but I would line to state that there was a large sum of garbage piled behind this lakeshore building that was inherited by myself, and then to find that this property was lakeshore commons titled Forest Blvd. This portion of Forest Blvd was vacated on March 28, 1988 per article #1251. The portion of Forest Blvd. which was vacated Marci, 28, 1988 was not represented on the survey properly per our discussion with previous owner and the hardcover usage when the property was purchased. This would be obvious when looking at the site and pictures documenting structures location, as well as the maintenance performed on the property for over the last ten years. You will also find trees lining both sides of the property which make side views of our home fairly unnoticed, even with the modified house plan. Another factor involved with this is that there is a steep elevation change between properties. Also, the shed next to lot 17 will be removed and area will be cleaned up. Please note the unusual property conditions and elevation change with respect to proposed addition. The addition to the home in size would still leave entry of the home far below street level where our detached garage is located. I have no intentions to change any drainage at all, which is represented by our bridge deck front entry from existing front sidewalk. The combination of these factors would make changing this plan very difficult and impractical. Therefore, I ask to modify my home as described in it's present location. Thank You,
