Murphy stated in his view this is one of the few <br /> pristine lots left on the lake and that the applicant has not employed a professional architect and that <br /> people have concerns regarding the appearance of the house. <br /> Lenny Dayton, 1980 Heritage Drive, stated the size of their house is approximately 3,500 feet and that <br /> there are not too many homes in their neighborhood that double that. Dayton stated the size of this home <br /> would contain two or three of the other type of homes in the neighborhood and that it does not make sense <br /> to construct such a large house in this area. <br /> Coward stated this projeci has continually gotten worse,with the size of the house only being reduced <br /> from 19,000 square feet to 14,000 square feet. Coward stated they found out at the Planning Commission <br /> meeting that a detached garage is being planned,which brings the square footage of the house back up to <br /> 19,000 square feet. Coward stated they have no idea what this property is going to be used for in the <br /> future. <br /> Coward stated in this neighborhood there are a variety of houses that have been designed by well-known <br /> architects and that he has a concern regarding the architecture of the proposed house. Coward illustrated <br /> — - an overhead of the view from his house�of the residence. Coward stated in his view this proposal � -�-• <br /> resembles a Hampton Inn. <br /> Coward stated in the 30 years that they have resided in their home,they have worked with their neighbors <br /> in planting trees along their respective property lines and that the applicant has removed 50 to 60 year old <br /> trees,which the applicant says will be replaced. Coward pointed out those trees will never be replaced in <br /> his lifetime. <br /> PAGE 14 of'27 <br />
