I lived ir a home several houses down from Jim's home beginning in 1959, so <br /> I am familiar with the neighborhood and controversy surrounding his boathouse. During that time, no docks were allowed on the main <br /> lake--lakeshore property owners had plotted area for a dock in the nearby lagoon.This left the laceshore unencumbered by docks,and _ <br /> Jim's boathouse was part of this approach. Ii <br /> I have enclosed a photograph from this period showing adjoirnng property during this period. <br /> I would like to make two points: � <br /> 1.While I understand the boathouse does not conform to curre It practise, it is vastly superior to creating a massive dock at the end of <br /> Jim's property. � <br /> This would be a hazard to navigation,an eyesore, and would undoubtedly irritate current neighbors. Maintaining the current boathouse <br /> is simply a much better solution for all. I cannot imagine why anyone would encourage the construction of such a dock. <br /> 2.Jim's variance request seems extremely reasonable. He has,l clear hardship resulting from the configuration of his property and is <br /> requesting a variance which would reduce hardcover,add a very small amount of additional space(less than 1,000 sq.ft.),and <br /> improve the waste water management,while making his home more livable. <br /> I encourage all to support his application � <br /> John Watson � . <br /> Puzzles,trivia teasers,word scrambles and more.
