McMillan stated the public roadway has existed in this area for a long time and that it should remain public. McMillan commented she would hate to see the current residence removed given the historical nature of the existing residence. Stickney stated they did consider remodeling the residence but that there is a considerable amount of hardcover in the 0 -75 foot zone. Stickney stated the house was on the market for a year and a half and that everyone who looked at the house wanted to tear it down and-rebuild. Stickney stated they are looking at the option of moving the residence to another site. Bremer stated she would like to hear the comments from the neighbor at 1.480. Stickney stated the new house would have to be built further away from the lake under the new proposal and that thousands of feet of hardcover in the 0 -75 foot zone would also be removed. Stickney stated they would like to preserve the cabin if possible. Stickney stated in his opinion he should be able to construct a roadway 16 feet wide that would serve both the public and the private residents in this area.
