Shull were present for this <br />matter. <br />Mr. Shull explained his request for a variance for a <br />boat ramp to draw the boat up and out of the water to be <br />stored on his lot. He noted the hardships are the water <br />conditions on this property and there is a lot of <br />=wildlife around (including muskrats and beavers who are <br />known to chew at the housing of boats), also the <br />..vegetation because of the Woldsfeld Creek flowing into <br />-Long Lake causing problems with the steering mechanism, <br />planing control apparatus, and sensing device for the <br />speedometer. He noted that algae adheres to and eats <br />into the gelco on a fiberglass boat causing the surface <br />to be damaged. In addition, mooring at a dock would <br />.require a more substantial dock because of the unstable_ <br />%lake--bed with potential wave .action pulling up -the dock <br />and moving the boat. Shull would like to limit <br />construction of this magnitude on Long Lake because of <br />the conservation easement. <br />F-0 <br />
