Unfortunately the storage location is in violation of City ordinance#78-1577 (4) d 2. Your lot has Streets on 3 sides so the location of the boat is considered a front yard where boat storage is not allowed. ' Therefore the city must require you to move the boat to a conforming location or off site. A dead line of October 19, 2009 has been established for relocation. If you have any questions, or if you have a problem meeting this deadline please feel free to contact me at my office.

If the rear lot line is less than ten feet in length, or if the lot forms a point at the rear, the rear lot line shall be a line ten feet in length within the lot, parallel to and at the maximum distance from the front lot line. On a lakeshore lot, the rear lot line is the lot line that is opposite the natural ordinary high water mark at the lakeshore.

Farm Rd. I am writing this letter on behalf of my father, Bob Mack. As per our conversation last week regarding the boat storage, I tried to look up the ordinance as to what consistutes a front yard and was unable to find it. In our conversation, you told me any road bordering the property is considered the front yard. There are three roads bordering the property which would make three front yards, and according to that makes boat storage unavailable on this property. Please forward me a copy of the ordinance and the date in came into effect. We would like you to explain what constitutes a front yard and see a definition. Thanks for your assistance. 2 RE�Ei��o Robert P.
