Findings of Fact

1. Is the variance in harmony with the purpose and intent
of the Ordinance?		 
Yes, the variance we are requesting is in harmony with the ordinance to the best of our abilities using the property and space available in the most practical way we are able.
By placing the septic furthest from the lake and wetlands and building pole building within the building envelope the best space available for the house is where we are proposing.
2. Is the variance consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? 
Yes, we are using the space available to the best of our ability due to the properties unique outline/layout.
3. Is the property owner proposing to use the property in a
reasonable manner not permitted by the Land Use
Ordinance? Why?		 
Yes, we are using the space available to the best of our ability due to the properties unique outline/layout. We have placed the house as far to the south line of property, furthest from the wetline as possible and 75 ft fro the lake. We made the house longer and narrower to best fit the situation. Placing the sewer as far away from the wetland as possible is also apart of our plan.
4. Is the need for a Variance due to circumstances unique
to the property and not created by the property owner?
Why?		 
Yes, the property has wetland on the north side of the property being considered ordinary high water, which creates very limited space for building. With the 75ft set back and the lot is only 100 ft wide it creates unique situation.
5. Will the issuance of a Variance maintain the essential
character of the locality? Why?		 
Yes, we are asking to get closer to the high water line.However, we do not plan to alter anything with the wetland/high water only to get slightly closer for building purposes while abiding by the 75 ft set back from the actual lake and placing other components further away within building envelope.
6. Does the need for a Variance involve more than
economic considerations? Why?		 
No, we eventually plan to build a family home.
Is this an after-the-fact application? No
