to 15 feet;4)road frontage 150 feet to 100 feet;5)lot size 2.5
acres to .218 acre. A hardship has been proven and the
reasonable use of the property would be denied due to
circumstances beyond the owner's control. With following
conditions: 1) There shall be a compactor test on the
property;2)no deck with railings or patio;3)remove the shed and
no additional outbuildings be permitted;4)hook up to the 201
system be approved or septic on site;5)setback from lake be 36
feet to straighten the house. The owner is entitled to
reasonable use of his property and this will not create a
precedence for this road, because this property is larger than
other lots on the street.
