Describe alternatives to the requested variance such as other locations, designs and
construction technigues Attach a site map showinQ alternatives that vou considered in
each category below. 5E� ATrn<Ncv �
a) Alternatives you considered that will comply with existing standazds. If
you find such an alternative, you may move forward with this option
with a regulaz permit. If you rejected compliant alternatives, provide the
reasons that you rejected them.
(e.g., "Space is not available to expand in any other direction or location.
House is too close to the side lot lines and the lake."
Describe alternatives to the requested variance.....
A) Place the deck on the North side of the cottage.
This would not be a good alternative for several reasons.
1) Inside the Northwest area ot the cottage are storage cabinets. It would
be necessary to eliminate those cabinets in order to gain access to a
deck placed on that side of the cottage. In that the total square footage
of the cottage is only 600 sq. ft. all storage is extremely valuable.
2) Running from the cottage to the lake along the North property line is a
line of trees (mostly evergreens)that totally obscure any view of the
lake.The viewable area of the lake from a deck placed on the North side
of the cottage would be significantly reduced as compared to a deck
placed on the West side on the cottage.
3) Within the next 2 to 3 years I plan to add a garage on the Southeast side
of the property.This will block any access on the South side of the
property to the front of the cottage with a motor vehicle should
maintenance be required or access to the lake to work on or pull the
dock.This means that I must keep at least a 12 foot path clear on the
North side of the cottage to get to the lake side of the property if
necessary.There is a large evergreen approximately 15 to 18 feet from
the Northwest corner of the cottage. If I were to build even a 10 foot
deck on the North side my access to the lake side of the cottage would
6e restricted.
4) If at some future date I decided to add a third bedroom,the only place it
could be located would on the North side.That would not be an option
if I had the deck on that side of the house plus the future mounded
drain field located towards the Northeast corner of the property.
SEE ATTACHED MAP
b) Alternatives you considered that require a lesser variance and reasons
you rejected them.
(e.g., "Addition is the minimum size that is required.").
Describe the imoact on �propertv and adiacent properties if the variance is eranted.
(e.g, "Erosion during construction—will be controlled with silt fencing.
After construction there will be a greater impervious surface area.
Gutters and downspouts will be used to divert water away from other properties
and the lake. Shoreline buffer zone will be planted with native vegetation, trees
and shrubs.").
S��� �� � /ficD -.
Part 2: Three-Step Test.
To qualify for your requested variance, you must demonstrate that your property meets
the following three requirements. This is known as the "three-step test."
1) Unique Propertv Limitations.
Unique physical limitations of the property such as steep slopes or wetlands
that are not generally shared by other properties must prevent compliance with
ordinance requirements. The circumstances of an applicant (growing family,
need for a larger garage etc.) are not a factor in deciding variances. Nearby
ordinance violations, prior variances or lack of objections from neighbors or
the Town Board do not provide a basis for granting a variance.
Do unique physical characteristics of your property prevent compliance with
the ordinance?
[✓�Yes. Where are they located on your property? Please show the
boundaries of these features on the site map that you used to describe
alternatives considered.
(e.g., "There is a wetland area that extends around one side of the house
and also behind the house."). jyt u.ti.l� uc ���"� i� L�M�� %A r� � � %� TNi° T

❑ No. A variance cannot be granted.
3�L' �TTA2�t`I? M/��(' ..
U
Describe the impact on your property and adjacent properties......
A) There should not be any impact to my property. It will not be necessary to
remove any trees or change any landscaping. The setback from the front of
my property will still be 90 feet off the lake and should be barely visible
from the water.There should not be any impact to either of the property
owners to the North or South of my property.The addition of a deck to the
front of my property will in no way affect the lake view of the owner to my
South and there is a tree line between my cottage and the owner on the
North which obscures any view. I understand that if this variance is
approved I will need to sign a Land Usage Permit which will require that I
allow a shoreline buffer zone of native vegetation to grow in the first 30
feet of my property from the lake. I find this very acceptable in that I wish
to maintain as much of the natural north woods feel as possible. I plan to
add some native vegetation (grasses and shrubs) in a year or two if the
vegetation does not return on its own.
2) No Harm to Public Interests.
A variance may not be granted which results in harm to public interests. In
applying this test, the Board of Appeals must consider impacts of your
proposal and the cumulative impacts of similar projects on the interests of the
neighbors and the entire community. Some, but not necessarily all of these
considerations are: (1) Public health, safety and welfare, (2) water quality, (3)
fish and wildlife habitat, (4) natural scenic beauty, (5) minimization of
property damages and (6) achievement of eventual compliance for
nonconforming uses, structures and lots.
Explain how the granting of this variance would not harm the public interests
or how it may even enhance the public interests. j��� � �v%r�� �✓ o � a /u ' x i� ' i7 Ec/<

3) Unnecessary Hardship. � �
An applicant may not claim hardship because of conditions which aze self-
imposed or created by a prior owner (for example, excavating a pond on a
vacant lot and then arguing that there is no suitable location for a home.).
Courts have also determined that economic or financial hardship does not
justify a variance. When determining whether unnecessary hardship exists,
the proper[y as a whole is considered rather than just a portion of the parcel.
You are applying for an "area variance.' An area variance relaxes a
dimensional standard such as a setback, fron[age, lot area, or height. For an
area variance, unnecessary hardship exists when compliance would
unreasonablv prevent the owner from usine the propert f�permitted
purpose or would render conformitv with such restrictions unnecessarily
burdensome. The importance of the public purposes of the ordinance, the
degree to which the restriction supports those purposes and the extent of the
relaxation of the restriction are weighs against the limitations full compliance
would impose on use of the property.
Is unnecessary hardship present?

Subjact: Variance Request-Keith&Michelle Elwood Revocable T�vst i
i
— Dear Board Members: — {
I
I have reviewed the application for tliis appeal aud have the following comments. �
I
1
In my opinion I don't believe Mr.Elwood has met the burden for deroonstrating the presence of a miique property
limitation that prevents compliance with the s4vcture setback standazd from Nelson Lake.Even if the boa��
makes a finding tUat the property is unique, I don't agree thaY the hardships described are legal hardships that
warrantavariance. � !
The inlet on the neighbor's propeity is not a special or unique condition because Nelson Lake hes many 6ays or
inlets.The test for urmecessary hardship must be based on a specia]propeiTy condition that prevents compliauce
with the ordinary high watermark(OHWM)setback. The application describes the herdship as,"the only viable
location for a deck would be on the west side of the cotiage neither the nodh or south side of the cottage will
work."] dodt see any issue with pertnittutg a deck on the norfh side and possibly a bit smaller deck to the
sontheast side if the OHWM setback could be met.Each of the burdens described iu the application on why the
north side is not a good alternaflve are not legal liardships for the fol[owing reasons:
1) The internal layout and storage issnes are selfcreated hardslrips.7'he property's uniqueness must be the
cause of the hazdship.
2) If enjoying the view of the lake is a hardship then every waterfi�ont proper[y witUout a deck would suf£er
an unnecessety hardship. This would completely nndermine the purpose for having a structare setback in
ordar to protect public waterways from encroaching development within the shorelaud setback area.
3) Claiming a hardship from a gaigge that blocks access to the waterfi�ont woiild also be a self-created
hardship.The board shou[d make a finding based on existin property conditions.A tko ential situation
should not be nsed in decidittg Ehe existence of a legal hardship.A garage may never be built.A second
garage door on the west sida could provide waterfront access should the garage locafion be a piroblem.
4) T'his�u•gumeat contradicts why a deck on the north side is not a good alternative because it res�tricfs access
to the lake.Wouldn't a bedroom res[rict access as well?If a bedroom can be placed on the north side why
cau't a deck? As witl�the garage,the bedroom may never be added and ta decide a hardship on"what ifs"
is not appropriate.
Because the property is not unique and an alternative location is available for placing a deck a variauce should not
be g��anted.
