Doc #327424; CSM Vol 26 Page 164. 81'x123'containing approximately .23 acres. Prop- erty is zoned Residential One. Application is for the construction of a single family dwell- ing at a setback distance of 30' to the centerline of Third Street (a town road). Variance is requested as Section 4.21(3), Sawyer County Zoning Ordinance, would require a mini- mum setback distance of 63' from the centerline of this road. The Town Board has ap- proved the application as amended. The Board of Appeals approved the application as follows: 1. Increase the setback from the cen- terline of Third Street North from 30' to 36.5', with a setback of 20' to the right-of-way of the street. 2. Reduce the setback on the opposite side lot line from 34' to 27.5'. 3.Approve the set- back between the driveway to this lot and the driveway to the lot to the south at whatever that setback distance is . Findings of Fact of the Board of Appeals: It would not be the convenience of the owner. It would not be the basis of economic gain or loss. There would be no change in the use in the zone district. It would not be damaging to the rights of others or property values. It would be due to special conditions unique to the property. Any person or persons jointly aggrieved by this decision of the Board of Appeals may commence an action in the Circuit Court for Writ of Certiorari to review the legality of this decision within 30 days after the date of this notice.

Re:Habitat for Humanity L' � Zn Wf'�+.LI�C� , Dated this__�<J CS.�day of �IZ�G'� �C,� ,20 U�� ���, `�/1, 1,-P.�/ �' aine Nyberg,Clerk � s�,� TOWN OF SAND LAKE SAWYER COUNTY PLAN COMMISSION Tuesday,November 1, 2005 MINUTES Chairman, Edgar Gregory, called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. Members present: Bill Christman, Harry Miller, Pat Patko, Rick Traver and Gene Vaenendall. The purpose of the meeting was to consider a variance application submitted by Habitat for Humanity of Sawyer County, Inc. for the construction of a single family dwelling on parce1026-194-00-0804, Village of Stone Lake. A variance is required as the proposed dwelling will be located 30' from the centerline of Third Street North. The Sawyer County Loning Ordinance requires a minimum setback disiance of ci3' to the centerline of this street. Bill Christman explained the need for this variance. The primary issue is that this lot has Town roads on two of its sides (Third St.North—on the north side of the lot and Frost Avenue—on the east side of the lot),thus requiring a 63' setback from the centerline of each of the roads. The lot is not large enough so that both of these setbacks and all lot line setbacks can also be met. There was considerable discussion on applying County zoning requirements in a village situation, in that nearly all construction activities within the Village of Stone Lake requires the priar approval of one or more variances simply because of the configuration (size) of the lots and the fact that the village streets are considered to be Town roads by County Zoning. There was also discussion on the need far garages when constructing new housing units. This particular application was placed on hold while the applicant decided whether a garage should be constructed on this lot. The applicant decided that a - garage would not be required. The issue of the Commission recommending approval of all such similar variances was discussed and whether the granting of such variances really meets the planning objective of"Smart Growth." Motion by Rick Traver to recommend to the Town Board to: 1. Increase the setback distance from the centerline of Third Street North to the proposed dwelling from 30' to 36.5' resulting in a setback distance of 20' to R-O-W of the street, 2. Reduce the dwelling setback on the opposite side lot line from 34' to 27.5' and 3. Approve the setback distance between the driveway access to this lot and that of the driveway access to the lot to the south, regardless of the distance between the two driveways. Discussion. The Commission believes that for the safety of its residents, the house should be located further than 30' to the centerline of Third Street North. The third part of the motion (driveway setbacks)was made as it is anticipated that the driveway access to this lot will be closer than 75' to the driveway access to the lot to the south. Currently both lots are in the same ownership. The Commission also believes that the County Zoning minimum setback requirement of 75' between driveways accessing a Town road should not apply in a village setting. Approving the driveway setback now will prevent the owners of these lots from having to apply for a driveway setback variance should one be required. Motion was seconded by Pat Patko. Motion carried unanimously. Gene Veenendall moved that the meeting be adjourned, seconded by Rick Traver. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M. �� Respectively submitted Bill Christman, Secretary. � � Sawyer�County Zoning Administration o � O Inspection Report � ,��, � �� O r] Owner(s) Habitat for�Iumanitv of Sawver Countv Inc 634-5900 � O�x o � a Address PO Box 13047 Hayward WI 54843-3047 00 ,� a � a Agent/Purchaser � � � Address � n O � Bldr/Plber/CST ,x Address � a Inspection � Private ❑ Public Violation ❑ Zoning ❑ Sanitation Z � � � Dwelling ❑ Mobile Home ❑ Commercial ❑ Garage ❑ Addition �, � ❑ Setback-Lake � Setback-Road � Setback-Lot Line ❑ Soils Verification � � ❑ � .< �' o QCD#327424 R 1 Acres� 23(10 044 sq/ft) Lot 1 CSM Vol 26 pg 164 � '� C °n � a � �' � � � o � � 0 �. � �f eA � w � ✓n C � � o � ��+ � � � I r � x �-- 3 � -�ia " � � � � co c� 3 T-, � p c'' y c� � � � � � � � x o r P� v � � � � o � ,C � � � �r= N o ; � � � � � � �i -'`� r ,��, � ' � S� e 0 °�° U � ,o (�6 f �m4_ � � t 4 , o � 2 � � I ~ ��� - � - ^ � o � F K,Z� o � I � � �I y tw_.__,' � � � � � 6� � � ���,. � w � _ _ .� �� — 'c�'al1�r J,scv�— I � z � w • � � _ I � o � I� � Discussed with Pete Sanders Date&Time Au ust 9,2 OS /d.L i Signature ofInspectorr — ' - Town of s� n��{�e County of Sawyer � � . z Oo s� Date SUBJECT: Variance Application TO: Sawyer County Zoning Administration PO Box 676 Hayward, Wisconsin 54843 Owner � �c� �..r�� ,(6/ �i�►�,1� Address e�o lD 4�(p�� ��rf f-��l,L�(..c)..� S ��3 Phone 7l�' - (p 3�,�- ,j lrDO Property description 1 �� / g! c,Sm L�(3 � ZCQ � !�o y — D r� �� L . 8 - (� � l��4 '2 jj�r S'�t>rVP L.u..K,�2 , �OWr� n � Sae.nc� �.Gt-K� S� Q. e.�cl�►' Ce�c�►'�.�../ kJX-- CSz� - I� �L- oo -o8oy Vol & pg no of deed & survey L�� 3z 7yI �/ Acreage and lot size . ,Z3 ��r� $/ •[n ` 1C t Z 3 ' Property is zoned 1�1 �� Application is for � �rtS�fiUC�.to►'� a� c�. c�v�le '�Q � �v dwe t l � n4 0 + a Se�-boK'.K o�r 30 ` �40 �� � � � o � -j'h� rd S�-re e�, Q �awn �.�,�a.� ..

You or your representative should attend each hearing, especially the hearing conducted by the Sawyer County Board of Appeals. Only the Board of Appeals can grant the variance, the decision of the Town of Sand Lake is advisory only. - t ' It is your responsibility to convince the Board of Appeals to grant the variance that you have requested. Therefore, you should consider using any means at your disposal (i.e., photographs, drawings, a good verbal presentation, etc.) as you present your facts to the Board. At its October 2002 public hearing, the Board members decided to apply expiration dates to future variances. You should be prepared to discuss this issue with the Board (i.e., proposed date that construction would begin, any anticipated construction delays that may be caused by the availability of contractors, excavators etc.). Please contact this office if you have any questions. Office hours are 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday. Yours truly, `�, / � � William A. Christman Zoning Administrator
