155 Assembly Point Rd. ZOMG OFFICE
Dear Mr.Jaukoski:
Suhmltted for your distribution and review a re 15 sets of an area variance application for the referenced
property. The Kukcuks are second gene ratlon owners of a family home located at 155 Assembly Point Rd. It
L5 their desire to replace their 1940'5 era camp with a modern, more energy efficient yea r-round home to
serve their retirement years and ultimately future generations. As proposed, the new residence will
require two variance requests. The first variance is required as the property is subject to the provision
within the ordinance which requires the shoreline setback to be 50' or the average of the setbacks of the
two adjoining properties. Due to that fact that the house to the south is set back quite an unu5ua I distance
at 262' we will be seeking relief from this standard. Secondly, as proposed the residence has a building
height above the 28' standard. The Architect has reduced the roof pitch and lowered desired ceiling
heights and we have lowered the finish floor elevation but d ue to the Sloping Wpagraphy the structure Still
exceeds the height standard. belief is requested from the 28' standard.
Submitted as pa rt of the variance application documents is the area variance applicatlon, a variance plan
and various site plan drawings prepared by EDP, architecture drawings prepared by Creative Concepts, the
deed and � 5tamped, signed print of the property survey and a check for the application fee.
Note that we also request a wavier from submittal of various a ppIication checklist items not applicable to
residential projects, i.e. signage, breakdown of huiIdIng square footage by use, lighting, landscaping,
Sincerely,

Prosect Description:
The proposed project involves the replacement of an existing 1431 sf
(footprint) single-family residence with a new 1572 sf (footprint) single-
family residence. The properties in this area of Assembly Point road have
shoreline frontage but the road lies between the lake and the houses. The
proposed home will be located in the approximate same location as the
existing with a shoreline setback of 101 '. Included in the site improvements
will be a new wastewater system and provisions for stormwater
management. The existing water suppler from the late will be maintained.
While the proposed setback will be 101', welt beyond the 0' standard, the
property is subject to the provision that the setback be no less than the
average of the two adjacent properties. The residence to the north has a
shoreline setback of 102'+/- but the property to the south is
uncharacteristically setback of '+l-, resulting in an average of 182'. An
area variance will be requested for relief from this standard. In addition, the
second story of the proposed residence will have a limited section of the
ridgeline exceed the 28' building height standard. A second area variance
will be requested for relief from that standard as well.

Dear Mr. ukuk:
I arra writing you with regards to my review of the above-referenced project and to document the
recent conversations between your agent; Dennis NlacElroy and Laura Moore of my office.
As I understand your project, your proposal is to remove the existing single-family dwelling on
the property and construct a new home in the same general location. Upon my review, I find that
your proposal will require an Are$ Variance should yov wish to complete the project.
pe,Jfically, Area 'Variance relief is required from flit minimum setback and maximum height
requiremews of the Waterfronit Res idential; (SVR)district.
I understand that you may have submitted the necessary applications, as such; this letter serves as
the required denial letter for the processing of your application package.
Should you have any questions or comments regarding your application, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.
Sincerely,
