Mar-30, 2006 11:27AM No-2039 P. 3 control water run-off from the home and not into the lake which we are happy to comply with and welcome any other suggestion to better maintain the area. We have also been working with a professional septic designer and the city to plan a septic system that is not only adequate for the current needs of the proposed home, but would also insure the sufficient space for a future site if that became necessary. Incorrect information was given out at the firs! meeting on this very important point We have lived on a lake or a river for the past twelve years and are avid outdoor people. We desire to do everything within our ability to ensure that these lakes are kept healthy and understated that if it is not done correctly now it will only cost us more to take care of in the future. We have owned this property for almost a year, During that time we have had the opportunity to meet several of the neighbors, including those who are adjacent to our property (one of which attended the Planning and Zoning meeting) and those who live in the cul-de-sac, Tleus far our only neighbor to have any objection to our current plan is our mayor, W. 3ohnstou whose own home is a pad of the photo package. As you may well know this is a small dead-end road that most property owners to the north generally don't venture down and believe the greatest concern would be from those nine homes to our south and the home directly to the north, 'There are a number of other homes around the lake we feel are also comparable to this home. Since sheds and "barn like garage structures" are discouraged and there is a city ordinance regarding boats parked in front yards, we carefully designed an unobtrusive three stall tuck -under garage and additional storage into the home, This space is needed to be able to park our vehicles inside and to have room for boats, yard equipment and other miscellaneous lake home and recreational equipment. To be in compliance with the current city ordinance is very important to us, as well as our neighborhood. Because of the impervious requirement to be under 6,000 sq. ft., we have made our hard surface driveway considerable smaller that we desire, but again we want to meet the requirements of the city ordinance. Over all we are greatly improving the property which will be of benefit to the surrounding neighborhood via the natural aesthetics of our property and the compliance to the city ordinances, but financially as well.
