Commission held a Public Hearing and recommended approval of the requested variance

variance requested. Reasonable use must be defined in the context of
contemporary housing standards and design. The proposed modifications

where principal structures were constructed prior to adoption of
Shoreland Regulations; and, the circumstances of the variance were not
solely created by the applicant.

neighborhood, if said neighborhood is defined by the preponderance of
contemporary lakefront housing in the City.
