This recommendation of approval is based on the fact that this construction was approved through a variance- building permit granted in considera- tion of-possible vacation - and/or acquisition of the ten foot ease- ment held. by Ramsey County along Silver Lake Road and the Commission further finds that not granting the variance may cause financial hardship for the builder in .form of costs of replatting, redesigning and recalculating his construction plans .

'of Ramsey County for Silver Lake Road and offered a friendly amendment that the approval be made "contingent ' upon receipt of a written statement from Ramsey County as to their intent not to improve the easement with a roadbed" .
