Zoning regs say you can't build closer to the lake than the average setback of your nearest neighbors and Larson's home was going to infringe on the neighbors' ability to see portions of the lake. Also, Larson's lot is only 36-feet wide at the rear, so it violates the 75-foot minimum width zoning rule. This information is all public and available at the courthouse. They didn't file elevation drawings or exact dimensions which are required. It is up to the owner of the property, no the county, to make sure they have done their homework before they build. Just saying, "I didn't know that" won't fly. These folks are realtors, they should have known the rules.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-2168579174700708352009-01-07T20:24:00.000-07:002009-01-07T20:24:00.000-07:00I drove out there to see where this home was being...I drove out there to see where this home was being built. Right in the center of 459th Avenue. Not a safe place if someone drives in the fog or during a snowstorm. It is easy to see why the neighbors are concerned and the county pulled the permit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
