It is right in the middle of the road. Who would even give them a permit to build there? Someone will get hurt or killed if a car or truck ever hits the house. It will happen someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-50381190972570478822008-12-09T06:17:00.000-07:002008-12-09T06:17:00.000-07:00It looks like Matt and Cindy Larson carved a beau...It looks like Matt and Cindy Larson carved a beautiful apple into two jagged halves, one half that is about 70% of the original apple and a new half that is a rough-cut 30% of the original apple.<BR/><BR/>When people slice off a piece of their original property, intending to build on that property without doing their homework regarding current zoning laws and existing covenants, they deserve to be denied. After all, the new tiny lot was unbuildable to begin with by all current laws, covenants and standards. The County should not bail them out for their stubborness and arrogance.<BR/><BR/>If you haven't driven out there, take five minutes to drive south on 459th Avenue (half-mile east of Johnson's Point Road) toward the lake, but make sure you get stopped before you drive into the lake and Larson's basement foundation. That would be one heck of a fall!<BR/><BR/>This is about public safety as much as violating zoning regulations and existing covenants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-65115912676136776432008-12-08T19:46:00.000-07:002008-12-08T19:46:00.000-07:00I have nine years experience teaching HS English. ...I have nine years experience teaching HS English.

I watched a man cut holes in a settling pond holding water from a former cattle feedlot. The water ran into Round Lake. I also watched this same man burn of slew and then back fill in the crick bed. Now that has become a Golf Course, a Camp Ground, and is still trying to be developed into some kind of trailer park or something that looks pretty atrocious. The same land owner is trying to back fill another slough so he can sell a few more lots. No one seems to care at the county. <BR/> Do what you want we don't care if it increases the tax revenue then by all means do it....that seems to be the counties motto when it comes to zonning.economically cluelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406241083657208107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-18421609846553959312008-12-08T10:00:00.000-07:002008-12-08T10:00:00.000-07:00Who is the "eager reader" supplying this informati...Who is the "eager reader" supplying this information?Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05937655360187979029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-56947659397073339902008-12-08T06:26:00.000-07:002008-12-08T06:26:00.000-07:00"Build First, Ask Questions Later" has long been t..."Build First, Ask Questions Later" has long been the motto in Lake County for zoning violations.
