2007 - Not listed in lake directory/Maxinkuckee Land Trust

5 June 2008 petition published reads:...a variance to remove a non-conforming residence and rebuild a primary residence entirely ...and to remodel a non-conforming structure...

.... asked that a variance be granted to remodel an existing guest/house/ garage. The footprint would not change. The primary residence that is non-conforming will be removed and will be rebuilt to ordinance setback requirements. The present zoning ordinance requires one dwelling unit per parcel.

.... said they would build a portico to connect the new home with the existing guesthouse & garage. Remodeling of the garage area is primarily windows and siding and the owners would live there while the new main residence was being built.

... a portico arrangement was not acceptable to avert the zoning ordinance requirements. They also noted that presently, the guesthouse was grand fathered, but once the main structure was removed, it couldn't be rebuilt as a separate unit...

...an altered sketch showing a one-story connection of the present garage/guesthouse and new residence. The connection will be a solid structure essentially making one residence on the parcel...
