The variance is not for economic reasons alone <br />• See requirement #1 – there are no elegant ways to resolve these issues and meet the <br />setback criteria <br /> <br />Tree Preservation Plan <br />We have one large maple that we plan to take down during construction. The tree must be taken down <br />regardless, as it is leaning at a significant angle directly toward / over the house. It hangs directly over <br />the master bedroom within feet of the roof. Although we plan to plant many new trees, we do not feel <br />the removal of the maple requires the 2:1 replacement criteria. My father is Dr. Bert Swanson, a retired <br />professor of Horticulture at the University of Minnesota and active consultant in the nursery industry <br />will be helping with our yard. The yard has been long neglected – including woody trees and shrubs, <br />perennials, lawn and lake shore. We plan to have one of the most beautiful yards in the neighborhood. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Schedule <br />We plan to follow this schedule.
