Kye and Julia Samuelson <br />3493 Siems Court <br />Variance Request for Accessory Structure <br />Revisions Explanation and Narrative – December 2020 Meetings <br /> <br />As a result of the October planning commission meeting, Kye Samuelson and True North Contracting <br />have taken all discussion topics into key consideration and made adjustments/reductions/modifications to <br />acknowledge the variables surfaced in the prior meeting. Below is a summary of the variables addressed: <br />- Repositioning/relocation of the structure, no longer encroaching within Ordinary High-Water <br />Line <br />- Confirmation of positioning of the structure to run laterally/parallel to shoreline <br />- Reduction of overall square footage of the structure <br />o Reduction in length – to 11ft. <br />o Reduction in width – to 8.5 ft. <br />- Confirmation of several variables that make the project entirely unique, in order to reduce <br />precedent and future requests for variance within current code requirements <br />Below is a summary of the key variables in consideration as conditional elements for this variance <br />request: <br />- Proposing the use of language of a ‘floating shed’ meeting the following conditions unique to <br />this specific scenario <br />o No adjustments to the existing footings/framing of the existing structure atop which <br />the accessory structure will be constructed <br />o No adjustment of the land or surface surrounding the area <br />o 100% drainage and runoff (no pervious surface) beneath the existing structure, with <br />runoff uninhibited by foundation or any non-natural elements <br />o Improvement of the previous legal non-confirming structure to promote natural runoff <br />o Optional requirement for addition of vegetation around future structure for <br />environmental and aesthetic purposes <br />o Optional requirements for language on maintenance of vegetation for aesthetic <br />purposes <br />We are hopeful that this summary will provide the necessary information on the key variables in order to <br />accommodate this request for variance supported by the descriptions and rationale provided in response <br />to the statutory requirements. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kye and Julia Samuelson <br />True North Contracting
