Dear Harold:
Thank you for sending a copy of the T. E. Janssen bluff line setback
variance request for my review and comment.
The plan submitted, as well as my familiarity with the area, indicates
that there are no physical hardships on the lot which would make a
setback variance necessary. There is sufficient space on the lot so
that the full 100' setback could be met. This also applies to the 25'
side yard setback requirement.
Therefore, we would object to the granting of any variances to either
the bluff line or the side yard setbacks. If you have any questions
about this matter, please contact me at (715) 836-2941.
Sincerely,,
Jake VanderVoort

Re: Janssen setback variance
Dear Board members:
The Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission staff has reviewed the applica-
tion of T.E. Janssen for construction of a fence and garden shed less than 100
feet from the bluffline on property in St. Joseph Township in the Lower St.
Croix National Scenic Riverway.
From the materials submitted, it is impossible for either our offie or the
Board. of Adjustment to evaluate the application with respect to the distance
from the bluffline to the structure. It is essential, according to the St.
Croix County Riverway Ordinance, that a professional establish the location of
the bluffline on the plan, as well as the location of the proposed building.
In this case, a line drawn by Stevens Engineers Inc. identifies an "approximate
bluffline" on part of the property, and. persons unknown have shown a "bluffline"
on the remainder of the property in pencil. There is no certification of the
bluffline location as required by the county ordinance and by NR 118.
We recommend the county table this application until the proper materials have
been submitted so that it can be factually evaluated. We suggest this also will
give the applicant time to prepare an explanation for the county as to why the
structure cannot physically be placed in compliance with the 100-foot setback.
It would appear from the drawing (and we have not yet inspected the property to
evaluate it fully) that Mr. Janssen has ample space on his property in which to
locate a garden shed in compliance with the setback.
We are sorry that a meeting conflict prevents our attendance at your meeting.
We hope to be able to be represented at your rescheduled hearing.
AevenP. Nhnson,
Ass ociate Director
