-2- 10/3/75 Minutes Board of Adjustment 5. Assessment records reveal that there were no assessments for improve- ments on the land for the year 1969. 6. Appeal #377 would result in a 100% increase in the living area by the addition of an upper story. 7. Appeal #389 requests remodeling and new siding "just-to make live- able". 8. Appeal #392 requests new siding and roof repair. 9. In field inspection by Board of Adjustment disclosed that struc- tures were in poor condition. 10. Communication from Dunn Town Board stated their opposition to grant- ing of the appeals. 11. Communication from L.J. Enger stating that the granting of any special exception or variance to improve or enlarge the buildings would be, in effect, permitting a new building when and where the ordinance prohibits such a building. 12. Certified Survey Map #1670, dated 4/29/75 clearly indicates that the existing structures were non-conforming with respect to flood plain and building setback from shoreline. Conclusion: 1. Based on assessed valuation of structures which was $0.00, at the time they became non-conforming in 1969, the proposed improvements would be in excess of 50% of the assessed value and the granting of the appeals would be, in effect, permitting new buildings which are pro- hibited by the ordinance. 2. The structures are totally non-conforming as to use and location, granting of appeals would be in contradiction to phasing-out intent of the ordinance and would be contrary to public interest by inde- finately extending the non-conforming use and permitting possible expansion of such use with resulting detriment to health conditions. 3. Denial of appeals is not contrary to rights of the individuals; the structures were known to be non-conforming when purchased and may be continued in use as non-conforming under the provisions of the Dane County Zoning Ordinance. Motion carried. Meeting was adjourned. Harland Dahlk Secretary
