Dane County Board of Adjustment Minutes Page 6 of 7 ` August 27,2009 1. Unnecessary Hardship: It would be unnecessarily burdensome to prevent the restoration of the permitted residential use of this property damaged by flooding. 2. Unique Limitations of the Property: The June 2008 floods created the hardship for Lake Shore Drive property owners; it was not self-imposed. 3. No Harm to Public Interests: The applicant is willing to meet all Shoreland and Floodzone requirements, and requests minimal relief, as illustrated by the low lot coverage percentage and improved setback from OHWM. Motion carried: 5—0. IV. OTHER BUSINESS Chair Schulz mentioned he had spoken with County Executive Kathleen Falk earlier in the day, and related that she expressed thanks and appreciation for the efforts of the Board to provide a valuable service to the citizens on the County. 1.

Schutte also distributed information from the Center for Land Use Education, which presents such workshops for a minimum of 30 people, and asked the Board if she should contact Center staff about having a workshop in Dane County.
