There follows the latest email concerning the jib crane. Even if we get the Clinrud approval, there are still some serious hurdles to be overcome.
Thanks, Bruce. I appreciate the care with which you went over everything. Sorry I could not meet with you this last Saturday -- we were not at the lake.
It is obviously going to be difficult to meet all the requirements for this project. Are you sure we need a variance to install a simple jib crane? I am not giving up, but I am quite discouraged.

Subject: Variance Application
James L Grant: Yesterday, I was contacted by Laura and informed that you dropped off some papers for the next BZA hearing. Today, I have had a chance to careful review the papers. First of all, it is suggested that you go to the Clear Lake web cite and look under "forms" and review the rules adopted by the BZA on August 21, 2006. The BZA made the rules. I am merely the messenger. The first 4 requirements have not been met and must be before a variance hearing will be scheduled. The 4 pages of the application that were have been reviewed. You are shown as the applicant, but you are not listed as the owner. If you are acting for the owner, then proper authorization is required to accompany the application. The owner is listed as a corporation. A certified corporate resolution authorizing the filing of the variance request and authorizing you to act on behalf of the corporation is required. This would include authorizing you to sign the application on behalf of the corporation and to represent the corporation at the hearing. Also, a certified copy of the corporate resolution designating who can sign documents on behalf of the corporation is required.
The rules adopted by the BZA require that the property owners touching the subject property be notified. I believe that the Yacht Club property and another property to the Northwest and across the street from the corporate property touches the subject property. These are not listed on page 4 of
the application. Other matters that are missing is as follows:
1. Drawing to scale of proposed project including all elevations and material list.
2. Site plan to scale showing property lines, existing improvements and location of proposed improvement.
3. Certified boundary survey.
4. Copy of property deed or deeds.
Please remember, that 7 copies of these 4 items are required. Additionally, a check payable to the "Town of Clear Lake" must accompany the application and related documents.
I will be at the Town Hall tomorrow, March 29, 2008 from 9AM until noon and will be happy to work with you in making sure that the paper work is in
order. Bruce R. Snyder Zoning Administrator
