Halbing told the board the change was needed so that “roof water gets dissipated” as i well as for appearance. ib “We all like to have aesthet- & ics,” he said. i Saying it was only his opin- i ion, Halbing added that he ] thought the addition “could J bring some old world character ! back to the lake.” He said rough calculations showed approximately 25 square feet would project above the previously allowable height 1 limit of 14 feet. “In our opinion it’s a relatively small area,” he ; said. I Frank Lutinski, board chair- ! man, asked where the height was measured from. Halbing | responded that the measure- | ment was taken from the main 1 lock, not the lowest dock, hich is allowed under the cur- rent ordinance. Board attorney Mark Mec- Nealis asked if the addition re- quired other encroachment per- mits from the Department of i Environmental Protection y (DEP). Halbing responded that } it had. 1 McNealis also inquired as to whether the Metzes owned property on both sides of the street, to which Halbing replied they owned 10 acres across the street and 600 feet of water- front property. Board members voted unani- | mously in favor of the addition y after a five-minute recess. | After the meeting, board members Carol McCoach, Michael Garrity, and Lutinski said they granted the addition- “In our opinion it’s a relatively small area.” John Halbing Representing the owner al height because the actual roof that will be above the al- lowable limit “is a very small area.” Richard Haas told the board he and his wife, Lynn Banta, would like a variance to raise a roofline 2.6 additional feet. The change would raise the roof height from 12 to 14.6 feet. Banta, a zoning hearing board member, recused herself prior to her husband’s testimony. Haas said he would like to change his existing rubber flat roof to a peaked shingled roof. Haas said a continuous leak with the current roof has caused rotting and made it un- safe. “Sometimes I think my mid- dle name is ‘leak’,” Haas joked. He said the change would mean not having to replace the roof every four years. Haas presented photos to the board that showed how tall shrubbery along the property would block the view of the roof extension almost entirely. “I don’t believe it will have any effect on the environment or view,” said Milton Lutsey, Harveys Lake Zoning Officer. Lutsey reported that neighbors had been notified and that none had reported having an is- sue with the change. The board voted unanimous- ly to allow the variance. 3 height. — POST PHOTO/ERIN YOUNGMAN i] The roof on this boathouse at pole 102 will be getting a new roof now that the Harveys Lake Zoning Hearing Board has granted a variance for it to exceed the maximum allowable tw ee 15g IF SISTERIIULE Eh Back Mountain Recreation Inc. is letting a contract on construction of the firs . plex in Lehman Township. It is the field at top right in this rendering of the entire site. Rec field —— (continued from page 1) has planned a field superior to the typical youth soccer field. An eight-inch combina- tion of high grade sand and or- ganic material will be installed resulting, Grove said, in a more level and well drained field that will be easier and cheaper to maintain. “It will be costly to con- struct,” he said, “but by far it is the best way to go. It will be about equivalent to what you would find at a Division 1 col- lege.” Equal amounts of grant mon- ey and “cash on hand” will be used to build the field. Also in- cluded in the project are two parking lots and an wunder- ground irrigation system. The field will be located off of Out- let Road, just down from the old Lake-Lehman middle school. Not all the money needed to build the rest of the recreation- al area has been raised, said Grove. The entire project is to include seven soccer fields, five baseball fields, two multi-pur- pose fields, an ice skating rink, walking, hiking and picnic ar- eas and more. A capital fundraising campaign to raise the remaining $3.5 million re- quired is expected to begin'in the spring. Grove said he hopes building the first field prior to the begin- ning of the fundraising efforts will “show folks the project is making progress,” and that those involved are “serious” about its completion. Back Mountain Recreation board members have said that approximately $1.5 million has already béen raised. State grants and private donations in t field at the Bac the amount of $750,000 were used to purchase the formerly private 130 acres. Construction of the first field was “originally” ‘scheduled for last spring. “We’re maybe a lit- tle bit behind,” Grove admitted and’said the delay was due to unexpected details that have arisen. “We're really trying to go the extra mile because the facility is going to get tons of use,” he said. The up side is that the board has learned so much that “Planning the other fields will be a lot easier,” said Grove. Open At the Farm Visit 251 N.
