Substandard <br />properties within the Shoreland Overlay District, like the subject lot, are able to be redeveloped <br />without variances if specific standards are met; such as: <br />1. All setback requirements can be met; <br />2. A Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, can <br />be installed or the lot is connected to a public sewer; and <br />3. The impervious surface coverage meets all hardcover location and square footage <br />restrictions of this chapter and the total square footage of hardcover does not exceed <br />25 percent of the entire lot area. <br />4. All other zoning district standards can be met. <br />The applicant’s request for 75-foot zone hardcover, lake, and average lakeshore setback <br />variances results in the property’s inability to conform to all of the standards above. Therefore, <br />lot area and width variances are required in order to redevelop the property. The ability to <br />develop the property consistent with other existing developed properties in the neighborhood <br />would be limited if the area and width variances are not granted. <br /> <br />Lake Setback; 75-foot Hardcover; and Average Lakeshore Setback Variances (Sections 78-1279 & <br />78-1680) <br />The existing home encroaches approximately 13 feet into the 75-foot setback and <br />approximately 24 feet average lakeshore setback. A 388 square foot portion of the home is <br />within the 75-foot setback; in addition to some stone stairs and retaining walls, there is an <br />existing 158 patio on the walkout level of west side of the home and a smaller, 38 square foot <br />landing on the west side all within the 75-foot setback. The applicant is proposing to construct <br />the new home to fit within the existing footprint on the lake side of the home (encroaching into
