FILE #17-3950 17 July 2017 Page 2 of 5 *The actual average setback measurement has not been provided. The applicant will be providing the measurement of the distance between the house at 1700 Shoreline and the lakeshore for the Planning Commission meeting. Section 78-420 - Lot Area/Width: LR -1A Lot Area Lot Width Required 87,120 s.f. (2.0 acres) 200' Actual 175,175 s.f. (4.0 acre) 120'@ 75' SB / 100' @ OHWL Section 78-1403- Structural Coverage: The property exceeds 1.99 acres, therefore structural coverage limitations do not apply. Section 78-1700 -Hardcover Calculations: Stormwater Overlay District Total Area in Zone Allowed Hardcover Proposed Hardcover Tier 43,793 s.f. 9,139 s.f. Shoreline Drive Tier 1 175,175 s.f. (25%) (5.2%) w/in 75' Applicable Regulations: Lot Width Variance (Section 78-420) Zoning Code Section 78-72 provides options for the redevelopment of lots which do not meet the minimum area or width requirements for the respective zoning district. Substandard properties within the Shoreland Overlay District, like the subject lot, are able to be redeveloped without variances if specific standards are met; such as: 1. All setback requirements can be met. 2. A Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, can be installed or the lot is connected to a public sewer; and 3. The impervious surface coverage meets all hardcover location and square footage restrictions of this chapter and the total square footage of hardcover does not exceed 25 percent of the entire lot area. 4. All other zoning district standards can be met. The applicant's need for an average setback variance results in the property's inability to conform to #1 above. Therefore, a lot width variance is also required in order to develop the property. Average Lakeshore Setback Variance (Section 78-1279) The applicant is proposing to construct a new home with a lakeside pool on the property. Because 1700 Shoreline Drive is the only adjacent lakeshore lot, the average lakeshore setback variance for the subject property is determined by the distance between the 1700 Shoreline Drive home and the lake. The 1700 Shoreline Drive property has lakeshore on both Tanager Bay on the north and Smith's Bay on the south. This home is set back approximately 1000 feet from the lake on the south side making the majority of the subject property unbuildable due to the applied Average Lakeshore Setback. The new home and pool are proposed to encroach lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line.
