(1.27 acre) Allowed: 11,084 s.f. (20%) <br /> Proposed: 5,416 s.f. (9.7%) <br /> Section 78-1680 and 78-1700-Hardcover Calculations: <br /> Stormwater <br /> Overlay District Total Area in Allowed Hardcover Proposed Hardcover <br /> Zone <br /> Tier <br /> Tier 1 55,757 s.f. 13,939 s.f. 13,504 s.f. 530 s.f. <br /> (25 %) (24.2%) w/in 75' <br /> Applicable Regulations: <br /> Lot Area & Lot Width Variances (Section 78-305) <br /> The property does not conform to the area and width standards for the LR-1A district where it is <br /> located. Zoning Code Section 78-72 provides options for the redevelopment of lots which do not <br /> meet the minimum area or width requirements for the respective zoning district. 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 request for hardcover and building in the 75-foot lake setback results in the property's <br /> inability to conform to#1 and #4 above.Therefore, area and width variances are also required <br /> in order to redevelop the property. <br /> Lake Setback Variance (Section 78-1279) and 75-foot Hardcover Variance (Section 78-1680) <br /> The applicant is proposing to construct a new home with lakeside patio on the property. A <br /> detached garage is also proposed. Previous variance requests have been granted for similar <br /> encroachments due to the difficulties of the property including floodplain, lot size,topography, <br /> drainage, etc.The applicant is proposing to encroach as close as±70 feet to the lake with the <br /> home where a 75-foot setback is required. This encroachment is consistent with previous <br /> approvals on this property. <br /> The overall site hardcover level is conforming at 24.2%. The proposed patio and deck are <br /> partially within the 75-foot setback. Of the 13,504 square feet of hardcover proposed for the <br /> site, 530 square feet is proposed within the 75 lake yard. <br /> Conditional Use Permit for Plumbing (Section 78-1437) <br /> The Code provides for installation of plumbing, including a bathtub/shower, within an accessory <br /> building provided the building is conforming and a conditional use permit is granted. A <br /> restrictive covenant is also required which restricts the use of the accessory building. The <br />
