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 /> <br />The applicant’s request for average lakeshore setback variance results in the property’s inability <br />to conform to all of the standards above. Therefore, lot width and area variances are required in <br />order to redevelop the property. The ability to develop the property consistent with other <br />existing developed properties in the neighborhood would be limited if the area and width <br />variances are not granted. <br />
