(1.27 acre) Allowed: 11,084 s.f. (20%) <br />Proposed: 5,416 s.f. (9.7%) <br /> <br />Section 78-1680 and 78-1700 -Hardcover Calculations: <br />Stormwater <br />Overlay District <br />Tier <br />Total Area in <br />Zone Allowed Hardcover Proposed Hardcover <br />Tier 1 55,757 s.f. 13,939 s.f. <br />(25 %) <br />13,504 s.f. <br />(24.2%) <br />530 s.f. <br />w/in 75’ <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 />193 <br />193
