have provided before and after visuals to show that the proposed structure steps back <br /> away from the lakeshore,reducing the height and proximity to the lake. <br /> Our proposal reduces the proposed hardcover by 3,719 square feet below the existing <br /> residence and is below 25%making it conforming. <br /> Our proposal reduces total lakeshore hardcover by over 32%. Not including the lakeshore <br /> gravel covering,the existing Lake Minnetonka lakeshore includes almost 6,400 s.f.of <br /> hardcover within the lakeshore setback. Our proposal reduces Minnetonka lakeshore <br /> hardcover by 38%to about 3,950 s.f. and returns all of the gravel landscape cover to <br /> natural grass and plantings. It is unknown whether the existing gravel landscaping has <br /> plastic underneath,however it is currently an eyesore and very unnatural. Including the <br /> French Creek lakeshore in calculations,we reduce hardcover from almost 13,600 s.f. down <br /> to about 9,200 s.f. <br /> We appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing this application for the proposed <br /> replacement structure. <br /> Peter Eskuche <br /> 4110 <br /> Eskuche Design Group <br /> 612-296-7575 <br /> I <br />
