Letter from City Engineer, Tom <br />Kellogg dated May 11,2004 <br />Background <br />The property is located on the western side of Brackett’s Point Road and has over 600’ of <br />lakeshore. The property owner has removed the existing home and is planning a new <br />residence on the existing 3.3 acre lot. The applicant has proposed a home which meets <br />all setbacks, hardcover within the 75 ’-250 ’ zone, and is not limited on structural <br />coverage. <br />As part of the redevelopment of this property, the owner is proposing to replace the <br />existing lake yard with native floodplain shrubs and grasses. Included in this, the <br />applicant is requesting a hardcover variance within the 0-7S ’ zone in order to construct a <br />boardwalk to the lake through the native vegetation. A fence is also proposed to be <br />erected within 75 ’ of the OHWL; the applicant has indicated that this wire mesh fence is <br />necessary for security and privacy. <br />A number of retaining walls and grading are also proposed as the result of stormwater <br />inundating the southern part of the property. This work will result in retaining walls, <br />drain tile, and a swale to direct the stormwater away from the property and also to <br />provide infiltration to the restored native floodplain vegetation area prior to reaching <br />Lake Minnetonka. A portion of this work is proposed within the floodplain and the <br />applicant will seek the necessary approvals from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed <br />District. <br />In addition, the applicant has proposed a unique architectural design for the home, which <br />consists of a one-level residence with a height of approximately 20 ’ with several <br />chimneys reaching heights of 40 ’ 8”. The chimney heights require a conditional use <br />permit. <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORSHEET <br />LR-IA Lot Area Lot Width <br />Required 2 acres (87,120 s.f.)200 ’ <br />Actual 3.3 acres (144,491 s.f.)650 ’+ {measured at a line <br />parallel to the shore) <br />i
