In April 1989, the property owners applied for ' after-the-fact variances for hardcover on the 0-75 ’ setback zone; average lakeshore setback; structural setback from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka; and a side setback variance for the pool equipment building (Zoning File #1353. Resolution #2620). The requested variances were denied because a hardship could not be determined for additional hardcover within the setback zone. The owners were required to remove the poo! and spa and fully restore the property. The pool equipment building was pemiitted to remain for the time being, pending an application for a lot line rearrangement. In June 1989, pmperty owners were granted a lot line rearrangement (adding up to 20 ’ in lot width from the property to the southeast) and an after-the-fact structure to structure variance (Zoning I-ilc #1401, Resolution #2640-A) to keep the pool equipment building where it was constructed on the southeast side ol the house. The sur\c)' with this application shows a portion of the driveway to be remo\ ed. However, the resolution does not reference any required hardcover removals and the driveway has not changed to date.
