I the house is reduced in size to 33' x 30' (as mentioned above), the hardcover within this zone is maintained at 285 s.f. (28.64%). However, if the house is moved back 5' on the lot, the hardcover in this zone would increase to 420 s.f. (42.21%). Issues for Consideration: 1 . The proposed footprint can be adjusted to reflect a smaller footprint, meeting the existing average lakeshore setback, or it can be moved back on the lot 5' to reduce the average lakeshore setback and the rear setback; 2. The existing house encroaches 9' into the average lakeshore setback and is located on the east side and rear lot line; 3. The proposed house is located 10' from the side lot lines with a staggered front and second story deck to reduce the visual impact on the neighbors; 4. The existing culvert requires relocation on the property along one of the side lot lines. If the rear setback is not adequate for the culvert, the house would need to be located to accommodate it by moving no clo.scr to the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka than the setback approved; 5. Drainage and utility easements will be required over the relocated storm sewer; 6. The majority of the lot is located within the 0-75' setback zone. Hardcov er within this zone can be reduced by shifting the footprint back on the lot, further reducing the setback from the OHWL; 7. Other issues raised by the Planning Commission. Staff Recommendations: Staff supports the lot area and lot width variances. Staff recommends that the proposed 40* x 30' footprint be located 5' from the rear lot line, as outlined on the Analysis Worksheet as Alternative #3, to provide enough driveway length to safely park a vehicle. Staff recommends approval of the requested variances for new construction on the lot per Alternative #3, including lot area and lot width variances, with the following conditions: 1 . A building of no more than 30’ and no more than 2 '/i stories in height will be permitted to be constructed on the lot; 2. The existing culvert must be located prior to discussions with City staff regarding relocation. Prior to obtaining a building permit, a survey showing the proposed relocation of the culvert w ill be required. A drainage and utility easement will be required over the relocated culvert as well. The costs of these improvements will be the flnancial responsibility of the property owner; 3. Existing and proposed grading and drainage ways should be shown on plans submitted for a building permit; and 4. Erosion control measures must be installed, inspected and approved prior to any work on the site. M)3-28T6 Sevie L Laming ■i'2: 200i Page 4 of 5
