Discussion: Lot Area & Lot Width Two lots, 1280 and 1290 Spruce Place, 9,253 s.f and 9,300 s.f respectively, are proposed to be combined with this application to create a lot size of 18,553 s.f where 43,560 s.f (1 acre) is required. The lots are 49’ and 50’ in width, to create a combined lot width of 99’ where 140’ is required. Since this is new construction, variances are required for lot area and width. Required Setbacks The proposed home is located 102’ from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka, meeting the required 75 ’ setback. It is also located 35’ from the street, meeting the minimum 30’ setback requirement The proposed side setbacks also exceed the 10’ minimum requirement. The architect for the applicants has stated that the overhangs on the proposed home will not encroach more than 1 '/]’ into the side yards. Average lakeshore Setback Considering that the two properties are proposed to be combined, the average lakeshore setback is determined by the location of the existing houses at 1270 and 1300 Spruce Place. The average lakeshore setback line is located closer to the lake than the 75 ’ setback from the OHWL. Since the proposed structure is located more than 75 ’ from the OHWL, it does not encroach into the average lakeshore setback. no3’2835 Gerda and Ed Toth 5.13.2003 Page 2 of 6 m L iitmitiiiiiiii
