lakeside and two stories above the original grade. The proposed height meets the City’s requirement of 2 V2 stories and 30*. Lot Coverage Bv Structure The proposed lot coverage by structures on the property is 2,551 s.f. (12.6%). Since the proposed structural coverage is below the maximum allowed of 3,045 s.f. (15%), a variance is not required. Hard< er 0-75 ‘ Setback Zone There is 11,110 s.f of area in the 0-75’ setback zone. There is currently 2,254 s.f (20.29%) of hardcover within this zone where none is permitted. The existing hardcover consists of a portion of the existing home, various retaining walls, stairs and landings providing access to the lake. A steep slope from the house to the shoreline exists, requiring retaining walls and stairs to the lake. The proposed home will be located outside of the 0-75’ setback zone. The applicants propose to keep some of the existing retaining walls and stairs within this setback zone, totaling 274 s.f (2.47%) of hardcover where none is permitted. Stairways within the 0-75’ setback zone are permitted if they do not exceed 4’ in width and are built on the most inconspicuous portion of the lot. The stairs that are proposed to remain on the property meet these criteria. However, they do not reach the shoreline nor provide direct access to the proposed dock. 75 '-250 ■ Setback Zone There is 9,190 s.f of area in the 75’-250’ setback zone. There is currently 2,785 s.f (30.3%) of hardcover within this zone where 2,297.5 s.f (25%) is permitted. The applicants propose to increase hardcover within this zone to 3,367 s.f (36.6%), exceeding the 2,297.5 s.f (25%) maximum permitted. The proposed plan views of the home indicate two doors and an optional lower garage on the walk out level. The applicants are not proposing to have any hardcover landings outside of the doors nor in front of the optional garage (us.ed for seasonal storage only). Grading/Filling within 75’ of the OHWL The existing house is located within 75’ of the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. Demolition of the existing house will leave a hole in the grade that will require some filling and grading before the new home can be constructed farther back on the property. Since grading and filling of more than 10 cubic yards within IZ' of the OHWL is prohibited, a variance is required. The applicants do not propose to do any additional work within the 75’ setback from the OHWL. If any changes to the retaining wi.lls are necessary in the future, the applicants will be required to go through the variance process Tor approval.
