He has requested variances to permit removal of the <br />existing house and construction of a new house. The new house would be a two bedroom/two bathroom <br />home with a one stall “tuck under" garage space. <br />Access to this property and 5 others is via a private, shared driveway that accesses North Shore Drive. The <br />private driveway is located across the back of the individual lots. The applicant ’s property is the 4"' of 6 <br />properties that require the drive for access. The driveway is required because the public road is located at <br />a much higher elevation than the properties below. <br />According to Hennepin County records the existing house was constructed in 1920. The house is 599 s.f. <br />in size. The new house would allow' the property owners to have additional living space and one garage stall. <br />Currently the property does not have a garage. The proposed house would be located the same distance from <br />the driveway as the current house. Please refer to the attached survey that show s the location of the house. <br />Due to the small size of the lot, the driveway location, and elevation change between the roadway above and <br />the lot it is not possible to rebuild on the property without requiring variances. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of the application based on the hardships noted in the attached resolution. <br />Approval is conditioned upon the following: <br />1.Drainage and Utility easements shall be provided 10* along the north property line and 5' along the <br />interior property lines. <br />Itia rtlif III II 1 11 111 11 1 ' I •mr..-----------i..n .ii .. ------------JLI-1 UUBG <br />1
