Johnson <br />1045 Linden Lane <br />Variance Renewal <br />List of Exhibits: <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />E <br />F <br />G <br />Application <br />Resolution 3186 - Including Approved Site Plan (Variance Approval of 10'12/'92) <br />City Council Minutes (10/12/92) <br />Plat Map <br />Property Photo <br />Approved Elevations <br />Property Owners Notification List <br />Application <br />Property owner has applied to renew variances approved in 1992. The original approvals were to <br />permit additions to the existing residence and adding 3 to 4 courses of block under the existing house <br />to raise the ceiling height of the walkout level of the house. The residential additions included in the <br />original application are as follows; <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />Addition of second story over house. <br />Addition of attached garage and second story rec room. <br />Addition to east side of existing house. <br />Replacement of existing decks, addition of deck adjacent to rec room and master suite. <br />Construction of open porch/portico over existing deck on lakeside, extend existing deck <br />along house 10'. <br />Removal of existing detached garage and gravel parking area. <br />Construction of a new driveway. <br />Property owner has stated he was advised by the City that the application would not require yearly <br />renewals. 1 he variances expired one year from the date of approval. October 12,1993. Thv intent is <br />to complete the additions in stages with the raising of the house to occur first. Because the house, <br />porch addition, and deck addition are located within 75’ of the lakeshore a variance is required. <br />Site Plan Issues <br />The primary issues as noted in 1992 were potential drainage problems that may occur due to the <br />increased hardcover in the 75-250’ setback. Secondly the increased length and steepness of the <br />driveway could create some runoff and access problems for the property. The approved plan shows a <br />proposed driveway that would average a 12% slope. The City does not have a standard slope for a <br />driveway, but generally a driveway sloping 10% or less is recommended. <br />i
