Section 10.22, Subd. 2 and Section 10.56, Subd. 16 (L)(2): Hardcover in 75-250*: Within 75- <br />250' of the shoreline there shall be no greater than 25% hardcover. To permit 4,797 s.f. (33.54%) <br />hardcover where 3,575 s.f. (25%) is allowed. <br />Application Summar)*: The applicants own the subject property and arc requesting a hardeover <br />varianee in the 75-250’ setback zone to construct a new residence on the lot. <br />Background: The applieant's first two proposals were more expansive than the plan now in front <br />of the Planning Commission. After reviewing the initial application, staff discussed lot coverage by <br />structures on the lot with the applicant, explaining that structural coverage on the lot was increasing <br />and would be over the 15% allowed by city ’ code. The applicant redesigned the residence to meet <br />the 15®'o lot coverage by structures for the property. However, hardcover in the 75-250' zone still <br />exceeded the allowed amount. That proposal was on the agenda for the February Planning <br />Commission meeting. The applicants decided to table that application prior to the meeting to work <br />further with their design to better conform to city code. The applicant ’s have diligently done that. <br />This proposal further reduces the lot coverage by structures and hardcover in the 75-250' setback <br />zone. However, hardcover in the 75-250' setback zone still exceeds the 25% allowed by city code. <br />The proposed plan (Preferred Plan) locates the new residence behind the average lakeshore setback. <br />All the structure is located within the 75-250' setback zone. The structure is 2,565 s.f. (11.7%) <br />which is well below the allowed 15%. <br />m-2740A Jeffry/Nancy Twidwell <br />1865 Concordia Street <br />Variances <br />3/13/2002 <br />Page I <br />itflfTrm*! f-
