N Department Approval: Name: Wendy Bottenberg Title: Zoning Administrator Item Description: #02-2841 David and Jermifer Dickey 4425 North Shore Drive Variance Exhibits: A Resolution B StafTReport and exhibits of 10/21/02 Pertinent Code Sections: 1. Section 10.22, Subd. 2: Hardcover in 75-250’: Within 75-250' of the lakeshore there shall be no greater than 25% hardcover. Variance Request: To permit 4,965.4 s.f. (33.0%) hardcover where 3,706.5 s.f (25%) is allowed. .‘.pplication Summary: The applicant has recently acquired the subject property and is proposing to make improvements to it. 1 he applicant has requested a hardcover in 75-250' setback zone variance to permit construction of an attached garage and foyer to the existing residence. The garage and foyer addition consists of a three stall garage and foyer totaling 1,293 s.f. The proposed garage and foyer addition *s on the north side of the existing residence. The existing tuck under garage will be turned into living space. The existing residence and other items located in the 75-250’ setback zone comprise 4,565.4 s.f. (30.8?'b) hardcover. The garage and foyer addition increases the hardcover to 4,965.4 s.f. (33.0%). A portion of the propo.sed garage will be over existing driveway. The residence was built in 1971 in its present location. There have not been any improvements to the property according to city records. There was an accessory building on the property that was in disrepair and the present uwner demolished it in March 2002. A gazebo t>|>e structure still exists at the south end of the lot near the lakeshore. The property is located on the west side of the channel going to Forest Lake. It has water on tw o sides limiting the buildable area of the property. Because of this uniqueness, almost 80% of the property lies within 75’ of the lakeshore. This is similar to the Pheasant Road property w hich was granted hardcover variances earlier this year, partly based on the fact that the runoff from the residence and driveway has a significant area of 0-75’ to filter through as compared to the typical lakeshore lot; in this case it is spread over a 0-75’ zone that is 150’+ in width. The subject property shares a driveway with the adjacent neighbor to the west. There is a turnaround enabling the property owner to exit the property to drive out onto North Shore Drive rather than backing out.
