Since this is new construction, variances are required for lot area and width. Reouired Setbacks The proposed home is localed I02’ from die OHW of Like Minnetonka, meeting the required ^ setback. It is also located 35 from the street, meeting the minimum 30 ’ setback requirement. The proposed side setbacks also exceed the 10 ’ minimum requirement- The architect for the applicants has stated that the overhangs on the proposed home will not encroach more than 1 %’ into the side >ards. Average Lakeshore Setback Considering that the two properties are proposed to be combined, the average lakeshore setback IS determined by the locauon of the existing houses at 1270 and 1300 Spruce Place. The average lakeshore setback line is located closer to the lake than the 75’ setback from the OHWL Since the propo^ structure is located more than 75’ from the OHWL, it does not encroach into the average lakeshore setback. *03-:83S Cerda and Ed Toih 4'1 7/2003 Page 2 of 6
