dimcutt to propose a home uhich met this setback. The proposed house is located 10’ from the rear lot line where 30' is required. If the required setbacks from the OIIWL and rear lot line arc followed, the setbacks overlap, providing no legal building envelope. With the proposed 10’ rear setback, there is only room for a driveway of appro.ximately 10' in length off of Cr>'stal Bay Road. With this length. \ chicles w ill not fully fit on the driveway on the lot and may end up jutting into Cr>stal Day Road traveled right of way. Given this information, staff would recommend that a driveway of at least an additional 5' in length be provided from Cr>*stal Bay Road, moving the house 5* closer to the rear lot line rather than the 10’ proposed and the 30’ required. The footprint of the home w ould also be 48’ from the 011WL of the lake (same as e.xisting home) and lessen the encroachment into the average lakeshore setback with a S’ setback from the rear lot line. The rear lot line abuts Dakota Rail right of way which is not currently in use for rail but is proposed to be a future regional trail. To the rear of the property, the right of way is flat then changes significantly in grade. Since the existing house is located on the rear lot line and does not appear to have a negative impact on the abutting property, a 5’ setback would seem reasonable in order for the lot to accommodate a properly sized driveway. The alternate would be *o reduce the length of the house by 5’ to retain a 10’ rear setback. Rear setback approvals for structures i.i the neighborhood have varied from 7.6* to 19’. Averace Lakeshore Setback 'The proposed house encroaches 16’ into the average lakeshore setback whereas the existing house encroaches 11 ’ into the average lakeshore setback. With a decreased setback from the rear lot line of 5’. the encroachment into the average lakeshore setba k would not change from where it exists today. The property to the west (3335 Crystal Bay Rood) has a rear lot line that extends into the Dakota Rail right of way, beyond that of the applicant’s property. In 1996, the ow ners of 3335 Cry stal B.;y Road combined a small portion of Dakota Rail property with their lot. Tlic property to the east (3325 Cry stal Bay Road) is approximately the same size as the lot in question. The views from either adjacent property will not be obstructed by a home in the proposed location All properties face directly onto the lake. Hei&bl The proposed elevations of a new structure on the property are taken Irom a previous application by Ace Properties (Zoning File U 2730) on 3375 Cry stal Bay Road for new construction. The elevations are the same although the footprint has been reduced to fit on the lot. As mentioned previously, the owner does not necessarily wish to build this particular home but wants to be able to show potential buy ers that something can be built. The home that was built based on these plans was constructed on a lot with changes in grade *0)-28 ’6 S€\it L Lanmng 3 13/2003 Page 3 of!
