exhibit B <br />SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS <br />RAY AND NYLENE NEWKIRK <br />1489 SHORELINE DRTVE <br />A Lot Width and Area <br />Hardship <br />1. The site cannot be extended to acquire additional lot area to the west due to <br />the Shoreline Drive ri^ht of uay, or to the east due to Lake Minnetonka. <br />2. Due to the present area of the Nevtidrk*s parcel, and the area of the <br />adjacent lots, both 1487 Shoreline Dr. and 1491 Shoreline Dr. would have <br />to be acquired by the Newkirks, the homes demolished, and the lots <br />combined with the Newkirk's lot to create a new single lot that is <br />conforming in area to the LR-1A standard. <br />Unique or Mitigating Conditions <br />1. Tee variance would simply recognizes the existing condition, a single lot <br />created by two platted lots. <br />2. The continued use of the lot for a newly constructed single family would <br />not introduce or create any new impacts or conflicts at this site nor alter the <br />essential character of the area. <br />3. Tne 15% hardcover standard is met by the proposed new home that is the <br />subject of the requested. <br />4. Absent the requested variances to permit rebuilding the home, the 0 to 75 <br />ft coverage will not be reduced by 519 sf and lOO^^o, and the 75 to 250 ft <br />lot coverage will no; be reduced by 2019 sf, and 22 <br />5. Th? existing relationship with the adjacent homes will not be change nor will <br />the essential character of the area be changed. <br />B. Side Yards <br />Hardship <br />1. Additional lot width cannot be purchased from the neighbors as their lots <br />ere also non conforming due to area and any deduction from their lots would <br />increase their non conformity and therefore would not be permitted by the <br />Ci:>. <br />2. Requiring almost half, rather than the assumed 30^/e. of the width of this 132 <br />ft wide lot to be reserved for side yard eliminates the opportunitv' for ivpical <br />or anticipated development of this lake front site. <br />Unique or Mi'Jgating Conditions <br />1. Granting the variance w ould simply maintain the established the existing <br />relationship with the adjacent homes and not alter the essential characterof the <br />area. <br />2. Both neighboring homeowiiers have reviewed the building plan and the <br />requests for v^ances and have no objection to the'ir being granted. <br />3.
