The existing building is 3.5' <br />off the front property line and 2’ from the side lot line. Construction of a garage would require the <br />building to be located along the front property line due to the property beginning to slope towards <br />the lake. <br />Discussion: <br />The topography of the lot requires a garage to be constructed near the front property line. Long Lake <br />Boulevard is located approximately 10' above the ground elevation of the house. If a garage were <br />located attached or near the house a driveway with slopes at or near 15% would be required along <br />with extensive grading and installation of a retaining wall system. Normally the City suggests <br />driveway slopes not e.xcecd 8*10% depending on the individual lot Only the northeast comer <br />(w here the e.xisting garage is located) of the property is located above the hill. The existing garage <br />is located only 1' below Long Lake Boulevard. <br />Another factor in determining the garage location is the well. State Building Code requires <br />structures, or any part of the structure, to be located 3’ from a well. The well and slope of the land <br />*2S49Ch«1ciLc«Ucy <br />152) Loag LiSc <br />Vmance* <br />Pa|«l
