have restricted any gamgo construction to the area where the existing garage stands. One outdoor parking space is currently located north of the existing garage. This space is partially off the property into the right of way. The space may also encroach slightly onto an adjacent property. The outdoor space would be eliminated if a new two stalled structure is built. The building would be a two level building with the lowest level access being located towards the house below the hillside. The purpose of the lowest level is to provide indoor storage on the propeny. A small shed would be required to be removed to accommodate a larger building resulting in a loss of storage on the property. Hardcover: The property would not e.xcced the allowed hardcover in the 75-250* lakeshore setback. The tt lal hardcover would be appro.ximalely 1,850 s.f. (21®o). Existing Total Hardcover 75-250 ’ setback " 1,699 s.f. (20%) Setbacks: The 5 ’ proposed front yard setback would allow for off street parking in the driveway. Long Lake Boulevard is a narrow street that docs not provide on street parking. The code requires a 30' setback for garages when the doors face the property line. The building is required to have a 10’ setback to property lines when no access is required. Long Lake Boulevard is not a through street and does not carry hea\y traffic, mostly local traffic. There is no proposed change to the access to the property. The 5 ’ side yard setback would allow another building on the adjacent properly to be located 5 ’ from the lot line and maintain a 10’ building separation as required by the State Uuildtng/Fire Codes. Review of Hardship: 1.The site topography restricts a garage to only the northeast comer of the property. The properties along Long Lake Boulevard slope to home building sites, 'fhe garages must be located at the lop of the hill to avoid unsafe drivev\ay access to the properties This particular lot is unique by the fact the only high point is to one side. The northwest comer of the property slopes ofTmuch closer to the road not leaving adequate room for a building. A well is located between the house and garage. State Code requites a building, or any portion of a building, to be located no closer than 3 ’ to a well. A minimum two stall garage would fit into the hillside without •equiring the well to be relocated. A building below the hill would have driveway slopes up to 15% which is for greater than what the City suggests for safe access. The garage entrance would only be about 1* lower than Long Lake Boulevard. The lower level storage area w*ould minimize the need for additional storage buildings on the propert)’. «2649C; tftci Lccll«> 152S Long Lake Boutetard Vana.'!^ PifcZ
