2. The previous proposal indicated a 30 foot setback to the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. Some members of the Planning Commission were concerned about the distance from the lake. Reducing the total lot coverage to 15% has removed a portion of the house on the lakeside. The proposed setback is now 34 feet from the OHWL. Please refer to the enclosed site plan, revised 2/1/00 attached as Exhibit A. As the survey shows there is a small break in the shoreline directly in front of the proposed residence. The house would be located further from the lake if the shoreline where consistent across the full width of the property. The City of Orono owns and maintains a lift station on the property. The property ovmers have located the house to create the greatest distance possible on the lot from the lift station. Many other primary residences along Rest Point Road are located at a distance comparable to the 34 foot setback proposed. The house to the north was approved two years ago to be replaced 32 feet from the lakeshore, and the house to the south, across Rest Point Road is located at a 35 foot setback from the lakeshore. Lot History: The previous property owner of the vacant parcel had requested variances to permit new construction which included lakeshore setback, lot area, lot width, hardcover and structure the application was reviewed by the Planning Commission in January, 1998 and recommended for denial based on the size of the lot and lack of a sewer stub. The application was withdrawn by the applicant and was not reviewed by the City Council. *This was only for the vacant parcel not the developed parcel. This application requires the following variances: 1. Section 10.22, Subdivision 1 (A) and (B) to permit structure within 75 ’ of the lakeshore. The applicants have proposed to construct a new residence 34' from the lakeshore where 75' is required. 2. Section 10.55, Subdivision 8 to permit structure and hardcover within 75' of the lakeshore. 3. Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 and Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L) (1) to permit 2,129 s.f. (22.4%) hardcover in the 0-75' lakeshore setback where 1,546 s.f. (13.6%) exists and no hardcover is allowed. The previous proposal was to permit 2,406 s.f of hardcover in the 0- 75 ’ lakeshore setback. 4. Section 10.24, Subdivision 5 (B) to permit a new residence to be constructed within the 35’ street setback. The proposed residence encroaches 13.67’ into the setback. To permit a new residence to be constructed on a lot less than 1 acre in size in the LR-1B zoning district. The proposed setback from the front property line has not changed, and to permit new construction on a lot less than one acre in the LR-IB zoning district.
