The addition is continuation of an ongoing remodeling project, “Phase III”. The <br />proposed addition will be approximately 1500 s.f. and over the east portion of the existing residence <br />In 1996 variances for lakeshore setback, average lakeshore setback and hardcover were granted for “Phase <br />II” of the remodeling project. This portion of the project consisted of additions to the existing residence <br />including a room expansion on the south side of the house in the 75-250' zone and a second story addition <br />above the central portion of the house in the 75-250' zone. Additionally, the entire house and addition got <br />a new '2:12 pitch roof system replacing the existing low 3:12 pitch roof. <br />A portion of the existing house (approximately 30 s.f.) to have the second story addition is located . <br />in the 0-75' setback zone. Further, the entire house is located lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line <br />as drawn between the two adjacent residences. The house sits on a point of the lakeshore. (Exhibit D). <br />Hardcover in the 75-250' zone is 29.0%, and no hardcover changes are proposed. Note Orono policy states <br />that a second story may be added outside the 0-75 ’ zone when the foot print of the building is not increasing <br />regardless of hard cover excesses, therefore a variance for hardcover in this area is not necessary. <br />The adjacent residence to the southeast is on somewhat higher ground, and may currently enjoy minimal <br />views over the existing residence, which may be reduced by the second story addition. However, the main <br />views of the lake for that house are to the east and not affected. Existing vegetation will also act to limit <br />neighbors ’ views hence it is unlikely that average lakeshore setback is a significant issue for this property. <br />No neighbors have indicated a problem to staff as of this writing. <br />Lot coverage by structures currently is approximately 8.8%, will remain the same and well within the 15% <br />limitation. <br />1. Section 10.22, Subd. 1(A): Lakeshore SctbackRegulations: No principal building shall be locatedcloser <br />than 75 feei to the natural ordinary high water mark of a lake abutting the property. To permit construction <br />of a second story addition where a portion of the e.xisting residence is located within 75' of the ordinary high <br />water mark of Lake Minnetonka. <br />2. Section 10.22, Subd. I (B) and Section 10.56, Subd. 16 (CK6): Average Lakeshore: The average <br />lakeshore setback line shall be a straight line connecting the most lakeward protrusions of the residence <br />buildings on the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots. To permit a variance to encroach 70' into the average <br />lakeshore setback.
