Hardcover Calculations; <br />Distance from Total area in Allowed Existing Proposed <br />shoreline setback hardcover hardcover hardcover <br />250-500*14,247 s.f 4,274.1 s.f 3,209.5s.f 3,839.5 s.f <br />(30%)(22.5%) (26.9%) <br />500-1000*7,000 s.f 2,450 s.f 0 s.f 0 s.f <br />(35%)(0%)(0%) <br />Surrounding Properties: <br />Please refer to Exhibit C which shows the location and setback for surrounding prop<‘*^ies. The right <br />of way line is where the front yard setback is measured from. Homes have beer constructed all <br />setback at an average distance of 40-45* frx)m the property line. A line is drawn on Exhibit C to <br />indicate the average distance from Willow Drive South for each home on the east side of the road. <br />The Zoning Code has a provision that states lots in any “R” district, where the average depth of at <br />least two existing front yards or buildings within 150* of the lot and within the same block the <br />required fix)nt yard shall not be less the average depth of existing front yards. Technically, the <br />building would need a variance to encroach closer to the street than those on adjacent properties. <br />It is believed the intent of 10.75, Subdivision 4 (C) is to create a consistent appearance to the <br />neighboihood, and would not allow one house to block the view of the street from another. The <br />proposed two story structure would encroach 18* beyond the average distance of adjacent buildings. <br />Garage Location: <br />A second variance is requested to ^eimit an addition to a detached garage. The addition to the garage <br />would create a building larger than 750 s.f requiring a minimum 15* side yard setback. Based on the <br />size of the existing garage the building is only encroaching into the setback by 1.5*. The intent of the <br />ordinance to require a greater setback of 15* for larger buildings, is to limit massing close to property <br />lines. <br />Statement of Hardship: <br />The applicants have submitted their Statement of Hardship attached at Exhibit O. <br />M2S79 James and Candace Kemna <br />1110 Willow Drive South <br />Variances <br />May IS. 2000 <br />page-3
