»2564 - 3550 Ivy Place <br />June 15, 2000 <br />Page 2 <br />3. Section 10.25, Subd. 6(B): Side Setback: The minimum requirement for side yard <br />setback in the LR-IC zone is 10 feet. Variance Request: To permit a side yard setback of <br />2.9'“3.4' where 10' is required; replacement of the second story continues the existing <br />substandard side setback of 2.9'-3.4' on the west side of the house. <br />Granting of the hardcover and setback variances will permit a 364.5 s.f addition to the south side <br />of the residence and remodeling of the existing residence. The scope of the project involves <br />removing the roof, the street side deck and steps, and the second story. The first story walls and <br />foundation will remain. The addition will replace the outside stairway and provide for an entrance <br />thru the house. The roof line will change, however the height will stay the same. The addition will <br />also aid in diverting runoff further downhill rather than into the house. <br />The remodeling and addition will result in a reduction of hardcover coverage in the 75-250' <br />to 4,468.7 s.f. (48.9%), where 5,061.7 (55.4%) s.f. exists and 2,282.5 s.f. (25%) is allowed. <br />The applicant is proposing to remove streetside deck, steps, walk, railroad ties, and landscape <br />fabric under rock. <br />Replacement of the second story continues the existing substandard side setback of 2.9'-3.4' <br />on the west side of the house. The house was built prior to current zoning standards. <br />Statement of Hardship: <br />The applicant has included his statement of hardship in Exhibit C of the March 20* memo. <br />Additional Discussion <br />1. The roof line is changing, however the height of the residence is not changing, and no height <br />variance is needed. The foundation and first story walls will remain as existing. <br />2. While the 75-250' hardcover on the property exceeds the City standards, hardcover on the lot is <br />decreasing, and the lot is small compared to the LR-1C zoning district standard. The existing house, <br />addition and deck are all outside the 0-75' zone. <br />3. The addition is adding mass to the residence, but to the street side rather than the lake side. There <br />is no average lakeshore setback encroachment, and no lot coverage variance is required.
