3. Section 10.25, Subd. 6(B); Side Setback: The minimum requirement for side yard setback in the LR-IC zone is 10 feet. Variance Request: To permit a side yard setback of 2.9'-3.4' where 10' is required; replacement of the second story continues the existing substandard side setback of 2.9'-3.4* on the west side of the house. Application Summary: The applicant has applied for variances to permit a 364.5 s.f. addition to the south side of the residence and to remodel the existing residence. The scope of the project involves removing the roof, the street side deck and steps, and the second story. The first story walls and foundation will remain. The addition will replace the outside stairway and provide for an entrance thru the house. The roof line will change, however the height will stay the same. The addition will also aid in diverting runoff further downhill rather than into the house. The remodeling and addition will result in an increase of structural coverage on the lot to 2,433.2 (18.7%), where 2,188.7 s.f. (16.8%) exists and 1,954.5 s.f. (15%) is allowed. The lakeside deck is considered structure because it is more than 6' above grade. NOTE: If the lakeside deck was not considered as suijctural coverage, the proposed house and addition would meet the 15% limit. But, this deck must be included based on the definition in Section 10.03, Subd. 14 (C)(2). (See Exhibit G (2/2). The remodeling and addition will result in a reduction of hardcover coverage in the 75- 250’ to 4,468.7 (48.9%), where 5,061.7 (55.4%) s.f. exists and 2,282.5 s.f. (25%) is allowed. The applicant is proposing to remove streetside deck, steps, walk, railroad ties, and landscape fabric under rock. Replacement of the second story continues the existing substandard side setback of 2.9 ’- 3.4’ on the west side of the house. The house was built prior to current zoning standards. Statement of Hardship; The applicant has included his statement of hardship in Exhibit C. The applicant should also be asked for his testimony regarding this issue. Issues of Concer n; 1. The roof line is changing, however the height of the residence is not changing. 2. The 75-250’ hardcover coverage on the lot is decreasing, but will still greatly exceed the allowed amount. #2564 William Dampier 3550 Ivy Place Variances 3/20/2000 Page 2
