The deck is located behind the 75' <br />lakeshore setback. The actual distance from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) of Lake <br />Minnetonka to the deck is 86'. The deck is 12' by 16' and is located frirther back on the lot than the <br />neighboring house to the east. The neighboring house to the west is located frirther back from the <br />lake, but would not be impacted due to the applicant's home screening the deck from that property. <br />A large addition to the home was constructed in 1989. Approval was subject to previous property <br />owners removing a gravel parking area on the property and reducing the size of the driveway. As <br />of the date of the most recent survey, and site inspections on February 25,1999 and April 6,1999, <br />it has been determined the hardcover has not been removed. Staff could support retaining the <br />existing driveway for maintenance and public safety and allowing the gravel parking area to remain. <br />The applicant's have stated the gravel parking area is used for snow storage by the City. <br />Additional hardcover on the lot includes areas of rock. No plastic or fabric is under the rock <br />preventing water from infiltrating into the ground. The applicants have stated they have removed <br />much of the hardcover, but the rock located in the area around the driveway is to prevent erosion as <br />the lot is sloped and much of the drainage in the locality is over their property. The rock on the <br />lakeside of the home (all outside of the 75' setback) is located in an area that does not receive any <br />sunlighi, preventing grass from growing in that area.
