HARD SHIP REASONS TO GRANT DECK <br />VARIANCE <br />. THE BUILDING PAD HAS LIMITED SPACE FOR RECREATIONAL <br />DECK ON WEST SIDE OF HOUSE. EAST SIDE OF HOUSE IS <br />DAUGHTER’S BED ROOM. <br />» THE EXISTING HOUSE FLOOR PLAN MAKES THE LOCATION OF <br />THE REQUESTED DECK THE LOGICAL PLACE. I.E. FROM THE <br />KITCHEN TO THE FAMILY ROOM. ALSO, THIS GROUND AREA <br />CURRENTLY USED FOR ENTERTAINING IS SLANTED, DIFFICULT <br />TO GET AROUND ON AND CONDUCIVE TO TURNING ANKLES. <br />» SET BACK IS ALREADY ENCROACHED ON BY THE EXISTING <br />BUILDING. ORIGINAL IDEA / PLAN ALWAYS CALLED FOR A <br />DECK OFF OF THE FAMILY ROOM AND KITCHEN. <br />. THE SIDE STREET SET BACK (35’) IS GREATER THAN A <br />REGULAR SIDE YARD SET BACK (10’). <br />• LYDIARD AVE. WHEN BUILT, WAS OFF SET TO PRESERVE <br />LARGE MAPLE TREES ON EAST SIDE OF STREET. THUS GIVING <br />THE APPEARANCE OF VERY LARGE SIDE YARD. WITH THIS <br />DECK THERE WILL STILL BE PLENTY OF SPACE / LAWN WEST <br />OF THE HOUSE. THESE ARE THE VERY SAME MAPLE TREES <br />THAT PROVIDE SHADE FOR PROPOSED DECK. <br />• OTHER EXISTING HOUSES ALONG LYDIARD AVE. ARE MUCH <br />CLOSER TO THE STREET THAN PROPOSED DECK. <br />• PROPERTY OWNER HAS HANDICAP THAT MAKES GETTING <br />AROUND ON THE GROUND VERY DIFFICULT AND THUS <br />UNABLE TO ENJOY THE GREAT OUTDOORS AS MUCH AS <br />POSSIBLE. <br />• PROPOSED DECK WOULD ALLOW ENJOYABLE VIEW OF LAKE <br />MINNETONKA. <br />SET BACK VARIANCE APPLICATION FOR 2700 KELLY AVE. <br />LOT 8.
