Zoning File #2187 <br />November 14, 1996 <br />Page 2 <br />3. Section 10.56, Subd. 16(C-1) - Required structure setback from Natural Environment Lake <br />is 150’. <br />4. Section 10.20, Subd. 3(G) - Guest Apartment Standards <br />Summary of Request <br />The applicants were granted variances in June, 1996 for side setback, average setback, and lakeshore <br />setback to allow construction of additions to the east side of the existing residence. However, those <br />additions have not been commenced, and applicants' family situation has prompted them to request <br />approval of a CUP for a guest apartment to be used by Robin Helgager's mother. This involves <br />major construction on the west end of the existing house, with a slight scaling down of the additions <br />proposed to the east end. <br />Variances requested to accommodate these additions are as follows: <br />1. Required east side setback = 30'. Proposed east side setback = 5’. <br />2. Street setback required = 50'. Proposed street setback is 18*. <br />3. Required lake setback = 150'. Proposed lake setback = 126'. <br />4. Existing average setback encroachment of approximately 90' will be reduced to <br />approximately 80'. <br />East Side Setback Variance <br />As per the June 1996 approval, applicants propose a 5' east side setback. Resolution No. 3737 <br />included five findings in support of this variance, some of which may no longer have validity if the <br />new plan is approved. Specifically: <br />A finding that "additions of the same magnitude as those proposed (on the east end <br />of the house) could not be located elsewhere on the property without encroaching the <br />50' required street setback or the 150' required lakeshore setback", is still true but the <br />magnitude has now changed. <br />The legal buildable envelope due to required setbacks is still only 1,800 s.f. <br />'^:ie additions now proposed are generally to the west and southwest of the house, <br />with the intent of maintaining the flat back yard area south of the house. It is still <br />true that the close proximity of County Road 6 makes it appropriate to retain a usable <br />yard on the south side of the house.
