This guest <br />apartment is for use by Robin Helgager's mother. She recently retired and is planning on living <br />with Don and Robin. She would like to have approximately 1,000 s.f. of living area. It is <br />important that the living area be as accessible as possible. The addition is designed so that her <br />living area is all on one level, and on the same level as the living area of the existing house. The <br />single stall garage is also on the same level as the floor to accommodate wheelchair accessibility <br />if it should become necessarv in the future. <br />The guest apartment addition will extend into both the 50 foot road setback and the 150 foot lake <br />setback. The distance that the addition extends into the road setback is 32 feet. The addition <br />e,\tends into the lake setback a distance of 24 feet. Extensions into the setback were kept to a <br />minimum as much as possible yet retain the square footage desired. <br />The double stall garage and addition on the east end of the house has been revised since being <br />reviewed and approved by the planning commission and city council in June. The three season <br />porch has been deleted from the addition. It has been incorporated into the guest apartment <br />addition. Also the separate work shop area has been reduced and incorporated into the garage. A <br />small entry area has been added, which includes a half bathroom and a coat hanging area. This <br />area is called the mud room. The e.xtensions into the lake setback has been eliminated for this <br />addition. The east side yard setback encroachment of 25' is the same as before. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Neil Heupel of Gluts, O'Brien, Strother Architects, Inc. <br />The office phone number is 941-4822. <br />Respectfully, <br />CLUTS, O'BRIEN, STROTHER ARCHITECTS <br />Minnesota 55344 Phone: 612/941-4822 # - • <br />• -•
