The existing structure is very <br />marginal, structurally, mechanically, and spatially as it relates to present day standards on the <br />lake and relative to the Owner ’s desires. Removal of the existing structure and replacing it in <br />virtually the same size and position is the basis of the Owner ’s request for all the variances <br />necessary. This need for variance is due solely to the existing non-conforming conditions and <br />not due to the Owner ’s actions. <br />The average lakeshore request is to be able to build the proposed structure in the same location <br />as the present structure relative to the setback from the lake. Due to the adjacent <br />structure/straight line approach to the lakeside setback, this request is for a lakeside setback <br />variance of 80 feet forward of the straight line setback created by the closest to the lake structure <br />projections of the two adjacent lakeshore homes, but no further fonA^ard than the exIstIng/heated <br />home’s enclosed area. <br />The hardcover request is to exceed the maximum hardcover permitted for new construction, <br />however the total proposed hardcover is less than the existing total hardcover. <br />HARDSHIP DESCRIPTION OF UNUSUAL PROPERTY CONDITIONS: <br />Site <br />The site is over 356 feet deep from the Minnetonka lakeshore to North shore Drive. However, <br />the site is very narrow and the lagoon cuts into the site area. The only location available for a <br />structure Is where the existing structure is located. Since the existing structure is allowed to <br />remain as-is. the proposed building is only in the same location. The existing home to be <br />removed is very foerward of the line of site average lakeshore setback due to 3135 being <br />setback so far due to the lagoon. This is due to an irregular lakeshore line created by the <br />lagoon. <br />Reasonable use <br />In order to put the site to reasonable use, any new home design will occupy the same location <br />as the existing home requiring all the necessary variances per current ordinances. <br />(Please see drawings attached) <br />1
