Summary of Issues This 0.65 acre lot currently contains a one-story, 820 s.f. residence and 240 s.f. detached garage. The entire house is less than the required 100 ’ setback from Long Lake, the closest point being 49’ from the lake. The applicant proposes to purchase the property and construct major additions, including: increase the footprint of the house by 400 s.f. add a second story above the entire house, including a third bedroom. remove the existing detached garage and add an attached 475 s.f. garage. The property is extremely substandard in a number of respects; and the proposal requires many variances: Average depth of the lot from the street to the lake is 110 ’, making it impossible to meet the required 100 ’ lake setback and 50 ’ street setback. This lot has no buildable envelope. The existing house does not meet the required lakeshore or street setbacks, but does meet the required side setback. The proposed house will be even nearer to the road. The existing detached garage is a few inches into the Long Lake Boulevard right-of-way, and less than 20 ’ from the pavement. The proposed attached garage will be only 1’ from the street lot line. The existing septic system is non-conforming, and the property contains only one possible drainfield site that can support a system for a three-bedroom home (this is an area that is proposed for municipal sewer within the next year or two).
