AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: NAN Reviewed By: LLO Approved By: 1. Purpose. This application is regarding variances from lot size, lot width, hardcover and rear yard setback for the construction of a new home. 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received July 17, 2023 and considered to be complete on July 31, 2023. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on September 29, 2023. 3. Background/ Summary. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing home and construct a new home on the lot. The subject property is substandard in size and width for the LR-1B Zoning District and is currently nonconforming as it relates to average lakeshore setback, 75-foot lake setback, rear yard setback and hardcover. The applicant is proposing to construct the new home farther from the lake and therefore will bring it into conformance as it relates to the average lakeshore setback and 75-foot lake setback. The proposed home will require a rear hard setback to maintain a setback of 28.1 feet where 30 feet is required. The project will also reduce hardcover from 28% to 27.2%, which is still over the maximum of 25%. The applicant is requesting variances from lot size, lot width, rear yard setback and hardcover. The practical difficulties listed by the applicant include the substandard lot size and width and existing conditions of the site. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On August 21, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing. The Commission reviewed the application and noted the site constraints of the lot and that the new home will be in compliance with lake setbacks and that the property will have a reduction in hardcover. The Commission voted 5 to 0 on a motion to approve the requested variances as applied. 5. Public Comment. The applicant has provided neighbor acknowledgment forms. A neighbor voiced support of the project at the public hearing and brought up construction timing concerns. The applicant stated that there will be communication with the neighbors regarding construction and trucks. No other public comment has been received. 6. Staff Recommendation.
