Applicants request a variance from the applicable 10-foot side yard setback requirement to enable them to maintain a pool equipment shed which encroaches slightly upon the property owned by their neighbors, the Dunsheath family. When Applicants purchased the Property, the Dunsheaths advised them that a refuse container structure owned and used by the Dunsheaths encroached slightly upon Applicants' Property and requested permission of Applicants to maintain that structure. Applicants gave their consent. Applicants later constructed the subject pool equipment shed on Applicants' side of that structure. When a survey of Applicants' Property was later prepared. Applicants' discovered the true location of the Property boundaries. Their neighbors had been in error; the garbage container structure was completely on the Dunsheaths' property, and the pool equipment structure that Applicants had constructed encroached slightly upon their neighbor's land. Applicants request a variance from the 75—foot setback requirement to permit Applicants to maintain a swimming pool constructed by Applicants earlier this summer. Prior to the construction of the subject^swimming pool. Applicants were unaware of the 75-foot set-back requirement from the shores of Lake Minnetonka. Some years ago, a portion of Applicants' Property was dredged to create an inlet from Lake Minnetonka. This has resulted in the rear yard portion of Applicants’ Property being reduced in size. The pool constructed on the Property is situated on a bluff in the rear yard area, and is not visible from the lake. There is no portion of Applicants' Property more than 75 feet from the shores of Lake Minnetonka upon which a pool could have been constructed. Applicants are willing to provide such landscaping as may be required by the City to provide additional screening of the pool area. Applicants request a variance from the applicable hardcover requirements. Applicants desire to construct decking around the existing pool area in accordance with the plans attached to this Application. Because of the size of Applicants' lot, any such decking within the rear yard area would fall within the zero hard cover area. - 2 - ■ • mm mm ■ ^mm/.:1; T - : ■f. .. 4.
