c. <br />Subdivision 3 and the proposed variances to Section 10.30, Subdivision 9 (C). <br />based on the following findings and hardships: <br />a. Total area of the property equals 33 acres with 24 acres of dry buildable <br />land. Based on 2-acre dry contiguous minimum area for a residential unit <br />with the zoning district, the property at 24 acres of dry buildable well <br />exceeds the area requirement for four residential units (principal strucmre, <br />guest house and two caretaker units). <br />b. In an earlier variance review involving the property, the issue of oversized <br />accessory structures was addressed and appropriate covenants were filed <br />against the Chain of Title of the property for the three non-habitable <br />oversized accessory structures (1,414 s.f. detached garage, 2,604 s.f. <br />greenhouse, 1,081 s.f. detached garage). <br />The current accessory structure ordinance does not provide standards for <br />an estate use. The use is unique and requires special consideration. <br />The caretaker house will be installed on a former 2.7 acre parcel that <br />could be divided from homestead property meeting all current zoning <br />Standards. <br />Tlie new residence meets the required 100’ structural setback from <br />Tanager Lake, a recreational development lake. The existing structure is <br />located 50’ from the shoreline. <br />Hardcover within the 75-250’ setback area exists at 6,090 s.f. or 2.72% <br />and is proposed at 5,619 s.l. or 2.52%. <br />The removal of the existing caretaker house and the ccmstruction of the <br />new at 1,088 s.f. results in a total reduction of accessory structure area <br />of 349.8 s.f or 5.8%. <br />The Council finds that the conditions existing on this property arc peculiar to it <br />and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district ; that granting <br />the Variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a <br />d. <br />e. <br />f. <br />8- <br />Page 2 of 5
