<br /> <br /> <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Requested Variance <br />The proposed placement of the principal building an d accessory building have been designed to <br />achieve all setback requirements, including wetland and OHWL, as required by the LR-1A zoning <br />district. However, per Sec. 78-1279 – Placement of buildings and structure s on lots this lot also <br />requires an average lakeshore setback. As defined i n the code, the average lakeshore setback line <br />shall be a straight line connecting the most lakewa rd protrusions of the principal buildings on the <br />immediately adjacent lake shore lots. <br /> <br />The 3400 Fox Street site is a peninsula / corner lo t condition, being set at an approximate right angl e <br />to the two adjacent lots, as indicated in the image (take from the Hennepin County GIS map, property <br />outlined in blue) below: <br /> <br />The required straight line setback bisects the lot near the existing driveway entry point into the <br />property and creates an unbuildable lot condition (please refer to the landscape plans and survey for <br />location of this straight line setback location.) <br /> <br />Our team is requesting a variance to this straight line setback requirement, and instead asking for a <br />setback as defined below for the principal and deta ched accessory structures: <br />· 30’-0” interior side setback to the east <br />· 30’-0” interior side setback to the north <br />· Northerly line of the 150’-0” view easement corrido r to the south <br />· 75’-0” OHWL setback to the west <br />These setbacks would place the new principal struct ure in the general vicinity of the existing and non - <br />conforming structure. <br />171
