Lot 7 is a comer lot abutting Old Crystal Bay Road and the private road <br />outlet. By definition, the boundary abutting the private road is the front <br />lot line, and the defined lot width at the rear of the defined front yard <br />of Lot 7 is approximately 60' where 200' is required. A variance to lot <br />width is justified based on the configuration of Lot 7, because it has far <br />in excess of 200' of frontage on Old Crystal Bay Road; because the <br />location of septic sites and the stormwater pond still allow for a suitable <br />buildable envelope; and because of the unique shape of the property. <br />Lots 1 and 2 are 'through' lots subject to a conditional use permit requirement <br />for placement of any accessory structures. <br />Lots 4, 5 and 6 have very restrictive building envelopes due to topography, bluff <br />impact zones, and drainfield sites, which in combination leave little flexibility <br />for the location of the homes to be constmeted. Each of these three Lots <br />contains sufficient width, and each is oriented in a manner in relation <br />to the shoreline such that application of the average lakeshore setback ordinance <br />to these Lots will not serve its intended purpose of preserving adjacent Lots' <br />views. Therefore it is appropriate to exempt said three Lots from having to meet <br />'average lakeshore setback’ standards. <br />The property contains approximately 800' of relatively undisturbed, heavily <br />wooded Lake Minnetonka bluff shoreline abutting Maxwell Bay, located across <br />said Bay from Norenberg Park. As one of the relatively few such undisturbed <br />areas left on Lake Minnetonka, this unique natural feature is of such value to <br />the public, especially as viewed from the lake, that special protection measures <br />are warranted in order to preserve such features in as natural a state as possible. <br />All lots have been found ' . ve adequate and suitable soils for on-site septic <br />treatment facilities providiri^, .oth a primary and alternate site for each of the <br />seven lots.
