The Butler residence was expanded and remodeled from <br /> an existing small cabin after receipt of zoning variances <br /> issued in 1976 and again in 1978 (file nos. 194 and 382) . <br /> 2. Original vehicle parking was provided on the right-of- <br /> way of North Shore Drive (Ctv. Rd. 19) with only an <br /> intermittently used trail down the steep hill to the cabin. <br /> 3. Upon remodeling of the home, an attached garage was <br /> built and a driveway (western driveway) was paved dowm the <br /> hill to the house. No permit was issued for that work by <br /> Hennepin County. <br /> 4. Sometime after i.nitial driveway construction, a second <br /> (eastern) access was built in an attempt to provide easier <br /> driving up the hill_ Again, no County permit was issued. <br /> 5. On August 18, 1377 , Hennepin County wrote a letter to <br /> Mr. Butler noting the driveway work and asking for a permit <br /> application to be made. Concerns noted were the grade on <br /> the driveway, parking within the County right-of-way and the <br /> number of driveways for a limited amount of frontage_ <br /> 6. On January 18, 1980, Mr. Butler made a conditional use <br /> application to the City to build a third entry driveway to <br /> his residence, this one along a platted undeveloped alley <br /> running down the hill to Rest Point Road. The conditional <br /> use permit is required for grading by Section 31. 705. The <br /> stated purpose of t�e driveway would be to allow all-weather <br /> vehicle access to the attached garage by one-way travel down <br /> the hill from County Road 19 to the garage and thence down <br /> hill to Rest Point Raad. <br /> PAG E__„�O F `3 <br />
