Zoning File #1258 March 15, 1988 Page 3 of 4 Conditional Use Permit - Applicants are requesting a conditional use permit for the following: A. Work within 75' of lakeshore setback area. This work consists of the exterior stairway on the west end of the building. Again, we met with applicants' architect on this matter and there are alternatives to the proposed work within 75' of the lakeshore. B. Fill within 75' of lakeshore. The proposed stairway structure encroaching the setback and the addition right on the 75' setback line will require a minimal. amount of fill to slope drainage away from structure. C. Excavation within the 931.5 f looc plain elevation. Applicants are requesting to build an addition which is located at the 931.5 elevation. Since the flood elevation for Lake Minnetonka is maintained at 929.4, the addition will not increase the height or duration of the floodway. The property has a gradual slope toward the lake which will not be affected by the addition as an obstruction which will restrict the passage of water. The addition shows a full 8' crawl space (see Exhibits & `H ) which will put the floor level at 927.5. Since this is not allowed to be habitable space and is 2' below the designated lake level the crawl space area would have to be rniEed up to the 931 5 elevatien. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resour--(- has reviewed the proposal (see Exhibit J). They will not require an application of permits.
