t XXXXI July 3, 1985 Ms. Jean Mabusth City of Orono P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 RE: Gregory Residence 1410 Shoreline Drive; Wayzata, MN City File: 927 Dear Ms. Mabusth: On behalf of the applicant, Mr. 6 Mrs. William Gregory, we ate submitting the following request for consideration by the City Planning Commission and Council. For reasons that will be fully explained later in this letter, three (3) variances are proposed to accommodate construction of a 21' x 32' pool adjacent to a future greenhouse and the existing house. These variance requests are: 1. Lakeshore Setback The proposed pool is setback 53 to 59 feet from the lakeshore. This average 56 foot setback represents a variance of 19 feet from the required 75 foot setback. 2. Lakeshore Rardcover A total of 100 square feet (85 square feet pool coping; 15 square feet hard surface deck) of hardcover is proposed within the 0-75 foot setback. This represents a 0.155% increase (see attached calculations) over the allowed coverage of 0.0%. 3. Accessory Structure Setback The pool, an accessory structure, is proposed to setback 5'-4" from the future greenhouse and principal structure. This is a 4'-8" variance from the required 10 foot setback. This variance is required only for a 16 foot wide area where the pool is adjacent to the greenhouse. The site topography has offered severe limitations to the overall site planning process. The steep slopes, soils, ground form and vegetation in addition to zoning code setbaeks, have contributed to restrictions on locating the buildings, entry eourt, driveway, pool and septic system. The present building locations on the top of the slopes was found to provide the best site utilization by minimizing potential negative site impact. The proposed pool re -location is a result of these restrictions. Various site locations have been explored. F41S WA►ZATA 0OULIVAAO. UMN[AIOUi. 101NN1l0IA 66420 iAtll $MO•M
