Requested Information for Amendment to the Lake Minnetonka Big Island Veterans' Camp's 1997 General Land Use Permit. It is a goal of the Board of Governors of the Big Island Veterans's Camp to establish a Camp Office, that is more handicapped accessible for Camp visitors, campers, and potential future Camp employees. To accomplish this goal, we request to move an existing 16 foot wide by 16 foot long storage shed, which is presently in the 75'-250' setback zone, please note the indicated building's present location on the attached Schoell and Madson Inc. survey map, and to then upgrade the structure to serve as a Camp Office. The proposed new site and preliminary construction plan information are enclosed. The existing docks area represents the primary point of entrance to the Big Island Veterans' Camp. Near this area would logically serve as the ideal site to establish a Camp Office, that would enable us to welcome and provide Camp information to campers and visitors. The proposed Camp Office site is indicated on the attached survey map. You will note that the proposed Camp Office site is located in the 75'-250' setback zone. The proposed Camp Office site is approximately 140 feet beyond the established Lake Minnetonka "Ordinary High Water Level" (OHWL) of 929 .4 feet. Also, the proposed site represents (benchmark 950.00) the average highest elevation point on Big Island. It is very desirable to have the Camp Office, which is the primary service provider structure, located on the same relatively consistent plane as most of the Island. This would enable us to provide the handicapped with transportation routes which could be traveled the most easily. The attached preliminary construction plans outline the proposed remodeling of the existing 16' by 16' building to then be used as a Camp Office. The structure's entrance would be expanded to a width of 36" to address accessibility needs. Basically, the plan indicates that a 8' by 16' screened porch would be added to the front of the structure. Also a 8' by 24' deck would be added to the structure. No water service is planned for the structure. Electricity is proposed for the Camp Office structure. Pay phone service at the Camp Office is proposed for the campers and visitors needs. This feature is presently a requirement for the Camp. The existing 16' by 16' structure is in very sound condition. The floor joists are 2" by 6" located on 24" centers. The 2" x 4" wall studs and ceiling joists are located of 24" centers. The hip roof is on an estimated pitch of a 3' rise to a 8' run. See attached photo of a similar structure. The existing structure has a very sound pine or fir (1" x 4" flooring) wooden floor. Windows would need to be added. The structure, and porch and deck, would be build on a foundation consisting 10" X 4' concrete pilings on 24" X 6" concrete pads, loci!ted 4' below the ground surface. The 16 pilings would be located at 8' intervals. The 6" x 6" treated wooden beams would be i6cated on the pilings to carry the weight. All 2" X 6" floor joists would be 24" on center. .
