Curtis stated the applicant is requesting a lake setback variance in order to change a flat roof to a gable roof within the 75-foot setback and an average lakeshore setback variance in order to make cosmetic improvements and structural changes to the home situated entirely lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line. There will be no expansion of the footprint. The existing home on the subject property is situated 54.4 feet from the ordinary high-water level of Lake Minnetonka and entirely lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line on the east side of Bracketts Point. The applicant's proposal involves replacing the existing flat roof of the one-story conservatory with a pitched roof, thus increasing the volume of the encroachment within the lake setback. The roof of the main portion of the home will be modified to add gables on the north and south ends to replace the existing hipped roof. The roof will not increase in overall height or peak height. However, the mass of the new gable within the 75-foot lake setback will be greater than existing. Page 8 of 17 /
