Metzler [mailto:jmetzler@salaarc.com] <br /> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 11:03 AM <br /> To: Melanie Curtis <br /> Subject: Re: 2691 Casco Point Road <br /> Hi Melanie, <br /> I've completed a zoning review for 2691 Casco Point Road and have the following questions: <br /> 1. 78-1680 doesn't seem to allow boathouses or decks within 75' of OHWL. Correct. Yet the <br /> definition of a water-oriented accessory structure includes boathouses, gazebos and detached decks. <br /> Is there something I'm missing or are these not allowed? only those listed in code sections �8-128� & <br /> 78-1282 are permitted within 75'of the OHWL. <br /> 2. How do I find the regulatory floodplain elevation referred to in 78-1280? RPFE Section 78-lili <br /> - 931.5'is the 100-year flood elevation for Lake Minnetonka. The RFPE is 932.5', lowest floor. The <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has a 933.5'lowest opening provision. <br /> 3. It appears that this lot is smaller and narrower than allowable. Does this result in any <br /> limitations on what we can do when remodeling? Interior remodeling? No. <br /> 4. It appears that the house is .9' closer to OHWL and garage is .8' closer to side yard setback <br /> than allowed. Do I understand correctly that additions are allowed as long as the new construction <br /> meets all setback and height requirements? Expansions of the home's volume, height and/or footprint in <br /> areas of non-confoming setbacks are not permitted. <br /> 5. The average lakeshore setback is measured from the "shoreline". Is "shoreline" the same as <br /> ordinary high water? Yes. <br /> The survey and zoning review are attached. Thanks for any clarification you can provide. <br /> Joe Metzler <br /> 3 <br />
