The location of applicants existing house poses a <br /> problem in locating a suitable deck. <br /> 8. Applicant has stated that he has removed 150-200 square <br /> • feet of existing hardcover walkways in the 0-75' setback <br /> zone. <br /> 9. The front line of the proposed deck does not extend <br /> beyond the front line of the home to the south. <br /> 10. Sand is to be placed under the surface of the deck as <br /> was done in the Krutzig application (Resolution No. 1726) to <br /> prevent encroachment of hardcover into the 0-75' setback <br /> zone, hence no hardcover variance is required. <br /> 11. The deck is low to the ground and will not be <br /> noticeable from the lake. <br /> • 12. A deck on either side of the house does not appear to <br /> b,e practical because of limited space. <br /> � • 13. The steep grade of lake starting at about 30' setback <br /> and the average setback of the houses in the area which <br /> appears to be �50-60' rather than the required 75' suggests <br /> that the natural non-encroachment area is less than 75'. <br /> 14. The 15' elevation� and steep slope would give a true � <br /> oderland run-off distance of 75' from the lake at about a <br /> 70' horizontal distance. <br /> 15. The variance wi 11 not modify the character of the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> 16. The proposed deck still meets the Minnesota Department <br /> of Natural Resources 50 ' minimum setback for General <br /> Development lakes such as Lake Minnetonka. <br /> 17. The City Council has considered this application <br /> including the findings and recommendations of -the Planning <br /> Commissiom, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant <br /> and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, <br /> safety and. welfare of the community.
