Box 135 <br /> Minnetonka Beach, MN 55361 <br /> Re: Building Permit/Variance Request <br /> Dear Mr. Anderson: <br /> Thank you for your attention to starting the process for <br /> obtaining building permits for the existing deck (after-the-fact) <br /> and additional work you propose. <br /> Lyle and I visited the site on March 30th and scrutinized <br /> your hardcover, enabling me to draw the attached hardcover map. <br /> Your property is definitely in excess of the hardcover allowance, <br /> and, as we had previously discussed, a hardcover variance for the <br /> existing deck and proposed additional work appears necessary. <br /> In your letter, you suggest that you will be "reworking" <br /> various portions of the property to help the drainage problem. I <br /> would note that many of the areas you propose to rework are <br /> currently hardcovered by virtue of containing rock or gravel over <br /> plastic sheeting. It is likely that any Planning Commission <br /> recommendation for approval of the existing deck and proposed <br /> screen porch and sun room, would be in exchange for some serious <br /> removals of existing hardcover to reduce your overall percentage. <br /> You mention that erosion is a prime concern because of so <br /> much water f Iowing past your house. This severe runoff is only <br /> made worse by all the existing hard surface on the property, <br /> which decreases the area where runoff can soak into the ground. <br /> A reduction of hard surface coupled with some terracing and site <br /> regrading, could alleviate many of the problems. <br /> In order for us to proceed with the variance application, <br /> you must provide the following: <br /> 1. Certified property owners list of owners within 150' <br /> (you must obtain this list from the Hennepin County <br /> Department of Finance, A-603 Govt Center, 348-3271 ) . <br /> BU[LD[NG&ZONING-473-7357 • ADMINISTRATION&FIIYANCE-473-7358 • PUBLIC WORKS-473-7359 <br /> ASSESSING FAX-473-05t0 <br />
