VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br /> (#3) #2633 JEROME LAGUE, 2138 SHADYWOOD ROAD, VARIANCES, <br /> 6:52 p.m.—7:07 p.m. <br /> Paul Lague, Applicant's son,was present. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> Bottenberg stated the Applicant is requesting a variance to replace a lakeside second story deck. <br /> The proposed deck is to be 14' by 36' and located approximately 86 feet from Lake Minnetonka. <br /> On the west end of the proposed deck will be a ramp for accessing the yard. The ramp is <br /> 84 square feet. The old deck was in a deteriorated state and has been removed. <br /> Bottenberg stated the deck/ramp will encroach 8 feet into the average lakeshore setback. The <br /> residence was built in 1975 in its present location. The adjacent residence to the north has been <br /> torn down and a new residence is being built further back on its lot to meet the average lakeshore <br /> setback, making the deck protrude further into the average lakeshore setback than previously. <br /> Bottenberg stated the lakeside patio of approximately 500 square feet will not increase the <br /> hardcover coverage in the 75-350' zone because it is on top of the brick patio which is already • <br /> counted as hardcover. The ramp on the west end of the proposed deck will increase the hardcover <br /> coverage in the 75-250' zone by approximately 84 square feet. <br /> Bottenberg stated a variance to hardcover in the 75-250' zone is required as well as a variance <br /> to the average lakeshore setback to permit the 8 foot encroachment. <br /> City Staff recommends approval of the variance to build the deck and ramp. <br /> Lague had no additional comments to Staff's report. <br /> Hawn stated the Planning Commission typically does not permit additional hardcover,but does <br /> allow the residents to replace what is currently existing. Hawn stated the ramp is an issue in this <br /> application. Hawn inquired whether the deck could be reduced slightly. <br /> Lague stated he could possibly make the ramp slightly narrow. Lague stated he has a picture <br /> showing the previous deck,noting what is proposed is the exact same deck. <br /> Hawn stated that is her understanding as well. <br /> Lindquist stated the Applicant will need to reduce the size of the deck by 84 square feet. <br /> Lague inquired whether it was a hardcover issue. <br /> • <br /> PAGE 4 <br />
