Existing hardcover in the 75-250 ' <br /> lakeshore setback zone is 33.8�. As a result of the <br /> proposed addition and driveway reconstruction, <br /> hardcover in the 75-250' zone will decrease to 31.7�, a � <br /> decrease of 309 square feet. The decrease in <br /> hardcover is considered a benefit to the property and <br /> to the neighborhood in general, as well as being <br /> beneficial to Lake Minnetonka.
