(15%) <br /> Pco osed: 3,?14 s.f. (12.4%) <br /> Hardcover Calculations: <br /> The hardcover was calculated not taking into account the 0'-75' zone on the eastern <br /> poi-tion of the property. Based on the presence of the 929.4' OHWL contour elevation <br /> � founcl in the wetland and the integral coruiection between the wetland and Lake <br /> Minnetonka staff would apply the 75' lake setbacic to this area as well. However, Staff <br /> has not adjusted the applicants' submitted hardcover information to reflect this new <br /> . information. <br /> Hardcover Zone Total Area in Allowed Esisting Proposed <br /> Zone Hardcover Hardcover Hardcover <br /> 0—75 3,910 s.f. � s,f 130 s.f.* 130 s.f. <br /> (p%) (3•.3°/u) (3.3%) <br /> 75—250 g,045 s.f. 2�011 s.f. 2,485 s.f.* 3,075 s.f. <br /> � (25%) .(30.9%) (38.2%) <br /> * After exclusion of fabric or plastic-lined landscape beds <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ . <br /> Wetland Impacts � <br /> � The applicants' property borders a large "Preserve" classification wetland on the east. <br /> This wetland, if the wetland ordinance were to be triggered, requires a 50' vegetative <br /> buffer and a 20' structural setback from the buffer's edge. While the applicants' proposal <br /> does not appear to trigger the application of the wetland ordina�zce staff feels that due to <br /> the extremely substandard setback of the home to the lake and wetland it may be <br /> appropriate to require that some level of vegetative buffer be planted alon� the eastern <br /> portion of the yard bordering the wetland and perhaps the lake's edge. <br /> Hardcover Variance <br /> The applicants' proposal for a garage addition results in approYimately 575 s.f. of <br /> additional structural coverage to be built over the exiting driveway. The applicants' <br /> proposal results in a request for 4.8% (705 s.f.) additional hardcover within the 75' 250' <br /> zone. <br /> Side Yai-d and Lake Setback Variances <br /> The applicants' existing home at 5' encroaches significantly into the required 10' side <br /> yard setbacic and with the lakeside deck encroaches approximately 40' into the 75' <br /> setback from the lalce. The applicants' proposal includes maintaining the existing 5' <br /> selback fi�r their 2°d story and constructing the new g�.ra�e space to meet the 10'setback. <br /> The addition to the rear of the home, while encroaching into tlze 75' setback from the <br /> 929.4' OHWL elevation alon� the eastern portion of the property, meets the 75' setback <br /> from the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka on the north. � <br /> � <br /> 3 <br />
