Therefore making any improvements or corrections to <br /> fhe properfy would require a variance for any scope of work. Below are the responses to t�e specific criteria as they are <br /> . indicated on the Hardship Documenta8on Form, . . � <br /> � . i. "The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if the used under conditions allowed by the official <br /> � controls° - � <br /> � Many portions of the home are in structurally unsound condition. While the following statemenf outlines�the exfent of <br /> structural concems,it should be noted that 30%area requiring correcfion resides within the 30'Front Yard sefback.The <br /> exis6ng foundation has several poinfs that at are varying in heights;at on point the difference is 9"from one point in a . <br /> � room to the adjacent corner.Other indications of movement are in slumping ceilings and bowed walls, These areas are . <br /> numerous and require extensive correcfion or total removal and replacement. In addition to this,the existing <br /> mechanical space is located in.a crawl space that is brily accessible through an exterior set of doors,that are nof only <br /> difficulf to operate but are often covered in snow during the winter months making access difficult and unsafe. <br /> � • 2, °The plight of the landowner is due circumstances unique to his property not created by the IandoWner." <br /> � Many of the existing non-conforming condifions are due to the period of the originai construction of the home, � <br /> ' subsequ�nt additions and modificafions as well as current regulations making those existing conditions non-conforming <br /> . therefore unique to this properfy. Speciflc non conforming issues as they apply to the front yard setback,the side yard <br /> setback and the tofal percentage of existing hardcover in both the 0-75 and 75-250 zones, The proposed footprint is <br /> slightly reduced in total square foot,while conforming to the 30'Front Yard set back. More over,fhe exisiing pool and <br /> patio are features of the property that affect the total hardcover percentages in boih zones, The proposed is an effort fo <br /> . both provide a home of similar size to the existing while maintaining the character of the original surroundings. <br /> LAKE COUNTRY <br /> � 3, °The variance,if granted,will not alter the essential character of the locality." <br /> BUILDERS, LTD. <br /> The proposed is an effort to maintain the existing character of the landscape,amenities and preserve the views of <br /> neighbors on both sides of the property. The proposed footprinf is similar in size and scope of the existing,further fhe <br /> �3 3 9 S E C 0 N D S T R E E T increased total square footage is done is a way to minimize impact on the site and keep the existing garage as a viable <br /> EXCELSI OR, MN 55331 sfructure for future use, Further more,a connected garage is common in the area and will not create and unique or <br /> change the character of the locality. The focus of the design has been to develop a design thaf is in keeping with a <br /> lakeside cottage style that is in fact smaller than most k�omes being built on Lake Minnelonka. <br /> T952 . 474 . 7121 � . <br /> F952 . 474 . 7957 � <br /> wlakecountrybu(Iders.com . . <br />
