In the 75-250' zone the hardcover used <br /> is 18.2�; the increase is only 1/lOth of l� to 18.3�; and the <br /> allowed hardcover is 25$. In the 0-75' zone the hazdcover dating <br /> f�om 1949 is only 1,491 sq. ft. or 5.75�. With the removal of <br /> pavers by the lake, there will be a net decrease in hardcover in <br /> the 0-75' zone from 1,491 sq. ft. to 1 , 467 sq ft., a 24 sq. ft. <br /> reduction. <br /> Taken as a whole the hardcover on this lot, which is 50� <br /> larger than the minimum lot size, will be only 15,461 sq. ft. <br /> when the allowed hardcover on this site would be 27,725 sq. ft. <br /> Therefore the applicants are aiding the lakeshore drainage by <br /> under-utilizing the allowed hardcover and decreasing the <br /> hardcover in the 0-75' zone. <br /> • 8. While 170 sq. ft. of the 306 sq. ft. of new <br /> hardcover constitutes a po�tion of the new g�eenhouse, other <br /> parts of the hardcover including the xetaining wall/stairs (96 <br /> sq. ft.) and paving (40 sq. ft.) are for the puxposes of <br /> landscaping, screening and better stabilizing the embankment down <br /> to Lake Minnetonka. The embankment has suffered some erosion <br /> damage over the years. Significantly, the applicants' dxainage <br /> plans call for betterment of the existing eroding condition by <br /> directing water away from the embankment. Such drainage plan is <br /> a significant improvement to control erosion. <br /> 9. The applicants are in their 60s and suffer from <br /> arthxitis. The proposed additional area of ground floor, bedroom <br /> living space will assist them to bettex remain in their home <br /> (rather than having to climb staizs to bedroom areas) and the <br /> high humidity in the greenhouse adjacent to the bedroom is <br /> beneficial to reduce the impact of arthritis. <br /> 10. The existing 1949 house is as close as 57' to Lake <br /> Minnetonka which was permitted when the house was constructed. <br /> 'All parts of the new house construction will be futher from the <br /> shore of Lake .Minnetonka than 75' with the closest such new <br /> portion being 58 1/2' from Lake Minnetonka. View fzom adjacent <br /> houses are not impacted by the addition. <br /> • <br />
