"The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by � <br /> the official controls." <br /> Reasonable use: under the present official zoning controls,the present lot size is non-conforming, <br /> permitted,the lot width is non-conforming, and the present hardcover in the 0—75 zone, 75—250 zone, <br /> and 250+zone is non-conforming, despite being permitted under less restrictive zoning controls at some <br /> past dates. 3095 Casco Point Road has unique to itself property configurations that prevent reasonable <br /> � use under present day official controls: <br /> a. Propertv Confi�uration(see survev): � <br /> The property is 539.5 x 15 x 497.4 x 60, which is very long and narrow and cannot be changed. <br /> b. Topo -g�raphic Chan�e: <br /> From the drive entrance off of Casco Point Road to the existing home location is a downward <br /> drop of 27'. This drop occurs mostly over a driveway length of 220' or an average of 12.2%, <br /> � with some specific location grades as steep as 13.3%. Thus, adequate garage and vehicle turn <br /> in/turn out space is a challenge. <br /> c. Continued Use: <br /> �Despite these challenges, the owner believes the property has been developed to a reasonable use <br /> and simply wishes to redevelop the property equal, or make better,the present non-conformities <br /> per MN.St.Stat. 462.357, Subd. le. <br /> 4 6 4 S e c o n d S t r e e t • S u i t e 1 0 0 • E x c e 1 s i o r , M N 5 5 3 3 1 <br /> p h o n e : 9 5 2 . 4 7 0 . 9 7 5 0 • f a x : 9 5 2 . 4 7 0 . 8 4 0 7 <br /> w e b s i t e : s h a r r a t t d e s i g n . c o m • e m a i 1 : i n f o@ s h a r r a t t d e s i g n . c o m <br />
