, . . <br /> , PC Exhibit B <br /> 12 point Practical Difficulty Test <br /> 1. The property is designated for single family homes, but does not meet the 2 acre <br /> minimum or the lot setback requirements. Landowner desires to build a new <br /> single family home to replace the current home which has reached the end of its <br /> useful life. <br /> 2. The property does not meet the 2 acre minimum or the lot setback requirements <br /> even after the landowner purchased adjacent lot. The city owns the adjacent land <br /> on three sides as right-of-ways and has a stated objection to vacating these right- <br /> of-ways. The current set of circumstances makes it a practical difficulty to <br /> purchase enough land in the right directions to meet the existing lot minimum and <br /> lot setback requirements. <br /> 3. Most if not all historical homes in the Minnetonka Bluffs neighborhood currently <br /> do not meet the requirements of the 2 acre minimum or the lot setback <br /> requirements. In addition, homes there are more recently constructed such as <br /> 539,568 Keene Ave, 1225, 1205 Dickenson St and 1300 shoreline Drive do not <br /> meet the current requirements for lot size or setbacks. <br /> 4. The existing home has reached the end of its useful life. <br /> 5. Not Applicable <br /> 6. Not Applicable <br /> 7. Not Applicable <br /> 8. Property topography(hill), sewer easement, and the ingress/egress to Fox street <br /> drives the logical placement of the new home on the property. <br /> 9. Property topography(hill), sewer easement, and the ingress/egress to Fox street <br /> drives the logical placement of the new home on the property. <br /> 10. The existing home has reached the end of its useful life. The applicant desires to <br /> construct a new single family home to replace the existing structure. Applicant's <br /> plans will place the new home further from the lot lines than the current existing <br /> structure. <br /> 11. True <br /> 12. Applicant purchased adjacent property to mitigate setback and coverage <br /> requirements required of the new home design. Property is bounded on 3 sides by <br /> City right-of-ways. The City has a stated objective to vacate any one or a portion <br /> of these right-of-ways. This makes additional lot purchases ineffective to resolve <br /> the demonstrated diff'iculties. <br /> F Y�erc r R <br /> 6�i����¢� <br /> JAN 21 2[11a �� � � � � <br />
