HARDSHIP FOR WALLS AND SWITCH BACKS WITHIN 75'SETBACK <br /> We are requesting a variance at 2709 Walters Port for Bill and Sue Dunkley and at 2710 Pence <br /> Lane for Eric and Liz Vogstrom to install 2 walls within the 75' setback and also grading the slope to <br /> create two switch backs to allow for handicap accessible vehicles to travel down to the lakeshore. Bill <br /> and Sue have a desire to live at this property and make this their retirement home. With this in mind,a <br /> there is a need for this handicap access for vehicles to access the lake shore. With the purchase of the <br /> lot next door, and in keeping with the existing walls that are already installed within the 75'setback,we <br /> believe a continuity in design with not only benefit the view from the lakeshore, but help stabilize the <br /> existing bank far better than native vegetation and no-mow fescue grasses. Other properties on Kelly <br /> Ave do have switch backs and walls within the 75'also so we believe we are not creating a situation that <br /> is unique to only this property. With these walls constructed, along with the specified naturalized plants <br /> that are being selected,we feel this is a better solution, both functional and aesthetically,for these lots <br /> and Lake Minnetonka in general. <br /> RECEIVED <br /> SEP 2 7 2 0 <br /> CM/OF ORONO <br />
