Dear Mr. Carl,
As directed, I have reviewed the hardcover on your property; the
results are as follows:
Total lot area = 8282 s.f.
0-75' setback area = 3787.5 s.f.
0-75' area exclusive of roadway = 2676.5 s.f.
Existing hardcover 0-75' = 1008 s.f..or 37.6%
75-250' setback area = 4494.5 s.f.
Allowed hardcover = 1123.7 s.f. or 25%
Existing hardcover = 1195.96 s.f. or 44%
Excess hardcover = 872.26 s.f. or 19%
(staff's sketch has been enclosed for your review)
These facts have been presented to Council for their review at
their July 22nd meeting. They have also been advised that your 8'x22'
shed is located completely within the Burlington Norther Railroad
right-of-way. Please advise staff within the next week if you plan to
retain the shed as it will add an additional_96 s.f. of hardcover
within the 75-250' setback area. If you plar. to retain the shed on the
railroad right-of-way, you must obtain an easement from Burlington
Northern and submit a copy of the easement to the City. The Burlington
Northern right-of-way is located within 250 feet of the lakeshore and
already exceeds the allowed hardcover. If you retain the shed on either
your homestead lot or on the railroad right-of-way, it would be
credited against your hardcover allowance.
The City will require that you file for a hardcover variance to
permit the excess of hardcover within your homestead lot. In those
calculations, the City will not count the hardcover that existed on
your property prior tL January 1, 1975.
