RE: Proposed Addition
Dear Mr. Bachkes:
CITYofORO 0
Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323" Municipal Offices
On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka
We received an application for your proposed addition on 4-18-86. The
application is incomplete in as much as hardcover calculations were not
submitted. On 4-24-86 I made a site inspection of the property to review
the hardcover. Based on my notes {attached) the existing hardcover in the
75-250' setback zone is at 26.0% where only 25% is allowed, and with the
addition wi 11 increase to 2 9. 7 %. In order to construct the addition, you
will have to be granted a variance by the City Council. Your other
alternative is to remove an amount of existing hardcover so that you don't
exceed the 25% limit, i.e. you would have to end up with no more than 2268
square feet of hardcover in the 75-250' zone.
The other concern I have is that your survey does not define the side
setback on the west side of the house. It shows the fence pretty much on
the line, and in the field I measured 17'8" from the existing house to the
fence, just a few inches short but nevertheless less than the 18' required
to put in an 8' addition. Your surveyor wi 11 have to stake the lot line at
that point so the setback can be verified.
Please contact me as soon as possible to discuss this and determine
how you wish to proceed. Time is of the essence if you want to apply for a
variance. I would need the application by noon, Tuesday, April 29, in
order to schedule a public hearing for the May 19 Planning Commission
meeting. You would have final decision from the City Council no sooner
than June 9.

0-75' Hardcover= Approx. 300 s.f. = 6% (no change proposed)
75-250' Hardcover:
Existing = 2,361 s.f. = 26.0%
Proposed = 2,696 s.f. = 29.7%
(1% = 91 s. f. )
The applicants are requesting variances in order to
construct an addition to the west side of their home. A hard
cover variance is requested as shown above, and staff notes that
there do not appear to be any substantial hardcover items that
could be reasonably removed as a tradeoff. Secondly, a side
setback variance of 0.5 feet is requested, leaving a 9.5 foot
setback (5% variance) on the west side of the house.
The hardcover in the 0-7 5' zone consists of a set of stairs
(necessary for lake access with the steep bank) and a small
boathouse. The boathouse is a non-conforming structure and
subject to the pertinent ordinances.
The neighbor to the west has not made any comments to date
regarding this project. Note that the setback variance is for
just the northwest corner of the addition.

evergreen plantings would help but would create other
problems. It was also noted that none of the neighbors
object to the wall.
Acting Mayor Adams stated that he felt the proposed wall
was very attractive however, the Council must consider
all other wall requests that may follow this request if
it were approved. He stated that he would like to find
a solution within the ordinance and that a wall is not
the only solution to the headlight problem.
Planning Commission member Goetten stated that she voted
in favor of the wall because because of the unique
situation and headlight problem.
It was moved by Acting Mayor Adams, seconded by
Councilmember Hammerel, to approve the height variance
along County Rd. 15 to the driveway, and deny the height
variance along Bracketts Point Rd.

design in 1 ight of Council's comments. No further
