JEAN ENGEBRETSON 1180 TONKAWA ROAD - VARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 7:03 - 7:30 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mr. and Mrs. Engebret.son and Dale Mulfinger, their consultant, were present. Mabusth explained that in June the property had been reviewed as a variance application for the current owner, Ron Lauer. The Engebretsons are in the process of buying the property and have presented an application for the removal of the existing structure and propose a replacement residence which would be angled further west partially out of the 0-75’ setback area and approximately 6’ in front of the average lakeshore setback and about 57’ back from the shoreline. The majority of the stnw ture has been removed out of the 0-75’. There are hardcover excesses. Engebretson thanked the Planning Commission for reviewing his application early as he has an obligation in the City of Deephaven. Applicant stated this will be their retirement home on Maxwell Bay. Three hardships exist with the lot: lot is short and square in shape, scalloped effect of the shoreline adds to the shortness of the lot. and a hill is located on the property which they want to preserve as a berm between the proposed house and Tonkawa Road. He proposes to tear down the old house and build a two story square design home with a tuck under garage and no deck. The home will be located back from the lake. They plan to remove existing hardcover improvement closer to lake. The proposed plan minimizes every possible square fool of hardcover and lake setback intrusion. The driveway design allow's for a turnaround eliminating the need to back cut onto Tonkawa Road. Smith questioned the need for a tliree car garage and the po.ssibility of more hardcover reduction.
