<br /> <br /> <br />b. Site data: <br />Legal Description: Lots 432, 433, 434, 435, 436, 437 and the Westerly 1/2 of Lot <br />438 AND the Westerly 1/2 of Lot 704 and all of Lots 705, 706, <br />707, 708, 709 and 710, Lane’s Demontreville Country Club, <br />Washington County, Minnesota. <br />PID: 04.029.21.33.0044 <br />Parcel Size – Acres: .86 <br />Parcel Size – Sq. Feet: 37,540 <br />Existing use of land: Residential <br />Current Zoning: RS. Residential - Lakeshore <br /> <br />c. Provision of the Lake Elmo City Code for which we seek a variance: <br />Section 154.800 Shoreland Management Overlay District, Subd(C)(3), at table 17-3 Shoreland Standards, <br />capping impervious lot coverage on an unsewered lot at 15%. <br /> <br />d. A specific written description of the proposal and how it varies from the applicable provisions of the <br />Code. <br />The impervious areas on our property comprise 17.2% of the lot, which is already higher than the Code <br />allows. We are asking you to allow a further increase to 19.0% of impervious surface coverage. We are <br />hoping to remodel our existing home to accommodate our family of six (our kids are ages 11, 8, 6, and 5). <br />The original home was built in the 1960’s. Dan’s parents purchased the home in 2000. Because of the <br />home’s history, particularly within our family, we do not wish to tear the home down and rebuild. Our <br />goal is to remain in this home but there is a need for a) more bedrooms, and b) a functional garage. <br /> <br />As it currently sits, the impervious areas exceed the 15% limit, as calculated below (See as-is survey): <br />impervious areas as-is: sq. feet <br />house 2,772 <br />shed 41 <br />concrete, pavers 1,187 <br />driveway 2,440 <br />TOTAL: 6,440 <br />CURRENT LOT SIZE: 37,540 <br />IMPERVIOUS PERCENTAGE AS-IS: 17.2% <br /> <br />The variance we seek would allow us to add onto our home to make it more suitable to our needs. As the <br />enclosed as-built survey projects, the impervious percentage with our addition would increase to 19.0%, <br />as calculated below: <br />impervious areas, projected: sq. feet <br />house 2,772 <br />house - addition 1,315 <br />driveway 2,516 <br />rear patio 419 <br />front porch 116 <br />TOTAL: 7,138 <br />CURRENT LOT SIZE 37,540 <br />IMPERVIOUS PERCENTAGE PROJECTED: *19.0% <br /> <br />*The plan approved by Resolution No. 2022-064 provided for an increase to 19.1%.
