LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 20, 2009 2 maximum of 25% coverage allowed under the R-1 Zoning District. The variance has been requested to allow an expansion and improvement of the primary structure on this site that would otherwise be limited to the existing footprint of the building. Staff determined all criteria were met as strict adherence to the code and that the request was deemed reasonable as the addition would have no impact on adjacent properties. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request by a vote of eight to one. As a condition of approval for property in the shoreland district, the following wording was suggested and will be reviewed by City Attorney Snyder “The property will be verified as compliant with the DNR shoreland buffer regulations in effect at the time of approval, by the Washington Conservation District.” MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to approve Resolution No. 2009-040, A Resolution approving for Greg and Kathleen Lohmer, 8199 Hill Trail N., to allow the construction of a 147 sq.ft. addition and related breezeway structure to the house at 8199 Hill Trail N. that would add 112 sq.ft. of additional impervious surface coverage to a lot that already exceeds the maximum of 25% coverage allowed under the R-1 Zoning District, with the inclusion of two conditions: 1. Require proper redirection of water away from any neighbors 2. Make sure that additional impervious surfaces are not added after the project is complete. Council Member Park seconded the motion.
