Background The applicant proposes to construct an accessory building, swimming pool and pool mechanical equipment in the required rear setback along Silver Lake. The minimum required setback in the R‐ 1A District is 75 feet for lots located on Silver Lake. Most homes along the lake are located close to the street, creating a somewhat uniform and pleasing rhythm of building facades along Silver Lane, Silver Lake Terrace, and Silver Lake Court. The subject property is complementary to this predominant home placement and is larger than the average lake front lot. The R‐1A Single Family Lakeshore District was adopted by St. Anthony Village in 1991. The purpose of the district is to create and maintain lakeshore areas for single‐family detached residences which, due to the natural amenity of the lake, and the topographic characteristics, call for zoning regulations which are somewhat different from other single‐family districts and which are designed for the preservation of natural areas. 2. Applicable Codes. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code: Accessory Building: Section 152.054 (G) Rear yard applies to the accessory building. The year yard requirement for lots along the lake is a minimum of 75‐feet from the ordinary high water elevation. Swimming pool: Section 152.053 (B. 1) and (B. 3) apply to the pool and pool mechanical equipment. No part of a swimming pool or its mechanical equipment may be located within the setback. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section 152.245 VARIANCE (A) Application states that “An owner of property with an existing structure which does not comply with the zoning code, or of property on which such a structure is proposed to be constructed, may apply for a variance upon payment of the fee specified in Chapter 33”. 3. Criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for Variance Approval.

The applicable criteria include: 1. The subject matter of the application is within the scope of this section. The application for variances to the rear yard setback is an eligible subject matter for variance criteria because these factors are related to dimensional and/or bulk standards. Criterion met for the accessory building and for the swimming pool/mechanical equipment.
