SECTION 9: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />Variance: 115 Clay Cliffe Dnve <br />City Council Report; 11-I1-08 <br />(cont.) <br />d. Projects shall be analyzed by the City in terms of the appearance of the structure <br />when viewed from the lake's surface. Building materials, and color shall be <br />analyzed to determine which facade and roof materials minimize the appearance <br />and blend the structure into the shoreland and vegetation. <br />The lanai is proposed to blend in with the existing structure by utilizing the same <br />materials and colors. Additionally, because of the unique configuration of this lot <br />and the surrounding lakeshore, the lanai will not impede any lakeshore views. <br />Staff finds this criteria is met. <br />e. Lot coverage on a project basis shall be restricted to the provisions for maximum <br />impervious surface coverage as provided for in this Ordinance. <br />Tonka Bay city codes allows for requests of hardcover up to 45% without the need <br />for a variance. As this request does not exceed this threshold, and is not subject to <br />a variance review, staff finds this criteria is met. <br />f. Residential densities on a project basis shall not be allowed to exceed the <br />maximum allowed density of the base zoning districts for which the project is <br />proposed. <br />As this proposal does not include subdivision of the parcel, this criteria does not <br />apply. <br />g. All projects shall be in conformance with the Shoreland Management Plan, <br />Comprehensive Plan, and Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances of the City of Tonka <br />Bay. <br />Provided all needed variances and conditional use permits are approved, the <br />proposal would be in line with the noted documents. Engineering has conducted a <br />full review of the proposed plans and is recommending approval. Staff finds this <br />criteria is satisfied. <br />h. All projects shall be subject to the review by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed <br />District and the City Engineer. <br />As always, staff would propose to make any approval contingent upon the <br />acquisition of all necessary permits from the MCWD. Additionally, the plan has <br />been reviewed and is recommended for approval by the City engineer (review <br />memo is attached). As such, staff finds this criteria is satisfied. <br />Resident Staff is not aware of any resident concerns surrounding the requested variances. As <br />Concerns: noted, the Clay Cliffe Homeowners Association is aware of the project, and their <br />architectural review committee has already approved the plans. <br />Additional None. <br />Information: <br />U Proposals Tiled by Employee Ten Gozo&City ofMendota Heights Example Rep --TB Tlariance and CUP 2008.doe <br />City of Ramsey I Proposal for Routine Professional Planning Services <br />32 <br />Page 8 <br />
