feet from the front property line, where 35 feet is required.

over both the home and garage and the additional space above the garage would provide a
parents suite.

address nonconforming structures and specifically prohibit expansions of non - conforming
structures where the nonconformity would be increased without a variance.

Shorewood City Code and has established practical difficulty as defined by Minnesota Statutes.
