line, and is located in the R-IA1S zoning district.

4.
That the proposed house will comply with the 150-foot setback from Silver Lake.
5. That the existing house on the property has experienced damage due to drainage
problems that will be corrected by locating the new house further back from the street.

would render the lot unbuildable.
CONCLUSION
1. That the Applicant has satisfied the criteria for the grant of a variance under
Section 1201.05 of the Shorewood City Code and has established an undue hardship as defined
by Minnesota Statutes Section 462.375, Subd. 6(2).
2. That based upon the foregoing, the City Council hereby grants the Applicant's
request for setback variances to construct a single-family dwelling as shown on Exhibit B,
attached.
