Site Conditions The 1622 Lake Johanna Blvd is currently developed with a single-family residential dwelling with an attached garage (1,716 SF). The property was originally developed as a lakeshore cottage in 1939. In 1965, the City approved a request to remodel the cottage at the 1622 property and variances were granted for the remodeling of the structure which exists today. The nature of the variances granted were not identified in applicable building permits. The 1622 and 1624 Lake Johanna Blvd properties are existing platted lots of record that were platted in 1948, after the original cottage was developed on the 1622 Lake Johanna Blvd property. 1622 Lake Johanna Blvd is considered nonconforming with current ordinance requirements for lot area, lot depth, building area elevation, lot coverage, and front yard and rear setbacks for single- family residential properties zoned R-1 as well as residential properties located within the Shoreland District. The dwelling was constructed prior to the platting of the lot and received variances for the remodeling to the structure. The lot area for the 1622 parcel is 4,415 square feet with an existing impervious surface coverage of 2,931 square feet (66.39 percent) and structure coverage of 2,118 square feet (48 percent). The 1624 parcel is undeveloped and has a lot area of 3,957 square feet. The average lot depth for the two parcels is approximately 49 feet. Page 2 of 18
