Re: Planning Case #2025-05 – 7030 Lucy Ridge Ln Variance
Dear Xpand Inc.,
This letter is to confirm that on April 15, 2025, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as
the Board of Appeals and Adjustment, approved the requested rear yard setback variance for the
construction of a home addition subject to the following conditions:
1. Building plans must provide sufficient information to verify that proposed building/addition
meets all requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code, additional comments or
requirements may be required after plan review.
2. A building permit must be obtained before beginning any construction.
3. Retaining walls (if present) more than four feet high, measured from the bottom of the footing to
the top of the wall, must be designed by a professional engineer and a building permit must be
obtained prior to construction. Retaining walls (if present) under four feet in height require a
zoning permit.
4. If any soil corrections are done on the property a final grading plan and soil report must be
submitted to the Inspections Division before permits will be issued.
Also note that a variance shall become void within one year unless substantial action has been
taken by the petitioner in reliance thereof and that approval of a variance is not approval to begin
demolition, construction, or grading activities and that permits are required before engaging in
any of the aforementioned.
Please attach this letter of approval to your building permit at the time of application.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (952) 227-1137 or
by email at rjeske@chanhassenmn.gov.
Sincerely,
Rachel Jeske
