Steven July 16, 2001 - SUBJECT: Request for a permit to move a house to: 1800 Flying Cloud Drive BACKGROUND Dennis Nystrom submitted an application for a moving permit on June 29, 2001. The home was subsequently moved onto the site on July 7, 2001. The applicant stated that circumstances beyond his control arose which necessitated the premature move to the site. The applicant is aware that he is in violation of City Code Section 17-41, and the home will have to be moved from the site if his request for a moving permit or the required variance is denied. Chanhassen City Code Section 17-43 (enclosed) requires that the City Council conduct a hearing on the application. A Notice of Hearing was mailed to property owners residing within 350' of the subject property on July 5, 2001. · . ANALYSIS City code requires that a moved home comply with the Uniform Building Code; be well maintained and in a good state of repair; comply with Chanhassen City Code, Chapter 20; and not materially depreciate surrounding property values. Uniform Building Code: Inspections Division staff inspected the home on 7/12/01. The applicant was given a list of items (enclosed) required to bring the home up to current code. These items will be incorporated into the building, plumbing and HVAC permits that will be required as part of the move. Dwelling Condition: The home, which was built in 1975, has been generally well maintained. The brick veneer exterior had to be removed before moving the home, and new hard board siding will be installed. I have enclosed exterior pictures of the dwelling taken by the applicant. Chapter 20: The site proposed to receive the house is a 1.1 acre parcel zoned Agricultural Estate (A2) District. The A2 district permits single-family dwellings and accessory buildings. The A2 district requires a minimum lot frontage of 200 feet, minimum lot depth of 200 feet and a minimum lot area of 2.5 acres. The lot complies with the lot frontage (292 feet) and lot depth (322 feet) requirements. However, the lot does not have the minimum lot area. Therefore, the lot is nonconforming and requires a variance to permit development. Had the lot met a least 75 percent of the minimum requirements, a variance would not have been necessary to construct a single-family home on the property (Section 20-73 (b)). The applicant has applied for a variance. The public hearing for the variance is scheduled for August 7, 2001. qf Cha,hassen. A growh~g community w/th clean lakes, quali~, schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, and beautiful parks. A great p/ace to live, work, and p/ay. Mayor and City Council Todd Gerhardt, Acting City Manager July 16, 2001 Page 2 A house and accessory buildings used to exist on this property. However, the house was in disrepair and uninhabitable. In June, the property owner applied for a demolition permit to remove the existing house. The proposed house should improve the appearance of the site and the value of the property. Required setbacks in the A2 district are 50 feet from the front and rear property lines and 10 feet from the side property lines. The property is shaped like a piece of pie. The front of the property is Highway 212. The rear of the property is the point where the two sides meet. Surrounding Property.
