APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Section 20-615 of the zoning ordinance requires a 30 foot front yard setback for properties zoned
RSF (Attachment 2).
Section 20-72(a) states that there shall be no expansion, intensification, replacement, structural
change, or relocation of any nonconforming use or nonconforming structure except to lessen or
eliminate the nonconformity (Attachment 3).
Section 20-72 (e) states that removal or destruction of a non-conforming structure to the extent of
more than 50 percent of its estimated value, excluding land value and as determined by the city,
shall terminate the right to continue the nonconforming structure (Attachment 3).
BACKGROUND
The property is an unplatted parcel, meaning it has a metes and bounds legal description, not a lot
and block. According to records supplied by Carver County, this home was constructed in 1970
prior to the 1972 zoning ordinance. The existing 20 foot by 22 foot detached garage, built in
1981 according to city records, does not meet the 30 foot front yard setback currently required by
ordinance. In 1984, an addition was constructed on the front of the 26 foot by 56 foot home.
This addition meets the required 30 foot setback.
The subject property is 23,622 sq. ft. It is 112.5 feet in width (90 feet required) and 210 feet in
depth (125 feet required). The table displays the setbacks maintained by the existing home.
TABLE 1
Setbacks For 7616 Frontier Trail
Setback Distance Required Distance Maintained

Home: 54 feet
Side 10 feet North: 109 feet
West: 35.7 feet
Front/Frontier Trail 30 feet 48.6 feet
On June 2, 1999 a building permit was issued for the construction of a 24 foot by 31 foot garage.
The garage was proposed to be attached to the existing home. The proposed garage was to meet
the 30 foot front yard setback. The garage was never built.
The applicant would now like to construct a 961 sq. ft. (31 feet by 31 feet), 3-stall garage
addition onto an existing single family dwelling. The existing 440 sq. ft. detached garage will be
demolished. The addition is proposed to maintain the 22 foot nonconforming front yard setback
and a 10 foot side yard setback.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting an 8 foot variance from the 30 foot front yard setback for the
construction of a 3-stall garage addition. The existing garage was constructed at a 22 foot front
yard setback in 1981. The applicant seeks to maintain that nonconforming setback.
Site Characteristics
The topography of the site does not limit the buildable area to the extent a variance is needed to
construct a garage.
The location of the existing home limits the location of a garage addition, however, a permit was
issued for a 2-stall garage in June 1999 that complied with ordinance requirements. The location
of the existing home does not require a variance for the construction of a garage. (see Buildable
Area in Attachment 5.)
Permitted Use
This site is zoned RSF, Single Family Residential. A single family home can be legally
constructed on the site. The zoning ordinance (Section 20-1124 (2) f) requires two parking
spaces, both of which shall be completely enclosed for single family dwellings. The applicant is
entitled to construct a 2-stall garage on the site, not a 3-stall as requested. Currently, a single
family dwelling with one covered parking space is present on the site. A building permit was
recently issued for a 2-stall garage.
Reasonable Use
The buildable area (12,702 sq. ft. or 73 feet by 174 feet) is not constrained by the literal
enforcement of the zoning ordinance. The required setbacks do not limit the buildable area to
make it impossible to construct a garage without a variance. The property owner has the
opportunity to make a reasonable use of the site without any variances. A reasonable use is
defined as the use made by a majority of comparable property within 500 feet. A "use" can be
defined as "the purpose or activity for which land or buildings are designed, arranged or intended
or for which land or buildings are occupied or maintained." In this case, because it is in a RSF
zoning district, a reasonable use is a single family home with a two-stall garage. A building
permit has been issued for the construction of a 2-stall garage, so the owner has a reasonable use
of the property.
A variance is granted when a hardship is present. That is, the property owner cannot make a
reasonable use of the site without relief from the ordinance. In this instance, the owner can
construct a garage within the buildable area (as noted by building permit #9900406)

Nonconforming Setback
The existing garage maintains a nonconforming 22 foot front yard setback. The zoning
ordinance permits a nonconforming structure to be maintained or repaired but only to 50 percent
of its value. It also states that a nonconformity shall not be increased. Specifically, the ordinance
states ifa setback of a dwelling is nonconforming, no additions may be added to the
nonconforming side of the building unless the addition meets setback requirements. The
proposed garage addition does not meet the required 30 foot front yard setback and will expand
the garage area at the nonconforming setback. The 2-stall garage proposed on the building
permit plans meets the setback requirements.
Staff believes that a variance should not be granted because it will increase the nonconformity of
the setback. It is not reasonable to assume that since the existing garage maintains a 22 foot
setback, that a variance will or should be granted. This addition should lessen the nonconformity
of the setback, not increase it.
Neighborhood Setbacks
Staff performed a visual survey of the surrounding properties and found a significant number of
homes that do not meet the required setbacks. This is not unusual as this area was settled in the
late 1800s. However, this is not justification for this variance. It has been demonstrated that a
garage can be constructed on this site without a variance.
Yard Encroachments
In cases where a variance is granted, the zoning ordinance does not permit any encroachments
into the setback such as eaves or bay windows. If a variance is granted, the setback shall be
measured from the edge of the eave of the garage.
Staff recommends denial of the 8-foot variance request because the applicant has not
demonstrated a hardship.
FINDINGS
The Planning Commission shall not grant a variance unless they find the following facts:
That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship. Undue
hardship means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of/ts size,
physical surroundings, shape or topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a
majority of comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to
allow a proliferation of variances, but to recognize that there are pre-existing standards in
this neighborhood. Variances that blend with these pre-existing standards without departing
downward from them meet this criteria.
Buranen Variance
August 11, 1999
Page 5
Finding: The literal enforcement of the ordinance does not create a hardship, however, the
location of the home dictates where an addition can be placed. A building permit has been
issued to allow the applicant to construct a 2-stall garage on the site. Approving the
variance will increase the nonconformity of the setback and depart downward from pre-
existing standards. The inability to construct a 3-stall garage in this location does not
constitute a hardship.
bo
The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to
other property within the same zoning classification.
Finding: The conditions upon which this variance is based are applicable to all properties
in the RSF zoning district.
Co
The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income
potential of the parcel of land.
Finding: The 3-stall garage will increase the value of the property, however, staff does not
believe that is the sole reason for the request.
do
The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding: The home was constructed prior to the ordinance, so the hardship is not entirely
self-created. However, the fact that the applicant wishes to construct a 3-stall garage when
a permit was issued for a 2-stall, is a self-created hardship.
The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
Finding: The variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located. However, the
granting of the variance will allow the expansion of a nonconformity, which could
contribute to a downward deviation of standards in the neighborhood.
The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger
of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood.
Finding: The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets. However,
permitting the 8 foot variance would increase the nonconformity of the setback.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission denies the request #99-13 for an 8 foot variance from the 30 foot front
yard setback for the construction of a 3 stall garage based upon the staff report and the following:
1. The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship to warrant a variance.
2. A 2-stall garage can be constructed on the site without a variance.
3. Sufficient buildable area exists on the site at the required setbacks to permit the construction of
a garage."

Date: July 19, 1999
City of Chanhassen
Planning Committee
690 Coulter Drive
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Planning Committee,
We are asking approval for an eight foot variance on our residence at 7616 Frontier Trail for an attached
garage.
We purchased our home last year which has a two car unattached garage. We were newly married and
wanted to live in the Chanhassen area near our families. We thought we could handle an unattached garage
for awhile and noticed that there was plenty of space between the garage and house to later connect them
together. After living a year of slipping and running to the garage through snow, rain and hail we now know
we definitely love attached garages and need one. In addition, we like our three new vehicles to be housed
in a garage away from Minnesota's weather elements especially the hail, One of our vehicles got caught in
the hail storm a year ago and we had several thousand dollars of damage. We work hard to afford nice
vehicles and want them to keep looking nice.
Our dilemma is that our current garage side is 38 feet from the road which would fulfill the requirement of
the 30 feet set back. However, later we discovered that the 38 feet included 16 feet of the city's setback
property which brought our property setback to only 22 feet. Therefore, our current existing garage has a
variance of 8 feet. We simply desire this same 8 feet variance for our new attached garage. The existing
garage is further from the road then some of our neighbor's houses and does not cause a problem with it's
location. So by granting this variance you would not be causing any hardship for anyone but merely
eliminating ours.
Any concerns, we would be happy to address. We appreciate your time and hope you approve our request.
Sincerely,
Jim and Diane Buranen

Sec. 20-71. Purpose.
The purpose of this division is:
(1) To recognize the existence of uses, lots, and structures which were lawful when
established, but which no longer meet all ordinance requirements;
(2) To prevent the enlargement, expansion, intensification, or extension of any noncon-
fo _truing use, building, or structure;
(3) To encourage the elimination of nonconforming uses, lots, and structures or reduce
their impact on adjacent properties.
(Ord. No. 165, § 2, 2-10-92)
Sec. 20.72. Nonconforming uses and structures.
~There shall be no expansion, intensification, replacement, structural change, or relo-
cation of any nonconforr-lng use or nonconforming structure except to lessen or eliminate the
nonconformity.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, any detached single-family
dwelling that is on a nonconforming lot or that is a nonconforming use or structure may be
altered, or expanded provided, however, that the nonconformity may not be increased. If a
setback of a dwelling is nonconforming, no additions may be added to the nonconforming side
of the building unless the addition meets setback requirements.
(c) No nonconforming use shall be resumed if normal operation of the use has been
discontinued for a period of twelve (12) or more months. Time shall be calculated as beginning
on the day following the last day in which the use was in normal operation and shall run
continuously thereafter. Following the expiration of twelve (12) months, only land uses which
are permitted by this ordinance shall be allowed to be established.
*Editor's note-Section 2 of Ord. No. 165, adopted Feb. 10, 1992, amended Div. 4 in its
entirety to read as set out in §§ 20-71-20.73. Prior to amendment, Div. 4 contained §§

(d) Full use of a nonconforming land use shall not be resumed if the amount of land or
floor area dedicated to the use is lessened or if the intensity of the use is in any manner
diminished for a period of twelve (12) or more months. Time shall be calculated as beginning
on the day following the last day in which the nonconforming land use was in full operation
and shall run continuously thereafter.. Following the expiration of twelve (12) months, the
nonconforming land use may be used only in the manner or to the extent used during the
preceding twelve (12) months. For the purposes of this section, intensity of use shall be mea-
sured by hours of operation, traffic, noise, exterior storage, signs, odors, number of employees,
and other factors deemed relevant by the city.

tion of a nonconforming structure to the extent of more than fifty (50) percent of its estimated
value, excluding land value and as determined by the city, shall terminate the right to con-

(f) Notwithstanding the prohibitions contained in the forgoing paragraphs of this section,
if approved by the city council a nonconforming land use may be changed to another noncon-
forming land use of less intensity if it is in the public interest. In all instances the applicant
has the burden of proof regarding the relative intensities of uses.
(g) If a nonconforming land use is superseded or replaced by a permitted use, the non-
conforming status of the premises and any rights which arise under the provisions of this
section shall terminate.
(Ord. No. 165, § 2, 2.10-92)
Sec. 20.73. Nonconforming lots of record.
(a) No variance shall be required to reconstruct a detached single-family dwelling located
on a nonconforming lot of record or which is a nonconforming use if it is destroyed by natural
disaster so long as the replacement dwelling has a footprint which is no larger than that of the
destroyed structure and is substantially the same size in building height, and floor area as the
destroyed structure. Reconstruction shall commence within two (2) years of the date of the
destruction of the original building and reasonable progress shall be made in completing the
project. A building permit shall be obtained prior to construction of the new dwelling and the
new structure shall be constructed in compliance with all other city codes and regulations.
(b) No variance shall be required to construct a detached single-family dwelling on a
nonconforming lot provided that it fronts on a public street or approved private street and
provided that the width and area measurements are at lest seventy-five (75) percent of the
minimum requirements of this chapter.
(c) Except as otherwise specifi~y provided for detached single-family dwellings, 'there
shall be no expansion, intensification, replacement, or structural changes of a structure on a
nonconforming lot.
(d) If two (2) or more contiguous lots are in single ownership and if all or part of the lots
do not meet the width and area requirements of this chapter for lots in the district, the
