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
This property is part of Sunset View, platted in 1954. According to records supplied by Carver
County, this home was constructed in 1960 prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. The
existing 22 foot by 28 foot detached garage, does not meet the 30 foot front yard setback
currently required by ordinance.
......... ir:7 "-r "w
Garage at 40 Hill Street
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing garage and reconstruct a 27' x 28' or 756 sq. ft.
detached garage in the same location. The garage is proposed to maintain a 5 foot
nonconforming front yard setback and a 17 foot side yard setback. (A 10 foot side yard setback
is required.)
The subject property is approximately 37,700 sq. ft. in area (20,000 sq. ft. is required). It is an
average of 71.5 feet in width (90 feet required) and 528 feet in depth.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a 27 foot variance from the 30 foot front yard setback for the
reconstruction of a 2 stall garage. The existing garage was constructed at a 5 foot front yard
setback. The applicant seeks to maintain that nonconforming setback. However, the zoning
ordinance requires the setback be measured from the eave. The eave is two feet, thus the 27 foot
variance.
The applicant's pick-up truck does not fit into the existing garage due to the truck's height and
length. That is the reason for the additional 5 feet of depth. Staff can support the variance
because the vehicle to be stored in the garage is 22 feet in length. After performing research,
staff found that a few pick-up trucks are over 20 feet in length. Although the additional depth
will increase the nonconformity of the structure, it is not logical to build a garage that cannot
accommodate vehicles. The additional 5 feet will allow 2.5 feet of clearance in front of and to
the rear of the pick-up truck.
Staff has reviewed locating the garage on the site differently, that is, positioning it so the doors
face Hill Street. However that will reduce the parking area currently on site. Also, shifting the
garage to the north (to the embankment) will alter existing drainage patterns.
Site Characteristics
The topography of the site limits the buildable area to such an extent that a variance is needed to
construct a garage. The existing garage location is limited by the 30 foot setback and 26 percent
slope just to the north. There is approximately 40 feet from the property line that abuts Hill
Street to the slope.
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. Currently, a
single family dwelling with a two-stall garage is on site.
Reasonable Use
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. The property owner has a reasonable use of the site, however, the garage needs to be
reconstructed because of its deterioration and to accommodate a pick-up truck. It is illogical to
construct a garage that cannot accommodate a personal vehicle.

Nonconforming Setback
The existing garage maintains a nonconforming 5 foot from yard setback. The zoning ordinance
permits a nonconforming structure to be maintained or repaired but only to 50 percent of its
value. (The garage is being rebuilt so a variance is required.) 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 does not meet the required 30 foot
front yard setback and will expand the garage area at the nonconforming setback. However,
rebuilding the same 22 foot deep garage will not meet required needs.
Neighborhood Setbacks
Staff performed a visual survey of the surrounding properties on Hill Street and determined that
only one of homes meets the required front yard setback. Approving this variance will not create
a new neighborhood setback.
In 1985, three variances were granted for the construction of a single stall detached garage at 20
Hill Street. The most notable variance was to allow the garage to maintain a 6 foot front yard
setback because of the topography of the site.
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. The applicant indicated to staff that the
proposed garage will have 2 foot eaves, thus the 27 foot variance.
Staff recommend~ approval of the 27 foot variance. The applicant has demonstrated a hardship
due to the unique physical constraints of the site.
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 its 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 these criteria.
Flynn Variance
December 1, 1999
Page 5
Finding: The literal enforcement of the ordinance creates a hardship because the
topography of the site dictates where a garage can be located. Also, the existing garage has
been in this location for nearly 40 years. Approving the variance will increase the
nonconformity of the setback, but it will not depart downward from pre-existing standards.
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 many
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 new garage will increase the value of the property, however, staff does not
believe that is the sole reason for the request.
d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding: The garage was constructed prior to the ordinance, so the hardship is not self-
created. Additionally, the topography limits the location of any garage.
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.
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.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission approves Variance #99-20 for a 27 foot variance from the 30 foot front
yard setback for the reconstruction of a detached garage."

Dear Members of the Chanhassen Planning Commission,
}40V 01 1999
Thank you for considering my request for a variance to the property at 40 Hill
Street. My name is Bob Flynn. I am purchasing the above property and plan to take
occupancy with my family on November 27, 1999. I will not be able to put the existing
garage to reasonable use because my vehicle can not fit in it. The existing garage door is
not high enough and the garage is not deep enough to fit my vehicle. I would like to tear
down the existing garage and build a new one that is the same width but deeper, with a
higher garage door that will accommodate my vehicle. The existing garage is non-
compliant as the front setback is only five feet instead of the required thirty feet. To build
the new garage thirty feet back from the property line would cause undue hardship
because it would require building on a hill (see plot plan and elevation). I did not create
this hardship as the hill was always there. Therefore I would like to build the new garage
in the same location as the existing one which is the reason I am applying for a variance.
Granting this variance would blend with the pre-existing standards of the
neighborhood. Two of my immediate neighbors have garages that are five feet or less from
their front property line (see photos). One of the neighbors was granted a variance for
their garage. This proposal would not be injurious to the neighborhood. Rather it would
be an improvement as the existing garage is deteriorated and the electrical wiring is not up
to code. The proposed variation would not impair an adequate supply of light or air to
adjacent properties or increase the danger of fire or public safety. Building this new garage
should increase the value of the surrounding properties as the new garage will not have the
deficiencies of the existing one.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
Robert Flynn

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-
forming 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, intensi~Scation, replacement, structural change, or relo-
cation of any nonconforming 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.

(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, s/gus, odors, number of employees,
and other factors deemed relevant by the city.

(fl 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. Noncon.form~,~g 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 specifically 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
