hereby grants the following variance:
The City Council approves Variance #06-04 for a 22.5-foot front yard setback
variance, a 15.8-foot front yard setback variance and a 2.39% hard surface
coverage variance for the construction of a modified three-stall garage on a lot
zoned Single Family Residential (RSF).
2. Propertv. The variance is for property situated in the City of Chanhassen, Carver
County, Minnesota, and legally described as follows: .

3. Conditions. The variance approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. Tree protection fencing must be properly installed at the edge of construction
and extended completely around the tree at the greatest distance possible.
This must be done prior to any construction activities and remain installed
until all construction is completed.
2. To retain soil moisture in the remaining root area, wood chip mulch must be
applied to a depth of 4 - 6 inches, but no deeper, over all the root area.
3. Roots closest to the tree should be cut by hand or a vibratory plow to avoid
ripping or tearing the roots.
4. The elevation of the garage wall closest to the tree must be at grade. This
means the opposing wall will either need a retaining wall or a foundation wall
due to the cut into the slope necessary to create a level floor.
5. No equipment or materials may be stored within the protected root area.
