SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Request for relief from 30-foot front yard setback requirement for an
existing four-stall garage and relief from the 1,000 square-foot detached accessory structure restriction.
Staff is recommending denial of the request.
The applicant appeared before the Planning Commission on April 4, 2006 for a similar variance request
which was denied. The current request is different from the previous request in that the applicant has
agreed to remove two additional existing accessory structures.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the proposed
project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a relatively high
level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established
standards. This is a quasi judicial decision.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The applicant is requesting an after-the-fact Variance for relief from the 30-foot front yard setback
requirement for an existing four-stall garage, which is located 22 feet from the front property line, and relief
from the 1,000 square-foot detached accessory structure restriction in RSF District to permit 4,917 square
feet of accessory structures. The site is located north of Highway 7 and west of Church Road at 3891
West 62nd Street. Access to the site is gained via West 62nd Street.
APPLICABLE REGUATIONS
Sec. 20-615. Lot requirements and setbacks.
(6) The setbacks are as follows:
a. For front yards, 30 feet.
Sec. 20-904. Accessory structures.
(1) In the RSF and R-4 Districts accessory structures shall not exceed 1,000 square feet.
DIVISION 4. NONCONFORMING USES
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 nonconforming use,
building, or structure; and
(3) To encourage the elimination of nonconforming uses, lots, and structures or reduce their impact
on adjacent properties.
BACKGROUND
The subject property was created as part of the Schmid's Acre Tracts subdivision which was recorded in
1913. The applicant states that the property has been in the family for four generations and has maintained
an agricultural use for that long. In 1970, when the first Chanhassen Zoning Ordinance was adopted, the
subject property was given a zoning designation of Single-Family Residential. The agricultural use has not
changed and precedes the existence of current zoning ordinances and is, therefore, a legal nonconforming
use.
In January of2004, it came to the attention of the City that the applicant had built three detached accessory
structures on the property without building permits: a 995 square-foot four-stall garage (marked A on
graphic below), a 526 square-foot "loafing shed" (marked B), and a 466 square-foot "machine storage
shed" (marked C). Together these buildings total 1,987 square feet of detached accessory structures that
have been built without a permit.
The applicant appeared before the Planning Commission on April 4, 2006 for a similar variance request
which was denied. The current request is different from the previous request in that the applicant has
agreed to remove two additional existing accessory structures. The two storage sheds to be removed are
located to the south of the principal structure. They are 216 square feet and 227 square feet in area
respectively for a total of 443 square feet of accessory structure to be removed.

There are three single family homes located directly to the east of the subject property. Two of the
neighboring properties are 1 acre in area; the other is 0.75 acres in area. The area to the south of the subject
property has been platted as Hidden Creek Meadows containing 21 single-family residential lots that are
currently being developed. If the subject property is ever developed, it is intended to connect Pipewood
Lane in Hidden Creek Meadows with West 62nd Street via the subject property.
ANALYSIS

Planning Case #06-23
Jltl18 2(} July 10, 2006
Page 4
1,000 Square-Foot Accessory Structure Restriction
The subject property lies within the RSF district and is, therefore, subject to a maximum 1,000 square-foot
accessory structure restriction. However, the subject property has a legal nonconforming agricultural use
and several detached accessory structures. Residential properties in the A2 and RR districts do not have an
accessory structure restriction as the RSF district does, but are limited to a maximum 20% hard surface
coverage.
The applicant owns a number of horses. Due to the age and poor conditions of existing structures sheltering
these horses, the City encouraged the applicant to provide the horses with better shelter. Following the
City's request, the applicant pulled a building permit to erect a 1,200 square-foot pole barn on the property.
Approval of the building permit for the pole barn was contingent upon removal of five accessory structures
comprising 1,199 square feet. The City signed an agreement with the applicant stating that the five
structures would be removed. As security for the agreement, the City is holding a $5,000 escrow. Since the
square footage of structures being removed equals that of the new pole barn the City has requested be
constructed, the City approved the building permit for the pole barn since this improves conditions for the
horses on the site.
The applicant has also agreed to remove two storage sheds (pictured below), located south of the principal
structure, contingent upon approval of this variance request.
There are currently thirteen detached accessory structures on the subject property totaling 6,566 square feet.
With the removal of seven of these structures the property will contain six structures totaling 4,917 square
feet. This amount exceeds the RSF 1,000 square-foot accessory structure restriction by 3,917 square feet
and is nonconforming. Chanhassen City Code does not permit the intensification of nonconformities. By
building additional accessory structures (A, B and C) without a permit, the applicant intensified the existing
nonconforming square footage of accessory structures by 1,987 square feet. City Code encourages the
elimination or reduction of impacts of nonconforming uses.

Front Yard Setback Variance
The applicant is requesting an after-the-fact variance from the 30-foot front yard setback requirement for
an existing garage that is setback 22 feet from the front property line which fronts on West 62nd Street.
The existing right-of-way for West 62nd Street lying within Chanhassen is 18.5 feet wide per the survey.
The right-of-way within the City of Shorewood is 40 feet wide. West 62nd Street lies within Shorewood.
Staff is not aware of any plans to widen West 62nd Street.
By providing a 30-foot setback, the applicant would reduce the likelihood of damage to the garage
should a vehicle veer off West 62nd Street. The applicant has a short boulder wall approximately two or
three feet in height on the south side of West 62n Street which provides a physical barrier between the
subject property and passing traffic.

The small porch on the northern elevation of the house, and a large tree in that vicinity, has been
sketched on the survey by the applicant. Due to these features' proximity to the four-stall garage, it
appears that there may be merit to the applicant's claim that a small commuter bus would have difficulty
maneuvering between the house and the garage if the garage met the 30-foot front yard setback
requirement. However, if the garage maintained a 30-foot setback there would still be enough space for
the commuter bus to make a three-point turn pulling up to the north side of the house, then backing up
and exiting the property.
FINDINGS
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend and the City Council shall not grant a
variance unless they find the following facts:
1. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause undue hardship. For purposes of the
definition of undue hardship, 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 in developed neighborhoods preexisting standards exist. Variances
that blend with these preexisting standards without departing downward from them meet these
criteria.
Finding: The literal enforcement of this chapter would not cause undue hardship. The subject
property has maintained a preexisting agricultural use since before current ordinances were
adopted. The applicant would be able to maintain the agricultural use without variances to allow
the continued use of the three accessory structures in question.
2. That 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 that lie
within the Single-Family Residential District, however, not to agricultural lands.
3. That 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 improvements increase the value of the property.
4. That the alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding: Construction of the three accessory structures was completed without a building permit;
this constitutes a self-created hardship.
5. That 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 of land is located.
Finding: The granting of a variance may be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located due to the nearness of the
garage to the public street.

6. That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply oflight and air to adjacent property
or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or decrease visibility or site distances,
or increases 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 oflight 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.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff and Planning Commission recommend that the Planning Oammissi0n City Council adopt the
following motion:
"The Planning C@mmissi@n City Council denies the variance for a 22-foot front yard setback for an
existing four-stall garage and relief from the 1,000 square-foot detached accessory structure restriction in
the Single-Family Residential (RSF) District at 3891 West 62nd Street based on the findings of fact in the
staff report and the following:
1. The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship.
2. The applicant has reasonable use of the property.
3. The applicant will be able to continue the nonconforming agricultural use without the three storage
buildings which were constructed without building permits.
The Planning C0mmissi0n City Council orders the applicant to demolish and permanently remove the
three storage buildings."
Should the Planning C0mmissi0n City Council choose to approve both requests, staff recommends the
Planning Commission City Council adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Cemmissien City Council approves the variance for a 22-foot front yard setback for an
existing four-stall garage and relief from the 1,000 square-foot detached accessory structure restriction in
the Single-Family Residential (RSF) District to permit 4,917 square feet of detached accessory structures at
3891 West 62nd Street based on the findings of fact in the staff report with the following conditions:
1. Building permits for the four-stall garage, loafing shed and machine storage shed must be obtained
and all must comply with the Minnesota State Building Code.
2. No new accessory structures or additions to existing accessory structures shall be permitted."
The Planning C@mmissi@n City Council has numerous options for alternatives to either of these
recommendations that would permit the applicant to retain use of one or two of these structures but not
all three. If the applicant is granted use of any of these three structures, staff recommends a condition be
added stating:

Re: Application of Gary Carlson and Megan Moore
Case No. 06~12
To Whom It May Concern:
During the passage of time since Mr. Carlson and Ms. Moore were in front of the
Planning Commission to consider their request for the granting of a variance frOIn the 30 foot
front yard $etback for the existing fO\li'.stall garage and relief from the 1,000 square foot
detached accessory strUcture restriction, we have had additional time to reflect upon the
request and make certain other determinations of fact.
In brief, we verily believe that it is in the best interest of the City of Chanhassen, its
citizens and the applicant if their request would be granted. The reasons are: (1) that the
relief requested is relatively insignificant in comparison to the money, effort and harm to the
subject propertY resulting frqm the strict enforl;emeIll of the zonil\ll regulations; (2) that it is
to the benefit of the City of Chanhassen and the residents that this property continue to be
used for its present less intense u~ as opposed to developing fully in accordance with the
subdivision and zoning regulations of the City of Chanhassen; and (3) there are ample
reasons for the granting of the requested variances without setting any precedences.
AttaChed please find a copy of a drawing of a portion of the subject property showing
the garage and its proximity to the actual driving surfllce of 62" Street West and a draWing
showing other properties and their location relative to 62m1 Street.
I would like to speak briefly to each ofthe two requested variances individually.

VARIANCE FROM 1.000 FOOT ACCESSORY BUILDING RESTRICTION
A brief description of the facts surrounding this request are that the applicant and the
City of Chanhassen have entered into an agreement whereby. the applicant may have 3.372
square feet of accessory structures on the subject property based upon the agreement to
remove five structures and then adding a new pole bam. The requested variance would be
requesting an additional 1,987 square feet which is the result of the four-stall garage and the
two barns put up for the horses. The two bams for the horses were added by the applicant in
response to an official of the City of Chanhassen who requested that additional shelter be
provided for the horses. The other excess square footage is a result of the garage which was
constructed by the applicant for the reasons set forth in his original application and it should
be noted that the square footage of the garage, 1012 square feet, has existed for ten years.
The 2020 land use plan has the subject property guided for "Residential-Low
Density" giving a density range of 1.2 to 4 units per acre. If the property was zoned in
accordance with the land use plan and developed within the pennitted parameters, there
could be fourteen additional single family houses, each having 1,000 square feet of accessory
structures for a total of 15,000 square feet of additional structures, or 9.641 feet in excess of
what exists today on the subject property.
If the property were developed as permitted by the regulations.of the City of
Chanhassen, there would be a significant increase in intensity of the use of the property than
as it now exists. It should not be forgotten the 5,359 square feet of accessory uses has
existed now for at least two years and some 3,371 square feet thereof has existed for in
excess of thirty-six years, all without complaint from any of the neighbors.
The above information, together with all of the facts and information as contained in
the original application for a variance would seem to indicate that the requested variance
under these circumstances is not unreasonable and is in the best interest of the City of
Chanhassen.

As to the request for a variance of 22 feet for the fc;)Ur-stall garage from the right-of-
way of 62nd Street, it would seem that there is an undue hardship if the requested variance is
not granted. The garage was built ten years ago and, admittedly, without obtaining a
building perrrlit. It seems that after ten ye~ of existence it would be irrelevant for purposes
of this discussion whether or not a building permit had been issued. The fact is that the
garage has existed for at least ten years without complaint from the neighbors and without
having any indication of displeasure from the City of Chanhassen at any time until now.

There appears.to be little harm to anyone if this condition was allowed to continue to
exist. I would suspect that without the fact that a survey was submitted, no one would have
questioned whether or not this garage was within the setback requirements. There had to be
numerous City officials to observe this garage over the last ten years and at no time did
anyone question whether or not it met any setback requirements. The building sits behind a
three foot high earthen benn and a stand of trees. To the best of our knowledge, at no time
since the garage has been built has there been any accident in this area. Ten years of
experience would indicate that it is not a hazard or safety concern.
The requested variance is only eight feet for a building which was constructed behind
a stand of trees that existed for years prior thereto and an earthen berm and was undetected
by City officials for an excess often years. It has not received one registered complaint from
any of the neighbors of which we are aware. The actual driven surface of 62QcJ Street to the
building which is 22 feet from the right-of-way is 59 feet from the structure, (See attached
drawing)
To require this structure to be removed would cost literally thousands of dollars and
move the structure so close to an existing tree that it would be extremely difficult for
emergency vehicles and/or the handicapped vehicle necessary to transport applicant's
daughter to negotiate in the area. It is only twenty feet trom the garage to the large tree. (See
attached drawing) If the garage is required to be moved eight feet, this would put the garage
only twelve feet from this large tree. There is not sufficient room between the large tree and
the house for an emergency vehicle to safely negotiate between the tree and the house. If the
garage was moved to within twelve feet of the tree, it would not be safe for an emergency
vehicle; Le., an ambulance or especially a rlre apparatus, to negotiate between the g-cU'age and
the tree.
It should be noted that there are numerous existing structures along 6200 Street,
including the hockey fence in the City park just easterly of the subject property, within the
thirty foot setback requirement. We would submit that if the applicant was making the
request now for a variance to build the garage, and given all the facts surroWlding this
request, it would not be unreasonable for the City of Chanhassen to grant the requested
variance from this setback requirem~nt.
There is little or no harm to the general public and to the City ofChanhassen for the
granting of this variance. The cost to the applicant to move the garage is extremely high in
comparison to the evil perceived by allowing the structW"e to remain.

Carlson Variance
Planning Case #06-12
Whereas the elapsed time from the :first submitted to the present has allowed more time to
consider and compromise the issues at hand.
The Carlson's and Moore's resubmit their request to consider granting their unique and
unduplicated property a variance to the front set back from 30' to 22' and a variance to
the accessory structure to an area of 4854 sq. ft.
Whereas Gary and Maureen Carlson and Megan and Alan Moore have agreed to remove
an additional preexisting sheds form their property by November 1,2006. This was
negotiated between the city and applicant. The applicant remains committed to any other
appropriate negotiations as plannIng or council may suggest. In the interest of improving
this part of our city, Mr. Carlson has already entered into agreement with the developer to
the south of our property to come on to the property by 300' to regrade and correct the
drainage from our property to the new development. We will jointly be erecting a very
nice fence for the horse pasture along our common border. This will be a further
improvement to our common view of each others property.
The agricultural use has ~n in existence for a long time and it needs improvement to its
buildings. This is not an expansion but is a variance to allow their grandfathered use to
improve itself and provide shelter and storage for our equipment. We need to be able to
Separate and house the horses which have been permitted to be on our property. Weare
taking down seven sheds and are only asking to keep the newer buildings as they were
built 13, lOand 4 years ago.
If you would simply look at the front of our property as far as set back is concerned, you
would find that the road is turning away from our property over the entire front width of
our property and at the 22' set back the road is actually the furthest from the property. So
don't look at the survey because it is misleading, the road is not parallel to the front line.
There is no way for traffic to reach our garage as there are trees and a four foot berm
between the road and the garage. Further, in looking at the lay of the lot, the placementof
the garage is where it should be. It is safely back from the road and it leaves just enough
room between the garage and the house to drive through with a hay wagon and other
trucks, Molly's handicap bus, and fire saving equipment. Furthermore, if it were back 8
feet more you could not drive in and out of the garage doors.
We are supported by our neighbors. We are not a detriment to our community. We are
improving our property for our continued agricultural use. We can never meet Rl zoning
as much as we both try. In one breath you seek accommodation with existing uses while
at the same time limiting and trying to zone us out of existence. Please let us see if there
is room to compromise and move forward.
