CAS-20_2017-20 VAR OWNER: RICK & ELIZABETH NUSTAD0-20 CHANRASSEN PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 16,2018 Chairman Aller called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Andrew Aller, Nancy Madsen, John Tietz, and Mark Randall MEMBERS ABSENT: Mark Undestad, Steve Weick STAFF PRESENT: Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director; Bob Generous, Senior Planner; and MacKenzie Walters, Planner PUBLIC PRESENT: Rick & Liz Nustad 7721 Erie Avenue OLD BUSINESS: 7721 ERIE AVENUE — VARIANCE TO BUILD A GARAGE. Walters: Thank you. This item, case 2017-20 was first heard on November 21, 2017. If appealed it would go before the City Council on February 12, 2018. This is the revised request for a garage at 7721 Erie Avenue. This is a variance request for a second driveway access, a 10 foot west front yard setback, a 5 foot rear setback and a 9 percent lot coverage variance. So just to recap the November 215 meeting, the Planning Commission requested that the applicant attempt to minimize the lot coverage associated with the variance. That they work with the Water Resource Coordinator to mitigate the impact of the proposed lot coverage. That the applicant pursue the vacation of the southern alley and that the applicant investigate the potential for using a single driveway access. The applicant worked with staff over the next month or so and came back with an attached, a proposal for an attached garage configuration which reduces the hard cover. Proposes using geogrid for the second driveway access which would reduce the amount of impervious surface. They are proposing an 8 foot in diameter rain garden to help mitigate the runoff generated by the increased hard cover and they are working with the engineering department to vacate the southern alleyway. They did talk to their builder and they do not believe it would be feasible to use a single driveway access just given how long the fire truck is and how tight the garage space is. So the location is the same as before. It's still zoned residential single family. Site conditions are currently as they were. The property has 28.3 percent lot coverage. The lot is 8,529 square feet. The north setback is met and the existing setback for the front is 20 feet and there is the shed to the south that is within the south setback and rear yard setback. The applicant has taken, as I mentioned, every step they could to minimize the extent of variance required to house a fire truck. I decided to put two side by side here so you can see the difference between the initial and the revised proposal. I mentioned that they'll be using a pervious paver driveway with geogrid instead of a concrete driveway. The Planning Commission — January 16, 2018 house as you can see has been moved up which removes about 100 square feet of impervious patio and then the rain garden would be located here and this green area is the about 460 square feet of lot area that would be added by vacating the alley to the south. And of course adding that extra 8 feet means they would no longer need a southern setback variance. This table shows the difference between the initial and revised proposal. The biggest difference is, are in terms of the lot coverage. The use of the vacation of the alleyway would reduce the lot coverage from the proposed 37.4 percent you saw on the 21' down to 34 percent and using pervious pavers for the driveway would reduce it to 30.9 percent impervious surface and as mentioned they are proposing the installation of a rain garden to help absorb as much of that runoff as possible. That being said it would still be a significant increase from the property's current 28.3 percent lot coverage. Staff looking at it assessment is pretty similar. The neighborhood does have the history of street flooding. There is inadequate storm water treatment. The applicant does currently reasonable use of the property with a single family home, two car garage, patio, storage shed. Staff is still concerned about the precedent of allowing variances for the storage of large vehicles. That being said, as was mentioned, the applicant has made a good faith effort to address the Planning Commission's comments and concerns. This certainly represents the minimum possible variance for storing the fire truck. Unfortunately because of concerns staff still recommends denial unless the Planning Commission feels the revised proposal has sufficiently addressed the concerns raised during the November 21' meeting. We do have a motion both for denial and approval prepared. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have at this time. Aller: Any questions at this time for staff9 What's the process that would need to be taken or is being undertaken to vacate that easement? Walters: Yep my understanding is they have applied for the vacation. I believe we got the, the one thing we were waiting on before we put a date on it was the Gopher One locates which they sent to us last week. I'm working, going to work with our engineering department to go over those but they are well on their way to vacating. There's just a couple steps they would need to do and I believe it's penciled in for a February date if we can get the Gopher One stuff taken care of, and again they did have the crew out there and it was marked so they are pursuing that and we don't foresee any obstacles to that. Aller: And is there any, it's not a requirement now but it could be made a requirement to this variance that that be done in order for the variance to move forward correct? Walters: It is currently listed as a condition for approval that before a building permit be issued the vacation be completed. Aller: Okay. Any additional questions based on that? Tietz: No. Looks like a good solution. K Planning Commission — January 16, 2018 Aller: Alright. We'll go ahead and have the applicant come forward. If you could state your names and address for the record again that would be great. Rick Nustad: It's Rick and Liz Nustad, 7721 Erie Avenue, Chanhassen. Aller: Welcome again. Liz Nustad: Thank you. Rick Nustad: We are the owners. Anyways; just an update. We met with Terry Jeffery from the Riley -Purgatory watershed district on December 7 1h . He came out and we walked the yard and he was pretty nonchalant about it. We have, the yard drains backward towards this alleyway and he said basically we could rototill up about an 8 foot diameter chunk of land where the shed would be moved. That would suffice and I asked him about rain barrels and he said unless you have, or he asked do you have a use for the water and I said no. Like a garden and he didn't see any issues at all. He said he was going to contact someone at the City which may have been MacKenzie about so. And we made a work ticket for Gopher State on December 19' and they came out, bear with me here. I have here the completed sip off. Let's see here, from Gopher State showing the only people that had to mark anything was CenturyLink. Everything else was no conflict and I'm pretty sure that the City was out and marked on this alleyway where I guess it's a sewer that goes back there. So that was done. And we did file for the vacate and paid the fee. And we did come in with our geo pavers and turned in the spec sheet to MacKenzie so he could see that. We did want to show up tonight with a drawing of, street view of our house with the new attachment but Boyer Construction was unable to get that to us unfortunately. We did see a preliminary drawing and it does look very nice. And we do have the completed final drawing from our survey company. That does show the alleyway and there's two, where they painted on the ground two lines fi-orn CenturyLink that actually go off to the south of us and that is really all we have. Aller: Great, thank you. Any questions of the applicant at this time? We're all familiar with Mr. Jeffery. He's a very accommodating individual and low key and did he happen to raise his eye brow at all? Rick Nustad: Eye brow, we missed. Allen It's a tell. Rick Nustad: But we do have a little better plan versus ... 8 foot diameter circle. He can come up with something. Aller: Sounds like it. Thank you very much. Rick Nustad: Thank you for your time. Planning Commission — January 16, 2018 Liz Nustad: Yep, thank you. Aller: Okay, we don't have a public hearing on this item as it's old business. We've had a public hearing on a prior occasion. They were asked to work with the City and come up with a hopefully better solution and we have a plan before us so thoughts. Randall: I'm impressed that they did it. It looks nice that they went through and came up with a little bit better variance than what we had before so. Tietz: Yeah, I agree. I think it's a great solution for the conditions and the situation that we reviewed the first time. I think it's going to be, even though it is a larger garage than is normal I think under the conditions and in the neighborhood it works very well so thank you. Aller: Alright. Madsen: Although I appreciate all the extra work they've gone into I do have a concern that it would establish the precedent of needing a storage space for larger vehicles to justify exceeding the lot coverage so I still do have that concern. Tietz: Can you make a motion? Aller: Yeah, I can't make a motion but I'll invite a motion, whether it's for or against modified. Randall: I'll make it for. I just want to say one more thing. I really appreciate that they went through and worked with it on, that was nice you know so. They've followed a lot of our recommendations on it. The precedent obviously is an issue but at least they went back and made some changes there to help with it so that's all. Tietz: Well and I recall we had positive comments from the neighbors the first time around so even though it is a little atypical there was not push back from the neighbors who spoke at the public hearing. Randall: I'll make a motion. The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a 10 foot west front yard setback, a 5 foot rear yard setback, a 9 percent lot coverage and a second driveway access variance for construction of the detached garage subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Discussions. Aller: I have a motion. Do I have a second? Tietz: Second. 4 Planning Commission — January 16, 2018 Aller: Having a motion and a second. Any further discussion? I will just say that I share your concerns regarding the, regarding a precedent for purposes of allowing a variance for this type of stated use and it is a substantial change in the property. However I think variances are taken on a case by case basis. Again I'm hoping that it doesn't turn out to be a precedent and that we don't hear a lot of it and my goal would be to limit those to those that we feel are reasonable use of the property consistent with the neighborhood and as Commissioner Tietz said the neighborhood has come in in favor of this particular modification so in that factor I think that meets the requirements for me to satisfy myself with the fact that it would be an appropriate use of the property under these conditions and circumstances which would allow for the variance so I'll be voting for it. Any additional comments? Randall moved, Tietz seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a 10 foot west front yard setback, a 5 foot rear yard setback, a 9 percent lot coverage and a second driveway access variance for construction of a detached garage subject to the following conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decisions: The applicant must apply for and receive a building permit. 2. The garage must be architecturally compatible with existing house and match color. 3. Vacation of the southern alley must be completed before the building permit application is submitted. 4. The second driveway shall be constructed using a pervious paver/geogrid system, the design of which shall be approved by the Water Resource Coordinator. The system must be installed by a certified installer. 5. The applicant shall construct an 8 foot in diameter rain garden in the southeast comer of the property, the design and installation of which shall be approved by the Water Resource Coordinator. 6. The property's lot cover may not exceed 3,066 square feet, of which no more than 2,786 square feet may be impervious surface. All voted in favor, except Commissioner Madsen who opposed, and the motion carried with a vote of 3 to 1. Aller: So the motion carries 3 to 1. That is not a super majority. Aanenson: That's correct so. Generous: It's 75 percent of those present. Planning Commission — January 16, 2018 Aanenson: Yeah. Generous: So it would be the final determination if it's appealed. Aller: So it would move forward. Aanenson: No, it's final unless it's appealed. Yes. 75 percent of those in attendance. Aller: Oh that's right. We only have 4 people here. Aanenson: You only have 4 people tonight so. Aller: So the motion carries and we move onto item 2. Thank you so much. And these items will be for public hearings. PUBLIC HEARING: 1651 MOTORPLEX COURT — REGISTERED LAND SURVEY (SUBDIVISION). Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller, commissioners. As you stated this is a public hearing to review a registered land survey and an amendment to a conditional use permit. The property's located at 1651 Motorplex Court. Additionally there's a second building on the south side that's 1650 Motorplex Court as part of, it was approved previously with the conditional use permit and site plan review. This item will go to the City Council on February 12, 2018. The applicant is J&R Properties Limited Liability Company. Mr. LaMettry is the owner of that and he's here tonight. Again this is 1651 Motorplex Court. It's a unique property. It was, there were two properties as a part of the Motorplex development and as the Motorplex expanded over time it took pieces of this parcel away from it. When the LaMettry's came in for site plan review, as a condition of approval he was to dedicate the land with the Bluff Creek corridor on the back side. There's a wetland complex to the City. When he tried to record that deed transferring the property to the City of Chanhassen Carver County said no, they wouldn't accept it. We were going to do a lot line adjustment and attach it to land that the City currently owns west of this parcel and told the owner that he would need to do a registered land survey to clean up all the exceptions from the descriptions. If you look at the registered land survey it's a whole page of metes and bounds descriptions which is pretty confusing. This property is zoned industrial office park. It's 24 acres in size. There are two building sites with existing buildings on the east side of this property right off Audubon and Motorplex Court which is a private street providing access to those buildings as well as to Audubon Motorplex. The registered land survey would create 3 tracts. Tract A is the property that contains the wetlands and the Bluff Creek primary zone on the west side. And then Tracts B and C on the east side contained two buildings that the applicant has constructed on there. Those two lots both meet the, exceed the minimum requirements of the IOP district. Staff is recommending approval of the registered land survey subject to the two conditions that they dedicate the land and that they memorialize the easement 6 0 CITY OF CHANHASSEN PC D#: January 16, 2018 CC DATE: February 12, 2018 C-3 REVIEW DEADLINE: February 13,2018 CASE #: 2017-20 11.11 M LVI PROPOSED MOTION: "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies a 10 -foot west front yard setback, a- 4.3 feet south ffent yafd setbaek, a five-foot rear yard setback, a 42-4 9 percent lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions." &a - Or OF<Gl "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a 10 -foot west front yard setback, a five-foot rear yard setback, a 9 percent lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions." I I On November 21, 2017, the Planning Commission tabled the applicant's initial variance request. They requested the applicant return with a revised proposal that reduced the amount of impervious surface associated with the proposal. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a variance from their property's 30 -foot required front yard setbacks, 10 foot rear yard setback, 25 percent lot coverage limit, and one driveway per residential parcel restriction in order to build a defaebed garage to house a 1969 Mack Firetruck.

The applicant is proposing the use of geogrid pavers for the driveway and the installation of a rain garden to help mitigate the increased lot coverage. They have also switched to an attached garage configuration and have requested that the city vacate the alley to south to remove the southern setback variance and further reduce the required lot coverage 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. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PROPOSAL/SUNIMARY The homeowners' own a 1969 Mack Firetruck which they use for parades in this and surrounding communities. They are currently storing the firetruck off site at an outdoor storage facility; however, they would like to store it indoors and restore it. Due to the size of the firetruck, their existing 18.7 foot by 22.5 -foot garage cannot accommodate it, and they would need to construct a 20 foot by 35 -foot garage and second driveway to facilitate on site storage. They are proposing the smallest possible structure that will accommodate the fire truck. The applicant has stated that they intend pursue the vacation of the southern alleyway, use geogrid for the second driveway, and install a rain garden to ninimize the impact that garage will have upon the property's stormwater management. The aDt)licant has noted that their lot was Dlated before NAM 0i (D k e7o sim's" 11-- Fot--: foil I - r. current zoning requirements were enacted and that it is significantly smaller than the minimum size required for lots zoned Single Family Residential District. They have stated that the substandard nature of their lot is the primary reason why they require a variance in order to construct the proposed accessory structure. The property owners have expressed their intention to construct a detaebed attached garage that matches the existing house and fits into the existing character of the neighborhood. They feel that there are other similarly sized garages in the area, and believe that their neighbors are supportive of the proposed variance.

Access and Driveways BACKGROUND County records indicate that the home was built in 1959. The city does not have any information on this property prior to 1979. On May 28, 1999, the current owner bought the house. On November 21, 2017, the Planning Contmission tabled the applicant's initial variance request. They requested the applicant return with a revised proposal that reduced the amount of impervious surface associated with the proposal. SITE CONDITIONS The property and surrounding neighborhood is zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF). This zoning district requires lots to be a minimum of 15,000 square feet, have front yard setbacks of 30 feet, rear yard setbacks of 30 feet, side yard setbacks of 10 feet, and limits lot coverage to a maximum of 25 percent of lot area. Residential structures are limited to 35 feet in height. Accessory structures are limited to 20 feet in height, may not occupy more than 30 percent of the area of a rear yard, may not exceed 1,000 square feet, and must be located within the buildable lot area or meet stipulated accessory structure setbacks. The lot is an 8,529 square foot lot that currently has 2,417 square feet of impervious surface resulting in 28.3 percent lot coverage. The lot technically has 3 front yard setbacks due to a plated alleyway to the south, even though the alley is not physically present. The existing house is setback 20 feet from the western front lot line and the existing attached garage is setback 25.1 feet from the western front lot line. The house and attached garage are substantially in compliance with all other setbacks. There is also an existing shed which is setback approximately six feet from the rear property line and approximately 17 feet from the southern Planning Commission 0 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 January 16, 2018 Page 4 of 10 front property line. The location of the house, attached garage, shed, and site's lot coverage are considered nonconforming uses. The applicant has requested that the City vacate the alleyway to the south. Vacating a portion of the alley will allow the proposed structure to meet the 30 -foot south front setback, and add 481 square feet to the lot's area. NEIGHBORHOOD St. Hubertus/City lots of Chanhassen The plat for this area was recorded in October of 1887. Residential lots in this neighborhood vary between .16 and .39 acres. The larger lots are the results of lots being split and merged to adjoining properties after the original plat was filed. The lots retaining their original dimensions appear to average around .20 acres. Due to the predominately small lot sizes and age of the structures, detached garages are common, and many properties in the neighborhood do not meet the required setbacks and exceed 25 percent lot coverage.

The existing house has a 20 -foot setback from Erie Ave and its attached garage has a 25 -foot setback. The proposed detaeked garage would have a 20 -foot setback from Erie Ave. Since the garage needs to be 35 feet deep to accommodate the fire truck and the lot is only sixty feet deep it would be impossible design a garage that could store the fire truck while meeting the required front yard setback. Many of the lots in the St. Hubertus subdivision do not meet the city's minimum RSF lot dimensions of 90 feet of frontage and 125 feet of depth. Of the 47 properties within 500 feet of 7721 Erie Avenue, 3 4 have applied for and received variances from the required front yard setbacks.

The proposed detaebed garage would be setback five feet from the rear lot line. An existing 97 square -foot shed is setback approximately six feet from the rear lot line, which the applicant plans to remove as part of this Planning Commission 6 7721 Erie Avenue Variance - Planning Case 2017-20 January 16, 2018 Page 6 of 10 project. Due to the size of the firetruck and narrowness of the lot, it is not possible to construct a garage that could accommodate the firetruck within the required setbacks. The city requires rear yard setbacks and limits the percent of the rear yard which can be occupied by an accessory structure in order to ensure a minimum amount of greenspace and balance the interests of the property owner with that of their neighbors. In this instance, the orientation of the neighboring houses means that the proposed location of the detaehe garage would not be expected to negatively impact the adjacent properties. Many properties in this neighborhood have been unable construct accessory structures that meet the required setbacks. Of the 47 properties within 500 feet, five have been granted side and/or rear setback variances for the construction or expansion of garages. %41 kZ T No? L ALLEY 60.12 Impervious Su��ce The city limits the amount of lot cover which can be installed on a property in order to prevent stormwater issues and negative impacts to the surrounding properties caused by increased volumes and rates of runoff during rain events. The city's engineering staff has noted that this area of the city does not meet current stonriwater treatment standards and that it has a history of street flooding. They have stated that allowing the property to further increase its lot coverage will increase stormwater runoff in an under -treated neighborhood that has known flooding. The proposed plan would increase the property's lot coverage to -3-7-.4 34 percent by adding an additional 7-7-3 700 square feet of impervious surface, 280 square feet of pervious pavers. The property currently exceeds the RSF district's limit of 25 percent lot coverage by 285 square feet, 3.3 percent.

The appheant's proposal would increase the property's lot area by 481 square feet, remove a 97 square foot shed, and remove 234 square feet of patio; however, constructing the garage will increase the property's impervious surface coverage to 30.9 percent, a 2.6 percent increase. The proposal also includes a 280 square foot pervious paver driveway which results in a total lot coverage of 34 percent, including both pervious and impervious surfaces. The applicant is proposing installing an 8 -foot diameter rain garden in the southeast corner of the property in order to help mitigate the increased impervious surface. The applicant has noted that their 8,529 square foot lot is significantly smaller than the 15,000 square feet required in the RSF district, and that applying the 25 percent lot coverage standard to such a small lot significantly restricts their ability to improve the property. While this is true, the property currently has a single family home, a two -car garage, and a patio with 28.3 percent allowed Planning Commission 0 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 January 16, 2018 Page 7 of 10 lot coverage due to its nonconforming use status.

Second Driveway Access The city limits residential properties to a single driveway access in order to prevent a high density of driveway accesses along roads serving residential districts and the 2030 Comprehensive 1- lan espouses a mnihinun spaung of least 40 feet between driveways. These limits exist to prevent possible public safety and traffic issues that can emerge from a high concentration of closely spaced driveways, and also from aesthetic considerations involving insuring adequate greenspace and providing for an appealing viewscape in residential neighborhoods. A final reason for the existence of the one driveway ordinance is that it deters individuals firom using large detached accessory structures to house home occupations in violation of city ordinances. The applicant's proposed use of the detoehed garage is not anticipated to create public safety or traffic issues, and the storage of the firetruck within the garage would preclude its being used to house a business; however, the requested variance would allow for that structure and its driveway to exist in perpetuity. Permitting a second driveway access to an oversized detaebed garage addition could lead to future issues with businesses being run from the garage, and establishes a precedent of allowing multiple driveways to provide access to detaehW effectively separate garages. A visual survey of aerial photos found two properties in the St. Hubertus subdivision with a nonconforming second driveway access. The applicant has stated that due to the size and turning radius of the firetruck and tightness of the proposed garage is not possible to maneuver the firetruck into the proposed garage via the existing driveway access.

Impact on Neighborhood St. Hubertus is one of the oldest subdivions in the city and aerial photos show that many, if not most, of the properties in the neighborhood do not conform to current setback or hardcover standards. Staff is aware of eigM nine separate variances being granted to properties within 500 feet of the applicants, and six of those where for the construction of garages; however, the garages variances were granted to properties that either did not have existing garages or which wished to expand single stall garages to two stall garages.

Staff also found two single stall garages positioned roughly parallel to the principle structures front yard setback, and two properties where the principle structure is setback behind the detached garage. *Aile the distanee of the proposed ge&age fi;eFA the stivet would not be atypieal of the afea lier- would the pfesenee ef a deteehed gafage, stag raould enly find two ether- pr-epel4ies -Y�'ith both an attaehed and detaehed gafage. in beth eases, the gafages wer-e sefved by a single drivewayr. The garage's proposed distance from the street is not atypical for the area; however, the size and orientation of the garage is. The single instance of a similarly sized and situated garage is a standalone garage without an associated home. This is a non -conforming use in a residential district. If the garage was designed and constructed in the manner proposed by the applicant its appearance would not be out of character for the neighborhood; however, the presence of multiple garages and driveway accesses is not typical for the area. St. Hubertus Planimettic (Revised) Note: Darker red is existing buildings, lighter red is existing driveway, darker blue is proposed garage, lighter blue is proposed driveway, and red X is the shed to be removed. SUMMARY The applicant wishes to construct a detoebed-garage which would be located within multiple required yard setbacks, requires a second driveway access, and would increase the property's Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance – Planning Case 2017-20 January 16, 2018 Page 9 of 10 --.—S stiffeee lot coverage beyond what is permitted in its zoning district. The purpose of the garage would be to house an antique firetruck. The small size of the applicants' lot severely restricts their ability to improve the property. The applicant currently has reasonable use of the property and many lots zoned for single-family detached homes cannot accommodate the storage of large pieces of equipment. Staff is concerned that granting this variance will establish the precedent that needing storage space for large vehicles (recreation vehicles, boats, etc.) justifies exceeding lot coverage limits and required setbacks. Even with the use of pervious pavers, the proposed project will increase the property's impervious surface and stormwater runoff in a neighborhood with a history of street flooding and allowing a second driveway access would be inconsistent with what is already present within the neighborhood. Staff recognizes that the applicant has taken multiple steps to reduce the impact of the proposed variance. They are pursuing the vacation of the alley to the south, instatling a rain garden, and have switched to an attached configuration and permeable paver driveway to lower the amount of impervious surface required. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the request for a I O -foot west front yard setback, a 4.3 feet south &ent yar-d setbaek, a five-foot rear yard setback, a 4,14 9 percent lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions." If the Planning Commission determines that the applicant's revised proposal sufficiently addresses the concerns raised during the November 21, 2017 meeting, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the variance request for a 10 -feet west front yard setback, a 5 -foot rear yard setback, a 9 percent lot coverage, and second driveway access variance for the construction of a garage addition, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions: 1. The applicant must apply for and receive a building permit. 2. Garage must be architecturatly compatible with existing house and match color. 3. Vacation of southern alley must be completed before the building permit application is submitted. 4. The second driveway shal] be constructed using a pervious paver/geogrid system, the design of which shall be approved by the Water Resources Coordinator. The system must be installed by a certified installer. 5. The applicant shall construct an 8 -foot in diameter rain garden in the southeast corner of the property, the design and installation of which shall be approved by the Water Resources Coordinator. 6. The property's lot cover may not exceed 3,066 square feet, of which no more than 2,786 square feet may be impervious surface. showd the Plamling C ppr-eve the vananee rvqtiest to eenstfuet a detaebed garage t&- hease the fir-etfuek, it is r-eeemmended that the planning Cemmission adopt the fellewing metiefl- and attaebed Finding of Faet and D i i Planning Commission 0 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 January 16, 2018 Page 10 of 10 ATTACHMENTS I .

On November 21, 2017, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by published and mailed notice. The application was tabled, and the applicant submitted a revised proposal which went before the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments on January 16, 2018. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 12, Block 2, City Lots of Chanhassen 4. Variance Findings — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: It is the intent of the City Code to allow for residential homeowners to be able to store vehicles and possessions on site, and, in many instances, the City Code requires these items to be stored indoors. Construction a garage to facilitate the storage of a vehicle is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the city's zoning code. b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Finding: Due to the substandard size of the applicant's lot there is no possibility for them to construct a garage capable of housing the firetruck with the bounds established by the city's zoning code. The resident's goal of construction a single accessory structure to facilitate the storing of a collector's vehicle onsite is reasonable. 9 0 c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The desire for an expanded garage is not based upon economic considerations. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The property is a substandard lot plated in 1887. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city and garages which do not conform to the existing zoning ordinances are fairly common. Allowing the construction of the proposed garage will not significantly alter the neighborhood's character. f. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter. Finding: This does not apply to this request. 5. The planning report #2017-20, dated January 16, 2018 prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is incorporated herein. DECISION "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the variance request for a I 0 -feet west front yard setback, a 5 -foot rear yard setback, a 9 percent lot coverage, and second driveway access variance for the construction of a garage addition, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions: I .

M CITY OF CHANHASSEN Chairman 0 CITY OF CHANHASSEN 10 CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION (DENIED) IN RE: Application of Richard and Elizabeth Nustad for variance from their property's 30 -foot required front yard setback, I 0 -foot rear yard setback, 2 5 percent lot coverage limit, and one driveway per residential parcel restriction in order to build a garage on a property zoned Single Family Residential District (RSF)-Planning Case 2017-20. On November 21, 2017, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by published and mailed notice. The application was tabled, and the applicant submitted a revised proposal which went before the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments on January 16, 2018. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF) 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 12, Block 2, City Lots of Chanhassen 4. Variance Findino — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: The city regulates lot coverage in order to manage stormwater runoff. Allowing a property zoned for 25 percent impervious surface coverage to add an additional 9 percent lot coverage is not in harmony with the code's intent in limiting residential lot coverage. It is the city's intent in limiting residential properties to a single driveway access to prevent the creation of property configurations that encourage the proliferation of illegal home occupations. Permitting a large structure with an independent driveway access to be constructed in a single-family residential district is contrary to that intent. b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter. Practical, pifficulties include, but are not limited toltadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Finding: The parcel has detached single family home, two -car garage, and patio which allows for reasonable use of a property zoned for residential single-family use. The inability of the parcel to accommodate the storage of a large collector's vehicle is not a practical difficulty. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The desire for the garage is not based upon economic considerations. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The applicant purchased the firetruck subsequent to their purchase of the home. The need for a large accessory storage building on the lot is the result of their purchasing the firetruck. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: Permitting the construction of a second garage served by a second driveway access would not be in character with the surrounding neighborhood. f. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter. Finding: This does not apply to this request. 5. The planning report #2017-20, dated January 16, 2018, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is incorporated herein. DECISION "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies a 10 foot west front yard setback, a 5 foot rear yard setback, a 9 percent lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions."

This standard is in place to improve safety and reduce driveway confusion. The proposed spacing is approximately four feet between the existing driveway and the proposed driveway. This does not meet the standard set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not recommend approval of the variance for a second driveway access onto Erie Avenue. Staff has recommended the applicant tie the proposed driveway into the existing driveway, thereby only having one driveway access for the property. If the applicant incorporates this recommendation into their design, a variance for a second driveway access would not be necessary. Impervious Surface This area of Chanhassen was platted in 1889. Although some stormwater pipe was constructed in the area in the 1960's and a stormwater pond was constructed in the 1980's, there is insufficient treatment of that stormwater by current standards. This neighborhood also has a known history of street flooding. This parcel is already 3.3 percent over the maximum 25 percent hardcover allowed. The proposed garage and driveway would increase this non -conformity 12.4 percent over the allowed maximum or 37.4 percent in total. Staff does not recommend granting the hardcover variance, as this will increase stormwater runoff in an under -treated neighborhood that has known flooding.

On November 21, 2017, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by published and mailed notice. The application was tabled, and the applicant submitted a revised proposal which went before the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments on January 16, 2018. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 12, Block 2, City Lots of Chanhassen 4. Variance Findins — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: It is the intent of the City Code to allow for residential homeowners to be able to store vehicles and possessions on site, and, in many instances, the City Code requires these items to be stored indoors. Construction a garage to facilitate the storage of a vehicle is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the city's zoning code. b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Finding: Due to the substandard size of the applicant's lot there is no possibility for them to construct a garage capable of housing the firetruck with the bounds established by the city's zoning code. The resident's goal of construction a single accessory structure to facilitate the storing of a collector's vehicle onsite is reasonable. ScANNED c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The desire for an expanded garage is not based upon economic considerations. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The property is a substandard lot plated in 1887. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city and garages which do not conform to the existing zoning ordinances are fairly common. Allowing the construction of the proposed garage will not significantly alter the neighborhood's character. f. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter. Finding: This does not apply to this request. 5. The planning report #2017-20, dated January 16, 2018 prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is incorporated herein. DECISION "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the variance request for a I 0 -feet west front yard setback, a 5 -foot rear yard setback, a 9 percent lot coverage, and second driveway access variance for the construction of a garage addition, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions: I . The applicant must apply for and receive a building permit. 2. Garage must be architecturally compatible with existing house and match color. 3. Vacation of southern alley must be completed, before the building permit application is submitted. 4. The second driveway shall be constructed using a pervious paver/geogrid system, the design of which shall be approved by the Water Resources Coordinator. The system must be installed by a certified installer. 5. The applicant shall construct an 8 -foot in diameter rain garden in the southeast comer of the property, the design and installation of which shall be approved by the Water Resources Coordinator. 6. The property's lot cover may not exceed 3,066 square feet, of which no more than 2,786 square feet may be impervious surface.

Rick and Liz Nustad 11— W CHANHASSEN PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 21, 2017 Chairman Aller called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Andrew Aller, Steve Weick, Nancy Madsen, John Tietz, and Mark Randall MEMBERS ABSENT: Mark Undestad STAFF PRESENT: Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director; and MacKenzie Walters, Assistant Planner PUBLIC PRESENT: Rick & Liz Nustad Jack Atkins Curt Robinson 7721 Erie Avenue 220 West 78h Street 202 W. 72th Street PUBLIC HEARING: 7721 ERIE AVENUE: VARIANCE HARCOVER, FRONT YARD SETBACK AND REAR YARD SETBACK. Walters: This is Planning Case 2017-20. It's a request for a variance at 7721 Erie Avenue. The variance would be for a detached garage and it would be for a second driveway access, a 10 foot west front yard setback, 4.3 foot south front yard setback, a 5 foot rear yard setback and then a 12.4 percent lot coverage variance. So the location as mentioned is 7721 Erie Avenue. This property is zoned residential single family. It's located on a comer lot with a public street, Chan View, Erie Avenue and then a platted alley. What we call a paper street. So there is a public right-of-way which means that does function as a front yard setback as well so it has 3 front yard setbacks and the zoning requirements are a 15,000 square foot lot. 30 foot for any front yard setback. Limited to a single driveway access and a maximum of 25 percent lot coverage. The site is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Chanhassen. If memory serves it was platted in 1887 so the lot is what we call substandard. It's 8,529 square feet. It's currently a non- conforming use at 28.3 percent lot coverage. The northern front yard setback is currently met. The west front yard setback, the house currently has, is set back 20.7 feet and the garage then is tucked back an extra 5 feet or so from there and there's currently a non -conforming shed on the property that is 17 feet from the setback from that platted alleyway and approximately 6 feet from the rear yard setback. The applicant is proposing constructing a 20 foot by 35 foot detached garage which would be accessed by a second driveway. And this is to allow for the on site storage of a 1969 Mack fire truck. The applicant has noted that the lot is substandard. It is very difficult to improve the property within the confines of the zoning code. The existing Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 garage cannot accommodate the size of the fire truck. They've stated the proposed garage would only be used to store the vehicle. They would like to bring the truck indoors to facilitate the eventual restoration of the vehicle. They've noted that due to the age of the subdivision a lot of other properties have detached garages and encroach on the various setbacks. It is very typical to see some higher lot coverage within the subdivision as well and they have proposed architecturally designing the garage to fit into the character of the neighborhood. They would also be removing the non -conforming shed and some patio space. When staff looked it over one of our largest concerns is that this neighborhood has an existing history of street flooding. It's storm water services are currently inadequate for modem storm water treatment standards. There is concern that the increased impervious surface coverage could exacerbate this. If the variance were granted it would allow the property to exceed it's lot coverage by a little over 1,000 square feet. It would represent an increase of about 779 square feet over the current non -conformity. The property currently has a house, two car garage, patio, shed which is generally considered to be a reasonable use within a single family district. When we looked around at the Plano metrics of the neighborhood, that's this here. This shows the impervious surface. As you can see detached garages are fairly common but we see only, I was able to find 2 properties that looked to have multiple driveway accesses. I do not believe, I was not able to find any that had both detached garage and attached garage and multiple driveway accesses so this level of use would not be consistent with the neighborhood and RSF districts are not fundamentally designed to accommodate the indoor storage of large vehicles. For these reasons staff is recommending denial of this variance request. I'd be happy to expand and answer any questions you may have at this time. Aller: Does anybody have a question to start with? I was wondering when we looked for what the neighborhood was doing, what other variances and you indicated that there were other detached garages. What are we looking at as far as variances that have been granted in the past and the history of those detached garages? Walters: So I believe I was able to find 8 variances for the 47 properties within 5 feet. Within 500 feet, sorry. Yes within 500 feet. All of those were situations where they were either expanding an existing a single stall garage to become a 2 stall or where there was no garage present on the property and they were adding a 2 car garage. We've had a couple other cases before where you know if a property is older and does not have an existing garage because ordinance now requires a 2 car garage we do whatever we can to make those fit. I couldn't find any that had an existing garage and then were adding another detached garage. Aller: When we looked at those, the expansions or the additions, what did it do with regard to the surface area coverage for storm water drainage? Walters: Yeah, unfortunately the most of these variances that I found for the garages were in the 80's. There wasn't any record that I found mentioning the impervious coverage or whether or not it was increasing so unfortunately I don't know whether or not. My guess from the average 2 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 size of the lots would be that most are over the 25 percent but I wouldn't be able to speculate on by how much. Tietz: MacKenzie I have a question. Aller: Commissioner Tietz. Tietz: Since this is a proposed to be primarily a storage building for the fire engine that's used periodically and possibly then going to be restored in it, to reduce the surface coverage is it possible that instead of having a full driveway it could just have like the two wheel lines that you see in some locations where properties have surface coverage issue. I know that's been done in Excelsior right off the lake. There's a couple of new very large homes but the driveways are essentially the old fashion two lines. At least that would provide some hard surface to get the vehicle out if they you know on occasion but it seems like it's primarily a storage facility as opposed to a daily use facility. Aanenson: You could attach whatever conditions you felt appropriate on that. There's also the grass pavers where it's, you know so that would be, if that was something you're interested. Tietz: Yeah. It looks like there's over 300 square feet of new driveway that would be added and if you take that off of the in excess of the currently zoning that does help. And you know you mentioned architecturally. What's the, do we know what the peak of that garage is going to be? I assume that that overhead door on a fire truck is not an 8 foot door right? Walters: I would imagine not. I do not actually, I've not received plans for the proposed garage. I expect the applicant could address that when they address the commission. It would be required to meet the 20 foot accessory structure height, mid point of highest gable. Tietz: Okay, thank you. Aller: Additional questions? Commissioner Randall. Randall: So I'm looking at your proposal here with the approximate buildable area. Is it possible to decrease the variance by attaching this and then also linking the driveways together? Would that be a little bit more workable solution or? Walters: When this proposal was first brought before staff, staff did request that an alternative be provided where it was a single driveway access. This is the application and proposal and that was submitted. Randall: Okay. Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Walters: The Planning Commission could vote to grant variances but not the second driveway access which would require then a redesign. As to why the applicant opted for a detached versus attached garage, I believe that would be a question for them as well during their presentation. Aller: Did you have a question? Commissioner Madsen. Madsen: Yeah I had a question. For any of these variances that were within 500 feet, were any of them for basically a storage garage or were they more for a daily use garage? Walters: My notes were, to the nearest I could tell they were all for the first and only garage on the property but unfortunately my notes are not specific enough for me to be 100 percent from that but most of them mentioned two car garage and the properties again typically did not have an existing garage. Madsen: Okay, thank you. Aller: Any other questions? Weick: I have a question if that's okay. Aller: Commissioner Weick. Weick: The existing shed that's on the property, is that included in the current hard cover and then subtracted from the new hard cover? I just want to make sure we're accounting for it appropriately. Walters: (Yes). Weick: Okay. Walters: Yep it's a 96 square foot structure. It's part of that 28.3 percent existing lot coverage and that's one of the things the applicant is doing to try to minimize the impact of the project. Weick: Okay. Aller: Anyadditional? Okay, we could hear from the applicant now. Yesplease. Stepuptothe podium. State your name and address for the record and then let us know about your request for the variance. Rick Nustad: I'm Rick and this is my wife Liz Nustad and we've been residents of Chanhassen coming up on 20 years and we own an antique fire truck. It's classified an antique. I don't know if you've passed stuff around to look at but. KI Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Aller: Do you want to put it. Walters: If you want to put it right there and we'll turn the document cam on and it will pop up there. Rick Nustad: Okay. I grew up in Excelsior. This truck was my favorite truck of all time and anyways we've been the owners of it for 5 years and we purchased it and we keep it right now in a storage facility that we have to pay and it's outdoors so we're looking at getting it indoors. We use it on parades and as you can see it was sponsored by the Historical Society for the 4 ffi of July parade and we've worked long and hard on this process and had our lot surveyed and we have a design of what this garage would look like. And essentially we have down sized the original drawings to minimum for what we could have to store this truck and the garage itself would be 20 feet wide and 35 feet long. The peak of the roof of that would be 19.6 feet high and the garage opening would be about 12 feet high. In our neighborhood right now we currently have similar buildings. There's one that's almost across the street from us and is a storage facility. And my printer's not working very good and here's another picture of another address that actually has two garages. You actually through the first to get into the second. And about the only thing we can offer is we went around the neighborhood and we have 24 signatures of neighbors that looked at the drawings and are for it. I'm not real sure what else to say here. We're willing to change anything. We did speak with the Planning Commission about using blocks for the driveway that are, allow grass to grow but that according to the City makes no difference in terms of hard cover surface. And for drainage we would run drain pipe along the roof and it would come out on the southeast comer of the garage which is an actual alleyway right there which to me looks like good drainage and that is about it. I thank you for your time and all of that. Liz Nustad: Exterior of the building would be the same as the house. It would blend in. It won't, it will be nice. It won't look. Rick Nustad: Right and we did stress the point that there will be no junk sitting outside around this. It's going to be just a garage. Aller: If I could just ask when you indicated that you had reduced the size, is that a reduction from what you provided to the planning department already or is that? Rick Nustad: No. We purchased drawings online and we reduced it. Aller: Okay. Rick Nustad: Literally there's going to be about 5 feet of room around inside the garage so it's just strictly for storage. Liz Nustad: Storing the fire truck. 5 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Rick Nustad: Out of the elements. And like I say we're willing to do whatever. You know we talked when we, you mentioned about a single driveway versus a double. I'm sure it's possible. It would have to be angled just to get the truck lined up to pull into the garage so. Aller: How often is the truck actually out of storage and being used? Rick Nustad: You know we might take it out every weekend. Every other weekend sometimes in the summer and we do parades. We've done about a dozen parades and won trophies for it and was very proud being in the 4' of July parade in Chanhassen too. Aller: Great. Any additional questions at this point in time? Commissioner Randall. Randall: A question I wanted to ask MacKenzie about maybe doing something attached. Was that ever a consideration for you guys? Rick Nustad: You know I didn't really look at that. It would be where there would be a wall between each one though right. Yeah we could do that. Randall: The only reason I say that is because I ended up doing that on my garage and then I just put another garage door in to divide them instead of doing out but you know just that might work a little bit better. Cut down on the percentage. I mean we've got to do the numbers on it but you know also too it might make it easier to tie utilities into that area too. Rick Nustad: Sure. Randall: You know I have a garage workshop too and I like having a room next to my vehicle. You know if you want to run air tools and that type of thing too. Rick Nustad: Right. Randall: So I think some of those solutions might be, or some of those ideas might work a little bit better but that was just my concern and then maybe linking the driveway up because it would be that much closer. Rick Nustad: Right. That makes good sense. Right now as the drawings were submitted there's about 5 feet of our patio would remain between the two buildings but we can definitely look at combining maybe. Randall: That or another idea might be to re -conform your existing garage to accommodate it and then add maybe a smaller area for your normal vehicles. That could be another thing too so there's different ideas. I mean I think we can try to figure out something that will work for everyone but yeah I wouldn't want to have to back that thing in on a curve or whatever. P Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Rick Nustad: You know it's not like today's modem fire trucks that Mr. Atkins drives. Randall: Thank you sir. Rick Nustad: Thank you for your time. Aller: The other question I have is, when were you looking at actually constructing it because we're talking about potentially time investment and trying to come up with a different plan and so I'm looking at alternatives here. Thinking of alternatives as to how we would want to approach this for you. Rick Nustad: You know if it was to pass this month we would look at probably starting in the spring. I would take the time this winter to find a builder and I've dealt with vendors. I work for the Foss Swim Schools so we deal with lots of vendors when it comes to construction and we would find a reputable one of course and follow all of the rules and regulations but we've had it sitting outside for 5 years so a few month months or 6 months would not hurt. Aller: Okay great. Alright, thank you. Any additional questions? Thank you for your presentation. Rick Nustad: Thank you. Liz Nustad: Thank you. Aller: Okay at this point in time we're going to open up the matter for public hearing. If anyone is actually here for this particular item and would like to speak either for or against the item please come forward and state your name and address for the record and let us know what you think. Yes sir. Jack Atkins: Yeah, my name is Jack Atkins. I live at 220 West 78th Street so across Erie and on the comer of Main Street and I want you to know we have no objections to them doing this and we urge you to work with them to come to a solution. I think they're amenable to that. I do want to point out, I don't know if you can see that. That's the garage that's kitty comer. That's 25 by 42 foot on a much smaller lot so it's not out of keeping with the neighborhood. I think this pre -dates any zoning. Aller: Right. JackAtkins: So from that standpoint. The other thing is there is an easement for where the sanitary sewer goes through and there's an offer by the City to let us claim that or buy it or something. I can't remember but they did not do that and that's another 8 foot by 60 feet on the property that could be considered part of their. 7 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Aller: Right, if it was vacated. Jack Atkins: Pervious land. And also is, on new developments is the setback from the center of the street to the property line, is that 33 feet still? Aanenson: To the property line is always to the property line. Jack Atkins: No I'm talking about how wide is the easement from the center of the street? Aller: Oh the city easement coming into the property. For access. City access. Aanenson: Typically the right-of-way from the street is one definition and then there's typically an easement in the front where utilities go but you can include utilities as part of your setback. It's not in addition to so right-of-way is one definition of your property as your right-of-way. Then typically inside the right-of-way there may be a utility easement around that or just for. Jack Atkins: I was just curious because the City owns 33 feet from the center of the streets on both sides of their property and I thought that might be 30 feet on new developments now. Aanenson: Could be. Jack Atkins: So that's. Aanenson: But it also might be encumbered. There might be not an additional utility easement along that too so. Jack Atkins: Well I guess my point is that, it's old Chanhassen. 1887 and all of the lots are a hardship so anything you can do to make this work for them we'd, the neighborhood would appreciate it. Thank you. Aller: Thank you. Thank you for your presentation. Anyone else wishing to come forward? Seeing no one come forward at this point in time I'll close the public hearing on this item and open it for discussion. Thoughts. I'm tempted to say it's premature and maybe we could offer or request them to, what they can work out. Is that in line with everybody's thinking or are they thinking something else? You can still grant it with conditions. Tietz: Or grant approval with provisions and I think that's probably, even though construction wouldn't start now probably til April or May depending upon the winter conditions, I think Mark had a good suggestion of seeing if it could be attached which would make it, it might reduce a modest amount of hard surface. That 5 foot kind of alley way between the proposed and existing and as Mark stated there could be some benefits and I think there's still a benefit in, I don't see how you could back a fire truck into that using the existing driveway so if it's just a parallel strip 8 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 because it's infrequent use or pervious pavers or some sort. If those two issues could be dealt with as a provision of approval I guess I would vote positively. Aller: I guess my question would be how do we do that adequately so that they don't have to come back again anyway. Tietz: Well there's conditions on one of the options that it would be up to the City to, or staff to review it and approve. Or see if it complied. I don't know maybe that's inappropriate but just do it that way. Aller: That just again leaves it to other people and then what happens if they disagree and they want to come back before us? I don't want them to come back a thousand times if we can avoid that and it doesn't sound like anybody wants to particularly just deny it out of hand so. Thoughts Commissioner Weick? I see you're in your pensive status. Weick: Well no I think it's a genuine you know, it's obviously a genuine attempt to create a structure that's in line with the existing house and the neighborhood. I really do appreciate the signatures from the neighbors. That was a big question I had is what do the people around, around the house think. I think that's the most important thing sometimes. I mean the codes are also very important. The biggest thing for me, the setbacks don't bother me at all. It's just the hard cover. It's a significant amount of hard cover and especially with the driveway. You know that's a lot. I mean I don't know if you've been over there but the driveways will then sort of become the primary, they're short. You know the house is relatively close to the street but that's a lot of driveway. That's my biggest concern. Aller: You're increasing a lot of runoff. Weick: Yeah, yeah. I think it's nice to you know have this replace the existing shed that's there. I think that will help visually with the neighborhood as well so, I like the idea. Just the only concern I have is it's a lot of cover. Aller: Okay. Weick: And I'm not sure attaching or not attaching necessarily makes a big difference there. Maybe it does. I'm just not, because to me it's the driveway. Again I get back, it's the driveway that makes it, that seems like more than what's needed. Aller: Okay. Any other? Commissioner Madsen? Tietz: Andrew, yeah oh I'm sorry Nancy. Go ahead. Madsen: Go ahead. E, Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Tietz: Just looking at the engineer's plan it looks like the land does slope to the southeast and if the indication was to take the drainage off of the new structure to the southeast, excavation could occur in that comer which could in a sense create a rain garden of sorts and contain that, that additional hard surface runoff in that area. I think we're requiring that on a number of projects now and this would not be out of the ordinary to request that. Yes there's probably some re- grading that's going to have to be done for the footings and slab anyhow and this might be an opportunity to just create a holding area in that comer. You know this is a very small site in an old neighborhood and I think our current requirements are very difficult to assign to a site, an area, a neighborhood like this so I think doing what we can to help make this possible is in the City's best interest and I think we should seriously consider it. That southeast comer looks like it's a potential. I don't know MacKenzie if that's been looked at. Aller: And when I looked at it originally I didn't think it comported with the neighborhood because by the nature and the testimony that we have, the other garages and the other variances were basically for what we have deemed to be kind of the standard in our community which is to have a house with a two car garage. Whether it be attached or detached but it's for vehicle use and for regular household storage that's in and out. However they use that but typically we've expanded from one to two or to have two. Now we have two so when we look at what's the reasonable use of the property in the neighborhood, we're not necessarily looking at creating so that, creating variances even though they're small plots and lots to turn around and say well we're going to give a variance so everyone can have an accessory structure which exceeds our requirements. So to me it was super important that they came in, because that was one of my questions is how are the neighbors going to feel about this so I was happy to hear that the neighbors are involved and are looking at this in a positive fashion and want to promote this utilitarian use of the property. And then the question is how do we get there to minimize if we're going to allow for a variance how do we minimize that because I think that's what our obligations are to make sure that it's the smallest possible variance that would meet the request. So how do we go about doing that and if we want to do that today or do we want to have everybody do homework and come back? Madsen: I share your concern on the size and scale of the building. I think it's a wonderful idea to restore the fire truck and what you do in a community with it. Thank you for bringing in the picture of the one other storage building that is in the neighborhood but I'm just not sure that a residential neighborhood is the best fit for lots of storage buildings so if we do grant this variance, and more other neighbors have uses for storage buildings I'm not sure that's the, what the residential area was intended to have so I do struggle with that but I do appreciate you bringing in the list of the neighbors who are for this facility to store the truck but I struggle with that. Randall: I guess I would like to kind of table it and have them work on it some more. I don't know if they came up with a different plan that used less variance and maybe a rain garden or whatever. Some of those solutions might be, do they have to re -apply for all of this stuff? 0 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Aller: That was what was my next question. Aanenson: No. Aller: They would have to sign an extension correct to have it decided. Aanenson: Yeah they can give us an extension so they could, you could table and since they're not ready to construct right away we need some time to work on it. Aller: Right. That's why I was asking what their time table was to see whether or not it would be an appropriate alternative. Randall: It would be easier if you were into motorcycles than fire trucks but I'm just giving you a hard time. Rich Gavert: Can I say something? Aller: You know we closed the public hearing on this but in the spirit of going ahead and hear you but why don't you come up so it's on the record. Come up and state your name and address for the record. Rich Gavert: Rich Gavert, 7701 Frontier Trail. The building, the garage so to speak that Jack and Rick showed you pictures of, that's nothing but storage. I've been here 42 years and it's, never see a car coming or going out of that so the precedence has more or less been set. Aller: Well thank you. Thank you. Aanenson: That's an original building. There's no house with it. It's been there forever and it's not being used as a business or anything. It's just sitting out there so it's an anomaly. We've got that in other parts of the city. It's not a new one that someone's trying to put a boat in or something like that. It's being used as storage so. We recognize that that's a. Aller: And I recognize and I think the commissioners recognize the fact that the present building is non -conforming so. What we're doing is replacing a non -conforming use with a... Tietz: I think if we are taking this back for further study, you know there's a lot of time and investment and I'm sure there's some engineering time that's going to go into this too. I don't want someone to go away and think that all these changes or proposed changes and they look at it, that then they come back and it gets denied so I think it's very important that we are giving positive direction and hopefully in working with staff that it come back with a solution that then we will find acceptable. I I Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Randall: I think some of the things that are important too for the homeowner are going to be to determine the minimum space that they need for this fire truck. Whether it be it's operation and storage, whatever. By having the minimums down that will give us the minimum that they have. That they can work with and find a solution to the problem so I just want to put that on the record. Aller: And it sounds like they're doing a good job of that now but there are things that haven't been considered. The fact that they could use the existing and expand the existing or attach it and there are different alternatives that really should be looked at in order to make sure that we can feel comfortable in granting one because it would be at a minimum level. So with those comments would anyone like to make a motion on this item? Randall: Make a motion to table it, is that what it would be? Aller: Yeah. Randall: I'd like to make a motion to table this variance request. Do I haveto setatime line with that also? Aanenson: Chair for the record, the 60 day is the 19th of December but we would ask for another 60 days which we can if they're agreeable to that and then we can certainly have it accomplished within that timeframe. Aller: So that would be the 19'h of February. Aanenson: Yeah. Any time between then and now that they can get, yep. Aller: Right and that would. Aanenson: We'll just put them back on the agenda. Aller: What happens is we're required to, the City's required to make a decision before a certain time line runs and that's 60 days so in order for us to allow for other communication and discussion to go forward we have to move that back so that we don't, otherwise we would have to deny it and then appeal it and do all that other stuff so this way we're just, if the motion was to carry then we'll just be moving that date out with your agreement to say that we've got the additional time to make that decision based on your application and then you can amend your application based upon your discussions and we can have another hearing and hopefully put this thing to rest. Okay. So we have a motion. Do I have a second? Madsen: Second. Aller: Having a motion and a second. 12 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Randall moved, Madsen seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments table Planning Case 2017-20 after receiving written agreement for a 60 day extension. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. Alter: That motion carries. Do we have a form currently that we can print out? Aanenson: I think we can just ask for the 60 days. We're within our rights to ask for 60 days so. Alter: Okay. Thank you. PUBLIC HEARING: 204 WEST 78TIl STREET: VARIANCE FOR HARD SURFACE COVERAGE AND FRONT YARD SETBACK. Alter: Is that you? Walters: Yes it is. Alter: Thank you MacKenzie. Walters: So this is Case 2017-21. 204 78th Street West. This is a variance request. They're requesting a 3 foot, an after the fact variance for a 3 foot front yard setback to accommodate a pergola and an after the fact for 1.5 percent lot coverage for an expanded driveway. This is in the same neighborhood as the last variance we heard. Let me get my laser pointer up here. The property is located here. The zoning is the same. The only change, the relevant condition is because this property accesses a collector road our ordinance does require it to have a turn around accommodated within the driveway. The current site conditions are it's an 8,981 square foot lot. It currently has 28.3 percent lot coverage. The existing front yard setback is 27 feet. It meets all other setbacks and as a bit of an anomaly the public sidewalk is actually located on the property instead of in the right-of-way and that's about 214 square feet of impervious surface. The applicant is requesting to retain an expanded driveway and retain the pergola in it's existing configuration. The applicant has stated that when the house was constructed about 10 years ago the sidewalk was poured in a different position than intended right up against the house so that forced the pergola footings to be ftirther forward which pushed it out into the required front yard setback. And then due to the difficulty of accessing 78 th Street West they chose to deviate from the proposed driveway and widen it. The other reason they made that decision the construction was because 78th Street does not allow street parking so they wanted to accommodate some on site parking. After the property was built they had originally put an extra 385 square feet of Class V aggregate or gravel to the side of the driveway. After consulting with staff they did remove that to reduce the property's non-compliance. As was noted in earlier discussions a lot of properties in this neighborhood do encroach within the front yard setback and they feel the pergola adds architectural interest to the front fagade. When staff looked it over one of the things 13 CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER & HENNEPIN COUNTIES NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLANNING CASE NO. 2017-20 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Chanhassen Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 at 7:00 P -M - in the Council Chambers in Chanhassen City Hall, 7700 Market Blvd. The purpose of this hearing is to consider a variance request for second driveway access, hardcover. front vard setback, and rear setback for ii garage addition for property zoned Single Family Residential (RSF) and located at 7721 Erie Avenue.

FRONT YARD SETBACK AND REAR YARD SETBACK Walters: This is Planning Case 2017-20. It's a request for a variance at 7721 Erie Avenue. The variance would be for a detached garage and it would be for a second driveway access, a 10 foot west front yard setback, 4.3 foot south front yard setback, a 5 foot rear yard setback and then a 12.4 percent lot coverage variance. So the location as mentioned is 7721 Erie Avenue. This property is zoned residential single family. It's located on a comer lot with a public street, Chan View, Erie Avenue and then a platted alley. What we call a paper street. So there is a public right-of-way which means that does function as a front yard setback as well so it has 3 front yard setbacks and the zoning requirements are a 15,000 square foot lot. 30 foot for any front yard setback. Limited to a single driveway access and a maximum of 25 percent lot coverage. The site is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Chanhassen. If memory serves it was platted in 1887 so the lot is what we call substandard. It's 8,529 square feet. It's currently a non- conforming use at 28.3 percent lot coverage. The northern front yard setback is currently met. The west front yard setback, the house currently has, is set back 20.7 feet and the garage then is tucked back an extra 5 feet or so from there and there's currently a non -conforming shed on the property that is 17 feet from the setback from that platted alleyway and approximately 6 feet from the rear yard setback. The applicant is proposing constructing a 20 foot by 35 foot detached garage which would be accessed by a second driveway. And this is to allow for the on site storage of a 1969 Mack fire truck. The applicant has noted that the lot is substandard. It is very difficult to improve the property within the confines of the zoning code. The existing SCANNED Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 garage cannot accommodate the size of the fire truck. They've stated the proposed garage would only be used to store the vehicle. They would like to bring the truck indoors to facilitate the eventual restoration of the vehicle. They've noted that due to the age of the subdivision a lot of other properties have detached garages and encroach on the various setbacks. It is very typical to see some higher lot coverage within the subdivision as well and they have proposed architecturally designing the garage to fit into the character of the neighborhood. They would also be removing the non -conforming shed and some patio space. When staff looked it over one of our largest concerns is that this neighborhood has an existing history of street flooding. It's storm water services are currently inadequate for modem storm water treatment standards. There is concern that the increased impervious surface coverage could exacerbate this. If the variance were granted it would allow the property to exceed it's lot coverage by a little over 1,000 square feet. It would represent an increase of about 779 square feet over the current non -conformity. The property currently has a house, two car garage, patio, shed which is generally considered to be a reasonable use within a single family district. When we looked around at the Plano metrics of the neighborhood, that's this here. This shows the impervious surface. As you can see detached garages are fairly common but we see only, I was able to find 2 properties that looked to have multiple driveway accesses. I do not believe, I was not able to find any that had both detached garage and attached garage and multiple driveway accesses so this level of use would not be consistent with the neighborhood and RSF districts are not fundamentally designed to accommodate the indoor storage of large vehicles. For these reasons staff is recommending denial of this variance request. I'd be happy to expand and answer any questions you may have at this time. Aller: Does anybody have a question to start with? I was wondering when we looked for what the neighborhood was doing, what other variances and you indicated that there were other detached garages. What are we looking at as far as variances that have been granted in the past and the history of those detached garages? Walters: So I believe I was able to find 8 variances for the 47 properties within 5 feet. Within 500 feet, sorry. Yes within 500 feet. All of those were situations where they were either expanding an existing a single stall garage to become a 2 stall or where there was no garage present on the property and they were adding a 2 car garage. We've had a couple other cases before where you know if a property is older and does not have an existing garage because ordinance now requires a 2 car garage we do whatever we can to make those fit. I couldn't find any that had an existing garage and then were adding another detached garage. Aller: When we looked at those, the expansions or the additions, what did it do with regard to the surface area coverage for storm water drainage? Walters: Yeah, unfortunately the most of these variances that I found for the garages were in the 80's. There wasn't any record that I found mentioning the impervious coverage or whether or not it was increasing so unfortunately I don't know whether or not. My guess from the average 2 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 size of the lots would be that most are over the 25 percent but I wouldn't be able to speculate on by how much. Tletz: MacKenzie I have a question. Aller: Commissioner Tietz. Tietz: Since this is a proposed to be primarily a storage building for the fire engine that's used periodically and possibly then going to be restored in it, to reduce the surface coverage is it possible that instead of having a full driveway it could just have like the two wheel lines that you see in some locations where properties have surface coverage issue. I know that's been done in Excelsior right off the lake. There's a couple of new very large homes but the driveways are essentially the old fashion two lines. At least that would provide some hard surface to get the vehicle out if they you know on occasion but it seems like it's primarily a storage facility as opposed to a daily use facility. Aanenson: You could attach whatever conditions you felt appropriate on that. There's also the grass pavers where it's, you know so that would be, if that was something you're interested. Tietz: Yeah. It looks like there's over 300 square feet of new driveway that would be added and if you take that off of the in excess of the currently zoning that does help. And you know you mentioned architecturally. What's the, do we know what the peak of that garage is going to be? I assume that that overhead door on a fire truck is not an 8 foot door right? Walters: I would imagine not. I do not actually, I've not received plans for the proposed garage. I expect the applicant could address that when they address the commission. It would be required to meet the 20 foot accessory structure height, mid point of highest gable. Tietz: Okay, thank you. Aller: Additional questions? Commissioner Randall. Randall: So I'm looking at your proposal here with the approximate buildable area. Is it possible to decrease the variance by attaching this and then also linking the driveways together? Would that be a little bit more workable solution or? Walters: When this proposal was first brought before staff, staff did request that an alternative be provided where it was a single driveway access. This is the application and proposal and that was submitted. Randall: Okay. 3 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Walters: The Planning Commission could vote to grant variances but not the second driveway access which would require then a redesign. As to why the applicant opted for a detached versus attached garage, I believe that would be a question for them as well during their presentation. Aller: Did you have a question? Commissioner Madsen. Madsen: Yeah I had a question. For any of these variances that were within 500 feet, were any of them for basically a storage garage or were they more for a daily use garage? Walters: My notes were, to the nearest I could tell they were all for the first and only garage on the property but unfortunately my notes are not specific enough for me to be 100 percent from that but most of them mentioned two car garage and the properties again typically did not have an existing garage. Madsen: Okay, thank you. Aller: Any other questions? Weick: I have a question if that's okay. Aller: Commissioner Weick. Weick: The existing shed that's on the property, is that included in the current hard cover and then subtracted from the new hard cover? I just want to make sure we're accounting for it appropriately. Walters: (Yes). Weick: Okay. Walters: Yep it's a 96 square foot structure. It's part of that 28.3 percent existing lot coverage and that's one of the things the applicant is doing to try to minimize the impact of the project. Weick: Okay. Aller: Anyadditional? Okay, we could hear from the applicant now. Yesplease. Stepuptothe podium. State your name and address for the record and then let us know about your request for the variance. Rick Nustad: I'm Rick and this is my wife Liz Nustad and we've been residents of Chanhassen coming up on 20 years and we own an antique fire truck. It's classified an antique. I don't know if you've passed stuff around to look at but. 4 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Aller: Do you want to put it. Walters: If you want to put it right there and we'll turn the document cam on and it will pop up there. Rick Nustad: Okay. I grew up in Excelsior. This truck was my favorite truck of all time and anyways we've been the owners of it for 5 years and we purchased it and we keep it right now in a storage facility that we have to pay and it's outdoors so we're looking at getting it indoors. We use it on parades and as you can see it was sponsored by the Historical Society for the 4 th of July parade and we've worked long and hard on this process and had our lot surveyed and we have a design of what this garage would look like. And essentially we have down sized the original drawings to minimum for what we could have to store this truck and the garage itself would be 20 feet wide and 35 feet long. The peak of the roof of that would be 19.6 feet high and the garage opening would be about 12 feet high. In our neighborhood right now we currently have similar buildings. There's one that's almost across the street from us and is a storage facility. And my printer's not working very good and here's another picture of another address that actually has two garages. You actually through the first to get into the second. And about the only thing we can offer is we went around the neighborhood and we have 24 signatures of neighbors that looked at the drawings and are for it. I'm not real sure what else to say here. We're willing to change anything. We did speak with the Planning Commission about using blocks for the driveway that are, allow grass to grow but that according to the City makes no difference in terms of hard cover surface. And for drainage we would run drain pipe along the roof and it would come out on the southeast comer of the garage which is an actual alleyway right there which to me looks like good drainage and that is about it. I thank you for your time and all of that. Liz Nustad: Exterior of the building would be the same as the house. It would blend in. It won't, it will be nice. It won't look. Rick Nustad: Right and we did stress the point that there will be no junk sitting outside around this. It's going to be just a garage. Aller: If I could just ask when you indicated that you had reduced the size, is that a reduction from what you provided to the planning department already or is that? Rick Nustad: No. We purchased drawings online and we reduced it. Aller: Okay. Rick Nustad: Literally there's going to be about 5 feet of room around inside the garage so it's just strictly for storage. Liz Nustad: Storing the fire truck. 5 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Rick Nustad: Out of the elements. And like I say we're willing to do whatever. You know we talked when we, you mentioned about a single driveway versus a double. I'm sure it's possible. It would have to be angled just to get the truck lined up to pull into the garage so. Aller: How often is the truck actually out of storage and being used? Rick Nustad: You know we might take it out every weekend. Every other weekend sometimes in the summer and we do parades. We've done about a dozen parades and won trophies for it and was very proud being in the 4'h of July parade in Chanhassen too. Aller: Great. Any additional questions at this point in time? Commissioner Randall. Randall: A question I wanted to ask MacKenzie about maybe doing something attached. Was that ever a consideration for you guys? Rick Nustad: You know I didn't really look at that. It would be where there would be a wall between each one though right. Yeah we could do that. Randall: The only reason I say that is because I ended up doing that on my garage and then I just put another garage door in to divide them instead of doing out but you know just that might work a little bit better. Cut down on the percentage. I mean we've got to do the numbers on it but you know also too it might make it easier to tie utilities into that area too. Rick Nustad: Sure. Randall: You know I have a garage workshop too and I like having a room next to my vehicle. You know if you want to run air tools and that type of thing too. Rick Nustad: Right. Randall: So I think some of those solutions might be, or some of those ideas might work a little bit better but that was just my concern and then maybe linking the driveway up because it would be that much closer. Rick Nustad: Right. That makes good sense. Right now as the drawings were submitted there's about 5 feet of our patio would remain between the two buildings but we can definitely look at combining maybe. Randall: That or another idea might be to re -conform your existing garage to accommodate it and then add maybe a smaller area for your normal vehicles. That could be another thing too so there's different ideas. I mean I think we can try to figure out something that will work for everyone but yeah I wouldn't want to have to back that thing in on a curve or whatever. T Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Rick Nustad: You know it's not like today's modem fire trucks that Mr. Atkins drives. Randall: Thank you sir. Rick Nustad: Thank you for your time. Aller: The other question I have is, when were you looking at actually constructing it because we're talking about potentially time investment and trying to come up with a different plan and so I'm looking at alternatives here. Thinking of alternatives as to how we would want to approach this for you. Rick Nustad: You know if it was to pass this month we would look at probably starting in the spring. I would take the time this winter to find a builder and I've dealt with vendors. I work for the Foss Swim Schools so we deal with lots of vendors when it comes to construction and we would find a reputable one of course and follow all of the rules and regulations but we've had it sitting outside for 5 years so a few month months or 6 months would not hurt. Aller: Okay great. Alright, thank you. Any additional questions? Thank you for your presentation. Rick Nustad: Thank you. Liz Nustad: Thank you. Aller: Okay at this point in time we're going to open up the matter for public hearing. If anyone is actually here for this particular item and would like to speak either for or against the item please come forward and state your name and address for the record and let us know what you think. Yes sir. Jack Atkins: Yeah, my name is Jack Atkins. I live at 220 West 78th Street so across Erie and on the comer of Main Street and I want you to know we have no objections to them doing this and we urge you to work with them to come to a solution. I think they're amenable to that. I do want to point out, I don't know if you can see that. That's the garage that's kitty comer. That's 25 by 42 foot on a much smaller lot so it's not out of keeping with the neighborhood. I think this pre -dates any zoning. Aller: Right. Jack Atkins: So from that standpoint. The other thing is there is an easement for where the sanitary sewer goes through and there's an offer by the City to let us claim that or buy it or something. I can't remember but they did not do that and that's another 8 foot by 60 feet on the property that could be considered part of their. 7 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Aller: Right, if it was vacated. Jack Atkins: Pervious land. And also is, on new developments is the setback from the center of the street to the property line, is that 33 feet still? Aanenson: To the property line is always to the property line. Jack Atkins: No I'm talking about how wide is the easement from the center of the street? Aller: Oh the city easement coming into the property. For access. City access. Aanenson: Typically the right-of-way from the street is one definition and then there's typically an easement in the front where utilities go but you can include utilities as part of your setback. It's not in addition to so right-of-way is one definition of your property as your right-of-way. Then typically inside the right-of-way there may be a utility easement around that or just for. Jack Atkins: I was just curious because the City owns 33 feet from the center of the streets on both sides of their property and I thought that might be 30 feet on new developments now. Aanenson: Could be. Jack Atkins: So that's. Aanenson: But it also might be encumbered. There might be not an additional utility easement along that too so. Jack Atkins: Well I guess my point is that, it's old Chanhassen. 1887 and all of the lots are a hardship so anything you can do to make this work for them we'd, the neighborhood would appreciate it. Thank you. Aller: Thank you. Thank you for your presentation. Anyone else wishing to come forward? Seeing no one come forward at this point in time I'll close the public hearing on this item and open it for discussion. Thoughts. I'm tempted to say it's premature and maybe we could offer or request them to, what they can work out. Is that in line with everybody's thinking or are they thinking something else? You can still grant it with conditions. Tietz: Or grant approval with provisions and I think that's probably, even though construction wouldn't start now probably til April or May depending upon the winter conditions, I think Mark had a good suggestion of seeing if it could be attached which would make it, it might reduce a modest amount of hard surface. That 5 foot kind of alley way between the proposed and existing and as Mark stated there could be some benefits and I think there's still a benefit in, I don't see how you could back a fire truck into that using the existing driveway so if it's just a parallel strip Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 because it's infrequent use or pervious pavers or some sort. If those two issues could be dealt with as a provision of approval I guess I would vote positively. Aller: I guess my question would be how do we do that adequately so that they don't have to come back again anyway. Tietz: Well there's conditions on one of the options that it would be up to the City to, or staff to review it and approve. Or see if it compiled. I don't know maybe that's inappropriate but just do it that way. Aller: That just again leaves it to other people and then what happens if they disagree and they want to come back before us? I don't want them to come back a thousand times if we can avoid that and it doesn't sound like anybody wants to particularly just deny it out of hand so. Thoughts Commissioner Weick? I see you're in your pensive status. Weick: Well no I think it's a genuine you know, it's obviously a genuine attempt to create a structure that's in line with the existing house and the neighborhood. I really do appreciate the signatures from the neighbors. That was a big question I had is what do the people around, around the house think. I think that's the most important thing sometimes. I mean the codes are also very important. The biggest thing for me, the setbacks don't bother me at all. It's just the hard cover. It's a significant amount of hard cover and especially with the driveway. You know that's a lot. I mean I don't know if you've been over there but the driveways will then sort of become the primary, they're short. You know the house is relatively close to the street but that's a lot of driveway. That's my biggest concern. Aller: You're increasing a lot of runoff. 'Aleick: Yeah, yeah. I think it's nice to you know have this replace the existing shed that's there. I think that will help visually with the neighborhood as well so, I like the idea. Just the only concern I have is it's a lot of cover. Aller: Okay. Weick: And I'm not sure attaching or not attaching necessarily makes a big difference there. Maybe it does. I'm just not, because to me it's the driveway. Again I get back, it's the driveway that makes it, that seems like more than what's needed. Aller: Okay. Any other? Commissioner Madsen? Tietz: Andrew, yeah oh I'm sorry Nancy. Go ahead. Madsen: Go ahead. 6 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Tietz: Just looking at the engineer's plan it looks like the land does slope to the southeast and if the indication was to take the drainage off of the new structure to the southeast, excavation could occur in that comer which could in a sense create a rain garden of sorts and contain that, that additional hard surface runoff in that area. I think we're requiring that on a number of projects now and this would not be out of the ordinary to request that. Yes there's probably some re- grading that's going to have to be done for the footings and slab anyhow and this might be an opportunity to just create a holding area in that comer. You know this is a very small site in an old neighborhood and I think our current requirements are very difficult to assign to a site, an area, a neighborhood like this so I think doing what we can to help make this possible is in the City's best interest and I think we should seriously consider it. That southeast comer looks like it's a potential. I don't know MacKenzie if that's been looked at. Aller: And when I looked at it originally I didn't think it comported with the neighborhood because by the nature and the testimony that we have, the other garages and the other variances were basically for what we have deemed. to be kind of the standard in our community which is to have a house with a two car garage. Whether it be attached or detached but it's for vehicle use and for regular household storage that's in and out. However they use that but typically we've expanded from one to two or to have two. Now we have two so when we look at what's the reasonable use of the property in the neighborhood, we're not necessarily looking at creating so that, creating variances even though they're small plots and lots to turn around and say well we're going to give a variance so everyone can have an accessory structure which exceeds our requirements. So to me it was super important that they came in, because that was one of my questions is how are the neighbors going to feel about this so I was happy to hear that the neighbors are involved and are looking at this in a positive fashion and want to promote this utilitarian use of the property. And then the question is how do we get there to minimize if we're going to allow for a variance how do we minimize that because I think that's what our obligations are to make sure that it's the smallest possible variance that would meet the request. So how do we go about doing that and if we want to do that today or do we want to have everybody do homework and come back? Madsen: I share your concern on the size and scale of the building. I think it's a wonderful idea to restore the fire truck and what you do in a community with it. Thank you for bringing in the picture of the one other storage building that is in the neighborhood but I'm just not sure that a residential neighborhood is the best fit for lots of storage buildings so if we do grant this variance, and more other neighbors have uses for storage buildings I'm not sure that's the, what the residential area was intended to have so I do struggle with that but I do appreciate you bringing in the list of the neighbors who are for this facility to store the truck but I struggle with that. Randall: I guess I would like to kind of table it and have them work on it some more. I don't know if they came up with a different plan that used less variance and maybe a rain garden or whatever. Some of those solutions might be, do they have to re -apply for all of this stuff? 10 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Aller: That was what was my next question. Aanenson: No. Aller: They would have to sign an extension correct to have it decided. Aanenson: Yeah they can give us an extension so they could, you could table and since they're not ready to construct right away we need some time to work on it. Aller: Right. That's why I was asking what their timetable was to see whether or not it would be an appropriate alternative. Randall: It would be easier if you were into motorcycles than fire trucks but I'm just giving you a hard time. Rich Gavert: Can I say something? Aller: You know we closed the public hearing on this but in the spirit of going ahead and hear you but why don't you come up so it's on the record. Come up and state your name and address for the record. Rich Gavert: Rich Gavert, 7701 Frontier Trail. The building, the garage so to speak that Jack and Rick showed you pictures of, that's nothing but storage. I've been here 42 years and it's, never see a car coming or going out of that so the precedence has more or less been set. Aller: Well thank you. Thank you. Aanenson: That's an original building. There's no house with it. It's been there forever and it's not being used as a business or anything. It's just sitting out there so it's an anomaly. We've got that in other parts of the city. It's not a new one that someone's trying to put a boat in or something like that. It's being used as storage so. We recognize that that's a. Aller: And I recognize and I think the commissioners recognize the fact that the present building is non -conforming so. What we're doing is replacing a non -conforming use with a... Tietz: I think if we are taking this back for ftirther study, you know there's a lot of time and investment and I'm sure there's some engineering time that's going to go into this too. I don't want someone to go away and think that all these changes or proposed changes and they look at it, that then they come back and it gets denied so I think it's very important that we are giving positive direction and hopefully in working with staff that it come back with a solution that then we will find acceptable. I I Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Randall: I think some of the things that are important too for the homeowner are going to be to determine the minimum space that they need for this fire truck. Whether it be it's operation and storage, whatever. By having the minimums down that will give us the minimum that they have. That they can work with and find a solution to the problem so I just want to put that on the record. Aller: And it sounds like they're doing a good job of that now but there are things that haven't been considered. The fact that they could use the existing and expand the existing or attach it and there are different alternatives that really should be looked at in order to make sure that we can feel comfortable in granting one because it would be at a minimum level. So with those comments would anyone like to make a motion on this item? Randall: Make a motion to table it, is that what it would be? Aller: Yeah. Randall: I'd like to make a motion to table this variance request. Dol haveto set atime line with that also? Aanenson: Chair for the record, the 60 day is the 191h of December but we would ask for another 60 days which we can if they're agreeable to that and then we can certainly have it accomplished within that timeframe. Aller: So that would be the 19th of February. Aanenson: Yeah. Any time between then and now that they can get, yep. Aller: Right and that would. Aanenson: Ale'll just put them back on the agenda. Aller: What happens is we're required to, the City's required to make a decision before a certain time line runs and that's 60 days so in order for us to allow for other communication and discussion to go forward we have to move that back so that we don't, otherwise we would have to deny it and then appeal it and do all that other stuff so this way we're just, if the motion was to carry then we'll just be moving that date out with your agreement to say that we've got the additional time to make that decision based on your application and then you can amend your application based upon your discussions and we can have another hearing and hopefully put this thing to rest. Okay. So we have a motion. Do I have a second? Madsen: Second. Aller: Having a motion and a second. 12 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 21, 2017 Randall moved, Madsen seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments table Planning Case 2017-20 after receiving written agreement for a 60 day extension. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. Aller: That motion carries. Do we have a form currently that we can print out? Aanenson: I think we can just ask for the 60 days. We're within our rights to ask for 60 days so. Aller: Okay. Thank you. PUBLIC HEARING: 204 WEST 78 TH STREET: VARIANCE FOR HARD SURFACE COVERAGE AND FRONT YARD SETBACK. Aller: Is that you? Walters: Yes it is. Aller: Thank you MacKenzie. Walters: So this is Case 2017-21. 204 78th Street West. This is a variance request. They're requesting a 3 foot, an after the fact variance for a 3 foot front yard setback to accommodate a pergola and an after the fact for 1.5 percent lot coverage for an expanded driveway. This is in the same neighborhood as the last variance we heard. Let me get my laser pointer up here. The property is located here. The zoning is the same. The only change, the relevant condition is because this property accesses a collector road our ordinance does require it to have a turn around accommodated within the driveway. The current site conditions are it's an 8,981 square foot lot. It currently has 28.3 percent lot coverage. The existing front yard setback is 27 feet. It meets all other setbacks and as a bit of an anomaly the public sidewalk is actually located on the property instead of in the right-of-way and that's about 214 square feet of impervious surface. The applicant is requesting to retain an expanded driveway and retain the pergola in It's existing configuration. The applicant has stated that when the house was constructed about 10 years ago the sidewalk was poured in a different position than intended right up against the house so that forced the pergola footings to be further forward which pushed it out into the required front yard setback. And then due to the difficulty of accessing 78th Street West they chose to deviate from the proposed driveway and widen it. The other reason they made that decision the construction was because 78 th Street does not allow street parking so they wanted to accommodate some on site parking. After the property was built they had originally put an extra 385 square feet of Class V aggregate or gravel to the side of the driveway. After consulting with staff they did remove that to reduce the property's non-compliance. As was noted in earlier discussions a lot of properties in this neighborhood do encroach within the front yard setback and they feel the pergola adds architectural interest to the front faqade. When staff looked it over one of the things 13 CITY OF CHANHASSEN PC DATE: November 21, 2017 CC DATE: December 11, 2017 REVIEW DEADLINE: November 9,2017 CASE#: 2017-20 BY: MW I PROPOSED MOTION: I "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies a I 0 -foot west front yard setback, a 4.3 -foot south front yard setback, a five-foot rear yard setback, a 12.4 percent lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions." (Note: A motion for approval and appropriate findings of fact are also included at the end of the report.) SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a variance from their property's 30 -foot required front yard setbacks, 10 foot rear yard setback, 25 percent lot coverage limit, and one driveway per residential parcel restriction in order to build a detached garage to house a 1969 Mack Firetruck. The proposed 700 square foot garage would maintain the home's current nonconforming 20 -foot west front yard setback, would encroach 4.3 feet into the southern front yard setback from the alley right of way, would encroach five feet into the property's rear yard setback, would increase the property's lot coverage from its current nonconforming 28.3 percent to 37.4 percent, and would require a second driveway access. Due to the firetruck's size, they cannot store it in the existing garage.

The city has a relatively high Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 2 of 9 level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The homeowners' own a 1969 Mack Firetruck which they use for parades in this and surrounding communities. They are currently storing the firetruck off site at an outdoor storage facility; however, they would like to store it indoors and restore it. Due to the size of the firetruck, their existing 18.7 foot by 22.5 -foot garage cannot accommodate it, and they would need to construct a 20 foot by 35 -foot garage and second driveway to facilitate on site storage. The applicant has noted that their lot was plated before current zoning requirements were enacted and that it is significantly smaller than the minimum size required for lots zoned Single Family Residential District. They have stated that the substandard nature of their lot is the primary reason why they require a variance in order to construct the proposed accessory structure. The property owners have expressed their intention to construct a detached garage that matches the existing house and fits into the existing character of the neighborhood. They feel that there are other similarly sized garages in the area, and believe that their neighbors are supportive of the proposed variance.

The city does not have any information on this property prior to 1979. On May 28, 1999, the current owner bought the house. SITE CONDITIONS The property and surrounding neighborhood is zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF). This zoning district requires lots to be a minimum of 15,000 square feet, have front yard setbacks of 30 feet, rear yard setbacks of 30 feet, side yard setbacks of 10 feet, and limits lot coverage to a maximum of 25 percent of lot area. Residential structures are limited to 35 feet in height. Accessory structures are limited to 20 feet in height, may not occupy more than 30 percent of the area of a rear yard, may not exceed 1,000 square feet, and must be located within the buildable lot area or meet stipulated accessory structure setbacks. The lot is an 8,529 square foot lot that currently has 2,417 square feet of impervious surface resulting in 28.3 percent lot coverage. The lot technically has 3 front yard setbacks due to a plated alleyway to the south, even though the alley is not physically present. The existing house is setback 20 feet from the western front lot line and the existing attached garage is setback 25.1 feet from the western front lot line. The house and attached garage are substantially in compliance with all other setbacks. There is also an existing shed which is setback approximately six feet from the rear property line and approximately 17 feet from the southern front property line. The location of the house, attached garage, shed, and site's lot coverage are considered nonconforming uses. NEIGHBORHOOD St. Hubertus/City lots qf Chanhassen The plat for this area was recorded in October of 1887. Residential lots in this neighborhood vary between. 16 and .39 acres. The larger lots are the results of lots being split and merged Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 4 of 9 to adjoining properties after the original plat was filed. The lots retaining their original dimensions appear to average around .20 acres. Due to the predominately small lot sizes and age of the structures, detached garages are common, and many properties in the neighborhood do not meet the required setbacks and exceed 25 percent lot coverage.

The existing house has a 20 -foot setback from Erie Ave and its attached garage has a 25 -foot setback. The proposed detached garage would have a 20 -foot setback from Erie Ave. Since the garage needs to be 35 feet deep to accommodate the fire truck and the lot is only sixty feet deep it would be impossible design a garage that could store the fire truck while meeting the required front yard setback. Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 5 of 9 Many of the lots in the St. Hubertus; subdivision do not meet the city's minimum RSF lot dimensions of 90 feet of frontage and 125 feet of depth. Of the 47 properties within 500 feet of 7721 Erie Avenue, 3 have applied for and received variances from the required front yard setbacks. South Front Yard Setback There is a city owned right of way for the construction of an alley to the south of the applicants' property. The presence of this right of way means that the zoning code requires a 30 -foot front yard setback be maintained from the southern property line. No alleyway is present within this right of way, there are no plans to construct an alleyway in this location, and it appears that part of the eastern section of the alley's right of way was vacated. There is an existing shed located entirely within the southern front yard setback, and the neighbor's shed is located partially within the alley's right of way. Throughout the neighborhood multiple houses, garages, and sheds are located within the 30 -foot setbacks of the subdivision's empty right of ways. The proposed detached garage would be 26.7 feet from the southern lot line and 42.7 feet from the neighbor's property. If not for the alley's right of way, the property would be subject to a I 0 -foot side yard setback along the southern property line. Rear Yard Setback Since the lot is bordered on three sides by streets and/or public right of way, its rear yard is subject to a I 0 -foot setback rather than the standard 30 -foot rear yard setback. I he proposed detached garage would be setback five feet from the rear lot line. An existing 96 square -foot shed is setback approximately six feet from the rear lot line, which the applicant plans to remove as part of this project. Due to the size of the firetruck and narrowness of the lot, it is not possible to construct a garage that could accommodate the firetruck within the required setbacks. The city requires rear yard setbacks and limits the percent of the rear yard which can be occupied by an accessory structure in order to ensure a minimum amount of greenspace and balance the interests of the property owner with that of their neighbors.

In this instance, the orientation of the Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 6 of 9 neighboring houses means that the proposed location of the detached garage would not be expected to negatively impact the adjacent properties. Many properties in this neighborhood have been unable construct accessory structures that meet the required setbacks. Of the 47 properties within 500 feet, five have been granted side and/or rear setback variances for the construction or expansion of garages. Impervious Sur face The city limits the amount of lot cover which can be installed on a property in order prevent stormwater issues and negative impacts to the surrounding properties caused by increased volumes and rates of runoff during rain events. The city's engineering staff has noted that this area of the city does not meet current stormwater treatment standards and that it has a history of street flooding. They have stated that allowing the property to further increase its lot coverage will increase stormwater runoff in an under -treated neighborhood that has known flooding. The proposed plan would increase the property's lot coverage to 37.4 percent by adding an additional 773 square feet of impervious surface. The property currently exceeds the RSF district's limit of 25 percent lot coverage by 285 square feet, 3.3 percent. The applicant is proposing to remove a 97 squai foot shed and I 10 square feet of patio to reduce the amount of impervious surface on the property-, however, constructing the attached garage will cause the property to exceed its allowed lot coverage of 2,132 square feet by 1,058 square feet. The applicant has noted that their 8,529 square foot lot is significantly smaller than the 15,000 square feet required in the RSF district, and that applying the 25 percent lot coverage standard to such a small lot significantly restricts their ability to improve the property. While this is true, the property currently has a single family home, a two -car garage, and a patio with 28.3 percent allowed lot coverage due to its nonconforming use status. These features constitute reasonable use for a property zoned single family residential. Furthermore, the city's highest density detached single family residential district, RLM, which allows for similarly sized lots, 9,000 square foot minimum, only permits 35 percent lot coverage. The proposed project's lot coverage exceeds even this threshold and the St. Hubertus subdivision has none of the land dedications or storinwater infi-astructure designed to offset the increased amount of lot coverage permitted in RLM.

Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance – Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 7 of 9 Second Driveway Access The city limits residential properties to a single driveway access in order to prevent a high density of driveway accesses along roads serving residential districts and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan espouses a minimum spacing of at least 40 feet between driveways. These limits exist to I I: --A 4—= : Vievent possib e pub c satuty %, bau%;a that can emerge from a high concentration of closely spaced driveways, and also from aesthetic considerations involving insuring adequate greenspace and providing for an appealing viewscape in residential neighborhoods. A final reason for the existence of the one driveway ordinance is that it deters individuals from using large detached accessory structures to house home occupations in violation of city ordinances. The applicant's proposed use of the detached garage is not anticipated to create public safety or traffic issues, and the storage of the fire truck within the garage would preclude its being used to house a business; however, the requested variance would allow for that structure and its driveway to exist in perpetuity. Permitting a second driveway access to an oversized detached garage could lead to future issues with businesses being run from the garage, and establishes a precedent of allowing multiple driveways to provide access to detached garages. A visual survey of aerial photos found two properties in the St. Hubertus subdivision with a nonconforming second driveway access. Staff believes it is possible to provide access to the proposed garage via the existing driveway which would remove the need for a second driveway access variance. Impact on Neighborhood St. Hubertus is one of the oldest subdivions in the city and aerial photos show that many, if not most, of the properties in the neighborhood do not conform to current setback or hardcover standards. Staff is aware of eight separate variances being granted to properties within 500 feet of the applicants, and six of those where for the construction of garages; however, the garages variances were granted to properties that either did not have existing garages or which wished to expand single stall garages to two stall garages. Detached garages within the St. Hubertus subdivision tend to be located in the rear yard, and staff could find only one example of a similarly sized and situated detached garage. Staff also found two single stall garages positioned roughly parallel to the principle structures front yard setback, and two properties where the principle structure is setback behind the detached garage. Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 8 of 9 While the distance of the proposed garage from the street would not be atypical of the area nor would the presence of a detached garage, staff could only find two other properties with both an attached and detached garage. In both cases, the garages were served by a single driveway. If the garage was designed and constructed in the manner proposed by the applicant its appearance would not be out of character for the neighborhood; however, the presence of multiple garages and driveway accesses is not typical for the area. St. Hubertus Planimetric Note: Darker red is existing buildings, lighter red is existing driveway, darker blue is proposed garage, lighter blue is proposed driveway, and red X is the shed to be removed. SUNUMLARY The applicant wishes to construct a detached garage which would be located within multiple required yard setbacks, requires a second driveway access, and would increase the property's impervious surface coverage beyond what is permitted in its zoning district. The purpose of the garage would be to house an antique firetruck. The small size of the applicants' lot severely restricts their ability to improve the property. The applicant currently has reasonable use of the property and many lots zoned for single-family detached homes cannot accommodate the storage of large pieces of equipment. The proposed project will increase the property's impervious surface and stormwater runoff in a neighborhood Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 9 of 9 with a history of street flooding and allowing a second driveway access would be inconsistent with what is already present within the neighborhood. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the request for a I 0 -foot west front yard setback, a 4.3 -foot south front yard setback, a 5 -foot rear yard setback, a 12.4 percent lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions.

On November 21, 2017, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by published and mailed notice. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 12, Block 2, City Lots of Chanhassen 4. Variance Findinas — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: It is the intent of the City Code to allow for residential homeowners to be able to store vehicles and possessions on site, and, in many instances, the City Code requires these items to be stored indoors. Construction a detached garage to facilitate the storage of a vehicle is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the city's zoning code. b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Finding: Due to the substandard size of the applicant's lot there is no possibility for them to construct a detached garage to house the firetruck with the bounds established by the city's zoning code. The resident's goal of construction a single accessory structure to facilitate the storing of a collector's vehicle onsite is reasonable. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The desire for a detached garage is not based upon economic considerations. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The property is a substandard lot plated in 1887. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city and large detached garages which do not conform to the existing zoning ordinances are fairly common. Allowing the construction of the proposed detached garage will not significantly alter the neighborhood's character. f. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter. Finding: This does not apply to this request. 5. The planning report #2017-20, dated November 21, 2017, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is incorporated herein. DECISION "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the variance request for a 10 foot west front yard setback, a 4.3 foot south front yard setback, a 5 foot rear yard setback, a 12.4 percent lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached finings of Facts and Decisions: I .

ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 21 st day of November, 2017. M CITY OF CHANHASSEN Chairman CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION (DENIED) IN RE: Application of Richard and Elizabeth Nustad for variance from their property's 30 -foot required front yard setbacks, I 0 -foot rear yard setback, 25 percent lot coverage limit, and one driveway per residential parcel restriction in order to build a detached garage on a property zoned Single Family Residential District (RSF)-Planning Case 2017-20. On November 21, 2017, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by published and mailed notice. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 12, Block 2, City Lots of Chanhassen 4. Variance Findings — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: The city regulates lot coverage in order to manage stormwater runoff. Allowing a property zoned for 25 percent impervious surface coverage to add an additional 12.4 percent lot coverage is not in harmony with the codes intent in limiting residential lot coverage. It is the city's intent in limiting residential properties to a single driveway access to prevent the creation of property configurations that encourage the proliferation of illegal home occupations. Permitting a large detached structure with an independent driveway access to be constructed in a single-family residential district is contrary to that intent. b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not pennitted by this Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Finding: The parcel has detached single family home, two -car garage, and patio which allows for reasonable use of a property zoned for residential single-family use. The inability of the parcel to accommodate the storage of a large collector's vehicle is not a practical difficulty. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The desire for a detached garage is not based upon economic considerations. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The applicant purchased the firetruck subsequent to their purchase of the home. The need for a large accessory storage building on the lot is the result of their purchasing the firetruck. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: Permitting the construction of a second garage served by a second driveway access would not be in character with the surrounding neighborhood. f. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter. Finding: This does not apply to this request. 5. The planning report #2017-20, dated November 21, 2017, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is incorporated herein. DECISION "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies a 10 foot west front yard setback, a 4.3 foot south front yard setback, a 5 foot rear yard setback, a 12.4% lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions."

This standard is in place to improve safety and reduce driveway confusion. The proposed spacing is approximately four feet between the existing driveway and the proposed driveway. This does not meet the standard set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not recommend approval of the variance for a second driveway access onto Erie Avenue. Staff has recommended the applicant tie the proposed driveway into the existing driveway, thereby only having one driveway access for the property. If the applicant incorporates this recommendation into their design, a variance for a second diiveway access would not be necessary. Impervious Surface This area of Chanhassen was platted in 1889. Although some stormwater pipe was constructed in the area in the 1960's and a stormwater pond was constructed in the 1980's, there is insufficient treatment of that stormwater by current standards. This neighborhood also has a known history of street flooding. This parcel is already 3.3 percent over the maximum 25 percent hardcover allowed. The proposed garage and driveway would increase this non -conformity 12.4 percent over the allowed maximum or 37.4 percent in total. Staff does not recommend granting the hardcover variance, as this will increase stormwater runoff in an under -treated neighborhood that has known flooding.

Plans are for garage to match house with external colors and lighting and to blend in with surroundings. 6.13. our lot is part of old original plots for Chanhassen therefore they are smaller in size then newer lots.also known as sub standard lot.. 6.C. purpose for variance for garage isto house antique firetruck and that is all. Garage dimensions are minimized from original drawings to include fire engine only. We have had truck for 5 years and have been paying for outdoor storage and want to bring truck inside from the elements to prevent further damage to truck -rust, rain sunlight etc. long term plan is to restore truck fully and participate in parades etc. 6.1). We purchased house 19 years ago and this was the lot size at that time and we need variance to build accessory structure. 6.E. we want to build accessory building to house antique fire truck. We want to maintain the integrity of neighborhood. There are other similar /bigger garage structures in neighborhood. If granted our variance, the outside of our garage will be free of any debris,junk,parts,etc. the outside will be clean and well kept and landscaped. '1AAHAS'p 2 Li 2017 SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 THIS LETTER IS TO EXPLAIN OUR REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE AT 7721 ERIE AVENUE CHANHASSEN. MY WIFE ELIZABETH AND I ARE THE PROUD OWNERS OF A 1969 MACK FIRETRUCK THAT WAS RETIRED IN 1998 FROM EXCELSIOR WHICH WAS MY HOMETOWN, OUR LONG TERM GOAL IS TO RESTORE THE TRUCK . WE CURRENTLY HAVE USED IT IN PARADES IN DELANO, HOPKINS, EXCELSIOR, BURNSVILLE, MOUND AND WE WERE IN THE 2015 4 Tll OF JULY PARADE IN CHANHASSEN AND THE CHANHASSEN ROTARY SPONSORED US FROM A REQUEST MADE FROM OUR NEIGHBORS JACK AND PAULA ATKINS. WE HAVE STORED THE TRUCK AT A STORAGE FACILITY IN JONATHON (OUTDOORS) BUT WANT IT INDOORS AWAY FROM THE ELEMENTS. WE HAVE PUT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY INTO THIS DECISION TO GO FOR A VARIANCE. WE ALSO HAVE CONSIDERED OUR NEIGHBORS AND WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE FEEDBACK WILL BE POSITIVE FROM OUR NEIGHBORS. WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF NEIGHBORS STOP BY AND SOME GOT RIDES AND THERE KIDS OR GRANDKIDS ALSO. AND OTHERS HAVE STOPPED AND TAKEN PICS ETC AND SAID IT'S PRETTY COOL. THE OTHER CONSIDERATION IS THAT WE WANT THE GARAGE TO LOOK AND FEEL AS NATURAL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE OUR DRAWINGS AND HAVE MODIFIED THEM TO BRING THE LENGTH AND HEIGHT DOWN FROM THE ORIGINAL SPECS. IF APPROVED WE WILL USE A QUALITY BUILDER AND FOLLOW ALL RULES AND REGULATIONS. MY CURRENT JOB AS DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE FOR THE FOSS SWIM SCHOOL HAS PREPARED ME IN DEALING WITH CONTRACTORS AND GETTING THE JOB DONE RIGHT. WE ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER THIS VARIANCE FOR US. MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 19 YEARS AND LOVE CHANHASSEN AND I REMEMBER COMING TO FRONTIER DAYS IN THE 1960s AND HAVE SEEN THIS TOWN GROW FROM A SMALL FARMTOWN TO IT'S CURRENT STATUS. MY WIFE LIZ HAS WORKED FOR METHODIST HOSPITAL IN ST.LOUIS PARK FOR 23 YEARS. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NO KIDS WE DO HAVE A BASSET HOUND NAMED HENRY WHO REALLY WANTS THIS GARAGE TO COME TO FRUITION AND OUR CAT IDA ROSE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME Rick and Liz Nustad OF f."JANHAS' rISCOvEL'-,",� I ; OCTI 2;' Smith, Stephanie To: Walters, MacKenzie Cc: Bender, George; Strong, Vanessa Subject: 7721 Erie Avenue - Variance Request MacKenzie, I have reviewed the application for variance at 7721 Erie Avenue and have comments below. Please include them in the staff report for this planning commission item. Proposed Driveway The 2030 Comprehensive Plan calls out a minimum 40' spacing between driveways. This standard is in place to improve safety and reduce driveway confusion. The proposed spacing is approximately 4 feet between the existing driveway and the proposed driveway. This does not meet the standard set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Stormwater This area of Chanhassen was platted in 1889. Although, some stormwater pipe was constructed in the area in the 1960's, there is insufficient treatment of that stormwater by current standards. This parcel is already 3.3% over the maximum 25% hardcover allowed. The proposed garage and driveway would increase this non -conformity to 37.4%. Staff does not recommend granting the hardcover variance, as this will increase stormwater runoff in an under -treated area of the City. If the variance is approved, the applicant shall/constrLtct stormwater BIVIP to treat all runoff created by the additional impervious surface. -11we- ttv,.L Cyj hlx� fssa'4b LOU^ S �")4_ *Wk tt',19 The applicant proposes to add more th'an 00 sq<uaret of impervious surface to the parceT. This would trigger the rules for the Riley -Purgatory -Bluff Creek:Wate d District.

(Note: A motion for approval and appropriate findings of fact are also included at the end of the report.) SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a variance from their property's 30 -foot required front yard setbacks, 10 foot rear yard setback, 25 percent lot coverage limit, and one driveway per residential parcel restriction in order to build a detached garage to house a 1969 Mack Firetruck. The proposed 700 square foot garage would maintain the home's current nonconforming ��west front yard setback, would encroach 4.3 feet into the southern front yard setback from the alley right of way, would encroach five feet into the property's rear yard se crease the property's lot 90Vera1geft6ri-i& eurrpnt nonconforming 28.3 percent o 37.4 percent, would require a second drivewayacceW.

The city has a relatively high Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 2 of 9 level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to aU property owners within 500 feet PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The homeowners' own a 1969 Mack Firetruck which they use for parades in this and surrounding communities. They are currently storing the firetruck off site at an outdoor storage facility; however, they would like to store it indoors and restore it. Due to the size of the firetruck, their existing 18.7 foot by 22.5 -foot garage cannot accommodate it, and they would need to construct a 20 foot by 35 -foot garage and second driveway to facilitate on site storage. The applicant has noted that their lot was plated before current zoning requirements were enacted and that it is significantly smaller than the minimum size required for lots zoned Single Family Residential District. They have stated that the substandard nature of their lot is the primary reason why they require a variance in order to construct the proposed accessory structure. i tie property owners nave expressea weir mtention to construct a detached garage that matches the existing house and fits into the existing character of the neighborhood.

The city does not have any information on this property prior to 1979. On May 28, 1999, the current owner bought the house. SITE CONDITIONS The property and surrounding neighborhood is zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF). This zoning district requires lots to be a minimum of 15,000 square feet, have front yard setbacks of 30 feet, rear yard setbacks of 3 0 feet, side yard setbacks of 10 feet, and limits lot coverage to a maximum of 25 percent of lot area. Residential structures are limited to 35 feet in height. Accessory structures are limited to 20 feet in height, may not occupy more than 30 percent of the area of a rear yard, may not exceed 1,000 square feet, and must be located within the buildable lot area or meet stipulated accessory structure setbacks. The lot is an 8,529 square foot lot that currently has 2,417 square feet of impervious surface resulting in 28.3 percent lot coverage. The lot technically has 3 front yard setbacks due to a plated alleyway to the south, even though the alley is not physically present. The existing house is setback 20 feet from the western front lot line and the existing attached garage is setback 25.1 feet from the western front lot line. The house and attached garage are substantially in compliance with all other setbacks. There is also an existing shed which is setback approximately six feet from the rear property line and approximately 17 feet from the southern front property line. The location of the house, attached garage, shed, and site's lot coverage are considered nonconforming uses. NEIGHBORHOOD St. Hubertus/City lots of Chanhassen The plat for this area was recorded in October of 1887. Residential lots in this neighborhood vary between. 16 and .39 acres. The larger lots are the results of lots being split and merged Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 4 of 9 to adjoining properties after the original plat was filed. The lots retaining their original dimensions appear to average around .20 acres. Due to the predominately small lot sizes and age of the structures, detached garages are common, and many properties in the neighborhood do not meet the required setbacks and exceed 25 percent lot coverage.

The existing house has a 20 -foot setback from Erie Ave and its attached garage has a 25 -foot setback. The proposed detached garage would have a 20 -foot setback from Erie Ave. Since the garage needs to be 35 feet deep to accommodate the fire truck and the lot is only sixty feet deep it would be impossible design a garage that could store the fire truck while meeting the required fi-ont yard setback. Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 5 of 9 Many of the lots in the St. Hubertus subdivision do not meet the city's minimurn RSF lot dimensions of 90 feet of frontage and 125 feet of depth. Of the 47 properties within 500 feet of 7721 Erie Avenue, 3 have applied for and received variances from the required front yard setbacks. South Front Yard Setback There is a city owned right of way for the construction of an alley to the south of the applicants' property. The presence of this right of way means that the zoning code requires a 30 -foot front yard setback be maintained from the southern property line. No alleyway is present within this right of way, there are no plans to construct an alleyway in this location, and it appears that part of the eastern section of the alley , s right of way was vacated. There is an existing shed located entirely within the southern front yard setback, and the neighbor's shed is located partially within the alley's right of way. Throughout the neighborhood multiple houses, garages, and sheds are located within the 30 -foot setbacks of the subdivision's empty right of ways. The proposed detached garage would be 26.7 feet from the southern lot line and 42.7 feet from the neighbor's property. If not for the alley's right of way, the property would be subject to a I 0 -foot side yard setback along the southern property line. Rear Yard Setback Since the lot is bordered on three sides by streets and/or public right of way, its rear yard is subject to a I 0 -foot setback rather than the standard 30 -foot rear ,trnvrl va+lk A- T1, -A A-+--U-A 1A 11.

An existing 96 square -foot shed is setback approximately six feet from the rear lot line, which the applicant plans to remove as part of this project. Due to the size of the firetruck and narrowness of the lot, it is not possible to construct a garage that could accommodate the firetruck within the required setbacks. The city requires rear yard setbacks and limits the percent of the rear yard which can be occupied by an accessory structure in order to ensure a minimum amount of greenspace and balance the interests of the property owner with that of their neighbors.

In this instance, the orientation of the Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 6 of 9 neighboring houses means that the proposed location of the detached garage would not be expected to negatively impact the adjacent properties. Many properties in this neighborhood have been unable construct accessory structures that meet the required setbacks. Of the 47 properties within 500 feet, five have been granted side and/or rear setback variances for the construction or expansion of garages. Imperwous Surface The city limits the amount of lot cover which can be installed on a property in order prevent stormwater issues and negative impacts to the surrounding properties caused by increased volumes and rates of runoff during rain events. The city's engineering staff has noted that this area of the city does not meet current stormwater treatment standards and that it has a history of street flooding. They have stated that allowing the property to finther increase its lot coverage will increase stormwater runoff in an under -treated neighborhood that has known flooding. The proposed plan would increase the property's lot coverage to 37.4 percent by adding an additional 773 square feet of impervious surface. The property currently exceeds the RSF district's limit of 25 percent lot coverage by 285 square feet, 3.3 percent. The applicant is proposing to remove a 97 square foot shed and I 10 square feet of patio to reduce the amount of impervious surface on the property, however, constructing the attached garage will cause the property to exceed its allowed lot coverage of 2,132 square feet by 1,058 square feet. The applicant has noted that their 8,529 square foot lot is significantly smaller than the 15,000 square feet required in the RSF district, and that applying the 25 percent lot coverage standard to such a small lot significantly restricts their ability to improve the property. While this is true, the property currently has a single family home, a two -car garage, and a patio with 28.3 percent allowed lot coverage due to its nonconforming use status. These features constitute reasonable use for a property zoned single family residential. Furthermore, the city's highest density detached single family residential district, RLM, which allows for similarly sized lots, 9,000 square foot minimum, only permits 35 percent lot coverage. The proposed project's lot coverage exceeds even this threshold and the St. Hubertus subdivision has none of the land dedications or stormwater infrastructure designed to offset the increased amount of lot coverage permitted in RLM. or P 'woo two mg Z ;8 31 X owl an S U -n-51- *r-1 remove a 97 square foot shed and I 10 square feet of patio to reduce the amount of impervious surface on the property, however, constructing the attached garage will cause the property to exceed its allowed lot coverage of 2,132 square feet by 1,058 square feet.

Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance - Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 7 of 9 Second Driveway Access The city limits residential properties to a single driveway access in order to prevent a high density of driveway accesses along roads serving residential districts and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan espouses a minimum spacing of at least 40 feet between driveways. These limits exist to _:U1 -1-1. —416-4 Fl%,VV,LIL FUb C; p C Salul c ssues that can emerge from a high concentration of closely spaced driveways, and also from aesthetic considerations involving insuring adequate greenspace and providing for an appealing viewscape in residential neighborhoods. A final reason for the existence of the one driveway ordinance is that it deters individuals from using large detached accessory structures to house home occupations in violation of city ordinances. The applicant's proposed use of the detached garage is not anticipated to create public safety or traffic issues, and the storage of the fire truck within the garage would preclude its being used to house a business; however, the requested variance would allow for that structure and its driveway to exist in perpetuity. Permitting a second driveway access to an oversized detached garage could lead to future issues with businesses being run from the garage, and establishes a precedent of allowing multiple driveways to provide access to detached garages. A visual survey of aerial photos found two properties in the St. Hubertus subdivision with a nonconforming second driveway access. Staff believes it is possible to provide access to the proposed garage via the existing driveway which would remove the need for a second driveway access variance. Impact on Neighborhood St. Hubertus is one of the oldest subdivions in the city and aerial photos show that many, if not most, of the properties in the neighborhood do not conform to current setback or hardcover standards. Staff is aware of eight separate variances being granted to properties within 500 feet of the applicants, and six of those where for the construction of garages; however, the garages variances were granted to properties that either did not have existing garages or which wished to expand single stall garages to two stall garages. Detached garages within the St. Hubertus subdivision tend to be located in the rear yard, and staff could find only one example of a similarly sized and situated detached garage. Staff also found two single stall garages positioned roughly parallel to the principle structures front yard setback, and two properties where the principle structure is setback behind the detached garage. Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 8 of 9 VAfile the distance of the proposed garage from the street would not be atypical of the area nor would the presence of a detached garage, staff could only find two other properties with both an attached and detached garage. In both cases, the garages were served by a single driveway. If the garage was designed and constructed in the manner proposed by the applicant its appearance would not be out of character for the neighborhood; however, the presence of multiple garages and driveway accesses is not typical for the area. St. Hubertus Planimetric Tnh St dimd arl Note: Darker red is existing buildings, lighter red is existing driveway, darker blue is proposed garage, lighter blue is proposed driveway, and red X is the shed to be removed. SUMMARY The applicant wishes to construct a detached garage which would be located within multiple required yard setbacks, requires a second driveway access, and would increase the property's impervious surface coverage beyond what is pein itted in its zoning district. The purpose of the garage would be to house an antique firetruck. The small size of the applicants' lot severely restricts their ability to improve the property. The applicant currently has reasonable use of the property and many lots zoned for single-family detached homes cannot accommodate the storage of large pieces of equipment. The proposed project will increase the property's impervious surface and stormwater runoff in a neighborhood Planning Commission 7721 Erie Avenue Variance — Planning Case 2017-20 November 21, 2017 Page 9 of 9 with a history of street flooding and allowing a second driveway access would be inconsistent with what is already present within the neighborhood.

On November 21, 2017, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Planning Conunission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by published and mailed notice. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 12, Block 2, City Lots of Chanhassen 4. Variance Findings — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: It is the intent of the City Code to allow for residential homeowners to be able to store vehicles and possessions on site, and, in many instances, the City Code requires these items to be stored indoors. Construction a detached garage to facilitate the storage of a vehicle is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the city's zoning code. b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Finding: Due to the substandard size of the applicant's lot there is no possibility for them to construct a detached garage to house the firetruck with the bounds established by the city's zoning code. The resident's goal of construction a single accessory structure to facilitate the storing of a collector's vehicle onsite is reasonable. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The desire for a detached garage is not based upon economic considerations. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The property is a substandard lot plated in 1887. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city and large detached garages which do not conform to the existing zoning ordinances are fairly common. Allowing the construction of the proposed detached garage will not significantly alter the neighborhood's character. f Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter.

MX CITY OF CHANHASSEN Chairman CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION (DENIED) IN RE: Application of Richard and Elizabeth Nustad for variance from their property's 30 -foot required front yard setbacks, I 0 -foot rear yard setback, 25 percent lot coverage limit, and one driveway per residential parcel restriction in order to build a detached garage on a property zoned Single Family Residential District (RSF)-Planning Case 2017-20. On November 21, 2017, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by published and mailed notice. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 12, Block 2, City Lots of Chanhassen 4. Variance Findings — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances arc consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: The city regulates lot coverage in order to manage stormwater runoff. Allowing a property zoned for 25 percent impervious surface coverage to add an additional 12.4 percent lot coverage is not in harmony with the codes intent in limiting residential lot coverage. It is the city's intent in limiting residential properties to a single driveway access to prevent the creation of property configurations that encourage the proliferation of illegal home occupations. Permitting a large detached structure with an independent driveway access to be constructed in a single-family residential district is contrary to that intent. b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Finding: The parcel has detached single family home, two -car garage, and patio which allows for reasonable use of a property zoned for residential single-family use. The inability of the parcel to accommodate the storage of a large collector's vehicle is not a practical difficulty. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The desire for a detached garage is not based upon economic considerations. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: ne applicant purchased the firetruck subsequent to their purchase of the home. The need for a large accessory storage building on the lot is the result of their purchasing the firetruck. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: Permitting the construction of a second garage served by a second driveway access would not be in character with the surrounding neighborhood. f Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harrnony with this Chapter. Finding: This does not apply to this request. 5. The planning report #2017-20, dated November 21, 2017, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is incorporated herein. DECISION "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies a 10 foot west front yard setback, a 4.3 foot south front yard setback, a 5 foot rear yard setback, a 12.4% lot coverage, and a second driveway access variance for the construction of a detached garage, and adopts the attached finding of Facts and Decisions."

We have had truck for 5 years and have been paying for outdoor storage and want to bring truck inside from the elements to prevent further damage to truck -rust, rain sunlight etc. long term plan is to restore truck fully and participate in parades etc. 6.D. We purchased house 19 years ago and this was the lot size at that time and we need variance to build accessory structure. 6.E. we want to build accessory building to house antique fire truck. We want to maintain the integrity of neighborhood. There are other similar /bigger garage structures in neighborhood. If granted our variance, the outside of our garage will be free of any debrisjunkparts,etc. the outside will be clean and well kept and landscaped.

This standard is in place to improve safety and reduce driveway confusion. ne proposed spacing is approximately four feet between the existing driveway and the proposed driveway. This does not meet the standard set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not recommend approval of the variance for a second driveway access onto Erie Avenue. Staff has recommended the applicant tie the proposed driveway into the existing driveway, thereby only having one driveway access for the property. If the applicant incorporates this recommendation into their design, a variance for a second driveway access would not be necessary. Impervious Surface This area of Chanhassen was platted in 1889. Although some stormwater pipe was constructed in the area in the 1960's and a stormwater pond was constructed in the 1980's, there is insufficient treatment of that stormwater by current standards. This neighborhood also has a known history of street flooding. This parcel is already 3.3 percent over the maximum 25 percent hardcover allowed. The proposed garage and driveway would increase this non -conformity 12.4 percent over the allowed maximum or 37.4 percent in total. Staff does not recommend granting the hardcover variance, as this will increase stormwater runoff in an under -treated neighborhood that has known flooding.

Conditions of Approval: 1. Applicant shall submit a scale copy of existing and proposed plans. 2. Applicant shall work with staff to revise their design toward minimizing the amount of hardcover. 3.

WE HAVE STORED THE TRUCK AT A STORAGE FACILITY IN JONATHON (OUTDOORS) BUT WANT IT INDOORS AWAY FROM THE ELEMENTS. WE HAVE PUT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY INTO THIS DECISION TO GO FOR A VARIANCE. WE ALSO HAVE CONSIDERED OUR NEIGHBORS AND WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE FEEDBACK WILL BE POSITIVE FROM OUR NEIGHBORS. WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF NEIGHBORS STOP BY AND SOME GOT RIDES AND THERE KIDS OR GRANDKIDS ALSO. AND OTHERS HAVE STOPPED AND TAKEN PICS ETC AND SAID IT'S PRETTY COOL. THE OTHER CONSIDERATION IS THAT WE WANT THE GARAGE TO LOOK AND FEEL AS NATURAL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE OUR DRAWINGS AND HAVE MODIFIED THEM TO BRING THE LENGTH AND HEIGHT DOWN FROM THE ORIGINAL SPECS. IF APPROVED WE WILL USE A QUALITY BUILDER AND FOLLOW ALL RULES AND REGULATIONS. MY CURRENT JOB AS DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE FOR THE FOSS SWIM SCHOOL HAS PREPARED ME IN DEALING WITH CONTRACTORS AND GETTING THE JOB DONE RIGHT. WE ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER THIS VARIANCE FOR US. MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 19 YEARS AND LOVE CHANHASSEN AND I REMEMBER COMING TO FRONTIER DAYS IN THE 1960s AND HAVE SEEN THIS TOWN GROW FROM A SMALL FARMTOWN TO IT'S CURRENT STATUS. MY WIFE LIZ HAS WORKED FOR METHODIST HOSPITAL IN ST.LOUIS PARK FOR 23 YEARS.

Plans are for garage to match house with external colors and lighting and to blend in with surroundings. 6.13. our lot is part of old original plots for Chanhassen therefore they are smaller in size then newer lots.also known as sub standard lot.. 6.C. purpose for variance for garage is to house antique firetruck and that is all. Garage dimensions are minimized from original drawings to include fire engine only. We have had truck for 5 years and have been paying for outdoor storage and want to bring truck inside from the elements to prevent further damage to truck -rust, rain sunlight etc. long term plan is to restore truck fully and participate in parades etc. 6.D. We purchased house 19 years ago and this was the lot size at that time and we need variance to build accessory structure . 6.E. we want to build accessory building to house antique fire truck. We want to maintain the integrity of neighborhood. There are other similar /bigger garage structures in neighborhood. If granted our variance, the outside of our garage will be free of any debris,junk,parts,etc. the outside will be clean and well kept and landscaped. OFCANHAS, of N - %at 2 Li 2017 SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 THIS LETTER IS TO EXPLAIN OUR REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE AT 7721 ERIE AVENUE CHAN HASSE N. MY WIFE ELIZABETH AND I ARE THE PROUD OWNERS OF A 1969 MACK FIRETRUCK THAT WAS RETIRED IN 1998 FROM EXCELSIOR WHICH WAS MY HOMETOWN. OUR LONG TERM GOAL IS TO RESTORE THE TRUCK. WE CURRENTLY HAVE USED IT IN PARADES IN DELANO, HOPKINS, EXCELSIOR, BURNSVILLE , MOUND AND WE WERE IN THE 2015 4 TH OF JULY PARADE IN CHANHASSEN AND THE CHANHASSEN ROTARY SPONSORED US FROM A REQUEST MADE FROM OUR NEIGHBORS JACK AND PAULA ATKINS. WE HAVE STORED THE TRUCK AT A STORAGE FACILITY IN JONATHON (OUTDOORS) BUT WANT IT INDOORS AWAY FROM THE ELEMENTS. WE HAVE PUT A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY INTO THIS DECISION TO GO FOR A VARIANCE. WE ALSO HAVE CONSIDERED OUR NEIGHBORS AND WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE FEEDBACK WILL BE POSITIVE FROM OUR NEIGHBORS. WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF NEIGHBORS STOP BY AND SOME GOT RIDES AND THERE KIDS OR GRANDKIDS ALSO. AND OTHERS HAVE STOPPED AND TAKEN PICS ETC AND SAID IT'S PRETTY COOL. THE OTHER CONSIDERATION IS THAT WE WANT THE GARAGE TO LOOK AND FEEL AS NATURAL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS POSSIBLE. WE HAVE OUR DRAWINGS AND HAVE MODIFIED THEM TO BRING THE LENGTH AND HEIGHT DOWN FROM THE ORIGINAL SPECS. IF APPROVED WE WILL USE A QUALITY BUILDER AND FOLLOW ALL RULES AND REGULATIONS. MY CURRENT JOB AS DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE FOR THE FOSS SWIM SCHOOL HAS PREPARED ME IN DEALING WITH CONTRACTORS AND GETTING THE JOB DONE RIGHT. WE ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER THIS VARIANCE FOR US. MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 19 YEARS AND LOVE CHANHASSEN AND I REMEMBER COMING TO FRONTIER DAYS IN THE 1960s AND HAVE SEEN THIS TOWN GROW FROM A SMALL FARMTOWN TO IT'S CURRENT STATUS.
