Regulations
Ordinance No. 658 - Planned Unit Development Residential - Chaparral,
Chaparral 2nd Addition, and Chaparral 3rd Addition.
The ordinance amendment is proposing to remove dimensional deck
requirements for single-family homes and duplexes. The Chaparral PUDR
contains quadplexes, duplexes, and single-family homes. In the current PUDR
ordinance decks installed may only be 10 feet by 20 feet.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Motion to recommend the City Council adopt Ordinance XXX: Amending the Chaparral Planned
Unit Development Residential (PUDR)
SUMMARY
This proposed ordinance removes deck dimensional requirements for single-family houses and duplexes
within the Chaparral PUDR. The requirements for the quad-plex units will remain the same in the
211
application of regulations, however we are using this opportunity to clarify the wording of the
regulations for future reference. Amendment to the PUD as it relates to the quad plex units has not been
requested by the HOA.
BACKGROUND
Loren Jenson as a representative of the Chaparral HOA approached the city to propose an amendment
to the PUDR for Chaparral due to recent inquiries to the city's planning department for regulations
regarding the addition of new decks for duplexes within Chaparral. The Chaparral HOA no longer
wishes to regulate duplex decks to only be built one size and would like to implement a new regulation
of a maximum size, providing more flexibility for homeowners. Additionally, the Chaparral HOA states
the requirement for a 10-foot by 20-foot deck creates a financial burden for the HOA given the current
cost of labor and materials.
In discussion and review with the city, staff has concluded it is more effective to remove the
regulations; if the HOA wishes to regulate the sizes, it should be regulated through their HOA bylaws.
Within the City of Chanhassen, Chaparral is the only PUDR to regulate deck dimensions explicitly.
Elsewhere in the city, decks are implicitly regulated through building setbacks.
DISCUSSION
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Ordinance as presented.

My name is Loren Jenson. I own a property in the Chaparral Homeowners Association (the
"Chaparral HOA') and I am the President of such association.
The Chaparral HOA consists of 98 duplexes in the Chaparral, Chaparral 2d Addition and Chaparral
3'd Addition to Planned Unit Development (the "PUD"). There are no duplexes from other associations in
the PUD. The Chaparral HOA wishes to amend Ordinance No. 658 regarding deck sizes for duplexes only.
Therefore, the desired change to Ordinance No.658 (the "Ordinance") would only affect the Chaparral
HOA.
Currently, the Ordinance states that decks must be exactly 10 feet by 20 feet. The current required
deck size is large relative to the size of duplexes in the Chaparral HOA (such duplexes are less than 2,000
square feet). Also, the current required deck size creates a financial burden for the Chaparral HOA given
the current cost of materials, labor, etc. to build a deck. Therefore, the Chaparral HOA wishes to amend
the Ordinance to state that decks for duplexes shall not exceed 10 feet bv 12 feet.
