SUGGESTED ACTION
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission approves the request for a variance to allow the construction
of deck at 7301 Laredo Drive, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings
of Facts and Decision."
SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a variance to replace a 7.5 x 9.75-foot deck with a 9.75-foot nonconforming
shoreland setback with a 9 x 15-foot deck with a 15-foot nonconforming shoreland setback.
The proposed deck does not encroach any closer to the lakeshore than the homes existing four season
porch. The proposed deck is shown to extend out to be in line with the existing porch.

BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting a variance to replace an existing deck at a larger size. Granting the variance
would allow the applicant to maintain an existing use on their property, as the existing deck is unsafe
for use.
DISCUSSION
The 2008 variance granted to this property the conversion of an existing deck to the four season porch
with a shoreland setback variance of 15 feet. In the original proposal for this project, the former
property owners requested a porch and the construction of an additional deck. The proposal for the
porch conversion was approved by City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
“The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the requested 15-foot shoreland setback
variance for the reconstruction of a deck on Lot 12, Block, 1, Sunrise Hills First Addition, subject to the
conditions of approval, and adopts the attached Findings of Facts and Decision.”

Proposal For Replacement of Exiting Deck
Dennis and Toni Flaherty
7301 Laredo Dr.
I was informed by Robert Generous, Senior City Planner, that a variance was necessary
for the proposed replacement deck on my home. The reason stated was that the prior
2008 addition and deck received a variance to be build in 2008.
The existing deck and spiral staircase are unsafe therefore need to be replaced. The
existing deck and staircase is 147"wide x 132" deep. The proposed deck (there will
not be a staircase) is 105' wide by 1 78" deep. The proposed deck is not any closer to
the lake than the deck and addition built in 2008.
I have included a photo of the existing deck and spiral staircase for clarification.
I trust this proposal will meet the needs of the variance reguirement.

Written iustification o{ how request complies with the findings for granting a variance (pursuant
to Section 2058) as follows:
a. As residents and home owners of Chanhassen since 't 984 our approach to living in
Chanhassen correlates well with the Comprehensive plan. lt is important to us to live in a
community that supports its residents and the quality of their lives within the community.
Our Project (the removal of a small deck and spiral staircase) and the building of deck without
stairs which a variance is needed because the initial addition required a variance. We are
proud to offer our Proiect for approval as it aligns with the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan .
1 . The new deck supports the existing use of the land within the comprehensive plan
as a residential home.
2. Our house will maintain it's value by replacing an aging deck and staircase as well as
keeping the original look of the home consistent. This deck is the only deck and is
small (less than 135 sq feet) which supports the original look of the home in design
and size.
3. The area of the deck does not change or infringe on any trees or vegetation on our
lot keeping all of our beautiful trees and plantings.
4. The new deck is not any closer to Lotus Lake than the addition that received a
variance in 2008.
5. The deck will not alter any of the existing home gutters or downspouts insuring the
rain water will continue to be managed properly.
6. The deck will meet our future needs of aging in place. lt will allow us to enioy the lake
from our deck without requiring us to climb stairs to use the deck and enjoy the
outside and the views of Lotus Lake.
Thank you
Dennis Flaherty

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a variance to replace a 7.5 x 9.75-foot deck with a 9.75-foot
nonconforming shoreland setback with a 9 x 15-foot deck with a 15-foot nonconforming
shoreland setback.

PRESENT ZONING: Single Family Residential
Distract (RSF)
2040 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density
ACREAGE: 0.59 acres DENSITY: NA
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The city’s discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the proposed
project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The city has a relatively high
level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established
standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
PROPOSED MOTION:
“The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the requested 15-foot shoreland
setback variance for the reconstruction of a deck on Lot 12, Block, 1, Sunrise Hills First Addition,
subject to the conditions of approval, and adopts the attached Findings of Facts and Decision.”

Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing replacing an existing deck. The proposal would increase the non-
conforming setbacks for the existing deck, resulting in a 15-foot shoreland setback, but would
not increase the overall nonconforming shoreland setback of the property. The resulting changes
will not increase the lots’ impervious lot coverage, as the deck is above an existing patio. The
applicant has stated that the proposed deck replacement is necessary as the current deck is in
disrepair and is no longer safe for use. They have noted that the proposed deck placement will
not encroach into the shoreland setback any further than the existing, approved porch. This
change increases the amount of useable rear yard area on the property. Finally, they observed
that the property’s substandard size and existing non-nonconformities make it impractical to
replace the existing deck without requesting a variance. Given the unique constraints of the lot,
staff are recommending that the Planning Commission approve the requested shoreland setback
variance.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
• Chapter 20, Division 3, Variances.
• Chapter 20, Article XII, Shoreland Management District.
• Chapter 20, Article XII, Single Family Residential (RSF) District
BACKGROUND
The property is located on
Lot 12, Block 1, Sunrise Hills
Addition, which is zoned
Single Family Residential
(RSF). Sunrise Hills Addition
was created in 1956 and
consists of 28 lots. The
subject property was
developed in 1960 prior to
the adoption of the Shoreland
District Regulations and does
not meet the current
standards for a riparian lot.
The lot has an area of 23,701
square feet (0.59 acres). The
minimum lot area for a
riparian lot in the RSF district
is 40,000 square feet.

Page 3 of 5
The applicant received approval for a 15-foot shoreland setback variance in 1996 to allow a 60-
foot shoreland setback to construct the existing 15 x 20-foot deck. The deck was built over an
existing patio; therefore, it did not increase the hard surface coverage on the property. The
applicant received a setback variance in 2008 to convert the existing deck into a porch and
maintain the existing footprint.
The intent of the applicant’s proposal is to replace and expand the existing deck to usable
condition, to take advantage of the lake view. The property has space available within the
required setbacks in which to create more livable space in the side or front yard and would be
limited only by the site coverage on the property. According to the calculations on the certificate
of survey (house, driveway, sidewalks, patio, and cement stairs), the site is already above its
maximum lot coverage, but the deck will not be adding any impervious surface.
From a lakeview standpoint, the proposed 9 x 15-foot deck within the shoreland setback (to be
located over a portion of an existing paver patio) will increase the projection of the structure to
the lake from that area of the structure. While the proposed deck will not increase the hard
surface coverage on the site; it is an additional structure within the setback which increases the
nonconformity on the lot.
ZONING OVERVIEW
The property is zoned Residential Single Family (RSF) and is within the Shoreland Overlay
District.
Environmental Protection Districts
Bluff Creek Corridor - This is not encumbered by the Bluff Creek Overlay District.
Bluff Protection - No bluffs are present on the property.
Floodplain Overlay - The property is not within an area of elevated flood risk.
Shoreland Management - The property is within the Shoreland Management District for Lotus
Lake.
Wetland Protection - There is not a wetland located on the property.

ANALYSIS
Rear Setback
The existing deck has a rear
shoreland setback variance
of 9.75 feet. The applicant
is proposing reconstructing
the deck with a rear
shoreland variance of 15
feet. The applicant has
stated that they are
requesting these rear yard
setback variances in order to
maintain the usable area of
their property and increase
outdoor access to their rear
yard.
In determining the
reasonableness of the
requested rear yard setback
variances, the increase of
the existing non-conforming
setback should be considered. The applicant’s home was originally built closer to Lotus Lake
than the minimum distance required by the city’s zoning code. This property does not lend itself
to much expansion, especially facing the lake, therefore multiple variances have previously been
approved to increase the usable area in the rear yard.
The existing porch has a nonconforming 60-foot rear yard
setback and the applicant’s requested 60-foot setback for
the deck is of equal distance and a less intense use. For
these reasons, staff recommend approval of the proposed
rear yard setback variances.
The 2008 variance granted to this property the conversion
of an existing deck to a porch with a shoreland setback
variance of 15 feet. In the original proposal for this
project, the former property owners requested a porch and
the construction of an additional deck. The proposal for
the porch conversion was approved by City Council.
The applicant was granted a variance for an original deck
and its conversion to a porch. This variance request is
consistent with previous variance applications. Given the
Subject site
12
7301 Laredo Dr
October 3, 2023
Page 5
Page 5 of 5
above, staff does not expect the proposed deck to be out of keeping with the existing
neighborhood’s character or to negatively impact the neighboring properties.
The proposed deck will not increase the impervious coverage on the property or increase the lake
encroachment beyond that of previously granted variances. Additionally, the hardships listed by
the applicant are consistent with the criteria specified in the Zoning Ordinance for granting a
variance. Staff, therefore, is recommending approval of the variance.
If the Planning Commission feels that this variance request is a reasonable and does not
adversely affect the surrounding properties, as they are not increasing the impervious coverage or
the distance to the lake, the Planning Commission may decide to approve the application.
Should the Planning Commission decide to approve the variance request, staff would
recommend that, as a condition of such approval, the Planning Commission adopt the following
conditions:
1. A building permit must be obtained prior to demolishing any structures on the site and
before beginning any construction on the site.
2. Building plans must provide sufficient information to verify that the proposed building
meets all requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code, additional comments or
requirements may be required after plan review.
3. The installation of any improvements on the Site shall meet all applicable jurisdictional
requirements, including but not limited to the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources and the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District, and all applicable
permits shall be obtained prior to any site improvements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion and the adoption of
the attached findings of fact and action.
“The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the requested 15-foot shoreland
setback variance for the reconstruction of a deck on Lot 12, Block, 1, Sunrise Hills First
Addition, subject to the conditions of approval, and adopts the attached Findings of Facts and
Decision.”

CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
IN RE:
Application of Dennis Flaherty for rear yard setback variances to facilitate the reconstruction of an
existing deck, approved by a previous variance, on a property zoned Single Family Residential
District (RSF) – Planning Case 2023-19.
On October 3rd, 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: Lots 12, Block 1, Sunrise Hills First Addition
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 Code requires that properties are maintained and in usable condition.
Decks must be maintained structurally sound, in good repair, with proper anchorage and
capable of supporting the imposed loads. The variances to the lake setback is necessary for
the property owner to maintain their property. Repairing features of a property that are
required by City Code is consistent with the intent of the zoning code and Comprehensive
Plan.
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 literal enforcement of this chapter does cause undue hardship. The parcel predates
the shoreland zoning ordinance, as it was platted in 1956. Of the properties within 500 feet of
the parcel, four do not meet the 75-foot structure setback, three of which were granted variance
approval for the encroachment, including the subject property. While the applicant has
15
2
reasonable use of the property, this request is unique, in that the applicant would like to maintain
the usable area that they originally had when they purchased the property.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The variance request is not solely based upon economic considerations. The
property owner’s intent is to maintain the aesthetics and usable area of their home.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the
landowner.
Finding:The plight of the landowner is applicable to all lake shore properties that lie within
the Single-Family Residential District. The subject site predates the adoption of the Zoning and
Shoreland District regulations. Most of the homes meet the required shoreland setback. To
provide reasonable use of the lake shore lot, the applicant was granted a 15-foot lakeshore
variance in 1996 to construct a deck on the lake side of the home and was granted the same
variance in 2008 to convert said deck to a porch. Replacing the current deck will not encroach
farther than the current porch and will not add any additional hardcover.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: The character of this neighborhood is based primarily on its proximity to Lotus Lake.
The new deck would not negatively impact the neighborhood’s character as it will allow future
property owners to benefit from the lake view and will also benefit the neighbors as it will
improve outdoor neighborhood aesthetics.
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 #2023-19, dated October 3, 2023, prepared by Rachel Jeske is
incorporated herein.
DECISION
The Planning Commission approves the requested 15-foot shoreland setback variance for the
reconstruction of a deck, subject to the following conditions:
1. A building permit must be obtained prior to demolishing any structures on the site and before
beginning any construction on the site.
2. Building plans must provide sufficient information to verify that the proposed building meets
all requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code, additional comments or requirements
may be required after plan review.

3. The installation of any improvements on the Site shall meet all applicable jurisdictional
requirements, including but not limited to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
and the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District, and all applicable permits shall be
obtained prior to any site improvements.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 3rd day of October 2023.
