On May 15, 2012, 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 (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is Lots 2013 through 2020, and Lots 2051 through 2054, Carver Beach, according to the recorded plat thereof, Carver County, Minnesota. 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 request to allow two driveways on one property is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance. Driveways are an acceptable improvement within a single-family residential area. Parking is restricted on the adjacent roadway. 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: During the winter months, the current driveway is too steep for guests to safely park on this property. Parking is prohibited on Lotus Trail, the adjacent public street. The closest public street that does allow on -street parking is over 620 feet away. SCANNED 41 0 • c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based on economic considerations. The applicant is requesting a variance to permit two driveways in the RSF district for the construction of a detached garage for personal use. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The request is based on a unique circumstance: the existing steep driveway and prohibition of on -street parking does not provide a safe, convenient location for guests of the property to park. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: The addition of a second driveway will not alter the essential character of the locality. There are other properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property that have two driveways. 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 #2012-05, dated May 15, 2012, prepared by Alyson Fauske, et al, is incorporated herein. DECISION The Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves Planning Case 2012-05 for a variance to construct two driveways on one property for the construction of a detached garage on property zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF). 011110 ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments this 15th day of May, CITY OF CHANHASSEN gAplan\2012 planning cases\2012-05 6780 lotus trail driveway varianc6findings of fact.doc City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard P.O.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a variance to construct a second driveway to a proposed accessory structure on a property zoned Single Family Residential (RSF). LOCATION: 6780 Lotus Trail PID 25-1601640, 25-1601580 and 25-1601590 APPLICANTS: Peter Rocheford and Lisa Thompson 6780 Lotus Trail (7 Chanhassen, MN 55317 ` PRESENT ZONING: Single Family Residential (RSF) 2030 LAND USE PLAN: ACREAGE: 0.46 acres Residential Low Density 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. PROPOSAL SUMMARY The property currently has a single-family home, which includes a two -car garage and an 11-foot wide driveway. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a second driveway to a proposed accessory structure on a single-family residential lot. The existing driveway to the existing two -car garage would remain. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 20, Division 3, Variances. Chapter 20, Article XXIV, Off -Street Parking and Loading. SCANNED 0 4 Rocheford/Thompson Driveway Variance Request Planning Case 2012-05 May 15, 2012 Page 2 of 5 BACKGROUND The applicant states that during icy conditions visitors' vehicles parked on the existing driveway have slid down the driveway and onto Lotus Trail. Parking on Lotus Trail is prohibited because the street is only 19 feet wide. The applicant would like to build a detached, two -car garage on the south side of the property. The applicant requests a variance to construct a second driveway to the proposed garage to provide a safer place for guest parking. Section 20-1122 Access and Driveways The Zoning Ordinance allows for one driveway access from a single residential lot to the street. The Zoning Ordinance requires that driveway grades be between 0.5% and 10%. Staff field - verified that the current driveway grade ranges from 5% and 20%. The maximum grade stated in the Zoning Ordinance is not enforced upon existing driveways. ANALYSIS The applicant indicated that the existing driveway causes a safety concern because in the winter, cars have slid down the driveway due to the steep grade. The proposal for a second driveway does not eliminate the applicant's safety concern as long as the existing driveway will remain in place. Rocheford/Thompson Driveway Variance Request Planning Case 2012-05 May 15, 2012 Page 3 of 5 The existing grade at the proposed driveway location is about 18%. The applicant indicated that the garage floor elevation will be 938 feet; therefore, the proposed driveway would be at a 4.8% slope. The existing grade at the proposed driveway location. The following summarizes the applicable portions of Section 20-1122 of the City Code to the existing and proposed conditions: City Code Existing Driveway Proposed Driveway (2) Driveway grades shall be a 5% to 20%, does not meet code, 4.8%, meets code. minimum of 0.5% and a however code requirements are maximum grade of 10% at any not enforced on existing point in the driveway conditions. (3) Within the right of way Does not meet code, however Meets code. driveways should access city code requirements are not streets at 90 degrees. enforced on existing conditions. (6) The width of the driveway 201, meets code. 241, meets code. access shall not exceed 24 feet at the right of way line. (10) One driveway access is Meets code. Does not meet code allowed from a single unless the existing residential lot to the street. driveway is removed. The property presents a unique issue in that the existing driveway is not conducive for guest parking, and on -street parking is not allowed on Lotus Trail. The nearest public street where parking is allowed is over 620 feet away. Connecting the existing driveway to the proposed driveway would make it difficult for vehicles to negotiate the necessary turns to the existing garage. Rocheford/Thompson Driveway Variance Request Planning Case 2012-05 May 15, 2012 Page 4 of 5 New Garage / City Code regarding Non -Conforming Lots of Record Section 20-73(c) If two or more contiguous lots are in single ownership and if all or part of the lots do not meet the width and area requirements of this chapter for lots in the district, the contiguous lots shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purpose of this chapter. If part of the parcel is sold, the sale shall constitute a self-created hardship under the variance provisions of this chapter. The subject site is three lots of record, PID 25-1601640, 25-1601580 and 25-1601590. Non- conforming lots of record are platted lots that do not meet current ordinance requirements (area, width, depth and frontage). The intent of the non -conforming ordinance is to recognize the existence of uses, lots and structures which were lawful when established, but which no longer meet all ordinance requirements; prevent the enlargement, expansion, intensification or extension of any non -conforming use, building or structure; and encourage the elimination of non- conforming uses, lots and structures or reduce their impact on adjacent properties. The applicant is proposing a garage on two of the lots. These lots must be combined as one zoning lot and the applicant has applied to the Carver County to combine the lots. Prior to approving any building permit, the applicant must demonstrate that all hard cover (existing and proposed) on the lot meets the hard surface requirement of 25%. In addition, the garage must meet the Residential Single Family Zoning District setback of 30 feet front and rear and 10 feet on the side. 0 Rocheford/Thompson Driveway Variance Request Planning Case 2012-05 May 15, 2012 Page 5 of 5 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission grant the variance to allow two driveways on a property zoned Single Family Residential (RSF) lot, located at 6780 Lotus Trail, subject to the following conditions, and adopt the attached Findings of Fact and Decision. 1. The applicant must obtain a driveway permit and install any necessary erosion control measures prior to proceeding with the driveway installation. 2.

On May 15, 2012, 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 (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is Lots 2013 through 2020, and Lots 2051 through 2054, Carver Beach, according to the recorded plat thereof, Carver County, Minnesota. 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 request to allow two driveways on one property is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance. Driveways are an acceptable improvement within a single-family residential area. Parking is restricted on the adjacent roadway. 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: During the winter months, the current driveway is too steep for guests to safely park on this property. Parking is prohibited on Lotus Trail, the adjacent public street. The closest public street that does allow on -street parking is over 620 feet away. C. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based on economic considerations. The applicant is requesting a variance to permit two driveways in the RSF district for the construction of a detached garage for personal use. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The request is based on a unique circumstance: the existing steep driveway and prohibition of on -street parking does not provide a safe, convenient location for guests of the property to park. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: The addition of a second driveway will not alter the essential character of the locality. There are other properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property that have two driveways. 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 #2012-05, dated May 15, 2012, prepared by Alyson Fauske, et al, is incorporated herein. DECISION The Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves Planning Case 2012-05 for a variance to construct two driveways on one property for the construction of a detached garage on property zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF). 2012.

BACKGROUND I have 2 parcels of property with 3 PID numbers and I have completed the required forms with Carver County to have the parcels combined into one parcel with one PID number. This will be completed in November according to the County. My property does have a driveway but it is very steep, so steep that it is non conforming with the current slope requirements in the city code. In the winter, vehicles cannot be parked on the driveway because they can and have slid down off the driveway onto Lotus Trail. It is a real safety issue for my guests and visitors. Expanding the existing driveway into the adjacent is impractical because the surrounding area also too steep and hilly and would be extremely expensive to do. The area where I want to have an additional driveway and garage has very little slope and would be in harmony with the lots on either side next to my property and would not alter the essential character of the area. The new driveway would be 24 feet wide and 40 feet long from the edge of the street. The slope of the driveway would be less than 8%. The garage footprint would be 26 feet by 26 feet. This is an additional 1,635 of hardcover. Our total hardcover would then be 4,023 sq. ft. Our max hardcover allowable is 4,964. It should be noted that in our neighborhood there are homes that have 2 driveways, graveled traffic areas in the right of way and blacktopped parking areas in front of their homes in the right of way.
