Aller: Any additional comments? Questions. Mr. McGonagill.
McGonagill: I guess I'd like to, yeah I don't see an issue with it. I'd like to encourage the
homeowner, if it does be approved to consider, and I was looking at the plot line it has like a 8
foot grade drop from front to back if I read the plot right. Encourage the homeowner, you know
consider things like rain gardens and things like that just to help infiltration and help the water
quality because that's really what this is about and there are things, you know you know the lot
better than I do but as I looked at it I said well maybe you could do something like that. Just as a
comment or suggestion to you.
Aller: Action, comments? I'll invite a motion.
Undestad: I'll make a motion.
Aller: Commissioner Undestad.
Undestad: Alright, the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a 3 percent lot
coverage variance subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings of Fact
and Decision.
Aller: I have a motion. Do I have a second?
McGonagill: I'll second it.
Allen. Having a motion and a second, any further discussion?
Undestad moved, McGonagill seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and
Adjustments approves a 3 percent lot coverage variance subject to the following conditions
and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision:
1. The applicant must apply for and receive a zoning permit.
2. Lot coverage may not exceed 3,157 square feet.

PUBLIC HEARING:
340 SINNEN CIRCLE: LOT COVER VARIANCE.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 5, 2018
Walters: Alright this is Planning Case 2018-9. It's the applicant Richard Hamblin for a 5 foot
front yard setback variance for the construction of a garage expansion. So the property is 340
Sinnen Circle. This is zoned planned unit development residential. Has a 7,500 square foot lot
area. This, the Hidden Valley PUD has a 25 foot front yard setback except for properties located
on cul-de-sac which are held to a 30 foot front yard setback. There's a 30 foot rear yard setback
and 10 foot side yard setbacks. This planned unit development allows up to 30 percent lot
coverage and restricts that to 25 percent within the shoreland overlay district. The current
conditions on the property are an 8,500 square foot lot. It has a 61.4 foot width at setback. It
currently has 27.1 percent lot coverage and meets the 30 foot front yard setback as well as the 30
foot rear and 10 foot side setbacks. The applicant is proposing extending the front of the garage
5 feet forward to create an additional 112 square feet of storage space. The additional storage
space would allow for the indoor storage of 3 cars. I believe the plan is to knock out a wall to
the shop to let him double park here and the main justification is that you know the 3 car storage
will allow them to not store cars in the driveway. Improve curb appeal. They've noted as I
mentioned that the Hidden Valley PUD allows 25 foot setbacks for properties not located on cul-
de-sacs and that the proposed expansion will still meet the 10 foot side yard setbacks and it
would not exceed the 30 percent lot coverage. The way the properties are configured the
expansion 5 feet forward would not in any way impact the view of the neighboring properties.
Staff looked over it and I did an assessment of the 69 houses in that section. 69 of the houses in
that PUD. Approximately half of the properties within the subdivisions have front yard setbacks
between 30 and 25 feet. It is pretty consistent that those on the bulb of the cul-de-sac are held to
the 30 foot setback. I reviewed the notes from the original planned unit development and it
appears to me that the primary concern was having the 30 foot setback in order to maintain the
10 foot side yard setback. The development had been initially proposed with alternating 10 and
5 foot side yard setbacks and that had been amended to require the 10 feet. So staff believes that
since the applicant's proposal will maintain the 10 foot side yard setbacks, won't alter the view
scape and since about half the properties in the neighborhood are held to the 25 foot setback
standard it's in line with the intent of the PUD ordinance and would not negatively impact
surrounding properties or the aesthetics of the neighborhood. I'd be happy to take any questions
at this time.
Aller: Any questions of staff at this time after the presentation? Commissioner Madsen.
Madsen: MacKenzie there's a table in the back and it indicates that the garage addition is 15
square feet. Is that because the, that part of the driveway, does it ... with the driveway?
Walters: Yes. So I believe you're referring to the hard cover change that would be involved in
it, yep. So because it's mostly being built over the existing driveway and the sidewalk, the only
new lot cover is going to be this little sliver down in here that's clear of the driveway. And again
even with that bump up he's going to be under the 30 percent he's allowed under the ordinance.
Madsen: Okay so that's why you only use 15 for the garage addition rather than the 112 square
feet.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 5, 2018
Walters: Yep.
Madsen: Okay, thank you.
Aller: Any additional questions? Hearing none we'll invite the applicant up. If you could state
your name and address for the record please.
Richard Hamblin: Yes, Richard Hamblin, 340 Sinnen Circle here in Chanhassen.
Aller: Welcome Mr. Hamblin.
Richard Hamblin: Hi. He had mentioned the intent was to knock out a wall to my workshop
area there. There is no wall between the garage and that currently so I measured it and I
currently have to, I've got 3 cars so I currently have to leave one in the driveway. If I could add
5 more feet there would be room on the left side to put nose to tail so I'd have two on one side
and one of the other so I could get all 3 in there so that would help as far as the way it looks. As
far as the clutter of the neighborhood and so forth so I think it would be a good deal. And plus I
wouldn't have to scrape windows like we mentioned earlier so that'd be nice too. As far as I
know I'm not encroaching in anybody's space. I'm not encroaching in anybody's views or
detracting from anybody's property values or the aesthetics of their homes and I've checked with
my neighbors and nobody has an issue. They all said yeah, fine. Go for it. Looks fine. And
from the street if you were looking right at it, after the addition goes on you wouldn't tell the
difference. And one more thing I wanted to point out is, all the documentation says the front
yard setback is 30 feet. The driveway from the curb to the front door is 50 feet. Now I guess
there's some other thing with lots that I don't understand but the driveway is 50 feet long so if I
add 5 feet I'm still 45 feet from the street. So I just wanted to make everybody aware of that.
Aller: Great thank you. Do you want to for the record just to go ahead and address that issue?
Walters: Just to clarify. That cul-de-sac was platted and there's 20 feet of public right-of-way
between the curb and then the start of the applicant's property line so that's where that
discrepancy comes from.
Aller: Any questions of the applicant at this point? Seeing none thank you.
Richard Hamblin: Okay.
Allen. I'll open up the public hearing portion of this item. Any individual wishing to speak
either for or against this request can do so at this time. Seeing no one come forward I will close
the public hearing. Open it up for discussion or action by the commissioners. Commissioner
Weick.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 5, 2018
Weick: Yeah I was just going to say for me it really just comes down to it's right into the
variance on the setback and on page 4 of 6 in the first paragraph the analysis, I think it's a pretty
nice job by MacKenzie to say the original intent of the increased setbacks for properties on cul-
de-sacs was to insure sufficient lot width at building setback and since this is already, this is
going to meet post construction, it's going to still meet that lot width requirement to me makes
this a valid, a valid request and a valid variance. I'd be approving it.
Aller: Great. And I am looking at it that the coverage is not an issue in this matter so that works
as well and I think it sounds like it should have been marketed as a two car garage with a bonus
room but we might have a 3 car garage now.
Tietz: Chairman Aller?
Allen. Commissioner Tietz.
Tietz: Just a question and kind of point of clarification for MacKenzie. The diagram that you
show shows the driveway going right straight up to the entrance to the garage yet on site and in
the image that you have on page 4 it appears that the driveway is wider to accommodate the
width of 3 cars in parking. Was that taken into consideration in your evaluation?
Walters: Yeah I agree that it seems to be a little wider than it is in the diagram. I requested that
the applicant field measure the driveway width and submit those numbers. While I did not go
out and personally you know verify. I believe from looking at the aerials and rough calculating it
that the numbers he submitted for the lot coverage are correct. And that's something that he'll
have to demonstrate and he does still have some flexibility even if it's a little above because we
aren't granting a variance for lot coverage.
Tietz: Thank you.
Aller: Additional questions or comments. I'll invite a motion at this time.
Madsen: I'll make a motion.
Aller: Commissioner Madsen.
Madsen: The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a 5 foot front yard
setback variance subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings of Facts
and Decisions.
Aller: I have a valid motion. Do I have a second?
Undestad: Second.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 5, 2018
Aller: Having a motion and a second. Any further discussion or comment?
Madsen moved, Undestad seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and
Adjustments approves a 5 foot front yard setback variance subject to the following
conditions and adopts the attached Findings of Facts and Decisions:
The applicant must apply for and receive a building permit.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0.
Aller: Motion carries. And we'll move onto item number 3 regarding the Audubon and Lyman
CUP transmission line.
PUBLIC HEARING:
TRANSMISSION LINE: AUDUBON AND LYMAN CUP.
Aanenson: That's mine. Thank you Chairman, members of the Planning Commission. This is
an application by Xcel Energy. We do require a conditional use permit for certain wattage of
electricity in excess so this is a conditional use. Want to go to the next page. So this will also go
to the Planning Commission regardless of how you vote on this tonight. So the location is south
of the intersection of Audubon Road and Lyman Boulevard. You can see the larger area on the
left and the portion in Chanhassen is a little over 700 feet. That is that area in red that is covered
by the line itself. Can you go to the next slide. So the proposed transmission line consists of
constructing approximately yeah, 1.5 mile long, double circuit, 115 voltage, kilovolts, am I
saying that right? There you go. Transmission line and suspended over 18 overhead structures.
Two of those would be within Chanhassen so because of the voltage that is on there does require
a conditional use. Because this is a larger project this does require, as the applicant has done, the
environmental assessment document so there was hearings held on that and some Chanhassen
residents did attend that so they've been informed of the process. Again we're, we partnered
with Chaska on this and let them be the LGU. The government authority because of a majority
of that is within Chanhassen. So they are following that. The process for the closing of the, I
think there's 10 more days, working days after the project to take additional comments. Am I
right on that?
Audience: Correct.
Aanenson: Yeah about 10 more days so people still have the right to comment on that but this is
a conditional use will then catch up to that by the time we get through. So with that we did the
conditional use permit findings. Again because of the transmission lines there it's the upgrade,
the staff felt it met the findings that are required for the conditional use permit. So we are
recommending approval. Again the poles will be not colored. Consistent with what's out there.
Sometimes our poles, if you look on Highway 5 they're the blue. These will be the kind of the
more rustic look that's out there but with that Sharmeen Al-Jaff who worked on this project was

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: d
The applicant is requesting a 5-foot front yard setback variance to facilitate the construction of a
garage expansion. The property is located on a cul-de-sac within a planned unit development that
allows for 25-foot front yard setbacks for properties not located on cul-de-sacs and requires 30-
foot front yard setbacks for properties located on cul-de-sacs. The applicant is proposing
expanding their garage five feet forward towards the front lot line.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing adding
five feet to the front of his garage.
The proposed addition would add
around 112 square feet of garage
space and allow for the indoor
storage of three cars and other items.
The proposed addition would
decrease the property's front yard
setback to 25 feet. The Hidden Valley
PUDR stipulates a 25-foot front yard
setback for non -cul-de-sac properties,
but requires properties located on cul-
de-sacs to maintain a 30-foot front
yard setback.
The proposed garage expansion
would meet the required 10-foot side
yard setback and fall under the
property's 30 percent lot coverage
limit. The applicant feels that the
proposed garage expansion would not
block any of the neighbors' views or
reduce the visibility of their homes.

The applicant has noted that numerous homes within the Hidden Valley subdivision have 25-foot
front yard setbacks and does not believe that allowing his home a 25-foot setback would
negatively impact the neighborhood's aesthetics. The applicant has stated that it is inconsistent to
hold different homes within the same neighborhood/subdivision to different standards, and feels
that since a garage expansion will allow for indoor storage of vehicles and other items, it will
improve the property's curb appeal.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Chapter 20, Article Il, Division 3, Variances
Hidden Valley Zoning Standards
BACKGROUND
On February 2, 1989, the city approved a permit for the construction of a detached single family
home.
Planning Commission
340 Sinnen Circle — Planning Case 2018-09
June 5, 2018
Page 3 of 6
On October 23, 1995, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny a request 5-foot side
yard setback variance for the construction of a third garage stall.
On September 19, 2001, the city approved a permit for the addition of a garage workshop.
On June 11, 2009, the city approved a permit for a 96 square foot storage shed.
The property is located within the Hidden Valley PURR. Properties within this PUDR have a
minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet, have front setbacks of 25 feet if not located on a cul-de-
sac and 30 feet if located on a cul-de-sac, have 30-foot rear setbacks, have 10-foot side yard
setbacks, and a 75-foot wetland setback, where applicable. The PUDR allows for 30 percent lot
coverage; however, properties within the shoreland management district are limited to 25 percent
lot coverage. Residential structures are limited to 30 feet in height and lots are required to be 70
feet wide a building setback.
The lot is 8,500 square feet, and currently has 2,304 square feet of lot cover resulting in 27.1
percent lot coverage. The lot is non -conforming with a width of 61.4 feet at the 30 foot building
setback. The existing home and accessory uses meet the standards established by the PUDR and
applicable City Code.
Hidden Valley
The plat for this subdivision was
recorded in October of 1985. The
PUDR was established as part of
Planning Case 1985-1 and was amend
to its current form as part of Planning
Case 2012-04-5. The Hidden Valley
subdivision consist of 110 residential
units, a church, and a commercial
district zoned Neighborhood Business

ANALYSIS
Front Yard Setback
The Hidden Valley subdivision requires properties located on cul-de-sacs to meet a 30-foot front
yard setback, but allows other properties a 25-foot front yard setback. Staff reviewed the minutes
and records associated with Planning Case 1985-1 and believes that the original intent of the
increased setbacks for properties on cul-de-sacs was to ensure sufficient lot width at building
setback to accommodate a home meeting the subdivision's 10-foot side yard setbacks. Houses
located on other streets were allowed a 25-foot front yard setback since their maximum lot width is
typically at street frontage and the subdivision's small lot size meant a 30-foot front and 30-foot rear
setback could lead to constrained building envelops.
Several Planned Unit Developments (PUD) in the city have multiple different front yard setbacks.
In some PUDs, specific lots or blocks are granted a reduced or increased front yard setback,
generally with the intent of offsetting a smaller lot size or allowing the preservation of a natural
feature, and other PUDs require varying setbacks based on road classification, generally with the
intent of providing increased screening and buffering. Hidden Valley's PUD appears to be unique in
listing a separate setback for cul-de-sacs, although other subdivisions as well the as general lot
requirements listed for the city's residential districts do list a minimum lot width at building setback.
These provisions are all designed to ensure cul-de-sac lots provide a viable building pad. Hidden
Valley does also list a minimum lot width at building setback of 70 feet, which 340 Sinnen Circle
does not meet as it has a lot width of 61.4 feet at building setback; however, the house does
maintain the required 10-foot side yard setbacks.
Staff surveyed 69 properties within Hidden Valley
subdivision and found that all of them appear to meet their
required setbacks. There is some potential inconsistency in
the fact that houses along the neck portion of a cul-de-sac
were held to the 30-foot standard whereas homes along the
cul-de-sac bubble are subject to the 25-foot standard. The
fact that homes located along cul-de-sac necks were not held
to the 30-foot standard reinforces staffs assessment that the
primary goal of the 30-foot standard was to ensure adequate
lot width at building setback. Staff has included a chart
showing the breakdown of home setbacks by street for
approximately half of the Hidden Valley subdivision.

The applicant's home is located on a cul-de-sac and is
subject to the PUD's 30-foot front yard setback;
however, the home is configured in such a manner
that even if the garage is extended as proposed it will
still meet the required 10-foot side yard setback. Staff
believes that since the intent of the increased front
Planning Commission
340 Sinnen Circle — Planning Case 2018-09

Page 5 of 6
yard setback for cul-de-sac lots is making sure that there is adequate spacing between houses,
granting the applicant a 5-foot front yard setback variance would not be inconsistent with the intent
of ordinance.
Impact on Neighborhood
Roughly half of the properties in
the Hidden Valley subdivision
adhere to 25-foot front yard
setback and the other half adhere to
a 30-foot front yard setback.
Within Sinnen Circle, one of the
neck properties currently meets the
25-foot rather than the 30-foot
standard. Allowing 340 Sinnen
Circle to meet the 25-foot setback
would not significantly alter the
aesthetics of the neighborhood due
to the fact that the 10-foot side
yard setback would be maintained.
Within 500 feet of the applicant's property three variances have been applied for, all three of which
were denied. One of these was a side yard setback variance request from the applicant m 1995 for
the creation of a three car garage. The Planning Commission voted to deny this variance request
because they did not want to establish a precedent of waiving the side yard requirement and their
finding that the applicant did not demonstrate a hardship. It was also noted that the development had
been initially proposed with alternating 10 and 5-foot setbacks, but was amended to require 10-foot
setbacks on both sides. Since the applicant's current proposal would maintain the subdivision's
minimum building separation and would allow a front yard setback already present within the
subdivision, staff believes this proposal does not risk establishing a precedent that could alter the
neighborhood's character.
SUMMARY
The applicant's proposed front yard setback meets that standards established for non -cul-de-sac
properties within the district, and his proposed garage expansion would not encroach on the
district's side yard setback. Staff believes that the intent of requiring cul-de-sac properties to
maintain a larger front yard setback was to ensure sufficient lot width for the construction of
home with 10-foot front yard setbacks. For these reasons staff is recommending approval of the
proposed variance with conditions.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
(APPROVAL)
IN RE:
The application of Richard Hamblin for a 5-foot front yard setback variance on a property zoned
PUDR - Planning Case 2018-09.
On June 5, 2018, 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 Planned Unit Development -Residential (PUDR).
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density.
3. The legal description of the property is:
Lot 16, Block 4, Hidden Valley
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 intent of the city's front yard setback ordinance is to ensure adequate green
space and a uniform aesthetic for residential neighborhoods. In the case of the Hidden
Valley PUD, the front yard setback for cul-de-sacs also ensures adequate lot width. Since
half of Hidden Valley's lots meet the 25-foot setback that the applicant is requestingrand
the applicant has sufficient lot width to conduct the project while maintaining the
required side yard setbacks, allowing this property a 25-foot setback would be in
harmony with the intent of this Chapter.
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 applicant's request to expand their existing two -car garage is a reasonable
proposed use for the property and will assist them in meeting the requirements of the
city's outdoor storage ordinance by providing additional indoor storage space. The
configuration of their property does not allow for a garage expansion within the bounds
established by the City's Zoning Code.
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.
d. ' The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The lot does not meet the 70-foot width at building setback required by the
Hidden Valley PUD. The lot's substandard dimensions prevent the property owner from
expanding the garage without a variance.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: The intent of the 30-foot front yard setback for cul-de-sacs is ensuring
sufficient lot width to accommodate a house with 10-foot side yard setbacks. The
proposed project would maintain the required side yard setbacks, and would not alter the
overall aesthetics of a subdivision where approximately half of the homes have 25-foot
front yard setbacks.
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 #2018-09, dated June 5, 2018, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is
incorporated herein.
DECISION
"The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a 5-foot front yard
setback variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant must apply for and receive a building permit."

On June 5, 2018, 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 Planned Unit Development -Residential (PUDR).
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density.
3. The legal description of the property is:
Lot 16, Block 4, Hidden Valley
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: Hidden Valley requires homes along cul-de-sacs to maintain a 30-foot front
yard setback in order ensure an adequately sized front yard and consistent neighborhood
aesthetic. Allowing a home along a cul-de-sac to reduce its front yard setback would
reduce the property's lot width at building setback and the overall size of its front yard.
Reducing a property's front yard dimensions is not in line with the intent of Hidden
Valley's PUD ordinance.
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 currently has a two -car garage, workshop, and shed area for storage.
The parcel is currently providing a reasonable level of storage for a property zoned single
family residential and additional storage space could be added in other locations without
a variance.
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.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The property's lot width at building setback does not meet its district's
minimum standard; however, the house was constructed to fit within the lot's constraints.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: No other home on a cul-de-sac bubble has a 25-foot front yard setback and no
variances have been issued within 500 feet of this property. Allowing this home to reduce
its front yard setback would establish a precedent for homes on cul-de-sacs within
Hidden Valley and could significantly alter the character of the neighborhood's cul-de-
sacs.
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 #2018-09, dated June 5, 2018, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is
incorporated herein.
DECISION
"The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the 5-foot front yard setback
variance."
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 5th day of June, 2018.

Proposed Garage Addition
I would like to add 5 feet to the front of my garage. This would enable me to park 3 cars, a
motorcycle, lawn equipment, grandchildren's toys and bikes, and wood working tools, in the
garage without utilizing the driveway or street for overnight parking. This is especially important
since the neighborhood children utilize the cul-de-sac for a playground and athletic field.
Additional street or driveway parking would reduce the safety and neighborhood curb appeal for
the families who live on Sinnen Circle. Currently my garage is set back 30 feet from the street.
Many of the houses in our neighborhood are set back 21-25 feet from the street. It seems
inconsistent that there are different set back requirements within the same PUD or neighborhood.
Adding the additional 5 feet to the front of my garage would not block any of my neighbor's
views or reduce the visibility or curb appeal of their homes. The side and rear yard set- backs
would not be infringed upon with this proposal. Non -permeable ground coverage would not be
significantly altered by adding the additional 5 feet to the front of my garage.
Your consideration is appreciated.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
(APPROVAL)
IN RE:
The application of Richard Hamblin for a 5-foot front yard setback variance on a property zoned
PUDR - Planning Case 2018-09.
On June 5, 2018, 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 Planned Unit Development -Residential (PURR).
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density.
3. The legal description of the property is:
Lot 16, Block 4, Hidden Valley
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 intent of the city's front yard setback ordinance is to ensure adequate green
space and a uniform aesthetic for residential neighborhoods. In the case of the Hidden
Valley PUD, the front yard setback for cul-de-sacs also ensures adequate lot width. Since
half of Hidden Valley's lots meet the 25-foot setback that the applicant is requesting and
the applicant has sufficient lot width to conduct the project while maintaining the
required side yard setbacks, allowing this property a 25-foot setback would be in
harmony with the intent of this Chapter.
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 applicant's request to expand their existing two -car garage is a reasonable
proposed use for the property and will assist them in meeting the requirements of the
city's outdoor storage ordinance by providing additional indoor storage space. The
configuration of their property does not allow for a garage expansion within the bounds
established by the City's Zoning Code.
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.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The lot does not meet the 70-foot width at building setback required by the
Hidden Valley PUD. The lot's substandard dimensions prevent the property owner from
expanding the garage without a variance.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: The intent of the 30-foot front yard setback for cul-de-sacs is ensuring
sufficient lot width to accommodate a house with 10-foot side yard setbacks. The
proposed project would maintain the required side yard setbacks, and would not alter the
overall aesthetics of a subdivision where approximately half of the homes have 25-foot
front yard setbacks.
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 #2018-09, dated June 5, 2018, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is
incorporated herein.
"The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a 5-foot front yard
setback variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant must apply for and receive a building permit."
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this Sth day of June, 2018.

Proposed Garage Addition
I would like to add 5 feet to the front of my garage. This would enable me to park 3 cars, a
motorcycle, lawn equipment, grandchildren's toys and bikes, and wood working tools, in the
garage without utilizing the driveway or street for overnight parking. This is especially important
since the neighborhood children utilize the cul-de-sac for a playground and athletic field.
Additional street or driveway parking would reduce the safety and neighborhood curb appeal for
the families who live on Sinnen Circle. Currently my garage is setback 30 feet from the street.
Many of the houses in our neighborhood are set back 21-25 feet from the street. It seems
inconsistent that there are different set back requirements within the same PUD or neighborhood.
Adding the additional 5 feet to the front of my garage would not block any of my neighbor's
views or reduce the visibility or curb appeal of their homes. The side and rear yard set- backs
would not be infringed upon with this proposal. Non -permeable ground coverage would not be
significantly altered by adding the additional 5 feet to the front of my garage.
Your consideration is appreciated.

Proposed Garage Addition
I would like to add 5 feet to the front of my garage. This would enable me to park 3 cars, a
motorcycle, lawn equipment, grandchildren's toys and bikes, and wood working tools, in the
garage without utilizing the driveway or street for overnight parking. This is especially important
since the neighborhood children utilize the cul-de-sac for a playground and athletic field.
Additional street or driveway parking would reduce the safety and neighborhood curb appeal for
the families who live on Sinnen Circle. Currently my garage is set back 30 feet from the street.
Many of the houses in our neighborhood are set back 21-25 feet from the street. It seems
inconsistent that there are different set back requirements within the same PUD or neighborhood.
Adding the additional 5 feet to the front of my garage would not block any of my neighbor's
views or reduce the visibility or curb appeal of their homes. The side and rear yard set- backs
would not be infringed upon with this proposal. Non -permeable ground coverage would not be
significantly altered by adding the additional 5 feet to the front of my garage.
Your consideration is appreciated.
