FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
IN RE:
Application of Josh Koller for a Shoreland Management Setback variance to reconstruct a patio
on property zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF) — Planning Case # 2012-09.
On July 17, 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
use.
3. The legal description of the property is as follows:
Lot 5, Rearrangement of lots in Pleasant View
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 granting of the variance is in keeping with the purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance. The construction of a patio is a normal use associated with a single-
family home.
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 practical difficulty with the reconstruction of the patio is that the existing
patio does not comply with the Shoreland Management Setback. The proposed patio will
continue the non -conformity. However, the property exceeds city code requirements for
hard surface coverage by 3.2 percent. The applicant is proposing to reduce the hard
surface coverage to 25.9 percent. Staff is recommending the hard surface be further
reduced to 25 percent. This reduction will result in an improved condition compared to
what is existing on the property.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based upon economic considerations, but is
to permit the owner to enjoy the property in a reasonable manner.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The owner purchased a property which had an existing patio encroaching into
the Shoreland Management Setback. The existing patio is eroding away. The proposed
patio will encroach 25 feet into the setback. The owner is proposing to remove the
existing patio and walkways and replace it with a smaller patio to reduce the overall
hardcover. The reduction will result in an improved condition compared to what is
existing on the site.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: The construction of a patio is a normal use associated with a single-family
home and would be in keeping with the character of the 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 #2012-09, dated July 17, 2012, prepared by Ashley Mellgren, et al., is
incorporated herein.
"The Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves Planning Case #2012-09 for a 25-foot
variance to the Shoreland Management Setback for the reconstruction of a patio on property
zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF)."

PUBLIC HEARING:
6645 HORSESHOE CURVE: REOUEST FOR A MORELAND SETBACK VARIANCE ON
PROPERTY ZONED SINGLE FAMH.Y RESIDENTIAL (RSF)APPLICANT• JOSH KOLLER.
SOUTHVIEW DESIGN. OWNER: TIMOTHY FIELDHOUSE PLANNING CASE 2012-09
Mellgren: Good evening. The City has received a variance request from applicant Josh Koller with
Southview Design. The property owners are Tim and Carol Fieldhouse. The property is located on Lotus
Lake. The address 6645 Horseshoe Curve. The applicant is requesting a 25 foot setback to encroach into
the 75 foot shoreland management setback to allow for the reconstruction of a patio on the lakeshore side
of a property zoned RSF. There are several existing conditions that the applicant and the homeowner are
concerned with. The existing patio, staircase and walkways have begun to erode away and have created
uneven walking surfaces. The missing stones have created areas that have one half inch to one inch
differentiation in the surface level. The applicant has proposed a deck as a safer alternative to the existing
step from the house to the patio. Staff would like to note that the deck was not part of the variance
application. However is considered a replacement to the non -conformity rather than an addition.
According to current building standards the step rise should be 7 and 314 inches and this step exceeds that
requirement. The homeowners have expressed a lot of concern regarding erosion taking place the
westerly protrusion of the patio. This erosion is likely resulting from directed discharge from the hard
cover. Currently the site is exceeding the 25% maximum allowable hard surface coverage by 3.27%. The
applicant is proposing to reconstruct a patio encroaching into the 75 foot shoreland management setback
by 25 feet. This is an additional 13 foot encroachment into the setback than the existing patio as shown as
the image in the middle. The red line is the 75 foot setback from the OHW. The applicant is proposing to
remove the existing staircase, walkway and patio shown in the blue on the existing plan to reconstruct the
patio shown on the right image. This will reduce the hard cover from 28.27 to 25.9 percent which is 867
square feet. Staff believes the proposed design has a possibility through the reduction in impervious
surface to improve the water quality of the stormwater runoff from the site. Staff further recognizes that
the project constitutes an expansion of a non -conforming use. However the net benefits of the water
quality and potential screening of the patio as viewed from the public water may outweigh any deleterious
effects of this expansion. The granting of the variance is in keeping with the purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance. The construction of a patio is a normal use associated with a single family residence.
The practical difficulty with the reconstruction of this patio is that the existing patio currently does not
comply with the shoreland management setback. The proposed patio will continue the non -conformity.
However the property exceeds the City Code requirements for hard surface coverage by 3.2%. The
applicant is proposing to reduce the hard cover, or hard surface coverage to 25.9% and staff is
recommending the hard surface be further reduced to 25%. This reduction will likely result in improved
conditions compared to what is on the site. Staff is recommending the approval of the 25 foot shoreland
management setback variance for the reconstruction of the patio, Planning Case #2012-9 and adoption of
the Findings of Fact and Decisions subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. This concludes the
staff report.
Aller: I know we sent out postcards. Were there any responses?
Mellgren: I did not receive any.
Aller: So no negative responses from neighbors or?
Mellgren: No.
Aller: Okay. And has the applicant been made aware of the findings and the request for the reduction to
the 25?

Chanhassen Planning Commission — July 17, 2012
Mellgren: They did receive a copy of the staff report
Aller. Any other questions from anyone? Comments? Okay. Would the applicant like to step forward
and be heard?
Josh Koller, Hi, Josh Koller. I'm with Southview Design. Our address is in Inver Grove Heights. 1875
East 500' Street so, a couple things on this_ The property owners have only been here for 2 years on this
property. This house was built in I think 1918 or something like that. Obviously there weren't any of the
issues with hard cover surfaces or anything like that. Permits weren't pulled for patios, these types of
things. We appreciate the approval of the City or the you know asking for approval from the City here on
this. Going all the way down to the 25% is going to be a very difficult thing. We're already shrinking
over 800 square feet of hard cover on this property. Right now with the existing condition we've got
overhead trees. We've got the hill that slopes down. We do have erosion problems, stuff like that. We
are planning on planting that. There's a retaining wall being proposed in the design to help with the
erosion as well. You know that's where we're looking at you know again we've dropped over 800 square
feet here so we're trying to get it as close as we can. If we keep shrinking that up, I mean we're just not
going to have anything back there. The other point that the City had mentioned was, you know that
Ashley had mentioned was the deck not being part of this. The deck was submitted by another company
that was doing the deck work to get approval for a permit on the deck so I guess I was under the
assumption that it's basically a large landing was separate and was getting approved for a permit there so
those are the kind of the things that we have issues with you know going forward with this project. We're
just trying to eliminate a lot of hard cover issues and it's pretty bad right now. If you walk out on site it's,
not only is it you know not a very comfortable, usable space but it's fairly dangerous. They've had
people trip on the patio. There's big gaps on there and the stairs arejust falling apart altogether. A lot of
that has to do with a lot of erosion issues and how it's running down the hillside there so that's kind of
what we're looking at doing.
Aller: With the other conditions on, for instance on the.
Josh Koller. Yep, the 9. There was 10 conditions total.
Aller: You obviously have read them all.
Josh Koller: Yep.
Alley: You understand what they're asking for. You've met with them.
Josh Koller. Yep.
Allen Is there a problem meeting any?
Josh Koller. Nope. All of those are fine. That's pretty basic. Usually when we submit for a permit
we're going to put a plan together for erosion control. Whether they want silt logs or whether we want
You know, it really doesn't matter to us. We can submit that. The elevation piece for the plan that's,
those are very easy pieces for us to submit so everything on there was fine.
Aller: Okay.
Josh Koller: It's just trying to get to that, you know we're already going down like I said so much square
footage there and we are trying to get into that 25%. We're just a little above it.

Chanhassen Planning Commission —July 17, 2012
Aller: And the overstory trees will stay?
Josh Koller: Yep. We're not taking any of the trees out. There is one diseased pine that we might want
to talk about. We can get an arborist out there but that actually has nothing to do with what we're doing
here. It's not even in the area so, yeah Yep.
Aller. And so could you explain the difficulty and the difference between what planning is requesting,
what the Code basically requires which is the 25.
Josh Koller: The 25, yeah.
Aller: And the 25.9. What are we talking about in reality?
Josh Koller. I didn't do the calculation so I guess I don't know. I'm assuming it's probably going to be,
you know it's a pretty good sized lot so it might be even a couple hundred square feet I suppose. I guess I
didn't do the calculation on that. We have a couple things with this lot. I mean it is a pie shaped lot.
They moved the house you know when they built the house in 1918 or whatever clear back by the lake.
Well one thing we have is we do have a very long driveway going to there and different things like that
but then like I said this back patio was just really expansive and you know the biggest thing is we were
trying to shrink it down to get to that area. If we shrink it much more than that I mean they're just not
going to have much of an even a place to sit and they like to, just like everybody, like to at least have a
table and chairs out there. The new patio, I think the square footage is I think 400 and some square feet. I
don't recall so it's not very big you know so we're just again, just trying to create a little bit of usable
space. I'm never going to get good grass to grow underneath there anyway so erosion's always going to
be something. That's one of the big things with the retaining wall is to stop that and then you know we're
also, we are going to have to set some boulder outcrops in there to help with that but you know what it's
like when you have a hillside, if I just mulch it and plant it, I mean it's just going to rush down anyway
and so otherwise they're just going to have a mulch patio which obviously isn't going to work very well
either so.
Aller: And the square footage now of the patio?
Josh Koller. It says on here. I believe, I'm song I would have to find that. Well the square footage of
the patio now is, I mean I guess I'm reducing it to the 8, by 867 square feet so I mean it's fairly, fairly
expansive. I'd have to get back to you on that. I don't know what the exact square footage is on that,
unless I have it on the.
Aanenson: Chairman I think that staff would know the answer to that if you'd like us to answer that.
Alley: Sure. I want a real good understanding of what we're talking about in reduction from what's there
now to what is proposed.
Josh Koller: Flagstone, if I can answer that.
Mellgren: Yeah.
Josh Koller: It's right here. The flagstone patio right now, that's there right now is 1,293 square feet.
Colopoulos: And you're going down to 400?
Josh Koller. And we are going down to.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — July 17, 2012
Mellgren: 426.
Aanenson: Can you say it louder Ashley.
Josh Koller: Yeah, 426. So I mean.
Colopoulos: An extra 9 percent, .9 percent would be approximately 360 square feet so.
Josh Koller: Yeah so I mean they wouldn't have anything.
Colopoulos: You wouldn't be left with much.
Allen. You wouldn't be left with anything.
Josh Koller. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for the calculations. I'm a landscaper, not a math guy.
Allen. And my understanding is that all the, they're new to the lot, that the actual prior patio and all the
work was done pre permits? Before they were...
Josh Koller: Yes. Oh yeah, I mean they were done.
Aller. So the City wasn't aware of anything and they certainly weren't in a position to control or do
anything when they came in.
Josh Koller: No.
Aller: Other than what they're doing now which is asking for the variance.
Josh Koller: Yep, that's correct. They've been there 18 months so not even 2 years so
Allen. Any other questions? Concerns? Comments? Thank you. Would anyone else like to come up
and speak on behalf of the applicant? No? Seeing no one come forward we'll close the public hearing.
Questions or comments for. How do we feel about the difference between the 25 and the 25.9 because
that's really what it boils down to at this point. And I'll start off by saying a substantial reduction this is
from the 1,349 and that I would, I think we appreciate, I certainly do, people coming in and asking for a
variance rather than just doing and asking for forgiveness later and creating a big problem where the City
has to come in and make alternations and do something else so we're looking at something that is better
than what was there and it's not perfect. It's not optimum but I think that's what variances are all about.
Okay.
Colopoulos: Want a motion? Ready for a motion or are we still in public hearing?
Aller: No, the public hearing's closed.
Thomas: Oh you did that?
Colopoulos: You closed it? Oh you didn't have the microphone on.
Aller: Let's make sure for the record that the public hearing is opened. And no one coming forward it's
closed. So any other comments, questions? Thoughts.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — July 17, 2012
Hokkanen: Well I have a question, just so I'm reading this right. So if we approve this as it is the
condition of going down to 25 percent.
Alley: Would be.
Hokkanen: A requirement or could we strike that?
Allen. If we approve it as is it's 25%. Is you want to modify it.
Hokkanen: We can modify each one, okay.
Alley: Then you would need to say that it would be 25.9 which is what the request is.
Hokkanen: Alright, that's what I wanted to clarify. That answers my question.
Colopoulos: I move that the Chanhassen Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals approves the reconstruction of a patio in the Shoreland Management Setback, Planning Case
#2012-09 and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision subject to conditions 1 through 8 and
condition 10.
Alley: So we're...
Colopoulos: And leaving condition 9.
Allen: In it's entirety or modified?
Colopoulos: In it's entirety.
Thomas: I would say modified to the 25.9.
Colopoulos: To 25.9. To 25.9, okay. Modifying.
Alley: Make it clear.
Colopoulos: Yes, let me restate that last part okay. Subject to conditions I through 8 and condition 10 as
written, modifying condition 9 to read, existing hard cover must be reduced no more than 25.9 percent of
the lot area.
Hokkanen: Second it.
Alley: I have a motion and a second. Any further discussion?
Colopoulos moved, Hokkanen seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the
Board of Adjustments and Appeals, approves the request for the reconstruction of the patio located
within the Shoreland Management Setback located on Lot 5, Rearrangement of lots in Pleasant
View, based on the staff report and adoption of the Findings of Fact and Decision, with the
following conditions:
1. The proposed deck can be no larger than indicated on the plan set provided with the revision
dated June 14, 2012.
Chanhassen Planning Commission —July 17, 2012
2. The proposed deck cannot be covered or enclosed at a future date.
3. Any proposed drainage, erosion control and grading must be shown on a plan and cannot be more
than is required to meet the requirements of this project. The applicant shall work with staff to
incorporate remedies to the erosion problems on the western portion of the site.
4_ The applicant must demonstrate that the patio cannot be constructed without retaining walls.
Further, any walls determined necessary must be the minimum height needed to achieve the
above parameters.
5. Any retaining walls exceeding 48 inches in height require a building permit and professional
design.
6. The top and toe of any wall determined necessary should be shown on the plan.
7. Proposed finish elevation shall be shown on the southerly extent of the patio.
8. No tree removal may occur as a result of this project.
9. The existing hardcover must be reduced to no more than 25.9% of the lot area.
10. There shall be no expansion of the water -oriented structure located on the site unless the portion
of the proposal located in the Shoreland Management Setback is removed.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 7 to 0.
PUBLIC HEARING:
METES AND BOUNDS SUBDIVISION: REOUEST FOR A METES AND BOUNDS
SUBDIVISION CREATING TWO LOTS ON PROPERTY ZONED AGRICULTURAL (A-2) AND
LOCATED AT 1551 LYMAN BOULEVARD. APPLICANT/OWNER: RICK DORSEY, PPB
HOLDINGS, LP. PLANNING CASE 2012-08.
Aanenson: The applicant is requesting a metes and bounds subdivision to create two lots from a 20 acre
parcel. Parcel C is 4 acres and Parcel D is 16 acres. The 40 acre parcel is being split into two lots via an
administrative subdivision, and I'll go through this in detail in a minute. So the administrative
subdivision by State Statute requires city approval on that. That action has not taken place yet. The
proposed subdivision does meet the metes and bounds would meet the city ordinances with conditions of
approval. So the subject site is located on Lyman Boulevard. Even for an administrative subdivision to
occur properties have to have access to the site so the two access points right now, so when we look at the
subdivision which I'll show you in a second, the administrative subdivision, there's an access point via
this street here which is on the LDK development. The Preserve and then the other one's over the
existing driveway so that allows the first split of the property. There were several applicable regulations
which I'll explain in a little bit more detail as we go through the development itself but again the main
one is that the City can approve a metes and bounds subdivision so this is different than a plat. It's a
metes and bounds but it has to have access onto a public right-of-way is one of the criteria so we haven't
seen too many of these specifically since my tenure here. This is the first time we've done a metes and
bounds with this type of thing inside an urban service area. Typically they're platted. So the other, and
as I explained it is exempt. The metes and bounds from the subdivision. Excuse me, the administrative is
exempt. The metes and bounds does require city approval. Chapter 20 also comes into consideration and
that's the density. If you're outside the urban service area we have a requirement of density allocation.

ACREAGE: 0.86 acres (37,340 square feet) 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.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.

PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a variance to encroach into the 75-foot shoreland setback to allow for
the reconstruction of a patio on the lakeshore side of the property. The current home is set back
75.9 feet from the OHW of Lotus Lake. The current patio is set back 63 feet from the OHW. The
property is zoned Single Family Residential (RSF) and has a maximum allowable hard surface
coverage of 25%. Currently the property is at 28.27% hard surface coverage.
The contractor and property owner are requesting to reconstruct the patio and staircase and add a
retaining wall. The proposed patio would be set back 50 feet from the OHW and would
encroach into the 75-foot Shoreland Management Setback by 25 feet. The requested variance
would reduce the hard surface coverage from 28.7% to 25.9%.

ADJACENT ZONING: The properties to the north, east and west of the subject property are
zoned Single Family Residential (RSF). The lake is located to the south of the site. Access to the
site is via Horseshoe Curve to the north of the property.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
• Chapter 20, Division 3, Variances.
• Chapter 20, Division 4, Non -conforming Uses
• Chapter 20, Article XH, Shoreland Management District
• Chapter 20, Article XII, Single Family Residential (RSF) district
The property is located on Lot 5, Rearrangement of Lots in Pleasant View, Carver County,
Minnesota and is zoned Single Family Residential (RSF). The site is located just south of
Horseshoe Curve and is located on the northern part of Lotus Lake. Lotus Lake is a Recreational
Development Lake with an Ordinary High Water Level of 896.3 feet. The Rearrangement of
Lots in Pleasant View was recorded in 1916 and the original house was built in 1918. The
construction of the original house predates the Shoreland District Regulations but still conforms
to the 75-foot Shoreland Setback. Several additions to the house have taken place since the
original construction.
In 2001 the previous owner added a 32-foot x 20-foot addition. The addition replaced the initial
porch and deck which was built in 1988. The initial deck encroached into the 75-foot setback by
five feet. The addition maintained the 75-foot setback.

Properties located in the Shoreland Management District are allowed one water -orientated
accessory structure that does not meet the normal structure setback. The property has a shed
located 40 feet from the Ordinary High Water level. This structure does comply with water -
orientated accessory structure standards set forth in City Code, Chapter 20, Article VII, Section
20-481, Subdivision 2.
The City does not have record of a permit for the current patio and walkway. However, permits
were not required for the construction of patios prior to 2004.
Staff reviewed city
records to determine
if hard surface
variances and
shoreland setback
variances have been
granted along
Horseshoe Curve,
Lotus Trail and
Pleasant View Road.
These streets have

ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to reduce the impervious surface coverage by 2.37 percent to
reconstruct a patio encroaching into the Shoreland Management Setback by 13 additional feet.
The additional encroachment allows the property owner the opportunity to construct a patio. A
patio is considered to be a reasonable and normal use of a single-family residential property.
The new configuration will significantly reduce the hard surface coverage on the site by 867
square feet, resulting an adjustment from 28.27 percent to 25.9 percent.
There is an additional building permit application filed with the city for the proposed deck that is
indicated on the plan. The deck is proposed to create a safer transition from the house to the
patio and replaces a portion of the existing patio. The current step does not comply with building
code. Decks are not considered impervious surface and are not calculated in the hard surface
calculations.

The proposal will require additional grading to take place on the property. Grading can occur in
the Shoreland Setback but must meet the conditions set forth in Minnesota Rules 6120.3300
Subp 4 — Zoning Provisions for Shorelands. The grading must also comply with the conditions
set forth in Chanhassen City Code §20-481— Placement and height of structures in the Shoreland
Management District and §20-482 — Shoreland Alterations.
Staff believes the reconstruction of the patio will increase the safety of the site. Currently the
patio and walkways are uneven and many areas could cause a person to trip and fall. Staff
further believes that the proposed reduction in hardcover will result in a net decrease in runoff
from the site. This benefit may provide a remedy for the erosion taking place on the site.

SITE CONDITIONS
The site is largely wooded which may
provide screening from the public water.
The trees will also result in greater
abstraction and less stormwater runoff than
would be produced form a typical
residential lawn maintained in blue grass.
The site shows indications of erosion. The observed erosion is downstream of the more westerly
protrusion of the existing patio and is likely the result of directed discharge from the hardcover.
The grade to the lake ranges from 6.9 percent to 12.9 percent with one 13-foot run at a grade of
30.8 percent. There is no bluff located on the property.
The proposed deck as shown on the plan is
proposed as a solution to the step from the inside
of the house to the patio. The patio would
encroach into the setback but would be
considered as a replacement of the non-
conformity rather than an addition. According
to current Building Code, the step rise should be
no more than 7-3/4". The existing step exceeds
this requirement. It should be noted that the
applicant has not included the deck as part of the
variance application.
The applicant and property owner are largely
concerned with the existing condition of the
flagstone patio, walkway and staircase.
Fieldhouse Variance Request
Planning Case 2012-09
July 17, 2012
Page 7 of 8
The staircase has begun to erode away and has
created an uneven walking path. The applicant
and the property owner feel the existing patio
and staircase should be considered as unsafe
and unusable.
Missing stones in the staircase and patio have
created areas of one-half inch and one inch
differentiation in surface level.
The proposed design has the possibility through the reduction of impervious surface to improve
the water quality of the stormwater runoff from the site. Staff recognizes that the project
constitutes an expansion of a non -conforming use. The net benefits to the water quality and
potential screening of the patio as viewed from the public water appear to outweigh any
deleterious effects of the expansion.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request for the reconstruction of
the patio located within the Shoreland Management Setback located on Lot 5, Rearrangement of
Lots in Pleasant View, based on the staff report and adoption of the Findings of Fact and
Decision, with the following conditions:
1. The proposed deck can be no larger than indicated on the plan set provided with the revision
dated June 14, 2012.
2. The proposed deck cannot be covered or enclosed at a future date.
3. Any proposed drainage, erosion control and grading must be shown on a plan and cannot be
more than is required to meet the requirements of this project. The applicant shall work with
staff to incorporate remedies to the erosion problems on the western portion of the site.

4. The applicant must demonstrate that the patio cannot be constructed without retaining walls.
Further, any walls determined necessary must be the minimum height needed to achieve the
above parameters.
5. Any retaining walls exceeding 48 inches in height require a building permit and professional
design.
6. The top and toe of any wall determined necessary should be shown on the plan.
7. Proposed finish elevation shall be shown on the southerly extent of the patio.
8. No tree removal may occur as a result of this project.
9. The existing hardcover must be reduced to no more than 25% of the lot area.
10. There shall be no expansion of the water -orientated structure located on the site unless the
portion of the proposal located in the Shoreland Management Setback is removed.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
IN RE:
Application of Josh Koller for a Shoreland Management Setback variance to reconstruct a patio
on property zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF) — Planning Case # 2012-09.
On July 17, 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
use.
3. The legal description of the property is as follows:
Lot 5, Rearrangement of lots in Pleasant View
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 granting of the variance is in keeping with the purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance. The construction of a patio is a normal use associated with a single-
family home.
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 practical difficulty with the reconstruction of the patio is that the existing
patio does not comply with the Shoreland Management Setback. The proposed patio will
continue the non -conformity. However, the property exceeds city code requirements for
hard surface coverage by 3.2 percent to 25.9 percent. Staff is recommending the hard
surface be further reduced to 25 percent. This reduction will result in an improved
condition compared to what is existing on the property.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based upon economic considerations, but is
to permit the owner to enjoy the property in a reasonable manner.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The owner purchased a property which had an existing patio encroaching into
the Shoreland Management Setback. The existing patio is eroding away. The proposed
patio will encroach 25 feet into the setback. The owner is proposing to remove the
existing patio and walkways and replace it with a smaller patio to reduce the overall
hardcover. The reduction will result in an improved condition compared to what is
existing on the site.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: The construction of a patio is a normal use associated with a single-family
home and would be in keeping with the character of the 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 #2012-09, dated July 17, 2012, prepared by Ashley Mellgren, et al., is
incorporated herein.
DECISION
"The Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves Planning Case #2012-09 for a 25-foot
variance to the Shoreland Management Setback for the reconstruction of a patio on property
zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF)."

For property at: 6645 Horseshoe Curve Chanhassen MN SS317
I am proposing the following for site improvement:
The homeowners contacted me to take a look at their site because of erosion issues, difficulties maintaining
the steep hill off the back of the house, a failing staircase, and a failing flagstone patio. The homeowners
moved into the house as it is currently and have made no changes to the existing landscape. once I looked
at the site I noticed the issues my homeowners mentioned along with existing hardcover concerns, as well
as existing tree concerns. After going through everything I came up with this plan to improve the
conditions of the lot by trying to stop erosion of the hillside, maintaining the care of the existing trees and
general nature of the lot. This is being done by the following.
1. Problem:
• Homeowner is having difficulty maintaining the erosion of the hillside out of the back of the
house due to the drastic elevation change and shade provided by the existing mature trees.
There is existing grass and some edging with plantings but due to the elevation change
along with shade from existing trees and tree roots being exposed nothing is growing and
soil continues to erode down the hill to the lake.
Solution:
• Propose building a 4'tall retaining wall to hold up the upper level of the property as well as
cutting down of the hillside to level out the lower part of the hill to stop erosion for
continuing to occur.
2. Problem:
• Access to lower level of the yard and the lake. There are existing stairs on site now that are
much farther toward the lake that are falling apart and are unsafe and unusable in their
current condition.
Solution:
• Build in with the boulder wall a staircase that does not go so far into the yard that is tied
into the wall with 1' wide Chilton stairs to provide a save and easy way to get to the lake.
3. Problem:
• large uneven broken down patio along with small (not to code) landing from back door to
the existing patio. Very dense shade and dead soil.
Solution:
• Replace existing stoop with small deck to lower to new paver patio to replace the existing
stone patio. Provide new soil and plantings. Will shrink the existing hardcover and provide
small sitting area in dead space and allow access from back door to the yard.
SCANNED
The property was purchased as it is now. As the property sits right now there is major runoff and erosion
happening due to the steep slope off the back of the house and the existing mature trees that provide
shade and a natural look from both the lake and the house. There is an existing large broken up patio with
stairs that go into the home along with a very large broken down staircase from the upper yard into the
lower yard. By doing this landscape we are trying to reduce the runoff and erosion along with possible
pollution being carried into the lake, maintain the health of the existing trees, allow for easer maintenance
of the property, and reduce the existing hardcover. Keeping in mind we are not changing the look of the
property and are preserving it by leveling the yard keeping the tree roots buried and providing access from
the house to the lake. This is not to save money for the property owners. It is to maintain the property,
help keep the lake clean, provide a safe environment, and protect the trees and look of the natural
surroundings.
