CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION IN RE: Application of Kris Knox for a variance from the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure limitation to allow for a 120 square -foot shed in addition to a 997 square foot detached garage on property zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF) — Planning Case #2016-14. On June 7, 2016, 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 uses. 3. The legal description of the property is as follows: Lot 19 and Lot 18, except that part of lot 18 lying northerly of the following described line: Comm at the NWly Comer of Lot 18 thence southerly along the westerly line of lot 18 50 ft. to the point of beginning of the line to be described, then easterly 200 ft. to a point on the easterly line of Lot 18 distant 80 feet southerly of the Northeasterly comer thereof as measured along the easterly line and there terminating, Block 1, Pleasant Acres 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 subject site is zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF). The purpose of the request is to exceed the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure limitation to provide an additional shed. The subject property currently has an accessory structure of 997 square feet as well as a smaller shed. This area consists of single-family homes. The area does not have large accessory structures. The RSF district is intended for single - SCANNED 0 0 family homes and their accessory uses. Large accessory structures are not normally structures accessory to a home. Large accessory structures are usually located on agricultural properties or where businesses are located. 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: Currently, the property owners have reasonable use of the subject property within the Single -Family Residential (RSF). The property has 997 square feet of accessory structure space available for storage in addition, there is a smaller shed located in the rear yard. The addition of a 120 square -foot shed is not reasonable since there is currently a sufficiently large accessory structure that can be used for storage. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The stated intent of the request is for a storage shed for gardening and lawn equipment storage. The applicant states that they could add to their home, "but the building/structural requirements for an attached structure make it very unaffordable". d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The owner currently has 997 square feet of accessory structure space. There are no circumstances unique to the property that preclude its use for a single-family home. This does not constitute a unique hardship not created by the landowner since a 997 square feet accessory structure as well as a smaller accessory shed already exists on the site. The applicant could, as stated in their narrative, expand their home to provide extra storage space. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: There are no other properties within the neighborhood with accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. Multiple and larger accessory structures are not 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 #2016-145, dated June 7, 2016, prepared by Robert Generous, et al, is incorporated herein. F: DECISION n "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies Planning Case #2016-14, a variance from the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure limitation to allow a 120 square -foot shed in addition to a 997 square foot detached garage on property zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF)." ADOPTED by the Chanhassen City Council this Ob day of June, 2016. CrrY OF CHANHASSEN Chairman Chanhassen Planning Comihission — June 7, 2016 Undestad: That the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the 13.6 foot shoreland setback variance and a 4.8 percent hard cover variance as shown on the survey prepared by Gregory R. Prasch dated April 20, 2016, revised April 27, 2016 to construct a two story house and patio subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the Findings of Fact and Decision. Aller: I have a motion. Do I have a second? Madsen: Second. Aller: Thank you. Having a motion and a second, any further discussion? Undestad moved, Madsen seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the 13.6 foot shoreland setback variance and a 4.8 percent hard cover variance as shown on the survey prepared by Gregory R. Prasch dated April 20, 2016, revised April 27, 2016 to construct a two story house and patio subject to the following conditions and adopts the Findings of Fact and Decision: Landscape materials must be installed to absorb additional runoff on the property. Such landscaping may be at the edge of the patio or on the landward side of the rip rap. A landscape plan shall be submitted in conjunction with the building permit application. 2. All trees to be preserved shall be protected with tree fencing located at the dripline or the furthest feasible distance from the trunk. Fencing shall be installed prior to any grading or construction and maintained until construction is finished. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0. Aanenson: Mr. Chairman I'd just like to remind anybody that might be tracking this item, because this was a super majority unless somebody appeals this decision within 4 days, at the end of 4 days then it would be deemed approved. Aller: Correct. Thank you for bringing that out. And so we'll move onto item 2 on the agenda tonight. PUBLIC HEARING: 3801 LESLEE CURVE — REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN EXCESS OF 1.000 SQUARE FEET ON PROPERTY ZONED SINGLE FAMH.Y RESIDENTIAL (RSF) AND LOCATED AT 3801 LESLEE CURVE, LOT 19, BLOCK 1. PLEASANT ACRES. APPLICANVOWNER: KRIS KNOX. 4 Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 7, 2016 • Generous: 'Thank you Chairman Aller, commissioners. Again we have a variance application before the commission. The applicant is Kris Knox and it's a variance for accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. This property is located on the west side of Lake Minnewashta just off of Minnewashta Parkway and it's the northwest comer of Minnewashta Parkway and Glendale which is, and then on the front it's Leslee Curve so that's where it's addressed off of. It's an entire lot and a portion of another lot so that's why it's a little bigger than some in the neighborhood. The applicant is requesting a variance. Right now he has an existing accessory structure that's 987 square feet. He came in to the City to request a zoning permit for a shed that's 120 square feet and also to install some fencing to enclose part of his backyard. We approved the fence permit because that complied with ordinance but then we advised the applicant that he needed a variance to build the accessory structure because he exceeded the 1,000 square foot limitations in city ordinance. We have had several people have contacted the City opposed to us granting the variance application. We reviewed it based on what the 1,000 square foot ordinance application, or limitation was put in for in the past. Again it's a variance for accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. In 2014 we determined that the accessory structure was built in 2005 and they did come in for a permit for the process. The City, in May, 2007 the City adopted the ordinance limiting accessory structures to 1,000 square feet. At that time we were running into problems with accessory structures in agricultural districts being converted to business uses. Additionally we had without any limitations people would build accessory structures and they would often times turn it into some type of business operation which was prohibited under city code. Again the existing shed is 987 square feet. This is the survey application that came in as part of their permit application and we picked up the fencing and we said we can allow that. However it's the shed that he was proposing in the comer. We said that would violate city ordinance and the only way to do that would be to come through a variance process so here we are tonight. We surveyed the neighborhood to see if there are any other large sheds within this immediate area and this is the property right here and this is basically their neighborhood and we couldn't find any other large sheds within that whole area nor along the lake. We have some that probably don't meet their hard cover requirements but again we run in, this is an older neighborhood within the city of Chanhassen so, but we cannot. What people who were calling us said that this really didn't fit in the character of the neighborhood to continue to allow accessory, large accessory structures or large number of accessory structures and we concurred with that discussion that yes, it really large accessory structures are not fitting in this area. The applicant as part of his justification did point out that he could build something attached to his house but it'd be more expensive. However under the review procedures for variances economic considerations aren't supposed to be a determination whether or not something should be approved or not so. Again we did not feel that granting of the variance would be consistent with the neighborhood standards or in compliance with city ordinance. Therefore staff is recommending that we deny the variance application. With that I'd be happy to answer any questions. Aller: Any questions at this point in time? Commissioner Weick. Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 7, 2016 • Weick: I do have a couple just points for clarification. You mentioned the concern as we go over 1,000 square feet that there could be non -conforming uses on the property. Is there any concern right now that there are non -conforming uses on that property? That we know of. Generous: Not specifically. There is some, the site is non -conforming in itself since the house doesn't meet setbacks but he was proposing in a location that would have complied with the setback requirements. Weick: Okay. Generous: As far as we know it's, because of the. Weick: But no commercial or anything that we know of? Generous: Not that I've heard of and that I was aware of. Weick: And then this is a good picture because I think it shows it here as well. There is a, so there's the house, which kind of runs the long way and then there's a, I'm assuming that's a garage in the back. Generous: That's the existing. Weick: The existing 990 square foot. And then just I'm assuming it's timing of the picture. I'm assuming that's the actual mobile home next to it? Generous: Yes. Weick: That's not a structure correct? Generous: No that's a mobile home. Weick: Okay so if we were looking at this picture I mean technically that is not a permanent structure on the property? Generous: No. Weick: Just visually. I want to visually make sure I'm looking at the property correctly here. I mean that's not a building? Generous:. No. Aanenson: No. Yeah we can show you the building. 0 Chanhassen Planning Consission — June 7, 2016 • Weick: It's there as well. Pretend that's not there correct? Generous: Right. Weick: Okay. I just wanted to be sure I got everything square in my head here. Okay. That's all. Aller: Great. Any additional questions? Hearing none if the applicant would like to come forward and give a presentation that would be great. Please state your name and address for the record. Kris Knox: Good evening commissioners and welcome new person. My name is Kris Knox. I live at 3801 Leslee Curve. You know I've got a lot of problems with this. One is that the comments, and there's only one that was attached that I know of in writing from a neighbor that's outside the 500 boundary that saw the gigantic proposed development sign that was put out without letting me know the night before we went on a week long vacation to Mexico so I had frantic neighbors. I already know because I called the front desk also and they had gotten so many calls because rightfully so the neighborhood freaked out when they see neighborhood development. Proposed development. It wasn't. They finally, sometime later, a week later changed it to a smaller sign that said proposed variance but by then the neighborhood was frantic. As many comments that he, Mr. Generous has said that has called against it for whatever reason, I'm guessing is his comments clearly multiple times said that nobody wants a large structure. The large structure's already there. I built it with permission. Spent $70,000. Made it conform to the neighborhood. I've been there for 22 years. We have a, we spent $20,000 on landscaping and my wife gets comments about every time she's out there about people. We take pride in our house. We take pride in our property and what isn't mentioned anywhere in here is the fact that we have an acre of land here. The context of this 1,000 square foot structure, I understand the meaning behind it and I'm a real estate broker. A commercial real estate broker. I understand all the reasons behind something and so I put on my logical Vulcan hat and say what was the intent for this thing because there's usually a good one behind it. I can understand the intent of being aware of over 1,000 square feet, this, that and the other but the context of the size, what else is there. How much variance we're getting. What really is in the neighborhood. Bob in his report, by the way never came out and asked me to visit my property and then walk through it. I do have photographs of where under this beautiful pine tree right about in the middle is where this little 120 square foot shed folks, purchased for $3,000 at Home Depot. Professionally made. Dropped on the spot. Beautiful. Shingled. It's a nice structure. Fit nicely under there to hold my brand new garden tractor which helps me keep my yard up nicely, though my wife does 99 percent of the yard work so I can't say me but us. And there's a mention of an existing shed. First of I do want to clarify because you did mention, a 987 square feet a couple times and I think the thing said 997 square feet so I'm either 7 square feet over or I'm 17 square feet over by asking to put a 120 square foot shed in. The additional shed that he comments several times in here with this commentary which I think is, and this is my opinion and my opinion is about what he's putting in his section which is called factuals and to me a fact is a fact 7 Chanhassen Planning Comission — June 7, 2016 • and so when he starts the factual stuff and mentions, just taking the first thing at a time. That I have this additional shed. It's not an additional shed. It's a 4 foot by 4 foot by 4 foot high cedar playhouse that I built for my daughter 28 years ago in Burnsville and when we moved here 22 years ago I disassembled it and I rebuilt it in that spot and there it is. It's not a shed by any means but the way that it's implied in here just like someone calling up and saying hey what's going on with that giant proposal and it says right here a variance request to build accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. Bob's not the only one who got barraged by people in the neighborhood. I did as well and they found out it was a shed. I wish I had a dollar for every time I saw the rolling of the eyes. It was crazy. Then when I told them that I had to pay $500 okay. $500 for the permission to go 100 square feet over the max on my one acre lot, that if you saw the other pictures that I can show you in addition I'll point to where the shed would be, it's just, it doesn't make any sense and so when he talks about factual stuff and he mentions a 4 foot by 4, a 16 square foot play house as a shed that's not true. He also mentions that it's not reasonable. Again commentary. I mean he thinks it's not reasonable. Well I think it's reasonable. I can explain how I think it's reasonable. If you saw my property and took a few minutes to come by and walk through it with me where I can show you. I can show all of you how it looks reasonable. The one letter that was put in, included in the packet that I saw was from somebody whose again outside the 500 who I know dam well by the looks of it drove by, because their commentary says about how they didn't want this giant structure in the neighborhood because they didn't want to see it as they drove by Minnewashta Parkway. Well that's pretty nice that they have that expectation as neighbors driving by someone else's property but quite honestly without a shed I have a brand new John Deere tractor that gets to sit out without a shed or I could put up one of those temporary structures. I'm talking to Bob about whether it's temporary or not and this, that and the other thing. There's all sorts of things that seem to me would look much worst than a wonderful, beautiful shed that I'm adding onto the rest of my nice property and I don't understand the fact that between the, in my opinion. Excuse me I've got cotton mouth here. Misrepresentation, not disrespectfully with the fact of this giant proposed development sign, the barrage of people who called up and said oh it's 1,000 square foot structure and not even realizing that my garage is already there. It's all just fuzziness. In summary I think it's sort of strange and I'm a commercial real estate broker so I deal with this all the time and I have horror stories that have gone on but the idea that they presumably well paid and gentleman with and the City thinks that $500 is still something that someone should pay to get permission to build something that quite honestly I was trying to follow the rules. I could have put the shed there and I'll bet you nobody would have said anything. My neighbors don't care. It would look good. Somebody here might care but I don't know because either way we do follow the rules. We have followed the rules when I built that beautiful garage and I wish somebody would have come out and said hey, let's look at this and see how it really fits in the neighborhood. I just think that when there's comments that again I've used a few times of the over shed that he mentioned several times that are not normally structures to this neighborhood and I mean almost like I should be ashamed that I have this big monstrosity. It's not a monstrosity. Bob Generous is the inspector ironically that was involved when I did it with permission and a permit 10 years ago. 11 years ago. I don't understand the problem so I'm here asking to you to switch your opinion and approve essentially 100 square feet over the 1,000 foot E3 Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 7, 2016 • maximum on a very reasonable situation on my 1 acre lot. My lot is the second largest in our entire neighborhood and is at least a third or 50 percent larger than most of the other lots in the neighborhood so the 1,000 square foot and how it looks in comparison, how it sits on my property and how things are really spread out and look nice, that should be considered. I do have photographs that were included in the packet. Didn't end up in this that show the placement of the shed under my beautiful pine tree. That one that's right next to, well actually it's right there. That little red spot is where I was going to put it. Little closer tucked under the tree but that's about it. So I guess respectfully my wife and I would ask that you, what I think put some common reasonable sense into the situation. The context being what it is and to allow me to put up my shed that I've paid for and is sitting on the lot of Home Depot wanting me to put it somewhere and I'd like to put it in my yard to protect my equipment. Thank you very much. Aller: Great, thank you. Kris Knox: If anybody has any questions. Aller: Is it possible for, what's in the 997 square foot structure now? Kris Knox: Well 997 is my garage that I built for my RV. Aller: Okay but what's in there now? Just the RV goes in? Kris Knox: RV and my boats and toys. Jet skis. Water, snowmobiles. I mean I, all licensed. Aller: Sure. Kris Knox: You know I'm a consumer. I have lots of nice things. Like to protect them. I bought a very, very expensive RV. I built a very expensive garage to put it in. I'm very serious about protecting my stuff. I don't think the shed is misrepresenting the neighborhood at all. I don't think the shed is offending anybody and it's protecting my investment in the equipment that I buy to take care of my yard ironically enough so. Aller: Any other questions based on that? Weick: Just following up though. Aller: Mr. Weick. Weick: Does that, could that equipment fit in the garage? Kris Knox: No it can't. Weick: Okay. 0 Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 7, 2016 • Kris Knox: And again, again my reading of this and a couple times that somehow that I, according to Bob that I should have enough space he's decided and I don't know that that's in the realm of seriously the variance considerations of one paid city guy can do a one sided thing that says in his opinion he thinks it's inappropriate and I don't know that that's a factual issue first of all and I would like to play it upon 1, 2, 3, 6 realistic people to say whether that is reasonable or not reasonable to have a smaller additional 100 square feet over the variance amount so I can park my nice equipment. Aller: Anything else? Thank you. Oh. Randall: Mr. Knox I totally understand your frustration at this you know. I totally understand your frustration with this. However you know I mean it's the amount of structures that's what the issue, and I know in your letter you mentioned if it was attached it would be a different story. Is that a possibility for you? Kris Knox: You know here's the irony about the attachment and here's the irony quite honestly in the, and I'm just saying this because it's been brought up by the reality of it. The answer to your question is it's very expensive to do that. Here's the irony though. I get a 25 percent hard cover. I've got such a large lot that even with this new shed I'm only at 15 percent. According to the structure and math is math, according I could use the rest of my 5 or 4 percent or whatever and add 2,900 square feet to my house and then I could go 2 stories which the neighbors really love. I could also paint it pink with purple polka dots in tribute to Prince and the Vikings together. I mean all sorts of goofy things but when people think about what the neighborhood looks like they're not going to complain about our house, unless someone brings up something I haven't noticed and the neighbors haven't been complimenting about for the last 10 years so it's very expensive to add on and the irony is what I could do I'm thinking would be much worst than what I'm asking for. Randall: No and I understand. I understand that. I was just looking for a solution to the problem so everyone could be happy. Kris Knox: Well attachment would require you know that I have a concrete floor. That it's frost footed. That it's attached to the, I mean it's 5 times as much money. I've already, $500 has already added 17 percent of the cost of my lowly shed. Randall: Understand, okay. Thank you. Kris Knox: Thank you for the opportunity to speak my piece. Aller: Okay at this point in time we'll open up the public hearing portion of this item so any individual in the room would like to forward and speak either for or against the item can do so at this time. Come forward and state your name and address for the record please. 10 Chanhassen Planning Colssion — June 7, 2016 • Court MacFarlane: Okay my name is Court MacFarlane. I live at 3800 Leslee Curve which is directly across the street to the west. I'm actually here to speak in opposition to the variance request. Frankly I don't see any particular compelling reason to grant it. I've lived in that house for 40 years. I was actually there before this house was even built and although I'm not, I don't know Mr. Knox very well. Pardon? Aanenson: Can we have your house... Court MacFarlane: It's across the street that way. Keep going. Yeah right there. You're on top of it. That's it. That's my home there. Aller: Please continue. Court MacFarlane: Okay. My issue with this whole thing is that Mr. Knox does have that accessory shed and the camper that is supposed to be in there is not very often in there. I know he has a lot of other items that are parked, or stored in there. The house has a 2 car tuck under garage on the south end. I don't know that I've ever seen a car in there. I know it's being used for storage. In the back of his house on the east side is another garage door and I believe that also is a storage area. He has at least 3 or 4 fenced areas in his yard where he does store other items outside and I just think this would be something that would add to the clutter on the property. I don't know what else I can say. I just think it's an over use of a particular property. By the way my business also happens to be commercial real estate. I was doing that for 35 years. I'm semi -retired. I'm still in the property management business. I manage, currently manage 7 different properties, or homeowners associations that have over, well the total's probably about 600-700 units all together. Now each of those associations is a lot newer than our's. Pleasant Acres is a very old association and when it was designed or when it was put together they didn't write binding by-laws and declarations. Each of the 7 associations that I manage not only of them even permits accessory structures so I think we have to rely on the City for ordinances to keep that kind of thing under control. I'm surprised that, you know I'm not surprised that it's permitted but there has to be a limit on what is permitted and I'm open to questions too if anybody would like to ask anything. Aller: Anyone? Thank you for your comments. Court MacFarlane: You're welcome. Aller: Any other individual wishing to come forward can do so at this time. Speak either for or against. Seeing no one come forward, close the public hearing. Open up for commissioners discussion. Variances like this are always difficult. We've had a number of them in the past and have to go through and balance the zoning, the ordinances and the ability to use the property for a reasonable purpose. I1 Chanhassen Planning Commission — June 7, 2016 0 Madsen: Although I have sympathy with wanting to protect property and keep it out of the weather, when you look at the Findings of Fact in approving a variance I have difficulty in the practical difficulties area and that the variance is not based on economic conditions alone so I would not be in favor of the variance. Aller: Any additional comments at this point in time? Commissioner Weick comments? Weick: I don't know I'd love some help. Aller: I know it's tough. Weick: I really don't know to be honest. Aller: What kind of information can we get you or assistance can we get you to make a decision because you have to vote on this. Weick: I know we do right? I mean I'm just trying to buy a little bit of time maybe for all of us but I mean in and of itself you know, I don't consider it to be, I mean the shed itself is not a large structure right. Going in reverse if there had been a shed and then we were building out the back we would just say build the garage to 900 and whatever. 900 square feet and I think we'd be fine so. Honestly what I'm wrestling with, I do, you know I've seen in the pictures and the pictures that were provided in the packet but a homeowner as well as these pictures and obviously there's a lot of things on the property. I'm honestly trying to struggle with, you know does adding a shed potentially improve that or does it just add to it. I don't know. I mean I think if we honestly believed it would help store things out of sight then maybe in a better way. I don't know that it doesn't help the property. I could sure use some guidance if there's other opinions. Aller: Well when in doubt I always look to the ordinances and to me that's our guidance and we're looking to find exceptions under the outlines of the ordinances that say that we have to find practical difficulties. We have to find that it's not economic in nature. That it's something that's unique to the property and so I have difficulty in meeting those requirements that it's unique to the property when you've got several structures already there so I will be voting against it. Anyone else? Comments. Questions. Concerns. Any information we can get from stats? Hearing none I'll entertain any motions. Mr. Undestad. Undestad: Well yeah. Just before I do though I think I just want to make one more comment on again looking at everything that's on the site and spread out around the site and the fact that the homeowner can add on things to his house on there. He can attach a structure on there that might take care of more things on the site. He has the space. He has the room for it. That might be something to look at so I guess that, I mean just for the small shed for the lawn tractor and the variance I don't see that so, so I'll make a motion here. That the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the variance request to build accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet and adopts the Findings of Fact and Decision. 12 Chanhassen Planning Comlission — June 7, 2016 • Aller: Having a motion do I have a second? Tietz: Second. Aller: I have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Undestad moved, Tietz seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the variance request #2016-06 to build accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet and adopts the Findings of Fact and Decision. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0. Aller: Because the item was denied an appeal should be filed on this matter within 4 days and it should be done in writing if you desire to do so. If the appeal is filed appropriately then the matter would go to the City Council on June 27, 2016 and again anyone that wishes at home to see these items and the packages that are before us when we're making our decisions, they are on the website and available to you. PUBLIC HEARING: FOXWOOD. WILSON NURSERY SITE, 9150 GREAT PLAINS BOULEVARD: REQUEST FOR A WETLAND ALTERATION PERMIT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE BLUFF CREEK OVERLAY DISTRICT (BCOD), REZONING FROM AGRICULTURAL ESTATE DISTRICT (A2) TO RESIDENTIAL LOW AND MEDIUM DENSITY (RL M), AND A 52 LOT SUBDIVISION WITH VARIANCES ON 43.55 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9150 AND 9250 GREAT PLAINS BOULEVARD. APPLICANT: PROVIDENCE 55, LLC. OWNER: JIM WILSON & PAUL PAULSON. Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller, commissioners. The application before us, this is the public bearing and it goes to council on June 27`s. Providence 55 Limited Liability Company is the applicant. Jim Wilson and Paul Paulson are current property owners of the two properties. The request includes a rezoning, a conditional use permit, a subdivision review with variances and a wetland alteration permit. The property's located at 9150 and 9250 Great Plains Boulevard. This is south of Lyman Boulevard on the west side of 101 or Great Plains Boulevard. Currently the Wilson property, the northerly piece is accessed from a driveway directly across from the access to Bandimere Park. The two single family homes are accessed via a shared driveway just south on, but it's on 101. Wilson's property has historically been used as a wholesale nursery and if you go out there you see the rows of trees that are being held on site. That's the open part of the property. The site has significant topographic challenges within it. It goes from a high of 932 feet approximately to a low of 888 feet. To the west the City has acquired the Fox property which is to be preserved as permanent open space. As part of this development they would be providing some pedestrian access into it and then the City within the park it's more a nature preserve rather than an active park facility that they're looking at.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a variance for accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. LOCATION: 3801 Leslee Curve - Lot 19 and Part of Lot 18, Block 1, Pleasant Acres APPLICANT: Kris Knox 3801 Leslee Curve Excelsior, MN 55331 PRESENT ZONING: Single -Family Residential (RSF) 2020 LAND USE PLAN: ACREAGE: 0.81 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. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a variance in order to construct an accessory structure that will bring the square footage of accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 20, Articla II, Division 3, Variances Chapter 20, Article XII, "RSF" Single -Family Residential District Chapter 20, Article XIII, General Supplemental Regulations Section 20-904. Accessory Structures 0 0 Planning Commission 3801 Leslee Curve — Planning Case 2016-14 June 7, 2016 Page 2 of 3 BACKGROUND The house was built in 1979. The Pleasant Acres subdivision was approved on January 7, 1957 by Carver County. SITE CONDITIONS The single-family home located on the property is non -conforming in that it does not meet the setback from Glendale Drive. The property slopes from west to east with a high point along Leslee Curve at approximately 980 and a low point on Minnewashta Parkway at 964. NEIGHBORHOOD The area consists completely of single-family detached housing. There are three parcels to the south of the site that could be further subdivided. Staff has found only two variance applications within the neighborhood: Variance 80-10 3821 Glendale Drive Variance for trailer home allowed for three months. PC #2002-4 3920 Leslee Curve Variance for a 3 '/2 ft. side yard setback approved. ANALYSIS The proposed new accessory structure does not exceed 200 square feet, therefore, a building permit is not required. However, a zoning permit would be necessary. Upon review of the zoning permit application, the city discovered that the accessory structures would exceed 1,000 square feet and that a variance would be necessary to construct this shed. Staff has performed an aerial survey of the properties within 1,000 feet of the site and could not find another accessory structure even close to 1,000 square feet. The use of large accessory structures in single-family residential areas is extremely out of character with the residential nature of the neighborhood. Currently, the property owners have reasonable use of the subject property within the Single -Family Residential District (RSF). The property has 997 square feet of accessory structure space Planning Commission 3801 Leslee Curve —Planning Case 2016-14 June 7, 2016 Page 3 of 3 available for storage. Additionally, there is a smaller shed located in the rear yard. The addition of a 120 square -foot shed is not reasonable since there is currently a sufficiently large accessory structure that can be used for storage. Further, the applicant could expand the existing house to create additional storage space while still complying with the zoning regulations. Historically, the city has permitted accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet for agricultural uses with either Rural Residential or Agricultural Estate zoning district. Allowing the use of large accessory structures in single-family residential areas may permit the creep of non- residential uses in to neighborhood areas and would lead to a change in the character of the neighborhood. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the variance request and adopts the attached findings of fact and decision. ATTACHMENTS Findings of Fact and Decision Development Review Application Applicant Narrative Shed Brochure View Toward East of Yard View to South of Yard View to West of Yard Zoning Permit Application Email from Jane Bender to Bob Generous dated May 27, 2016 Public Hearing Notice and Mailing List 0 0 CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUN'T'IES, MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION IN RE: Application of Kris Knox for a variance from the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure limitation to allow for a 120 square -foot shed in addition to a 997 square foot detached garage on property zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF) — Planning Case #2016-14. On June 7, 2016, 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 uses. 3. The legal description of the property is as follows: Lot 19 and Lot 18, except that part of lot 18 lying northerly of the following described line: Comm at the NWly Corner of Lot 18 thence southerly along the westerly line of lot 18 50 ft. to the point of beginning of the line to be described, then easterly 200 ft. to a point on the easterly line of Lot 18 distant 80 feet southerly of the Northeasterly corner thereof as measured along the easterly line and there terminating, Block 1, Pleasant Acres 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 subject site is zoned Single -Family Residential District (RSF). The purpose of the request is to exceed the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure limitation to provide an additional shed. The subject property currently has an accessory structure of 997 square feet as well as a smaller shed. This area consists of single-family homes. The area does not have large accessory structures. The RSF district is intended for single- 0 0 family homes and their accessory uses. Large accessory structures are not normally structures accessory to a home. Large accessory structures are usually located on agricultural properties or where businesses are located. 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: Currently, the property owners have reasonable use of the subject property within the Single -Family Residential (RSF). The property has 997 square feet of accessory structure space available for storage in addition, there is a smaller shed located in the rear yard. The addition of a 120 square -foot shed is not reasonable since there is currently a sufficiently large accessory structure that can be used for storage. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The stated intent of the request is for a storage shed for gardening and lawn equipment storage. The applicant states that they could add to their home, "but the building/structural requirements for an attached structure make it very unaffordable". d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The owner currently has 997 square feet of accessory structure space. There are no circumstances unique to the property that preclude its use for a single-family home. This does not constitute a unique hardship not created by the landowner since a 997 square feet accessory structure as well as a smaller accessory shed already exists on the site. The applicant could, as stated in their narrative, expand their home to provide extra storage space. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: There are no other properties within the neighborhood with accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. Multiple and larger accessory structures are not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. £ 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 #2016-145, dated June 7, 2016, prepared by Robert Generous, et al, is incorporated herein. 2 • DECISION C-] "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies Planning Case #2016-14, a variance from the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure limitation to allow a 120 square -foot shed in addition to a 997 square foot detached garage on property zoned Single -Family Residential (RSF) " ADOPTED by the Chanhassen City Council this 6"' day of June, 2016.

We built a 997sf garage for our motorhome 7 or 8 years ago, and now we need a small shed. We purchased a pre -built "Tough Shed", from Home Depot in Chaska for $3,100. It is a 10' X 12' (120sf) quality -built shed with full height double doors, a pitched roof, and a very sturdy steel frame (Brochure attached). We have almost an acre of land and would place the shed under mature pine trees, facing east, blending in nicely between our home and the RV garage A shed is needed to properly store gardening and lawn equipment and supplies. We could add onto our home to make another garage, or basic attached "shed", and as an attached structure would not require a variance, but the building/structural requirements for an attached structure make it very unaffordable (Full footings, concrete floor, design, etc.) Even with the small, 120sf shed added to our large yard, we would still be at only 16.67% hardcover, and the variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the locality. We respectfully request you grant our request for a variance to allow us to install a 120sf shed on our property.
