that we're really minimalizing it. If we're going to have a motion like this that we minimalize
the impact.
Weick: You mean with a smaller structure?
Aller: It could be a smaller structure. It could be the setback that goes to the very edge of the
bluff setback so it's only the minimal amount that is needed or is required to allow them to move
forward. And where would that line be?
Aanenson: Chairman I think we're pretty confident that's where we located it. I think if your
condition is going to, are there other things we can do to mitigate, drainage coming off the bluff.
I think that's something we can look at and make that, if that's one of your conditions that we
can work to see if we need to provide something there to, if there's runoff in that area. If it's
concentrated or something that we could look at something there. But we believe that that's the
spot.
Aller: That's the spot.
Aanenson: With least amount of impact, correct.
Allen And our hardship is in reality this, the easement. Does anybody have any thoughts on
runoff or erosion created by the building or an accessory structure? Okay.
Tennyson: If you look at it it's meeting all of the requirements in the findings for the variance
then I'm not sure you have to look beyond that.
Allen Ahight, I have a motion and a second. All those in favor.
Weick moved, Undestad seconded the Chanhassen Planning Commission acting as the
Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a variance from the bluff setback
requirements to allow a 18 foot by 12 foot water oriented structure 17 feet from the toe of a
bluff on property zoned Single Family Residential District (RSF), Planning Case 2014-20
and adoption of the Findings of Fact and Recommendation. An voted in favor, except
Chairman Afler who opposed, and the motion carried with a vote of 6 to 1.

Aanenson: Tbank you Chairman Aller, members of the Planning Commission. This item, 960
Carver Beach Road, Planning Case 2014-21. The applicants are Christopher and Barbara King.
The location is Carver Beach and as I mentioned 960 off of Carver Beach Road. This item did
appear before the Planning Commission in, excuse me was approved in August 12, 2013. The
City Council approved a variance for hard cover of 5.8 percent to allow for a total hard cover of

30.8 with the following conditions of approval. They provide a tree survey. The building be
limited to a split level or two story design and the builder apply for a building permit. All those
were accomplished and the buyer bought this lot and moved forward with the building permit.
Meeting the setback requirements and meeting the hard surface requirement. But as the as -built
survey came through it was determined you know to meet the 30.8 percent impervious
requirement that the driveway was rather sculpted in a way that didn't make it very efficient for
the applicant to or the owner to get into the third stall garage. Again it met all the requirements
but in practicality it did get permitted through the planning office and unfortunately this isn't the
type of driveway that we would approve like this and it did go through that way. 10feetatthe
narrowest part and then getting to that sharp comer, and I'll show again illustratively when you
look at that picture from here. Difficult to get in and again a 10 foot for a 2 car garage pretty
minimal. Even a third stall. It is a 3 stall garage but I want to point out, I put into the staff report
the dimensions of the third stall and it meets the, really pretty minimal as far as depth
requirements. When you look at a typical 3 car garage it's pretty narrow and the depth isn't that
great. Also in the depth of the garage it also is encumbered by the fact that you have to go up the
stairs to get into the house so typically on a, someone that would want the additional storage.
While this doesn't have additional storage space for a shed or something. The hard cover is used
up. I think the owners desire to provide that went astray in their desire to have that and also in
our approval of it in this form and fashion. Some of the compromises should have been made
but unfortunately it did go through. One of the issues that was brought up by the Water
Resources Coordinator is you know when we had the severe rains in June the, in the Carver
Beach Road, that's what these pictures are looking flash flooding in this area. And this is Carver
Beach Road. Runoff that would be in this area. There is minimal storm drainage and this is one
of the older parts in town so you have surface water that travels where it will to find that spot to,
you know there's no curb and to where it needs to go. Again this is kind of Kerber Pond.
Kerber Boulevard as it's going towards the pond there. You can see the overflow so this is one
of the concerns when we look at drainage as a whole in this area, why the hard surface
requirement is something that we consider. I just also want to point out that we changed our
requirements for hard cover and permitting zoning permits and that goes back to the case we just
discussed and we changed that in 2005 so now we require everybody to get a zoning permit. So
a zoning permit doesn't necessarily mean a building permit but we want to check to make sure
that you're not exceeding your hard cover. You're meeting the setbacks. You're not putting a
structure over the utility easement. Those sort of things so it mayjust be someone that wants to
put up a retaining wall or that sort of thing that's under 4 feet. We typically don't take a permit
for that but we check to make sure that they're not putting it into the utility easement. How is
that impacting drainage in the area? So we call those zoning permits and then we work with our
residents to make sure that we understand what they're doing and how that would effect so in the
Carver Beach area as a whole we've, the Water Resources Coordinator has been working on
doing some improvements in the area and I think next year's street projects or the year after
we're going to be doing some additional projects up in the Carver Beach area to manage some of
this so these were the comments from the Water Resources and this is kind of the larger drainage
area and the home kind of up in this area, this LB48 would be the basin. Kind of where that's
impacting so I just want to emphasize as the Water Resources Coordinator was kind of reluctant
to say you know yeah. We can go beyond that so the applicant proposed a driveway that was at
34 percent. Now I kind of clicked this because you can see here the existing driveway. Just take
a pointer here. See if this works. Kind of follow my little red pen here. So this is the existing
driveway. So this is what the applicants wanted to do. So this would allow you when you pull
up a car to get groceries out. Get a child out of the back seat. Get you to the front door and then

this is a radius then to get you into that third staff with additional there. The staffs goal was to
try to minimize that and working to try to reduce minimal hard cover to make it functional and
then reduce the amount of hard cover. So in taking that into consideration the staff's
recommendation would be the 33.3 percent but then also to mitigate that by providing that extra
volume that was added to the site by creating a rain garden or using impervious pavers and that
was the recommendation from the Water Resources so that would be the only way to move
forward with that would be to minimize it and then also to compensate for that or mitigate that
by creating that rain garden. So they'd have to create, calculate what that volume would be and
provide that. I also wanted to let you know that we did receive a number of calls on this going
back to this house shouldn't have been built and again you know we've gone through that
discussion. Legally the right to build on the house. We'll take some responsibility for the way
the driveway got shaped. Again it probably shouldn't have been approved that way because it's
really not functional so we did want to resolve that as far as the aesthetics of that whole thing and
also there's complaints about the cars from this home parking on the drive. On the street. It is
not marked no parking. We do allow parking on the public street. Obviously there's winter
parking rules that would have to be posted no parking but in hoping that the driveway is
improved that the neighbors in good faith then would try to keep their cars in the driveway. This
street does act kind of, as a minor collector so sight lines are improvement over there. And I also
did include in your packet a letter from one of the neighbors too concerned about that. I also
want to say in this Carver Beach area as a whole, going back to that 2005, there are probably
other properties that are over. When we did all those PUD's 2 years ago when we did all 30
some of them, we found all kinds of interesting things out in the older parts of town where
properties were set next to the street. Fence lines went quite a bit over neighboring properties
and things weren't permitted as they are today so it's unfortunate this happened and we'll
apologize for our part of it. Again probably the third stall was probably not the best choice for
this but this is what we have today. So we are recommending, the staffs, the 33.4 which would
be an additional 2.5 percent and then with the conditions in the staff report which included that
they provide that mitigation area so with that I'd be happy to answer any questions that you may
have.
Aller: Questions? This was before us a year ago so it's fairly familiar to all of us I believe. And
then I guess when we did those amendments we looked at this whole area and we were trying to
make sure that we didn't punish homeowners because of the natural scenario that they had the
different lots that were out there and the way things were. We just wanted to make sure that
people in the future knew what they were, when they bought something, what they could build
and what was allowable.
Aanenson: Yep, that's correct Chairman Aller. I think part of the goal was to let people know.
You know we tried to simplify when people were doing title checks to sell their home, we had all
kinds of anomalies out there so we wanted to clarify their PUD's so it was simpler for someone
else trying to list their property and then also an opportunity to educate people on what now we
require moving forward but what's out there is out there.
Aller: Great. And then do we have any idea of the calculations that would need to be done for
the rain garden if that's something we look at? What that would entail.
Fauske: We would certainly work with the applicant to devise a plan of something that's
amenable to what would meet their requirements. Either porous pavement. Some sort of rain
24
0 0 14
Chanhassen Planning Commission — August 19, 2014
garden feature. Just an attempt to try to make an effort and we would help them with those
calculations and siting of those amenities.
Aller: The motion before us would set that amount at the 25% which is the current restriction.
Not what's actually on the property, correct?
Fauske: Correct. So anything over 25% would be treated through a porous pavement, rain
garden, or a combination of any amenity.
Aller: And then porous pavements, how would we enforce the use of porous pavement if
somebody was to pour sand on it or alter it in some form or fashion?
Fauske: I think we'd look back to the variance procedure that was granted. I mean if, as part of
being granted a variance and being allowed to keep the non -conformity that exists, one of the
conditions is to have that. As far as a, to bring up a situation where this has happened before. I
don't have one of those unforumately. We are on some new territory here. We would certainly
hope that the current homeowner and any future homeowner would agree that any porous
pavement, rain garden, such thing would be a benefit not only to their property but to the whole
neighborhood and would want to keep it that way.
Aller: Krista, you have something to add?
Spreiter: Yes. Thanks. Just to add to that. For projects where we've done some sort of
stormwater treatment, usually there's a maintenance agreement that is signed by the homeowner
and it kind of spells out what their maintenance responsibilities are and how long they have to
perform those maintenance activities. However usually it is terminated when the house is sold so
that's what we've done in the past.
Aanenson: I think that's something you might want to consider as an addition to, if you do
choose to recommend approval I think what Krista just stated is important to have a maintenance
agreement on this because we're giving a variance. A variance runs with the property. Often
times the engineering department works to fmd alternatives to provide when they're doing street
recon projects, to provide residents that are willing to work with them or want to do some
improvements on their own but in this case, because you are granting a variance you could make
it run with the property.
Aller: Thank you. That's what I was looking for. And this is a problem area with storrnwater
management.
Fauske: That's correct.
Aller: So this is, this would be a good thing to have. Either a rain garden. Some additional if
we're going to move forward, or even without. All the homeowners should consider rain
gardens or, this area is in dire need of making sure that we don't have that stormwater running
into the lake.

Fauske: Correct. As Kate alluded to, we are looking at doing a resurfacing project in this area
next year and we will be looking at alternative measures for storrawater mitigation with that
project.
Aller: Okay, thank you. Any other questions at this point? Okay, if we can have the applicant
come forward. If they'd like to make a presentation. Sir, if you could state your name and
address for the record.
Chris King: Hi. My name is Chris King. I live at 960 Carver Beach Road.
Aller: Welcome Mr. King.
ChrisKing: Tbankyou. I'm going to just read because I'm not very good at speaking if you
don't mind.
Aller: That's okay. None of us are.
Chris King: So good evening. Thank you for taking the time to hear our request. My family
and I moved here a couple of months ago and love the city of Chanhassen and what it has to
offer us. The last thing we wanted to do is move in and immediately cause problems. We
wanted to wait a little while so, no. Just kidding. We do however feel that our request for an
increase in our driveway is important and reasonable. We would like to thank Mr. Gerhardt, Mr.
Generous, Ms. Aanenson. I hope I'm saying that correctly, and others involved for their
recommendation and support as we realize 33.4 percent would go a long way to help our
situation. We would however still like to respectfully request the full 34 percent that we have
applied for because we feel it better fits our needs. When we made the request of 34 percent we
did so understanding that this property has already had a 36 percent hard cover variance granted
to Anita Benson in 2001 which was allowed to expire. Since that time the City has made
significant upgrades to the drainage system. We also realize that Chanhassen's population
continues to grow but we don't feet like our request will have a significant impact. We are also
willing to follow the team's recommendation that we either use pervious material or plant a rain
garden. Another factor we feel should be considered is our proximity to Carver Beach Park
which is basically one house down from us so there's a house separating us from a very large
open area. We are even willing to create a larger garden to accommodate the extra .6 percent if
you were willing to bring it up to 34 percent. We also feel the full 34 percent is reasonable
because we are a social family with young children and often host guests. At 33.4 percent we
will not be able to fit as many cars as we would if the end of the driveway were wide enough,
therefore creating the need to park on the street. Carver Beach Road is a very busy, very fast
road with motorized traffic and this can pose a safety issue. Our house is actually positioned at
the top of a hill so as you come over the hill it can kind of be a blind area. It's hard to see there.
We also feel our request would meet an aesthetic need for our neighborhood. Our neighbors
have been supportive and welcoming but we do know that our current driveway and even the
driveway at 33.4 percent will have an unusual look. One neighbor has even expressed the
concern that it may be diminishing property value. Finally we would like to bring to the
attention the fact, excuse me. Finally we would like to bring attention to the fact that in the
report it was noted that we already applied for and were approved for a hard cover variance.
This is not true as the variance was granted to the previous owner, Mr. David Moore whom I

purchased the land from. Thank you again for taking the time to hear our request. We are
excited to move forward with this project and begin our long residency in the city. Thanks.
Aller: Thank you Mr. King. Any questions of Mr. King?. Great, thank you.
Chris King: Thank you.
Aller: Okay open up the public hearing portion of the meeting. Anyone wishing to speak either
for or against this item can do so at this time. If you can please state your name and address for
the record, that would be great.
Carol Zalusky: My name is Carol Zalusky and I live at 960 Western Drive.
Aller: Welcome.
CarolZalusky: Two streets over and I kind of represent some concerns of our community. The
people in our area. We're very disappointed to see over 25% coverage for that building even
being approved because there have been other people in our neighborhood that have asked for
variances to expand their home. Not even getting close to this degree of coverage and you know
that's been denied in the past. I mean I'm talking several years ago. Not current but you know
the push has been in our community to try to have the green space. I would like to know how
much the actual structure covers. Of that building. Not considering driveway, sidewalks. How
much does the structure cover?
Aanenson: It's approximately 34 by 20. That's for the house itself and then the garage is.
Carol Zalusky: The house and garage. You know the building itself
Aanenson: We're adding it up here. 1,292.
Aller: 1,292.
CarolZalusky: And so what percentage is that? Of the square footage of the lot?
Generous: It's 21 percent.
Carol Zalusky: Okay, 21 percent so you�re almost to the 25 just with the structure.
Aanenson: Right.
Aller: Right.
CarolZalusky: So have they considered, you know rain gardens area great idea. There'snota
lot of extra space you know when you've had that much coverage so how much really could you
do? You know it's kind of on a slope already you know so how could the rain gardens fit in the
front yard? Into really cover drainage coming off of the home.

Aller: If we were to add conditions to this, my understanding is what happens is that those
conditions would have to be met before the variance could take place so.
Carol Zalusky: Okay.
Aller: It would be a matter of them working with the City to determine and calculate what that
percentage is and that's why I asked the question before. What amount are we looking for in
some kind of remediation.
Carol Zalusky: Right.
Aller: And we're going back to if the property was 25 percent we want to meet that so that's the
calculations that would be involved in the motion the way it stands right now.
Carol Zalusky: Okay. Alright.
Aller: Does that make sense?
Carol Zalusky: Right. I mean and I know there are other materials. I mean now they have these
pavers that, you know they're a hard surface that you can still drive on but what kind of grass
grows through so you have more drainage taking place so just want to see if other things could
be entertained so, I mean we're just very concerned about.
Aller: And I think those are very good question and very good points and I think that's one of
the things that the staff was recommending was that they use the type of materials that will
allow.
Carol Zalusky: The pervious, yeah.
Aller: The water to go through and then seep into the ground slowly and then we have the ability
to slow that stormwater runoff.
Carol Zalusky: Right, right, right so I guess if we're going to approve a variance we should have
a requirement of the better surface area so that's just an opinion of the neighborhood.
Aller: Thank you and I remember the neighborhood coming the last time so, tell them hi. Any
other individuals wishing to come forward to speak either for or against. Seeing no one coming
forward, we will close the public hearing on the matter before us and go ahead and ask for
comments or questions or discussion.
Undestad: I guess just one question of Alyson. Their comment about getting that extra point, a
bigger rain garden, is that even a possibility or no?
Fauske: We can work with the applicant to provide additional, additional surface either in a rain
garden or as stated before. Either a porous pavement or some other amenity for the additional. I
don't see it being an issue but as Kate indicated the variance isn't finalized until they've met all
the requirements of it so if there would be an issue that came up with granting that additional .4
W
0 0 1%
Chanhassen Planning Commission — August 19, 2014
percent, if that came up during the design phases that that isn't conceivable then the variance
would only stand for what they've provided.
Aanenson: Then I think what we looked at too, talking with the Water Resources Coordinator, it
may take two. You know divide that so you have that front yard. It might be two on either side
of the driveway or something Re that.
Undestad: Okay.
Aller: Any additional comments or questions? How do we feel about the straight up variance?
Is that something anyone is interested in entertaining or, I prefer if we're going to consider it all
to go to the additional conditions. Especially in light of the history of the property. It's been
before the council. It's been before us. My first blush response, hearing that it was going to
come back on was to say no until I read the potential for the conditions. Then my position soften
so interested in hearing positions on that.
Weick: If you attach conditions about the type of material or whatever, rain gardens, whatever it
is, would you be inclined to approve the homeowner request of 34 percent or stick with the city
request of 33 percent? I guess if we're going to put conditions would you consider, I mean
we're basically talking about that little chunk.
Aller: Well I think that's what Commissioner Undestad was getting to when he was asking the
question. Is it feasible in the first place to even go up if we're going to go to that 25 percent? I
think it's absolutely should be a requirement in my opinion to have it meet the 25 percent
requirement for the runoff so that we can basically remediate the condition of the property so that
that neighborhood doesn't suffer because of the building. And then the question is, is it worth
fighting over the extra one percent? If it makes the value of the property an enhancement in the
use of the property, an enhancement for all involved, including the neighbors. We're looking at
a 3 car garage as opposed to 2 car garage. And I think all the neighbors would appreciate the
fact that they can park on their driveway or in the garage as opposed to on the street.
Undcstad: So Kate, if we looked at it with, if we approve it with the additional. With the full 34
percent and they go back and find out, okay there's not enough room for rain gardens and we
can't get it down to the 25 percent, does it automatically go back to the 33.4?
Aanenson: Yes. Our condition would be that it's driven by they provide that 25 percent.
Whatever's over that 25 percent.
Undestad: Okay.
Aanenson: Yeah. If that's the way you're going.
Undestad: Well I, you know if they can get the 25 percent and if at the end of the day they meet
the 25 percent and keep their cars off the street.
Aller: I mean the alternative is a strict one. Typically would be required that we'djust say no
but here we're presented with a unique.
29
-P 0 0
Chanhassen Planning Commission — August 19, 2014
Hokkanen: Another unique.
Aller: Opportunity to hopefully resolve the issue without creating a problem for new owners.
Had it be the old owners I'd probably be feeling a little different about it.
Undestad: And that brings up another question Kate. On the agreements, they have to enter into
the maintenance and agreements for these wetlands or the, sorry the rain gardens but it was
mentioned that that expires with the sale of the house. We could put it in where it would run.
Aanenson: Right. I think we're talking about a street recon project or some of that is applied
and say I'd like to get some fianding to look at this for some alternative but in this circumstance it
runs with the property. A variance runs with the property so if they would sell the house and the
future homeowner would be bound by maintaining that rain garden.
Undestad: Okay.
Aanenson: Yeah, which is similar to conditions that we would put on any other property.
Hokkanen: And they would have to disclose that with the sale of the property.
Aanenson: Exactly.
Hokkanen: Right.
Aller: Any additional thoughts? Comments?
Carol Zalusky: Can I ask another question?
Aller: Sure, come on up. We'll open up the public hearing.
Carol Zalusky: Just because I'm really familiar with that area and I don't know about this house
but some of the homes pump water constantly out of their sump pumps. I mean our neighbor
next door, every 15 minutes even in these drier periods. Swoosh. Swoosh. So you know that
also is a little concern of mine. You know there's another additional water flow coming out of
these homes and I don't know about this home if that's on a spring also because there are so
many springs that have pretty high water table. Just another consideration in terms of the water.
Aller: Tliank you. While we have it open does anyone else wish to speak on it? Alright, we'll
close it up again. And then I think going to the 25 percent is really the end result which would
resolve that issue. I mean the water's going to come. The question is where is it coming from?
Is it really this particular parcel's problem? And then on top of that if we're reducing our flow to
25 percent, I think that's what's before us and what we're considering at this point.
Aanenson: Can I just clarify one thing for the record too. While this applicant didn't apply for a
variance. That was the kind of the rule set for that lot you know so, they were given a variance
that they had to work within and unfortunately they chose to go wider garage and here we are
today because if we would have stuck with the 2 car, how it was represented, we wouldn't be in
30
0 0 9%
Chanhassen Planning Commission — August 19, 2014
this situation so we'll take our responsibility for that but putting the third stall is kind of what
was the tipping point here. Now we're trying to fix the situation.
Aller: Which is the alternative. We can toe the hard line and say no. They were before us. We
gave them a variance. it was approved by the City and it was approved before council. I mean
clearly it's a buildable lot and all those other issues are gone. And then what we ended up with
was not as represented and it's non -conforming.
Undestad: But we did approve the building permit.
Aanenson: Right.
Undestad: For a 3 car garage.
Aller: Which, I mean that's why the compromise is a good one.
Undestad: Right.
Aller: Even though I think, and the City's position would be clear and this is what we granted.
You provided something that wasn't and you shouldn't be able to rely or hold us to the fire for
something additional at this point. I think that's happened before in the City and the City has
prevailed so, I think the potential to compromise is better for the.
Hokkanen: For everybody, right. And the homeowner.
Aller: And certainly for the homeowner who came in and.
Hokkanen: And the neighborhood.
Aller: Had no idea what was going on.
Hokkanen: Right.
Aller: Any further discussion? Comments.
Yusuf. I have a question for city staff. Is hardcover just straight up hardcover all the time or do
you guys have calculations that you may adjust depending on what materials you use?
Aanenson: Typically it's anything is a hard cover. The only exception would be if someone was
to put a deck on that's not sitting on the ground. We don't count that as, so this property has
exhausted any other future outdoor sort of thing and I guess that's kind of why when it went
through is kind of looked at for the 2 stalls so we could use some, you know so.
Aller: Yeah we would have to remove, for instance we could take away the sidewalk and put a
driveway in but there would be a trade-off.
Aanenson: Right. Right.
31
Chanhassen Planning Commission — August 19, 2014
Aller: And that's really not a good use of the property.
Aanenson: Those are kind of the practical difficulties. I think in looking at this permit originally
came in with a patio and I believe it was switched to a deck so they could extend that so it'd be
above ground so worked hard on trying to make that reasonable.
Aller: I'll entertain a stab at a motion. Anybody have an idea of what kind of number they want
to put on what I'm hearing?
Undestad: I'll make a run at it here Chair.
Aller: Commissioner Undestad has a motion.
Undestad: I make a motion that staff recommends that the Planning Commission, as the Board
of Appeals and Adjustments approve a variance for an additional 3.2 percent for a total of 34
percent hard surface coverage subject to the five conditions in the staff report, and adopt the
attached Findings of Fact and Decision. And the fifth being a maintenance agreement that runs
with the property.
Hokkanen: Second.
Aller: I have a motion by Commissioner Undestad, a second by Commissioner Hokkanen. Any
further discussion?
Undestad moved, Hokkanen seconded that the Planning Commission acting as the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments approves an additional 3.2 percent hard cover variance to
permit the construction of a driveway to a single family home subject to the following
conditions, and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Decision:
1. The property owner shall submit an as -built survey to ensure additional hard cover does not
exceed 3.2 percent, to a total of 34 percent hard cover.
2. The driveway expansion shall substantially conform to the schematic as shown in the staff
report.
3. Provide mitigation for the increased volume through some type of infiltration practice which
abstracts a volume equal to that volume which runs off the area of impervious that are over
the allowed 25 percent (i.e. rain garden), or use an alternate pervious surface for the
construction of the driveway.
4. The applicant apply for a zoning permit for the driveway expansion and rain garden.
5. A maintenance agreement shall run with the property.
Ali voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 7 to 0.
Aller: Motioncarries. I think that's a good result.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
IN RE:
Application of Christopher and Barbara King for a hardcover variance for a single-family home
and driveway on property zoned single-family residential (RSF) — Planning Case #2014-21.
On August 19,2014 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
I . The property is currently zoned single-family residential.
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for residential low density
use.
3. The legal description of the property is Lots 998, 999 and 1000, Carver Beach.
4. Variance FindingE — 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 construction and use of a two-story, single-family home within the
building envelope is a normal use of the property in a residential district, which is in
harmony with the general purposes and intent of the RSF district. Providing adequate
driveway access to the garage on site is a standard accessory use for the property and is
required under the city code. The subject site is located within the Carver Beach
subdivision, which was platted in 1927. Carver Beach is zoned SingJe-Family
Residential (RSF) and is comprised of several non -conforming residential lots which
predate the adoption of the zoning 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 pen-nitted by this
SCANNED
A*
Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems.
Finding: The lot size creates practical difficulties in constructing a single-family home.
The site has 60 feet by 100 feet lot dimensions, 6,000 square feet in total. The lot is zoned
Single -Family Residential and has a 25 percent hardcover limitation that leaves the
property with only 1500 square feet available for hardcover surface. In order to meet the
minimum code requirements for reasonable driveway access to the garage, a variance is
necessary.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based on economic considerations alone.
The applicant constructed a single-family home on a non -conforming lot of record in a
residential zoning district and is trying to provide adequate access to the garage.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The lot size creates a unique circumstance in constructing a single-family
home with an adequate driveway to the garage. The proposed total impervious surface is
less than most new single-family homes being constructed in the city.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality (similar home
sizes).
Finding: The homes located on either side of the home are both one-story homes with
1646 square feet and 1144 square feet of habitable living area. Another home located
adjacent to the northeast of this lot is a one -and -a -half story home with 1704 square feet
of habitable living area. Granting the proposed variance request will not alter the essential
character of the locality or Carver Beach neighborhood, a residential district.
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 #2014-21, dated August 19, 2014, prepared by Kate Aanenson, et al, is
incorporated herein.

DECISION
The Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves an additional 3.2 percent hardcover
variance (34% total hardcover) to permit the construction of a driveway.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments this 19' day of

the conditions of the staff report and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Decision."
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a
variance from Section 20-614 (4) of the Chanhassen City
Code to construct additional hard surface for a driveway

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 relief in the form of a hardcover variance from the zoning ordinance
to complete the driveway on the lot. Staff is recommending approval of the hardcover variance
subject to the conditions of the report.

Section 20-615 (4), permits a maximum lot coverage of 25 percent
BACKGROUND
The property is located in Carver Beach and consists of three lots, which are each 20 feet wide by
100 feet deep. The subject property is 6,000 square feet in area. It is 60 feet in width (90 feet
required) and 100 feet in depth (125 feet required). No variance is required for development on
platted lots provided they comply with the ordinance.
On July 16,2013, the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Adjustment, approved the
following variance: a 5.8 percent variance (30.8 % hardcover),from the 25 percent hardcover
limitationfor the Single -Family Residential District (RSF). This action was appealed to the city
Council. On August 12, 2013 the City Council approved a variancefor hard cover of 5.8
percent to allowfor a hard cover of 30.8% with thefollohing conditions ofapproval.-
1. The builder shall provide a tree survey as part of the building permit process. The builder
shall try to preserve the trees at the perimeter of the property.
2. The building shall be limited to the split level or two-story house design.
3. The builder shall apply for a building permit and meet all requirements of said permit.
The variance was based on the following house plan. The proposed house plan was shown as 34

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting to increase the footprint of their driveway at 960 Carver Beach Road.
The property was developed in 2013 after a variance was granted allowing a 5.8% variance from
the allotted hardcover on a single-family residential property. This variance was granted based
upon the need to meet minimum requirements, including a minimum living space of 1,050
square feet (the current house footprint is 1,292 square feet) and a two -stall garage (the current
garage has three stalls at approximately 28 feet by 20 feet). The applicant already exceeded the
minimum requirements when building on the site.
The home was approved for a building permit meeting the required setbacks and the hard surface
requirements. The constructed home is 37 feet by 39 feet (including the garage). The driveway
was tapered down to 10 feet at the property line. A minimal driveway apron was placed atthe
entrance to the garage, making it impractical to enter the third stall on the pavement. Staff has
received complaints from the neighbors about parking cars on Carver Beach Road.

DRAINAGE
Carver Beach is marked by the absence of an adequate storm sewer system and little to no storm
water treatment. This area drains to what is referred to as the West Central Lotus Lake Drainage
area. This is a 330 -acre watershed that drains through a narrow channel between Bighorn Drive
and Big Woods Boulevard. This channel is known to have capacity issues and is subject to side
cutting and incision as a result of the volume of water and flashiness that occurs to flows within
this channel.
This is resulting in property damage and sediment deposition into Lotus Lake. In addition, the
storm sewer at Kerber Boulevard experiences surcharge conditions. In 2007, the City initiated a
study to look at potential solutions to this drainage and flooding problem. In 2008, the City
undertook a significant drainage improvement project. This was the first phase of a three-phase
urhiie the systm worked er desi
Y
and significantly improved the drainage
condition, the system was still overwhelmed

by Carver Beach Road and at Kerber Boulevard shown in the pictures on the preceding page.
There are additional issues directly attributable to runoff within this watershed including erosion
at Penamint Lane, flooding at Pontiac Circle and sinkhole formation in Meadow Green Park.
The applicant's property is in the northwest comer of LL 48.
Figure 4. Location of known issues related to excess rate and volume within the WCLL Watershed
The applicant has already been granted a variance from the hardcover ordinance to construct
their home. The home that has been constructed exceeds the minimurn requirements for a single-
family residential home (1,050 square feet and a two -stall garage). This home is in a drainage
area which feeds Lotus Lake and is known to have several flooding and rate control issues
directly attributable to runoff. For these reasons, the Water Resources Coordinator would
recommend denial of the variance request unless the applicant can mitigate for the increased
volume through some type of infiltration practice which abstracts a volume equal to that volume
which runs off the area of impervious they are over the allowed 25% (i.e. rain garden), or they
use an alternate pervious surface for the construction of the driveway.

111 L, IJ 3
Application of Christopher and Barbara King for a hardcover variance for a single-family home
and driveway on property zoned single-family residential (RSF) — Planning Case #2014-21.
On August 19,2014 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.
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for residential low density
use.
3. The legal description of the property is Lots 998, 999 and 1000, Carver Beach.
4. Variance Findinas — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the

property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manncr not permitted by this
0
Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems.
Finding: The lot size creates practical difficulties in constructing a single-family home.
The site has 60 feet by 100 feet lot dimensions, 6,000 square feet in total. The lot is zoned
Single -Family Residential and has a 25 percent hardcover limitation that leaves the
property with only 1500 square feet available for hardcover surface. In order to meet the
minummi code requirements for reasonable driveway access to the garage, a variance is
necessary.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based on economic considerations alone.
The applicant constructed a single-family home on a non -conforming lot of record in a

d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The lot size creates a unique circumstance in constructing a single-family

Planning Commission
City of Chanhassen
7700 Market Boulevard
Chanhassen. MN 55317
Planning Division:
We are writing to you in regards to our property located at 960 Carver Beach Road. Our family
recently relocated to the city of Chanhassen from Brooklyn Park in order to live closer to our places
of employment and also to provide a better quality of life for our three children. We were able to
find a vacant lot that was for sale and although the size was small we really wanted to live in
Chanhassen so we purchased it. We have since built our home and are loving the area. One
thing that we are struggling with is that we are not able to fully use our garage due to the
impervious surface allotment that was given to our plot of land. The third stall is impossible to get
into without driving on the grass and even the two stall side is difficult to enter without taking much
precaution to avoid hitting the other car or the side of the garage.
Although all of our neighbors that we have spoken to have been very respectful and kind, they
have let us know their concerns about our driveway. One concern mentioned has to do with
safety. Currently we have been parking one vehicle on the street due to the lack of functionality of
our driveway. This creates problems for passing traffic that we would like to avoid. We are also
concerned about the winter when we are no longer allowed to park on the street. Todd Gerhardt,
City Manger, has been out to the property and has been witness to the safety concerns. He is on
board with increasing the size of the driveway.
We are applying for a variance to the hardcover surface area so that we may use all stalls of our
garage without difficulty. Our hardcover is currently at 30.7% and we are requesting to increase
this to 34%. On February 12, 2001, Anita Benson (the owner at that time) was approved for a
variance that allowed 36% hardcover but this expired since it was not done within the year. We
are only asking for 34%. We feel that this is reasonable because it not only addresses the
functionality of the driveway but also the aesthetics and safety.
Regards,
110,
Chris and Barb King

Subject: Public Hearing
Date: Aug 7,2014 5:05 PM
Kate, this response is in regards to Planning Case 2014-21.
I live at 6771 Penamint Lane which my driveway is immediately across from the
King's residence at 960 Carver Beach
Road. I will be out of town for two weeks starting August 14th or I would attend
your meeting of August 19th. I do
100% support the request for a variance to exceed the impervious surface
limitation inorder to increase the size of
the existing driveway for the following reason's.
1. It causes a major traffic hazard in it's present form, due to resident's
need to park a car on Carver Beach
Road, due to size of existing driveway.
2. The present driveway appearance is downgrading to existing neighbor's home
property value's.
3. Carver Beach Road has heavy car volume and with the only sidewalk along C.B.
Road being on the south side
of the road, Families with small children are alway's crossing across to go
to Carver Beach Park. Any type
of obstruction on the road such as a vehicle may contribute to a unnecessary
incident.
4. We all know the City changed this lot from Unbuildable to Buildable and knew
this was a Substandard size
lot, which was sold to a Realtor, who sold to a builder, who sold to the
Kings..This family with 3 small
children, will be a great asset to the Chanhassen Community and as any
family with children have a need
for a normal size driveway as all of us do.
I appreciate your attention to my letter and hope that you can pass on my
positive vote for this variance to the
Planning Commission.
Thanks in advance.
