On November 5, 2013, 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 use. 3. The legal description of the property is Lots 2013 through 2020 and Lots 2051 through 2054, Carver Beach, according to the recorded plat thereof, Carver County, Minnesota. 4. Variance Findinys — 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 of an accessory structure would be in harmony with the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan. However, the construction of the accessory structure closer to the front property line would not be consistent with the zoning ordinance nor the comprehensive plan. The placement of a structure closer to the front property line than permitted by code creates a sense of crowding on the public right-of- way. The applicant could construct a smaller detached garage that complies with city code. Additionally, shortening the driveway would reduce the amount of off-street parking for the property and place parked vehicles closer to the street. 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 SCANNED 0 4 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: There are no practical difficulties. The property owner does not propose to use the property in a reasonable manner. Placement of the accessory structure closer to the public right-of-way would create a sense of crowding on the public right-of-way and would shorten the driveway, reducing the amount of off-street parking. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: While the construction of an accessory structure would increase the value of the property, a second garage for storage is the primary consideration. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: There is nothing unique about the property that creates the need for a variance. While the property is shorter in depth in this location than the standard lot within Carver Beach (73.95 feet vs. 100 feet), the applicant could still construct a detached garage that complies with city ordinance. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: This variance would permit construction of a structure closer to the property line than permitted for the majority of new construction in this area. The garage would tend to crowd the public street and not provide the off-street parking relief which the applicant wants. f Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Nfinnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter. Finding: While the structure would be built into the hill, this criterion does not apply. 5. The planning report #2013-22, dated November 5, 2013, prepared by Robert Generous, et al, is incorporated herein. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the front yard variance request to construct a detached garage 18 feet from the front property line. ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments this 5th day of November, 2013. MY OF CHANHASSEN BY - C an g:\plan\2013 planning cas�\2013-22 6780 lotus trail varianc6findings of fact & decision setbwk var.doc Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 5, 2013 something. They've come and asked for permission. They've gotten it granted and then they decide not to do it so again anything we do today is advisory. The City Council's going to make that decision. They're going to take a look at the costs. The expense as they move forward which is why they haven't done it in the past in my estimation so. Hokkanen: Okay. Aller: Comments. Yusuf-. No ftirther questions Aller: Yeah, I agree with the comments. I think it's important that we take a look at the parking situation. Whether or not there's a permit scenario or a special permit for purposes of ftmerals or for those holidays like Memorial Day or Veterans Day where people will be visiting those graves. The buffer aspect again, I think the City's been a good neighbor since the cemetery was there to begin with, has been a good neighbor in allowing what has been termed as a buffer to remain. Basically it's trees. There is no buffer requirement so when I look at it I say well by leaving it there they've allowed for a cloaking of the cemetery on those sides and there certainly is nothing to stop anyone on the northeast or south from putting up their own barriers and putting up their own trees. Putting up their own fences if they are at the right height and all those requirements but there's nothing to stop them from creating their own barriers and creating their own buffer on their own property so I would encourage, and my comments would follow along with the report. I would encourage them to continue in that vein. To work with them to truly create a buffer to the extent that it doesn't require the City not to do and not to fully utilize it's property. Audience: Can I inte�ect sornething?. I could not put up my own buffer on the south side. That's not mine. I don't own the property on the other side of the street. That's the cemetery's so I'm sorry to interrupt. Aller: No that's fine. I mean what we want to do is have a conversation so that the City Council will get the information it needs to make an appropriate decision. Okay, so with those comments we'll ask that those comments be passed along to the City Council. Aanenson: That's correct and then just again a reminder. This is currently scheduled to go to the City Council on November 25d. We do not send a notice out again but if you want to check the City's web pages with any updates then we'll certainly have those in the project file. Aller: Correct and there'll be an updated package for the City Council people to look at so. Aanenson: That's correct. Aller: Any of those nurnbers or things that are provided will be on the website. Okay, let's move along to item number 2. Commissioner Withrow returned to the commission for the rest of the agenda. PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE: REOUEST FOR A VARIANCE FROM SECTION 20-615 OF THE CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO CONSTRUCT A DETACHED GARAGE ON PROPERTY ZONED RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMELY (RSF) AND LOCATED AT 6780 LOTUS TRAIL. I I SCM04ED 0 0 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 5, 2013 APPLICANT: PETER ROCHFORD/ILISA THOMPSON. OWNER: LISA THOMPSON, PLANNING CASE 2013-22. Generous: Thank you Chairman Aller, commissioners. Planning Case 2013-22, Peter Rocheford and Lisa Thompson. They're requesting a setback variance for the construction of a detached garage on their property. It's a 12 foot variance from the 30 foot front yard setback requirement to construct a 27 by 24 foot, 648 square foot detached garage 18 feet from the front property line. The property's located at 6780 Lotus Trail. It's in the Carver Beach neighborhood which is made up of multiple platted lots. This property came in last year for a variance request to construct a second driveway to the property. It's rather steep on the existing driveway up to the house and they were having problems with people parking there and so they wanted to have a safer location for people to park so they did get the variance and they installed a gravel cut right now. hi the future when they were going to build the garage then they would have to improve that to either concrete or pavement. The proposal is to construct this garage on the southern part of their property 18 feet from the south property line and 18 feet from the street right-of- way. This would give them a 30 foot setback on the rear of the property. However city code permits an exception for construction of accessory structures if they're less than 399 square feet. Then they would be able to have a 10 foot rear yard setback. That would give them approximately a 34 foot building envelope and still meet the 30 foot front yard setback. We believe that they have the opportunity to construct this accessory structure without having a variance approved for their property. They could, like I stated, they could construct a smaller accessory garage on the property eliminating the variance. If they did receive the variance they would be shortening the parking area that they would have within their driveway to park vehicles that was part of the reason that they came in for the variance last year. And additionally they do have an existing garage on site so this would be for additional storage for the property. 400 square foot building provides adequate space for that. Staff is recommending that the Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the variance request for the setback and adopt the Findings of Fact and Decision in the packet. With that I'd be happy to answer any questions. Aller: Can you just refresh our memories, if you can, on the first variance. The reasoning for that. If I remember it was a safety situation with cars and parking. Generous: Yes, they were saying because of the steepness of this driveway, people were sliding down that in the wintertime and so they were looking to provide a secondary driveway that didn't have quite the slope in it and with the approval of the second driveway they were able to do something, I think it was 9% but then it dropped down to 4%. The way he's actually constructed it, it's almost level with the street right-of-way because he dug into the hill and his proposal for the detached structure would be to have an in -ground building. Aller: So they continue to dig in. Generous: Yeah. Continue to dig in. The back wall would be the retaining wall and the side walls and then the hill would come down on the side of the garage. However by shortening that he loses a lot of that parking space and so we believe by granting a variance he then encroaches his parking area into the city right-of-way and losing at least 2 parking spaces. Aller: And then he's also requesting a garage rooftop? Generous: Well they would put, as part of their construction plan they're showing a flat roof and on top of that they would put a deck area that they could, that they would use as a deck. Aller: And that deck would need a variance typically? 12 Chanhassen Planning Cornmission — November 5, 2013 Generous: No because the structure itself would be receiving the variance so it would be in conjunction with that. Allcr: So he would piggyback then onto the variance that would be granted, if flie request is granted. Generous: Yes. They are getting additional relief from the City Code to have a deck. Aller: Because if it was a stand alone deck it would need a variance to be there. Generous: Right, because they'd have to have a 25 foot setback so they're receiving a 7 foot variance in essence. Aller: And the present garage, how large is that? Generous: I believe it's a 2 car but I don't know the dimensions. Allen Okay. And the community, are they typically one car, two car, three car garages? Generous: They're all over the place. This is Carver Beach. Some don't even have garages. Aller: Any other questions of staff? Yusuf. This one seems pretty straight forward. Withrow: Can you point out where the garage typically is to go? Generous: It would be on the southern part of the property. Withrow: Oh so it's quite a ways from the. Aanenson: From the driveway. Generous: Yeah, here's the existing driveway. If you've been out there the curb, the cut that he's created currently starts about at the comer of this catch basin and then comes back in and then comes over this way so they would be shifting it down further to the south. And they're showing it at 18 feet from the south property line. A side setback is 10 feet, Withrow: In terms of the traffic driving through. I mean that's right on the street kind of isn't it? Is that an issue? Generous: Carver Beach is a local street so I don't know if there's really a lot of traffic down there. Withrow: No, okay. Generous: But the City does have a park across the street from this so you get some outside traffic. Withrow: Nothing else. Allen Anything else? Alright. Would the applicant like to step forward and make a presentation of any sort? Is the applicant present? 13 0 0 Chanhassen Planning Commission — November 5, 2013 Generous: I don't see him Aller: Okay. Then what I'll do is open the public hearing. If any individual present would like to speak either for or against the requested variance, come forward. State your name and address and let us know what you think. German Sugura: My name is German Sugura and I live at 750 Carver Beach Road. Aller: Welcome. GermanSugura: And I'm opposed to it. One of the reasons being is because my property is the one that is being directly, they have impact. I purchase this property 12 years ago. I close the day after 9-11 and soitwasabigdayforeverybody. I didn't think I was going to close. That was September. Imovea month later to this place and when the leaves started falling from the trees this amazing view just open up. I can see downtown Minneapolis from my house. Well in the last 2 years there's been a lot of changes. There's been trees coming left and right and even in my property. Well where they are proposing, where they put that driveway, I didn't even know because I was out of town. There was one tree that they ... that they cut down. I don't know if it was before or after. That tree disappeared. Aller: And I guess my question is with the cutting of trees. German Sugura: He's talking on his property. Aller: It's on this, on your property or this property? German Sugura: On his property. Aller: Oh okay, thank you, German Sugura: There's one but there's going to be more trees that have to be cut down and they are big trees so although I love the view, because it is unbelievable but also the trees kind of keep the noise away in the summertime and it's, they are just gone. There are trees gone everywhere. These property has changed in the last 2 years and this is going to effect me more too so I'm then, most people, I'm about this property because I live on a cliff so I get to see everything that happens right there. I love my privacy so more is less room. Aller: Okay, thank you. German Sugura: So thank you Aller: Anyone else wishing to speak for or against? Seeing no one come forward I'll close the public hearing. Open it for comment. Discussion. Anyone? I think die report is a good report. I concur with the findings. I will note that we did receive an email dated November 4, 2013 at 11: 17 a.m. which has been read and will become part of the record and that was objecting to the grant as well. And that will be on the website in the future and this item will be before the City Council on November 25th. Aanenson: If it's appealed. Aller: If it is appealed. So I guess the question becomes, how do you feel about it? 14 Chanhassen Planning Commission November 5, 2013 Weick: I don't think it meets any of the variance, if you look at any of the bullet points. Stipulations of a variance. I couldn't find one that it met in my opinion so. Yusufi It seems as though the City has done a fairjob of assessing all the criteria and even offering options that would meet the City's regulations. Aller: I would again state that I think it's important to note that there has been an indication that the desired end can be met without the need for a variance. Weick: Absolutely. Allen So I'll entertain a motion if anyone would like to make one. Hokkanen: I'll propose a motion. The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the variance request to construct a 27 foot by 24 foot detached accessory structure 18 feet from the front property line and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision. Aller: I have a motion. Any discussion? Do I have a second? Yusuf. Second. Allen Now any discussion. Hearing none. Hokkanen moved, Yusuf seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the variance request to construct a 27 foot by 24 foot detached accessory structure 18 feet from the front property line and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0. Aller: The requested variance is denied. All interested parties are reminded that a variance decision must be appealed in writing and that must be done in a short timefirame. Typically 4 days. Moving forward. DEVELOPMENT PERIMETER SETBACK STANDARDS TO CONSTRUCT A THREE -UNIT TOWNHOME ON PR PERTY ZONED PLANNED uNYr DEVELOPMENT -RESIDENTIAL (PUD -R) AND LOCATED ON LOTS 1. 2 AND 3. BLOCK 1. LAKESIDE SECOND ADDITION. APPLICANT: JOHN ARTHUR HOMES. OWNER: LAND HOLD CO., INC., PLANNING CASE 2013-21. Generous: Thank you Mr. Chairman, commissioners. Planning Case 2013-21, John Arthur Homes is requesting a variance for the Lakeside Development from the eastern perimeter setback requirement. The request, specific request is a 5.7 foot variance from the 50 foot perimeter setback requirement for a main floor cantilever to construct a building at 44.3 feet from the perimeter property line. The location of this development is 8711, 8719 and 8727 Lake Riley Drive. It's within Lakeside Second Addition. These are actually the last housing sites on the east side of this development. The PUD standards permits the, all the twinhomes that are south of this to be within 30 feet of the property line. However because this is a 3 unit structure there's a 50 foot requirement. These design standards were originally adopted when the PUD standards specified a 50 foot perimeter setback for any type of planned unit development, no matter what the development was nor what the adjacent properties were. Since that time the City has amended the PUD standards to permit the setback requirements to be determined as a fianction of the proposed development and in the interim the PUD standards for this were amended several times to change the 15 PROPOSED MOTION: "The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the variance request to construct a 27 - foot by 24 -foot (648 square -feet) detached accessory structure 18 feet from the front property line, and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision." SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The developer is requesting a variance from Section 20-615 of the Chanhassen City Code to construct a detached garage 18 feet from the front property line. LOCATION: 6780 Lotus Trail (PID 251601641) &44 APPLICANT: Lisa Thompson Peter Rocheford 6780 Lotus Trail Chanhassen, MN 55317 PRESENT ZONING: Single -Family Residential (RSF) 2020 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density ACREAGE: 0.46 acres DENSITY: NA LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAJONG: 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 heating has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a 12 -foot variance from the 30 -foot front yard setback requirement to construct a 27 -foot by 24 -foot (648 square feet) detached garage 18 feet from the front property line. The applicant currently has an attached garage. SCANNED 0 0 Planning Commission 6780 Lotus Trail Variance — Planning Case 2013-022 November 5, 2013 Page 2 of 5 The property slopes up from a low of 932 along Lotus Trail in the northeast comer of the house to a height of 946 at the south side of the house. The entire property then continues up a steep hill to a height of 988 at Carver Beach Road. The street elevation where the second driveway enters the property is at an elevation of 936 and rises to an elevation of 952 on the rear property line. While the applicant would prefer to shift the driveway south to locate the garage 18 feet from the south property line, they are willing to maintain the existing second driveway location, which is located north of the proposed location shown on the plan. Alternately, W. Rocheford has stated that he would be willing to plant some trees to replace those removed. While the Carver Beach area has many nonconforming lots and setbacks, the approval of a variance to permit a substandard front yard setback would only add to a proliferation of such issues in this area. The applicant has an opportunity to construct a detached garage on the property without requiring a variance. Staff is recommending denial of the variance request. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 20, Article 11, Division 3, Variances. Chapter 20, Article XH, "RSF" Single -Family Residential District, section 20-615, Lot requirements and setbacks. Chapter 20, Article XXIIII, General Supplemental Regulations, section 20-904, Accessory structures, and section 20-908, Yard regulations. BACKGROUND On May 15, 2012, The Chanhassen Planning Commission, as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, approved Planning Case #2012-05 for a variance to construct a second driveway to a proposed accessory structure on property zoned Single Family Residential (RSF). The variance is subject to the following conditions: Planning Commission 6780 Lotus Trail Variance — Planning Case 2013-022 November 5, 2013 Page 3 of 5 1. The applicant must obtain a driveway permit and install any necessary erosion control measures prior to proceeding with the driveway installation. 2. Tree protection fencing as approved by the City Forester must be installed around the trees within the right-of-way. No further trees shall be removed with the right-of-way. Demonstrate the recording of the three PIDs (25-1601640, 25-1601580 and 25-1601590) into one zomng lot 4. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the garage, the applicant must demonstrate that it meets the standards of the Residential Single Family zoning district. At the time of the variance approval for the second driveway, the applicant was advised that they would need to meet the 3 O -foot front and rear yard setback and a I 0 -foot side yard setback. In receiving the variance for the second driveway, the applicant argued that there was a safety issue with vehicles parking on the steep driveway. However, by requesting a variance to construct the detached garage 18 feet from the front property line, the applicant is shortening the parking area for said vehicles by one car length. It should be noted that driveways must be constructed of an improved surface (asphalt, concrete or equivalent material). Gravel is not considered an improved surface. The applicant provided information that in 1983 the property to the north received a 13 -foot variance to construct a garage 17 feet from the front property line and an 8.75 -foot side yard setback variance to construct the garage 1.25 feet from the side property line. It should be noted that that variance was approved to complete the construction of an unfinished, unroofed, existing garage/parking area, the walls of which were deteriorating. Additionally, the house to the north did not have an attached garage. The majority of construction in this area complies with setback requirements. ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing to construct a 27 -foot by 24 -foot (648 square feet) detached garage on the property. This is in addition to an existing attached garage. City Code, section 20-904 (1) b. would permit the applicant to construct up to a 399 -square foot accessory structure within 10 feet of the rear property line, eliminating the need for a variance. Additionally, the applicant is proposing the construction of a roof deck on top of the garage. Section 20-908 permits decks 25 feet from the front property line. The applicant gains seven feet of encroachment into the required front setback for the deck area as part of this application. The proposed garage will be built into the side of the hill on the property. The construction plans show that draintile will be installed behind the garage to collect water. The location of the draintile and the draintile outlet must be shown in a plan view of the proposed garage along with the proposed grading. Planning Commission 6780 Lotus Trail Variance – Planning Case 2013-022 November 5, 2013 Page 4 of 5 As part of the building permit process, the applicant must submit the following: 1. The plan view sheet must show the location and outlet of the draintile around the garage. 2. A survey of the lot upon which the proposed building or construction is to be done, prepared and attested by a registered surveyor. An original signature is required on the certificate of survey. The survey shall provide the following: • Scale of drawing and north arrow; • Legal description of property; • Dimensions and bearing of front, rear and side property lines; • Front, rear and side yard setback dimensions of all proposed structures; • Location of all existing structures on the property, boulevards, streets and right-of- way, including but not limited to sanitary and storm manholes, hydrants, catch basins, power poles, phone boxes, fences and any encroachments; • Outside dimensions of proposed structure(s) including decks, porches, retaining walls (include elevations at bottom of footing and top of wall), stoops, stairs, cantilevers, fireplaces, bay and bow windows, egress window wells; • Location of a benchmark stake established by the surveyor at the front setback line within 20 feet of the proposed structure. Maintenance of the benchmark stake once established by the surveyor shall be the responsibility of the permit applicant; • Existing and proposed elevations at the following locations: a. Each lot comer. b. Top of curb or centerline of roadway at each lot line extension. c. Center of proposed driveway at curb. d. Grade at comers of proposed structure. e. Lowest floor level, top of block, garage slab. • Indication of direction of surface water drainage by arrows and impervious surface calculations for the lot or parcel; • Driveway grade (minimum -0.50 percent, maximum— 10 percent); and • Location and type of erosion and sediment control measures to be installed by permit holder. The applicant has provided a lot survey showing the proposed garage placement as well as existing trees on site. Upon inspection of the property, it was found that the grouping of 5 trees to the north of the garage shown on the survey has already been removed and a graveled parking area installed. With the construction of the proposed garage, the property owner would be removing the remaining trees located in the front yard. Staff recommends that if the variance is approved, the garage should be located in the existing parking area and the trees currently on site be preserved. If the applicant is allowed to build the garage in the proposed location, staff recommends that the applicant be required to plant 5 trees in the front yard. Planning Commission 6780 Lotus Trail Variance — Planning Case 2013-022 November 5, 2013 Page 5 of 5 It is reasonable for the applicant to want to construct an accessory structure on the property. However, a smaller accessory structure can be constructed that would comply with city ordinance and that would not encroach upon the public right-of-way. While the city is aware that there are many nonconfomung properties within the Carver Beach area, new construction activity has, generally, complied with city code. It is not in the long-term interest of the city to permit the downward deviation in city standards when acceptable alternatives are available. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the variance and adopt the attached Findings of Fact and Decision. ATTACHMENTS 1. Findings of Fact and Decision. 2.

On November 5, 2013, 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 use. 3. The legal description of the property is Lots 2013 through 2020 and Lots 2051 through 2054, Carver Beach, according to the recorded plat thereof, Carver County, Minnesota. 4. Variance Findings — Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: The construction of an accessory structure would be in harmony with the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan. However, the construction of the accessory structure closer to the front property line would not be consistent with the zoning ordinance nor the comprehensive plan. The placement of a structure closer to the front property line than permitted by code creates a sense of crowding on the public right-of- way. The applicant could construct a smaller detached garage that complies with city code. Additionally, shortening the driveway would reduce the amount of off-street parking for the property and place parked vehicles closer to the street. 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 0 0 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: There are no practical difficulties. The property owner does not propose to use the property in a reasonable manner. Placement of the accessory structure closer to the public right-of-way would create a sense of crowding on the public right-of-way and would shorten the driveway, reducing the amount of off-street parking - c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: While the construction of an accessory structure would increase the value of the property, a second garage for storage is the primary consideration. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: There is nothing unique about the property that creates the need for a variance. While the property is shorter in depth in this location than the standard lot within Carver Beach (73.95 feet vs. 100 feet), the applicant could still construct a detached garage that complies with city ordinance. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: This variance would permit construction of a structure closer to the property line than permitted for the majority of new construction in this area. The garage would tend to crowd the public street and not provide the off-street parking relief which the applicant wants. 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: While the structure would be built into the hill, this criterion does not apply. 5. The planning report #2013-22, dated November 5, 2013, prepared by Robert Generous, et al, is incorporated herein. 2 0 DECISION The Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the front yard variance request to construct a detached garage 18 feet from the front property line. ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments this 5th day of November, 2013.

Signature of Applicant Date /jz� �' /0/y In SigkatA'ofTee w 0 p4r Ddte gAp1=\foms\deve1opment review applimitionAm SCANNED 0 0 October 1, 2013 We are requesting a variance for the front yard setback for our proposed garage since the requested size will not fit on our property due to the front and rear yard setbacks. Both are 30' and our lot is only 75' deep. We are reguesting a front yard setback of 18'to accommodate a garage of 27'x 24'. Thank you, Lisa and Pete May 1, 2012 I am requesting a variance on my property to add a driveway and garage. BACKGROUND I have 2 parcels of property with 3 PID numbers and I have completed the required forms with Carver County to have the parcels combined into one parcel with one PID number. This will be completed in November according to the County. My property does have a driveway but it is very steep, so steep that it is non conforming with the current slope requirements in the city code. In the winter, vehicles cannot be parked on the driveway because they can and have slid down off the driveway onto Lotus Trail. It is a real safety issue for my guests and visitors. Expanding the existing driveway into the adjacent is impractical because the surrounding area also too steep and hilly and would be extremely expensive to do. The area where I want to have an additional driveway and garage has very little slope and would be in harmony with the lots on either side next to my property and would not alter the essential character of the area. The new driveway would be 24 feet wide and 40 feet long from the edge of the street. The slope of the driveway would be less than 8%. The garage footprint would be 27 feet by 24 feet. This is an additional 1,635 of hardcover. Our total hardcover would then be 4,023 sq. ft. Our max hardcover allowable is 4,964. It should be noted that in our neighborhood there are homes that have 2 driveways, graveled traffic areas in the right of way and blacktopped parking areas in front of their homes in the right of way. 0 October 1, 2012 Board of Appeals and Adjustments; My name is Stan Cronister and I reside 6730 Lotus Trail, next door to Lisa and Pete on the Icil5c 0 1 i) I north side. In February of 1983, 1 received approval from the Board of Appeals and Adjustments and the City Council on my January of 1983 request for a variance for setback requirements for the construction of a garage on my property. The setbacks that were approved included an 8.75 foot side yard setback and an 18 foot front yard and 2 foot accessory structure setback. I fully support Lisa and Pete's request for an 18 front yard setback. They will be building a very attractive garage that will have the same front yard setback as mine. It will improve the lot, alleviate parking issues and will add more value.to the area. Kindly, Stanley 4Rroniste'r 0 0 STANLEY R.

I have what I feel is a parking area at this location. The building official from the City has indicated that he feels this structure constitutes a garage. At this time a back wall of this structure is caving in and I would like to take steps to alleviate the concern of my neighbors and the City of Chanhassen. I would also like a building permit to complete a garage at this location. I need a variance for the construction as this is the only possible area I have for off road parking. I have received permission from my neighbors, the Oiens, to have a garage wall as close as 61' to their property Lot #2013 (see enclosed). The garage will be on my Lot 2012. My contrac- tor, Design Concept Construction Limited of Excelsior will be forwarding to you plans for the above mentioned garage. I travel a great deal but I would be available to meet with the Board on February 3rd in the evening, or February 4th or February 7th. Thank you for your reviewing of this matter.
