Variance narrative Re:Variance request for 840 Carver Beach Road, Chanhassen, MN SS317.
S.We are requesting a variance for our residential homestead property. We are limited to
expanding our home on this distinct spot because of current location on our lot and current layout
of our home. Since moving into this home back in 2020 we need the additional space for a dining
room area upstairs and additional space for an office space in the lower level as we both work from
home for our professions.
6.a-f)The goal is to follow the existing house structure and due to the circumstances unique to our
property-location of the original/existing house and shape the shape of our lot- makes it difficult
to expand the house without requesting a variance. In addition,to best use the current layout of the
home and an expansion we are requestingthe variance. The location of the proposed addition
allows us to expand existing living space upstairs which is now multipurpose versus distinct space
for a dining room and living room without making major modifications to the existing structure of
the home. In addition,the location of proposed addition downstairs allows us to have distinct
space for an office and family room without making major modifications to the existing structure of
the home.
