Commissioners, Council Members, et al
On behalf of Homeowners John & Cindy Hart, 951 Homestead Lane, I would like to submit
this letter along with visual documentation in support of granting a variance for this property.
When John & Cindy purchased their land in 1987 and built the existing home in 1998, there
were NO covenants in this neighborhood. In fact, this was one of many reasons why they
purchased this particular parcel. Now 20 years later the City ofChanhassen has modified it's
ordinance, for reasons that should not affect the Harts.
Having planned this project for several years, John & Cindy are now in the position to
finance it. As you can see from the enclosed, they have no intention of creating a pole barn
from which they could conduct business or agricultural use. Actually, it's just the opposite.
They will soon be empty nesters, approaching retirement and are looking for additional space
for their numerous hobbies and storage of their children's possessions while they are away at
college and/or traversing the revolving door as they transition to independence.
The hardship in this situation is related to the unique fact that the Hart's garage is detached.
Nineteen years ago they chose to build a detached garage for health reasons. If their garage
was attached, this extension would not require a variance, nor would building a second
structure the size of the proposed addition. Failing to grant this variance would be putting
them at an unfair disadvantage relative to residents with attached garages. Granting this
variance, due to the limited generality of the circumstances would not compromise the intent
behind its creation.
Additionally, as you can see from the enclosed photos, how little the impact there will be on
the surrounding area for either those using Homestead Lane, or the neighbors to either side of
the Harts. The color differences shown are only to highlight the addition for your review.
Actual colors will match the existing structure.
Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to your favorable decision.
