P,,PPLICABLE REGULATIONS
[
Section 20-481 requires that structures (including decks) be setback (75) seventy-five feet from
~ecreational development lakes (Attachment 2).
Section 20-72 states that ifa setback ora dwelling is non-conforming, no additions may be added
to the non-conformity side of the building unless the addition meets the setback requirements
(Attachment 3).
!$, ACKGROUND
The subject property is located in Minnewashta Creek First Addition. This planned unit
development was approved in 1978. When the residence was built in 1979, the deck did not
meet the current setback. It was constructed approximately 62 feet from Lake Minnewashta.
According to the surveys, many of the homes on the west side of Lake Minnewashta do meet the
setback. However, variances have been granted to the 75 foot shoreland setback.
~NALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a 13 foot variance to allow for the complete reconstruction of an
existing 12 foot by 22 foot deck and the construction of an additional 4 foot wide walkway. The
applicant believes that this will allow for greater access between two points of the home (the
k|tchen and the deck). The City Code does not permit the maintenance or repair of an non-
conforming structure beyond 50 percent of its estimated value (Section 20-72). If it is repaired
beyond this point it has in effect lost its non-conformity status. Although the walkway will not
protrude fiu-ther into the setback than the existing deck, it will, in essence, create a non-
conforming setback.
The two properties located directly south (6621 and 6641 Minnewashta Pkwy.) are 58 feet and 69
feet, respectively, from the lake. In 1992, the applicant residing at 6641 Minnewashta Pkwy. was
granted a variance to allow an addition to encroach 6 feet into the setback (Variance #92-10).
The staff report stated that the new setback would blend in with the neighborhood. Meanwhile,
the other properties along the west portion of the lake have maintained the 75 foot setback,
according to the surveys. In addition, earlier this year a variance was granted on Lake Lucy to
allow the reconstruction of an existing deck as well as the construction of an additional deck
(Variance #97-7).
Staff is of the opinion that the applicant should be permitted to reconstruct the existing deck.
The additional walkway, which totals approximately 140 square feet, will not create a new
setback on Lake Minnewashta.

FINDINGS
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend and the City Council shall not grant a
variance unless they find the following facts:
a,
b.
d.
eo
That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship. Undue
hardship means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size,
physical surroundings, shape or topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a
majority of comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to
allow a proliferation of variances, but to recognize that there are pre-existing standards in
this neighborhood. Variances that blend with these pre-existing standards without departing
downward from them meet this criteria.
Finding: The applicant has made a reasonable use of this property so the additional
decking is not needed, however, it will make the deck more accessible. This variance will
not allow a proliferation of variances nor will it create a new setback on the west portion of
Lake Mirmewashta.
The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to
other property within the same zoning classification.
Finding: The conditions upon which this variance request is based are not applicable to
most other property in the RSF zoning district. Although the City does have many
lakeshore properties, most properties maintain a 30 foot rear yard setback.
The propose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income
potential of the parcel of land.
Finding: The purpose of this variance is not based upon a desire to increase the value or
income of the property, but to improve the access between the deck and the interior of the
residence.
The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding: The hardship is not self-created. The applicant is merely attempting to connect
the deck with a second entrance.
The ~'anting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
Finding: The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.

The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger
of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood.
Finding: The variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
properties or increase the congestion of the public street. It will not endanger the public
safety or diminish property values in the neighborhood.
.~RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of Adjustments and Appeals adopt the following motion:
"The Board of Adjustments and Appeals approves the request for a 13 foot variance from the 75
shoreland setback for the construction of a deck based upon the findings presented in the staff
report."

City Of Chanhassen
690 Coulter Drive
Chanhassen, MN 55317
September 10, 1997
To The Board Of Adjustments:
We are writing to explain our request for a setback variance for replacing and adding
deck to our home at 6601 Minnewashta Parkway.
It is our understanding from Cynthia Kirchoff that the current setback requirement for
lakeshore is 75 feet. Our home and existing 12 x 22 deck with a 4' walkway to the south
falls within this setback requirement. The home itself is 75' from the shoreline with the
existing deck protruding 12' from that.
We are requesting the variance so that we may fully replace the existing deck and
walkway which must be removed to allow proper residing of our home. The current deck
and walkway is attached directly to the siding rather than a plate as currently required in
code. The addition of the 4' walkway to the north of the existing deck provides a long
desired access to the deck directly from the kitchen. No replacement or addition will
extend closer to the lakeshore than what is currently in place.
We will be in attendance at your meeting on September 23 to answer any questions you
might have.

a. For lakes, by placing the lowest floor at a level at least three (3) feet above the
highest known water level, or three (3) feet above the ordinary high water level,
whichever is higher;
b. For rivers and streams, by placing the lowest floor at least three (3) feet above the
flood of record, if data are available. If data are not available, by placing the
lowest floor at least three (3) feet above the ordinary high water level, or by
conducting a technical evaluation to determine effects of proposed construction
upon flood stages and flood flaws and to establish a flood protection elevation.
Under all three (3) approaches, technical evaluations shall be done by a qualified
engineer or hydrologist consistent with parts 6120.5000 to 6120.6200 governing
the management of flood plain areas. If more than one (1) approach is used, the
highest flood protection elevation determined shall be used for placing structures
and other facilities; and
c. Water-oriented accessory structures may have the lowest floor placed lower than
the elevation determined in this item if the structure is construed of flood-
resistant materials to the elevation, electrical and mechanical equipment is
placed above the elevation and, if long duration flooding is anticipated, the
structure is built to withstand ice action and wind-driven waves and debris.
(2) Water-oriented accessory structures. Each lot may have one (1) water-oriented
accessory structure not meeting the normal structure setback in section 20-481(a) if
this water-oriented accessory structure complies with the following provisions:
a. The structure or facility shall not exceed ten (10) feet in height, exclusive of safety
rails, and cannot occupy an area greater than two hundred fifty (250) square feet.
Detached decks shall not exceed eight (8) feet above grade at any point.

CHANHASSEN CITY CODE
Sec. 20-60. Denial.
Variances may be deemed by the board of adjustments and appeals and the council, and
such denial shall constitute a finding and determination that the conditions required for
approval do not exist.

Secs. 20-61-20-70. Reserved.
DMSION 4. NONCONFORMING USES*
Sec. 20-71. Purpose.
The purpose of this division is:
(1) To recognize the existence of uses, lots, and structures which were lawful when
established, but which no longer meet ali ordinance requirements;
(2) To prevent the enlargement, expansion, intensification, or extension of any noncon-
forming use, building, or structure;
(3) To encourage the elimination of nonconforming uses, lots, and structures or reduce
their impact on adjacent properties.
(Ord. No. 165, § 2, 2-10-92)
Sec. 20.72. Nonconforming uses and structures.
(a) There shall be no expansion, intensification, replacement, structural change, or relo-
cation of any nonconforming use or nonconforming structure except to lessen or eliminate the
nonconformity.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter," any detached single-family
dwelling that is on a nonconforming lot or that is a nonconforming use or structure may be
altered, or expanded provided, however, that the nonconformity may not be increased. If a
setback of a dwelling is nonconforming, no additions may be added to the nonconforming side
of the building unless the addition meets setback requirements.
(c) No nonconforming use shall be resumed if normal operation of the use has been
discontinued for a period of twelve (12) or more months. Time shall be calculated as beginning
on the day following the last day in which the use was in normal operation and shall run
continuously thereafter. Following the expiration of twelve (12) months, only land uses which
axe permitted by this ordinance shall be allowed to be established.
*Editor's note-Section 2 of Ord. No. 165, adopted Feb. 10, 1992, amended Div. 4 in its
entirety to read as set out in §§ 20-71-20-73. Prior to amendment, Div. 4 contained §§
20-71-20-78, which pertained to similar subject matter and derived from Ord. No. 80, Art. III,
§ 5, adopted Dec. 15, 1986; and Ord. No. 163, § 1, adopted Feb. 24, 1992.
Supp. No. 4

ZONING § 2O.73
(d) Full use of a nonconforming land use shall not be resumed if the amount of land or
floor area dedicated to the use is iessened or if the intensity of the use is in any manner
diminished for a period of twelve (12) or more months. Time shall be calculated as beginning
on the day following the last day in which the nonconforming land use was in full operation
and shall run continuously thereafter.. Following the expiration of twelve (12) months, the
nonconforming land use may be used only in the manner or to the extent used during the
preceding twelve (12) months. For the purposes of this section, intensity of use shall be mea-
sured by hours of operation, traffic, noise, exterior storage, signs, odors, number of employees,
and other factors deemed relevant by the city.
(e) Maintenance and repair of nonconforming structures is permitted. Removal or destruc-
tion of a nonconforming structure to the extent of more than fifty (50) percent of its estimated
value, excluding land value and as determined by the city, shall terminate the right to con-
tinue the nonconforming structure.
