PC Staff Report 07-19-2011PROPOSED MOTION: "The Chanhassen Planning Commission, as the Board of Appeals
and Adjustments, approves Planning Case #2011 -06 for an accessory structure area variance,
subject to the conditions of the staff report;
and adoption of the Findings of Fact and Decision."
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a 1,304 square -foot variance from the
1,000 square -foot accessory structure area limitation to construct a 2,304 square -foot stable on
property zoned Agricultural Estate (A2).
LOCATION: 10 Pioneer Trail
Lot 3, Block 1, Lake Riley Highlands Addition
APPLICANT: Matt and Sarah Christensen
10 Pioneer Trail
Chanhassen, MN 55317
PRESENT ZONING: Agricultural Estate (A2)
2030 LAND USE PLAN: Residential -Large Lot (2.5 acre minimum, I/ 10 acre outside MUSA)
ACREAGE: 6.63 acres DENSITY: NA
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.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a variance to exceed the 1,000 square -foot maximum area for a detached
accessory structure to construct a 2,304 square -foot horse stable. The Zoning Ordinance limits
detached accessory structures to 1,000 square feet. While the size of the stable exceeds the
maximum square footage by 1,304 square feet, the property is agriculturally zoned and permits
horses and private stables. Limiting the area of the stable to 1,000 square feet for a horse stable is a
practical difficulty, being that the property could, according to City Code, house up to 16 horses.
City Code also requires that horses must be provided shelter of sufficient size to provide necessary
protection and must provide space for the animal to roll. A 1,000 square -foot stable would
minimize the stall and walkway spaces as well as storage area for related supplies.

single - family homes zoned Agricultural Estate (A2), and to the east are single - family homes located
in the City of Eden Prairie.
Water and sewer services are not available to the site until Municipal and Urban Service Area
(MUSA) phasing, scheduled for after the year 2015. Access to the parcel is gained via Pioneer
Trail.
Staff is recommending approval of the variance, subject to the conditions of the staff report.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS

Planning Case 11 -06

Page 3 of 6
BACKGROUND
The property is located on Lot 3, Block 1, Lake Riley Highlands
Addition, which is zoned Agricultural Estate (A2). The subject
property has an area of 288,802 square feet (6.63 acres). It has a lot
frontage of approximately 375 feet along Pioneer Trail; however, the
site narrows as it extends to Lake Riley, with a lake frontage of 133
feet. The depth of the site is greater than 1,412 feet.
Minimum lot area in the A2 district is two and one -half acres with a
minimum lot frontage of 200 feet at the road and 125 feet at the lake.
The subject site exceeds the lot area, width, and depth requirements.
There is a wetland located on the south end of the property near
Pioneer Trail and a bluff located on the north end of the property
behind the house and abutting Lake Riley.
The east property line of the site is the boundary between the City of
Chanhassen and the City of Eden Prairie. The properties to the east of the
subject site, in Eden Prairie, are residential single - family homes. The
City of Eden Prairie has similar ordinances pertaining to agricultural -
zoned lots abutting single - family lots and permitting horses, as well as
similar fence requirements.
Private Stable
City Code permits private stables and horses within the A2 zoning
district. The number of horses permitted is based on the acreage of the
site: a minimum one and one -half acre for two horses, two acres for three
horses and an additional one -third acre for each additional horse. Based
on the size of the subject site (6.63 acres) the property could,
theoretically, contain up to 16 horses.
City Code also requires that horses must be provided shelter of sufficient
size to provide necessary protection and space for the animal to roll.
Limiting the area of the stable to 1,000 square feet for a horse stable is a
practical difficulty, being that the property could, according to City Code,
house up to 16 horses. City Code also requires that horses must be provided
shelter of sufficient size to provide necessary protection and must provide
space for the animal to roll. A 1,000 square -foot stable would minimize the
stall and walkway spaces as well as storage area for related supplies.

City Code requires private stables to meet minimum setback requirements. A private stable may
not be located closer than 100 feet from any neighboring residential dwelling and 200 feet from
any wetland. The 2,304 square -foot stable is proposed to be located east of the driveway and
will meet all required setbacks.
In addition to the stable, the pasture area will be enclosed by a wire fence located approximately
nine inches inside the property line and contains an electrical wire on top to ensure the horses
stay contained within the site. This type of fence is a requirement of Chapter 5. Division 2.
Stable Permits.
Section 20 -904 Accessory Structures
The current zoning ordinance pertaining to the maximum 1,000 square -foot detached accessory
structure was adopted in May of 2007. Prior to that, City Code limited the size of detached
accessory structures to properties zoned Single Family Residential (RSF) and Mixed Low
Density Residential (R4) Districts, but not in the Low and Medium Residential District (RLM);
nor the Agricultural Estate (A2) and Rural Residential (RR) Zoning Districts since they were at
one time related to agricultural uses. While the City's comprehensive plan does not provide for a
purely agricultural land use, it does support the preservation of this use in greater Carver County.
As the City continues to grow, agricultural uses are being replaced by estate homes. In some
cases, contractors were purchasing the property and building accessory structures, in addition to
an attached garage, to house their business. The City Code prohibits the use of accessory
structures for home occupations. In order to address this issue, the code was amended to limit
the size of accessory structures to 1,000 square feet in all districts that permit single - family
homes. At that time it was presumed that legitimate agricultural uses which came in to construct
or expand agricultural buildings would be able to receive a variance for such expansion since the
size of the structure is related to its use for agricultural purposes. The "Practical Difficulty" is
related to the ability to maintain the horses and provide adequate shelter on an agriculturally

ANALYSIS
The smallest standard stable width offered by
common manufacturers is 36 feet. This allows for
a 12 -foot wide by 12 -foot deep stall (common stall
size recommended by equine experts) or tack room
on each side of the 12- foot center aisle.
The proposed stable is 48 feet by 36 feet (1,728
square feet) to accommodate four horses, tack,
feed, and hay. The proposed barn will also have an
attached 12 -foot by 48 -foot (576 square feet)

overhang to provide shelter from the sun and rain while the horses are in pasture. While the 12-
foot by 48 -foot area will remain open, staff, at the recommendation of the City Attorney,
included this area as part of the overall structure and variance request.
�f *rbr� r�r
The purpose of the request to exceed the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure limitation is to
provide an adequate stable for horses on an agriculturally zoned property. Agricultural uses
were addressed in the discussion of the amendment in 2007, in that it would be a reasonable
request based on a legitimate agricultural use and will be keeping in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the A2 district.
The proposed stable will meet all required setbacks and height limitations as outlined in the A2
zoning district and the Shoreland District. The height limitation in the Shoreland District and A2
district is 35 feet. The proposed barn is 20 feet as measured from grade to the midpoint of the
gable.
The A2 district permits other agricultural uses and farm animals. Section 20 -1001 (3) of the City
Code states:
Farm animals are an allowed use on all farm property except as otherwise specifically provided
in the City code. Farm animals may not be confined in a pen, feed lot or building within 100 feet
of any residential dwelling not owned or leased by the farmer.

City Code definition:
Farms animals means cattle, hogs, bees, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, horses, llama, emu, and
other animals commonly accepted as farm animals in the State of Minnesota.
The practical difficulties of the variance to exceed the 1,000 square -foot limitation are directly
related to horses and the requirements of the Stable Permit in Chapter 5 of the City Code. The
Planning Commission may want to discuss further limitations being that the subject site abuts
single- family residential homes.
Additionally, staff added conditions stating the structure may not be used as a separate dwelling
unit.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
IN RE:
Application of Matt and Sarah Christensen for a 1,304 square -foot variance from the 1,000
square -foot accessory structure area limitation to construct a 2,304 square -foot stable on property
zoned Agricultural Estate (A2) — Planning Case #2011 -06.
On July 19, 2011, 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 Agricultural Estate (A2).
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Large Lot.
3. The legal description of the property is Lot 3, Block 1, Lake Riley Highlands Addition.
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 subject site is zoned Agricultural Estate (A2). Private stables are a
permitted use within the A2 zoning district. The property is 6.63 acres, and according to
City Code could contain up to 16 horses. A private stable in excess of the 1,000 square
feet is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this chapter and consistent with
the comprehensive plan.
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 permitted by this
Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems.
Finding: Limiting the area of the stable to 1,000 square feet for a horse stable is a
practical difficulty, being that the property could, according to City Code, house up to 16
horses. City Code also requires that horses must be provided shelter of sufficient size to
provide necessary protection and must provide space for the animal to roll. A 1,000
square -foot stable would minimize the stall and walkway spaces as well as storage area for
related supplies.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The purpose of the request is to have a private stable and horses on an
agriculturally zoned lot for personal use. The private stable is not intended for economic
gain.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The property is unique due to the fact that it is an agriculturally zoned property
within the City. City ordinance permits private stables on agriculturally zoned property.
However, to limit home occupations from being run out of accessory structures, the city
limited the size of accessory structures in all residential zoning districts to 1,000 square
feet in 2007.
City Code also requires that horses must be provided shelter of sufficient size to provide
necessary protection and must provide space for the animal to roll. A 1,000 square -foot
stable would minimize the stall and walkway spaces as well as storage area for related
supplies.
The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: A private stable in excess of 1,000 square feet will not alter the essential
character of the locality; rather it is consistent with the A2 zoning district and permitted
uses.
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 #2011 -06, dated July 19, 2011, prepared by Angie Kairies, et al, is
incorporated herein.
01
DECISION
The Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves Planning Case 2011 -06, for a 1,304
square -foot variance from the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure area limitation to construct a
2,304 square -foot stable on property zoned Agricultural Estate (A2).
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments this 19 day of July,

10 Pioneer Trail Stable Variance Request
June 16, 2011
We respectfully appreciate your consideration of our building size variance request
Variance Description
We are requesting permission to construct a detached outbuilding for use as a private
stable measuring a total of 2,304 square feet. This exceeds the current limitation of 1,000
square feet for detached outbuildings.
Our property is 6.63 acres, which makes it eligible for 16 horses (Sec. 5 -104).
The smallest standard stable width offered by common manufacturers (e.g. Morton,
Lester, Barn Pros, and Cleary) is 36 feet. This allows for a stall (common stall size
recommended by equine experts is 12 feet wide by 12 feet deep) or tack room on each
side of a 12 -foot center aisle. It also provides a sturdy construction as posts can be
spaced evenly at 12 -foot intervals.
In order to accommodate reasonable tack, feed, and hay along with about four horses, we
would like to construct a stable 48 feet in length and 36 feet in width (1,728 square feet).
This size will also provide a more attractive building as it is of typical dimensions for
such a facility.
We would also like to attach a 12 -foot overhang to the full 48 -foot east side of the stable
(576 square feet) to provide shelter from sun and rain while our horses are in pasture.
This will be an open space, but is considered a part of the total square footage of the
building, so the facility would be a total of 2,304 square feet.
Variance Conditions (Section 20 -58)
1. 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.
Our property is zoned as A2 — Agricultural Preservation District. We are
permitted to keep horses and would like to provide adequate and attractive
facilities. Two of the three Chanhassen properties directly adjoining ours have
horses and one has cattle. These two properties have an estimated 9,000 - square
feet of outbuildings on a combined 7 acres of property. A third property (zoned
rural residential) located within 50 feet of our property boundary has an
approximately 3,000 - square foot outbuilding on a 2.5 acre lot.
2. 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 permitted by
this Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to
direct sunlight for solar energy systems.
SCANNED
10 Pioneer Trail Stable Variance Request
June 16, 2011
We would like adequate facilities to comfortably house several horses along with
related supplies. Smaller facilities adhering to the existing code could limit
comfort and safety of the horses as stall and walkway spaces would be minimized.
A smaller facility would also limit our ability to store adequate supplies.
3. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
This variance is requested in order to provide better educational and fulfillment
opportunities for our family. It is not intended to increase the property value and
will not result in any enhanced income - generation potential.
4. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created
by the landowner.
These conditions were in place at the time we purchased our property in July of
2010. We contacted and met with city officials in advance of placing an offer on
this property to ensure we could have horses if we were to purchase this property.
5. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
By granting this variance, you will enable us to construct an attractive building
that will complement the detached outbuildings located at our four closest
neighbors (50 Pioneer Trail, 105 Pioneer Trail, 108 Pioneer Trail, and 9731
Meadowlark Lane).
