APPLICANT:
Jesse Schneider

Chanhassen, MN 55317
PRESENT ZONING:
RSF, Single Family Residential
2020 LAND USE PLAN:
Low Density Residential -
ACREAGE:
14,500 sq. ft. (.33 acres)
DENSITY: N/A
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is proposing to remove the current detached garage
and construct an attached two-car garage with an addition to the home. The requested front yard
variance is from Chan View Road.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
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 variance. The City has a relatively high level of discretion
with a variance because of the burden of proof is on the applicant to show that they meet the
standards in the ordinance.

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Section 20-615(5) of the zoning ordinance requires a 30-foot front yard setback for properties
zoned RSF (Attachment 2).
Section 20-72(a) states that there shall be no expansion, intensification, replacement, structural
change, or relocation of any nonconforming use or nonconforming structure except to lessen or
eliminate the nonconformity (Attachment 2).
Section 20-72(b) states that a nonconforming structure may be altered or expanded provided,
however, that the nonconformity may not be increased.
Section 20-72 (e) states that removal or destruction of a non-conforming structure to the extent of
more than 50 percent of its estimated value, excluding land value and as determined by the city,
shall terminate the right to continue the nonconforming structure (Attachment 2).
BACKGROUND
This property is part of Scholer's 2nd Addition, platted in 1961. According to records supplied by
Carver County, this home was constructed in 1961 prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance.
The lot is located on the northwest comer of Laredo Drive and Chan View Road. The existing
20 foot by 20 foot detached garage is setback 56 feet from Laredo Drive and 19 feet from Chan
View Road, thus does not meet the required 30 foot front yard setback.
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing garage and reconstruct a 24-foot x 35-foot
(840 square foot) attached garage and home addition. The new garage is proposed to be setback
25 feet from the front yard of Chan View Road and 53 feet from Laredo Drive (See Attachment 3).
Looking East From Laredo Drive
The subject property is approximately 14,500 sq. ft. in area. With the proposed addition, the
approximate lot coverage will be 25% (this figure includes a 24-foot x 53-foot driveway).

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a 5-foot variance from the 30-foot front yard setback (off Chan View
Road) for the reconstruction of an attached two-stall garage including a home addition. The
existing garage was constructed at a 19-foot setback. The applicant is seeking to decrease the
nonconforming setback.
The existing 20-foot x 20-foot garage is located 10 feet from the existing house. As a remodeling
project, the applicant is proposing to demolish the existing garage and construct an attached 2-car
garage. The proposed structure includes a 12-foot x 12-foot home addition, to be used as a
'mud-room'. This garage addition also includes a space to be used for storage (See Attachment 3).
Currently, a sliding glass door and deck is located on the southeast comer of the home. This will
be moved to the east side of the home. The applicant also proposes to install a second 12 ft. wide
garage door to the east side of the structure. As stated by the applicant, this would be used as an
access to equipment and recreational vehicles.
Looking North From Chan View
Looking NW from Chan View
Staff has reviewed the property to determine if the garage could be constructed to meet setback
requirements. To meet setbacks, the garage would have to be constructed on the rear side of the
house. However, that will require removal of an existing tree, approximately 30 inches in
diameter. Also, according to the applicant, the location of the existing driveway and proposed
garage fits better with the layout of the house. Furthermore, the proposed location is more
cohesive to existing neighborhood standards. A visual survey of neighboring properties
determined that the majority of homes have a two car attached garage.
Reasonable Use
A hardship occurs when the owner does not have a reasonable use of the property. A reasonable
use is defined as the use made by a majority of comparable property within 500 feet. A "use" can
be defined as "the purpose or activity for which land or buildings are designed, arranged or
intended or for which land or buildings are occupied or maintained." In this case, because it is in
the RSF zoning district, a reasonable use is a single family home with two covered parking
spaces. A single-family home with a detached two-car garage is present on the site. However,
the existing detached garage is a nonconforming structure as it encroaches into the required front
yard setback.
Schneider Variance
March 19, 2002

Nonconforming Setback
The existing garage maintains a nonconforming 19-foot front yard setback from Chan View
Road. The zoning ordinance permits repair and maintenance of existing nonconforming
structures. Removal of more than 50% of the value of a nonconforming structure will terminate
these rights. (The garage is being rebuilt so a variance is required.) It also states that there shall
be no expansion, intensification, replacement, structural change, or relocation of any
nonconforming use or nonconforming structure except to lessen or eliminate the nonconformity.
In addition, nonconforming structures may be altered or expanded provided, however, that the
nonconformity may not be increased.
The proposed garage does not meet the required 30-foot front yard setback; nevertheless, it will
decrease the nonconforming setback, thus meeting the above requirements. Furthermore, the
new garage will improve the overall look of the property. Staff would recommend the size of the
driveway be decreased to the width of the garage door. This would decrease the amount of
impervious surface area.
Yard Encroachments
In cases where a variance is granted, the zoning ordinance does not permit any encroachments,
such as eaves, into the required setback. The applicant did not take this requirement into
consideration; therefore the requested variance does not include room for eaves. Upon
discussions with staff, the applicant proposed reducing the garage width by a ½ foot and adding a
1 I/2 foot eave. Thus, the applicant is requesting a 6-foot variance for the construction of a
23½-foot x 35-foot garage/home addition, plus a 1½-foot eave.
The applicant is proposing to demolish a nonconforming structure with a setback of 19 feet and
replace it with one that will considerably lessen the nonconformity. Staff supports the variance
and recommends approval of a 6-foot variance for the construction of an attached garage and
home addition.
FINDINGS
The Planning Commission shall not grant a variance unless they find the following facts:
a.
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 these criteria.

March 19, 2002

Finding: The applicant does have reasonable use of the property; however, the existing
garage is a nonconforming structure. The reconstruction of an attached garage will decrease
the nonconformity of the setback. Also, a majority of surrounding properties have an
attached two-car garage, thus approving the proposed garage will not depart downward
from pre-existing neighborhood standards.
bo
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 is based are applicable to many
properties in the RSF zoning district.
C°
The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income
potential of the parcel of land.
Finding: The new garage will increase the value of the property; however, staff does not
believe that is the sole reason for the request.
d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding: The garage has existed for 40 years and was constructed prior to the ordinance, so
the hardship is not self-created.
e°
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.
Finding: 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 proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission approves Variance #02~3 for a 6-foot variance from the 30-foot front
yard setback for the construction of an attached two-stall garage including a home addition with
the following conditions:

Planning Commission and City Counsel Members,
It is my desire to improve the overall appearance and functionality of my home at 7615 Laredo Drive by
constructing an attached, two-car garage. However, I fail to meet the specified code requirements as set forth by the
City of Chanhassen zoning ordinances. As requested by Julie Grove, City of Chanhassen Planner, I am submitting a
written request for a variance to my property on the comer of Chanview Road and Laredo Drive.
As specified in the City of Chanhassen zoning ordinances, residential structures located on comer lots must be thirty
feet from all thoroughfare property lines. Although my home meets this requirement from the west side (Laredo
Drive), it fails to comply from the south side (Chanview Road). My unattached garage is currently nineteen feet
from the property line (Chanview Road side).
The following bullet-points highlight the advantages of allowing a variance to my property.
My current plans relinquish six feet of property in favor of the current zoning ordinance. In other
words, a new garage will bring the structure twenty-five feet back from the Chanview Road property
line, as opposed to the current nineteen feet.
An attached garage will allow my home to adhere to current and modem structural standards, thus
creating a more architecturally cohesive neighborhood. Moreover, most homes in my neighborhood
have attached garages.
· A larger, attached garage will create more storage space, therefore allowing me to clean up the current
condition of my property.
· Due to the existing landscape features and layout of my house, a driveway offLaredo is the only
feasible option; this is the current location of the present driveway.
It is my belief that the literal enforcement of this Chapter will not allow me to put my property to reasonable use. I
fully understand that there are well-established, pre-existing building standards within my neighborhood. My desire
for a variance is not to break from these standards, but to comply with them in an equitable fashion.
Detached garages are outdated in suburban construction. This project is an excellent opportunity to update the look
of my property, while adding to the overall aesthetics to the City of Chanhassen. I have attached the most recent set
of architectural plans for your review. I truly desire this to be a win-win situation for both the City of Chanhassen
and myself. Please contact me if there are any questions, comments, or concerns. Thank you for your time and
effort.
Respectfully,

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 all ordinance requirements;
(2) To prevent the enlargement, expansion, intensification, or extension of any noncon-
forming use, build, g, 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 therea/~r. Following the expiration of twelve (12) months, only land uses which
are 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
1164
ZONING § 20-73
(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 lessened 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.
(f) Notwithstanding the prohibitions contained in the forgoing paragraphs of this section,
if approved by the city council a nonconforming land use may be changed to another noncon-
formiug land use of less intensity if it is in the public interest. In all instances the applicant
has the burden of proof regarding the relative intensities of uses.
(g) If a nonconforming.land use is superseded or replaced by a permitted use, the non-
conforming status of the premises and any rights which arise under the provisions of this
section shall terminate.
(Ord. No. 165, § 2, 2-10-92)
Sec. 20-73. Nonconforming lots of record.
(a) No_variance shall be'required to reconstruct a detached single-family dwelling located
on a nonconforming lot of record or which is a nonconforming use if it is destroyed by natural
disaster so long as the replacement dwelling has a footprint which is no larger than that of the
destroyed structure and is substantially the same size in building height and floor area as the
destroyed structure. Reconstruction shall commence within two (2) years of the date of the
destruction of the original building and reasonable progress shall be made in completing the
project. A building permit shall be obtained prior to construction of the new dwelling and the
new structure shall be constructed in compliance with all other city codes and regulations.
(b) No variance shall 'be required to constract a detached single-family dwelling on a
nonconforming lot provided that it fronts on a public street or approved private street and
provided that the width and area measurements are at lest seventy-five (75) percent of the
minimum requirements of this chapter.
(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided for detached single-family dwellings, 'there
shall be no expansion, intensification, replacement, or structural changes of a structure on a
nonconforming lot.
