PRESENT ZONING:
Single Family Residential District - RSF
2020 LAND USE PLAN: Low Density Residential
ACREAGE:
25,224 square feet
DENSITY:
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting two front yard variances to
rebuild a nonconforming garage. The new construction is an improvement to the existing situation.
Staff is recommending approval of the request.
Notice of this public heating 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.

Granting this variance will allow the new structure to blend in with pre-existing standards.
b. 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 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 proposed variation will improve a nonconforming setback and allow it to
become more in compliance.
d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding: The hardship stems from the shape of the lot and the fact that it is surrounded by
two streets, reducing the buildable area on the site.
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: Approval of the variances will remove a structure from the sight distance triangle
which will eliminate a potentially dangerous situation.
f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
propm~ty 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.
Based upon these findings, staff is recommending approval of this variance.

Request for Variance at 3628 Hickory Lane, Excelsior MN
Requested by Stephen M. Gunther, owner
VARIANCE REQUEST DESCRIPTION
I request a variance to the requirement that structures be set back a minimum of 30 feet
from the road on one side of the property. I would like to locate a garage 13 feet from the
road on Hickory Road (in line with neighbor's garage) and 25 feet from Red Cedar Point.
PURPOSE AND INTENT
I would like to improve the visual beauty of the property by removing the dilapidated
garage on the lot that violates the current restrictions. Then, I'd like to build a new
garage, styled and located in a fashion to be consistent with what other homeowners on
Hickory Lane have done. See attached drawing.
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE VARIANCE
Because of the triangular shape of this plot of land, adherence to the existing set back
requirements severely restricts the possible uses of the land. Literally following the
existing setback restrictions, the footprint of any structure placed on the property could
only be 10 x 13 feet. This is an undue hardship and prevents reasonable use of the land.
JUSTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 20-58
Please note that this variance...
1. Allows us to significantly improve the visual beauty of the property
2. will blend with pre-existing standards on the street
3. is not applicable to other homeowners because of the unique shape of this'specific
lot
4. is being requested to make reasonable use of the property and not generate
income. Adding the garage may increase the value of the property but that is not
our purpose
5. is not addressing a self-created hardship but a pre-existing one
6. will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or
improvements in the neighborhood
7. will not impair an adequate supply of light and air, will not substantially increase
the congestion of the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the
public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood.
The names and addresses of the owners of properties that are within 500 feet of this
property are attached:
