RE' Lot 1 1, Block 1 Shadowmere Addition - 500 Bighorn [)rive
BACKGROUND
Shadowmere is a subdivision ....... :'-' g . ~
~,,~_..s~stm._ of 27 single-famiN residentia! lots on the
west side of Lores Lake. The subdivision received final plat approval fi'om the
Chanhassen City Council on August 17, !987.
Lot 11 is an L-shaped riparian lot in the no~*.heasl con.er of the subdivision that
has not yet been developed. The lot is approximately 33,840 square~ee~ ~' * 0~.78'a
acres) in size. During the City review process, Lot 11 was deemed buiidable.
Tile ~ ' o
[ .,anmn=. Commission reviewed requests for a lakeshore setback variance and
a creek setback variance on January 16, 2001. l'he requests were tabled due to
lack of sufficient information.
J The purpose oft/ds memorandum is to answer questions posed by the Planning
I Commission during their January 16, 2001 meeting in order to clarify the
I
J findings and recommendations set forth by staffin the current staffreport.
Exiiting Features
Lot 11 contains a storm water pond that was constructed in conjunction with the
subdivision and a creek that runs along the north side of the lots north of Bighorn
Drive. The lot has approximately 95 feet of lakeshore.
0UESTIONS AND ANSVOgRS
On January 16, 2001, the Planning Commission posed the following questions to
City staff regarding the above proposal. The questions are listed below in bold
with staff responses in italics following each question.
The C/fl, of Cha,ha~.(e,.

,
How do the City's requirements compare with DNR requirements for creek setbacks?
For lake setbacks? Is a separate permit required from the DNR?
This' creek is not a DNR protected ~4,ater, so the most restricting feature of this lot with
regard to the creek is the "creek slope line" identified on. the preliminary plat and
incorporated in the Development Contract. The DNR does not have jurisdiction over this
creek; therefore, no DNR permit is necessary.
Chapter 20-479 of the Zoning Ordinance states "A ll protected watercourses in Chanhassen
sho~.vn on the Protected Waters Inventory Map for Carver County, a copy of which is herby
adopted by reference, not given a classification herein shall be considered "tributary ....
£ollowing the January 16, 2001 Planning Commission meeting, staff conducted additional
research and discovered that Carver Beach O'eek is not protected by the DNR and is not
reflected in the Protected ~I/aters Inventory Map for Carver County. This does not lessen the
value of this creek nor the City's desire to protect it fi'om any adverse impacts that may result
fi'om adjacent development. Staff conducted a thorough study of the Shadowmere
subdivision file and read rninutes and discussions pertaining to the creek. In summa~% the
Planning Commission, City Council and developer wanted to adopt regulations to protect
and improve the quality and integrity of the creek. The developer identified a "creek slope
line." This line maintains an approximate setback of SO+ feet fi'om the center of the creek.
The binding condition in the Development Contract, which is recorded with Carver County
and regulates the development of this site, states, "The Developer has established a 'creek
slope line' shown on Exhibit ',4' to restrict encroachment of buildings on Lots ] through ! ]
along the Carver Beach Creek. A drainage easement shall also be provided across this area
including the detention pond proposed for Lot 11." The plan originally submitted by the
applicant does not show the creek slope line. Staff directed the applicant to amend the
survey by including the creek slope line and its relationship to the proposed structure. The
revised plans show the proposed house pad is to be constructed outside the "creek slope
line ".
2. Are driveways considered structures?
According to Chanhassen City Code, a structure "means anything manufactured,
constructed, or.erected which is normally attached to or positioned on land, whether
temporary or permanent in character, including but not limited to: buildings, fences, sheds,
advertising signs, dog kennels, hard swface parking areas, boardwalks, playground
equipment, concrete slabs" (Section 20-1, page 1158.4). However, if this definition of
structure is applied, a driveway can never reach the street since structures must maintain a
30-foot fi'ont yard setback.
Driveways are allowed within required yard setbacks. According to Chanhassen City Code,
the fol/o~ving shall not be considered to be obstructions fi'om setback regulations: "into any
required fi'ont, rear, or side yard: driveways, sidewalks, stand wire agricultural fence"
('Section 20-908. Se).

3. How does the current alignment of the creek compare to the alignment of the creek at
the time of platting?
,4ny difference in current versus historical creek alignments is not relevant to this case. The
creek slope line is the most restricting feature of this lot. The line was established by the
developer and was not set at one specific distance fi'om the creek.
4. From where is the creek setback measured?
On a DNR protected water (ag or tributary streanO, the creek setback would be measured
fi'om the ordina~T high water level (OHW). Since this stream is not a DNR protected
watercourse, this setback does not apply.
5. What is the definition of "center line?"
Because the setback is determined by the creek slope line, and is not a measurement fi'om the
cenler line, this definition is no longer relevant.
6. What is the fate of storm water sheet flo~ving down the driveway?
Slorm ~,aler sheel flowing dmvn the drivewco; will run down the slope to the creek.
7. Can the driveway be made smaller?
Yes, the driveway can be made smaller than originally proposed. The currentproposal has
eliminated the "turn-around" area that was proposed
8. Is there a way to mitigate the effects of the portion of the drive;vay that is within the
creek setback?
Yes. Providing a form qf rate control would mitigate the a&,erse effects of storm water. One
way to cio this would be to require buffer-type plantings of native vegetation between the
driveway and the creek. This can be included as a condition of the lakeshore setback
variance. ,4ccording to City Code, "when determined necessary, conditions shall be
attached to issu'ed permits to prevent erosion and to preserve existing vegetation screening of
structures..." (~ection 20-481, 5).
PlaltttittR Commissiott Update
When staff determined that Carver Beach Creek was not a DNR protected watercourse, the
applicant was directed to amend the survey to include the creek slope line and its relationship to
the proposed structure. As shoxvn on Attachment 3, the proposed structure is not located within
the creek slope line, and therefore does not require a variance as originally thought. The area of
the driveway has also been reduced by eliminating the turn around. This will minimize the
adverse effects on the creek.

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 REGUATIONS
Section 20-481 (a) requires that all structures be setback seventy-five (75) feet from recreational
development lakes. In addition, when a structure exists on a lot on either side of the property, the
setback of a proposed structure shall be the greater of the distance of the 75 foot structure setback or
the setback of the existing structure (91 feet).
Section 20 481 (a) states that structures be setback 50 feet from tributaries.
BACKGROUND
Shadoxvmere is a subdivision consisting of 27 single-family residential lots located on the west side
of Lotus Lake. The subdivision received final plat approval from the Chanhassen City Council on
August 17, 1987. This property, Lot 11, Block 1, is an L-shaped riparian lot in the northeast comer
of the subdMsion that has not been developed. The lot is approximately 33,. 840 square feet (0.78
acres) in size. During the city subdivision review process, this was deemed a buildable lot.
The topography of the site does limit the buildable area. The western portion of this property
contains slopes that range fi'om a high elevation of 915 to a low of 900 where a storm water pond
was constructed in conjunction with the subdivision. A creek runs along the. north side of the lots
north of Bighorn Drive and is located on the northern portion of this lot.. A drainage and utility
easement, created to prese~xTe the pond and portions of the creek, is located on the entire western
half of the property which precludes building on this portion of the lot. There is approximately 95
feet of lakeshore on the eastern portion of the lot. The following photos show the property in
greater detail.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a 17 foot variance from the 50 foot creek setback and a 16 foot variance
fi'om the 91 foot lakeshore setback. The applicant is proposing a 2-stou, with a walkout home
containing approximately 3988 sq. ft. of living area. The proposed building pad is approximately
2.542 sq. ft wtaich includes a 3-car garage. The area of the driveway has been reduced to
minimize surface runoff as shown on Attachment 9. Portions of the proposed structure, the entry
walk. and retaining walls project 17 feet into the 50 foot creek setback. The home is proposed to be
75 feet from the ordinaD, high water level of Lotus Lake..
Pem~itted Use
This site is zoned RSF, Single Family Residential. A single family home can be legally constructed
on this site. The ordinance requires at least 600 sq. ft. of living area on the first floor for a tv¢o-story
design. The zoning ordinance (Section 20-1124 (d) f') also requires two parking spaces for a single
family home, both of which must be completely enclosed. As stated in Section 20-905, all single
family homes must provide a two-car garage.
Reasonable Use
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 pm'pose or activity for which land or buildings are designed,
an'anged or intended or for which land or buildings are occupied or maintained." In this case,
because it is in a RSF zoning district, a reasonable use is a single family home with a t~vo-stall
garage. A variance is granted when a hardship is present. That is, the property owner cannot
make a reasonable use of the site without relief from the ordinance. The buildable area on this
lot (approximately 3,880.4 sq. ft.) is constrained by the literal enforcement of the zoning
ordinance. The required lakeshore setback limits the buildable area, thus the property owner
does not have the opportunity to make a reasonable use of the site without a variance from the
91-foot lakeshore setback. In this instance, if a variance from the lakeshore setback is granted,
Stanton Variance
January 16, 2001
Page 4
the property owner could have reasonable use of the site without an additional variance from the
creek setback.
Lake Shore Setback
Lotus Lake is a recreational development lake and is protected by the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR has set standards for setbacks on protected waters, which
have been adopted by the City of Chanhassen. The setback for sewered structures on recreational
development lakes is 75 feet.
In addition, Section 20-481 of the city ordinance states that "when a structure exists the lots on
either side of the lot in question, the setback of a proposed structure shall be the greater of the 75
foot setback or the setback of the existing structure on the adjacent lot." Adopted in 1994, the intent
of this ordinance is to protect the views of the lake. The adjacent lot to the south, located at 490
Bighorn Drive, has a structure located 91 feet from the lake. A 16 foot variance from the lakeshore
setback should not significantly impact the site views of the property to the south because the
structure adjacent to Lot 11 is a garage. The structure on the adjacent property to the north is
greater than 500 feet from the lakeshore. If the 500 feet were entered into the calculation, the
subject lot would become unbuildable. (Furthern~ore; staff has received numerous inquiries
regarding the subdivision of the property to the north, 610 Carver Beach Road which is north of this
propelW). Requiring the applicant to meet the 500 foot setback is um'easonable since there are no
line of site issues for the house. Instead, the applicable setback should be that of properties similar
in size and character such as the propelxy to the south. Therefore, staff believes the requested
lakeshore setback as required by section 20-481 is 91 feet.
Using the 91 foot lakeshore setback, 50 foot creek setback, and 10 foot side yard setbacks provides
a building area of 2,648 sq. ft. The ordinance requires a 600 sq. ft. house pad plus a 2-car garage for
a two story house design. A reasonable use of this site is a single-family home with a two-stall
garage, however this would not fit within the setbacks of the site.
Creek Setback
Chapter 20-479 of. the Zoning Ordinance states "Allprotected watercourses itt Chanhassen
showtt ott the Protected Waters Inventory Map for Carver County, a copy of which is herby
adopted by reference, not given a classification herein shall be considered "tributary"".
Following the January 16, 2001 Planning Commission meeting, staff conducted additional
research, and discovered that Cam~er Beach Creek is not protected by the DNR and is not
reflected in the Protected Waters Inventory Map for Carver County. When the
subdivision was originally platted, the developer identified a "Creek Slope Line". This line
maintains an approximate setback of 50+ feet from the center of the creek along Lots 1
through 11. It is a binding condition of the development contract, and restricts
encroachment of buildings from the creek as shown on Exhibit "A" (Attachment 6). The
applicant amended the site survey and included the creek slope line. As shown on the
revised plans, the proposed house pad is outside the creek slope line.
Stanton Variance
January 16, 2001
Page 5
A staff report fi'om May 13, 1987 states that "the plat has identified a 'creek slope line' through Lots
] through ] l. It is necessary to retain a drainage easement over the area so that no building
activiO' occw's belou: this line." At the time of final plat approval, ho~vever, a 50foot setback fi'om
the centerline of the creek ~'as not mentioned. According to plans on file, the creek slope line is just
over 50 feet fi'om the center of the creek. Applying the nou' required 50foot sctback fi'om a
tributao' creek ~'ould be no more constraining than ~'hat ~.'as originally approved
Neighborhood Setbacks
Staff reviewed the original subdivision plans along with surveys of lots within 500 feet and
concluded that all structures within the subdivision fall outside of the creek protection setback, and
thus meet with the original conditions of the plat. One condition as adopted by the City Council on
June 1.1987 states, "an appropriate easement shall be dedicated to preserve the creek area from
encroact2nent by abutting property owners." To comply with this condition the developer
established a "creek slope Dine" to restrict encroactmlent of buildings on Lots 1 through 11 along the
creek. In addition, as stated in the Development Contract, a drainage easement was also provided
across this area (See attacbanents 5.6 & 7).
FINDINGS
The Planning Conmaission shall not grant a variance unless they find the following facts:
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 for Lakeshore Variance: The literal enforcement of the 91-foot lakeshore setback
ordinance for this property does create a hardship. When originally platted, prior to the
adoption of .the ordinance, the proposed building pad was placed in the same location. Strict
enforcement of the ordinance would not allow room for a 60 x 60 foot building pad, thus
creating an unbuitdable lot.
Finding for Creek Variancc: The literal enforcement of the zoning ordinance does not
create an undue hardship. The property can reasonably accommodate a single family home
and a two car garage that meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance. The large house
pad chosen by the applicant does not fit on this parcel.
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 for Lakeshore Variance: This is the last vacant lot within Shadowmere
subdivision. When the subdivision was approved, the ordinance requiring structures to be
Stanton Variance
January 16,2001
Page 6
setback fi'om the lake the distance of structures on abutting properties was not adopted. This
property was platted to have a building 75 feet from the Lake as was required by the DNR
standards.
Finding for Creek Variance: All properties that abut a credo or tributaD~ must maintain a
50 foot setback as required by the DNR.
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 for Lakeshore Variance: Staff does not believe the sole intent of this request is to
increase the values of the parcel. The purpose of this variance is to allow a home to be built
on this property as pezrnitted by ordinance. The required 91 foot setback would create a
situation where it would be impossible to fit a reasonable building pad within the required
setbacks.
Finding for Creek Variance: Staff does not believe the sole intent of this request is to
increase the value of this parcel, however the proposed home will increase the value of the
propm~ty. A smaller home can reasonable be constructed on this prope~'.
d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding for Lakeshore Variance: This lot was platted in 1987 prior to the adoption of the
ordinance, so the hardship is not self-created.
Finding for Creek Variance: The hardship is self created. The applicant's desire to
construct a large home on a limited building area created the variance request. A smaller
house pad with a txvo car garage would complement the lot.
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 for. Lakeshore Variance: 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. At least 2 properties within 500 feet of the site contain structures located a
distance of 75 feet away from Lotus Lake. These are located at 481 & 491 Bighorn Drive.
Two additional properties within 500 feet of the site have structures that are less than 90 feet
fi'om Lotus Lake. These include 480 & 471 Bighorn Drive (Attachment 8).
Finding for Crcck Variancc: Granting the variance would decrease the creek setback
fi'om 50 feet to 33 feet. The City is responsible for maintenance of the creek to ensure it
continues to function as a part of the City's storm water infrastructure. Persons operating
maintenance equipment typically require 30 40 feet between the creek bed and the nearest
structure. Granting the variance ma3' be injurious to the City's ability to access the creek to
protect the public welfare.

f. 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 for Lakeshore Variance: 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.
Finding for Creek Variance: 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 the Planning Commission adopt the following motions:
"Tile Planning Commission approves the request for a 16 foot variance fi'om the 9 t foot
lakeshore setback for the construction ora single family home, and subject to the following
conditions'
.
o
.
Erosion control must be maintained until all vegetation has been restored.
The basement of the home must be 3 feet above the ordinary high water level of
the lake.
Extend the drainage and utility easelnent over the creek to protect and preserve
the creek area.
Reduce driveway dimensions to minimize impervious surface runoff.
Survey submitted must be signed by a registered land surveyor.
Provide buffer-type plantings of native vegetation between the driveway and
the creek.
':Tile Planning Commission denies the request for a 17 foot variance from the required 50 foot
creek setback for the construction of a single family home on Lot 11, Block 1, Shadowmere,
based upon the fbllowing:
The applicant can construct a single family home within the required setbacks
without a variance."

17'-0" Please refe'r to attached'plans.
We believe this variance is justified for the following reasons'
This property, because of its topography and setback restrictions, cannot
be put to reasonable use without the variance. The unusually shaped
buildable footprint, within tile setbacks, is 3,880.4 sq.ft, or 8.8% of the
total lot area.

All df tile properties within 500 feet of this property are homes of
· comparable size or larger. All of tile homes within 500 feet in
Shadownaere have three-car garages. Our intent is to blend with the
existing standards to the gkeatest extent possible.
Three properties within 500 feet have portions of their buildings or
separate buildings that are within the 50' setback by the following
approximate distances:
510 Bighorn Drive - -29' to deck
520 B'ighorn Dr. - ~ 43'-6" to retaining wall
610 Carver Beach Rd. - - 30' to porch structure.
This request does not, therefore, set precedent.
The buildable area, as defined by setbacks, is 8.8% of the total area of the
lot. We are proposing a total hardcover of 14.6% of the lot area with
regulations permitting 25% hardcover for this property class. The design
demonstrates a reduced use of land and will have a minimal effect on the
existing natural features of this property and adjacent properties.
Tile proposed structure will be lower than nearby structures and,
therefore, its presence will not obstruct views or impair supply of light or
air for existing neighbors.
Thank you for 5, our consideration of this request.

Councilman Boyt: I would like to know if under erosion controls, what you are
meaning there is Type II erosion control?
Barbara Dacy: If you wanted to specify that, that's fine.
Councilman Boyt: I wanted to specify Type II.
Joe Finnley: Just to clarify there is a modification on Number 4 to include
all hardwood trees?
Councilman Horn: Other than hardwood trees.
Mayor Hamilton: We don't want you to cut down the hardwood trees if it can
possibly be avoided.

built. We're talking about the house lots.

Councilman Boyt: I need a little clarification of 4. In the last second

the unique nature of this forest.
Councilman Horn: That's right.
