BY: AK, AF, JM, TJ
PROPOSED MOTION: "The Chanhassen Planning Commission, as the Board of Appeals
and Adjustments, approves Planning Case #2011 -10 for the construction of a single - family
home with variances, subject to the conditions of the staff report; and adoption of the Findings of
Fact and Decision."
PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting the following variances for the construction of a single -
family home on a non - conforming lot of record zoned Single Family Residential District (RSF):
• West front yard setback along Yuma: 12 -foot variance (18 -foot setback)
• East front yard setback along Ringo: 21 -foot variance (9 -foot setback)
(All proposed setbacks are measured from the 24 -inch eaves of the structure).

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.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
CITY OF CHANHASSEN
The subject site is located in the Carver Beach Subdivision and is zoned Single - Family
Residential (RSF). The site is a non - conforming lot of record with an area of 8,936 square feet
versus the minimum 15,000 square feet for a new lot in the RSF district.

Planning Case #2011 -10
October 18, 2011
Page 2 of 7
With a 30 -foot setback from three property lines, the buildable area of the site is a 1,024 square -
foot triangle.
The applicant's original request was for one setback variance from Ringo Drive with the same
house footprint; all other setbacks and hard surface coverage requirements would be met.
During a site visit, it came to staff's attention that there is an existing 12 -inch culvert that
discharges stormwater under the right -of -way for Ringo Drive and across the southern portion of
the subject site toward Yuma Drive. The original location of the house was directly over this
drainage area. It was at that time that staff advised the applicant to relocate the house toward the
north property line to ensure the drainage was accommodated when locating the house.
To accommodate this drainage, the proposed house is located closer to the north end of the
property. In doing so, the 30 -foot front yard setbacks cannot be met and still allow the
construction of a single - family home.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting two front yard setback variances (as measured from the
eaves of the proposed structure):
• A 12 -foot front yard setback variance (18 -foot setback) from the minimum 30 -foot front
yard setback along Yuma Drive. The footprint of the structure will be located 20 feet from
The subject site has street frontage on three sides of the property, Yuma Drive, Cree Drive and
Ringo Drive; thus creating three "front yards ". The required front yard setback is 30 feet.

the property line, which is adequate space to park a vehicle on the driveway and maintain a
10% driveway slope.
• A 21 -foot front yard setback variance (9 -foot setback) from the minimum 30 -foot front
yard setback along Ringo Drive. The 40 -foot wide right -of -way for Ringo Drive was
dedicated with the Carver Beach plat in 1927. The existing pavement within the right -of-
way is not a public street. Providing an 11 -foot setback between the footprint of the
structure and the east property line will allow for adequate snow storage.
The zoning ordinance states that eaves may not encroach into the required setback if a variance is
granted. Therefore, all setback distances for variance consideration will be measured from the
eaves of the structure while the foundation is recessed two feet from the eaves. Staff is
recommending approval of this variance request based on the fact that the site is a non - conforming
lot of record the unique size and shape of the site and the need to accommodate stormwater drainage
of the southern portion of the property.

Planning Case #2011 -10
October 18, 2011
Page 4 of 7
Due to the fact that the Carver Beach subdivision predates the adoption of the zoning ordinance in
1972, many parcels in this development are non - conforming lots of record and may require a
variance to update or construct homes.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is a non - conforming lot of record platted in the early 1900s and does not comply
with many of the RSF zoning district standards which were established in 1972.
The subject site is a trapezoid with an area of 8,936 square feet. The minimum lot size in the RSF
zoning district is 15,000 square feet. In addition to the lot area not meeting the district requirements,
the site has an average 68.5 -foot
lot width, which does not meet
the minimum 90 -foot lot width
requirement. The required 30-
foot front yard and 10 -foot side
yard requirements further limit
the buildable area of the site. To
comply with all of the required
setbacks, the buildable area of
the site is a 1,024 square -foot
triangle.
Due to the size and shape of the
lot and required setbacks, a
home, which complies with the
minimum City standards for a
single - family home, (Section
20 -905) is virtually impossible
to locate on the site without
variances.
City Code requires that a (30' x
30') rambler have a minimum
floor area of 900 square feet and
a two -story have a minimum of
600 square feet on the first level.
In addition to the minimum floor area, the City Code also requires the site to have a two -car garage.
An average size garage is 22'x 22' (484 square feet).
The proposed house is 1,248 square feet with a 517 square -foot attached garage. The proposed
house complies with the 25% maximum hard surface coverage requirement in the RSF district.

DRAINAGE
There is a 12 -inch corrugated metal pipe that discharges stormwater under the right -of -way for
Ringo Drive and across approximately the southern one -third of the subject property. This
drainage is then conveyed through a channel approximately 0.5 foot deep to the southwest
property corner where it then flows south down Yuma Drive. Under existing conditions, 0.82
acre of land is tributary to this culvert — primarily from the northeast. An additional 0.33 acre of
land will drain to the proposed swale for a total of 1.15 acres of land flows to the southeast
corner of this lot onto Yuma Drive.
Because this is a legal lot of record, the property owners must be allowed a reasonable use of the
property. However in doing so, the location of the proposed house and the existing drainage
must be considered concurrently so as not to cause damage to adjacent properties. To determine
the characteristics of the drainage on the site as it relates to the development of this parcel, the
hydrology and hydraulics were evaluated.
Based on this evaluation, it was modeled that during a 100 -year, 24 -hour rain event, the culvert
will discharge at a rate of 3.2 cubic feet per second (cfs). A swale, constructed with a four (4)
Nowling Variance
Planning Case #2011 -10
October 18, 2011
Page 6 of 7
foot wide bottom and 1:4 side slopes, will have a flow depth of just less than one - quarter foot in
depth (0.23 ft) during a 6 -inch rain event. The applicant is required to provide three (3) feet of
separation between the low building elevation and the high water level. Further, they need to
construct a berm south of the swale to protect the neighboring property. Based upon the
topographic survey and the grading plan they provided it is apparent that they will be able to
meet these requirements, but at this time adjustments to the current plan as submitted are
required prior to issuing a Building Permit.
In order to assure that the conveyance remains in perpetuity, a drainage and utility easement will
be required over the swale. The exact location and dimensions of this easement remain to be
determined and shall, at a minimum, include the high water level and adequate width to allow
equipment into the channel to perform routine maintenance.
RIGHT -OF -WAY
The 40 -foot wide right -of -way for Ringo Drive was dedicated with the Carver Beach plat in
1927. The existing pavement within the right -of -way is not a public street. There are no plans to
construct a public street at this time.
A new, standard residential street is 31 feet wide from back -of -curb to back -of -curb within a 60-
foot wide right -of -way. If a public street is constructed in the future, the street width will be
determined at that time.
TREE PRESERVATION
The proposed site is heavily wooded. It is the policy of the city to preserve natural woodland
areas throughout the city and, with respect to specific site development to retain, as far as
practical, substantial tree stands which can be incorporated into the overall landscape plan. No
clear cutting of woodland areas shall be permitted, unless it is part of an approved subdivision,
planned unit development or site plan application. Clear cutting would result in a variance
request. The applicant must submit a tree removal plan that clearly shows all trees, 6 inches and
larger, and their designation as removed or saved as part of the Building Permit application.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion and the adoption of
the attached Findings of Fact and Decision:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission, as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, approves
Planning Case #2011 -10 for a 12 -foot front yard setback from the west property line and a 21-
foot front yard setback from the east property line for the construction of a single - family home

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
IN RE:
Application of Tricia and Peter Nowling for a 12 -foot front yard setback from the west property
line and a 21 -foot front yard setback from the east property line for the construction of a single -
family home on a non - conforming lot of record zoned Single - Family Residential (RSF) —
Planning Case #2011 -10.
On October 18, 2011, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and
Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Board
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 Single- Family Residential (RSF).
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density.
3. The legal description of the property is Lots 1899 -1901, 1913 & 1914, Carver Beach.
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 construction of a Single - Family home is in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of this Chapter and is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The
subject site is located within the Carver Beach subdivision, which was platted in 1927.
Carver Beach is zoned Single - Family Residential (RSF) and is comprised of several non-
conforming residential lots which predate the adoption of the zoning ordinance.
Construction of a single - family home is the primary use in the RSF district.
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: The site is an 8, 936 square -foot trapezoid. The subject site has street frontage
on three sides of the property: Yuma Drive, Cree Drive and Ringo Drive, thus creating
three "front yards ". The required front yard setback is 30 feet. With a 30- foot setback
from three property lines, the buildable area of the site is a 1,024 square -foot triangle.
Due to the size and shape of the lot and required setbacks, a home, which complies with the
minimum City standards for a single- family home, (Section 20 -905) is virtually impossible
to locate on the site without variances.
In addition to the limited buildable area, there is an existing 12 -inch culvert that
discharges stormwater under the right -of -way for Ringo Drive and across the southern
portion of the subject site toward Yuma Drive. To accommodate this drainage, the
proposed house is located closer to the north end of the property. In doing so, the 30 -foot
front yard setbacks cannot be met and still allow the construction of a single - family
home.
Based upon the above mentioned facts, there are practical difficulties in complying with
setback requirements. The construction of a single - family home with variances from the
required setbacks is a reasonable use of the property.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based on economic considerations alone; the
applicant is proposing to construct a single - family home on a non - conforming lot of
record in a residential zoning district.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The subject site is a non - conforming lot of record platted in 1927 and predates
the adoption of the zoning ordinance. It does not comply with the minimum lot standards
in the RSF district. The unique location, size and shape of the site and the need to
accommodate stormwater drainage on the southern portion of the property limits the
ability to construct a home on the site without variances.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: Granting the proposed variance request will not alter the essential character of
the locality or neighborhood, as the Carver Beach subdivision is a residential district.
Many parcels in this development are non - conforming lots of record and may require a
variance to update or construct homes.
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 #11-10, dated October 18, 2011, prepared by Angie Kairies, et al, is
incorporated herein.

Written Description of Variance Request
We are requesting a variance to the setback requirement on the East side of our lot that
borders Ringo Drive. We would like the setback reduced from 30 feet to 10 feet, treating
this border as a side yard rather than a third front yard. We will still meet the 30 -foot
front yard setbacks from the North, bordering Cree Drive, and the West, bordering Yuma
Drive, as well as the 10 -foot side yard setback to the South.
Written Justification
The purpose of this request is to build a single - family home that conforms to the
prevailing size, shape, and livability of surrounding homes in the neighborhood. This lot
is uniquely plotted at 8,936 square feet, with roads on three sides, tapering towards the
North end creating a triangular shape. Literal enforcement of the city code leaves us with
a buildable area for which a triangular house 24 feet wide at one end, tapering to 7 feet
wide at the other, and having a footprint of less than 1,000 square feet including garage
would be built. If required to build in this space the resulting triangular house would
have a flat roof for structural reasons, and would not blend with the established
neighborhood. We are requesting this variance to preserve the aesthetic quality of the
existing neighborhood, and livability of our future home, not for economic gain.
This land was plotted before the existence of Chanhassen city codes, and has not been
subdivided, nor have the owners sold any portion of this land. The front yard setback
requirement of 30 feet on three of four sides of this lot is what creates practical
difficulties in using this property in a reasonable manner. Ringo Drive is a public right of
way, not maintained to the same standards as surrounding roads, and has very little
traffic. We explored the option of vacating this road by visiting all of the property owners
abutting Ringo Drive. We did not receive 100 percent support to vacate, but did not
encounter anyone who was against us building a home on this property. We have
included documentation of this effort in the form of a list of signatures in support of
vacating the road, and the verbal responses from those not supporting the idea. By
treating Ringo Drive as a side yard we would be encroaching on a little -used private
drive, not on anyone's personal property.
The resulting house and garage we are proposing upon approval of this variance will be a
lookout rambler, rectangular in shape, with a peaked roof, and a footprint of 1,765 square
feet. The house will be 32 by 39 feet wide, with an attached garage 22 by 23.5 feet wide
facing Yuma. In planning this home and variance request every effort has been made to
request the bare minimum to put this land to reasonable use. The front door will be
located directly next to the garage door with no walkway, and a tapering driveway in
order to meet the 25% hardcover requirement. This house will blend in with the
prevailing style of this established neighborhood in size, shape and livability, while
putting this property to reasonable use as a single - family home. This home will be built
following all city and state ordinances protecting the locality from alteration in a negative
manner during construction, and after completion.
