APPLICABLE REGUATIONS
Section 20-481 of the ordinance requires a seventy-five (75) foot structUral setback from the ordinary
high water level (OHW) on recreational development lakes.
Section 20-72(b) states 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..
BACKGROUND
In 1959 the Greenwood Shores subdivision was platted with 84 lots. When the subject home was
constructed, in 1960, it was setback approximately 75 feet from the current OHW from Lake Lucy, a
recreational development lake. There is also an existing porch attached to the rear of the home, setback
62 feet from the OHW. The City requires a 75 foot setback. Staff surveyed aerial photographs, dated
April 1989, and city files of the riparian lots in this subdivision. It was determined that all structures on
8 of 12 riparian lots meet the setback. The exception includes Lots 16, 19, 20 and 21. In 1997, Lot 19
was granted a variance to construct a deck 58 feet from the OHW.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a 14 foot variance from.the 75 foot shoreland setback to construct a new-
second level deck. The proposed deck would wrap around the north, west and south sides of the home
and be placed above the existing porch. Currently, a 14 foot by 14 foot porch is located on the first level
in the rear of the home, 62 feet from the OHW. The applicant believes that a deck would provide
enjoyment of the lake views. All of the neighboring properties do have decks (See Attfichment 4 for
photographs).
. .
The existing home is a nonconforming structure as the porch is positioned 62 feet from the lake. The
city codes states that 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 (section 20-72(b)).
Although the deck will not protrude further into the setback than the existing porch, it will, in
essence, create a non-conforming setback.
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 a
RSF zoning district, a reasonable use is a single-family home with a two-stall garage. The property
owner currently does have a reasonable use of the site. Staff does not believe a hardship has been
demonstrated and does not recommend approval of the variance for the construction of a new deck.
DNR COMMENTS
Peter Leete, a Hydrologist at the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reviewed this variance
request and provided the following comments (See Attachment 6):
Carisch Variance
November 6, 2001

1. "I do not consider their needing a deck as being a hardship request.
,
They are not increasing the setback distance, but the size of the structure footprint will be
increased. The City should consider the potential for setting a precedent for such a variance
request. While an individual request such as this may seem minimal, there will no doubt be
many more such requests as the homes among shorelines are upgraded over time. The City
should consider the cumulative impact of this request, and the potential for overall weakening of
the shoreland ordinances (and the intended benefits these ordinances provided to the lake itself).
,
ShOuld the variance be granted, I recommend attaching provisions for vegetative screening on
the lakeside of the home. Additionally, runoff from the site should be such that untreated
stormwater does not enter the lake (either via direct runoff, or via runoff to the street system).
Various methods of landscaping can significantly reduce the amount of runoff leaving the site."
FINDINGS
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend and the City Council 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 this criteria.
Finding: The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship that would warrant the granting of this
variance. The property owner does have reasonable use as a single family home with a porch
exists on this site. The applicant does have the opportunity to use and enjoy their property
without the additional deck. Approving this variance will increase the size of the nonconformity
of the structure.
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 a petition for a variance is based are not applicable,
generally, to other property within the same zoning classification.
Co
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 purpose of this variance is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income
of the property, but to improve the home physically.

d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding: Staff believes that the hardship is self-created. The proposal for the additional deck is
creating a hardship.
eo
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 granting of the variance will not be detrimental tO the public welfare or injurious
to the neighborhood.
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 variance 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 the neighborhood.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission denies the request for a 14 foot variance from the 75 foot shoreland
setback for the construction 39 foot by 12 foot deck based upon the findings presented in the staff
report and the following:
1. The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship.
2. The applicant has an opportunity to enjoy a reasonable use of the property without a new deck.
3. The proposed deck will increase the size of the nonconforming structure."
Should the Planning Commission choose to grant the variance request, staff would recommend the
following conditions:
1. The applicant shall submit a landscape plan that provides vegetative screen from the lake.
2. The applicant should demonstrate that no additional stormwater should be directed to the lake.
3. The deck may not be enclosed.

The following is a description of the variance requested.
We are requesting a variance of the distance require from the Original High Water Line (O.H.W.L.)
reduced from 75' to 61' so we will be able to update our home including the addition of decks on
the second level of the home. This variance is requested only for the second level decking.
The decks would be on the second level on the north, west and south sides of the house,
see Cert/t~cate of Survey plot drawing, without adding anymore hardcover to the ground nor
changing the existing slab portion that is now on ground level and screened as a porch.
We would like our home to be aesthetically similar to the surrounding houses. (See photographs
of surrounding homes.) All of our neighbors including the majority of the homes on the east
shore of Lake Lucy have decks over looking the lake. The reasoning for these decks and the
request for our variance is to have additional exits and to enjoy this wonderful and peaceful lake.

Written justification of how request complies with the findings for granting a
variance (pursuant to Section 20-58) as follows:
a. That the literal enforcement of this Chapter would cause undue hardship.
~Undue hardship" means 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 five hundred feet of it
(500 feet). The intent of this provision is not to allow a proliferation of
variances, but to recognize that in developed neighborhoods pre-existing
standards exist. Variances that blend with these preexisting standards without
departing from them meet this criteria.
Residing at 7000 Utica Lane in Chanhassen, we are requesting a variance as we feel the literal
enforcement has caused undue hardship. Our home was built in the early 1960's and in
requesting this variance we are looking to update the home including the addition of decks on the
second level of the home. The decks would be on the second level on the north, west and south
sides of the house. (See Certificate of Survey plot drawing.)
In doing this we will neither be adding more hardcover to the ground nor changing the existing
slab portion that is now on ground level and screened as a porch. This addition will impose no
encroachment on neighbors view or site line, nor will it encroach on the lake.
We would like our home to be aesthetically similar to the surrounding houses. (See photographs
of surrounding homes.) All of our neighbors including the majority of the homes on the east
shore of Lake Lucy have decks over looking the lake. The reasoning for these decks and the
request for' our variance is to have additional exits and to enjoy this wonderful and peaceful lake.
Again, in requesting this variance we are hoping to enjoy our home to its fullest extent as the rest
of the lake shore neighbors are able to do. In doing this we are able to keep the impact on the land
and footprint of the addition to a minimum.
b. That the conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not
applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification.
Not applicable.

Written justification of how request complies with the findings for granting a
variance (pursuant to Section 20-58) as follows: (cOntinued)
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the
value of income potential of the parcel of land,
The purpose of the requested variance is to enable us to update our home physically and
aesthetically. Our intent is to reside here indefinitely and we feel these alterations are keeping
within current design standards as well as neighborhood aesthetics.
d. That the alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self created hardship.
The lack of a deck area is not a self-created hardship, the house and surrounding property are in
the same state as they were when purchased in 1994. There have been no improvements since the
purchase in 1994 and the home needs repairing and updating.
e. That 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 of land is located.
The addition of a deck is definitely not detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to the land or
other improvements in the neighborhood. In fact, this project will definitely be an improvement
without changing the character of the area.
f. That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and
air to the adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the
public streets, or increases the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety or
substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
This proposed variation will not impair the supply of light or air, congest the public streets, nor
create the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. This will improve the appearance and
function of the house and support if not improve property values in the neighborhood.

Lake Lucy, 7000 Utica Lane Variance request.
Julie,
As discussed by phone, today, I have some opposition to this lake setback
variance request. My comments:
1. I do not consider their needing a deck as being a.hardship request.
2. They are not increasing the setback distance, but the size of the
structure footprint will be increased. The city should consider the
potential for setting a precedent for such a variance request. While an
individual request such as this may seem minimal, there will no doubt be
many more such requests as the homes along shorelines are upgraded over
time. The city should consider the cumulative impact of this request,
and the potential for overall weakening of the shoreland ordinances (and
the intended benefits these ordinances provide to the lake itself).
3. Should the variance be granted, I recommend attaching provisions for
vegetative screening on the lakeside of the home. Additionally, runoff
from the site should be such that untreated stormwater does not enter
the lake (either via direct runoff, or via runoff to the street system).
Various methods of landscaping can significantly reduce the amount of
runoff leaving the site.
Thank you for providing the opportunity to comment. If you have any
questions please call me at 651-772-7916

Planning Case:

The above described application for approval of a land development proposal was filed with the Chanhassen Planning
Department on September 11, 2001.
In order for us to provide a complete analysis of issues for Planning Commission and City Council review, we would
appreciate your comments and recommendations concerning the impact of this proposal on traffic circulation, existing and
proposed future utility services, storm water drainage, and the need for acquiring public lands or easements for park sites,
street extensions or improvements, and utilities. Where specific needs or problems exist, we would like to have a written
report to this effect from the agency concerned so that we can make a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City
Council.
This application is scheduled for consideration by the Chanhassen Planning Commission on Tuesday November 6, 2001 at
7'00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Chanhassen City Hall. We would appreciate receiving your comments by no later than
