Screen Porch project
6561 Troendle Circle, Chanhassen MN 55317
Purchased property November of 2009
There were a number of factors that lead to the purchase of the above home, and one of
those was a perfect setting for building a screen porch. Unfortunately, we did not know at
the time of purchase that the property was encumbered by the fact that the builder was
allowed to exceed the hard cover allowance rules set by the city of Chanhassen. This was
brought to our attention after we had a screen porch designed, bid, a contractor hired, and
applied for a permit.
Much to our surprise, and to the surprise of our contractor, the permit application was
refused after the city planners searched the property records and found the hard cover
percentage looked to exceed the City limit of 25 %. At that time we were told a survey
would be required to properly set the percentage of hard cover.
The survey did show the area of our lot is at 15,323 S.F. It also showed that when the
house was built in 1991 the finished product was 4,574sf, which was 4.9% over the
amount of allowable hard cover at the time of construction; therefore, before anyone had
occupied the house, it was encumbered with a hard cover violation.
I think it's fair to assume that anyone purchasing this house would be unaware of the
encumbrance that is attached to it, and I also think that it is fair to assume that anyone
living in this house would want to use the area in the backyard, just off the kitchen, as a
place to enjoy the outdoors. At some point, after the house was built, one of the owners
did take advantage of this area and had a very nice stone patio installed with a stone
stairway accessing the lower backyard. The addition of the stone patio and stairs has
added 437 more SF to the hard cover of this property giving it a total of 5,011 SF and a
percentage of 32.7 hard cover.
As it stands, we purchased a home that has a 32.7% hard cover in a city that allows 25 %.
The original residence when built, occupied 29.9 %, and a previous owner's stone patio
occupies 2.8 %. Let's face it; due to the hard cover encumbrance that came with the
property, we really have nothing to work with except what is currently there. We don't
feel that it is beyond reason to ask that we be allowed to use that area more efficiently.
We would like to remove the stone patio and replace it with a smaller screen porch The
screen porch will be I I7sf smaller and will add up to a reduction of hard cover of 0.8 %.
We have carefully searched our property to see if any other hardcover could be removed
to lower our percentage and there is not 1 square foot that could be removed that is not
essential to the residence.
