PC Staff Report 10-02-2012PC DATE: October 2, 2012 CC DATE: October 22, 2012 CITY OF CHANHASSEN REVIEW DEADLINE: CASE #: 2012 -14 BY: KA 1 PROPOSED MOTION: "The Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, approves Planning Case #2012 -14 for a variance to the 150 -foot shoreland setback requirement as shown in plans dated received August 22, 2012, and subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report; and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The developer is requesting a variance to the shoreland setback to build an addition and an attached garage to the existing structure. The current home as well as the proposed additions is nonconforming to the shoreland setback requirement. LOCATION: 7250 Minnewashta Parkway APPLICANT: Mark and Donna Malinowski PRESENT ZONING: Residential Single Family (RSF) 2020 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density (1.2 - 4 units per Acre) ACREAGE: 5.5 acres DENSITY: NA LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION - MAKING: 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. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PROPOSAL /SUMMARY The existing home is located on a riparian lot adjacent to Lake St. Joe. This lake is classified as a Natural Environment Lake according to the City's Shoreland Management District. The applicant is requesting a variance to the city's shoreland regulation for the purpose of building an addition to the home with a new attached garage. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Shoreland Management District Sec. 20 -480. - Zoning and water supply /sanitary provisions. (a) Lot area and width standards. The lot area (in square feet) and lot width standards (in feet) for single, duplex, triplex and quad residential lots created after the date of enactment of this ordinance for the lake and river /stream classification are as follows: Planning Commission Malinowski Variance Request – Planning Case 2012 -12 October 2, 2012 Page 2 of 5 (a)(1) Sewered lakes — Natural Environment: Sec. 20 -481. - Placement, design, and height of structure.

There are other structures located on the property including a carport, garage and a shed. There are no building records for the house or any of the other structures located on the property. City records show that the house was connected to city sewer and water in 1975. The site contains an older home that was not a part of any subdivision. It is believed to have held a landscaping business but there are no city records of this use. The ordinary high water (OHW) mark for Lake St. Joe is 945.2. The Natural Environment Lake setback is 150 feet from the OHW. The applicant has shown the setback to the existing home at 68 feet from the edge of the wetland contour of 945.7. The city code requires the setback be measured from the OHW. Therefore, the home is setback further than what is shown on the survey. The entire shoreland of Lake St. Joe is considered to be Manage 1 Wetland. The setback from this wetland is 55 feet, which includes a 15 -foot buffer. BACKGROUND Planning Commission Malinowski Variance Request — Planning Case 2012 -12 October 2, 2012 Page 3 of 5 Lowest opening to any riparian lot has to be three feet above the OHW. The applicant has submitted a survey that shows the front door opening is at 950.80, which meets city ordinance. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The site is approximately 5.5 acres and is accessed by Minnewashta Parkway. The site slopes from Minnewashta Parkway 35 feet down to the lake shore. The soil types in the area consist of hills and ridges and are erodible soils. There is a significant amount of vegetation on the site. There is an older railroad tie -type retaining wall to hold the hill located behind the house. The lower portion of the retaining wall will be removed to accommodate the garage and addition to the house. 944 Contours Planning Commission Malinowski Variance Request — Planning Case 2012 -12 October 2, 2012 Page 4of5 ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting a variance to construct an addition and a new garage onto an existing non - conforming structure. The existing home sits entirely within the 150 -foot required shoreland setback. In addition, the proposed additions also fall with the required setback. The applicant has used the setback to the edge of wetland which was not delineated at 945.7. The measurement should be from the OHW which is 945.2. Therefore, the applicant's setback will likely be closer than the standard. Staff has identified the 940 contour on the aerial map. The true setback is somewhere between the 945.7 and the 944 elevation. Proposed Addition _ Aso it 371 sq. ft. Proposed 2 oaf Garage 576 sq. ft. I Story House n of stoop at first floor tly elevat ion = 950.80/ / \ / �� Survey line Ur REGENT AU6 22 204 Because the home is existing and the additions are behind the existing structure, staff is using the more conservative numbers per the applicant's submittal. The applicant's survey has the house at 68 feet from the wetland edge. The house addition is 96 feet from the 945.7 contour and the garage is 90 feet from the 947.5 contour. The proposed addition is 371 square feet. The applicant is proposing to use the additional space as a sewing, dining, and a bonus room. This addition will be two stories (20 feet) and meets the height requirements. The new garage is 576 square feet and will be located on the southeast side of the home. There is a carport on the property that will be removed to create the space for the new garage. The building envelope of the site contains a significant amount of vegetation. The proposed addition and garage does not appear to have a significant impact on the existing vegetation. The existing retaining wall is proposed to be replaced with a block wall. Erosion control measures need to be employed to ensure the stability of the slope. Because the topography on the site, the steep slope to the lake, and the existing retaining wall, it is difficult to put any additions to the existing home without a variance. To meet city ordinances the home would have to be removed and built closer to Minnewashta parkway.

On October 2, 2012, the Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed variance preceded by published and mailed notice. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments now 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 use. 3. The legal description of the property is as follows: South 900 feet of tract described as: that part of Government Lots 1 and 3 lying north of a line drawn parallel with and 726 feet north of southerly line of Government Lot 3 and west of the centerline of County Road 3, except that portion lying within the right -of -way of County Road 3, Section 8, Township 116, Range 023, Carver County, Minnesota. 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 granting of the variance is in keeping with the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance. The construction of the addition and garage are a normal use associated with a single - family home. 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 practical difficulty with the addition is that the existing home currently sits within the shoreland setback. The proposed additions are located behind the home and not close to the lakeshore. However, additions will still be located within the setback requirements. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The purpose of the variance is not based upon economic considerations, but is to permit the owner to enjoy the property in a reasonable manner. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The owner purchased a property which had an existing home. The home was built in 1961 and the owner is proposing to make some improvements to the home. The removal of the existing carport will reduce existing structures in the setback zone. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: The construction of the additions will be screened from the lake and are considered a normal use associated with a single- family home, and would be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. 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 #2012 -14, dated October 2, 2012, prepared by Kate Aanenson, et al., is incorporated herein. DECISION "The Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves Planning Case #2012 -14 for a variance to the 150 -foot Shoreland Management Setback as shown in plans dated August 22, 2012 for the construction of a home addition and garage on property zoned Single - Family Residential (RSF)."

See the attached written statement required by City Code Section 20 -58. 2. The legal description of the property is: The South 900 feet of the following described tract: That part of Government Lots 1 and 3,., Section 8, Township 116, Range 23, Carver County, Minnesota, lying North of a line drawn parallel with and distant 726 feet North of the South line of said Government Lot 3, and West of the center line of County Road 3, as now laid out and constructed, excepting that portion thereof lying within the right - of -way limits of said County Road 3. 3. As noted on the plans submitted with this variance request, the addition and attached garage are on the side of the existing residence opposite from Lake St. Joe and therefore, the non - conformity with regard to the setback is not being increased by this variance.. City Code Section 20 -72(d) provides that an expansion or addition may be made to a detached single - family dwelling on a non - conforming lot so long as the non - conformity is not increased. 4. In the Chanhassen City Code, the ordinary high water mark of Lake St. Joe is shown as 945.2 feet. City Code Section 20- 481(e)(1) requires the lowest floor level to be at least 3 feet above the ordinary high water mark. As noted on the survey submitted with the variance application, the lowest point of the residence on the property is 950.80 feet which is 5.60 feet above the ordinary high water mark listed in the City Code and 5.12 feet above the current elevation of Lake St. Joe as shown on the survey. Since the property slopes upward from Lake St. Joe to Minnewashta Parkway, the remainder of the residence is at least this far above the elevation of Lake St. Joe. 5. If granted, the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the use to which the property is put (single - family residential) will remain consistent with applicable zoning ordinances and the improvements to the property will promote rather than detract from the productive use of the property. CITY OF CHANHASSEN RECEIVED CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT SCANNED WRITTEN STATEMENT REQUIRED BY CHANHASSEN CITY CODE SECTION 20 -58 1. 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. The single - family home on the property was constructed in its present location in 1959 and added to in 1976 by the prior owners before the current 150 foot setback requirement was established. As a result, the home lies entirely within the 150 foot setback. The requested variance for the addition and attached garage are in harmony with the provisions of Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code because the proposed variance will retain the single - family residential nature of the property, will not impair or affect adjacent properties in any manner, will not unreasonably affect the property values within the area, or in any other manner affect the health, safety or welfare of the citizens of Chanhassen. The granting of the variance will promote the productive use and improvement of the single - family residence located on the property in a manner consistent with the Chanhassen zoning ordinance. The requested variance is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan because the improvements in no way change the use to which the property is put and such use is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. 2. 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. The practical difficulty in complying with the 150 foot setback from Lake St. Joe as provided in the zoning ordinance results from the existing home having been built prior to the establishment of the setback and entirely within the 150 foot setback. The construction of the addition and the attached garage is a reasonable use of the property by the current owners, and such use would not be permitted without the requested variance. The improvements are to be built away from Lake St. Joe and do not increase the encroachment of the residence into the setback area. This is certainly a reasonable use of the property which would otherwise not be permitted by the City's zoning ordinance. The variance is necessary to permit the owners to make improvements to their property. 3. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. CITY OF CHANHASSEN RECEIVED AUG 2 2 7,017 CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT SCANNED The purpose of the variance request is not based on economic considerations. It is based on the 150 foot setback requirement placed on this property after the home was built. There are no economic considerations affecting this variance request. 4. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. The current situation, and the need for the variance, was not created by the current owners and is truly unique. The current 950 foot setback was put in place long after the home was constructed. This situation was not created by the Malinowskis. Compliance with the 950 feet setback would create a hardship in that it would result in the Malinowskis never being able to improve their property. This situation was not created by the Malinowskis and has been in place since they purchased the property in 9988. 5. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variance will not negatively affect or alter the character of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is an area of single- family homes. If anything, the granting of the variance, and the improvements to be made by the Malinowskis will enhance the character of the neighborhood resulting in increased value for the property and surrounding properties. In addition, the home is built at the bottom of a large hill with a long driveway from Minnewashta Parkway. The property is only visible to people across the lake. 6. Variances shall be granted for earth - sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 14, when in harmony with this chapter. Not applicable. No variance for earth - sheltered construction is being requested. 2 SCANNED SOUTH ELEVATION SCALE: 3/16 " -I' W ORTH ELEVATION .LE: 3116"-l'-O" g e a� �I p03`nYa 0 z» ¢ arcs z � 0 X 3 0 Z �I t L � V r7 vJ N LU Q v Z„ Q C O N M `o N i j � tp a CITY OF CHANHASSEN RECEIVED 2 2 2012 CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT EAST ELEVATION SCALE: 3/16' =i' -d' 0 1 e SECOND FLOOR PLAN SCALE: 1/4 " =1' -0" NOTES: ALLANIT. & EXT.

Rezonings, land use and code amendments take a simple majority vote of the City Council except rezonings and land use amendments from residential to commercial /industrial. • Minnesota State Statute 519.99 requires all applications to be processed within 60 days unless the applicant waives this standard. Some applications due to their complexity may take several months to complete. Any person wishing to follow an item through the process should check with the Planning Department regarding its status and scheduling for the City Council meeting. • A neighborhood spokesperson /representative is encouraged to provide a contact for the city. Often developers are encouraged to meet with the neighborhood regarding their proposal. Staff is also available to review the project with any interested person(s). • Because the Planning Commission holds the public hearing, the City Council does not. Minutes are taken and any correspondence regarding the application will be included in the report to the City Council. If you wish to have something to be included in the report, please contact the Planning Staff person named on the notification.
