PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a two-family dwelling in a district zoned residential
single-family. By ordinance two-family dwellings are not a permitted use in a single-family district.
The purpose of the mother-in-law suite is to house the Graves' aging parents.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Sec. 20-59. Conditions for use of single-family dwelling as two-family dwelling.
A variance for the temporary use of a single-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling may only
be allowed under the following circumstances:
1. There is a demonstrated need based upon disability, age or financial hardship.
2. The dwelling has the exterior appearance of a single-family dwelling, including the
maintenance of one (1) driveway and one (1) main entry.
3. Separate utility services are not established (e.g. gas, water, sewer, etc.).
4. The variance will not be injurious to or adversely affect the health, safety or welfare
of the residents of the city or neighborhood where the property is situated and will be
in keeping with the spirit and intent of this chapter.
BACKGROUND
On October 10, 2003 the applicant requested a building permit to tear down an existing two-car
garage to excavate underneath for the construction of an office and storage area. The applicant also
proposed to construct an additional two-car garage. The permit was approved and issued on
October 24, 2003 for the construction of an additional two-car garage and basement addition.
Revised plans for the basement and garage addition, including a proposed future use of an
apartment above the garages were submitted to the city. The permit contained a note stating that
Planning Department approval is required before the construction of a mother-in-law suite. An
inspection took place on March 31, 2004 where a "Stop Do Not Proceed" order was posted for
an addition above the garage that was not approved by the city and appeared to have the
characteristics of a separate dwelling. The applicant was notified to contact the Building and
Planning Departments about the addition above the garage. After further inspection, staff
determined the addition above the garage to be a separate dwelling unit which is not a permitted
use in the Residential Single Family (RSF) district. The applicant stated they intended to seek a
variance to allow a two-family dwelling in a single-family district. On April 5, 2004 the
applicant was told they can proceed at their own risk pending variance approval. Additionally, if
the variance was not approved, items that define it as a dwelling unit must be removed.
The purpose of the mother-in-law suite is to house the Graves' parents in time of need. Laura
Graves' parents live outside of the country and have been missionary doctors for over thirty (30)
years in a rural village in Honduras, Central America. They do not have a salary or set income.
When they visit the United States often their stay is from several weeks to several months.
Recently Laura Graves' father, who is 65, suffered a stroke that affected his optical nerve. Laura
Graves' mother, who is in her sixties as well, needs assistance with his care. The applicant
demonstrates the need for a mother-in-law suite based upon disability, age, and the financial
hardship of Paul and Laura Graves' parents.
Planning Case No. 04-16
May 4, 2004

The proposed mother-in-law suite is located above the existing and proposed two-car garages
and basement addition. The suite is a one bedroom one bath (1,100 sq. ft.) suite that proposes to
utilize a full kitchen, living room, and a shared deck. The proposed addition maintains the
appearance of a single-family dwelling, including the maintenance of one (1) driveway. Three
entrances serve the mother-in-law suite, the main entrance to the home and one of two entrances
from the garage. Planning staff determined that one of the entrances from the garage appears to
serve as a separate, main entrance to the suite. The criteria for permitting a two-family dwelling
in a single-family district require one main entrance to the home. If additional main entrances
service the home, it does not meet the standards for approval. With a separate entrance to the
unit through the garage, the suite could be considered a separate, independent living unit.
The Chanhassen City Code defines a dwelling unit as one (1) or more rooms which are
connected together as a single unit constituting complete, separate and independent living
quarters for one or more persons, physically separated from any other room or dwelling unit
which may be in the same building and containing permanent cooking, eating, sleeping and
sanitary facilities for the exclusive use of a single family maintaining a household. (7)(20)
The Building Department determined that the mother-in-law suite does not constitute a two-
family dwelling as identified in the building code because the dwelling units are not completely
independent. The mother-in-law suite and the existing home share a mud room, laundry room,
and a four (4) car garage.
The applicant stated the utilities will be connected to the existing home and separate utility
services will not be established (e.g. gas, water, sewer, etc.).
The variance will not be injurious to or adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of the
residents of the city or the neighborhood where the property is situated and will be in keeping
with the spirit and intent of the neighborhood.
If the variance were to be approved, staff believes the mother-in-law suite could be used as a
separate living quarters. A future door could be placed between the proposed mud room and the
existing laundry room making it a separate dwelling unit, in addition to a separate main entry
that services the mother-in-law suite from the garage.
FINDINGS
The Planning Commission 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 criterion.
Planning Case No. 04-16
May 4, 2004
Page 4
Finding: The literal enforcement of the ordinance does not create a hardship, since a
reasonable use of the property can be maintained. The applicant can eliminate the separate
main entrance to the mother-in-law suite from the garage and still have reasonable use of the
property.
bo
The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to
other properties within the same zoning classification.
Finding: In reviewing neighboring properties' surveys, all properties maintain the
appearance of a single-family dwelling. There are two cases where applicants requested a
mother-in-law suite in a single-family dwelling; both were in the basement of the existing
home. The applicant for Variance 04-16 is proposing to construct a separate living quarter
above the garage portion of the home with a separate entrance.
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 addition will increase the value of the home; however, that is not the primary
intention of the applicant. The intended usage of the proposed mother-in-law suite is to
serve the aging parents who have medical needs and do not have a steady salary or set
income.
d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding: The hardship is self-created by the homeowner; since a reasonable use of the
property can be maintained. The applicant can eliminate the separate main entrance to the
mother-in-law suite from the garage and still have reasonable use of the property.
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 variance if approved will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
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 variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property. The addition is located in the same location of the existing garage west of
the adjacent property and out of site of the front and rear entrances, nor will it substantially
increase the congestion of the public streets as it is an addition to a private residence.

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
IN RE:
The application of Paul and Laura Graves, 8634 Valley View Court
Variance No. 04-16
On May 4, 2004, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting to
consider the application of Paul and Laura Graves for a Variance to (Section 20-59 of the City
Code) to allow use of a single-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling (mother-in-law suite).
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed development which was
preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning Commission heard testimony from all
interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
The literal enforcement of the ordinance does not create a hardship, since a reasonable
use of the property can be maintained. The applicant can eliminate the separate main
entrance to the mother-in-law suite from the garage and still have reasonable use of the
property.
In reviewing neighboring properties' surveys, all properties maintain the appearance of a
single-family dwelling. There are two cases where applicants requested a mother-in-law
suite in a single-family dwelling; both were in the basement of the existing home. ']'he
applicant for Variance 04-16 is proposing to construct a separate living quarter above
the garage portion of the home with a separate entrance.
The addition will increase the value of the home; however, that is not the primary
intension of the applicant. The intended usage of the proposed mother-in-law suite is to
serve the aging parents who have medical needs and do not have a steady salary or set
income.
The hardship is self-created by the homeowner; since a reasonable use of the property
can be maintained. The applicant can eliminate the separate main entrance to the
mother-in-law suite from the garage and still have reasonable use of the property.
The variance if approved will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property. The addition is located in the same location of the existing garage west of the
adjacent property and out of site of the front and rear entrances, nor will it substantially
increase the congestion of the public streets as it is an addition to a private residence.
RECOMMENDATION
"Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission approve Variance 04-16 to allow use of a single-family dwelling as a
two-family dwelling (mother-in-law suite) located at 8634 Valley View Court, zoned RSF, with
the following conditions:
1) Permits must be obtained for additional work that has not yet been permitted and revised

Dear City of Chanhassen or to whom it may concern;
The purpose of the mother-in-law suite is to house our
parents in time of need.
My parents (Laura's) live outside of the country and have
been missionary doctors for over 30 years to a rural village
in Honduras, Central America. They do not have a salary
or a set income. When they visit here in the United States
often their stay is from several weeks to several months.
Recently my father, who is 65, had a stroke which has
affected his optical nerve. My mother, who is in her sixties
as well, needs assistance with his care.
We do not at any time intend to use this space as a rental
unit.
Thank you for your consideration.
