CASE #: 2014 -21
BY: KA, TJ
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves an additional 2.5 percent
hardcover variance to permit the construction of a driveway to a single- family home subject to
the conditions of the staff report and adoption of the attached Findings of Fact and Decision."
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a
variance from Section 20 -614 (4) of the Chanhassen City
Code to construct additional hard surface for a driveway
LOCATION: 960 Carver Beach Road (25- 1600850)
APPLICANT: Christopher and Barbara King
OWNER: Christopher and Barbara King
PRESENT ZONING: Residential Single Family (RSF)
2020 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density
ACREAGE: 0.14 acre (6,000 sq. ft.)
DENSITY: NA
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.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting relief in the form of a hardcover variance from the zoning ordinance
to complete the driveway on the lot. Staff is recommending approval of the hardcover variance
subject to the conditions of the report.

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Section 20 -29, Variance and appeals procedures. Requires 3/4`" vote of members present.
Section 20 -56 through 20 -60, Variances.
Section 20 -615 (4), permits a maximum lot coverage of 25 percent.
The property is located in Carver Beach and consists of three lots, which are each 20 feet wide by
100 feet deep. The subject property is 6,000 square feet in area. It is 60 feet in width (90 feet
required) and 100 feet in depth (125 feet required). No variance is required for development on
platted lots provided they comply with the ordinance.
On July 16, 2013, the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Adjustment, approved the
following variance: a 5.8 percent variance (30.8 % hardcover) from the 25 percent hardcover
limitation for the Single- Family Residential District (RSF). This action was appealed to the city
Council. On August 12, 2013 the City Council approved a variance for hard cover of 5.8
percent to allow for a hard cover of 30.8% with the following conditions of approval:
The builder shall provide a tree survey as part of the building permit process. The builder
shall try to preserve the trees at the perimeter of the property.
2. The building shall be limited to the split level or two -story house design.
3. The builder shall apply for a building permit and meet all requirements of said permit.
The variance was based on the following house plan. The proposed house plan was shown as 34
feet by 35 feet with a 16 -foot wide drive.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting to increase the footprint of their driveway at 960 Carver Beach Road.
The property was developed in 2013 after a variance was granted allowing a 5.8% variance from
the allotted hardcover on a single - family residential property. This variance was granted based
upon the need to meet minimum requirements, including a minimum living space of 1,050
square feet (the current house footprint is 1,292 square feet) and a two -stall garage (the current
garage has three stalls at approximately 28 feet by 20 feet). The applicant already exceeded the
minimum requirements when building on the site.
The home was approved for a building permit meeting the required setbacks and the hard surface
requirements. The constructed home is 37 feet by 39 feet (including the garage). The driveway
was tapered down to 10 feet at the property line. A minimal driveway apron was placed at the
entrance to the garage, making it impractical to enter the third stall on the pavement. Staff has
received complaints from the neighbors about parking cars on Carver Beach Road.

The existing garage is not a true three -car garage (see drawing below), it is only 18 feet deep and
includes steps into the house. A three -stall garage does require more driveway surface to access.
The applicants are seeking an impervious coverage of 34 percent with a total of coverage of
2050.5 square feet.

DRAINAGE
Carver Beach is marked by the absence of an adequate storm sewer system and little to no storm
water treatment. This area drains to what is referred to as the West Central Lotus Lake Drainage
area. This is a 330 -acre watershed that drains through a narrow channel between Bighorn Drive
and Big Woods Boulevard. This channel is known to have capacity issues and is subject to side
cutting and incision as a result of the volume of water and flashiness that occurs to flows within
this channel.
This is resulting in property damage and sediment deposition into Lotus Lake. In addition, the
storm sewer at Kerber Boulevard experiences surcharge conditions. In 2007, the City initiated a
study to look at potential solutions to this drainage and flooding problem. In 2008, the City
undertook a significant drainage improvement project. This was the first phase of a three -phase
project. While the system worked per design
and significantly improved the drainage
condition, the system was still overwhelmed
by the June 19, 2014 storm at both the outlet
(above) and east from Kerber through project area (right).

by Carver Beach Road and at Kerber Boulevard shown in the pictures on the preceding page.
There are additional issues directly attributable to runoff within this watershed including erosion
at Penamint Lane, flooding at Pontiac Circle and sinkhole formation in Meadow Green Park.
The applicant's property is in the northwest corner of LL 48.
The applicant has already been granted a variance from the hardcover ordinance to construct
their home. The home that has been constructed exceeds the minimum requirements for a single -
family residential home (1,050 square feet and a two -stall garage). This home is in a drainage
area which feeds Lotus Lake and is known to have several flooding and rate control issues
directly attributable to runoff. For these reasons, the Water Resources Coordinator would
recommend denial of the variance request unless the applicant can mitigate for the increased
volume through some type of infiltration practice which abstracts a volume equal to that volume
which runs off the area of impervious they are over the allowed 25% (i.e. rain garden), or they
use an alternate pervious surface for the construction of the driveway.

CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
II U48
Application of Christopher and Barbara King for a hardcover variance for a single - family home
and driveway on property zoned single - family residential (RSF) — Planning Case #2014 -21.
On August 19, 2014 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 makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The property is currently zoned single - family residential.
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for residential low density
use.
3. The legal description of the property is Lots 998, 999 and 1000, 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 and use of a two -story, single - family home within the
building envelope is a normal use of the property in a residential district, which is in
harmony with the general purposes and intent of the RSF district. Providing adequate
driveway access to the garage on site is a standard accessory use for the property and is
required under the city code. 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.
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 lot size creates practical difficulties in constructing a single- family home.
The site has 60 feet by 100 feet lot dimensions, 6,000 square feet in total. The lot is zoned
Single - Family Residential and has a 25 percent hardcover limitation that leaves the
property with only 1500 square feet available for hardcover surface. In order to meet the
minimum code requirements for reasonable driveway access to the garage, a variance is
necessary.
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 constructed a single - family home on a non - conforming lot of record in a
residential zoning district and is trying to provide adequate access to the garage.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The lot size creates a unique circumstance in constructing a single - family
home with an adequate driveway to the garage. The proposed total impervious surface is
less than most new single- family homes being constructed in the city.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality (similar home
sizes).
Finding: The homes located on either side of the home are both one -story homes with
1646 square feet and 1144 square feet of habitable living area. Another home located
adjacent to the northeast of this lot is a one -and -a -half story home with 1704 square feet
of habitable living area. Granting the proposed variance request will not alter the essential
character of the locality or Carver Beach neighborhood, a residential district.
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 #2014 -21, dated August 19, 2014, prepared by Kate Aanenson, et al, is
incorporated herein.
2
DECISION
The Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves an additional 2.5 percent hardcover
variance (33.3% total hardcover) to permit the construction of a driveway.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments this 19'h day of
August, 2014.

Planning Commission
City of Chanhassen
7700 Market Boulevard
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Planning Division:
We are writing to you in regards to our property located at 960 Carver Beach Road. Our family
recently relocated to the city of Chanhassen from Brooklyn Park in order to live closer to our places
of employment and also to provide a better quality of life for our three children. We were able to
find a vacant lot that was for sale and although the size was small we really wanted to live in
Chanhassen so we purchased it. We have since built our home and are loving the area. One
thing that we are struggling with is that we are not able to fully use our garage due to the
impervious surface allotment that was given to our plot of land. The third stall is impossible to get
into without driving on the grass and even the two stall side is difficult to enter without taking much
precaution to avoid hitting the other car or the side of the garage.
Although all of our neighbors that we have spoken to have been very respectful and kind, they
have let us know their concerns about our driveway. One concern mentioned has to do with
safety. Currently we have been parking one vehicle on the street due to the lack of functionality of
our driveway. This creates problems for passing traffic that we would like to avoid. We are also
concerned about the winter when we are no longer allowed to park on the street. Todd Gerhardt,
City Manger, has been out to the property and has been witness to the safety concerns. He is on
board with increasing the size of the driveway.
We are applying for a variance to the hardcover surface area so that we may use all stalls of our
garage without difficulty. Our hardcover is currently at 30.7% and we are requesting to increase
this to 34 %. On February 12, 2001, Anita Benson (the owner at that time) was approved for a
variance that allowed 36% hardcover but this expired since it was not done within the year. We
are only asking for 34 %. We feel that this is reasonable because it not only addresses the
functionality of the driveway but also the aesthetics and safety.
Regards,
Chris and Barb King

Kate, this response is in regards to Planning Case 2014 -21.
I live at 6771 Penamint Lane which my driveway is immediately across from the
King's residence at 960 Carver Beach
Road. I will be out of town for two weeks starting August 14th or I would attend
your meeting of August 19th. I do
100% support the request for a variance to exceed the impervious surface
limitation inorder to increase the size of
the existing driveway for the following reason's.
1. It causes a major traffic hazard in it's present form, due to resident's
need to park a car on Carver Beach
Road, due to size of existing driveway.
2. The present driveway appearance is downgrading to existing neighbor's home
property value's.
3. Carver Beach Road has heavy car volume and with the only sidewalk along C.B.
Road being on the south side
of the road, Families with small children are alway's crossing across to go
to Carver Beach Park. Any type
of obstruction on the road such as a vehicle may contribute to a unnecessary
incident.
4. We all know the City changed this lot from Unbuildable to Buildable and knew
this was a Substandard size
lot, which was sold to a Realtor, who sold to a builder, who sold to the
Kings—This family with 3 small
children, will be a great asset to the Chanhassen Community and as any
family with children have a need
for a normal size driveway as all of us do.
I appreciate your attention to my letter and hope that you can pass on my
positive vote for this variance to the
Planning Commission.
Thanks in advance.
