CASE #: 2014 -33
BY: AF, RG, DI, TJ, ML, JM
"The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments denies the accessory structure variance
request, directs the demolition of the expansion and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and
Decision."
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The property owner is requesting a variance to construct a 38.5 -
foot by 48 -foot horse shelter expansion (1,848 square feet) on the existing "pole barn," and an 11-
foot by 24 -foot day shelter (264 square feet).
LOCATION: 610 West 96"' Street fl�*
(NW '/ Sec. 25, Twp. 116, Range 23)
APPLICANT: Robert & Christin E. Boecker
610 West 961' Street
Chanhassen, MN 55317
PRESENT ZONING: Agriculture Estate District (A -2)
2020 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density
(Net density 1.2 — 4.0 units per acre)
ACREAGE: 4.28 acres 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 a variance to construct a 1,848 square -foot horse shelter and a 264
square -foot day shelter. Currently, the property has 12,706 square feet of accessory structures.
The maximum accessory structure area allowed for this property is 1,000 square feet. Approving
the applicant's request would put the property at 13,818 square feet of accessory structures.

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Chapter 20, Article II, Division 3, Variances
Chapter 20, Article IX, "A -2" Agricultural Estate District
Chapter 20, Article XIII, General Supplemental Regulations
Section 20 -904. Accessory Structures
The house on the property was originally constructed in 1965. Since then, there have been
numerous expansions and remodels to the house. The subject property currently has four accessory
structures that have a combined area of 12,706 square feet. Below is a list of accessory structures
that have been constructed on the property.
1. In 1986, a permit was issued for the 24' x 40' garage.
2. In 2000, the city issued a permit for a 48' x 72' building.
3. In 2002, the city issued a building permit for a 48' x 100' steel arch storage building.
4. No building permit application can be found for the 36' x 96'
"Agricultural Building ". Site Conditions
The current zoning ordinance limits detached accessory structures to a
maximum of 1,000 square feet. This ordinance limiting the area of accessory
structures in Agricultural Districts was adopted in May of 2007 in response to
contractors purchasing property and building accessory structures to house
their businesses. City Code prohibits the use of accessory structures for home
occupations.
At the time of the ordinance amendment, there were discussions regarding
reasonable requests for structures in excess of 1,000 square feet to be used for a
legitimate agricultural use. Minnesota State Statute 17.81 — Definitions,
Subdivision 4 defines agricultural use as "use of land for the production of
livestock, dairy animals, dairy products, poultry and poultry products, fur
bearing animals, horticultural and nursery stock which is under chapter 18H,
fruit of all kinds, vegetables, forage, grains, bees, and apiary products. " It was
decided after the discussions that requests for accessory structures in excess of
1,000 square -feet would be reasonable if based on a legitimate agricultural use.
Proposed
Of
The stated intended use of the accessory structure to be located on the subject
property is for storage of hay and as a horse stable, which is a permitted
accessory use. However, the applicant also runs a contracting business for landscaping. Once
the building is constructed, it will be difficult or impossible for the city to regulate that the
buildings are not used for the commercial business instead of the approved stable use.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing variance to construct a 38.5 -foot by 48 -foot expansion on the existing
"pole barn", 1,848 square -foot horse shelter, and an 11 -foot by 24 -foot, 264 square -foot day shelter.

November 18, 2014
Page 3 of 5
The property has four existing accessory structures, a 40.2' x 24.3' garage (964.8 square feet), a
72.2' x 48.1' pole bam (3,472.82 square feet), a 26' x 96' Agricultural Building (2,496 square feet),
and a 48' x 100' storage building (4,800 square feet).
The proposed building expansion contains large overhead doors on the eastern elevation which
repeats the building function of the southern part of the building (see Architectural Plan on next
page). Such doors are not necessary for a horse stable and will permit the use of the building for
equipment storage consistent with contractor's yards or repair bays for automotive repair.
Neither of these uses is permitted in the A -2 district.
Architectural Plan
In researching the property, staff discovered that a contracting business is associated with this
location: RTB Landscaping, Inc. In addition, three other businesses are linked to the property:
Boecker Properties, LLC, Cheap Thrills Motorsports and Devaan — Sellers Industries, LLC.
Staff reviewed city records to determine if any structures in proximity to the subject site were
constructed after the accessory structure limitation was adopted in 2007. In December of 2007,
the Planning Commission approved a 177 square -foot variance to exceed the 1,000 square -foot
maximum for accessory structures. The variance was to allow for a 452 square -foot addition to
an existing 725 square -foot detached garage. In 2012, City Council approved variances for 620
West 96th Street structure to construct a 2,560 square -foot accessory structure, and 720 West
96th Street to reconstruct and expand by 520 square feet an existing accessory structure, which is
a 40 -foot by 37 -foot building with a 40 -foot by 8 -foot covered walkway /lean-to area (1,800
square feet total). In 2012, the city denied a request for a 7,120 square -foot accessory structure at
760 West 96111 Street.
There was also a structure constructed sometime after 2005, without record of a building permit.
It is unclear if this structure was constructed before or after the adoption of the zoning ordinance
in 2007.

November 18, 2014
Page 5 of 5
As can be seen from the aerial photo on the previous page, this neighborhood has numerous
accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. Staff is concerned with the large size of the
structure. Between the existing storage building on the property as well as the proposed
expansion, what is the appropriate amount of accessory structures necessary for the horse
operation? As a comparison, the Degler farm, located on 40 acres at the southeast corner of
Lyman Boulevard and Adubon Road, has a total of 38,155 square feet of accessory structures.
At what point do the sizes of the accessory structures create a concentration of properties that in
the future may be used for business operations rather than storage for agricultural of residential
uses? This concern originates from the possibility that home occupations/businesses may be
conducted out of accessory structures. Home occupations/businesses are a common cause of
complaint from residents. They often create an excess in parking, traffic and noise.
As the property is less than ten acres the agricultural exemption from building code requirements
does not apply. Building permit(s), plan review and approvals are required for the proposed
building.
RECOMMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the variance request, direct the applicant
to demolish the "horse shelter" expansion and adopt the attached Findings of Fact and Decision.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
IN RE:
Application of Robert & Christin E. Boecker for a variance from the 1,000 square -foot accessory
structure limitation to allow for a 1,848 square -foot horse shelter and a 264 square -foot day shelter
on property zoned Agricultural Estate District (A2) — Planning Case 2014 -33.
On November 18, 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 Agricultural Estate District (A2).
2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density.
3. The legal description of the property is as follows:
E 155' OF W 1085' S W t/4 NW '/4 EXC: P -22 MNDOT R -O -W PLAT NO 10 -22
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 subject site is zoned Agricultural Estate District (A2). The purpose of the
request is to exceed the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure limitation to provide a
stable and day shelter for horses. The subject property currently has four accessory
structures that have a combined area of 12,706 square feet. Upon review, it was
discovered that a contracting business is associated with this location: RTB Landscaping,
Inc. In addition, three other businesses are linked to the property: Boecker Properties,
LLC, Cheap Thrills Motorsports and Devaan — Sellers Industries, LLC. Using accessory
structures for non - agricultural uses or residential storage is not keeping in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of the A2 district.
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: Currently, the property owners have reasonable use of the subject property
within the Agricultural Estate District, A2. The property has 12,706 square feet of
accessory structure space available for storage. The addition of a 1,848 square -foot horse
shelter and a 264 square -foot day shelter is not reasonable since there is currently
sufficiently large accessory structures that can be converted for agriculture uses and
storage.
c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone.
Finding: The stated intent of the request is for a horse stable and day shelter.
d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner.
Finding: The owner currently has 12,706 square feet of accessory structure space.
There are no circumstances unique to the property that preclude its agricultural use. This
does not constitute a unique hardship not created by the landowner since a structures in
excess of 1,000 square feet exist on the site. Were all non - agricultural uses removed
from the existing structures, sufficiently large structures exist that can be used for a horse
stable and day shelter.
e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Finding: There are several properties in proximity to the subject property that have
accessory structures in excess of 1,000 square feet. These accessory structures were
constructed prior to the 2007 ordinance amendment limiting accessory structure size and
are considered to be legal nonconformities. The City also granted variances for two
structures in excess of 1,000 square feet in 2012. However, this area is guided for
residential low density uses in the future. Such uses do not require accessory structures
in excess of 1,000 square feet.
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 -33, dated November 18, 2014, prepared by Drew Ingvalson, et al,
is incorporated herein.
DECISION
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustment,
denies Planning Case #2014 -33, a variance from the 1,000 square -foot accessory structure
limitation to allow a 1,848 square -foot horse stable and 264 square -foot day shelter on property
zoned Agricultural Estate District, A2."
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 185 day of November, 2014.

Zoning variance request
Robert and Christin Boecker
610 West 961h Street
Chanhassen, MN 55317
We are requesting a zoning variance to allow us to erect an 1848 sq.ft. horse shelter on our A2 parcel of
land. We need a variance because the current ordinance (changed in 2007) limits structures to 1000
sq.ft. This is not adequate to properly house our animals, trailer, tack and feed. When we purchased
our land in 1997, we proceeded to constructed agricultural style buildings to house our personal
property, such as our motor coach, vintage cars, motorcycles and snowmobiles. The ability to construct
such buildings and raise animals was a major factor in choosing to purchase our A2 residential low -
density property. Which is slated to remain residential low- density per the 2030 comprehensive plan, so
a variance in this case is consistent with the 2030 plan. We are now financially ready to take the step
into raising and caring for approved animals. Our hopes are that our 2 year old son will develop an
interest in raising and caring for animals as he grows older. We think this will be way better for him than
Facebook Farmville or some animal app on his future phone
The shelter is proposed to be an extension of the existing permitted post frame structure. Therefore it
is being constructed of the identical material and by the company that erected the original structure.
And seeing that the existing structure fits the aesthetics of the area, the addition will not alter the
character of the locality.
We have already acquired a fence permit and are in the process of getting a day shelter permit
approved by the city. We would like to get the shell of the shelter constructed before it snows, so that
we can finish the interior over the winter and be ready for the animals in the spring.
We would also like to request the ability to raise llamas, goats or sheep, should we decide to go that
route in the future.
T you for your time,
Robert Boecker

To whom it may concern.
Bob Boecker never had any intent to put animals in the new addition. His intent is to rent out to a individual that
has classic cars or car collection that
had looked into buyng a garage at the classic car place in west Chanhassen and apparantly they worked out
some kind of deal to put this up.
It's also my understanding that the southern two bays are rented out to some kind of motorcycle repair shop,
cars come and go, even UPS delivers up there.
Also I was told he already has a shed or a hoop barn thing that he never pulled a permit for. How did that go
through?
I do not like complaining but the arraogancy displayed at the block party was enough. He even stated that he
knew he would get caught but was hoping that the sides of the building would have been put up first and
also that there is no way it's coming down (I got a Lawyer). As one person said he has a mini mall up there. If
all this was for his own use no one would have a problem, but he seems to have gone a little extreme this time.
He will buy the animals and put up a fence to prove his point but that was never the intent. I do not know if this
is any use as I have to remain anonymous. I do not desire any hard feelings or ramifications from some of the
neighbors.
Some see this as a win if he gets this passed as they can build additional out buildings also.

Zoning Permits A Zoning Permit is required for the construction of structures that do not require building permits.
The purpose of such a review is to ensure the improvement meets standard zoning requirements
such as setbacks, hard surface coverage, structure height, etc.
Structures Requiring a Zoning Permit
• Sport & tennis courts
• Patios & sidewalks
• One -story detached accessory structures used as tool or storage sheds, playhouses, and
similar uses, no to d 120 square fee in building area
• Retaining walls less than four (4) feet in height.
• Docks
• Agricultural buildings
NOTE: An inspection may be required to verify zoning compliance. A minimal fee will be required
for inspections, if necessary.
Application Procedure
Contact City Hall at (952) 227 -1100 and ask to be directed to the appropriate staff member
regarding your project. In some cases it may be necessary to meet with city staff in order to
receive a thorough review. By submitting a survey and building plans, and simply speaking one-
on -one with staff, it is possible to complete a Zoning Permit in a short time frame, usually within a
matter of days. Any zonina permit aoolicat'on that fails to meet zoning ordinance requirements will
be denied.
Once a Zoning Permit is complete AND approved, the documents will be placed in the property's
building file. This will stand as proof that the property owner has done their due diligence by
ensuring the improvement project complies with Chanhassen City Code.

Kristen,
When you stopped by asking for signatures for your shed addition it brought up some memories. Even
though I didn't sign your petition, I wanted you to know that I support your project. I just didn't want
our names on the petition for two reasons.
My husband and I have gone through the variance process with the city. We too were denied approval
by the city, but were lucky enough to have the planning commission approve our variance. I really
empathized with you for what you have already been through and what you still have ahead of you.
I also wanted to tell you about a situation that happened to me. We were required to do a site
inspection for the city to complete their report. My husband was out of town so I had to meet with
them. I met with Robert Generous of the planning department. At first the inspection seemed fine, but
then it took a new tone. He looked at me and said, "You know, there are other ways to get this
approved ". I felt very uncomfortable and asked him to leave. I never told my husband about this and I
did not attend the planning commission meeting either.
The second reason is that we are planning another project that will require a variance and I do not want
our names included.
I just wanted you to be aware of what happened to me, but again I would like to remain anonymous.
Sincerely,
Your neighbor

COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY OF USAGE — ALTERNATIVE OPTION.
As a last resort to avoid the removal of the existing structure. The owner proposes the following
option that addresses the concerns of City Staff.
Alter the exterior finish of the structure so that it is not an enclosed structure. Remove all doors
windows and a portion of siding from the North and West elevations. The building then becomes an
open air canopy space. This would provide complete transparency as to the use of the structure. At
any point the city could simply drive by and see how the building is being used. This option still allows
for two horse stalls and would eliminate the need for the proposed day shelter. The building would
still function to store hay and feed. A horse trailer could still be stored protected from the elements.
The structure would also be inspected yearly by the city, as a stable permit is needed each year. This
option would not be our first choice, but is acceptable to us as a compromise between parties.
