Re: Planning Case #2019-10, Setback Variance and Lot Cover Variance
Dear James and Jean Way:
This letter is to confirm that on September 3, 2019, the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and
Adjustments approved a 6 -foot side yard setback variance and a 3 percent lot coverage variance to
replace the existing attached 19 -foot wide two -car garage with a 25 -foot wide two -car garage and
upper level bonus room. The variance approval is subject to compliance with the following
conditions:
1. The applicant must apply for and receive a building permit.
2. Eaves that are between 2 feet from the property line and less than 5 feet from the property
line require a 1 -hour fire -resistance -rating on the underside of the projection.
3. The applicant must apply for and receive all necessary permits from the watershed
district.
4. Submit a grading plan that illustrates existing and proposed grades (if any), include
drainage arrows that show the direction of stormwater runoff, and include an erosion
control pian.
5. Abandon one of the two driveway accesses off of Minnewashta Parkway serving the
property and submit removal plans that are in accordance with city standards.
6. Edge of the garage foundation must be 5 feet from the south lot line, eaves may project
an additional 1 foot.
7. Garage gutter downspouts may not be oriented to the south.
The variance will be recorded at Carver County on your property. The variance is valid for one year
from the approval date so a building permit for this improvement must be applied before then. If you
have any questions, please contact MacKenzie Young -Walters at 952-227-1132 or
