LOCATION: 7727 Frontier Trail APPLICANT: Paul Pope, Paul Pope Builders LLC 5456 46th Ave. South Minneapolis, MN 55417 PRESENT ZONING: “RSF” – Single-Family Residential District 2040 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density ACREAGE: .2 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 an 11-foot 9-inch front yard setback variance and a 6.35 percent lot cover variance to construct a detached garage on the property. The property does not currently have a garage and the applicant is looking to improve the property by providing a location for the indoor storage of automobiles. The applicant has stated that the garage will conform to the character of the existing house and neighborhood. The applicant has noted that the City Code requires a two-car garage for single-family homes and that garages are present on all of the surrounding properties. They have also stated that the lot’s substandard size combined with the existing location and size of the principal structure make it impossible to add the garage without a variance. PROPOSED MOTION: “The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves an 11 foot 9 inch front yard setback variance and a 7 percent lot cover variance for the construction of a detached garage, subject to the Conditions of Approval and adopts the attached Findings of Facts and Decision.” 7727 Frontier Trail Variance Request September 1, 2020 Page 2 It has been staff’s practice to support variance requests for modestly sized two-car garages on substandard lots where no garage is currently present. Staff believes that the proposed 22-foot by 24-foot garage is reasonably sized and that its proposed setback from the front lot line represents an acceptable balance between minimizing the amount of impervious surface on the property and providing adequate driveway length and design. For these reasons, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the requested variances. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 20, Article II, Division 3. Variances Chapter 20, Article XII, “RSF” Single-Family Residential District Section 20-615, Lot Requirements and Setbacks. Chapter 20, Article XXIII, Division 1, Generally Section 20-905, Single-Family dwellings Chapter 20, Article XXIII, Division 1, Generally Section 20-908, Yard regulations Chapter 20, Article XXIV, Division 2, Parking and Loading Section 20-1122, Access and driveways BACKGROUND County records indicate that the house was built in 1906. Several permits for interior work are on file with the city; however, no permits associated with building or locating the structures on the property are present. SITE CONSTRAINTS Zoning Overview The property is zoned Single-Family Residential District. This zoning classification requires lots to be a minimum of 15,000 square feet, have front and rear yard setbacks of 30 feet, side yard setbacks of 10 feet, and limits parcels to a maximum of 30 percent lot cover, of which no more than 25 percent can be impervious surface. Corner lots are required to meet the required 30-foot front yard setback along all street frontages, but the remaining lot lines are subject to side yard setbacks. Residential structures are limited to 35 feet in height. The lot is 8,819 square feet and has 1,756 square feet (19.9 percent) lot cover. The existing house has a non-conforming 7-foot front yard setback along the west lot line and a non-conforming 4- foot front yard setback along the south lot line. There is an existing shed on the property that has a non-conforming 4.7-foot side yard setback from the north lot line. The existing structures meet all other requirements of the City Code. Bluff Creek Corridor This is not encumbered by the Bluff Creek Overlay District. 7727 Frontier Trail Variance Request September 1, 2020 Page 3 Bluff Protection There are not bluffs on the property. Floodplain Overlay This property is not within a floodplain. Shoreland Management The property is not located within a Shoreland Protection District. Wetland Protection There is not a wetland located in the development site. NEIGHBORHOOD City Lots of Chanhassen The original plat for this area was recorded in October of 1887 and was replated in March of 1896. Over the following century, many of the original lots have been altered through vacations, combinations, or sales. Many of the resulting lots are substandard or have atypical shapes. The plat and many of its lot combinations predate the City of Chanhassen and since their creation, a zoning code was passed. The zoning code was amended numerous times, and buildings were built, demolished, and rebuilt to meet the standards and needs of the existing ordinances. The result of this is that many properties in the area do not meet one or more of the requirements of the city’s zoning code, and a significant number of properties are either non-conforming uses or are operating under a variance.

Both the lot and the home predate the city and its subdivision and zoning ordinance. As a result, the lot is substandard with a frontage of 73.7 feet, a depth of 119.74 feet, and a lot area of 8,819 square feet, instead of the 90 feet of frontage, 125 feet of depth, and 15,000 square feet of lot area required by Code. Additionally, the home was built with a 7-foot setback from the west lot line and a 4-foot setback from the south lot line. There is an existing driveway access along the south property line. The applicant’s proposed garage placement would make use of the existing curb cut and place the garage 18-feet and 3-inches back from the south lot line. This placement would place the garage entrance and service door roughly in line with an entrance to the home, facilitating easy transitions between the two structures. The applicant had initially proposed a 16-foot garage setback; however, they pushed the garage back an additional 2-feet 3-inches at staff’s request in order to ensure that vehicles parked in the driveway would be well clear of the public sidewalk 7727 Frontier Trail Variance Request September 1, 2020 Page 5 along West 78th Street and that the driveway would meet the city’s 18-foot minimum length requirement. Given that the property is a corner lot with a 10-foot north lot line setback, the property is theoretically deep enough to allow for the placement of a 24-foot deep garage meeting the required north and south lot line setbacks; however, a placement meeting the required setbacks would have several drawbacks. Moving the garage that far back on the lot would significantly reduce the usable rear yard greenspace and add approximately 200 square feet (2.25 percent) of additional lot cover to the property. Staff has historically prioritized reducing impervious surface coverage over maximizing setbacks, especially in neighborhoods where many existing structures are already located within required setbacks. Since the proposed setback places the garage 14 feet further back from the lot line than the existing house and provides the minimum driveway length required by City Code, staff believes the requested front yard variance is reasonable given the substandard size of the lot and placement of the existing home. For these reasons staff recommends the front yard variance be approved. Lot Cover The applicant had initially proposed placing the garage 16-feet from the property line with access provided by a driveway that did not feature a turnaround. This proposal would have required a 4.8 percent lot cover variance. Since the City Code requires 18-feet of driveway length for all driveways and the inclusion of turnarounds on driveways entering onto city designated collector roads, such as West 78th Street, staff asked the applicant to revise their plans to meet the city’s driveway design standards. These revisions, while necessary to provide for off street parking and safe access, increased the proposal’s lot cover from 29.8 percent to 31.35 percent, an increase of 138 square feet. Upon reviewing the revised submission, staff also noticed that the garage contains an access door for which no landing is provided and that the redesigned driveway would be 33-feet 2-inches wide at the right of way, which is 9-feet 2-inches wider than is permitted by City Code. In order to avoid conflict with the city’s driveway designs standards, Engineering is recommending that the applicant be required to relocate the turnaround one-half foot north of the property line. This design change combined with needing to allow space for a landing off the garage’s service door will likely further increase the property’s lot cover. For these reasons, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve a 7 percent lot cover variance rather than the 6.35 percent lot 7727 Frontier Trail Variance Request September 1, 2020 Page 6 cover variance requested by the applicant in order to accommodate these changes. The staff- recommended increase would allow the applicant 57 square feet of additional lot cover to accommodate the required redesign of the driveway. Staff is typically reluctant to support variances allowing properties that currently meet lot cover limits to exceed their district’s limit; however, staff also recognizes that 2-car garages are a minimum requirement for single-family homes in Chanhassen and that driveways need to meet minimum design standards in order to ensure safety and functionality. In cases where an existing home does not have a garage, staff looks at the total amount of lot cover proposed for the property both as a percentage of lot area and an absolute total square footage, the size of the proposed garage, and the presence of patios, sheds, or other types of lot cover that could potentially be removed in order to determine if the requested lot cover variance is reasonable. As was noted earlier, the lot is substandard with only 8,819 square feet of lot area. To help determine how much impervious surface is reasonable for a single-family home, staff looks at the impervious surface allowed on a lot meeting minimum size standards. The minimum lot size, impervious surface limit, and minimum impervious cover allowed for the single-family residential (RSF) district, the residential low and medium density (RLM) district, and the applicant’s property are shown in the table below. District RSF RLM Applicant’s Property Min. Lot area 15,000 9,000 8,819 Impervious % 25% 35% 25% Impervious Cover 3,750 3,150 2,204 While the RLM district is required to dedicate significant amounts of permanent open space to offset its higher percentage of impervious surface, the increased amount of impervious surface permitted reflects the fact that it is extremely difficult to fit a home and garage on a 9,000 square foot lot without a higher percentage of lot cover. The 2,822 square feet of impervious surface that would be required to accommodate the applicant’s proposed garage is under the minimum amount permitted for non-substandard single-family lots and, in absolute terms, is not an inordinate amount of lot cover for a home and garage. Similarly, the dimensions of the proposed garage, 22-feet by 24-feet, are in line with the typical size of a two-car garage and does not represent a request for an oversized or excessively large garage. While there is a 95 square foot storage shed on the property, the property does not have large patios or other excess impervious surface that could be removed to help accommodate the proposed garage, and staff believes that given the relatively modest size of the proposed garage it is reasonable for the applicant to ask to retain the shed to provide additional on-site storage. A final consideration staff evaluates in determining whether to recommend approval of a lot cover variance is to evaluate the area’s stormwater infrastructure and the area’s history of drainage issues. In cases where there is a history of drainage issues or inadequate stormwater infrastructures, staff often recommends that mitigation measures such as pervious pavers or rain gardens be installed to offset the requested increase in impervious surface. In this instance, staff 7727 Frontier Trail Variance Request September 1, 2020 Page 7 is not aware of any deficiencies in the area’s stormwater system or of any history of drainage complaints in this neighborhood, and does not believe the amount of impervious surface being proposed necessities the use of any mitigation measures. Due to the fact that the lot is substandard, the size of the proposed garage is reasonable, and the configuration and size of the driveway is mandated by other sections of the City Code, staff recommends that the lot cover variance be approved. Impact on Neighborhood The City Lots of Chanhassen is the community’s original neighborhood. Many of its properties are non-conforming uses, and 12 variances have been given to the 38 properties within 500 feet of 7727 Frontier Trail. Of those 12 variances, seven were front yard setback variances and 11 were front or side yard setback variances. Five of the 12 variances were requested to allow properties to add a garage. Surveying aerial photos of the neighborhood, no property sharing a block with 7727 Frontier Trail, with one possible exception, appears to meet the required front yard setback. Given that neighborhood largely consists of smaller lots with structures located within the required setbacks, the proposed variance would not represent a departure from the existing character of the neighborhood. Furthermore, the proposed garage is broadly architecturally compatible with the existing structure and will not negatively impact the property’s appearance as seen from the street. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, approve the 11-foot 9-inch front yard setback and 7 percent lot cover variance requests for the construction of a detached garage and adopt the attached Findings of Fact and Decision, subject to the following conditions: 1. A building permit must be obtained prior to construction and the building must comply with the Minnesota State Building Code. 2. Eaves may encroach an additional one foot beyond the granted variance, as shown in the plans dated July 31, 2020. 3. The detached garage must be architecturally compatible with the existing home. 4. The driveway turnaround shall be relocated at least one-half foot north so as not to be on the property line; the maximum driveway width at the right-of-way line shall not exceed 24 feet. 7727 Frontier Trail Variance Request September 1, 2020 Page 8 ATTACHMENTS 1.

On September 1, 2020, 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 District (RSF). 2. The property is guided in the Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan for Residential Low Density. 3. The legal description of the property is: The South 80 feet of Lots One and Two (1&2) of Block 1, Village of Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota, according to the map or plat on file and of record in the Office of the County Recorder of said 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: Since the City Code requires single-family homes to have a two-car garage granting a variance to permit the construction of a two-car garage is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of Chapter 20. Concerning the requested lot cover variance, the intent of the City Code is to regulate and limit the amount of lot cover in order to allow for the management of stormwater. Since this area of the city does not have a known history of drainage issues or known deficiencies in the stormwater infrastructure, allowing a relatively modest increase in the absolute amount of lot cover on a property to facilitate the construction of a garage and a driveway meeting city design standards is in harmony with the intent of Chapter 20. 2 Concerning the requested front yard setback, the intent of the city’s yard setback ordinance is to provide for a uniform neighborhood aesthetic and greenspace. In this instance, the proposed garage is set further back than the existing home and granting the requested front yard setback will allow the property to maintain a larger and more usable rear yard. Given the existing development pattern of the area and wide variance in the front yard setbacks within the neighborhood, granting the requested front setback variance is in harmony with the intent of Chapter 20. 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 applicant’s proposed two-car garage is a reasonable accessory use for property with a single-family home and no garage. The location of the existing home on the parcel and substandard nature of the parcel make it impossible for the applicant to construct a two-car garage without a variance. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The variance request is not solely based upon economic considerations. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The neighborhood was platted 1887 and the home was built in 1906. Since the creation of the lot and construction of the home predates the creation of the city and adoption of a Zoning Code, the applicant is forced to work within the constraints created by the non-conforming lot and house placement. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: The property is located in one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. Many of the properties in the area do not have the required 30-foot front yard setback, either by virtue of variances or by virtue of their status as non-conforming uses. Additionally, no property sharing a block with 7727 Frontier Trail, with one possible exception, appears to meet the required front yard setback. Given that the neighborhood largely consists of smaller lots with structures located within the required setbacks, the proposed variance would not represent a departure from the existing character of the neighborhood. Furthermore, the proposed garage is broadly architecturally compatible with the existing structure and will not negatively impact the property’s appearance as seen from the street. 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. 3 5. The planning report #2020-17, dated September 1, 2020, prepared by MacKenzie Young- Walters, is incorporated herein. DECISION “The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves an 11 foot 9 inch front yard setback variance and a 7 percent lot cover variance for the construction of a detached garage, and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision, subject to the following condition: 1. A building permit must be obtained prior to construction and the building must comply with the Minnesota State Building Code. 2. Eaves may encroach an additional one foot beyond the granted variance, as shown in the plans dated July 31, 2020. 3. The detached garage must be architecturally compatible with the existing home. 4. The driveway turnaround shall be relocated at least one-half foot north so as not to be on the property line; the maximum driveway width at the right-of-way line shall not exceed 24 feet. ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 1st day of September, 2020.

These comments are divided into two categories: general comments and proposed conditions. General comments are informational points to guide the applicant in the proper planning of public works infrastructure for this project, to inform the applicant of possible extraordinary issues and/or to provide the basis for findings. Proposed conditions are requirements that Engineering recommends be formally imposed on the developer in the final order. Note that references to the “City Standards” herein refer to the City of Chanhassen Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. General Comments/Findings 1. Any and all utility and transportation plans submitted with this application have been reviewed only for the purpose of determining the feasibility of providing utility and transportation facilities for the project in accordance with City Standards. A recommendation of variance approval does not constitute final approval of details, including but not limited to alignments, materials and points of access, connection or discharge, that are depicted or suggested in the application. The applicant is required to submit detailed construction drawings and/or plat drawings for the project, as applicable. The City of Chanhassen Engineering and Public Works Department will review plans, in detail, when they are submitted and approve, reject or require modifications to the plans or drawings based upon conformance with City Standards, the Chanhassen Code of Ordinances and the professional engineering judgment of the City Engineer. 2. It is the opinion of the Engineering Department that the proposed garage and driveway can be developed in accordance with the requirements of the Chanhassen Code of Ordinances (as it pertains to Engineering and Public Works requirements) and City Standards, provided it fully addresses the comments and conditions contained herein, and can be approved. 3. The applicant is proposing the construction of a 528 square foot two car garage and an associated 481 square foot driveway with turnaround, increasing impervious surface by 1009 square feet. The additional hardcover requires a variance from the zoning ordinance, while the proposed plan for the driveway and garage generally meet all requirements of City Standards and City Ordinance as it pertains to Engineering and Public Works. The applicant is proposing a turnaround with the driveway which would have been a requirement of the Engineering Department if one was not proposed. As W 78th Street is a collector road, turnarounds are required in driveways as to not create situations where vehicles would have to back-out of a driveway onto a collector, creating safety concerns. While the proposed layout will meet the turnaround requirement, the turnaround extends along the property line, which in the strictest reading of Sec. 20-1122 would be over the maximum 24 width allowed for RSF, see condition 1. Lastly, the portion of driveway to be installed within the right-of-way will be required to conform to City Standards. 4. Water Resources staff investigated whether this property has a history of drainage or erosion issues. No issues have been observed or documented at the City, and this area does not have deficient stormwater infrastructure. As such, Water Resources staff is not requiring any proposed stormwater conditions with regards to the increase in hard cover. Proposed Conditions 1. The turnaround shall be relocated at least 0.5 feet to the north as to not be on the property line; the maximum driveway width at the right-of-way line shall not exceed 24 feet.
