SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting a variance to construct a second dwelling unit, commonly called an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), above their proposed home’s attached garage. They have stated that the intent of the variance request is to allow for them to care for their aging parents, who have some health concerns. Since the City Code restricts lots zoned Residential Single­Family to having a single dwelling unit, a variance is required to permit this use. The applicant has stated that they bought the property at 10029 Trails End with the intent of constructing a multi­ generational home to allow for them to care for their parents. They have noted that the City Code allows for variances to be issued to permit the creation of ADUs in cases where there is a demonstrated need and where the home maintains the exterior appearance of a single­family dwelling. They have explained that their parents’ age and father’s Parkinson’s diagnosis necessitate this arrangement and that the proposed home will maintain the appearance of a single­family dwelling. Finally, they have stated that granting the variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Generally speaking, the city cannot grant a variance for uses; however, Section 20­59 does allow for the city to grant variances for use of a single­family dwelling as a two­family dwelling, so long as four conditions are met. A variance of this nature has been requested three times since 2000, and all three of these requests were granted once the applicants demonstrated that they met or agreed to meet the ordinance’s requirements.  Staff has reviewed the applicant’s proposed home and statement of need, and believes that they meet the requirements outlined in Section 20­59 of the City Code for granting the requested variance. For this reason, staff recommends approval of the requested variance.

While variances for uses are not normally allowed, the City Code specifically allows for this use variance to be granted to facilitate the care of aging family members so long as the structure maintains the appearance of a single-family dwelling, separate utility services are not established, and the variance will not negatively impact the neighborhood. LOCATION: 10029 Trails End Road OWNER: Michael and Juliana Sylvia 9607 Sky Lane Eden Prairie, MN 55347 PRESENT ZONING: “RSF” – Single-Family Residential District 2040 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density ACREAGE: .4 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 second dwelling unit, commonly called an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), above their proposed home’s attached garage. They have stated that the intent of the variance request is to allow for them to care for their aging parents, who have some health concerns. Since the City Code restricts lots zoned Residential Single-Family to having a single dwelling unit, a variance is required to permit this use. PROPOSED MOTION: “The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the variance request for the use of a single-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings of Facts and Decision.” 10029 Trails End Road January 19, 2021 Page 2 The applicant has stated that they bought the property at 10029 Trails End with the intent of constructing a multi-generational home to allow for them to care for their parents. They have noted that the City Code allows for variances to be issued to permit the creation of ADUs in cases where there is a demonstrated need and where the home maintains the exterior appearance of a single-family dwelling. They have explained that their parents’ age and father’s Parkinson’s diagnosis necessitate this arrangement and that the proposed home will maintain the appearance of a single-family dwelling. Finally, they have stated that granting the variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Generally speaking, the city cannot grant a variance for uses; however, Section 20-59 does allow for the city to grant variances for use of a single-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling, so long as four conditions are met. A variance of this nature has been requested three times since 2000, and all three of these requests were granted once the applicants demonstrated that they met or agreed to meet the ordinance’s requirements. Staff has reviewed the applicant’s proposed home and statement of need, and believes that they meet the requirements outlined in Section 20- 59 of the City Code for granting the requested variance. For this reason, staff recommends approval of the requested variance. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 1, Section 1-2, Rules of Construction and Definitions Chapter 20, Article II, Division 3. Variances Chapter 20, Article XII, “RSF” Single-Family Residential District Section 20-615, Lot Requirements and Setbacks BACKGROUND In December of 2004, the final plat for the Settlers West subdivision was approved. The lot was never built on and has remained vacant since that time. In December of 2020, the applicant applied for a building permit for a home with an ADU. Staff informed them that a variance would be required to accommodate the proposed use. In December of 2020, the applicant applied for a variance to permit an ADU. 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. Residential structures are limited to 35 feet in height. The rear of the property is encumbered by a large drainage and utility easement. 10029 Trails End Road January 19, 2021 Page 3 The lot is 17,756 square feet and appears to meet all of the requirements of the City Code. No home or other structure is currently present on the lot. Bluff Creek Corridor This is not encumbered by the Bluff Creek Overlay District. Bluff Protection There are no bluffs on the property. Floodplain Overlay This property is not within a floodplain. Shoreland Management The property is not within a Shoreland Protection District. Wetland Protection There is not a wetland located in the development site. NEIGHBORHOOD Settlers West The plat for this area was recorded in December of 2004. As this is a newer subdivision, the lots were plated and subsequent homes were constructed under substantially the same City Code that exists today. Based on aerial photos of the area, staff does not believe there are many non-conforming properties or deviations from the City Code within the subdivision. Many of the lots in this subdivision are subject to the city’s bluff ordinance and other properties are encumbered by extensive drainage and utility easements in order to help manage run off and protect the area’s environmental features. This subdivision is also atypical in that its sewer and water utilities are provided by the City of Eden Prairie, rather than the City of Chanhassen. 10029 Trails End Road January 19, 2021 Page 4 Variances within 500 feet: 10036 Trails End Road (PC 2011-07): 4.3% Lot Cover (sport court) – Denied ANALYSIS Single-Family Dwelling as Two-Family Dwelling The applicant is requesting a variance to construct an ADU above the garage in their proposed home. Granting the requested variance would allow the applicant to construct a two-family dwelling unit on a property zoned for a single-family dwelling. Ordinarily, the city cannot grant variances for uses, i.e. a variance cannot be granted to use a property zoned single-family residential for an industrial use like a brick factory; however, Section 20-59 of the City Code allows for the city to issue variances to use a single-family dwelling as two-family dwelling, so long as four conditions are met. Specifically, Section 20-59 states: 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 driveway and one 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 the neighborhood where the property is situated and will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this chapter. The applicant has stated that they are requesting the variance in order to care for their aging parents, one of whom was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. This circumstance meets the first requirement and the variance request is in line with the ordinance’s goal of providing an option for residents to provide in-home care for their parents while allowing them to maintain independence. If the variance is approved, a condition should be placed on the approval requiring that the ADU be occupied by individuals that are related to the homeowner and preventing its rental as a spate unit. The proposed ADU will be located above the garage and the stairs leading to it can be accessed via the garage entrance to the main 10029 Trails End Road January 19, 2021 Page 5 house or from the main level’s back hall. The ADU has approximately 840 square feet of living area and will feature a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and laundry. No separate exterior entrance to the ADU is present and no separate utility services are proposed. If the Planning Commission chooses to approve the requested variance, conditions should be placed on the approval forbidding the creation of a separate entrance and separate utility services. Staff has reviewed the proposed plans and the renderings of the house’s exterior facades and believes that they are indistinguishable from those of single-family home. If not for the presence of a second dwelling unit, i.e. if the space above the garage was storage space or a game room, a permit could be issued without a variance. Given the above, staff believes that the applicant’s proposal meets all of the criteria required to issue a variance for an ADU on the property and recommends approving the requested variance. Impact on Neighborhood Settlers West is a newer subdivision where relatively large footprint homes with three-car garages are the norm. While most of the neighborhood’s homes were built with the garage doors parallel to the street, multiple houses have the garages set at angles to the street, utilize a side loading garage design, or otherwise depart from that configuration. The applicant’s proposed home does not fall outside of the range of variation in design already present in the neighborhood, nor does any element of its exterior façade depart from the norms associated with single-family residences. The variance request for an ADU to allow for the applicant to care for their aging parents is not expected to generate the traffic, noise, or transient population concerns that can be associated with placing multi-unit properties within single-family neighborhoods. The city has granted several variances for ADUs in other neighborhoods and to staff’s knowledge they have generated no complaints. Additionally, a condition that the ADU not be rented out will be attached to the variance to prevent the property from subsequently being sold or used as a duplex. Staff does not 10029 Trails End Road January 19, 2021 Page 6 believe that granting the requested variance would negatively impact any of the surrounding properties. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, approve the variance request for the use of a single-family dwelling as a two- family dwelling, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings of Facts and Decision. 1. A building permit must be obtained prior to construction. 2. Building plans must provide sufficient information to verify that the proposed building/structure meets all requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code; additional comments or requirements may be required after plan review. 3. The exterior of the home shall maintain the appearance of a single-family home (i.e. single driveway, single main entrance, etc.) and shall substantially conform to the plans dated December 10, 2020. 4. No separate entrance may be created for the apartment above the garage. 5. Separate utility services may not be established. 6. The apartment above the garage may not be rented as a separate unit, and may only be occupied by a relative of the property owner. ATTACHMENTS 1. Findings of Fact and Decision (Approval) 2.

On January 19, 2021, 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: Lot 12, Block 5, Settlers West 4. Variance Findings – Section 20-59 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance to use a single-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling: a. There is a demonstrated need based upon disability, age or financial hardship. Finding: The applicant has stated that they are requesting the variance in order to care for their aging parents, one of whom has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. b. The dwelling has the exterior appearance of a single-family dwelling, including the maintenance of one driveway and one main entry. Finding: Settlers West is a newer subdivision where relatively large footprint homes with three-car garages are the norm. While most of the neighborhood’s homes were built with the garage doors parallel to the street, multiple houses have the garages set at angles to the street, utilize a side loading garage design, or otherwise depart from that configuration. The applicant’s proposed home does not fall outside of the range of variation in design already present in the neighborhood, nor does any element of its exterior façade depart from the norms associated with single-family residences. 2 The proposed home has a single driveway and a single main entrance, and conditions have been placed on the variance to prevent the creation of a separate entrance or significant deviations from the proposed façade. c. Separate utility services are not established (e.g., gas, water, sewer, etc.). Finding: Separate utility services are not proposed and will not be established. d. 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 this chapter. Finding: The variance request for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to allow for the applicant to care for their aging parents is not expected to generate the traffic, noise, or transient population concerns that can be associated with placing multi-unit properties within single-family neighborhoods. The city has granted several variances for ADUs in other neighborhoods and to staff’s knowledge they have generated no complaints. Additionally, conditions have been placed on the variance to prevent the property from subsequently being sold or used as a duplex. Granting the requested variance is not expected to negatively impact any of the surrounding properties, and is in line with the City Code’s intent that residents have the option to provide in-home care for family members while allowing them to maintain independence. 5. The planning report #2021-06, dated January 19, 2021, prepared by MacKenzie Young-Walters, is incorporated herein. DECISION The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves the variance request for the use of a single-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling, subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. A building permit must be obtained prior to construction. 2. Building plans must provide sufficient information to verify that proposed building/structure meets all requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code; additional comments or requirements may be required after plan review. 3. The exterior of the home shall maintain the appearance of a single-family home (i.e. single driveway, single main entrance, etc.) and shall substantially conform to the plans dated December 10, 2020. 4. No separate entrance may be created for the apartment above the garage. 5. Separate utility services may not be established. 6. The apartment above the garage may not be rented as a separate unit, and may only be occupied by a relative of the property owner. 3 ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 19th day of January, 2021.

We have three sons, Mateo (l l), Sebastian (9), and Cam (5). Our family purchased 10029 Trails End Road in Chanhassen (Lot 12, Block 5, Settlers West) on May 5, 2020. Since then, we've been designing our dream home for our family of five, with living space above our garage for my parents, Barbma and Michael. Currently, we are renting a home where my parents live in the finished basement, and have been for the last l6 months. Living in the basernent is certainly not the ideal living arranganent for any aging parent/grandparent, and this was never our long term plan. It has always been their dream to have an inlaw apartment in a home with us. This lot not only provides an excellent opportunity for this setup, as well as an incredible neighborhood and community that is Settlers West. My mother is 70 years old, and my father is 7l , and they are both retired teachers. In 2013, my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a neurological degenerative condition that impacts all aspects of his life. As expected, his condition continues to deteriorate steadily. Their lives revolve around our sons, their only grandchildren. My mother is his primary caregiver, but ultimately this is a family effort as my father needs assistance and supervision constantly. The one thing they cherish the most is spending time with their grandchildren' Given these circumstances, the easier we can make that for thern, the better it will be for our family; especially for our children, who absolutely love Grandma and Grandpa. On behalfofour entire family, thank you for your time and consideration of this very important matter, that's dear to our hearts, and the happiness of our family. We are grateful for the opportunity to have shared our special case with you, and look forward to working with the City of Chanhassen. Thank you. Sincerely, The Sylvia family 684 Excelsior Blvd Suite 220 Excelsior, MN 55331 Re: Written Justification of Variance Request 10029 Trails End Rd Chanhassen, MN 553 l7 Sec. 20-59 - Conditions for use of Sinsle Family dwelline as Two Family dwelling 2. Please note the dwelling has the appearance of a single-family home in every way, including the maintenance of one driveway and one main entry. 3. Separate utility services for gas, electricity, water, sewer, etc. will not be established. 4. The variance will not injure or adversely affect the health, safety or welfare ofthe residents ofthe cify or the neighborhood where the property is situated and is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code. Justification for Request for Variance The code states that a variance is appropriate in this situation, and we feel that the variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan The circumstances of the family make this variance necessary and the owner's use of the property will not affect the community and neighborhood in any way. a Align Building and Remodeling, LLC l. The variance request is to facilitate caring for aging parents and is not based on economic considerations. b. The purpose of this variance is not based on economic considerations. The utilities are for a single family dwelling, in perpetuity. We believe we meet the criteria for granting this variance Granting this variance will in no way alter the character of the locality. The house will look like a single family dwelling, which it is. Thank you for your consideration. Steve Longman Principle c. d. e.
