Re: 3633 South Cedar Drive- Variance Request
Dear Sharmeen,
Per our meetings on this subject, attached are materials required for our application for a
variance from the front yard setback requirement on both Red Cedar Drive and South
Cedar in order to demolish our existing single stall garage to construct a three stall
garage. The proposed setback are the existing setback of approximately 11-112 feet.
Attached please find the following materials:
1. Development Review Application- Variance
2. Check in the amount of $ 250.00
3. Certificate of survey prepared Engineering Design Services- 12 sets at 11 x 17, one
8.5xl1.
4. Proposed floor plans and elevations- 12 sets 8.5xll.
I ask that the planning staff as well as the Planning Commission and City Council
consider the following relative to this request:
. My wife's family has owned the lakeshore property for over 60 years. While the
property is not our full time residence, we plan make it our full time residence
within 2 to 6 years (when Catherine, our youngest child, is in college or when we
are done paying for her college.)
. The property was platted in 1913 which predates the current zoning ordinances.
The individual lots are smaller than current minimum sizes and as a result, nearly
all of the properties in the area have similar setbacks to what we are proposing
and in a number of cases much smaller setbacks.
. The variance we are requesting is an existing condition that will not be any closer
to either road right of way than the existing garage. The majority of the addition
will be further from the road than the existing.
. The single stall garage is not big enough to meet our storage needs. With a boat,
trailer, personal watercraft, etc. we feel we need 2 stalls for recreational
equipment. Hopefully this is not surprising for lakeshore property. In addition,
we have no car storage. Over the Labor Day weekend we sustained hail damage
to our minivan which was parked outside since we choose to store the boat trailer,
etc. in the garage. With two children driving, we own 4 cars, three of which are
often at the property when we are there. We believe a three stall garage is a
reasonable request.
. Due to the unique triangular shape with roads on two sides, there is no area we
could build a reasonable sized garage without a variance. While constructing the
garage further to the west would allow a somewhat greater setback than the
existing condition, this would be further away from the lake home which we
would have to deal with for many years. In addition, a more westerly location
would be directly in front of our neighbors, the Johnson's. Tom and Jackie would
have a better view from their front door if we maintain the view of our lawn area
rather than our garage doors.
. At your suggestion, I have met with you and Jill Sinclair on site to discuss the
proximity of the existing elm and oak trees near the garage. We have already
incorporated similar measures in our plans to that which Jill suggested to our
neighbor to the north, the Gunther's, on their garage variance two years ago
which has resulted in their oak tree surviving quite well.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions or comments, I
can be reached at my office, 952/656-4457.
