Petition for Variance on Setback for Front Detached Garage
The following are the Hardships which should be considered for this petition.
In the process of removing 5 building from this property and obtaining a permit for a pole barn, it was
determined that 3 of the 13 buildings on this property did not have building permits issued when they were
built. During the permit application process it was noted that the front garage did not meet setback
requirements. Therefore, I seek a variance.
This home and property has existed in its current location since the founding of the County of Carver. It is
among the first farms to be homesteaded in the Schmid Acre Tracts. I am the 4th generation to live and farm
in this area.
The main home was built in 1896 and its location preexisted setback standards. This home faces East towards
the park and towards a proposed road the city will put in should the surrounding properties sell to developers.
Consequently, the garage would be well within city setback requirements.
The front garage was built in 1996 with a setback from 22 to 24 feet for 3 important reasons.
1. To create a safe, enclosed front yard for my children.
2. To conserve enough space between the house and garage for a vehicle to maneuver between.
3. To minimize the impact of increased traffic on the often dangerous curve at the corner ofW 62nd Street
and Cathcart.
Decreasing the space between the home and the garage (thusly increasing the front setback) would create an
additional important hardship. My sister's special needs commuter bus would not be able to pull all the way
into the yard up to her handicap ramp so that she may embark/disembark and then turn all the way around and
exit the driveway onto a busy street safely. The driveway as it is now allows for greater safety for her and her
coworkers as well as those drivers which routinely use West 62nd Street in their commutes. Finally, I
respectfully submit that the existence of the this garage contributes to the aesthetics of the neighborhood
because it stores the accessible vehicles and specially enabled chairs, bikes, strollers and supports which give
my sister a more positive adult experience (but take up a lot of space).
I would like to note here that this variance request is, for my part, willingly brought forward with no
complaints or questions from neighbors or from personnel who visit yearly. Please grant this variance as there
seems no detrimental effects on anyone or anything in my area. Your attention in this matter is greatly
appreciated by my family and me.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
