Hogeboom explained that the applicants removed an existing front yard deck and began
construction of a new deck on the front of their home that encroached into the front yard
setback area. He noted that the applicants were issued a stop work order because they
began construction without a building permit. He stated that the hardship noted by the
applicant is the fact that their front door is four feet off the ground so they need stairs or
some type of landing to gain access to the house.
Hogeboom stated that the applicants are also requesting variances for the

Subject:
9400 Golden Valley Road
Steve Johnson, Applicant
Steve Johnson, representative for TDB Builders, is proposing to construct an enclosed parking
structure at 9400 Golden Valley Road. The proposed parking structure would encroach into the
east side yard setback area of the property. Currently, the facility at 9400 Golden Valley Road is
owned by RHT Office LLC, and houses two social service organizations. The proposed parking
structure would be used to store three company vehicles, one of which is an ambulance.
As detailed in Mr. Johnson's Zoning Code Variance Application, the hardship with this property
is that the Watershed District requirements make it necessary to place the structure in its
proposed location. Also, an enclosed structure would add to the safety and visual enhancement
of the property.
The proposed project requires a variance from the following section of City Code:
. Section 11.45, Subd. 4(A)(3) Side Yard Setback Requirements.
The City's Zoning Code states that side yard setbacks in the Business and Professional Office
Zoning District (in cases where properties abut other Business and Professional Office Zoning
District property) shall be at least 20 feet from the adjoining property line.
Mr. Johnson is requesting 5.72 feet off the required 20 feet to a distance of 14.28 feet at its
closest point to the (east) side yard property line to allow for the construction of an enclosed
parking garage structure.
No prior variances from City Code were found for this property.

Dear BZA Board,
The application before you entails a 3 stall garage to be use as proof of parking for
three company vehicles. The largest vehicle is an ambulance, which requires
additional depth to fit inside.
The unique hardship for our application is due to the watershed requirements for the
site. The project is in a Levell Watershed District, which involves capturing larger
amounts of rainwater then on a normal lot. Because of this requirement, the pond
size has a depth of 12 fee~ and has limited our ability to meet the meet the required
setback for the garage.
Currently, we are in the middle of adding an addition to the existing building. During
the projects approval process, the garage and trash enclosure were both included as
topics, and were approved by the Building Board of Review for is use of materials
and design.
The owner's interest to add the garage structure is strictly based on concerns for both
safety of their property, and the neighbor's not having to look at vehicles parked
overnight. In keeping with spirit and the intent of Golden Valley's vision for having
esthetically pleasing buildings within the city, we are asking for your approval of this
request.
Sincerely,
s-~~
Steve Johnson

Thomas Bequette, Applicant

From:
Subject:
Thomas Bequette is the owner of the property located at 2440 Valders Avenue North. Mr.
Bequette asks the Board of Zoning Appeals to bring his current garage into conformity with City
Code. The detached garage has been built to a distance of 6 feet from the a deck structure.
As detailed in Mr. Johnson's Zoning Code Variance Application, the hardship with this property
is that the area in which the garage is located is the only suitable location for the structure on the
property. The garage is located 10 feet from the home itself, however, it is 6 feet from the
home's detached deck (another accessory structure.)
The proposed project requires a variance from the following section of City Code:
. Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A)(1) Accessory Structure Location Requirements.
The City's Zoning Code states that accessory structures in the Single Family Residential Zoning
District must be at least 10 feet from any principle structure or any other accessory structure on
the property.
Mr. Johnson is requesting 4 feet off the required 10 feet to a distance of 6 feet at its closest point
to the deck structure to bring his current detached garage into conformity with City Code.
No prior variances from City Code were found for this property.

Signatures of Surrounding Property Owners
Note to the variance applicant:
As part of the variance application process, you will need to attempt to obtain the signatures of all
surrounding property owners. This includes all properties abutting the applicant's property and directly
across the street. If on a corner, this means across both streets.
To obtain these signatures, you will need to personally visit each of these property owners, tell them
about your project (we encourage you to bring along a copy of your building plans) and have them
sign the area, below. The signature is meant only to verify that you have told them about your
project and gives them opportunity to comment.
If you have attempted to contact a property owner on two separate occasions and not found them at
home, you may simply write something to the effect "made two attempts, owner not home" and then
write their address. City staff will also send a written notice informing these property owners of the
time and place of the BZA meeting.
Note to surrounding property owners:
This is an application by your neighbor for a variance from the City Zoning Code. Please be aware of
ny possible effect the granting of this variance could have on your property. You will also be
receiving a written notice informing you of the time and place of the variance meeting.
.
By signing this form, you are only verifying that you have been told about the project, not that
you necessarily agree or object to the project. If you wish, you may comment on the project.
Comments can contain language of agreeing with the project, objecting to the project or other
tatements regarding the project.
