To allow for the construction of a garage with living space above. Hogeboom referred to a survey of the property and explained that the applicant is proposing to build a new two-stall garage with living space above. He stated that the proposed garage would encroach into the front and side yard setback areas. He stated that the hardships noted by the applicant are the lack of a two car garage and thefts from cars occurring in her neighborhood. He added that no other variances have been granted for this property in the past. Segelbaum questioned if the thefts in the area could be considered a hardship. Hogeboom stated that the single stall garage is the main hardship in this case but that Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals February 26, 2008 Page 2 the thefts add to the hardship. He showed the board a police report he pulled for this property. Segelbaum noted that the topography on the lot is also listed as a hardship on the application. Hogeboom stated that the topography on the lot is another reason the applicant is proposing to place the garage in the location shown. Cheryl Wahlin, Applicant, stated that she doesn't want to focus on the th reason for the variances requested is because she wants a two-stall protection from the weather, general storage, motorcycle storage an theft. She explained that one of the factors driving the size of th p is that the existing dining room wall jogs out so in order to ma in work she has to place the garage further toward the front y oncerned about granting the front yard variance.

She said it would be helpful to her if the Board could see the plans or get more information about the proposed addition. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals February 26, 2008 Page 3 Mark Williams, friend of the applicant, said that he's been helping Wahlin with her proposed project. He stated that they had discussed sliding the proposed garage further back on the lot but it causes problems with the layout of the dining room. He agreed that having drawings of the proposed addition would help. Wahlin said she is in a "catch 22" because she doesn't want to have architectural drawings made until she knows she has a variance. Morrissey stated that the applicant should be able to find an architect that can propose solutions that maybe n't require variances.

Mr. and Ms. Cook are requesting a variance to City Code to construct a proposed enclosed sun porch and an adjoining deck. The proposed addition would encroach into the rear yard setback of the property. According to the Clarks' Zoning Code Variance Application, the existing deck (on which the proposed sun porch would be built) was constructed in the rear yard setback. The applicant explains that the existing deck is already located within the rear yard setback due to the configuration of the lot, and that any additions would also have to be built into the setback area. The proposed project requires a variance from the following section of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(2) Rear Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code states that rear yard setbacks in the Single Family (R1) Zoning District must be at least 20 percent of the entire lot depth (25 feet, in this case.) Mr. and Ms. Cook are requesting 14.1 feet off the required 25 feet to a distance of 10.9 feet at its closest point to the rear (east) yard property line to allow for the construction of a sun porch and deck. No prior variances from City Code were found for this property. 74~ 7:MO 7330 7324 I I 7236 7218 7200 7182 1031 7156 7146 , City of Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) Zoning Code Variance Application 1.
