Robert Cook, applicant, stated that the home was built in 1970 but he bought it in 1994. Boudreau-Landis asked if any action needed to be taken regarding the original deck before they could deal with the proposed new sun porch. Hogeboom stated that if this Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals April 22, 2008 Page 2 variance request is approved no action would be needed regarding the existing deck because it would be torn down. Sell asked if there are any footings under the existing deck. Todd Obele, Minnesota Rusco, contractor for the project, stated that there are 15-inch bell footings, 42 inches deep. Segelbaum asked if there is anything unique to this Jot and if it is similar' lots around it.

Obele reiterated that the location of the t initiates the need for a variance for anything the homeowner wants to Segelbaum asked the applicant if he had thought about building just the sun porch and not the deck. Obele said they couldn't build just the sunroom because there needs to be an exit from the back of the house. He added that it is just a small deck area and the building code requires there to be a landing with stairs. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals April 22, 2008 Page 3 Boudreau-Landis opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment Boudreau-Landis closed the public hearing. Sell said he thinks it is unfortunate that this house was placed on the lot the way it was and that the homeowner wasn't told he needed a variance when he replaced the deck in 1997. He said there haven't been any complaints about the deck, they are improving their property and they are not going any closer to the property line than the existing deck already does so he would be willing to support this variance request.

Hey Planning 763-593-8095 I 763-593-8109 (fax) Date: May 9,2008 Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals Joe Hogeboom, City Planner 2404 McNair Drive (Continued) Cheryl Wahlin, Applicants To: From: Subject: Cheryl Whalin appeared before the Board of Zoning Appeals at the February 2008 meeting to request a variance to City Code for the construction of a two-stall garage with a second floor family room. The proposed addition would encroach into the front and side yard setbacks of the property. Ms. Whalin cited the lack of a two stall garage as a hardship to her family. Board members suggested that Ms. Whalin work with her architect to see if options exist which would not require an intrusion into the property setback area. Ms. Whalin's variance petition was subsequently tabled for 90 days. After meeting with architects and not finding an adequate design within setback limitations, Ms. Whalin has chosen to continue her public hearing at the May meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals. The proposed project requires variances from the following sections of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code states that front yard setbacks in the Single Family (R1) Zoning District must be at least 35 feet from the front property line along the street right of way line. Ms. Wahlin is requesting 7 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 28 feet at its closest point to the front (west) yard property line to allow for the construction of an attached garage with living space above. . Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(3)(b) Side Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code states that side yard setbacks in the Single Family (R1) Zoning District must be at least 12.5 feet from the side property line when lot width falls between 65 and 100 feet. Ms. Wahlin is requesting 1.5 feet off the required 12.5 feet to a distance of 11 feet at its closest point to the side (south) yard property line to allow for the construction of an attached garage with living space above. No prior variances from City Code were found for this property.

Mr. and Ms. Wahlin are requesting a variance to City Code to construct a proposed two-stall garage with a second floor family room. The proposed addition would encroach into the front and side yard setbacks of the property. As described by Ms. Wahlin, the lack of a two-stall garage creates a hardship. Currently, there is insufficient indoor vehicle parking on the premises. Auto theft has occurred as a consequence of cars being parked outside. Also, the rolling topography of the parcel limits alternative placements for the addition. The proposed project requires variances from the following sections of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code states that front yard setbacks in the Single Family (R1) Zoning District must be at least 35 feet from the front property line along the street right of way line. Mr. and Ms. Wahlin are requesting 7 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 28 feet at its closest point to the front (west) yard property line to allow for the construction of an attached garage with living space above. . Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(3)(b) Side Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code states that side yard setbacks in the Single Family (R1) Zoning District must be at least 12.5 feet from the side property line when lot width falls between 65 and 100 feet. Mr. and Ms. Wahlin are requesting 1.5 feet off the required 12.5 feet to a distance of 11 feet at its closest point to the side (south) yard property line to allow for the construction of an attached garage with living space above.

Mr. and Ms. Frenz are requesting a variance to City Code for the construction of an eave/overhead roof addition over the front entry of their home. (Due to architectural design, the proposed addition will be classified as an eave instead of a porch.) According to Section 11.21 Subdivision 10(E) of City Code,an eave may extend 30 inches into the 35 foot setback. The proposed eave will extend 16.8 inches beyond this guideline, to a distance of 46.8 inches into the setback area. Mr. and Ms. Frenz explain their hardship to be the lack of an overhead protection at the front entry of the house. The home, which is located 34.6 feet from the front yard setback line at its closest point, has limited space in which to construct an adequate-sized eave. The proposed project requires a variance from the following section of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd. 10(0) Principal Structure Cornices and Eave Requirements. The City's Zoning Code states that cornices and eaves in the Single Family Residential Zoning District may project no more than 30 inches into a required setback area. Mr. and Ms. Frenz are requesting 16.8 inches more than the allowed 30 inches to a distance of 46.8 inches into the setback area. In the past, two variance applications have been submitted for this property. The first variance application, dated September 24, 1996, requested a garage addition which extended 24 feet into the front yard setback area. This application was denied. However, under the advice of the Board of Zoning Appeals, the former homeowners revised their plans and resubmitted their request on October 22, 1996. This revised request, asking for four feet off the required 35 foot front yard setback, as well as 2.72 feet of the required 11.25 foot south side yard setback was approved.

Wooden Dreams, Inc. is requesting a variance from City Code to construct new steps and a stoop on the front of the home. The proposed stoop would extend into the front yard setback area. The applicant cites safety as the primary reason for this proposed addition. The existing 3.5 foot stoop, according to the applicant, does not provide adequate space to stand while opening the door, thus creating a hazardous environment. The applicant states that a new, 6 foot stoop will provide the appropriate amount of space to stand while opening the door. The proposed project requires a variance from the following sections of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd. 11(A) Front Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code allows 25 square feet of stairs to be located in the front yard setback area. The applicant is requesting 7 square feet more than the required 25 square feet to construct a proposed set of stairs and stoop. . Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements The City's Zoning Code requires a 35 foot setback from the home to the street right-of-way line.

Mr. Mamnev is requesting a variance to City Code to construct a second stall addition to his existing attached garage. The proposed addition would extend into the front yard setback area. The applicant explains that the lack of a two-stall garage, and the subsequent lack of storage space, constitute a hardship. An addition to the existing garage would increase vehicle storage space on the property. Also, the home is located on a corner lot, creating an increased setback area on the south side of the property. The proposed project requires a variance from the following section of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A) 1 Front Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code requires a 35 foot front yard setback between the principle structure on a lot and the street right-of-way line. The applicant is requesting 11 feet off of the required 35 feet to a distance of 24 feet from the closest point of the proposed addition to the front (south) yard setback. No prior variances have been granted for this property. ( 643 123 733 143 815 843 911 11051 Sumter Ave. S.
