Mr. Toutges is requesting a variance to the Zoning Code for the construction of a second garage stall, to be added to the existing one stall garage. Historically, the City has considered the lack a two stall garage on a residential property to be a hardship. In July, 2001, two prior variances were obtained for this property for the construction of a garage addition. To date, the garage addition has not been constructed, and the previously obtained variances have expired. The applicant has redesigned a garage addition, and must now request a new variance to move ahead with the project. Variance The proposal requires a variance from the following section of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd. 11(A)(3)(b) Side Yard Setback Requirements. City Code requires a distance of 12.5 feet between a home/attached garage and a side yard property line in this location. The applicant is requesting 5.9 feet off of the required 12.5 feet to a distance of 6.6 feet between the proposed addition and the west side yard property line. Recommended Action Staff has reviewed this request, and believes this is a suitable proposal. Staff requests the Board of Zoning Appeals to approve a waiver to Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A)(3)(b) of City Code, allowing the applicant to construct an addition to the existing garage within 6.6 feet of the west side yard property line.

Mr. Johnson is requesting a variance to the Zoning Code for the construction of a deck in the front of his home. Mr. Johnson states that the current concrete stairs leading to the front door of the home do not provide adequate space for a landing and are in need of replacement. City Code does allow 25 square feet of landing area to be located within the front yard setback. This project, however, exceeds 25 square feet, and is thereby considered a deck. No prior variances have been obtained for this property. Variance The proposal requires a variance from the following section of City Code: · Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements. City Code requires a distance of 35 feet between a home and the front yard property line. The applicant is requesting 9 feet off of the required 35 feet to a distance of 26 feet between the proposed deck and the front yard property line. Recommended Action Staff has reviewed this request, and has discussed alternate options with the applicant. Traditionally, the City is hesitant to allow structures to be built within the front yard setback of a property. However, due to need to replace the existing stairs, and the minimal impact to front yard sightlines, staff requests the Board of Zoning Appeals to approve a waiver to Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A)(1) of City Code, allowing the applicant to complete the construction of a deck within 26 feet of the front yard property line.

The layout of the existing house requires that an addition to the garage be built on the side and extend out slightly to the front. In addition to necessary variances to front yard and side yard setback requirements, the applicant is also requesting a variance from the 'building articulation' requirement of the Zoning Code. No prior variances have been obtained for this property. Variance The proposal requires variances from the following sections of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd.11(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements. City Code requires a distance of 35 feet between a home and the front yard property line. The applicant is requesting 5.5 feet off of the required 35 feet to a distance of 29.5 feet between the proposed garage addition and the front yard property line. . Section 11.21, Subd. 11(A)(3)(a) Side Yard Setback Requirements. For this property, City Code requires a distance of 15 feet between a home/attached garage and the south side yard property line. The applicant is requesting 5 feet off of the required 15 feet to a distance of 10 feet between the proposed garage addition and the side yard property line. . Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A){3){d) Articulation Requirements. City Code requires that all walls longer than 32 feet be articulated. The applicant is requesting a waiver to this requirement, allowing a 37 foot wall to be built along the south side of the home without articulation. Recommended Action Staff has reviewed this request, and has concluded it to be a reasonable proposal. Staff feels that the lack of a one stall garage has caused concern for this property, and believes that the applicants have carefully considered various alternatives. Staff requests the Board of Zoning Appeals to approve all waivers to City Code as requested by the applicant, allowing the applicant to complete the construction of a garage addition.

Mr. and Ms. Vedadi are requesting a variance to the Zoning Code for the construction of a second garage stall with living space above. The current one stall garage stall is inadequate in size, and is considered to be a hardship by the applicants. The applicants are proposing to construct the addition within three feet of the north side property line. No prior variances have been obtained for this property. Variance The proposal requires a variance from the following section of City Code: . Section 11.21, Subd. 11(A)(3)(a) Side Yard Setback Requirements. For this property, City Code requires a distance of 12.5 feet between a home/attached garage and the north side yard property line. The applicant is requesting 9.5 feet off of the required 12.5 feet to a distance of 3 feet between the proposed addition and the north side yard property line. Recommended Action Staff has reviewed this request, and agrees that the construction of an additional garage stall is a reasonable request. However, staff has concern over the close proximity of the proposed addition to the neighboring property. This request has been reviewed by the Public Works Department as well as the Inspections Department. It is the collective opinion of staff that a twenty foot, two-stall garage would be a reasonable size in this instance, considering the close proximity to the neighboring property. Staff requests the Board of Zoning Appeals to approve a waiver to Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A)(3)(a) of City Code, allowing the applicants to construct an addition of a garage with living space above within 6.5 feet (6 feet off of the required 12 foot setback requirements) of the north side yard property line. (This compromised distance allows for the construction of a 20 foot, two-stall garage, while maintaining additional side yard area.)

Ms. Krantz and Mr. Fraser are requesting two variances to the Zoning Code for the construction of a second garage stall with living space above. The current one stall garage stall is inadequate in size, and is considered to be a hardship by the applicants. The proposed addition is part of a larger project, which does not require additional variances. In April of 2000, a variance was obtained to complete an addition to the garage. However, the addition did not occur, and the variance has expired. Obtainment of a new variance will allow the applicants to move forward with their proposal. Since the issuance of the first variance, building articulation requirements have taken effect. The applicants are also requesting that this requirement be waived, as articulation would not comply with the proposed interior layout of the home. Variance The proposal requires variances from the following sections of City Code: · Section 11.21, Subd.11(A)(3)(a) Side Yard Setback Requirements. For this property, City Code requires a distance of 12.5 feet between a home/attached garage and the south side yard property line. The applicant is requesting 3.5 feet off of the required 12.5 feet to a distance of 9 feet between the proposed addition and the south side yard property line. . Section 11.21, Subd. 11(A)(3)(d) Articulation Requirements. City Code requires that all walls longer than 32 feet be articulated. The applicant is requesting a waiver to this requirement, allowing a 40 foot wall to be built along the south side of the home without articulation. Recommended Action Staff has reviewed this request, and has concluded it to be a reasonable proposal. Staff feels that the lack of a one stall garage is a reasonable hardship. In addition, the design of the home makes it difficult to fulfill articulation requirements. Therefore, staff requests the Board of Zoning Appeals to approve all waivers to City Code as requested by the applicant, allowing the applicant to complete the construction of a garage addition with living space above.

To allow for the construction of a second-stall garage addition into the side setback and .to allow for the construction of a second-story onto the existing rambler house which will protrude into the south setback area. Chair Lang stated the requests. Purpose: Staff Liaison Oold said the applicants have an existing tuck-under, single-stall garage. They wish to add a second stall onto the garage. The addition would protrude 3 feet into the side setback. The second-stall garage addition and.the living addition above the proposed s~ond- stall garage addition would need a 3-foot variance off the required 12.75 feet toa distance of 9.75 feet. Oold has included all three scenarios in the information packet provided to the Board. She showed a color rendering of West Elevation, also included in the packets. Chair Lang asked the applicants to present their proposed project. It John Fraser, 401 Westwood Drive South, explained the proposal. The goal is to . add a second- stall onto the garage. There are several options to meet this goal, expanding under the current footprint. or building a protruding garage at the front of the house. He prefers to maintain the traditional style of the house and avoid building a protruding garage. He is proposing that the garage be built under the house, maintaining the existing footprint if possible. McCracken-Hunt noted that the existing plan has two bedrooms. She inquired if the proposed addition would include two additional bedrooms. Shaffer explained that the addition extends across the full second story. John Fraser saidfulJ plans would be drawn once the variance has been approved. He said he has shown the plans to the neighbors and received their signatures on the application.. McCracken-Hunt added that there are 21 feet remaining in the front yard that would not require a variance, as shown on the survey. Oold confirmed that the existing house sits 56.4 feet from the front setback line leaving 21.4 feet of useable space in the front yard. It would be possible to build the garage out from the house, in a tandem style, without the need for a variance. Sell noted that the house has been on the lot since the 1940s. Many of the houses in the neighborhood have a similar style. If the garage was built out from the house, it might change the look of the neighborhood. The second-stall and addition would. be less imposing. MOVED by Sell, seconded by Swedberg, and motion carried unanimously to approve the requested variances as outlined above. e ~'..:~.' , c{} ~ - -QI _I tf\ ~ \fI " - ~ w l .~ II. f f 1 "' ., i' . rr: .~ I. , \.
