would be in the setback area.
.
Wayne Branum, SALA Architects, architect for the project, explained that due to the
topography on this lot it would be nearly impossible to build anything to the rear of the
existing house so that is why the applicant is proposing to build the addition on the front
of the home, cantilevered over the existing garage.
Boudreau-Landis asked if the applicant believes the hardship in this case is the site
itself. Branum said yes and noted that there is a very steep hill on this site and that

access to the back yard is difficult. He added that there would also be drainage issues
created if they were to build toward the rear of the lot.
Grimes noted that the elevation goes from 906 in the back yard to 862 at the street
level which is about a 45 foot drop in elevation from the middle of the back yard to the
street. Branum agreed and stated that the home is quite screened and the addition
won't be detrimental to the neighborhood.

comment, Boudreau-Landis closed the public hearing.

Iicant, stated that she has outgrown her current one stall garage
another stall onto the existing garage.
Grimes at the applicant is also planning to make the garage slightly deeper.
Bakken exp ained that she is proposed to make the garage deeper so that she can
install a back door that would exit onto an existing sidewalk.
.
Sell asked the applicant if she'd be able to continue parking cars on the existing
concrete pad near the proposed new garage. Bakken said she is not anticipating any
problems. Grimes noted that that applicant could put a turnaround area on the other
side of her driveway.

Sell asked the applicant how long she has lived at this property. Bakken said she's
owned the property since 2000.
Grimes stated that the applicant is fortunate to have approximately 19 feet available in
her side yard to be able to build a second garage stall. He added that typically the City
doesn't like to see garages come any closer than 5 feet to the property line and in this
case there will still be 7 feet from the new garage to the property line.
Sell noted that the applicant can't build a garage further toward
because it drops down too much.

a corner lot and therefore has two front yard setbacks. He stated
oted hardship is the awkward layout of the lot and placing the shed
n the lot would deny them reasonable use of the property.
Michele Lanci-Altomare, Applicant, stated that the property has been neglected for
several years and that they've just recently replaced a "patchwork" fence. She stated
that because of the location of an existing porch on the back of the house it would be a
hardship for her to put a shed in a conforming location. She said that if they locate the
shed where they are proposing she would have full access to it, it would still be located
35 feet away from the street and within the confines of her new fence, it would still allow
her full use of her back yard and she wouldn't have to destroy landscaping that is
already in place. She showed the Board pictures of the proposed shed and said that

property.
McCarty asked the applicant how long she has lived at this property. Lanci-Altomare
said she has lived at this property since January 2007.
Boudreau-Landis opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to
comment, Boudreau-Landis closed the public hearing.
Boudreau-Landis asked about side yard setback requirements. Grim
an accessory structure is required to be 5 feet away from side an

Lanci-Altomare said that some of her other neighbors have sheds located in their front
yards. She said she doesn't feel as if the shed would be encroaching on anybody or
cause any problem because it will be screened with trees. Grimes stated that there was
a neighbor across the street that was made to remove their shed because it was
located in the front yard.

Morrissey asked if the Board has discussed removing trees in the past. Grimes stated
that there have been discussions about trees being a hardship and there are differing
opinions. He said he knows that the applicant wants to create a buffer from Medicine
Lake Road and she feels that a shed will help do that.
Morrissey said she realizes that the Board can debate whether the issues raised are
hardships or conveniences, but if she lived at this property she would put the shed
where it is being proposed and she is comfortable with the variance request. She added
that it is a corner lot and the hardship is the property itself.

the City Council because she is working with a tight deadline. Grimes asked the
applicant if she had considered placing the shed in a north/south position instead.
Lanci-Altomare said she did consider that but it would make the shed be located even
closer to the house.
MOVED by McCarty, seconded by Sell and motion carried 3 to 1 to deny the requested
variance. Morrissey voted no.

licant, stated that they are not adding to the footprint of the
proposing to build straight up on top of the garage. He said the house
was bUl 1950s and there is no attic and no basement and they really need some
space for storage. He added that the aesthetics of the home will be greatly enhanced
by adding a peaked roof and getting rid of the existing flat roof garage. He noted that
the neighbor to the north at 5755 Westbrook Road has stated that she would like the
garbage cans to be screened from her view. He said that they did plant bushes to help
screen the garbage cans but they haven't grown very well so he is willing to install a
fence to screen the garbage.

Harris referred to the existing shed and stated that it is in an area that is very well
screened and if he moved it he thinks the neighbor's view would be ruined.
Ryan Grefsheim, Contractor for the project, stated that the applicants currently have an
offsite storage facility and building this storage area would allow them to have their
things in their home.
Grimes asked if the proposed storage area would be a heated space. Grefsheim said
yes, but it will not be used as a bedroom at this time.

Teresa Murphy, Planning Intern
6620 Plymouth Ave North
A.K. (Marc) Hilal, Applicant
To:
From:
Subject:
A.K. (Marc) Hilal is the owner of the property located at 6620 Plymouth Avenue North. This is a
corner lot with two front yards; one on the west and one on the south side of the lot. The
property includes an existing two story house with a drive under garage, three season porch,
and stairs leading to a second story deck. Mr. Hilal is proposing to remove the existing stairs and
deck and replace it with an 80 sq. ft. (8' X 10') balcony off of the existing porch as well as a small
"eye brow" above the garage door. The variance request is to allow for the construction of the
new balcony.
According to the applicant's submittal, the hardship with this property is that the balcony is
needed so that the sliding door off of the porch does not lead to a four foot drop.
The proposed project requires the following variances from City Code:
Section 11.21, Subd. 10(A)(A) Front Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code
states that front yard setbacks in the R-1 Zoning District shall be at least 35 ft. The variance
request is for 10ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 25 ft. at its closest point to the front
(west) property line to allow for construction of a new balcony.
Section 11.21, Subd.10(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements. The City's Zoning Code
states that front yard setbacks in the R-1 Zoning District shall be at least 35 ft. The variance
request is for one (1) foot off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 34 ft. at its closest point to the
front yard (south) property line.
The City's file for this property indicates that a variance was approved for this property on
August 13, 1999 to allow for the construction of a new three season porch. A variance
requesting 12 ft. off the required 35 ft. front yard setback to a distance of 23 ft. at its closest point
to the west front yard property line was granted.

5612 Olson Memorial Highway
Tennant Company (Lawrence Spears), Applicant
To:
From:
Subject:
Tenant Company has requested a variance for the property located at 5612 Olson Memorial
Highway. Tenant Compa.ny is proposing to construct a 50,000 square foot "Rebuild Center" on
the rear of the existing building. The proposed Rebuild Center will encroach 34.74 feet off the
required 50 feet to a distance of 15.26 feet at its closest point to the side yard (west) property
line. Bertelson Brothers is the current owner of the property; however, Tenant Company will
assume ownership in the future.
According to the applicant's submittal, the hardship with this property is that the current
structure on the property exists within the side yard setback boundary area. Reasonable and
aesthetic additions to the structure would also need to take place within that setback area.
The proposed project requires the following variances from City Code:
Section 11.35, Subd. 6(C)(2) Side Yard Setback Requirements. The Zoning Code states in
the case of premises adjoining a Multiple Dwelling, Business and Professional Office, or
institutional Zoning Districts, required side and rear yard setbacks shall not be less than 50 feet
in depth. Tenant Company, in agreement with Bertelson Brothers, is requesting 34.74 feet off
the required 50 feet to a distance of 15.26 feet at its closest point to the side yard (west)
property line.
No previous variance requests have been found for this property.

--ATTACHMENT 'A'-
Item 3: Detailed description of bulldlng(s), additlon(s), and alterat/on(s) Involved In this
petition.
The property at 5612 Olson Memorial Highway requires a two-fold variance application and
review. The current building/property was built in 1961 and is non-compliant with the current
zoning standards. The front yard setback of 35' is not currently maintained as green area and
includes parking. A corner of the building canopy also projects into this setback space. The side
yard setback to the west also makes this building non-compliant. The adjacent property is zoned
Business and Professional Office and therefore a 50' setback is required (20' required if zoned
Light Industrial on adjacent properties). This existing sideyard of 15' +/- is maintained as a buffer
zone of landscaping. The side yard to the west does not have Y:z of this maintained as a buffer
zone with parking up to the property line. Due to the existing nature of the building and the site, it
is not feasible to alter the building to comply with current zoning requirements.
Part 1 - apply for variance for existing building to exist with the afore mentioned non-compliant
items of the current zoning ordinance.
.
Tennant Company is currently seeking to expand the existing building to meet the service needs
of the company with a Rebuild Center of approximately 5,000 square feet. In order to maintain
proper use of the site with parking and traffic flow while also providing a logical connection to the
functions of the existing building, this addition would extend off the north side of the building to
the same extents and width of the current building. This building would be constructed of similar
materials - concrete block with steel roof structure. The addition would be 25' in height.
Part 2 - apply for variance for addition to existing building with a side yard satback of 15.25' in
lieu of the I'fJquired 50'.
No work will be conducted on the existing parking lot with the exception of 3 stalls of parking
being given up for access to the new service bay (bituminous surface will remain).
Tennant Company would also like to discuss and recommend for the current and future
comprehensive planning process that the adjacent properties be rezoned Light Industrial to
eliminate the 'spot zoning' that is taking place on these properties.

5612 Olson Memorial Highway
-ATTACHMENT 'B'-
Item 4: A brief stattament of the hardship which provides legal grounds for the granting of
this variance.
The property at 5612 Olson Memorial Highway indudes an office/warehouse building that was
constructed. in 1-9E31 and does not conform with the current zoning codes for front yard and side
yard setbacks. The Tennant Company has this property under-contract to purchase and continue
to use as an officelwarehouse facility. Tennant Company seeks to obtain a variance of the
setback requirements for the front and side-lot for this property. Due to the age of the building and
its location on the property, it would be unfeasible for the building to be changed to conform to the
current setback requirements; or be used for any use.
The Tennant Company is seeking to expand the building on the north-side of the existing building
by approximately 5,000 square feet to meet the service and production needs of its business. The
expansion space will be on the same side-lot setback as the existing building. The Tennant
Company owns the adjoining property to the west that the side-lot setback affects. Tennant also
owns the property'to the north of the property. The expansion on the n-orth-side of the building will
not affect the neighboring properties and will not be easily seen from the roadways.
.
If a vanance is not granted on the setbacks, the existing building and the contemplated expansion
could not be used by Tennant and the company would have to terminate the purchase of this
property. Tennant Company is seeking to bring production and service jobs to Golden Valley and
focus its operations immediately surrounding its corporate headquarters and main production
facility. An approved variance on this property will help ensure that Tennant can continue to grow
in Golden Valley.

6717 Plymouth Avenue North
Roy Kelly, Applicant
To:
From:
Subject:
.
Roy Kelly is the owner of the property located at 6717 Plymouth Avenue North. Mr. Kelly is
proposing to construct an open front porch addition. The proposed front porch would encroach
Into the front yard setback. The variance request is to allow for the construction of the open front
porch.
According to the applicant's submittal, the hardship with this property is that there is a lack of
living space within the existing home. With the narrow configuration of the lot, and the full length
driveway on the west side of the property, area for structural expansion is limited to the front of
the home.
The proposed project requires the following variance from 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 R-1 Zoning District shall be at least 35 feet from any front
property line along a street right-of-way line, and that open front porches, with no screens, may
be built to within 30 feet of a front property line along a street right-of way line. The variance
request is for 3.6 feet off the required 30 ft. to a distance of 26.4 ft. at its closest point to the front
yard (north) property line.
The City's file for this property indicates that two variances were approved for this property on
May 11, 1998 to allow for the removal of the preexisting porch and construct a living addition and
deck/porch (with a roof) onto the front of the house. Also requested was the addition of living
areato the east and south side of the home. A variance requesting 9.5 ft. off the required 35 ft.
front yard setback to a distance of 25.5 ft. at its closest point to the north front yard property line
was granted.
A variance request for 1 ft off the required 10 ft. side yard setback to a distance of 9 ft. at its
closest point to the east side yard property line was also granted.

Joe Hogeboom, Planning Intern
6478 Westchester Circle
Jeremy C. Hagen, Applicant
From:
Subject:
Jeremy Hagen is the owner of the property located at 6478 Westchester Circle South. Mr.
Hagen is proposing to construct a deeper roof line over his existing garage. The proposed new
roof line, considered to be a cornice/eave, would encroach into the setback area. The variance
request is to allow for the construction a new garage roof line that would encroach into the
setback area.
According to the applicant's submittal, the hardship with this property is that the irregular shape
of the lot creates difficulty in meeting setback requirements. The curvilinear nature of the street
around the lot creates asymmetrical lot lines, also making it difficult to meet street set back
requirements.
The proposed project requires the following variance from City Code:
Section 11.21, Subd. 10(0) Cornices and Eaves. The City's Zoning Code states that cornices
and eaves may not project more than 30 inches into a required setback. The variance request is
for 6 inches more than the allowed 30 inches to a distance of 36 inches into the setback area.
The City's file for this property indicates that a variance request was approved for this property
on August 9, 1966. The variance allowed for the construction of a three-car garage stall that
encroached into the front yard setback. The variance request was for 4.5 ft. off the required 35 ft.
front yard setback to a distance of 30.5 feet at its closest point to the front (west) property line.

Detailed description of building(s), addition(s), and alteration(s) involved in this petition. The site
plans and drawings submitted with this petition will be the basis of any variance that may be
approved and cannot be changed before or after the building permit is issued.
See Attached Drawings. Foundation size & shape will not be altered. We simply want to add
a roof line that would provide a deeper porch (i.e. covered entrance) to the garage. The
proposed roof line would clip the porch setback on the very front right corner of the attached
garage by a couple feet. The proposed roof line changes would benefit us by having more
efficient water shed, give us greater rain & water protection by the garage and improve the
overall esthetics of the home.
4. A brief statement of the hardship which provides legal grounds for the granting of this variance
(see Frequently Asked Questions for an explanation of a "hardship"). Attach letter, photographs,
or other evidence, if appropriate.
Due to the irregular shaped lot (Westchester Circle curves around our house) there is a
"narrowing" between where the corner of the house and where the road curves. Our lot is
unique because it is pie shaped and therefore we have to abide by the set back rules of having
one very large "front" yard that happens to wrap around two sides of our house. My
understanding is that the set back requirements for the "front" of the house are much larger
than for setbacks on the "side" of the house. My plea is this corner of the house would
normally be considered a side if it were on a more rectangular shaped lot and therefore have
much less of a setback requirement.
5. To the best of my knowledge the statements found in this application are true and correct. I also
understand that unless construction of the action applicable to this variance request, if granted,
is not taken within one year, the variance expires.

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
y possible effect the granting of this variance could have on your property. You will also be
ceiving 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
atements regarding the project.

640 Westwood Drive South
Eric and Laura Kehrberg, Applicants
To:
From:
Subject:
Eric and Laura Kehrberg are the owners of the property located at 640 Westwood Drive South.
Mr. and Mrs. Kehrberg are proposing to construct a new garage addition. The proposed new
garage addition would ericroach into the front yard setback. The variance request is to allow for
the construction of a new garage addition.
According to the applicant's submittal, the hardship with this property is that the existing garage,
which is measured to be less than 20' x 20', does not provide adequate space for vehicle
parking and storage. The property is a corner lot, making the structure subject to two front yard
setback requirements. The existing garage encroaches 5.8 feet into the east front yard setback
and 14.4 feet into the north front yard setback. Alterations to the existing garage would encroach
into both setbacks.
The proposed project requires the following variances from 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 R-1 Zoning District shall be at least 35 feet from any front
property line along a street right-of-way line. The first variance request is for 5.8 feet off the
required 35 ft. to a distance of 29.2 ft. at its closest point to the front yard (east) property line.
Section 11.21, Subd. 1 0(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements. As mentioned above, the
City's Zoning Code states that front yard setbacks in the R-1 Zoning District shall be at least 35
feet from any front property line along a street right-of-way line. The second variance request is
for 20 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 15 feet at its closest point to the front yard
(north) property line.
The City's file for this property indicates that three variance requests were approved for this
property on March 8, 2002:
. 5.8 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 29.2 feet for the existing home at its
closest point to the front yard property line along the east side of Westwood Drive South.
. 14.4 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 20.6 feet for the existing home at its
closest point of the front yard property line along the north side of Westwood Drive South.
. .4 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 14.6 feet for the existing home at its closest
point to the south side property line.

Date: June 14, 2007
To: City of Golden Valley
From: Colin Oglesbay, Shelter Architecture
Dear Golden Valley,
As the representatives for Laura and Eric Kehrberg we present the following
issues as evidence of hardships to build a typical two car garage at 640 West
wood Drive South in Golden Valley, MN:
1) The existing house and attached garage built in 1940 are less than 20'
x 20' making it difficult to park 2 typical family vehicles in the garage
and store the common household goods such as bicycles, tools, sports
equipments, etc.
2) The current garage was placed at 29.2' from the front setback to the
East and 20.6' from the corner side yard setback which is also zoned
as a front yard setback. Therefore 80% of the existing, substandard
garage is well beyond the current setbacks. Lisa Wittman pointed out a
front yard setback requirements of 35' on each property line adjacent to
Westwood Drive on June 14, 2007 (North and East Boundaries).
3) The property sits directly above Strawberry Pond in North Tyrol Park
on a severely sloped, wooded lot. Large retaining walls have been
installed previously to create a very modest back yard (approx. 2000
sq. ft) making it very difficult to build a working garage without massive
excavation and deforestation and destroying the natural qualities of the
property for the owners and neighborhood. The garage would literally
need to set behind the house.
It is our professional opinion that the only way to construct a working garage
for the property it to maintain the existing building line to the East with a
minimum footprint. This will provide the client with a typical attached garage
and a building mass more in keeping with the standards of the neighborhood.
Please contact Shelter Architecture with any further questions and concerns.
Sincerely,
Colin Oglesbay
zrchitecture, lie.
