Purpose: To allow for the construction of a balcony Hogeboom referred to a survey of the property. He explained that the applicant is requesting two variances in order to construct a balcony. He stated that the hardship noted by the applicant is that a balcony is needed because there is a sliding glass door in the house and there would be a large drop if a balcony wasn't constructed. Also this property is a corner lot and has large setback requirements on both street sides. . Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals June 26, 2007 Page 2 . Keysser asked if the proposed balcony would be replacing the existing deck located on the front of the house. Hogeboom said yes. Marc Hilal, Applicant, stated that the existing deck is 40 years old and is rotting so he wants to replace a portion of it with the proposed balcony. He said that the balcony would go to the same distance to the west as the existing deck and they will be removing a set of stairs. . 10ft. off the require yard (west) propert a y because it lIy for the existing Boudreau-Landis asked the applicant if he needs stairs to get access Hilal said no and explained that there is access to a front door, a ba proposed balcony would provide access from the sliding glass d Boudreau-Landis opened the public hearing.

He stated that the property is currently owned by Bertelson Brothers but Tennant is in the process of acquiring the property. He clarified that the proposed "re-build" center is actually a 5,000 square foot addition and not 50,000 square feet as stated on the agenda and staff report.

Purpose: To allow for the construction of an open front porch addition Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals June 26, 2007 Page 4 . Hogeboom stated that the applicant is requesting a variance from front yard setback requirements in order to construct an open front porch. He explained that the hardship in this case (as stated by the applicant) is that the lot is fairly narrow and there is a driveway on one side of the lot so any additions to the home would have to be made toward the front. Keysser noted that the survey shows that there is an addition located in the front of the house and asked if that is where the proposed front porch would be locat . . Roy Kelly, Applicant, explained that there used to be a front porch 10 but that it has been demolished and that he is now proposing to d the front of the house where that old porch was located and th uild porch onto the new addition.

Grimes e Zoning Code allows people to round-up to the next whole foot so the case would not need a side yard variance. Boudreau-Landis stated that there should be two variance requests. One for the proposed new addition on the house to be built to within 30.4 ft. of the front yard property line and the second would be for the open front porch to be within 26.4 ft. of the front yard property line. Grimes agreed and said that the Board's motion should address two variances, not one as the agenda and staff report state. . . . .

Hey Planning 763-593-8095 I 763-593-8109 (fax) Date: July 18, 2007 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 603 Parkview Terrace Houston White, Jr., Applicant Houston White Jr. is the owner of the property located at 603 Parkview Terrace in the North Tyrol neighborhood. Within the last year, Mr. White purchased the lot and demolished the home that was located on it. He is now in the process of constructing a new home on the lot. The home is nearly completed and he hopes to occupy the home in August 2007. As of this date. a certificate of occupancy has not been issued by the Inspections Department for the house. It recently came to the attention of City staff that the house was constructed to 32 ft. in height. The zoning code allows houses to be 30 ft. or less in height. Therefore, Mr. White must resolve this height issue prior to occupancy of the building. He has chosen to apply for a variance to allow the building to remain at 32 ft. in height. According to the C;Jpplicant's submittal, the hardship with this property is that the new house was nearly complete when the height problem was discovered by City staff. The applicant stated that the cost to tear of a portion of the building would be tremendous. The cause of the height problem was a miscommunication between the masonry contractor and the architect. According to Mr. White the foundation wall was constructed 2 ft. taller than what the approved plan shows. As part of the original submittal for a building permit, Mr. White's building plans showed a house that was 32 ft. high. He was told that the plans would have to be changed to show a house with a maximum height of 30 ft. A new plan was submitted that showed a 30 ft, high hOlJse. About three weeks ago, the City staff was inspecting the house and there was a concern about the height of one of the floors. Mr. White was asked to verify the height of the house. His surveyor measured the height and determined that it was 32 ft. high. The issue of hardship has to be considered by the Board when considering the request. Staff is concerned about this variance request meeting the true test of a hardship because it was due to a mistake in the construction of the building. Also, the applicant was well aware of the height requirement of 30 ft. If the BZA approves the variance, the house can be issued a certificate of occupancy when the house is complete. If the BZA denies the variance request, the applicant may appeal to the City Councilor bring the house into conformity by reducing the height. If the Council approves the variance, a certificate of occUpancy would be issued when the house is complete. . . . If the City Council denies the variance, the house would have to be reduced in height prior to issuance of Gl certificate of occupancy. If he refuses to bring the building into conformance, this is a violation of the zoning code and the building code. These violations are misdemeanors. The City Attorney and City Council would have to decide about how these violations would be addressed. The newly constructed house requires the following variance from City Code in order to remain at the current height of 32 ft.: Section 11.21, Subd. 10(8) Height limitations. The City's Zoning Code states that the maximum height of a principle structure in the R-1 Zoning District shall be 30 ft. The variance request is for 2 ft. higher than the allowed 30 ft. to a height of 32 ft. There is no record of a previous variance request at this address.

The property inpludes an existing one-story house with an attached one-car garage. The applicants are proposing to add a second story addition, an open front porch, and expand the existing garage. The variance requests are to allow for the construction of the second story addition and the open front porch. No variance is needed for the expansion on the existing garage. According to the applicant's submittal, the h'ardship with this property is that the existing house was built too close to the front yard property line and is closer than the 35 ft. required setback. This limits their ability to build a porch on the front of the house. Also, the existing house was built too close the east side yard property line which limits their ability to add a second story addition. The side yard setback requirements do not require a variance for the proposed second story addition. However, since the existing house is closer than the 35 ft. required front yard setback, a zoning variance request is required to allow for the proposed second story addition. 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 ft. Open fron(porches, with no sere'ens, may be built to within 30 feet of a front property line along a street right-of-way line. The variance request is for 5.08 ft. off the required 30 ft. to a distance of 24.92 ft. at its closest point to the front (south) property line to allow for construction of an open front porch. 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 6.08 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 28.92 ft. at its closest point to the front (south) property line to allow for the construction of a second story addition.

Douglas Tousey is the owner of the property located at 550 Kelly Drive. This is a corner lot with three sides on street frontages; on the north, west, and east sides of the lot. The property includes an existing singfe-story house with a detached garage measuring 22.3 ft. X 16.3 ft. Mr. Tousey is proposing to remove the existing garage and replace it with a 22 ft. X 26 ft. two-car garage on the same site. The variance request is to allow for the construction of a new two-car garage. According to the applicant's submittal, the hardship with this property is that increasing the width of the garage is necessary to construct a two-car garage. The existing garage has a cracked and rotten foundation in the northeast corner of the building. 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 ft. The variance request is for 12.5 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 22.5 ft. at its closest point to the front (north) property line to allow for construction of a new garage. 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 16 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 19 ft. at its closest point to the front yard (east) property line to allow for construction of a new garage. The City's file for this property indicates that a zoning variance was approved for this property on June 11, 1968 to allow for the construction of a new closed porch and to bring the existing house and garage into conformance. .

Hey Planning 763-593-8095 I 763-593-8109 (fax) Date: July 12, 2007 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals Joe Hogeboom, Planning Intern 1205 Idaho Avenue North Christopher Knight, Applicant From: Subject: Christopher Knight is the owner of the property located at 1205 Idaho Avenue North. He is proposing to construct a new garage addition to the east side of the house. The new garage addition would encroach' 12 ft. into the front yard setback on the east side of the property. The property is located on a corner lot, with the existing home facing south. In addition, the proposed garage would partially encroach into the required 50 foot setback from the top of the bank of the creek along Bassett Creek. According to the applicant's submittal, the hardship with this property is that there is currently no garage on site. Constructing a garage to adjoin the existing home and the existing driveway, would require a variance to city setback requirements. The proposed project requires the following variances from City Code: Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (A)(2) Front Yard Setback Requirements. The Zoning Code states that front yard setbacks for accessory structures in the R-1 Zoning District shall be no less than 35 feet from the front property line along a street right-of-way line. The variance request is for 10.6 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 24.4 ft. at its closest point to the front (east) property line to allow for the construction of a garage. Section 11.65, Subd. 5(A) Zoning Provisions. The Zoning Code states that structures shall setback at least 50 feet from the Ordinary High Water Line (or top of the bank of the creek), in this case being Bassett Creek. The variance request is for 7 ft. off the required 50 ft. to a distance of 43 ft. at its closest point to the top of the bank of Bassett Creek. In addition to the aforementioned proposal, Mr. Knight is also requesting that the 2 existing sheds located on the property be brought into conformance with zoning code requirements. According to the applicant's submittal, the reason for the location of the existing sheds is directly due to the current lack of garage space on the property. In order for the two sheds to remain in their current location, the following variances are required: . . . Shed A (Easternmost Shed) Section 11.21, Subd.11(A)(2) Front Yard Setback Requirements for Accessory Structures. The zoning code states that accessory structures shall be located no less than 35 feet from the front property line along a street right-of-way line. The variance request is for 8.7 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 26.3 ft. at its closest point to the front (east) property line. Section 11.21, Subd. 11(A)(1) Location Requirements for Accessory Structures. The zoning code states that detached accessory structures shall be located completely to the rear of the principle structure, unless it is built with frost footings.
