From:
Kristin A Gonzalez, Planning Intern
Subject:
4901 Winsdal.e Street
Ron Wallace" Applicant
Ron Wallace owns the property. at 4901 Winsdale Street. The applicant is requesting a
variance from Section 11.21, Subd.1 o (A)(1 ), Front Yard Setback, and Section 11.21 Subd.
11 (E) Accessory. Structure Requirements, in order to construct an addition to his home. This
addition includes a new garage and living space. A survey was required to obtain
information regarding the existing structures on the property.
The owner is remodeling the home onthisproperty. He plans to add on a few feet tothefront
ofthe house, add.on a front porch with living space above and a new addition which will be a
new garage with living space above. The front porch addition will come out the furthest and
bring the home to 28.7 ft at its closest point to the. north side property line. The proposed
garage and living area addition is 11.2 sq. ft. larger then the allowed size of an accessory
structure.
~ The applicant states that his hardship is the size and shape of the lot. The home sits on a
good size lot, which is over 14,000 sq. ft' andwould have plenty of room to expand. The
problem is it's a narrow lot, 75 ft. wide, located on a corner, and therefore subjected to two
front yard setbacks. The 35 'ft' front yard setback line on the Winsdale Street side is located
almost half way through the property. The home is also located 0.2 ft off the rear yard
setback line, so there is no space to expand in that direction.
Staff has informed the applicant that he needs tobave some spot elevations taken to be sure
that there will be positive flow of drainage across the property. He can continue on with
variance process, but this needs to be done before a building permitis issued.
The project requires a variance from the following City Code Regulations:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 10 (A)(1), FrontYard Setbacks. City Code states thaHhe required
front yard setback shall be 35 feet from any front propertyHne along a street right-of-way
line. The requested variance is for 6.3 ft. off the required 35ft. to a distance of 28.7 ft. at its
closest point to the front yard property line. '
.
.
.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 11 (E) Accessory Structures. City Code states that each property
is limited to a total of 1,000 sq. ft. of the following accessory structures: detached and
attached garages, detached sheds, greenhouses, and gazebos. The requested variance is
for 112 sq. ft. more then the allowed 1,000 sq. ft. for a total size of 1,112 sq. ft. of accessory
structure space.
A review ofthe City file indicates that the house was built in 1956. In 1980, the homeowners
received a rear yard variance to construct a small deck in place ofa stafrcase on the back of
their home. No other major additions have been made to the house since that time. ,

The City of Golden Valley
Mrs. Lisa Wittman

Golden Valley, MN 55427
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Ron Wallace and I am writing this letter as a "Statement of Hardship"
concerning my application for a variance on the property located as 4901 Winsdale St.
in Golden Valley.
The property in consideration does present some unusual circumstance which I feel
should qualify as a hardship as per the stated definition. Although the property is
relatively large, the setbacks are such that they come back 35' from the street,
(approximately halfway through the property). This does not allow for adequate space to
complete the proposed additions to the property.
During the application process I had the opportunity to meet the wonderful neighbors
directly adjacent to my property, all of whom appeared to support the propose additions
to the property.
It is my sincere hope that the City of Golden Valley looks favorably upon my request for
the variance to the property so that we can continue to improve on our already beautiful
city!
~tfully Submitted,
f!iztV'~~.. ...
