than 1,000 square feet of garage space. He said that the applicant has indicated that
he will convert some of the existing garage space into living space and suggested
making that a condition of approval.
Shaffer asked the applicant if had updated plans to look at. Jerry Kassanchuk, applicant

way to do this proposed addition. He said that it seemed to be the Board's inclination to

Shaffer asked the applicant what has changed in his proposal. Shaun Graham,
applicant stated that he hired a designer per the suggestion of the Board. Shaffer
stated that he did want to see elevations of the addition, but it would be so imposing on
the street front. He asked the applicant if there were any way to move the addition
back. Graham stated he could not move the addition back because of an existing
stairway in the garage. Shaffer told the applicant that he could make the proposed
garage smaller and that these plans haven't really progressed from the previous time
the Board has seen them.

From: Dan Olson, City Planner
Subject: 235 Paisley Lane (02-12-71)
Jerry Kassanchuk, Applicant
Date: December 11, 2002
Jerry Kassanchuk, with property located at 235 Paisley Lane, is requesting variances from
the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicant has approached the City to build
a garage and room addition to the east side of the existing home. This addition requires
variances from building setback requirements. Below is the requested variance request:
· The first requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback.
City Code states that the front yard setback shall be 35 feet from the front yard property
line. The variance requested is for 9.9 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 25.1
feet at its closest point to the front property line along Ski Hill Road for the proposed room
and garage addition.
· The second requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(1) Side Yard
Setbacks. City Code states that the distance between any part of a dwelling or structure
and the side lot lines shall be governed by the following requirements: In the case of lots
having a width over 100 feet, the side yard setback shall be 15 feet. The requested
variance is for 7 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 8 feet at it closest point to the
north side yard property line for the proposed room and garage addition.
Previously, this property received a variance. In July of 2002, a variance was granted for this
property for a proposed room and garage addition. The minutes from the July 23, 2002 BZA
meeting are attached for your review. Now, the applicant has revised his building plans by
moving the location of addition, which requires further additional variance requests.
According to the applicant, the building plans call for 836 square feet of proposed garage
space. The applicant already has 370 square feet of garage space. Therefore, after the
addition is built the applicant would have 1, 206 square feet of garage space. The City has a
policy of limiting a property to 1,000 square feet of garage and accessory building space.
The applicant has indicated that he will convert some of the existing garage space to a music
studio.
.
.
.
If the Board of Zoning Appeals approves this variance, staff suggests that the Board add the
following condition of approval:
1. After the addition is built, the applicant have no more than 1,000 square feet of
garage space.
The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in July of 1950 for the
construction of the home. No other pertinent information was found in the file.

Olson stated that the applicant is proposing to build a garage and 3-story addition on
the east side of his home, which would require a variance from the front yard setback
requirements.
Jerry Kassanchuk, applicant stated that because of the way the house is sitting on the
lot it is hard to add any additions except to the east. He stated there are only two
neighbors .that this addition would affect and that the east side of the lot is very heavily
wooded.
Shaffer stated that this proposal seemed logical and the addition wouldn't affect any of
the surrounding neighbors. He added that it is going to be hard to even see the new
addition because of all the trees on the lot.
Cera asked if there is also a north side yard setback issue. Olson stated that the
applicant has redesigned his plans and that the north side yard setback requirement of
15 feet would be met.
