Grimes explained the variance requests. He suggested the Board grant the second
variance request listed (13.7 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 21.3 feet at its
closest point to the property line along Culver Road for the existing garage) with or
without the first variance request being granted to make the garage legally non-
conforming which would permit conforming additions to be added to the property in the
future.

setback condition worse than it already is. He stated that he thinks this

one.
Smith asked the applicants if they had some flexibility since they don't have a plan. Lisa
Jacobson stated that they do have flexibility, and that the character of the house and
neighborhood are important to her but she wants to make her home more livable and she
doesn't think that the addition they are proposing would put the home out of place with

Shaffer asked the applicants if they thought it would be to their advantage to table their
request in order to hire an architect or designer to draw up some more concrete plans.
McCracken-Hunt said that the Board is usually reacting to plans and that the dimensions
they are requesting now may change. Lisa Jacobson said that they want to see the area
they can build in before they hire an architect to draw the plans.

Grimes stated that there are two variance requests for this proposal in case the Board
doesn't approve the first variance request for the proposed attached garage expansion
the other request would make the existing attached garage legally non-conforming.

Grimes discussed the requested variances and stated that this property is unique
because it has streets on three sides and that the rear yard acts like a side yard.
McCracken-Hunt asked if statt had talked to the applicant about how the City views
variances for third stall garages. Grimes stated yes.
Douglas Pagenkopf, applicant, said he understands that the Board is not so inclined to
approve a variance to go from a two-stall garage to a three-stall garage are
from a one-stall to a two-stall. He stated that he has a boat outside t like to
store in a garage. He stated that their current garage is small at 2 e feet
long and even with the proposed expansion it wouldn't be an ov bu . He

would allow him to build more. McCracken-Hunt said it would allow the
lid up to 15 feet to the property line.
.
Shatter asked the applicant if that would help him. Pagenkopf said that's not going to
help and that if he bought a half a million dollar home he would get a 3-car garage. He
said that there are some 3-car garages already in his neighborhood. Shatter said the
City doesn't have anything against 3-car garages. McCracken-Hunt added that they just
have to be within the setbacks.

.
Smith said he could sympathize with the applicant wanting a 3rd garage stall but that
hiding a boat isn't considered a hardship.
Rick Christensen, architect for the project, asked if anything could be built in the
setback area. Shaffer said that no building structure could be built. Christensen asked
about roof overhangs. Grimes said 30 inches of overhang can go into the setback area.
Christensen said he is concerned with the way the architecture would work with the way
the house is laid out.

Grimes explained that the applicants are requesting to build a covered porch addition
that would be about 19 feet into the setback area. He stated that the other homes in the
area probably aren't setback 35 feet either, but that this one is a little closer. He said he
is recommending that if the variance isn't granted for the porch that the second

Dale John and Claire Joseph, Applicant
From:
Subject:
Dale John and Claire Joseph own the house at 7900 Wesley Drive (northwest corner of Wesley
Dr. and Winnetka Ave.). They are requesting a variance from the Residential zoning code
(Section 11.21) in order to allow the construction of a conforming deck on the rear of their home.
When the applicants came to the Inspections Department to get the building permits necessary
for the construction, it was determined that a survey was needed first to indicate the existing
location of the buildings on the property. A survey was prepared and submitted indicating that the
existing house and shed do not meet building setback requirements. Therefore, variances would
be needed prior to construction of the deck.
As part of preparation for this memo, staff visited the site. Digital photos were taken. In this case,
it was determined that all buildings were not shown on the survey despite directions given to the
surveyor. You will notice when you visit the site that there is a second shed along the west side of
the house. This shed does not meet setback requirements.
The applicant has indicated that the shed in the rear of the yard will be moved to a conforming
location prior to the issuance of any building permits for the deck. Staff recommends the same
requirement for the second shed along the west side of the house. (Sheds must be located
behind the main dwelling, at least ten feet from the dwelling, at least 35 ft. from any street, and at
least five feet from a rear or side property line.)
The Planning staff has asked the Inspection Department to look at the site to determine if there
are any violations related to outside storage. The recreational vehicle appears to lack a license.
Recreational vehicles must be properly licensed in order to be stored by the owner on their
property in the Residential zoning district. These matters will be addressed outside the variance
process.
The variance requested is as follows:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7 (A) Front Yard Setback. City Code states that the front yard setback
shall be 35 ft. from the front property line. The variance requested is for 12.9 ft. off the
required 35 ft. to a distance of 22.01 ft. at its closest point to the front property line along
Wesley Drive for the existing home.
The City's file on this property reveals that the house was constructed in 1956. The City
approved the location of the house at that time.

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, I
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
statements regarding the project.

2012 Mendelssohn Ave. N. (03-05-13)
Jill Robbins, Applicant
Jill Robbins owns the house at 2012 Mendelssohn Ave. N. This home was constructed last year
and was recently occupied. The landscaping on the site has not yet been completed. The
applicant is requesting a variance from the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The rear
yard setback variance would permit the construction of a 10ft. by 12 ft. deck off the second level
of the house.
The survey clearly indicates that a proposed 10ft. by 12 ft. deck would extend into the required
rear yard setback. The applicant was told by the Inspections Department thata small landing
area extending five feet into the rear yard off the second level patio door would be permitted
without a variance. The applicant has decided that she would like to have a larger deck off the
patio door in order to provide enough space for a table and chairs.
The variance request is as follows:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(8) Rear Yard Setback. City Code states that the rear yard
setback shall be 20% of lot depth. The variance requested is for 4.44 ft. off the required
23.44 ft. to a distance of 19 ft. at its closest point to the rear yard property line for the
proposed deck.
The City's file on this property reveals that the building permit for the construction of this house
was issued last year.

From:
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject:
1301 Zealand Ave. N. (03-05-14)
Cary Lee owns the house and property at 1301 Zealand Ave. N. (northwest corner of Zealand
Ave. N. and Plymouth Ave.). He came to the City to apply for a building permit in order to
construct a 20 ft. by 24 ft. addition to the south end of his house. Because there is no current
survey for the property, a survey was required to determine if the construction could be done
without the need for a variance. The survey submitted by the applicant indicates the proposed
addition will require a variance from the Zoning Code (Section 11.21). Also, the survey
discovered that the existing house and detached garage do not meet building setback
requirements.
Staff also discovered that there is a shed on the property that does not meet setback
requirements. The shed is attached to the house and deck and is adjacent to the house. Sheds
are required to be located behind the house and at least 10ft. from the house. Sheds must
also be located 5 ft. from a rear or side property line and at least 35 ft. from a front property
line. The applicant has indicated that the deck and shed will be removed this summer and
replaced with a patio.
The following are the requested variances:
· 6 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 29 ft. at its closest point to the front yard property
line along Plymouth Ave. for the proposed addition.
· 0.9 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 34.1 ft. at its closest point to the front property
line along Zealand Ave. for the proposed addition.
· 4.1 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 30.9 ft. at its closest point to the front property
line along Zealand Ave. for the existing home.
A review of the City file on this property indicates that the home was constructed in 1963.

Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
From:
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject:
1336 Quebec Ave. N. (03-05-15)
Gary Goetz, Applicant
Gary Goetz owns the house and property at 1336 Quebec Ave. N. (southeast corner of Quebec
Ave. N. and Knoll St.). The applicant came to the Inspection Department to apply for a building
permit. In this case, it was obvious that the existing house and proposed mudroom/garage
addition would not meet the front setback requirement of 35 ft. found in Section 11.21 of the
Zoning Code. A survey was required to determine the exact location of the home on the lot and
the location of the proposed mudroom/garage addition. The survey indicates that the side setback
on the east is met by the existing house and proposed addition. The rear setback (south) is also
met by the proposed addition. It should be noted that the existing shed on the lot would have to
be removed in order to make room for the addition. This home is one of a few in Golden Valley
that does not have a garage.
The following are the requested v~riances:
· The first variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code
states that the setback from streets (front or side) shall be 35 ft. The requested variance is
19.7 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 15.3 ft. at its closest point to the front (west)
yard property line along Quebec Ave. for the existing house.
· The second variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code
states that the setback from streets (front or side) shall be 35 ft. The requested variance is
17 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 18 ft. at its closest point to the front (west) yard
property line along Quebec Ave. for the proposed mudroom/garage addition.
The City's file indicates that the house was built 1941. The file indicates that there was a 20 ft. by
20 ft. garage constructed along with the house.

Signatures of Surrounding Property Owners
Note to the variance applicant:
s part of the variance application process, you will need to attempt to obtain the signatures of all
rrounding 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
any possible effect the granting of this variance could have on your property. You will also be
receiving 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.
.,oomments can contain language of agreeing with the project, objecting to the project or other
WJatements regarding the project.
