Smith asked the applicant if he has contracted with someone to do the work yet. John
stated that he is going to be the contractor.
.
Cera stated that the request seems to be pretty straight forward especially since the
proposed deck addition doesn't require any variances.

explained that if he built to the rear of the lot he would have to remove trees and doing
that would cut his already narrow lot into two parts, which wouldn't allow for a play area
for his kids. He added that the lot also slopes toward Plymouth Avenue.

Grimes sta ed that this lot currently has no garage on it. He stated that the applicant is
proposing to build an attached mudroom/garage addition on this fairly narrow corner lot.
He said that there is a shed currently on the lot that would need to be moved. Grimes
explained that a detached garage couldn't be added anywhere because of the
narrowness of the lot. He said that he thought that a house across the street was
granted a similar variance in the past.

To:
Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
From:
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject:
5120 Minnaqua Drive (03-06-18)
Neil Larsen and Susan Fridley, Applicants
Neil Larsen and Susan Fridley own the house at 5120 Minnaqua Drive. (This section of
Minnaqua Drive is a dead-end west of Regent Ave.) They are requesting four variances from
Section 11.21 of the Zoning Code in order to allow the construction of an addition and deck to the
rear of their hOl!se.
As part of the application procedure to get a building permit for the addition, it was determined
that there was not a current survey of the property and it appeared that variances would be
needed in order to get a building permit. The survey submitted with the variance application
revealed the need for variances for both the existing house and the proposed addition and deck.
The project requires variances from the following sections of City Code:
· The first requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback.
City Code states that the side yard setback shall be 15% of the lot width. In the case of
this lot, the side yard setback has been determined to be 14.25 ft. The variance
requested is for 6.07 ft. off the required 14.25 ft. to a distance of 8.18 ft. at its closest
point to the east side yard property line for the existing home.
. The second requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback.
City Code states that the side yard setback shall be 15% of the lot width. In the case of
this lot, the side yard setback has been determined to be 14.25 ft. The variance
requested is for 5.51 ft. off the required 14.25 ft. to a distance of 8.74 ft. at its closest
point to the west side yard property line for the existing home.
· The third requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback.
City Code requires that the front yard setback shall be 35 ft. from the front yard property
line or street right-of-way. The variance requested is for 7.79 ft. off the required 35 ft. to
a distance of 27.03 ft. at its closest point to the front yard property line along Minnaqua
Drive for the existing house with attached garage.
.
.
.
· The fourth requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback.
City Code states that the side yard setback shall be 15% of the lot width. In the case of
this lot, the side yard setback has been determined to be 14.25 ft. The variance
requested is for 4.25 ft. off the required 14.25 ft. to a distance of 10ft. at its closest point
to the east side yard property line for the proposed addition and deck.
As indicated on the survey, the proposed addition and deck will be constructed behind the
existing attached garage. The west wall of the addition and edge of deck will be an
extension of the garage wall. As stated in the applicant's letter, the property is within the
1 OO-year floodplain. In the case of this property, they have worked with the City and
created a flood control berm to eliminate or greatly reduce the problem with flooding.
There is a shed in the rear yard that is not shown on the survey. Staff has been to the site
and it is obvious that the shed is at least 5 ft. from both the rear and side property line and
at least 10ft. from the house. The survey also shows the stairway to the front of the house.
This is not considered a structure so it is not an intrusion into the front yard setback.
The City's file on this property reveals that the house was built in 1955. There have been
no expansions to the footprint of the house since it was built. There have been no other
variances granted to this property.

Golden Valley MN 55422
763-521-5454
Project
Addition of a 3-season porch to an existing house.
Hardship
The initial hardship stems from learning that our home is in a 1 OO-yearfloodplain, and
that the backyard and basement had flooded to a level of 18" before we bought the house
in 1997. (This was not disclosed to us by the seller.) We worked with the City of Golden
Valley on the Minnaqua Pond project and adopted the city's recommended solution of
building a flood-control berm behind the house. The berm was integrated into the
environment architecturally by building a patio inside the half-moon-shape between the
house and the berm.
Our lot borders the Briarwood Bird Sanctuary, a flood plain for Bassett Creek, with many
grasses and pockets of standing water. We are often unable to use our backyard due to
mosquito swarming. We are especially concerned about limiting our children'S exposure
to mosquitoes due to the West Nile virus.
These facts cause us to want to follow our neighbor's lead in adding an enclosed porch
behind the garage, on the eastern side of the lot. The proposed site will be out of
compliance with the side set-back, but will be no closer to the lot line than the existing
garage. We could not build to the west or to the south without encroaching further on the
lot line than the existing structure does. Building to the north of the house doesn't work
because of the berm-and-patio solution to the flooding problem. The proposed site is the
only one that works architecturally and does not build nearer a lotline than the existing
structure.
Precedent
Our next-door neighbors (John and Stephanie Condon, 5126 Minnaqua) were granted a
variance a few years ago to build a screen porch in the exact location as our proposed
porch, also within the 15-foot set-back (we have virtually identical houses on virtQally
identical lots).

Shawn and Carol Leer, Applicant
From:
Subject:
Shawn and Carol Leer own the house at 1517 Gettysburg Ave. that is north of Plymouth Rd. and
located on the same block at Lakeview Park. The applicant is requesting variances from two
requirements of the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The variances would allow for an
attached garage to be built on the southeast side of the existing home. When the applicant came
to the City with the proposal to build the attached garage to the front of the house, it was
immediately known that variances would be needed. Therefore, the application was completed
and survey done indicating the extent of the proposed variances.
The house was moved to this site in 1969 and it has never had a garage. The applicant has
stated that he has been looking forward to having a garage for 18 years. The lot drops off from
east to west about 8 ft. The applicant states that due to the drop off, a garage in the rear yard. is
not possible. Also, he knows that the back yard is subject to wetness that would make
construction more difficult.
The applicant originally proposed the garage to be 24 ft. wide. This meant that the garage would
be only 2.4 ft. from the south property line. Staff told the applicant that the absolute minimum is 3
ft. Therefore, the applicant reduced the size of the garage to 23 ft. in width in order to maintain at
least a 3 ft. side yard setback.
The following variances are requested in order to allow the proposed attached garage as
proposed:
. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side setback
on lots less than 70 ft. in width be at least 20% of the lot width on the south side. In this
case, the side setback is 12.51 ft. The variance request is for 9.11 ft. off the required 12.51
ft. to a distance of 3.4 ft. to the south side property line for the proposed garage addition.
. Section 11.21 Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that the setback trom
the front property line and a street right-ot-way shall be 35 ft. The variance request is for
16 ft. off the required 36 ft. to a distance of 19 ft. tor the proposed garage addition along
Gettysburg Ave.
The City's address file on this property indicates the house was moved to the lot in 1969. No
other pertinent information was found in the file.

Re: Varience Appeal for
Construction of garage
In 1985 when we purchased the above referenced property as our primary residence it did
not have a gagarge. It was at the time, and remains, our desire to add a garage to the
property. Unknown to us at the time were the plethora of obstacles in achieving the
desired outcome and provide us with the complete reasonale usage of the property.
Initially, we considered attaching the garage to the house somewhere on the south of the
house. In consideration of the setback requirements, several problems come into play:
1) The slope along the south foundation is quite dramatic. It would require exstensive
footings, foundation and block work, fill and concrete to achieve garage acesss that
would be level with the front elevation. Additionally, it would mean the loss of one or
more windows on the south of the home (dining room, kitchen and a lower level egress
window). The slope itself creates enormous challenges in regard to access, drainage and
the ultimate functional utility of such a proposed garage to the property in whole.
2) The water table at the rear of the property is very high. We considered the possibility
of constructing the garage to the rear of the property. There are several issues with this
scenario. Mainly, the garage would have to set on a floating slab. Our particular
situation is that the rear of our property and the park it abuts drains into Medicine Lake, it
is often swamp-like and mushy, even the park board cannot mow along the lot lines at the
rear of the abutting properties to the park. Consequently, the slab would be in constant
motion compromising the integrity of the structure. Additionally, this scenario would
entail a driveway that would envelope the entire south side of the house and a boot for
turn-around. Functional utility would be severely compromised. Snow removal issues
and access to the house would negatively impact the property.
3) The lot configuration presents yet another array of issues to overcome. As per the
survey, the southerly lot line runs at an angle decreasing the lot size from the front line to
the rear along the southerly line, thus, compromising the available area needed for a
double garage. At the time the house was moved onto the lot in 1969 a proposed survey
indicates the intent to construct an attached garage. That would have been feasible,
.
.
.
common and customary per the survey as related to setback and distance between
neighboring properties. Unfortunately, the garage was not constructed prior to our
acquisition and we have been met with many difficulties and concerns in our desire to do
so.
In conclusion, it has been an unanticipated and undue hardship to be without a garage and
devise a way to construct one on this property. We have met with all of our neighbors
and shown them our plan, they have been very positive and feel the outcome would be an
"enhancement to our neighborhood", as one commented. Over all the years we have
lived here, we have looked at every possible option regarding the placement of a garage
on this property and believe the submitted plan to be the best given the unique
circumstances of this property. We sincerely pray for the relief of the Board of Zoning
in granting us the necessary varience( s) to accomplish our goal of constructing the
proposed garage and affording us the reasonable use of the property.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Subject:
1401 Quebec Ave. N. (03-05-20)
Kurt and Berna Deene Jaspers, Applicant
Kurt and Berna Deene Jaspers own the house at 1401 Quebec Ave. N. (northwest corner of
Quebec Ave. N. and Knoll St.). They are requesting several variances from Section 11.21 of the
City Code in order to allow for the construction of an addition to the rear of their house. When the
applicant approached the Inspections Department regarding the addition, it was known right off
that a variance would be required due to the existing width of the lot and the size of the existing
house on the lot. As part of the variance process, a survey was produced indicating the extent of
the variances necessary in order for the construction to go forward. In this case, both the existing
house and garage do not meet setback requirements. The house was built in 1950 and there is
no record of when the garage was built. Staff assumes that both buildings met setback
requirements at the time they were built. This is only a 60 ft. wide lot and is a corner lot that
requires a 35 ft. setback from both Quebec Ave. and Knoll St.
Staff has noted that there is a wood fence close to Knoll St. However, the fence appears to be
located on the applicant's property because the curb for Knoll Street is only 4 ft. from the right-of-
way line and the applicant's property. The fence appears to be at least 4 ft. from the curb. Also, it
does not cause any sight distance problems for those driving on the streets.
The proposed addition requires variances from the following sections of City Code:
. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that all structures be
set back at least 35 ft. from a front property line or street right-of-way. The variance
request is for 15 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 20 ft. at its closest point to the
south (front) property line for the existing house along Knoll St.
. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that all structures be
set back at least 35 ft. from a front property line or street right-af-way. The variance
request is for 15 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 20 ft. at its closest point to the
south (front) property line for the existing garage along Knoll St.
.
.
.
. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that all structures be
set back at least 35 ft. from a front property line or street right-of-way. The variance
request is for 13 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 22 ft. at its closest point to the
south (front) property line for the proposed house addition along Knoll St.
A review of address file indicates that the house was built in 1950 and there is no record of when
the garage was built. The existing fence along Knoll St. appears to be located on the applicant's
property and may stay because it does not adversely affect traffic sight distance.

From:
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject:
6250 Wayzata Blvd. (03-06-21)
Junior League of Minneapolis
The Junior League of Minneapolis owns the small office building at 6250 Wayzata Blvd. The
building is east of the Super 8 Motel. The League is requesting variances from two sections of the
Industrial zoning code (Section 11.36) that will allow the League to expand the parking lot to the
rear of their building. The League approached City staff several months ago about expanding the
parking lot at the rear of their building. At the present time there are less than 10 spaces behind
the building. They would like to add to the parking lot so there would be a total of 22 spaces on
the lot. These additional spaces are needed at times when there are meetings held at the League
building. When the League purchased the building in 2002, they were aware that the building and
parking lot was nonconforming. The existing building does not meet front and side yard setback
requirements and there is inadequate landscaped area along the east and west property line.
In order for the League to expand the parking lot, the existing building has to be made legally
nonconforming along with the existing driveway along the east side of the building that will serve
the expanded parking lot. The proposed parking lof expansion is proposed to be built within 2ft.
of the east property line and 6 ft. of the west property line. The existing parking lot along the west
property line will be reduced in size to have a 6 ft. setback. The driveway along the north property
line will be reduced in length and some blacktop removed. The setback along the east property
line will have a 2 ft. parking lot setback. The driveway from Wayzata Blvd. is partially on a
driveway easement granted to the League property owner by the property owner to the east.
This easement will continue and is necessary to provide adequate access to the parking area.
The 22 parking spaces will now meet the City's parking requirement of one space for each 250
sq. ft. of office space in the building.
The City Engineer has been working with the League in order to provide an acceptable way to
drain the property. It appears that a solution has been made that will pipe the drainage to the
existing storm sewer in Colorado Ave. to the east.
The following variances have been requested in order to allow the parking lot expansion to go
forward:
.
.
.
· Section 11.36, Subd. 6(A) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that the front yard
setback shall be 35 ft. The variance request is for 19.9 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a
distance of 15.1 ft. at its closest point to the front (south) property line for the existing
building along Wayzata Blvd.
· Section 11.36, Subd. 6(C)(3) & (4) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that the side
yard setback shall be 20 ft. The variance request is for .8 ft. off the required 20ft. to a
distance of 19.2 ft. at its closest point to the west side property line for the existing building.
· Section 11.36, Subd. 6(C)(3) & (4) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that side
yard setback shall be 20 ft. for buildings The variance request is for 10ft. off the required
20 ft. to a distance of 10ft. at its closest point to the east side property line for the existing
building.
· Section 11.36, Subd. 6(C)(3) & (4) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that the side
yard setback shall be 20 ft. for buildings and that % that setback area shall be landscaped.
The variance request is for 10ft. off the required 10ft. of landscape area to a distance of 0
ft. for the existing driveway along the east property line.
· Section. 11.36, Subd. 6(C)(3) & (4) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that the side
yard setback shall be 20 ft. for buildings and that % of the setback area shall be
landscaped. The variance request is for 8 ft. off the required 10ft. to a distance of 2 ft. at
its closest point to the east property line for the proposed new parking lot.
· Section 11.36, Subd. 6(C)(3) & (4) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that the side
yard setback shall be 20 ft. for buildings and that % of the setback area shall be
landscaped. The variance request is for 4 ft. off the required 10ft. to a distance of 6 ft. at
its closest point to the west property line for the existing and expanded parking lot.
A review of the address file indicates that the building was constructed in 1966. There was a
variance granted at that time to allow the building to be constructed to within 20 ft. of the side
property lines. The variance was from a previous zoning code. At the time the building was
constructed, the building met the City's parking standard.

RE: Petition for Ordinance Waiver - City of Golden Valley
No.9.. STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR WAIVER
MDA #JLM0201
The Junior League of Minneapolis (JLM) purchased an existing office building at the above
address last summer. The building, originally constructed in circa 1966, was erected before the
current zoning regulations were adopted. The building is approximately 5,000 square feet. For
an office use, a minimum of twenty on-site parking spaces is required per the current zoning
code. Presently, there about eight parking spaces.
The property area is currently 70.06 feet wide by 250.82 feet deep. The site width along with
the building location limits parking area options and/or expansion potential. Moreover, to
provide a parking area with (22) 20'x9' stalls and a 24' drive aisle width, a waiver of the ten-foot
setback is requested for the west property line. The parking area is also shown adjacent to the
east property line but the ten-foot private easement will provide a buffer along this edge.
Due to the proposed site improvements, the City of Golden Valley's Planning Department has
recommen.ded that the JLM request a zoning variance not only for the parking area but also for
the existing building and driveway locations. The building and driveway are non-conforming to
the current zoning regulations as follows:
1. Due to 1-394 frontage road upgrades, the existing front yard. set-back is 15 +/- feet
2. The existing driveway is on the east property line and within three feet of the
building. The private ten-foot easement to the east will maintain a ten-foot buffer
with the adjacent property.
3. The existing building is also 19.2 feet from the west property line.
The owner requests that these existing conditions be granted a non-conforming status along
with the proposed parking area expansion.

Dorothy and Thomas Grant, Applicants
Dorothy and Thomas Grant own the house at 3210 Orchard Ave. N. They are requesting
variances from the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21) in order to allow an addition to their
existing garage. When the applicants came to the Inspections Department to inquire about their
proposed addition, it was obvious that the addition would require a variance. A survey was
prepared and submitted as part of the variance application and it verified the need for the
variances.
.
The applicants have submitted a survey and plans for the construction of the addition. The
garage addition will be 14 ft. by 24 ft., the same length as the existing one car garage. The total
width of the garage after the addition is made will 29.66 ft. The new addition will have one 9 ft.
wide door and there will be one 9 ft. door on the existing garage portion. Because of the way the
house was placed on the .Iot, the garage addition will be only 3 ft. from the property line at the
northeast corner and 8 ft. at the northwest corner.
The following variances are requested in order to allow the proposed garage addition:
. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that the front yard
set back shall be 35 ft. front the front property line or street right-of-way. The variance
requested is for 1.2 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 33.9 ft. at its closest point to
the front yard property line for the existing house along Orchard Ave N.
. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard
setback shall be 15% of the lot width. In this case, staff has determined that the side yard
setback shall be 14.1 ft. The requested variance is 11.1. ft. off the required 14.1 ft. to a
distance of 3 ft. at its closest point to the north side property line for the garage addition.
The City's file on this property reveals that the house was built in 1958. With the exception of the
rear deck, there have been no expansions to the footprint since the house was built. No other
. pertinent information was found in the file.

Attachment 1 to Petition for Ordinance Waiver
We are requesting a waiver from the City of Golden Valley Board of
Zoning Appeals to be able to build an additional garage besides our
existing one-car tuck under garage. We need the extra garage space
because we are currently a two-car and soon to be three-car family
that will need the extra room to accommodate the third vehicle, since
there is no permanent parking allowed on our street. In addition, the
size of our current structure is obsolete and very restrictive in being
able to accommodate current car makes and styles. It is too low and
too tight to use in parking one of our vehicles (SUV). Furthermore,
most of the surrounding homes already have two-car garages, which,
by allowing us to build a second garage, it will raise our home up to a
. level compatible with the other homes in the neighborhood.

Subject:
7725 Country Club Dr. (03-05-23)
Bradley W. Doolittle, Applicant
Bradley Doolittle owns the house at 7725 Country Club Dr., across from the Golden Valley
Country Club and east of Schuller's. The applicant is requesting a variance from the Residential
zoning code (Section 11.21). When the applicant approached the Inspections Department about
the construction of the deck with screen porch, a current survey was not available and it was
obvious that a variance would be needed in order for the deck to be built. As part of the variance
application procedure, a survey was submitted and it indicates that the proposed deck would not
meet the side yard setback requirement. The survey indicates the location of the proposed deck
and existing house on the lot. A shed is indicated in the rear yard that is setback the required 5 ft.
from the side property line. As indicated on the information provided by the applicant, there is a
drop-off from the front of the lot to the rear. The proposed deck will not change the grade from
front to rear.
The proposed deck requires a variance from the following section of City Code:
· Section 11.21, Subd.7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code states that the setback from a
side property line shall be 15 ft. when the lot is over 100 ft. wide. The variance requested
is for 7.3 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 7.7 ft. at its closes point to the west side
property line for a deck and screen porch addition.
City records indicate that the house was built in 1958 and that no additions have been made to
the house. No other pertinent information was found in the file,

Subject:
2460 Vale Crest Rd. (03-05-24)
Devon Doughtery, Applicant
Devon Doughtery owns the house at 2460 Vale Crest Rd. north of Westbrook Rd. He is
requesting variances from two requirements of the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21) in
order that a garage addition and bath addition may be built on to the front of the house. The
applicant came to the Inspections Department to discuss the proposed additions. It was noted
that a current survey was not in the City's file so a survey would have to be drawn to indicate the
location of the existing buildings on the property and to be able to indicate the proposed location
of the additions in relation to the lot lines. A survey was produced indicating that the existing
house does not meet current setback requirements on south side and along the street. Also, the
proposed additions would require front setback variances.
The existing house was built in 1957 and an 18 ft. by 18 ft. addition was built on to the rear of the
garage in 1982. A variance for the addition built in 1982 should have been required to bring the
existing house into a legal nonconforming status. This process was not done at that time.
The following variances are requested in order to allow the two additions to the front of the house:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that lots that are 100
ft. of width or greater have a side yard setback of 15 ft. The variance request if for 3 ft. off
the required 15 ft. to a distance of 12 ft. at its closest point to the south side property line
for the existing garage.
· Section 11.21 ,Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that lots that are 100
ft. of width or greater have a side yard setback of 15 ft. The variance request is for 4 ft. off

David Swanson, Applicant
David Swanson is the owner of the property at 5000 St. Croix Ave. N. This property is located on
St. Croix Ave east of Golden Valley Rd. The applicant approached the Inspection Department
about replacing the deteriorating deck in the exact same location on to the side of the house.
Because there is a survey in the file, it was noted that a side setback variance would be needed
to go forward with replacement of the deck. The City file also indicates that a variance was
granted in 1980 to a previous owner to construct the 7 ft. by 10ft. kitchen addition on the east
side of the house. The deck was built some time around 1980 by a previous homeowner without
a building permit. A building permit would not have been issued for the deck without a variance
because the deck is within the required side setback. The present homeowners would like to
rebuild the deck in the exact same location and bring it up to code. In order for this to happen, the
following side yard setback is required:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that th~ side yard
setback shaUbe15ft. for lots over 100 ft. in width. The variance request is for 6 ft. off the
required 15 ft. to a distance of 9 ft. at its closest point to the east side property line for the
deck replacement.
The City's address file on this location indicates that the house was built in 1960 and the kitchen
addition was built in 1980. The kitchen addition required a variance and the order and minutes
from that meeting are enclosed. As stated above, the deck was built shortly after the kitchen
addition without a building permit or variance.

is to the closest point of encroachment.
Mr. Roman described the present small kitchen and the purpose of the addition is
to provide an eating area.

4645 Bassett Creek Lane (03-06-26)
Joan Kneeskern, Applicant
Joan Kneeskern owns the house at 4645 Bassett Creek Lane. It is located at the southeast
intersection of Noble Ave. and Bassett Creek Lane. She is requesting variances from two
requirements of the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicant came to the
Inspections Department proposing to construct additions to the garage, breezeway and deck.
These proposed additions are located to the rear of the house. Because no current survey was
available, a survey was required to determine the exact location of the existing structures on the
lot. The survey that was prepared for Joan Kneeskern indicated that the existing house and roof
overhang do not meet current zoning code requirements. Since the proposed additions do meet
the required setback requirements, city staff has allowed the applicant to sign off on a "Hold
Harmless" agreement form in order to receive a building permit for the construction prior to the
issuance of the variances to make the house legally nonconforming. The City staff agreed to the
"Hold Harmless" agreement only after the applicant submitted the required survey and application
materials. The signed "Hold Harmless" agreement is attached.
The following are the requested variances:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that the front yard
setback shall be 35 ft. The variance request is for 6.3 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of
28.7 ft. at its closest point to the front property line along Bassett Creek Lane for the existing
home.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 9 Cornices and Eaves. City Code requires that eaves on houses
project no more than 30 inches into a required setback area. The variance request is for an
additional 6 inches of projection to a total projection of 36 inches into the front setback area.
A review of the City address file for this property indicates that the house was built in 1965 and
that it was supposed to have met the 35 ft. setback requirement along Bassett Creek Lane. No
additions have been made to the house since it was built. No other variances have been granted
or applied for at this location.

We are remodeling our residence at 4645 Bassett Creek Lane that was built
in 1965. According to the aforementioned Ordinance No. 642, dated
11/16/84, our existing front setback is not in compliance with the 1984
ordinance. The existing house is 33.8 feet from the front and the garage is
28.7 feet from the front. The ordinance from 1984 requires that the front
setback be 35 feet.
Our remodeling project will not expand beyond its current front setback and
there are no issues for the side setbacko-v..d -I't:f>-,f se:t::b~ . ~
We are requesting a legally nonconforming variance since the buildings on our
lot were built in 1965 prior to the new ordinance with defined setbacks as of
November 16, 1984 and with the understanding that the new remodeling will
not exceed our current front setback.

5110 Minnaqua Drive (03-06-27)
William Love, Applicant
William Love owns the house at 5110 Minnaqua Drive. (The property is located on a dead-end
portion of Minnaqua west of Regent Ave.) He is requesting a variance from one requirement of
the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicant came to the Inspections Department
proposing to build the proposed deck and porch on the rear of the house. It was determined that
the existing house does not meet current front yard setback requirements of 35 ft. and that a
variance would be needed in order to go forward with the construction. The survey submitted with
the variance application indicates that the existing house is only 17 ft. from Minnaqua Dr. The
proposed deck and porch meet all setback requirements. City staff has allowed the applicant to
sign off on a "Hold Harmless" agreement form in order to receive a building permit for the
construction prior to the issuance of the variance to make the house legally nonconforming. The
City staff agreed to the "Hold Harmless" agreement only after the applicant submitted the required
survey and application materials. The signed "Hold Harmless" agreement is attached.
The requested variance is asfoll()ws:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that the front yard
setback shall be 35 ft. The variance request is for 17.91 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a
distance of 17.09 ft. for the existing house along Minnaqua Dr.
A review of the City address file for the property indicates that the house was built in 1956. No
additions to the house have been made since its construction. The survey does indicate that the
fence is not on their property.

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

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 8ZA 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

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.

Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
From:
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject:
1817 HiIIsboro Ave. N. (03-06-28)
Ward Blumer, Applicant
Ward Blumer owns the house at 1817 Hillsboro Ave. N. This property is in the northwest corner
of the city near the Hennepin County Sheriff's communication building. He is requesting a
variance from the Residential section of the zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicant came to
the Inspections Department proposing to construct a garage on to the rear of his house. Because
there was no current survey on file, a survey was required to determine the exact location of the
existing structures on the property. The survey prepared for Mr. Blumer indicates that the
existing porch on the front of the house does not meet current setback requirements. Since the
proposed garage addition does meet the required setback requirements, city staff has allowed the
applicant to sign off on a "Hold Harmless" agreement only after the applicant submitted the
required survey and application materials. The signed "Hold Harmless" agreement is attached.
The requested variance is as follows:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that the front yard
setback shall be 35 ft. The variance request is for 11 ft. of the required 35 ft. to a distance
of 24 ft. at its closest point to the front property line along Hillsboro Ave. N.
The street file on this property is missing. The house was probably built in the late 1950's.

Signatures of Surrounding Property Owners
ote 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 commen~. I
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
eiving 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.
