Johnson explained that the applicantis proposing to construct an attached
garage which would require the two variances listed above.
McCracken-Hunt asked if staff had talked to the applicant about putting the
proposed garage in other locations on the site. Johnson stated th had talk
to the applicant about moving the proposed garage to the rear or
making it smaller.

it was correct that the applicants had already worked with the City
e size of the garage. Mr. Leer stated that was correct.
.
McCracken-Hunt asked the applicant's if they understood the concerns the City
has with the front yard setback and that all of the houses along Gettysburg are
setback at relatively the same distance and that this would protrude out into that
front yard area. Mr. Leer said he understood that and referred to the photos he
submitted and said that it wouldn't be an eyesore or stick way out.
Shaffer stated that conceivably putting the garage in the back yard could be
done. Mr. Leer stated that he has thought about putting the garage in back and

that they have had engineers and contractors look at putting a garage in the
back but there wouldn't be enough room to turn around and they would still have
to deal with the slope to the street and that part of the problem is that the lot isn't
a rectangle.
Shaffer stated that the City tries to maintain the front yard setback and that and
that in this particular neighborhood every house is right along the 35-foot
setback. He said that he can't allow the garage to go into the front yard this far.
Mr. Leer stated that there is only one neighbor on the block that h arage.

Mr. Leer ed that in order to move the proposed garage addition to any other
location it would hurt the character of the home. He said that he has worked on
this house for 18 years and that he doesn't want to finish it if it will hurt the
character of the home. He added that if he thought if it were going to be an
eyesore in anyway he wouldn't do it.
McCracken-Hunt said that she doesn't have a problem with the side yard
setback to the south even though it is closer than she likes to see but, in order to
get a garage it would be ok, but she does have a problem with the front yard

setback and she wishes the proposed the garage could be shifted back further,
to be more in line with the house, maybe slightly protruding into the front yard
setback but not the 20 feet being proposed. She said she understands the
applicants concerns about the windows being covered up, but many times
garages being added to sides of houses result in covering upone side of
windows. She said that she also felt when she looked at the property that she
would like to see some other options and that she is uncomfortable with the
precedent of allowing a garage to project out into the front yard to such an
extent.

Subject:
6005 Duluth Lane (03-07-29)
Wally and Sue Langfellow, Applicants
Wally and Sue Langfellowown the house at 6005 Duluth Lane (southwest corner of Duluth Lane
and Adair Ave.). They are requesting a variance from one requirement of the Residential Zoning
Code (Section 11.21). The applicant came to the Inspections Department proposing to construct
a deck and three-season porch on the west side of their house. Because no current survey was
available, a survey was required to determine the exact location of existing structures and
proposed structures on the lot. The survey was done and itwas determined that the existing deck
on the west side of the house (for which no building permit or variance was issued) was non-
conforming and that the proposed three-season porch and deck were also non-conforming. The.
project requires a variance from the following section of City code:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code states that the side yard
setback shall be 15% of lot width. I n this case of this property, the proposed side yard
setback after the three-season porch and deck are added would be 7 ft. The variance
requested is for 8 ft. oft the required 15 ft. at its closest point to the west side property line
for the deck and screen porch addition.
The proposed deck and three-season porch is proposed to be located where there is now an
existing deck that is 14 ft. by 24 ft. This deck will be removed and the new construction would be
placed in about the same location. The new construction area is somewhat smaller, only 14 ft. by
18 ft. As stated above, the existing deck did not receive either a building permit or variance for
construction. The applicant has submitted plans and a statement regarding the proposed
addition.
The City's file on this property reveals that the house was built in 1962. The only addition to the
house was the existing deck that was built without a building permit or variance.

From:
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject:
6610 Glenwood Ave. (03-07-30)
Erika and Scott Charlesworth-Seiler, Applicant
Erika and Scott Charlesworth-Seiler own the house at 6610 Glenwood Ave. The house is on the
north side of Glenwood Ave. near the intersection with Hampshire Ave. N. They are requesting a
variance from Section 11.21 of the Zoning Code in order to allow their existing garage to be
expanded to the east"and north.
In 1978, this property was granted a variance to allow the expansion of the garage to 22 ft. wide
and 20 ft. deep. The variance permitted the attached garage to come within 11.6 ft. of the side
property line rather than the required 15 ft. The plan now is to expand the garage width to 26 ft.
and the depth to 30 ft. The expansion would bring the garage to within 7.6 ft. of the side property
line instead of the required 15 ft. The applicant states that the expansion will also incorporate a
mudroom adjacent to the existing kitchen.
The project requires a variance from the following section of the City Code:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code states that the side yard
setback for attached garages shall be 15% of the lot width. In this case, the side yard
setback has been determined to be 15 ft. The variance requested is for 7.4 ft. off the
required 15 ft. to a distance of 7.6 ft. at its closest point to the east side property line for the
construction of a garage and mudroom addition.
In viewing the site, there does not appear to be enough space between the existing garage and
the fence (east property line) to allow for a 7.6 ft. setback after the new construction is completed.
This could be because the fence is not on the property line. It is the responsibility of the applicant
to show the Inspections Department the property line in order to determine that the building can
be built as specified by the variance.
The City's file on this property reveals that the house was built in 1948. The garage was
expanded with a variance in 1978. A three-season porch was added to the west side of the
house in 1985 as shown on the survey.

We are requesting this variance in order to be able to add a mud room to our
kitchen space. Presently we don't have any space in our living area to utilize as
as a mud room/entry way. The exterior door enters directly onto the landing of
the stairs to the basement, creating a sometimes hazardous situation.
Increasing the width of the garage and bringing the garage forward will allow us
to incorporate a mud room in the garage space. It also allows us to have direct
access to the house from the garage. Our only other alternative for creating a
mud room space is to add onto the house which is not an affordable option for
us.

Subject:
30 Jersey Ave. S. (03-07-31)
James Bunin and Marcia Kohn-Bunin
James Bunin and Marcia Kohn-Bunin own the house located at 30 Jersey Ave. S.(southwest
corner of Jersey Ave. S. and Western Ave.). They are requesting five variances from Section
11.21 of the Zoning Code in order to allow the construction of a new deck to be attached to the
existing deck on the rear of their house. When the applicant's contractor came to the Inspections
Department to inquire about a building permit, it wasdetermined that variances would be required
for the project to go forward. A survey was provided by the contractor that indicated the existing
deck did not meet rear yard setback requirements. The new deck addition is proposed to have
the same rear yard setback as the existing deck. Also, the survey indicated that the existing
house and deck do not meet the side yard setback requirement of 15 ft. along the south side of
the house and the front setback requirement of 35 ft. along Western and Jersey Aves.
The project requires the following variances from the City Code:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(B) Rear Yard Setback. 6 ft. off the required 27 ft. to a distance of
21 ft. at its closest point to the rear yard property line for the existing deck.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(B) Rear Yard Setback. 6 ft. off the required 27 ft. to a di~tance of
21 ft. at its closest point to the rear yard property line for the existing deck.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(0) Side Yard Setback. 0.4 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance
of 14.6 ft. at its closest point to the south side property line for the existing house and deck.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. 0.2 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance
of 34.8 ft. at its closest point to the north property line for the existing house along Western
Ave.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. 0.2 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance
of 34.8 ft. at its closest point to the east property line for the existing house along Jersey

The existing house was constructed in 1975. An addition to the house was done in 1980. This
addition was made to the southwest corner of the house (12 .5 ft. by 21 ft.). A building permit
was taken out for this addition and the survey indicated it would be built 15 ft. from the south
property line. In 1991, the deck off the west end of the 1980 addition was built. The City did not
require a variance for the deck at that time because the applicant submitted a plan indicating the
deck was to be built on to the west end of the house prior to the construction of the addition in
1980. With that configuration, the deck met the rear yard setback requirement. For some
reason, the Inspection Department did not see that the deck was built on to the 1980 addition and
that it was into the rear yard setback area. Because the need for a variance was missed in 1991,
a new survey was submitted indicating the current location of the building on the lot. Thesurvey
also indicates that the existing house has three slight setback infractions that must be resolved
prior to construction. If the BZA does not issue the variance for the new deck, it could choose to
issue on the variances for the existing building.

Subject:
6585 N. Cortlawn Circle (03-07-32)
Marc Nanne, Applicant
Marc Nanne owns the house at 6585 N. Cortlawn Circle east of the Church of the Good Shepard.
He is requesting a variance from Section 11.21 of the City Code in order to allow for the
construction of a covered porch on to the front of the house. This porch addition is proposed as
part of other improvements to the house that do not require variances. A survey of the property at
6585 N. Corti awn Circle was in the City files. This survey indicated that a porch added to the front
of the house would require a variance. An updated survey was provided to the City with this
variance application indicating the location of the proposed building additions and the front porch
that encroaches into the front setback.
The proposed covered porch requires the following variance from 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. Thevariance
request is for 4 ft. off the required 35ft. to a distance of 31 ft. at its closest poinfto the
front yard property line for the proposed front porch addition.
The City's file on this property reveals that the house was built in 1958. No additions to the house
other than interior improvements have been made since the house was built. There have been no
other variances granted to this property.

Signatures of Surrounding Property Owners
Note 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 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 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
.,y possible effect the granting of this variance could have on your property. You will also be
~ceiving a written notice infOnning 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.

Subject:
6510 S. Cortlawn Circle (03-07-33)
Joan Thompson and Drew Hamre, Applicants
Joan Thompson and Drew Hamre own the house at 65.10 S. Cortlawn Circle. This house is
located just west of the intersection of S. Cortlawn Circle and N. Cortlawn Circle. They are
requesting variances from Section 11.21 of the Zoning Code in order to replace the existing deck
with a new deck in the same location. When the applicant came to the Inspections Department
regarding the deck replacement, a current survey was not in the file indicating the exact location
of the buildings on the lot. A survey was then provided by the owner that indicates that the
proposed deck (that is in the same location as the existing deck) will not meet both the front and
side setback requirements. (The original deck was built in 1978 and received a building permit.
However, surveys were not required with building permits at that time and the deck was built in a
location thought to meet setback requirements.) The survey also indicates that the house does
not meet the setback requirement along S. Cortlawn Circle. The garage is less than 35 ft. from
the property line. In this case, however, a variance was granted in 1969 to allow the garage to be
built within 33.2 ft. of S. Corti awn Circle. The survey also indicates that the existing house is built
to within 34.94 ft. of N~ CorlawnCircle rather than the required 35 ft:
The proposed deck replacement requires variances from the following sections of the Zoning
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. This variance
request is for 2 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 33 ft. at its closest point to the front
yard property line along N. Corti awn Circle for the deck replacement.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that principal
structures be set back at least 15 ft. from a side property line. This variance request is for
0.1 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 14.9 ft. at its closest point to the northwest side
yard property line for deck replacement.
.
.
.
· 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. This variance
request is for 0.06 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 34.94 ft. at its closest point to N.
Corti awn Circle for the existing house.
The survey also indicates that there is a shed located within the utility easement along the west
property line. The policy of the BZA has been to require that sheds be removed from utility
easements and placed in a location that conforms to the Zoning Code. Staff recommends that a
condition of the variance approval be that the shed be moved by October 31 , 2003.
The City's file on this address indicates that the house was built in 1962 and the garage was
added in 1969. The deck was constructed in 1978.

Dear Board Members:
We plan to replace our existing deck, which is rotting. As you can see in the survey of
our lot, the existing deck is over the thirty-five foot setback line at both corners. Our
new deck, as indicated in the attached architect's drawing, would use the same footprint
as the existing deck. We are asking for a variance in order to replace the deck in its
current position.
.
The shape of our lot constitutes a hardship in terms of remodeling. We have a triangular
lot bordered on the north by North Cortlawn Circle and on the south by South Cortlawn
Circle. The house sits near the rear of the lot facing the point where the two streets meet.
On the south side the house sits on the setback line. On the north side where the deck is
located, the northeast corner of the house sits on the setback line. Furthermore, our lot is
at a higher elevation on the north side than it is on the south side. For these reasons
designing a deck that does not cross the setback line at the corners is exceedingly difficult
and thus constitutes a hardship.
As both my husband and I will be out of town on the day of the July 22 board meeting,
we have asked our contractor, Dave Styba of Styba Construction, to represent us in this
matter.
Thank you for your consideration of our request.
Sincerely,
~~~
Joan E. Thompson

401 Sunnridge Lane (03-07-34)
Lynne Gaardsmoe, Applicant
.
Lynne Gaardsmoe is the owner of the property at 401 Sunnyridge Lane. The property is located
on Sunnyridge just south of Woodstock Ave. The applicant is requesting one variance from
Section 11.21 of the Zoning Code to allow for the expansion of the existing one-car garage
located at the west end of her lot. This garage has alley access only. The applicant received
several variances in 2000 when she added a second story to the house. At that time, the existing
garage received variances to make it legally non-conforming. The house also received afront
yard setback variance to make it legally non-conforming. The second story addition received a
variance in order to allow it to be built within 6 ft. of the property line rather than the required 8 ft.
(20% of the 40 ft.lotwidth.). The second story addition variance was required because of a
cantilever into the setback area.
Since the existing garage already received a variance for its location too close to the alley (street)
and side property line, the proposed garage addition requires a variance only for tht3...~ideproperty
line where it will continue the same side setback as the existing garage. . .. ..
The following variance is requested in order to permit the garage expansion:
· Section 11.21 , Subd. 12 Accessory Buildings. City Code states that accessory building
such as detached garages must be set back at least 5 ft. from a side property line. The
variance request is for 3.9 ft. off the required 5 ft. to a distance of 1.1 ft. at its closest point
to the south side yard property line for a proposed garage addition.
A review of the City's file indicates that there is no information about when the house was originally
constructed.

1121 Angelo Drive (03-07-35)
Cheryl Scruton, Applicant
Cheryl Scruton owns the property at 1121 Angelo Drive. It is located just north of Thotland Rd.
She is requesting three variances from Section 11.21 of the Zoning Code in order to allow the
construction of an addition to the west side of her existing house. The applicant came to the City
to discuss the process to receive a building permit for the addition. A current survey of the
property was not in the City's file for this property. The applicant was asked to provide a current
survey and this was done in order to determine the location of the existing house and proposed
addition. The proposed addition is one-story and will be 16 ft. by 30 ft. It fills in the area behind
the house and north of the garage. It will be used for a bedroom and bathroom. The survey
indicates that the house does not meet current front or north side yard setback requirements.
The proposed addition would be built at the same setback along the north side yard property line.
The proposed addition requires variances from the following sections of the Zoning Code:
· Section f1.21~SlJbd. 7(A)Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that the front yard
setback shall be 35ft. from the front yard property line or street right-of-way. The variance
requested is for 5 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 30 ft. at its closest point to the
front property line along Angelo Dr. for the existing house and deck.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard
setback shall be 15 ft. The variance requested is for 6 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a
distance of 9 ft. at its closest point to the north side yard property line for the existing
house.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard
setback shall be 15 ft. The variance requested is for 6 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a
distance of 9 ft. at its closest point to the north side yard property line for the proposed
room addition.
The review of the City's file on this property indicates no original building permit for the house.
The garage was built in 1956 and the deck was rebuilt in 1994. A variance was not required for
the deck in 1994 because it kept much of the original decking and footings.

Re:Reasons for hardship as pertaining to variance for
addition at 1121 Angelo Dr.
Due to the natural topography of our backyard, which
slopes steeply towards the backside (west) foundation of
the house, we have an ongoing problem of water in the
basement, which leaves it totally nonfunctional. We have
been removing water since the snow melted
Due to house.Iocation, the addition to be completed could
only be situated on the backside of the house.
Due to the fact we have aging parents, we need to have a
bathroom on the main level, as well as a guest bedroom,
which would be accessible for their use.
Due to prior additions to the house, we have 4 different
rooflines adding to the water/drainage problem. This
addition would eliminate those problem areas and draw
the runofTaway from the foundation.

7810 Ewald Terrace (03-07-37)
Audrey Zibelman and .Jan LeSuer, Applicants
Audrey Zibelman and Jan LeSuer own the house at 7810 Ewald Terrace (southeast corner of
Winnetka Ave. S. and Ewald Terrace). They are requesting a variance from one requirement of
the Residential Zoning Code (Section 11.21) to allow for the construction of a conforming family
room addition proposed to be built on the north side of the house. The applicant came to the
Inspections Department proposing to build the addition. Since a current survey of the property
was not available, the applicant had a survey prepared indicating the location ofthehouse on the
lot. The survey indicated that the house does not meet the side yard setback requirement of15 ft.
for the east side of the house. Since the proposed addition is conforming, the City staff 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 Harml.ess" agreement
is attached.
The following is the requested variance:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)5ide Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard
setback shall be 15 ft. The variance request is for 0.4 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a
distance of 14.6 ft. at its closest point to the east property line for the existing house.
The survey indicates that the addition will be close to the existing pool. The pool is being
removed as part of the work done at the house.
The City's file on this property indicates that the house was constructed in 1963. The building
footprint has not been increased since the house was constructed. No other variances have been
granted to this address.

335 Burntside Dr..(03-07-36)
Jon Brusven, Applicant
Jon Brusven owns the house at 335 Burntside Drive near the intersection of Burntside and
Westwood Dr. just south of TH 55. He is requesting a variance from one section of the
Residential Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order that he may construct a conforming deck on the
southwest corner of his house. The applicant came to the Inspections Department to begin the
process to receive a building permit for the deck. Since there was no current survey in the City's
file for this address, the applicant had a survey done. The survey indicated that the existing house
does not meet the side setback requirement along the south property line. The proposed deck,
however, will exceed the required side and rear yard 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 existing house legally
nonconforming. The City staff agreed to the "Hold Harmless" agreement only after the applicant
submitted the required survey and application material. The signed "Hold Harmless" agreement is
attached.
The following variance is requested:
· Section 11.21 ,Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard
setback be 15 ft. The variance request is for 1.1 ft. off the required 15 ft. top a distance of
13.9 ft. at its closest point to the south side property line for the existing attached garage.
A review of the City's file on this property indicates that the house was constructed in 1954. No
othervariances have been granted to this property.

I am attempting to replace an existing deck, which was rotted and

approximately 1 foot into the set-back. The proposed deck is no closer to
any lot line than 18.7 feet according to the surveyors.

From:
Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
Subject:
3325 Kyle Ave. N. (03.07.38)
Pat and Dave Nesbitt
Pat and Dave Nesbitt own the house at 3325 Kyle Ave. N. (The property is located.in the far
northeast corner of Golden Valley south of 34th Ave. N.) The applicant is requesting variances
from two requirements of the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21) in order to allow for the
construction of an addition. The applicant came to the Inspections Department in order to begin
the building permit process. Since there was no current survey available, the applicant was
required to submit a survey showing the location of all buildings on the property. The survey
indicates that the existing house does not meet front and side setback requirements. The
proposed addition (expansion of the breezeway area between the garage and house) meets all
building setback requirements except that the breezeway addition will have the same front
setback as the house. 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" agreernehlTsattached. .
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 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 Kyle Ave. for the
existing house and portion of the addition along the front of the house.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7 (C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard
setback shall be 15 ft. The variance request is for 1.1 ft. off the required 1.5 ft. to a
distance of 13.9 ft. at its closet point to the north side property line for the existing house.
The City's file on this address indicates that the house was built in 1948. It appears that the
footprint of the building has not been increased. There have been no other variances granted to
this address.
