II.
The Petitions are:
6610 Glenwood Avenue (03-
Scott and Erika Charles
Request:
e u 15 ft. to a distance of 7.6 ft. at its closest
ast side property line for the proposed construction of
mudroom addition.
~ the construction of a proposed new garage and
m addition.
In edthe Board that this request was tabled from last month's
he applicant to explain his new proposal.
iler stated it was his hope to add a more usable attached garage. The
garage t ve now is against the house, but there is no access into the house. He
said the new addition would give access into the house and move traffic coming into the
house away from what is now a dangerous entrance at the top of the stairs. He
explained that they would be moving the existing stairs into the addition. He said that
the Board's concern last month was that his proposal would leave the garage too
narrow at 18 feet wide so in this new proposal the mudroom addition is 4 feet wide,
instead of the original 8 feet, which would leave the garage entrance 22 feet wide.
.
McCracken-Hunt asked the applicant if he had a new site plan or new drawings.
Charlesworth-Seiler showed the Board a new drawing.

Shaffer stated that at the last meeting one of the. concerns was the garage being 18
feet wide and the other concern was whether the applicant had looked at other options
to keep within the current variance footprint. He asked the applicant what other options
he looked at.
Charlesworth-Seiler said they looked at other options that would require them to put a
children's bedroom in the basement which in turn would require them to build egress
windows or a walk-out in the back. In addition to poor drainage and the need to re-Iay a
slab for the driveway, they are going to have to do the garage addition. ay if the
variance is granted or not. He said that allowing them to add on to th che ould

terrain issues.

401 Sunnyridge Lane (03-07 -34)
Lynne Gaardsmoe, Applicant
Lynne Gaardsmoe is the owner of the house and property at 401 Sunnyridge Lane. She is
requesting a variance to allow for the expansion of the existing garage on the property.
This item was on the August BZA agenda. The BZA continued consideration of this matter in
order to give Ms. Gaardsmoe time to consider alternative designs for the garage addition.
There was concern about the original design because it would be difficult for cars to enter the
expanded two-stall garage from the north due to the width of the lot (only 40 ft.). At least one
BZA member felt that it would be better to have the doors facing the alley.
Ms. Gaardsmoe has hired an architect and they have now submitted a new plan. The revised
plan indicates that the second stall would be angled in order to allow for easier access into
the second garage stall. This would lessen the side yard setback variance for the second
stall because it would angle away from the south property line to a point 6.2 ft. from the side
property line at the southeast corner of the garage. The owner believes that this would permit
adequate access to both stalls. The owner has lived there for 20 years and plans to have
smaller cars that would more easily access the garage stalls.
The plan for access into the garage is fora car to pull forward into the east stall. In order to
get out of the stall, the car would back out into the alley. A car would enter the west by pulling
up to the east parallel to the north property line and then backing into the stall. The car could
then pull forward out of the stall and into the alley.
Since the existing garage already received a variance for its location too close to the alley
and south side property line, the proposed garage addition requires a variance only for the
side propertyline where it will continue the same side setback as the existing garage. With
the revised plan, the setback variance for the expansion will actually be less because the
south wall of the garage expansion will angle away from the property line.
.
.
.
The following variance is requested in order to permit the garage expansion:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 12 Accessory Buildings. City Code requires that
accessory buildings 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 there is no information about when the house was
originally constructed. (At the August BZA meeting, the designer for Ms. Gaardsmoe said the
house was built in 1923.)

Subject:
7110 Plymouth Ave. (03-09-45)
Matthew Pavek, Applicant
Matthew Pavek owns the house and property at 7110 Plymouth Ave. It is located at the
northwest corner of Plymouth Ave. and Louisiana Ave. The applicant is requesting variances
from three requirements of the Residential Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order to allow for
the construction of a garage addition. Because there was an as-built survey of the house in the
City's address file, it was immediately known that the proposed garage addition would require
variances. The survey indicates that the existing house meets the 35 ft. setback requirement
along both Plymouth Ave. and Louisiana Ave. However, the corner of the existing garage does
not meet the 35 ft. setback froll1 the radius of the intersection of Louisiana Ave. and Plymouth
Ave. The proposed garage addition would be less than 35 ft. from both streets and the radius
of the intersection of both streets.
The total square footage of permitted accessory buildings is 1000 sq. ft. If the Pavek garage
addition were constructed, the total accessory building space would be about 890 sq. ft.
The proposed garage 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 11 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 24 ft. at is closest point to the
front property line along Louisiana Ave. N. for the proposed garage addition.
· 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 2.1 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 32.9 ft.. at its closest point to the
front property line along Plymouth Ave. N. for the proposed garage addition.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. CityCoderequires 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 17 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 18 ft. at its closest point to the
radius at the intersection of Louisiana Ave. N. and Plymouth Ave. N.
A review of the City file indicates that the house with one stall attached garage was
constructed in 1958. The garage was expanded to the north in 1981. The deck on the north
end of the house was finished in 2003.

Donald and Julie Harris, Applicant
Donald and Julie Harris own the house and property at 1865 Hampshire Lane. It is located at
the southeast corner of Hampshire Lane and Louisiana Ave. The applicant is requesting
variances from two requirements of the Residential Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order to
allow the construction of an addition to their house. Because there was a copy of an as-built
survey of the property in the City's address file, it was immediately known that variances would
be needed in order to allow construction of the addition. The survey indicates that the existing
house does not meet the side setback requirement on the east side and the front setback
requirement on the Louisiana Ave. side. The applicant has indicated that the deck that was
built on the southeast corner ofthe house will be removed as part of the addition. This deck
was constructed without a building permit or variance. The applicant's plan is to remove the
deck and then add to the existing house. All additions to the house would meet current setback
requirements. Two variances would be requested to make the existing house that was built in
1955 legally non-conforming. Staff has determined that these variance requests qualify for
"Hold Harmless" status. A "Hold Harmless" letter has been signed by the owner which allows
construction to go forward prior to issuance of the variances.
The project requires variances from the following sections of City Code:
· 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 14.9 ft. off the required 35ft. to a
distance 20.1 ft. at its closest point to the front property line along Louisiana Ave. for the
existing house.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setbacks. City Code requires that the side yard
setback shall be 15 ft. The variance request is for3.7 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a
distance of 11.3 ft. at its closest point to the side property line for the existing house.
(The existing deck will be removed.)
A review of the City's address file indicates that the house was built in 1955. No additions to
the house have been made since. thattime with the exception of the deck that was built without
a building permit or variance.

Ms Wittman,
My wife and 1 are in the development stages of a home remodeling project. We are
working with a design firm called Integrity Design.W e are planning to remodel a
portion of the housethatcurrent.sits over the City's setback requirements. We are going
through the process of applying fora variance so we can move forward with the project.
The architect we are working with has been in contact with you regarding this project
already. It is my understanding that all Qf the documents we are required to. submit for
the variance application have already been received by YQ~ with the exceptiQn of the
enclo.sed signature page.
The community we live in has a fairly high number Qf retired residents and it has been
sQmewhat of a challenge to. get them to review the project and sign the signature page.
Some Qf Qur neighbors have already left the state for their annual winter hiatus in warmer
climates. :AftertryingQn a number Qfoccasions we have o.btained signatures from most
of Qur neighbors.
. If YQU need anyadditiQnal documents or have any questiQns please feel free to contact me

301 Turnpike Rd. (03-0946)
Jeffrey Laux, Applicant
Jeffrey Laux has a purchase agreement to buy the house and property at 301 Turnpike
Road. This. property is located in the neighborhood south of Glenwood Ave. and east of
Turners Crossroad. The applicant has the permission of the owner of the house to apply for
the requested variances. The request is for two variances from Section 11.21 of the Zoning
Code that would allow for the construction of a tuck-under garage with living space above.
The applicant became aware that variances would be needed in order to construct the
addition after speaking with one of the building inspectors. As part of the variance procedure,
the applicant had a survey prepared that indicates the location of buildings on the property. In
this case, the existing house and accessory buildings meet current code requirements. It is
the proposed garage addition with living space above that will not meet front and side yard
setback requirements. The applicant has prepared a letter explaining the request and
hardship situation.
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 11 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 24 ft. at its
closest point to the front property line along Turnpike Rd. for the proposed garage
addition.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that all structures
be set back at least 15% of the lot width from aside property line. In this case, the
side setback requirement is 12 ft. The variance request is for 6.5 ft. off the required 12
ft. to a distance of 5.5 ft. at its closest point to the north side yard property line for the
new garage addition.
A review of the City's address file on this property indicates that the house was built in 1946
with an addition in 1952. The pool was built in 1956. No other variances have been granted
or applied for at this location.

RE: Zoning Code Variance Application
301 Turnpike Road - Golden Valley
Dear Lisa and Members of the Board of Zoning Appeals,
We have just purchased the property at 301 Turnpike Road and we are planning an
improvement project that we believe is needed to make the home function for us.
The home is situated on an irregular lot which makes expanding the footprinta bit ofa
challenge. There are two significant problems with the existing structure. First, the
garage is only a single stall at 12 feet wide. Second, the existing kitchen is very small
with no room for sit down eating and there is no dining room whatsoever. In addition
there is a cosmetic issue in that the home is built of plain concrete blocks that have been
painted white and finish siding was never applied to the home.
We propose to rectify these conditions by adding a 22 foot wide by 24 foot deep tuck-
under garage on the front-left or north-west corner of the existing home. The bedroom
space above the garage will free up enough space in the existing home to allow for a
kitchen with eating space and a small semi-formal dining room. This new garage addition
will have a four sided hip roof to match the existing home.
We have spoken to and reviewed our sketches with our neighbors who without exception
are excited about the improvements.

Jeffrey Wm. Laux - 301 Turnpike Road
.
In order to proceed with this work we will need to reduce our front setback byll feet,
from the required 35 feet, to a proposed distance of 24 feet from the west or front yard lot
line. We will also need to reduce our north side-yard setback by 6.5 feet, from the
required 12 feet, to a proposed distance of 5.5 feet from the north lot line.
It is important to point out that there are other setback variances in the area and one in
pmiicular at 117 Turnpike Road which is a very similar condition and is only a few
homes to the north of our home.In June of 1991 the owners of 117 Turnpike were
granted a front setback reduction of 13.9 feet, from the required 35 feet, to an approved
distance of 21.1 feet from the west or front yard lot line. They were also granted a north
side-yard setback reduction of6 feet, from the required 12 feet, to an approved distance
of 6 feet from the north lot line. This variance was granted for a similar double garage
addition to their home which they located in front and to the north side of their home.
We determined at the time of purchase that we needed to add the garage in order for
home to function for our family. We worked very hard to try to add the garage without
the requested variance but because of the way the home is situated on the lot, because of
the pool located in the rear yard and because of the irregular shape of the rear of the
we found this to be the only workable solution.
.
Thank you very much for taking up our request. We will be at the meeting on September
23, 2003 to answer any questions that may arise and in the meantime I can be reached at
my office at 612-339-9334 should you want any additional information.

Note. to the variance applicant:
As 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
cross 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 ownersofthe
time and place of the BZA meeting.
Note to surrounding property owners:
This isan 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.
Comments can contain language of agreeing with the project, objecting to the'project or other
statements regarding the project.
