Minutes of the Board of Zoning Appeals September 23, 2003 Page 3 Grimes explained that there is an existing one car tandem garage located on this property. He stated that the applicant would like to create a two car garage in the front and that he would also like to add five feet to the front of the garage along Plymouth Ave; He added that this is an unusual lot because the corner is curved rather than the typical 90 degree corner.

Minutes of the Board of Zoning Appeals September 23, 2003 Page 4 Shaffer said that he is not in favor of the addition going forward toward Plymouth Avenue and that his concern is that it would be going so far into the front yard setback.

Pavek asked how the variance request would be different if he wanted to build a front porch addition. Shaffer told the applicant that the Planning Commission is proposing changes to the Zoning Code which would allow him to build the porch f .nto the front yard setback without a variance.

Planning 763-593-8095 I 763-593-8109 (fax) Date: October 23,2003 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 1038 Quebec Avenue North (03-10-49) Robin Smothers, Applicant Robin Smothers is the owner of the house and property at 1038 Quebec Ave. N. near the intersection with Phoenix Ave. N. The applicant is requesting a variance from Section 11.21 of the City Code in order to allow for the construction of an open front porch that extends into the front yard setback area. It was determined that a variance for the open porch would be needed when the applicant applied for a building permit to add the open porch and a significant addition to the house. It was known that the existing .house met or exceeded the 35 ft. front setback and the rear and side setback requirements because the property stakes were located and there wasa "proposed" survey on file. With the proposed 5 ft. wide front porch addition, it was known that a front setback variance would be required. The other improvementsto the house can be made without a variance because they will not extend into any required setback area. As part of the variance process, an updated survey was prepared for the applicant indicating the location of the buildings on the lot and allowing City staff to specifically determine the extent of the front yard setback variance needed for the open porch. The proposed open front porch addition requires a variance from the following section 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 2.5 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 32.5 ft. at its closest point to the front yard property line along Quebec Ave. N. for a proposed open front porch addition. A review of the City's address file on this property indicates that the house was built in 1959 with an addition built in 1965. No other variances have been granted or applied for at this address. .... ie City of Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals {BZA} Zoning Code Variance Application Only: on No. ceived.

The applicant is requesting several variances from Section 11.21 of City Code in order to allow for the construction of a detached garage. When the applicant approached the Inspections Department regarding the garage, it was immediately known that a variance would be required for the garage because of its proposed placement in front ofthe existing house. As part of the variance application process, the applicant had a current survey prepared showing the existing buildings on the lot. The survey also allowed the applicant to indicate the exact location of the proposed garage on the survey. In addition to the proposed garage being located in front of the house, the existing house and shed do not meet setback requirements. The survey also indicates that there is a timber deck in the rear yard that is not attached to the house and is therefore considered an accessory structure. All accessory structures must be located at least 10ft. from the house and behind the house. In this case, the deck is located only 4 ft. from the house. Therefore a variance is needed for the deck to be legally nonconforming. The proposed garage is 36 ft. by 24 ft. or 864 sq. ft. in area. City policy is that total accessory building space should not exceed 1000 sq. ft. With the 96 sq. ft. shed in the rear yard, the total accessory building space is 960 sq..ft. The applicant told staff that the existing 260 sq. ft. tuck- under garage would be converted to living space. This house was constructed in 1938, making it one of the older homes in. the area. According to City records, there have been no additions to the house since it was built. When it was constructed, the house was placed 70 ft. from Sumter Ave. N., over twice the current setback requirement. With a "normal" setback of 35 ft. similar to most of the other houses in the area, there would have been a much larger area in the rear yard for construction of a garage. The proposed detached garage requires variances from the following sections of City Code: Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard setback shall be 15 ft. when lots are 100 ft. or greater in width. The variance is for 3ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 12 ft. at its closest point to the north side yard property line for the existing house. . . . Section 11.21, Subd. 12(A) Accessory Buildings. City Code requires that all accessory buildings must be located at least 5 ft. from a rear property line. The variance is for 2 ft. off the required 5 ft. to a distance of 3ft. at its closest point to the rear (east) yard property line for the existing shed. Section 11.21, Subd. 12(A) Accessory Buildings. City Code requires that all accessory buildings be located wholly to the rear of the house with at least 10ft. of separation. The variance request would allow the 36 ft. by 24 ft. detached garage to be placed wholly in front of the existing house as indicated on the attached survey. The garage would meet front, side and rear yard setback requirements. Section 11.21, Subd. 12(A) Accessory Buildings. City Code requires that all accessory buildings or structures be located to the rear of the house with at least 10ft. of separation. The variance request is for 6 ft. off the required 10ft. to a distance of 4 ft. at the deck's closest point to the existing house. The City's file on this address indicates that the house was built in 1938. No building permits have been taken out to expand the house since that date. No variances have been applied for or issued on this property until now. CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY FOR: Adam Wendelschafer 1516 Sumpter Ave. N . Golden Valley, MN I ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ " It I ~ ~ ~ .

The only drawback to our property was and is the lack.of garage space. I am filing for a variance on four different points of hardship that J will briefly discuss. 1. Current garage size. Our garage is a small one stall tuck -under garage that encompasses 260 square feet with a garage door of 5. feet in height. We can not park within this space. 2. Current structure location. Our house sits on Lot 11 Block 3, WINNETKA, 70 feet approximately from the front property line leaving us with a relatively small back yard. To my understanding from your offices the city ordnance is that a detached garage must be totally to the rear of the house. Following this would consume our rear yard as well as not able to be within other current setbacks. 3. Lot 10, Block 3, Winnetka. When we purchased our house the lot to the south was attached to the sale, being combined by a past homeowner. Lot 10 is a relatively open lot with room for us to comply with all other setbacks issued by the city. This is the lot that we would like to put our detached garage on. The placement of the garage on this lot is crucial to our family for ease of entry as well as esthetics. 4. Topography. Lot 10, our second lot to the south is very flat and level for the first 70 feet of the western edge. (this is the area in front of our house) To the eastern edge (rear) the lot slopes approximately 16 feet from north to south as well as1 0 feet from east to west. A placement of a garage at the rear of this property would require extensive excavation, large retaining walls, large deep footings secured with T style backing to reduce future downgrade slide, as well as a loss esthetically to our current lot. I am in the custom home construction business and understand and appreciate very much complying with city policies and statutes. I believe that giving us a variance will keep with the spirit and intent of the City's zoning laws and will not change the character of the neighborhood. Where J would like to place my garage is an ideal location for many reasons and hope that you will grant us this. Thank you for your consideration.

Hey Planning 763-593-8095/763-593-8109 (fax) Date: October 23, 2003 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 530 Jersey (03-10-51) Darryl Chouinard, Applicant Darryl Chouinard owns the house and property at 530 Jersey Ave. N. (The property is located between Country Club Dr. and Olson Memorial Highway on Jersey Ave. N.) The applicant is requesting two variances in order to allow the construction of a two level deck on the front of the house. The previous deck or porch was in poor condition and was taken off the house when the house had siding and a new roof installed. The house is a split entry with the front door at the second level. Currently there are no stairs to the front door. Because there was a front yard setback variance for the existing house and house addition granted in 1981 and a setback variance for the garage built in 1984, it was known that the proposed deck would require variances because the deck would be extending farther into the front setback than the existing house. As part of the variance process, the applicant was required to submit an updated survey that shows the exact location of both the 1981 and 1984 improvements. One of the variances granted in 1984 allowed the garage to be constructed to within 3 ft. of the south property line rather than the required 5 ft. It is the current staff's finding that a second variance for the garage should have been considered because the garage is not located behind the house. The Zoning Code requires that all. accessory buildings must be located behind the house with at least 10ft. of separation. The proposed two level deck addition requires variances from the following sections of City Code: Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setbacks. 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 20 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 15 ft. at its closest point to the front yard property line along Jersey Ave. N. for a proposed two level deck/porch. Section 11.21, Subd. 12(A) Accessory Buildings. City Code requires that all accessory buildings be located wholly to the rear of the house. In this case, only a portion of the garage is located behind the house. The City's address file on this parcel indicates that the house was originally built in 1939. As stated above, variances were granted in 1981 and 1984 to allow the house to be expanded into the front yard setback and to allow a two-car garage to be constructed within 3 ft. of the south property line. . . . The previous "deck" that was on the front of the house was in poor condition and needed to be replaced. I removed it before new sidingand.roofing were put on the house. My front door is 6 feet off the ground and currently there is not a way to exit from there safely. My plans call for a relatively small two level deck that will have stairs that lead down to the ground level which will be landscaped with various shrubs and flowers. The landscape designer that I'm working with is trying to give the front of the house a softer more welcoming feel. In my discussions with all of my neighbors they are in full support of the plans as they are laid out and welcome the improvements that will be made to my front yard. Thanks for your time and consideration Darryl Chouinard 530 Jersey Ave N. .

The property is located along Bassett Creek just west of Seeman Park. The property is unique in that the applicant has property on both sides of the creek. When the applicant came to the Inspections Department to begin the building permit process, it was immediately known that variances would be required for the additions to go forward. There was a current survey available to the applicant that indicates the location of the house on the lot. The applicant is requesting variances from three requirements found in the Residential zoning district (Section 11.21) and one variance from a requirement found in the Shoreland Management district (Section 11.65). The request includes the addition of a third garage stall to be constructed to within 5 ft. of the east (side) property line. In addition to a side yard setback variance, the garage also requires a front yard setback variance. The garage also requires a variance from the Shoreland Management district. The Shoreland Management section of the Zoning Code requires that all structures be set back at least 50 ft. from the top of the bank of the creek. The existing house and proposed garage extension are as close as 17 ft. from top of the bank of the creek. The existing house never received a variance from this requirement since it was built in 1965 prior the existing of Shoreland regulations. However, the house is now considered nonconforming and cannot be added to unless a variance is granted from the requirements found in the Shoreland Management district of the Zoning Code. The City has contacted the Department of Natural Resources about this variance request as required by the Zoning Code. As of this time, staff has not received comments back from the DNR staff. Hopefully, the comments will be available for the meeting. This past summer the property owner received a grading, drainage and erosion control permit to rip-rap the creek shoreline. They are to be commended for their effort in the opinion of Environmental Coordinator, AI Lundstrom. City staff does not believe that the expansion of the garage to a point as close to the creek as the existing house would cause any adverse impacts on the creek. . . . The applicant is also proposing a covered porch or entryway that would extend into the front setback by 6.5 ft. or to within 20.9 ft. of Plymouth Ave. (The City Council approved a 27ft. front yard setback for this house in 1965.) 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. from the front property line or street right~of~way. The variance request is for 14.1 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 20.9 ft. at its closest point to Plymouth Ave. for the front porch addition. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard setback on lots 100 ft. or greater in width shall be 15 ft. for attached garages. The variance request is for 10ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 5 ft. at its closest point to the east property line for the proposed new garage addition. Section 11.65, Subd.5(A) Shoreland Management Zoning Provisions. City Code requires that all structures adjacent to Bassett Creek shall be set back at least 50 ft. from the top of the bank. The variance request is for 33 ft. off the required 50 ft. to a distance of 17 ft. at its closest point to the top of the bank for the existing house and proposed attached garage addition. There should be some mention made of the existing shed next to the attached garage. This shed does not meet setback requirements in that it must be located in the rear yard and at least 10ft. from the house. The shed is not located on the survey because it is in the location of the proposed garage stall. If the BZA decides not to allow the garage expansion, the shed location should be addressed. The options are to have it removed or grant it a variance for its existing location. There is no other place on the property for the shed due to the closeness of the house to the creek and lack of rear yard space. A review of the City file on this address shows that the house was built in 1965 and that a variance permitted it to be constructed to within 27 ft. of Plymouth Ave. No additions have been made to the house since it was built. No variances have been applied for or granted. . . . City of Golden Vallev Board ofZonin~eals Re: Residential Home 6515 Plymouth Avenue north Golden Valley, MN 55427 Home owners, Jean & Miria Thompson This property is a unique situation with reguards to zoning setbacks because the Basset Creek runs through the rear yard. The original structure is all ready only 27.5 feet to the street. The property is limited to use and space because of required setbacks for all detached and attached structural additions to the property. With the creek running through the rear yard, recent major erosion, and a new retaining wall system, the rear yard has gotten even smaller, and has no space for a shed of any sort that would not be in violation of setback codes. There is all ready a cement driveway for the proposed third garage stall. We feel our proposed plans would increase the use and enjoyment of the property as well as creating much better curb appeal and enhancing the property and neighborhood as a whole. We also believe that by adding these things, we are not affecting our neighbors use and enjoyment of their properties. Residential front and side variance requests, please refer to plans, pictures, and lot survey for visuals. First: front variance request: The current front step and door are in poor condition, needing attention. We would like to replace the current steps and door, and add an open covered entryway. The setback in front of the house is currently 27.5 feet to the street with a 4 foot stoop. The proposed plan brings the stoop out to a 6.5 foot length. Second: front and side variance request: Currently there is a cement driveway for a three-car garage. There is a two-car garage with a free standing shed where third stall would go. Said shed shall be removed if variance is granted. The setback for proposed garage stall is planed to be 34.5 feet from street, creating a need for a .5 ft variance in front. On the East side of the house, we are requesting 10 feet off the 15 foot to property tine side setback for proposed garage stall. Overview of goal: To be granted these variances to move forward with plans and replace roofthis season. Thank you very much for your consideration. . . .

(03-09-53) Paul Kaminski, Applicant Paul Kaminski owns the house and property at 1404 Alpine Pass in the South Tyrol area of Golden Valley. The applicant is requesting a variance from a requirement of the Residential Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order to bring the recently constructed house into conformity. As part of the building permit process, an as-built survey is required to be submitted to the Inspections Department after the house is completed or the foundation is in place. In the case of the Kaminski house, the as-built survey that was submitted indicates that the house is was located within the required 35 ft. front yard setback by .2 ft. In order to "correct" this situation, a front yard setback variance is required to make the house legally nonconforming. This process has not held up the final construction or occupancy of the house. A temporary certificate of occupancy has been granted. The variance allows for all the legal "paperwork" to be completed and gives a level of comfort to the homeowner. The following is the requested variance: Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that the setback be 35 ft. from the front property line or street right-of-way. The variance request is for .2 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 34.8 ft. at its closest point to the front property line along Alpine Pass for the existing house. The City's file on property indicates that the construction on the house began in summer 2003. . . . ~~ ~'"'- ~ ~ ~ '-:::. \::: I ~~'""- ~.~~, '-~..,:~_~ ~\.;:)'- ~.

(03-10-54) Phyllis Kyrola, Applicant Phyllis Kyrola is the owner of the house and property at 1320 Gettysburg Ave. N. The property is located on the east side of Gettysburg just north of Plymouth Ave. The applicant is requesting variances from two requirements of the Residential Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order to allow for the construction of a porch on the rear of the house. The applicant came to the Inspections Department in order to begin the building permit process. Since there was no current survey on file, the applicant was required to submit a survey showing the location of all buildings on the property. The survey indicated that the existing house does not meet the front and side yard setback requirements. The proposed deck meets all building 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 of the deck prior to the issuance of a 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 variance application material. The signed "Hold Harmless" agreement is attached. The following variances are requested: Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires that the front yard setback shall be 35 ft. from the front property line or any street right-of-way. The variance request is for .9 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 34.1 ft. at its closest point to the front property line along Gettysburg for the existing house. Section 11.21, Subd. 7C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard setback shall be 15% of the lot width. The variance request is for 3.59 ft. off the required 9.19 ft. to a distance of 5.6 ft. at its closest point to the north side yard property line for the existing home. The City's address file indicates that the house was built in 1965. There have been no other variances granted or applied for on this property.

In June 2003, a building permit was taken out to tear down the existing detached garage and replace it with a new, larger detached garage. The new garage was constructed at the same distance from Rhode Island Ave. as the old garage. However, the new garage was 4 ft. wider and 14 ft. longer. The new garage exceeded the required 5 ft. side yard setback and is located more than 10ft. from the house. However, an oversight was made by staff because the new garage was not located wholly behind the house as shown on the new survey. At the time of the garage construction, a variance should have been required for its current location. Now, the owner would like to add on to the rear of the existing house in a manner that meets setback.requirements. However, the detached garage (which is now not wholly behind the house) will become even "less" behind the house after the addition is done. The entire property is now considered nonconforming and cannot be added to unless a variance is granted. The following variance from City Code is requested in order to allow the building addition to go forward: Section 11.21, Subd. 12(A) Accessory Buildings. City Code requires that detached accessory buildings must be located wholly to the rear of the house with at least 10ft. of separation. The variance request is to allow the existing garage to remain in its current location as shown on the attached survey. The detached garage would become legally nonconforming and permit the conforming building additions to go forward. The City's file on this property does not indicate a specific date when the house was built, although there are enough hints to show it was built in the early 1950's. No other variances have been granted or applied for at this address. . <* "'7) \ - ,. 1 I 1I \S" ""'.1 (;,~l( t'\' c~ M aO illi 1\) Street Address "HOLD HARMLESS' I, \J'li f1 , i ~ An",. ,~~\ ," J am requesting the City of Golden Valley to allow me to proceed with a(n) onto my house.

Hey M u Planning 763.593.8095/763.593-8109 (fax) Date: October 24, 2003 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 1725 York Ave. N. (03-10-57) James Salter, Applicant James Salter is the owner of the house and property at 1725 York Ave. N. This property is located in the farnortheast part of the City just west of Xerxes Ave. and south of Golden Valley Rd. The applicant is requesting variances from two requirements of the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21) in order to allow the construction of a conforming deck on the rear of the house. The applicant came to the Inspections Department in order to begin the building permit process for the deck. 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 not meet the side setback requirement on both sides of the house. The proposed deck meets 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 eh issuance of the variances to make the house legally nonconforming. The signed "Hold Harmless" agreement is attached. The following are the requested variances: . Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard setback shall be 15% of the lot width. The variance request is for 7.82 ft. off the required 11.62 ft. to a distance of 3.8 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% of the lot width. The variance request is for 6.62 ft. off the required 11.62 ft. to a distance of 5 ft. at its closest point to the south side yard property line for the existing house. The City's file on this address indicates that the house was built in 1948. There have been no other variances granted or applied for at this address. . (t I ~~.s 'k ex -IQlJt. .
