Minutes of the Board of Zoning Appeals October 28,2003 Page 8 Shaffer referred to the applicant's plans and stated that the front porch doesn't go out six feet as stated, but only five feet. He stated that he has seen memos from Tom Hovey in the past but that this one is particularly strong. Grimes said it is probably because this proposal is so close to the creek. McCracken-Hunt asked if the applicants have seen the memo from Tom Hovey. Grimes said they had.

McCracken- Hunt said it would be an extension of the existing garage. Shaffer said that might also fix the erosion problem and he thought would be a good compromise. He said he wouldn't even be averse to pulling the storage area ahead in order to have it line up with the house. Miria Thompson asked if a door to walk through to the outside could be installed in the storage area. McCracken-Hunt said there could be a big enough door for a lawn mower or things like that to fit through, but not a door 8 Minutes of the Board of Zoning Appeals October 28, 2003 Page 9 . big enough for any type of car. She clarified that the storage area could be as close as 27 % feet to the front yard property line, 7 feet to the side yard property line and 29 feet from the top of the bank of the creek. Cera said that would mean that the storage area could be 8 feet by 16 feet if it aligned with the house or 8 feet by 11 feet if it aligned with the garage. Miria Thompson referred to an existing deck that is attached to their house. She said that is approximately two feet away from the creek and asked if that would require any variances.

Planning 763-593-8095 I 763-593-8109 (fax) Date: November 17, 2003 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 5150 - 33rd Ave. North (03-11-58) Gregory Schindler, Applicant Gregory Schindler is the owner of the house and property at 5150 - 33rd Ave. N. The property is at the northeast intersection of 33rd Ave. N. and Scott Ave. N. The applicant is requesting variances from four requirements of the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21) in order to allow the construction of a 12 ft. by 20 ft. deck on the rear of the house. When the applicant came to the Inspections Department in order to begin the building permit process, it was determined that the existing house does not meet the 35 ft setback requirement along Scott Ave. N. Therefore, a survey was submitted by Mr. Schindler in order to determine the specific location of the buildings on the property. The survey indicates the garage was constructed 32.5 ft. from Scott Ave. N. rather than the required 35 ft. The City required no variance when the garage wasadded in 1958. (The house was built in 1956.) In 1974, a family room was constructed above the garage. No variance was required at that time even though the addition above the garage extended into the required setback along Scott Ave. N. The deck that is attached to the family room addition along Scott Ave. N. extends into the required setback to a distance of 28.5 ft. from the property line. The City address file does not indicate that a permit was taken out for the deck along the west side of the house. Therefore, a variance was not required for the deck. Mr. Schindler would like to construct a deck to the rear of the house that would have the same setback as the existing deck along the west side of the house (28.5 ft.) The survey also indicated that the shed located at the northeast corner of the lot is within the side and rear setback requirements along both the north and east property lines. In order for the shed to remain in this location, setback variances would have to be granted. In this case, the shed is currently located in a 5 ft. wide drainage and utility easement that runs along the east (rear) property line. Staff recommends that the applicant move the shed to meet setback requirements and remove it from the drainage and utility easement. . . . Staff suggests that the shed be moved to a conforming location prior to the approval of the final inspection for the deck. The proposed deck 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 6.5 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 28.5 ft. at its closest point to the front yard property line along Scott Ave. N. for the existing deck. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setbacks. City Code requires that all structures b'e set back at least 35 ft. from a front property line or street right-of-way. The variance request is for 6.5 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 28.5 ft. at its closest point to the front yard property line along Scott Ave. N. for the proposed new deck. Section 11.21, Subd. 12(A) Accessory Buildings. City Code requires that accessory buildings be located at least 5 ft. from a rear or side property line.

A review of the City address file for this property indicates that the house was built in 1956 and that an attached garage was added in 1958. In 1974, a family room addition was added above the garage. No variances have been granted or applied for at this address. . Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) Zoning Code Variance Application Q~estion #3: My family and I moved into the house in question (5150 33rd Avenue North, Golden Valley, MN 55422) in November 2002. We are applying for a variance to the current property setbacks to build a deck on the back of our home. During the process of obtaining a building permit I was asked to locate two property irons on my lot. This was done and an inspection was completed by the city of Golden Valley. The inspection revealed that when the property was built in the1950's the house didn't meet the setback requirement of35'. The house as it currently sits is at 33'6". A subsequent "as built survey" was completed (attached) to show where the house currently sits in relation to the lot. The deck plans which were approved by the City of Golden Valley would show that the deck would be constructed and wouldn't meet the current setback requirement of35'. It would in fact remain at 33'6" which is where.the house has been at for the last 50 years. I have enclosed a few pictures for your review and look forward to discussing my deck . and the proposed variance on October 28th, .

(03-11-59) David Thompson, Applicant David Thompson is the owner of the house and property at 1319 Zealand Ave. N. The property is located three houses north of Plymouth Ave. The applicant is requesting a variance from Section 11.21 of the zoning code in order to allow for the construction of a 12 ft. by 14 ft. three- season porch addition on the rear of the house in the same location as the existing deck. When the applicant approached the City about the addition, one of the city inspectors went to the property to verify that the existing house and addition would meet setback requirements. The inspector reported that the existing deck and garage were located less than 10ft. apart. (The zoning code requires that there be at least a 10ft. separation between a detached garage and house.) A survey was produced for the applicant that indicates that the garage is 7.25 ft. from the existing deck. The house was built in 1960 and the garage with patio was constructed in 1965. No variances were required forthe house or garage construction. Sometime after 1965, the deck was added to the rear of the house without a building permit or variance. A variance would have been required for the construction of the deck because it is less than 10 ft. from the house. The following variance is required in order to allow for the construction of the three-season porch: . Section 11.21, Subd. 12(A) Accessory Buildings. 2.75 ft. off the required 10ft. to a distance of 7.25 ft. at its closest point from the corner of the proposed three-season porch to the existing garage. A review of the City address file for this property indicates that the house was built in 1960 and that the garage with patio was built in 1965. The deck was constructed without a building permit some time after 1965. - 03/21/97 10:52 .,. .. ~ . File # 06..50109Z 3/14/97 ITlspeczeci b:v: David CElrlurUl'r . . I . f-'; i i ! i I (;110 @ I . .

Planning 763-593-8095 I 763-593-8109 (fax) Date: November 17, 2003 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: MarkW. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 3325 Kyle Ave. North (03-11-60) Dave and Pat Nesbitt, Applicant Dave and Pat Nesbitt are the owners of the house and property 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 a variance from one requirement of the Residential chapter of the Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order to allow the construction of a front porch. In this case, the applicant received two variances this past July in order to construct a breezeway that is now under construction. These variances were necessary in order to make the existing house legally nonconforming. (The house is slightly off the required front and side setback requirement.) These variances were considered a "Hold Harmless" situation since the. breezeway addition was maintaining the same front setback as the existing house. The applicant has now decided to build a 5 ft. by 5 ft. open porch off the front of the house that would extend into the front setback. It would have a roof to provide protection over the front door. The survey indicates the location of the porch addition. The 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 the front yard setback be 35 ft. The variance request is for 5.9 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 29.1 ft. at its closest point to the front yard property line along Kyle Ave. N. for a proposed front porch addition. The City address file on this property indicates that the house was built in 1948. As stated above, variances were granted in July 2003 to allow the breezeway construction that is now underway. . . . n I' II $11/6" i1-i II II I' II If,:: I II I Ii I il , I' I I i ,I , I, I 'I , I, I II I " Ii I Ii !

(03-11-61 ) Pro Partners Group, LLC, Applicant . . . . -' Planning 763-593-8095/763-593-8109 (fax) Date: November 17, 2003 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 4949 Olson Memorial Highway (03-11-61) Pro Partners, Applicant Pro Partners is the owner of the office building at 4949 Olson Memorial Highway. (OMH) This property is located on the south side of OMH just east of the intersection with Schaper Rd. At the November 5,2003 City Council meeting, the Council gave approval ofa conditional use permit for the operation of an adult day care business by Pro Partners at this location. The adult day care would serve up to 92 adults with 18 employees. In order to provide enough parking for the adult day care, Pro Partners told the City Council that they would expand the existing parking lot to the south. This expansion would meet the side yard setback of 10ft. to the east and west property line. The existing parking lot and driveway along the west property line were to remain in the same location. (The existing parking lot and driveway do not meet the side yard setback requirement of 10ft. but they can remain as a nonconforming parking lot as long as no changes are made to it.) Since the approval of the CUP, Pro Partners decided to rip up the entire existing parking lot and driveway and build a parking lot extension to the south in a slightly different location. Once the existing parking lot and driveway were removed, the new parking lot must meet all setback requirements. (The existing parking lot and driveway were removed prior to issuance of proper permits from the Public Works Department. No future work is to be done on the parking lot or driveway until proper permits are issued by the Public Works Department and the variance is either approved or denied. The permits are related to drainage, grading, erosion control and tree preservation.) As indicated on the attached survey and site plan, the new parking lot location requires side yard setback variances in order to go forward in addition to certain Public Works Department permits. If the variances are not granted, Pro Partners will be required to put back the parking lot in the "old" location with curb and gutter and all necessary permits from the Public Works Department. . . . The following variances are needed in order to construct the parking lot as indicated on the attached plan: . Section 11.45, Subd. 5(8)(3) Side Yard Setbacks. City Code requires that the side yard setback for parking lots be 10ft. in the Business and Professional Office district when adjacent to another property zoned in a similar manner. The variance request if for 7.5 ft. off the required 10ft. to a distance of 2.5 ft. at its closest point to the east side yard property line for the existing and expanded parking lot. . Section 11.45, Subd. 5(8)(3) Side Yard Setbacks. City Code requires that the side yard setback for parking lots be 10ft. in the Business and Professional Office district when adjacent to another property zoned in a similar manner. The variance request is for 8 ft. off the required 1 0 ft. to a distance of 2 ft. at its closest point to the west side yard property line for the existing and expanded parking lot and driveway. The City address file indicates the building was constructed in 1961. A small addition was built in 1971. No variances have been applied for or granted to this location. As stated above, a Conditional Use Permit was issued this month for the operation of an adult day care facility serving 92 persons. 3. .

That decision was made in response to concerns voiced by members of the Planning and Zoning Commission (on October 13, 2003) regarding the availability of sufficient paved surface area for the on-site maneuvering and standing of buses that would provide transportation to and from the site for some of the individuals who would be served by this facility. That decision was also made in response to information gathered at an October 21, 2003 meeting conducted with the Building Official and Deputy Fire Marshal and also after subsequent communication with the Deputy Fire Marshal. Variances to the east and west side yard paving setbacks are being sought in order to increase the size of the paved area. That increase in size is necessary for the following reasons: (1) The Golden Valley Fire Marshal's office directed the provision of a 20' wide fire lane and emergency vehicle access into the site along the site's western boundary. In part because the site does not have sufficient room to allow for the turn-around of fire vehicles, the Owner's plans to provide a fire extinguishing system and a fire alarm system into the existing building. Two (2) feet of additional width is required to be added to the existing entry drive. Those two feet are planned to be placed onto the west side of the existing paving so as to keep vehicles that utilize that paving a safe distance away from the building's existing western wall. The existing paving is located approximately three (3) Arom that west wall. Thus, the entry drive's east boundary cannot be modified so as to become closer to the building. ~he size of each drive aisle turning radius was increased from fifteen (15) feet to eighteen (18) feet so as to provide greater and safer maneuverability for buses. That increase in radius adds to the overall size and to the individual dimensions of the paved parking area. (3) A minimum of thirty-seven (37) vehicle parking stalls are required in order to provide for the maximum number of persons planned to occupy the building and to comply with applicable Golden Valley Zoning Ordinances. The original design provided for thirty five (35) stalls for a lesser amount of persons. (4) Thus, the design of the vehicle parking area was modified: so as to provide for therequired fire lane and emergency vehicle access into the site; with reconfigured and realigned stalls such that there would be sufficient area for bus maneuvering and standing; and so as to include an increase in the number of parking stalls from 35 to 37. Please communicate the above to members of the Board of Zoning Appeals. BUETOW AND ASSOCIATES, INC. Randy L.

Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 8811 Olson Memorial Highway (03-11-62) KARE..11, Applicant KARE-11 owns the studio and office at 8811 Olson Memorial Highway (southwest corner of Olson Memorrctl Highway and General Mills Blvd.). They are requesting variances from two requirements of the Business and Professional Offices zoning district (Section 11.45) that would allow for the expansion of the parking lot south of the KARE building. KAREis proposing to expand the parking lot in order to compensate for the future loss of more than 20 on-street parking adjacent to their property along both the south frontage road of Olson Memorial Highway and General Mills Blvd. A total of 22 new parking spaces would be constructed by adding to their south parking lot if the variances are approved. The total number of parking spaces on the KARE property would increase from 160 to 182. As stated before, more than 20 on-street parking spaces will be eliminated with the road reconstruction. City staff believes that is important for KARE to have as many off-street parking spaces as possible in order to accommodate their employees and visitors. At peak times, their parking lot is a near capacity. The expansion and modification of the KARE parking area is a result of the road construction necessary to accommodate the additional traffic resulting from the growth at the General Mills' Headquarters. Earlier this year, three new traffic signals went into operation along General Mills Blvd. Next year, even more significant construction will occur including the reconstruction of the intersection of Olson Memorial Highway and General Mills Blvd. This reconstruction will take the entire 2004 construction season and will provide more capacity at the intersection. Because of the intersection reconstruction, changes have to be made to General Mills Blvd. One of those changes includes the elimination of the south frontage road that intersects with General Mills Blvd. just south of Olson Memorial Highway. This frontage road connection to General Mills Blvd. must be eliminated because it is too close to the intersection with. Olson Memorial Highway. A new neighborhood access road will be . . . constructed between the General Mills parking lot for their Bassett Creek office building and the KARE parking lot. This road will provide access to the residential neighborhood west of KARE and to the KARE and General Mills parking lots. A new driveway to the north KARE parking lot (next to the weather "backyard") will be created off General Mills Blvd. that will permit only a right turn in and out because there will be a new median in General Mills Blvd. to a point about 600 ft. south of Olson Memorial Highway. This will be the only access to the north parking lot. One of the parking lot access points to the south KARE lot will be eliminated as indicated on the site plan. The following variances are requested in order to allow for the expansion of the KARE parking lot: · Section 11.45, Subd. 5(A)(1) Front Yard Setbacks. City Code requires that in the Business and Professional Offices zoning district, parking lots must be set back at least 35 ft. from a street right-of-way. The variance is for 14.7 ft. off the required 35 ft. to adistance of 20.3 ft. at its closest point along General Mills Blvd. for the parking lot expansion and a portion of the existing parking lot just south of the KARE building. · Section 11.45, Subd. 5(A)(1) Front Yard Setbacks. City Code requires that in the Business and Professional Offices zoning district, parking lots must be set back at least 35 ft. from a street right-of-way. The variance is for 10 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 25 ft. at its closest point to the front property line along the new neighborhood access road for the existing parking lot and its reconstruction. (In this case, the City has already obtained the right-of-way from General Mills for the new neighborhood access road, therefore, the street setback must be maintained.) The City address file on this property indicates that the original studio was built on this site around 1970 with several improvements made since that date. A variance was granted in 1988 for construction a fenced area along the west property line for satellite dishes.

KARE 11 Zoning Variance Application November 4, 2003 STATEMENT OF REASONS AND HARDSHIP FOR VARIANCE KARE 11 is requesting this variance in response to significant changes to our site traffic flow and operation, resulting from the proposed improvements to the intersection of Trunk Highway 55 and General Mills Boulevard by the City. The variance is requested for setbacks of the south parking lot, from General Mills Boulevard and the proposed neighborhood access. The hardship to KARE 11 will be in the form of reduced access to our north parking lot, increased congestion at our northernmost driveway, and removal of left turns at the driveways adjacent to our building. As shown onthe attached site map, the south TH 55 frontage road will be closed. While we understand that closure of this frontage road will improve the safety of the intersection, it imposes a hardship to KARE 11, as it closes access to our north parking lot. We have agreed to a revised access from our north driveway, but as this driveway also serves a parking lot under the building, the congestion at this driveway will increase significantly. Further, the City is proposing a raised median in front of the two existing driveways adjacent to the building, which will not allow for left turns in or out. Because of this increased congestion and reduced access, we are considering changing the north parking lot to a visitor/delivery lot only. Further, once the proposed improvements to General Mills Boulevard are made, the City will no longer allow street parking in front of our building. Consequently, we will require additional parking in the south lot, which we are proposing along the east edge as shown. The City is proposing a neighborhood access immediately south of our project, with a driveway into our south parking lot. Weare not proposing to expand our parking lot to the south, but because the City is proposing a new road here, we now must obtain a variance for setback from our south property line. . . . . " .~ .

(03-11-63) Dr. Wayne Dahl, Applicant . . . . Hey Planning 763-593-8095/763-593-8109 (fax) Date: November 17, 2003 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 604 Lilac Drive N. (03-11-63) Dr. Wayne Dahl, Applicant Dr. Wayne Dahl recently purchased the Metropole restaurant at 604 Lilac Dr. N. (The property is located in the northeast quadrant of Olson Memorial Highway and TH 100.) The site is about one acre in size. The applicant is requesting four variances from requirements of the Commercial zoning district of the Zoning Code in order that the building may be enlarged. Dr. Dahl purchased the property with the intention of operating a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) clinic. He plans to install one of the few stand-up MRI devices in the United States. Patients would be referred to this clinic for the sole purpose of having a MRI scan done. In addition, he would like to do training for health care professionals about how this type of MRI device is used and works. In order to accommodate the MRI, an additional 2000 sq. ft. of space must be added to the building. This new space is planned to be added to the southwest corner of the building. Dr. Dahl would like the remaining space in the building to continue as a banquet facility with over 100 seats. The current restaurant operator would operate this banquet facility. Variances are required for this development because Dr. Dahl is planning to add to a nonconforming building. The existing building does not meet landscape area setback requirements or the parking space requirement. In order for someone to add to an existing nonconforming building, variances are needed to make the site and/or building legally nonconforming. The survey submitted by Dr. Dahl indicates that there are 71 parking spaces on the site. This includes 13 spaces that are located on Lilac Dr. N. right-of-way. I have spoken to the Pubic Works Director about this parking. She said that the frontage road would be turned back to the City in the future and when that is done; the City will insist that the parking be removed. Therefore, staff is not including this parking in the count. Staff will use 58 spaces as the parking available for this site. . NAI Architects have submitted a parking requirement chart for the facility. They indicate .that 121 spaces are required for the combined MRI/banquet facility. Staff believes that the number is 126 spaces because the NAI analysis did not include bathroom space. If the bathroom space is included, staff puts the parking requirement at 126 spaces. If there are 126 spaces required and only 58 spaces available, the proposed facility is 68 spaces short. Dr. Dahl has been trying to obtain parking rights from adjacent property owners. Staff does not know if Dr. Dahl has been successful at this effort. (The City would accept an agreement between Dr. Dahl and adjacent property owners that would allow Dr. Dahl's customers to use adjacent parking lots under certain conditions. The agreement would have to be permanent and not be able to be cancelled. The parking would also have to be located within 500 ft. of the Dahl property and allow safe pedestrian access.) He has also asked MnDOT to purchase a portion of state-owned property just south of the future Poquet auto building. This could provide additional parking for the site. However, City staff is not in favor of using this property for off-site parking because it is across the street from the building. This would place pedestrians in a dangerous situation because they would have to cross the street in a location where the street turns that limits a driver's visibility. The proposed addition requires variances from the following sections of City Code: . . Section 11.30, Subd. 7(A) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that the front yard setback to any street right-of-way shall be 35 ft. in a Commercial zoning district. The variance request is for 35 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 0 ft. of landscaping to the front property line along Lilac Dr. N. for the existing parking lot. All front yard setbacks are to be maintained as landscaped areas. · Section 11.30, Subd. 7(8)(4) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that the side or rear yard setback shall be 30 ft. adjacent to a Business and Professional Offices zoning district with half the setback landscaped. The variance request is for 15 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 0 ft. of landscaping to the north side yard property line for the existing parking lot. . Section 11.30, Subd. 7(8)(4) Yard Requirements. City Code requires that the side or rear yard setback shall be 30ft. adjacent to a Multiple Family zoning district with half the setback landscaped. The variance request is for 12 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 3 ft. of landscaping to the south side property line for the existing parking lot. . Section 11.46, Subd. 7(C) Loading and Parking Requirements. City Code requires that the combined MRI clinic/banquet facility have 126 parking spaces. The variance request is for 68 parking spaces off the required 126 spaces for a total of 58 parking spaces for the entire lot. . The City address file indicates the restaurant was constructed in 1952 with an addition added in 1958. There have been numerous interior improvements over the years. A variance was granted in 1976 to expand the building to allow for the construction of a dishwasher room. The minutes of the 1976 meeting for the variance indicates that the building, site and parking are nonconforming. . ~~.. ARCHITECTS NORDBY & ASSOC., INC. . MRI I BANOUETFACILITY A.

Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 15 Natchez Ave. N. (03-11-64) Ernst Brombacher, Applicant Ernst Brombacher is the owner of the house and property at 15 Natchez Ave. N. (The property is located on the west side of Natchez several houses north of Glenwood Ave.) The applicant is requesting variances from two requirements of the Residential zoning district found in the Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order to allow for the construction of a three- season 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 available and it was not possible to verify the location of the house by property monuments, the applicant was required to submit a survey showing the location of all buildings on the property. The survey was prepared and it indicates that the existing house does not meet the required side and rear yard setback requirements. The proposed three-season porch 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 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) FrontYard Setback. City Code requires that the front yard setback shall be 35 ft. from any street. The variance is for 2.4 ft. off the required 35ft. to a distance of 32.6 ft. at its closest point to the front property line along Natchez Ave. N. 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 is for 0.4 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 14.6 ft. at its closest point to the south side yard property line for the existing house. The City address file for this property indicates that the house was built in 1953. No permits have been issued to expand the footprint of the house. No variances have been applied for or granted to this address. . CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY FOR: Ernst Brombacher' 15 Natchez Ave. N Golden Valley, MN .:', " . ,.- ;' .... \0.

Planning 763-593-8095/763-593-8109 (fax) Date: November 17, 2003 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 701 Parkview Terrace (03-11-65) Kathryn.Sedo, Applicant Kathryn Sedo is the owner of the house and property at 701 Parkview Terrace. (The property is located on the east side of Parkview Terrace south of Glenwood Ave.) The applicaht is requesting variances from two requirements of the Residential zoning district found in the Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order to allow for the construction of an addition on the rear of the house above an existing deck that was built in 1991. The applicant came to the Inspections Department in order to begin the building permit process. Since there was a current survey available, it was known that the existing house does not meet the required side and front yard setback. Also, the survey indicates that the existing deck was built slightly into the required sideyard setback area in 1991. (The addition will be constructed over the deck.) No variances were required for the deck construction in 1991. This was a mistake and variances should have been applied for at that time for the deck construction because of the nonconforming location ofthe house. It does appearthat the deck was to be built to meet the 15 ft. setback but it is off by about 0.5 ft. as noted on the survey. 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 addition prior to the issuance of the variances to make the house and existing deck legally nonconforming. The 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(C) Side Yard Setback. City Code requires that the side yard setback shall be 15 ft. The variance request is for 1.7 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 13.3 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 setb.ack shall be 15 ft. The variance request is for .58 ft. off the required 15 ft. to a distance of 14.42 ft. for the existing deck and proposed addition at its closest point to the north side yard property line for the existing house. . . . · Section 11.21,Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code requires thatthe front yard setback from a street shall be 35 ft. The variance request is for 5 ft. off the required 35 ft. to a distance of 30 ft. at its closest point to the front yard property line along Parkview Terrace for the existing house. The City files indicate the house was built in 1939. The deck was constructed in 1991. No other permits were issued to increase the footprint of the house. However, the house has been expanded vertically. No variances have been granted or applied for on this property. 2. .

Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: 1120 Wisconsin Ave. S. (03-11-66) EUzabeth Hoffman, Applicant Elizabeth Hoffman is the owner of the house and property at 1120 Wisconsin Ave. S. The property is located south of 1-394 just west of Winnetka Ave. She is requesting a variance from a requirement of the Residential Zoning Code (Section 11.21) in order to allow for the construction of an addition to the rear of the house. When the applicant came to the Inspections Department about this addition, the applicant had a survey. The survey shows that the existing detached garage is not in a conforming location. Detached garages must be located behind the house with at least 10ft. of separation. (The garage is separated by 10ft. from the house.) Since the proposed addition does meet the 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 property 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 variance is requested: · Section 11.21,Subd. 12(A) Accessory Buildings. City Code requires that detached garages must be located wholly behind the house and have at least 10 ft. of separation. In this case, the garage is located to the side of the house. (It is located at least 10 ft. from the house as indicated on the survey.) A review of the City address file indicates that the house was built in 1950 and that a porch was added in 1958. There is no information in the file about a garage permit although it was on the site when the porch was built in 1958. No other variances have been granted or applied for at this address or granted. 10/29/2003 08:28 7639729061 PAGE 62 T~7Z P.OO2/DOI ,.a.1 . '1D-Ia-aa 10138.. Frar-Bl.t I Flln.". +8128395897 .
