Olson stated that a preliminary plat for subdividing this property was recently approved
by the City Council. He explained that both of the waivers currently being requested
had been approved in the past but because the property is now being subdivided those
variances become null and void so they need to request them again. Olson suggested
that the Board add as a condition of approval that these variances are subject to final
plat approval from the City Council.
Shaffer discussed the recent subdivision request for this property. He stated that the
Planning Commission had recommended approval to the City Council.
MOVED by Shaffer, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to approve the
request for .5 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 34.5 feet for the existing

.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a garage addition to the existing
home.
Olson reminded the Board that last September this same applicant requested variances
for their existing home because they wanted to construct a conforming garage. He
stated that since then, the applicants have changed their plans and are now requesting
a variance for the garage addition.

garage with a peaked roof, which would fit in better with the neighborhood.

house is skewed on the lot.

request for 3 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 32 feet for the proposed
garage at its closest point to the front yard property line along Adell Avenue.

requirements.
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Subd. 12{A) Accessory Buildings

the house. He stated that the reason he wants this big of a garage is because they
need to get both cars in the garage and have room for storage.
Shaffer stated that the existing garage seemed to be tilting and asked the applicant if
he has looked for footings under the garage since they are proposing an upper level on
the new garage addition. Ralph stated that the upper level in the proposed garage
would be just for storage.
Shaffer suggested moving the proposed garage 2 feet to the south and .8 feet to the
east because then the applicant wouldn't need to request side or rear setback
variances. Ralph stated that would not be a problem.
Cera asked if moving the proposed garage as suggested would leave enough room
between the house and garage. McCracken-Hunt stated there would be 11 feet
between the house and garage which would still meet the requirement.
MOVED by Sell, seconded by Shaffer and motion carried unanimously to deny the
request for 2 feet off the required 5 feet to a distance of 3 feet for the proposed
detached garage at its closest point to the north side yard property line and for .8 feet
off the required 5 feet to a distance of 4.2 feet for the proposed detached garage at its
closest point to the rear yard property line.
MOVED by Sell, seconded by Shaffer and motion carried unanimously to approve the
request to build the garage to the north of the existing home, rather than behind the
home.

· 3.1 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 11.9 feet for the
proposed garage addition at its closest point to the south side yard
property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a garage addition to the existing
home.
Olson stated that the applicant is proposing to build a garage addition that would meet
the front setback requirements but would be approximately 3 feet closer to the south
property line than what is required.
McCracken-Hunt asked if the dimensions of the proposed garage would be 24 feet by
22 feet. Olson stated that was correct. Cera asked if the existing garage is 20 feet
wide. Olson stated that was correct.

Daniel Plunkett, applicant stated that the existing garage is small and that both of his
vehicles measure 8 feet wide from mirror to mirror. He stated that it is hard to load his
kids into the car and that there is only 4" of clearance from the front of the garage to the
back.
Cera asked the applicant if he is proposing to tear down the existing garage. Plunkett
stated that only two of the walls would be moving out 4 feet in each direction. He stated
that the neighbor to the south is approximately 22 feet away from the property line and
that he feels there would still be enough room between the new garage and the
neighbor's house.
MOVED by Sell, seconded by Shaffer and motion carried unanimously to approve the
request for 3.1 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 11.9 feet for the proposed
garage addition at its closest point to the south side yard property line.

Olson stated that this applicant also requested variances in June of 2001. He stated
that this proposal is similar, but they have revised their plans and have submitted a new
survey for the above variance requests. Olson stated he reviewed the setbacks
incorrectly last June but that these new variance requests would supersede the ones
that were previously approved. He stated that the applicants are proposing to add a
rear yard room addition and to replace an existing deck. They are also proposing to
enclose the bottom portion of the new rear yard addition to use for garage space.
McCracken-Hunt referred to the applicant's narrative and home occupation
requirements and questioned if curators coming to the home would be acceptable.
Olson discussed some of the home occupation requirements and stated that curators
coming to the applicant's home office would not violate the home occupation ordinance.
Jon Swenson, applicant, discussed his building plans and showed the Board some
pictures of what is currently located on the lot and what they are proposing to add. He
stated that the addition would be located in an isolated area on the lot and that the
neighbors have no problems with the proposal. He stated that they have been trying to
do most of the work on the south side of the property because it has the least amount
of impact to the neighborhood.
Bernice Swenson, applicant explained that the proposed addition would be for studio
space and that it would not be retail space and she would not have customers coming
to their house. She stated that there would be approximately three visits per year from
curators or museum directors. McCracken-Hunt stated that she wanted the applicants
to understand the home occupation ordinance.
Jon Swenson stated that enclosing the lower part of the proposed addition would allow
for a garage/workshop area, would look better and would give them more options.
Shaffer asked the applicant to show the plans for the addition. Swenson showed the
Board the plans and stated that the City building inspectors recommended that the
lower part of the addition be enclosed. Shaffer stated that the new plans were similar to
the ones the Board saw last June. Swenson stated that the new proposed addition is
actually smaller.
MOVED by Shaffer, seconded by Sell and motion carried unanimously to approve the
following variance requests with the stipulation that these variance approvals are to
supersede the variances granted in June 2001 :
· 9.77 feet off the required 14 feet to a distance of 4.23 feet for the proposed deck
addition at its closest point to the south side yard property line.
· 6.3 feet off the required 14 feet to a distance of 7.7 feet for the proposed room
addition at its closest point to the south side yard property line.
· 1.77 feet off the required 14 feet to a distance of 12.23 feet for the existing home at
its closest point to the south side yard property line.

6620 Olympia Street (Map 15) (02-5-26)
Shaun Graham, Applicant
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback
· .2 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 34.8 feet for the
existing home at its closest point to the front yard property line along
Olympia Street.
· 30.1 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 4.9 feet for the
existing deck at its closest point to the front yard property line along
Hampshire Avenue North.
· 19 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 16 feet for the existing
home and the proposed 2-story room addition at its closest point to
the front yard property line along Hampshire Avenue North.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a garage and 2-story room addition to
the existing home, as well as to bring the existing home and deck into
conformance with building setback requirements.
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(8) Rear Yard Setback
· 4.7 feet off the required 28.7 feet to a distance of 24 feet for the
proposed garage and 2-story room addition at its closest point to the
rear yard property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a garage and room addition to the
existing home.
Olson reviewed the applicant's request to build a two-story room addition and garage
addition to his existing home. He stated that the proposed additions as well as the
existing house require variances from the setback requirements.
McCracken-Hunt noted that part of the hardship in this case is that it is a corner lot.
Cera stated that the elevation change on the lot is also unique.
Shaun Graham, applicant stated he wants to take care of these variance requests
before he goes any further with the proposed additions. He stated he is in a business
which requires the materials be kept warm and that he is currently parking three cars on
the street. He stated that he wants to add a second story to his home because it only
has 900 square feet.

McCracken-Hunt noted that the existing garage is 20 feet x 24 feet. Cera stated that
size garage is actually a large single stall garage. Graham stated that there is a 7 -foot
wide door on the existing garage and that he can't get a car into it. He showed the
Board a sketch of an elevation for the proposal and stated he would eventually like to
turn the breezeway into a dining room.
Cera asked the applicant if he had any detailed drawings of the proposal. Graham
stated that Staff told him he didn't need to have detailed plans but that he had done a
lot of planning before he came to the City with these variance requests.
Shaffer asked the applicant if he is planning to keep the existing garage. Graham
stated no he was not.
McCracken-Hunt stated that the variance request for the existing deck concerns her
and asked if the deck could be moved to the other side of the house instead of being in
front of the house. Cera stated that there is already a deck on the side of the house.
Sell stated that the deck in front is really an entryway.
Shaffer asked the applicant if the new addition could be moved back four feet. Graham
stated that then it wouldn't line up with the existing house. Shaffer stated that the new
addition might look better and not so massive if it were pushed back a little bit.
Cera stated he was having difficulty picturing how this proposal would work. Graham
stated that he thought the concern was the distance from the property line, not the flow
of the house.
Sell asked about the distance to the property line of the proposed addition along the
north side. McCracken-Hunt stated it would be approximately 16 feet, but if the addition
were pushed back 4 feet then the distance would be 20 feet in the front.
Shaffer stated that this proposal makes him nervous because there is a good chance
that this applicant would be back with more variance requests in the future. He stated
that if the addition were moved back it would be more in line with the homes already in
the neighborhood. He stated that he is hesitant about approving these variance
requests without seeing more detailed plans and suggested that the applicant hire a
designer to help with the plans for this addition. He stated that he thinks this request
should be tabled.
McCracken-Hunt stated that she would also like to table this request and have the
applicant explore the possibilities of moving the Hampshire side of the proposed
addition back four feet.
MOVED by Shaffer, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to table the
variance requests listed above.

6808 Plymouth Avenue North (Map 15) (02-5-27)
Frederick Jones and Bonita Yurch, Applicants
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(1) Side Yard Setbacks
· 6.6 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 8.4 feet for the
existing home at its closest point to the east side yard property line.
Purpose: To bring the existing home into conformance with rear yard setback
requirements. This would allow a new home to be built on vacant lot
320.
Olson stated that the applicants own three separately platted lots and that their house
sits on two of them. He stated that the applicants would like to sell lot 320 so that a
new single family home could be built there. He stated that the City Attorney has said
that in order to build on vacant lot 320, the applicants would have to receive a variance
for the east side (lot 318) of the existing home and they would be required to remove
the enclosed deck on the west side of the home in order to restore a 15-foot setback on
that side of the home. McCracken-Hunt asked if the applicants have agreed to these
conditions. Olson stated that they have agreed.
.
Cera asked if the vacant lot is buildable and what the likelihood is that the Board will be
seeing variance requests for this lot in the future. McCracken-Hunt stated that a 35-foot
wide house would fit on that lot.
Sell asked if the Merger of Titles Ordinance had been repealed. McCracken-Hunt
stated that these are already separate lots and that the applicants are not proposing to
move any lot lines. Sell asked Olson to research the Merger of Titles Ordinance to
make sure that it is not still in effect.
Fred Jones, applicant stated that he has no intention of selling the vacant lot while he is
living there, but if he does decide to sell the property, he would like to be able to inform
potential buyers of whether they could or couldn't build a new home on vacant lot 320.
Olson told the applicant that approved variances become null and void one year after
they are granted. Shaffer stated that a new owner might find these lots more
marketable as one lot.
.
Ann Guntzel, 6809 Knoll Street read a letter written by her husband. She stated that
they strongly oppose granting this variance so that a house could be built on the vacant
50-foot lot. She told the Board not to allow two houses to be built on one tiny lot
because the homes in the area are large and to allow a small house would change the
character of the neighborhood. She added that the only person benefiting is the
applicant and no one else and that if this variance request were approved they would
consider moving. She stated she was also concerned about the merger of title
ordinance that Member Sell referred to.

Shaffer stated that the issue is not the applicant selling off the lot. The variance is
being requested for the existing home. He stated that if the applicant took the deck off
of the house they could sell the vacant lot anyway because it would be a legally
buildable lot. He stated he agrees that a house shouldn't be put on the vacant lot but
that the Board of Zoning Appeals couldn't stop that. Sell added that the Board could
not legally deny a variance request for something that is already on the property.
Jennifer Amundson, 6825 Knoll Street asked if building a small house on the vacant lot
would devalue her property. McCracken-Hunt stated she didn't know if it would or not.
Jones stated that a beautiful home could also be built on that lot.
Angie Ormsby, 6837 Knoll Street stated that if this variance request were granted it
might plant a seed in a new owners mind about building a house on the vacant lot. She
stated that she doesn't want the aesthetics changed at all.
Shaffer stated he didn't want to minimize the neighbors concerns, but the Board can
only look strictly at the Zoning Code issues and the issue the Board is dealing with is
the east side of the existing home which doesn't comply to setback requirements.
MOVED by Shaffer, seconded by Cera and motion carried unanimously to approve the
request for 6.6 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 8.4 feet for the existing
home at its closest point to the east side yard property line and not to grant any
variances for the deck on the west side of the home. However, if the applicant creates
a separate property to sell off then the deck is in non-compliance and must be removed
to comply with setback requirements.
Olson stated that this motion is subject to the City Attorney's approval.

· 34 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 1 foot for the proposed
parking lot at its closest point to the front yard property line along
Lewis Road.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a new parking lot on this property.

· The variance request is to reduce the size of the parking spaces from
the required 9 feet in width and 20 feet in depth to 9 feet in width and
18 feet in depth.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a new parking lot on this property.
Olson stated that these variance requests are for two existing buildings that abut each
other but are on two separate Jots. He stated that the applicant is proposing to
construct a new parking lot on this property which would require variances from setback
requirements and that the existing buildings also requires several variances. He stated
that the applicant has had a difficult time marketing these buildings because there isn't
enough parking on the site.
Olson stated the there was a code analysis done on the buildings and that the only
requirement was that the applicant had to have a 2 hour firewall between the buildings
and that requirement has been met. He discussed Engineering Department's request
for curb and gutter, grading, drainage and erosion control and explained that if the
disturbed area was over a half an acre the site would need water quality ponding.
.
Olson discussed the variances previously approved for this property and stated that
they would become null and void if the current variance requests are approved.
Shaffer asked if there was proof of parking. Olson stated no and that all the parking
spaces are being built because the current parking is not adequate for the site. Cera
asked how many parking spaces already exist and how many they would need. Olson
stated that they would need 32 parking spaces for the 955-957 building and 22 spaces
for the 955 building and that they are adding more spaces than what is required.
Olson explained that these variance requests were triggered by a request for a
conditional use permit at this site, which would require 38 spaces. In addition there still
needs to be spaces for the other uses in the buildings. McCracken-Hunt asked if the
City typically allows shared parking. Olson stated that property within 500 feet could be
used for parking.
Bob Venne stated that he and his partner, Dennis Brady have been tenants or owners
of the building since the beginning. He stated that 4,000 square feet recently became
available for lease and all of the potential lessees have said there isn't enough parking.
He discussed some of the improvements he would like to make to the site. Sell asked if
there is a door on the Winnetka side of building 955. Venne stated that there is a door
there that employees use.
.
Shaffer asked if it would make more sense to combine the two buildings. Olson stated
that the property would then have to be replatted and there would be a number of
variances needed from the subdivision code.

.
Shaffer stated he is concerned that if the 925 building were sold the parking variance
requests wouldn't matter. Venne stated that his intent would be to not sell the 925
building without the 955-957 building. He stated that his realtor has suggested he have
parking agreements with the tenants. McCracken-Hunt asked Venne if he has pursued
parking agreements with any of the adjacent property owners. Venne stated that he
has approached McKesson and that they don't want to talk and that the property to
south has a worse parking situation than he does.
Shaffer stated that the proposed parking plan would work for what is there now and
asked if a condition could be added to say if one of the properties were sold the parking
wouldn't work. Olson stated that the conditional use could have a condition that if the
property is sold, the tenant could be made to move out or work out the parking
situation. Venne stated that the conditional use applicant was told two days before the
Planning Commission meeting that they would need to have 17 more parking spaces
and that is why he is requesting these variances now. He added that any potential
tenant is going to need to have more parking spaces than what it there now.
Shaffer asked how much space was taken when Winnetka Avenue was redone. Brady
stated that 17 feet was taken from the Winnetka side and that there was more taken
because of the corner cut.
. For 925 Winnetka Avenue North:
MOVED by Shaffer, seconded by Sell and motion carried unanimously to approve the
request for 20 feet off the required 20 feet to a distance of 0 feet for the existing
building at its closest point to the north side yard property line and 33 feet off the
required 35 feet to a distance of 2 feet for the proposed parking lot at its closest point to
the front yard property line along Lewis Road.
For 955 -957 Winnetka Avenue North:
MOVED by Shaffer, seconded by Sell and motion carried unanimously to approve the
following requests
· 21 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 14 feet for the existing building at its
closest point to the front yard property line Winnetka Avenue North.
· 15 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 20 feet for the existing building at its
closest point to the front yard property line 10th Avenue North.
· 20 feet off the required 20 feet to a distance of 0 feet for the existing building at its
closest point to the south side yard property line.
· 34 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 1 foot for the proposed parking lot at
its closest point to the front yard property line along Lewis Road.

III. Other Business
McCracken-Hunt asked if there is a timeline for contractors to get a project done.
Olson stated that as long as the contractor is making progress there is no timeline, and
that once the building permit has been issued the applicant has one year to start the
project.

Memorandum
Planning
763-593-8095/763-593-8109 (fax)
To:
Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
From:
Dan Olson, City Planner
Subject:
8160 Wesley Drive (Map 20) (02-6-29)
Steve Susich, Applicant
Date:
June 19, 2002
Steve Susich, with property located at 8160 Wesley Drive, is requesting a variance from the
Residential zoning. code (Section 11.21). The applicant has approached the City to build a
garage addition to the existing home. This addition conforms to the building setback
requirements. However, during the construction planning process, a survey was submitted
for the property and it was discovered that the existing home does not meet setback
requirements. City Staff has allowed the applicants to sign off on a "Hold Harmless" form in
order to receive a building permit for the remodeling project. This was done only after the
applicant had submitted the required survey and application materials. The Hold Harmless
form is attached.
· The requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(1) Side Yard Setbacks. City
Code states that the distance between any part of a dwelling or structure and the side lot
lines shall be governed by the following requirements: In the case of lots having a width of
more than 100 feet, the side yard setback shall be 15 feet. The requested variance is for
1.4 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 13.6 feet at it closest point to the west side
yard property line for the existing home.
The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in October of 1955 for the
construction of the home. No other pertinent information was found in the file.

HEARING NOTICE
Board of Zonina Appeals
8160 Wesley Drive
Steve Susich, Applicant
Steve Susich, with property located at 8160 Wesley Drive, has petitioned
the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance from the
Residential zoning district. The applicant is proposing to build a garage
addition onto east side of the existing home. This proposed garage
addition meets building setback requirements. However, during the
construction planning process, a survey was submitted for the property
and it was discovered that the existing home does not meet building
setback requirements. Below is the requested variance:
. Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(1) Side Yard Setbacks. City Code

Subject:
1801 Independence Avenue North (Map 20) (02-6-30)
Sandra Gunderson, Applicant
Date:
June 19, 2002
Sandra Gunderson, with property located at 1801 Independence Avenue North, is requesting
variances from the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicant has approached
the City to build a deck addition to the existing home. This addition conforms to the building
setback requirements. However, during the construction planning process, a survey was
submitted for the property and it was discovered that the existing home does not meet
setback requirements. City Staff has allowed the applicant to sign off on a "Hold Harmless"
form in order to receive a building permit for the remodeling project. This was done only after
the applicant had submitted the required survey and application materials. The Hold
Harmless form is attached.
. The first requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback.
City Code states that the front yard setback shall be 35 feet from the front yard property
line. The variance requested is for 8.4 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 26.6
feet at its closest point to the front property line along Independence Avenue North for the
existing home.
. The second requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(3) Side Yard
Setbacks. City Code states that the distance between any part of a dwelling or structure
and the side lot lines shall be governed by the following requirements: In the case of lots
having a width of less than 70 feet, the north side yard setback shall be 10% of the lot
width. The requested variance is for 2 feet off the required 6 feet to a distance of 4 feet at
it closest point to the north side yard property line for the existing home.
The City's file on this property does not contain the original building permit for the home, but
Hennepin County's property record system states that the home was constructed in 1925.
No other pertinent information was found in the file.

Subject:
4925 Bassett Creek Drive (Map 5) (02-6-32)
Karen Miller and Alice Ottavi, Applicants
Date:
June 19, 2002
Karen Miller and Alice Ottavi, with property located at 4925 Bassett Creek Drive, are
requesting variances from both the the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21) and the
Shoreland Management Ordinance (Section 11.65). The applicants have approached the
City to build a porch addition to the existing home. This addition does not meet the building
setback requirements from Bassett Creek. Also, during the construction planning process, a
survey was submitted for the property and it was discovered that the existing home does not
meet building setback requirements for the Residential zoning code and for Bassett Creek.
Below are the requested variances:
. The first requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(1) Side Yard
Setback. City Code states that the distance between any part of a dwelling or
structure and the side lot lines shall be governed by the following requirements: In the
case of lots having a width greater than 100 feet, the side yard setback shall be 15
feet. The requested variance is for .03 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of
14.97 feet at it closest point to the west side yard property line for the existing home.
. The second requested variance is from Section 11.65, Subd. 5(A) Standards. City
Code states that the distance between any part of a dwelling or structure and the
Ordinary High Water Mark (top of creek bank) for Bassett Creek shall be governed by
the following requirements: All structures shall be setback 50 feet from the Ordinary
High Water Mark. The requested variances are for 16 feet off the required 50 feet to a
distance of 34 feet from the existing house at its closest point to the top of the creek
bank and for 10 feet off the required 50 feet to a distance of 40 feet from the proposed
porch at its closest point to the top of the creek bank.
Attached for your review are the comments of Mr. Tom Hovey of the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) on this proposal. The City's Engineering and Planning
Departments are in agreement with Mr. Hovey's suggestion that the proposed porch be no
closer to Bassett Creek than the two adjacent properties. This would mean requiring the
proposed porch to be set back about 2 more feet from Bassett Creek.
The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in April of 1959 for the
construction of the home. No other pertinent information was found in the file.

RE: Karen Miller Structure Setback Variance Request, Bassett Creek, City of Golden Valley,
Hennepin County
Dear Mr. Olson:
I have reviewed the information you sent relative to the structure setback variance request at
4925 Bassett Creek Drive and have the following comments:
.
I have concerns about constructing the covered porch only 40 feet from the top of the bank. This
doesn't allow much room if the channel starts moving to the north or getting wider.
My other concern is that the porch doesn't encroach closer than the average of the adjacent two
houses or closer than the "string" test, whichever is appropriate. Sight lines of the adjacent
neighbors shouldn't be compromised, especially if the house already encroaches into the required
setback.
I did not get a chance to visit the site in person. If there are extenuating circumstances that
support a variance, and the City is inclined to grant one, I request that a condition be added to the
variance that require.s a buffer be maintained ~r established. within at ieastl 0 feet oftb.e top of
the stream bank. The buffer should not be mowed, and should maintained in a relatively natural
condition.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please feel free to call if you have questions.

Subject:

Quinn and Daon Karpan, Applicants
Date:
June 19, 2002
.
Quinn and Daon Karpan, with property located at 1400 Natchez Avenue South, are
requesting variances from the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicants have
approached the City to build a room and entryway addition to the existing home. These
additions do not building setback requirements. Also, during the construction planning
process, a survey was submitted for the property and it was discovered that the existing
home does not meet setback requirements. Below are the requested variances:
· The first requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback.
City Code states that the front yard setback shall be 35 feet from the front yard property
line. The variance requested is for 16.8 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 18.2
feet at its closest point to the front property line along Natchez Avenue South for the
existing home.
· The second requested variance is Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(2) Side Yard Setback. City
Code states that the distance between any part of a dwelling or structure and the side lot
lines shall be governed by the following requirements: In the case of lots having a width
greater than 70 feet and less than 100 feet, the side yard setback shall be 15% of the lot
width. The requested variance is for .2 feet off the required 12.6 feet to a distance of 12.4
feet at it closest point to the west side yard property line for the proposed room addition.
.
· The third requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(8) Rear Yard Setback.
City Code states the required rear setback shall be 20 percent of the lot depth. Staff has
determined that the rear setback to be 26.4 feet from the property line to the existing
greenhouse. The requested variance is for 19.7 feet off the required 26.4 feet to a
distance of 6.7 feet at its closest point to the rear yard property line for the existing
greenhouse. For the proposed home entryway, staff has determined that the rear
setback to be 28.8 feet from the property line to the proposed entryway. The requested
variance is for 15.4 feet off the required 28.8 feet to a distance of 13.4 feet at its closest
point to the rear yard property line for the proposed entryway. For the proposed home,
staff has determined that the rear setback to be 30.6 feet from the property line to the
eastern corner of the existing home. The requested variance is for 4.9 feet off the
.
.
.
required 30.6 feet to a distance of 25.7 feet at its closest point to the rear yard property
line for the eastern corner of the existing home.
. The fourth requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd.12 (A) Accessory
Buildings. City Code states that the shed shall be located completely to the rear of
the existing home, and shall be at least 35 feet from any lot line which is also a street
line. The property owner is requesting variances for the shed to be built to the front
side of the existing home at a distance of 9.7 feet from the side yard property line
along Natchez Avenue South rather than the required 35 feet. The applicant is also
requesting to have the shed to the north of the existing home, rather than behind the
home.
The City's file on this property does not contain the original building permit for the home, but
Hennepin County's property record system states that the existing home was constructed in
1920 as a barn for a farmstead. The building was converted to a home in 1977. No other
pertinent information was found in the file.

. Waiver reauest for 1400 Natchez Ave S.
This home was converted from an out-barn structure (originally constructed in
1920) into a home in 1977. Overall our plans are to try to retain as much
integrity as possible to the historical aspects and appearances of the original
structure. Our current finished square feet in this home is under 1800. These
changes will allow us to have approx. 740 additional square feet.
Request 1: Conversion of existing front green house structure into 4 season
porch.
Reason: Existing structure is not properly climate controlled and is no longer
weather tight. Request is make it secure useable space.
Request 2: Conversion of existing 2nd level cantilever deck into open lower level
porch entry for the homes front doorway.
Reason: Existing deck is no longer stable due to decay of wood and open deck
boards cause entry to the home to be subject to weather conditions (i.e. rain).
Request is to convert the distance the current deck extends into the property
into an open porch to be used as the homes front entry way.
.
Request 3: Approve addition of new 12x26 space to be used to expand size of
existing living spaces.
Hardship: Due to the fact that this is a corner lot and the original building was
constructed long before city set back requirements were in place, we are
somewhat land locked. The continuation of addition to the southwest corner of
the existing home will require additional non-compliance to what is considered
the properties rear set back line. (Based on the way the home was constructed,
it is considered to be the front and primary entrance to the home.) The goal of
the west side of the addition is to stay within the side set back requirements,
however, due to the fact that the lot line is at an angle and the home is not, we
would like to make the outside construction of the new space equal 12 feet. This
may mean we are inches over the side set back at the northwest corner of the
west side addition.
Request 4: "Grandfather" waiver approval for where the existing home is
already over the current set back guidelines.

HEARING NOTICE
Board of Zonina Appeals
1400 Natchez Avenue South
Quinn and Daon Kaplan. Applicants
Quinn and Daon Kaplan, with property located at 1400 Natchez Avenue
South, have petitioned the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals for
variances from the Residential zoning district. The applicants are
proposing to build a room and entryway addition onto the existing home.
These proposed additions do not meet building setback requirements.
Also, during the construction planning process, a survey was submitted
for the property and it was discovered that the existing home and shed
do not meet building setback requirements. Below are the requested
variances:
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7 (A) Front Yard Setback. City Code
states that the front yard setback shall be 35 feet from the front
yard property line. The variance requested is for 16.8 feet off the
required 35 feet to a distance of 18.2 feet at its closest point to
the front property line along Natchez Avenue South for the
existing home.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(2) Side Yard Setback. City Code
states that the distance between any part of a dwelling or
structure and the side lot lines shall be governed by the following
requirements: In the case of lots having a width greater than 70
feet and less than 100 feet, the side yard setback shall be 15% of
the lot width. The requested variance is for .2 feet off the required
12.6 feet to a distance of 12.4 feet at it closest point to the west
side yard property line for the proposed room addition.
· Section 11.21, Subd. 7(B) Rear Yard Setback. City Code states
the required rear setback shall be 20 percent of the lot depth.
Staff has determined that the rear setback to be 26.4 feet from

.
Erich Wisiol, with property located at 115 Ardmore Drive, is requesting variances from the
Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicant has approached the City to build a
room and room addition to the existing home. This addition does not meet building setback
requirements. Also, during the construction planning process, a survey was submitted for the
property and it was discovered that the existing home does not meet setback requirements.
Below are the requested variances:
· The first requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7{A) Front Yard Setback.
City Code states that the front yard setback shall be 35 feet from the front yard property
line. The variance requested is for .6 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 34.4 feet
at its closest point to the front property line along Ardmore Drive for the existing home.
· The second requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(C)(1) Side Yard
Setbacks. City Code states that the distance between any part of a dwelling or structure
and the side lot lines shall be governed by the following requirements: In the case of lots
having a width of more than 100 feet, the side yard setback shall be 15 feet. The
requested variance is for 11.2 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 3.8 feet at it
closest point to the north side yard property line for the proposed room addition.
According to the applicant, the room addition would be built between the existing double car
garage and the existing living space of the home (the garages would be moved toward the
north property line). The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in
September of 1951 for the construction of the home. No other pertinent information was
found in the file.
