Olson reminded the Board that this same request was tabled at the May 29, 2002
Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. He referred to the survey and stated that the
applicant would like to withdraw the portion of his request dealing with the 2-story room
and garage addition, but would still like to go forward with the variance requests for the
existing home. Olson stated that he recommends approval for the existing home
variance requests and denial for the proposed addition requests because the applicant
is planning on changing his plans for the addition.

Olson stated that the applicant is proposing to replace a wooden deck on the front of
his home and that it was unclear why a variance was not required for the deck
originally. He stated that the request for 4.1 feet off the required 3 t to a distance of
30.9 feet was incorrect on his memo and was obtained by meas top portion of
the deck. He stated that the correct number is 26.2 feet at its p' to the front
yard for the proposed deck. He stated that the applicant w Ing any closer
to the property line than the existing deck already does. he had left
messages with all of the neighbors informing them of th e variance

.
Olson stated that the applicant would like to build a room addition on the rear of his
existing home. He stated that this property is really two lots, but that they are being
treated as one. Olson stated that the survey done for this request shows the neighbor's
home to the east not meeting the five-foot setback requirement. McCracken-Hunt
stated that the discrepancy in the two surveys is not relevant to this variance request.
She asked if the proposed addition were to be 15 feet from the east side property line if
it would then be a variance request just for the existing home. Olson stated that the
existing garage would still require a variance. He added that he wasn't sure if the
proposed addition was going to be one story or two.

Jeffrey Polinchock, applicant explained that the reason the two surveys are different is
because a retaining wall was constructed after the first survey was done sothe first
survey was measured from the corner of the house and the second survey was
measured from the edge of the new retaining wall. He stated that he would be willing to
move the addition back so it would meet the 15-foot side yard setback requirement and
that he would move the garage to forego the variances being requested for the garage

Sell stated that he didn't think the applicant should be penalized for sitting on two lots
and that in his opinion the side yard setback requirements should be based on 50 feet
because it is two lots. Olson stated that there is an ordinance that says if the lot is
being used as one lot it should follow the setback requirements for one lot. Sell asked
how the neighbor got a permit to build their house and stated that building that house is
what put the applicant's house into nonconformance. Olson stated he agreed and that
it was unclear from the City's files as to why a home was built on that lot. Sell
suggested getting the city attorney's opinion. Olson stated he believes it is mute point
because the two lots are being treated as one. Sell stated that people aren't allowed to
zone someone into a nonconforming situation like this one.

Olson stated that the applicant has stated he would be willing to tear down the garage,

but questioned if parking on the street was permitted there would be enough parking on

was permitted on the street there or not. Smith stated that it would be nice to get rid of

From:
Dan Olson, City Planner
Subject:
4321 Avondale Road (02-8-48)
Ron Engen, Applicant
Date:
August 21,2002
Ron Engen of Paragon Builders, representing Isaac Felemovicius, with property located at
4321 Avondale Road, is requesting variances from the Residential zoning code (Section
11.21). . The applicants have approached the City to build deck and mud room additions to
the existing home. These additions require variances from the 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. The following 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 variances requested are for 7.2 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 27.8
feet at its closest point to the front yard property line along Douglas Avenue for the
existing home; for 6.6 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 28.4 feet at its closest
point to the front yard property line along Douglas Avenue for the proposed mud room
addition; and for 6.1 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 28.9 feet at its closest
point to the front yard property line along Douglas Avenue for the proposed deck addition.
. The second 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, the side yard setback shall be 15 feet. The requested
variance is for .3 feet off the required 15 feet to a distance of 14.7 feet at it closest point to
the west side yard property line for the existing home.
Previously, property owners had received variances for this property. In May of 1970, the
property owner received a variance to reduce the 35 foot setback requirement. along
Avondale Road to 33 feet for a proposed porch addition. The minutes from that meeting. are
attached for your review.
In July of 1997, the property owners received a variance to reduce the 35 foot setback
requirement along Douglas Avenue to 28 feet for a proposed kitchen addition. The minutes
.
.
.
from that meeting are attached for your review. According to a recent survey dated July 31,
2002, this addition was actually built to a distance of 27.8 feet to the property line along
Douglas Avenue. The current above variance requests include this kitchen addition.
The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in June of 1970 for the
construction of the home. No other pertinent information was found in the file.

Isaac and Sandra Felemovicius
Request: Waiver of Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback _- 7 feet off
the required 35 feet to a distance of 28 feet for a proposed kitchen
addition facing Douglas Drive.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a non-conforming addition onto the
existing house.
Isaac and Sandra Felemovicius were in attendance.
Grimes explained that this is a triangular shaped lot with frontage on two streets. The
house was built in 1970 and designed to fit exactly on the lot. Grimes said that the
applications wish to expand the kitchen area and there is no where to go without a
variance. The applicants have provided considerable information and plans.
.
Sandra Felemovicius explained that the kitchen is too small for their family to all sit
together at meal time and need the additional space. She noted that the kitchen is next to
the garage and there isn't any other location to expand except into the setback.
Swedberg asked how long they have lived there and Mrs. Felemovicius answered four
years. She added that they would like to stay in their existing home but require more
space to do so.
Sell asked if this request is an adequate addition. The applicant answered yes. Sell asked
why they decided on 20 feet when that dimension does not involve the setback. Mrs.
Felemovicius said that they would use the 20 foot space between a cantilever and .a patio
door which will square off the structure. She added that they planned carefully to take no
yard space.
Shaffer stated that this request would not impose on the neighbors.
Swedberg asked, to architects in general, if the small size of the kitchen was a design flaw
and Shaffer answered yes. Swedberg continued that since it is a design flaw he would
look favorably on the request. He added that this request is neither invasive nor
destructive to the neighborhood.
MOVED by Swedberg, seconded by Polachek and motion carried unanimously to .approve
the variances as requested.

416 Burntside Drive (02-8-49)
Robert and Darcie Rossborough, Applicants
Date:
August 21,2002
Robert and Darcie Rossborough, with property located at 416 Burntside Drive, are requesting
variances from the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicants have
approached the City to build a shed to the south of the existing home. This shed requires
variances from accessory building requirements. The following are the requested variances:
· The requested variance is from Section 11.21, Subd. 12 (A) Accessory Buildings. City
Code states that a shed shall be at least 5 feet any side or rear yard lot line and be
located completely behind the principal structure. The property owner is requesting. a
variance for the shed to be located at a distance of 3 feet from the rear yard property line
rather than the required 5 feet and to be located on the south side of the property.
Previously, property owners had received variances for this property. In August of 1990, the
property owners received variances to reduce the 15 foot west side yard setback requirement
to 12.3 feet for the existing home and to 10 feet for a proposed deck. The minutes from that
meeting are attached for your review.
The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in August of 1955 for the
construction of the home. No other pertinent information was found in the file.

The Petition is for waiver of Section:
11.21 Subd. 7 (C)l
side setback, for 2.7 feet off the required
15.0 feet side setback to a setback from
the east lot line of 12.3 feet as the house
now exists, and for the deck as it now
exi sts at 10 feet at its closest corner.
The petition was in order. Consent obtained from all adjacent properties.
The property owner was out of town and was represented by his contractor,
Mr. Noonan. Chairman Sell noted the "homework" the property owners had done
in explaining their non-conforming status, their meetings with adjacent pro-
perty owners and letter description sent to all of them. Mr. Noonan noted
that the addition is upward on the structure; however, as a result of a
recent survey of the property, an original error in the side setback was
discovered and the purpose of the waiver request is to correct that status.
Larry Smith noted this is a very straight-forward proposal similar to others
the Board has addressed over the years where an error has been made a t the
time of construction. Smith also noted this is a corner lot with unusual
lot line configuration as it relates to Burntside Drive and Woodstock Avenue
which could very easily have resulted in an error during layout.
Herb Polachek noted the waiver is only for the southwest corner of the house
at its closest point, at the front it exceeds the required setback.
Larry Sm; th moved to approve the waiver as requested, second by Herb
Polachek and upon vote carried.

Re: Petition for Ordinance Waiver (Variance Application) for 449 Meadow Lane, Golden Valley.
1, Mark D. Ewald, acting agent representing homeowners Tara Mucha (daughter, resident co-owner) and
Joe Mucha (father, non-resident co-owner), 449 Meadow Lane, Golden Valley, MN, am applying in their
behalf for a variance of zoning regulations, in regards to proposed improvements on this property.
Item 1.)
The proposed side-yard setback will be 10' from property line. A detached garage is allowed to be 5' from
the property line, but an attached structure (once breezeway is added) is required to be 15' from property
line. This seems arbitrary and inconsistent. The property is a corner triple lot that has access for fire
equipment and personnel from more than one side.
The adjacent neighboring property, built in the 1930's, was located incorrectly, and infringed on the
property line by several feet. After a sale ofland was arranged to allow that house to remain, the new
property line which resulted remains 7' from the adjacent house,' not meeting current Code requirements,
though it is currently "Grand-fathered in".
Item 2.)
The attached garage is supposed to be to the rear of the house. The existing and proposed location (same)
may not meet the definition of a rear location. The house actually faces Meadow Lane, has its front door
facing Meadow Lane, and has a Meadow Lane address (449 Meadow Lane). Because it is a corner lot, the
driveway access comes from Woodstock, allowing access to the rear of the house, and allowing a bigger
yard as a result. In order for the south side of the house to be interpreted as the "rear", the house would
have to be turned 90 degrees and face Woodstock (to the north). The house and garage, however, woul<i
not fit in this orientation, as it would be too wide, so the driveway access would have to be moved to
Meadow Lane. Pushing the proposed garage farther to the south would accomplish what is needed to meet
the zoning requirement, but this would make a connecting breezeway impossible.
.
.
.
......
Item 3.)
. In a more perfect world, it would be nice to have a driveway access to the front of the house, so that guests
might approach the house from its proper orientation -- without having to go through the rear door of the
house, or through the .kitchen in order to get to the living room. An auxiliary driveway would fix this
problem and would create a place for off-street parking when needed by company, as well as a place for
people to turn around. My understanding is that the city would like to do away with this type of feature
with-in Golden Valley whenever possible, but there is ample precedence for them. There are two of them
already on Meadow Lane, as per the photos submitted (see pictures). While this may be against current
policy or popularity, the lot is certainly large enough to accommodate this feature being added, and would
"class up" the neighborhood to a certain extent. The neighborhood supports a wide variety of homes in style
and price range, and could use all the improvements it can get.
Respectfully submitted,
~{jf:J/

To: Board of Zoning Appeals, City of Golden Valley, MN
From: Kurt Templin, Fine Design Contracting, Inc. Plymouth, MN
RE: Zoning Code Setback Waiver for Julie Hanley, Property Owner
1532 Mendelssohn Ave., Golden Valley
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am requesting a waiver of the setback requirement ordinance #642 dated 11-16-84 for the. purpose of
building an attached garage to my clients home at 1532 Mendelssohn Avenue. Currently they have only
driveway parking available at the front of their home which faces Highway 169. Due to the fact that they
have a comer lot the setback requirement for their proposed garage is 35 feet, which is over half the
width of their total lot size.
.
The proposed garage would benefit the Hanleys personally in that they would no longer have to walk
over icy sidewalks to get to their cars in the winter, and of course there is the issue of their cars being
able to start after being left outside all night in the frigid elements. Of course the garage would increase
the market value of not just the Hanleys home but I believe the entire neighborhood as well.
Please note that there are 3 affected neighbors who have signed and are cordial with this garage addition.
There is no neighbor across the street to the west, as there is Highway 169 across the street of
Mendelssohn Avenue from the Hanleys.
Please review the attached survey, photograph, and building plans and allow a waiver for this much
needed garage.
Most Cordially,

THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE SUBMITTED WITH THIS VARIANCE APPLICATION TO
DESCRIBE THE CONDITIONS THAT EXIST AND WILL EXIST AS A RESULT OF THIS REMODELING
PROJECT.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:
THE FRONT YARD SETBACK AND SIDE YARD SETBACK IS CURRENTLY NON-cONFORMING TO
TODAY'S ORDINANCE SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN THE 1940's TO THE THEN CURRENT
ORDINANCE. THE SET BACK IS, HOWEVER, CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE OTHER HOUSES IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
.
REASONS FOR GRANTING REQUEST FOR VARIANCE:
THE OWNERS FEEL THAT THIS IS A 'REASONABLE REQUEST BECAUSE:
· THE OWNERS LIKE AND ENJOY THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND CITY BUT HAVE A NEED TO
MAKE THE HOME MORE LIVABLE FOR THEIR NEEDS FOR NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.
· THE REMODELING PROJECT WILL ADD CHARACTER AND ESTHETICS WHILE NOT
CREATING CONFLICT WITH THE OTHER HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
· THE OWNERS ARE TAKING THE EXTRA EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HOME HAS
ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER AND APPEAL.
· THE PROJECT PRESENTS ADDITIONS TO THE HOME, WHICH ARE BOTH FUNCTIONAL AND
MEANT TO ENHANCE THE LIVABILITY OF THIS HOME.
· ALL OF THE ELEMENTS OF THIS PROJECT REPRESENT REASONABLE REQUESTS FOR
ENHANCING AN EXISTING HOME.
· THE HOME, EVEN WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGES, WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
INTENT OF THE ORDNANCES THAT WERE CURRENT WHEN THE HOME WAS ORIGINALLY
BUILT.

Sidney Meyers, with property located at 5015 St. Croix Avenue, is requesting variances from
the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicant has approached the City to build
a garage and second story addition to the existing home. These additions require variances
from the 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. The following 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

To Whom It May Concern:
RE: Variance request for 5015 St. Croix Ave
The request for variance on this property is twofold, the existing west side of the house is
inside the 15' setback and we would like to expand the existing garage. My wife Dana
and I have lived in this residence for over 13 years and we both enjoy the neighborhood
and community. In January 2003 we will have our fifth child and up to this point had
been able to put off our decision to move or add-on. We enjoy Golden Valley and the
ease of commute provided by being so centrally located and have decided we would
rather build a new addition instead of moving.
Sincerely,
~ey~

James Brereton, with property located at 1209 Pennsylvania 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

"HOLD HARMLESS'
I, James P. Brereton, am requesting the City of Golden
Valley to allow me to proceed with a(n) deck onto
my house. I understand that my existing structure is nonconforming and that
I will proceed to the next Board of Zoning Appeals meeting to request a
variance(s) for this nonconformity.
At this time I submit this "Hold Harmless" letter which would allow me
to proceed with my construction plans. I understand that if the variance is
not granted I will discontinue what I am doing and put the land back to its
original state with no fault to the City of Golden Valley.

Richard Baker, with property located at 224 Janalyn Circle, is requesting variances from the
Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicant has approached the City to build a
deck addition to the rear of 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 and attached deck do 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 5 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 30 feet at
its closest point to the front yard property line along Janalyn Circle for the existing home.
. The second requested variance is from 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 1.2 feet off the required 12.6 feet to a
distance of 11.4 feet at it closest point to the east side yard property line for the existing
home and for 7.2 feet off the required 12.6 feet to a distance of 5.4 feet at it closest point
to the east side yard property line for the existing deck.
The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in March of 1962 for the
construction of the home. No other pertinent information was found in the file.

HEARING NOTICE
Board of Zonina Appeals
224 Janalyn Circle
Richard Baker, Applicant
Richard Baker, with property located at 224 Janalyn Circle, has
petitioned the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals for variances from
the Residential zoning district. The applicant is proposing to construct a
new deck attached to the rear of the existing home. This deck meets
building setback requirements. However, a survey was submitted for
this building project and it was discovered that the existing home and
existing deck do not meeting building setback requirements. This
construction project requires variances from the following sections of City
Code.
. 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 5 feet off the
required 35 feet to a distance of 30 feet at its closest point to the
front yard property line along Janalyn Circle 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 1.2 feet off the
required 12.6 feet to a distance of 11.4 feet at it closest point to
the east side yard property line for the existing home and for 7.2
feet off the required 12.6 feet to a distance of 5.4 feet at it closest
point to the east side yard property line for the existing deck.
This petition will be heard at a regular meeting to be held Tuesday,
August 27,2002, beginning at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers, 7800
Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley, Minnesota. If you have any
questions or comments about this variance request, you may contact the
Planning Department at 763/593-8095.
Adjacent properties require notification.
