Staff Liaison, stated that the use, as far as zoning, is permitted. According to the square footage, they n 2 parking spaces. When the satellite farm is installed it will be set in the parking lot, taking up parking spaces, at the same time they are adding more parking spaces in another area, so the total is 180 parking spaces, so they need a variance for the difference. McCracken-Hunt questioned whether the amount of parking appears sufficient to accommodate this use. Chair Lang asked the proponent to present the proposal. . Neal Blanchett, Attorney for Everest, stated the site currently has 146 parkil)g spaces, so Everest would be adding parking spaces and reconfiguring some parts of the site. They estimate that their parking needs will be much lower than 180. They are using this facility for repairing items, and warehouse space they don't anticipate filling the office space. They're upgrading the " Minutes of the Board of Zoning Appeals January 23, 2001 Page 2 site in the event that there is a future user, but they don't expect that they'll even need the 180 spaces. . Chair Lang asked Blanchett how Everest would staff this facility.

Sell o park their trucks inside of the building Blanchett stated he believed the trucks would be parked inside the building, but that this is not an everyday maintenance facility, it's to store the cable and hardware that they need in order to build their network. Shaffer stated he looked at this building from two different perspectives. One is the existing building and one is what the building might be and even if the building changed hands someday they could change this area back into a parking lot. Even with the existing plan there is more . space in the parking lot where they could put more parking spaces. Swedberg asked about the difficulty involved in removing the satellite dishes in the future. Blanchett stated there is no undue difficulty in removing the dishes. ;' Minutes of the Board of Zoning Appeals January 23, 2001 Page 3 . Swedberg asked if there are footings that would have to be removed or if any excavating would need to be done if the satellite dishes were to be removed.

Part of the deck that will go three feet into the setback, therefore requiring a a permit for the addition, but the deck will require a separate permit s deck was part of the original plan when they designed the addition. Lee Glover stated that the deck was on the original plans. They were told by the City, they would need a variance to put the deck on. The applicant wanted to proceed with the addition, so they removed the deck from the application for the original permit. Glover wanted to clarify that the deck could go four feet out and that the 3-foot variance would allow that. McCracken-Hunt clarified that the setback for the house already has one foot more than it needs to have from what's required and that is why the variance is only three feet, which would allow the four-foot deck. . Jack Glover stated that since this deck was not put on at the time of the original addition, the deck would now need footings and posts.

Mark and Carol Weitz, with property located at 1120 Wills Place, are requesting three variances from the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicants had approached the City to build an addition on their existing home. This addition will conform to all setback requirements for the Residential zoning district. However, during the construction planning process, a survey was submitted for the property and it was discovered that the existing home does not meet current front and side yard setbacks. City Staffhas allowed the applicants to sign off on a "Hold Harmless" form in order to receive a building permit for the addition. 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 the front setback shall be 35 feet from the front yard property line.

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 100 feet or greater, the side setback shall be 15 feet. The requested variance is for .5 foot offthe required 15 feet to a distance of 14.5 feet on both the north and south sides ofthe home.

The applicant had approached the City to construct a deck onto the rear of the existing home. This deck will conform to all setback requirements for the Residential zoning district. However, during the construction planning process, a survey was submitted for the property and it Was discovered that the existing home does not meet the front yard setback of 35 feet. In addition, the applicant is asking for variances to construct an accessory building in front of the home. These construction projects require the following variances. . The first requested variances are from Section 11.21, Subd. 7(A) Front Yard Setback. City Code states the front setback shall be 35 feet from the front yard property line. The variance request for the home is for 1.4 feet off the required 35 feet to a distance of 33.6 feet to the front property line along Kelly Drive. . The next requested variances are from Section 11.21, Subd. 12 (A) Accessory Buildings. City Code states that the accessory building be located wholly to the rear of the home, be located at least 10 feet from the home, and be located at least 5 feet from any lot boundary. The property owner is requesting a variance for an accessory building to be constructed in front of the existing home at a distance of 9.1 feet from the home. You may notice from the property survey that a fence has been built that infringes on city-owned property. According to the City Engineer, the applicant should sign a Right-of Way Permit which would require the applicant to remove or pay for the removal of the fence if city staff deems this necessary. Staff recommends that the Board make the signing of this Permit a condition for the approval of these variances. The City's file on this property reveals that a permit was pulled in September of 1967 for the construction of the house. No other pertinent information was found in the file. No other variance requests have been approved for this property. ~~. ~;:;I M ;. :: "'''e. LI~Il! t.. ~ ~?&f]S . ~ ~ .... - ~ .Q - ~ ~.... It) = It) 5 ~.... NQ. ..

Print Name Comment Signature Address . Supporting Statement for Variance Request Made by George Patrick and Irene Callista Abide Residents of2155 N. Kelly Dr., Golden Valley February, 2001 . This request for variance concerns the construction of a storage building on the side of our residence located at 2155 N. Kelly Drive in Golden Valley. Circumstances leading to the request for variance are as follows: The property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, which is bordered on the Northeast by the Canada Pacific Railway line. Across the railroad tracks is an area zoned for heavy industry. We seek to construct a building that would provide an attractive visual and sound screen between the residential area and the industrial area. The space between the home and the railroad easement is limited, and in order to site the structure here a variance would be required. The storage building is to be a custom built structure designed to blend in with and compliment the design of the existing home. It is our intention to have the building be more visually attractive than the view that it is screening. Building dimensions would be 20 feet by 4 ~ feet. The attached photographs show the proposed site and the view we are seeking to screen with this structure. . . . ,,1;,__~n~~~ .
