Mark Weitz, applicant, stated that the house was built in 1965. He referred to a copy of the 1965
survey, which showed the house had the proper setbacks at 35 feet and 15 feet so they never
realized anything was wrong. He stated that when they decided to build an addition on the back of
their home, and the builder came to get a permit, he was told he would need to get a survey and
that's when they discovered for the first time that they were .5 feet off the setbacks. He stated that
the addition is totally within code. They are just asking for a waiver for what's been the case since
1965.

MOVED by Shaffer, seconded by Hughes, and motion carried unanimously to approve the
variance request as stated above.

in addition to using this accessory building for storage, they're looking at also providing some

placing it in that location.

accessory building in the front it would be really noticeable. But in this case, it does provide some
additional screening and it's along the railroad tracks.

Grimes stated this is a unique cul-de-sac situation and there aren't homes all around it. But it

Shaffer state oncerns about the visual hardship because that's somewhat already been
addressed. He d he has a hard time going for the hardship issue, because it requires 3
variances for a shed. The City typically would never grant that. He stated the Board has to define
exactly what the hardships are, otherwise we're setting a bizarre precedent for the rest of the city.
He stated he can certainly see why they applicant would want to screen the industrial area, but
whether an accessory building is going to accomplish that or not, is another issue. The front yard
setback is an administrative matter, and can be taken care of very easily, but the shed is a difficult
one. We've had people tear down sheds because they are not to the rear of the house.
MOVED by Hughes, seconded by Shaffer and motion carried unanimously to approve the front

Shaffer stated he wanted to make sure that it's clear what we're doing and why we're doing it. He
stated the Board has never dealt with the hardship of a view before.

Subject:
4505 Heathbrooke Circle (Map 5) (01-4-5)
Ivan and Karen Brodsky, Applicants
Date:
April 18, 2001
Ivan and Karen Brodsky, with property located at 4505 Heathbrooke Circle, are requesting a variance
from the Residential zoning code (Section 11.21). The applicants have approached the City to build a
room addition onto the west side of the existing home. The building of this addition requires a
variance from the side yard setback requirements of the Zoning Code.
Previously, this property received two variances:
· In August of 1986, a variance was approved for this property to construct a room addition
to the east side of the existing home. The minutes from that meeting are attached for your
review. At that time, the applicant received a variance to build the room addition up to
26.4 feet to the east side property line along Major Drive. Since the property is a comer
lot, the requirement is for the building to be setback 35 feet from the property line.
· In August of 1987, a variance was approved for this property to construct a mansard roof
addition to the north side of the existing home. The minutes from that meeting are attached
for your review. At that time, the applicant received a variance to build the roof addition
up to 31.1 feet to the north side property line along Heathbrooke Circle. Since the property
is a comer lot, the requirement is for the building to be setback 35 feet from the property
line.
The current 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 100 feet or greater, the
side setback shall be 15 feet. The requested variance is for .33 feet off the required 15 feet to a
distance of 14.67 feet on the west side ofthe home.
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.

We are submitting this application to request a 3 foot set back variance on the west side of our
property. The purpose of this request is to allow for the construction of an expanded dining room. We
would also add a closet area at the same time, but that would fall within the set back requirement.
The enlarged length of the dining room would allow for a longer dining room table, which would then
be able to accommodate our growing extended family for holiday meals and celebrations. Currently we
are unable to do this in our small dining room.
The neighbor's house, which is adjacent, has a living room on that side with a window that is always
covered by drapes. When the addition is completed there will be appropriate landscaping as there is
currently.
We have lived at this location since 1973 and have twice remodeled and upgraded our property. We
would like to have the ability to further remode~ so our home would fully accommodate our family
holiday meals and celebrations, which are very important to us.

Mah on Swedberg expressed his concern for the proposed 24 foot width and the
serVl e door in front. Mahlon suggested reducing the width to 21 or 22 fe ,
noting his would reduce the side setback variance. During further disc sion,
it becam apparent that the existing side entry to the house and the s ps would
still be quired in the garage to maintain entry into the house. T service
door would ovide access to that entry without raising the entire arage door
each time. hlon Swedberg said this information changes his pr ous concerns
to the 24 foot idth as the steps protruding in the garage area educe useable
width for vehic s to 21 feet in the interior.
Noting the above an the large setback from Orkla Drive a the house now exists
and also the removal f the existing garage structure w ch is now non-
conforming, Mahlon Swe erg moved to approve the waiv as requested. Second

The petition was in order. Dr. Brodsky was present and submitted an additional
signature of consent from an adjacent neighbor who had been on vacation.
Dr. Brodsky described in detail his proposed addition of 10 feet toward Major
Drive and an addition to the rear of his home that fully conforms. This is a
corner lot that requires a 35 foot setback on two sides. The other homes adja~
cent face Major Drive. This home faces Heathbroo~Circle and the garage side
where the addition is proposed faces Major Drive. Dr. Brodsky said there is a
drainage way along the south side of his property that must be maintained
because in rain conditions the water from adjacent properties above drains down
to Major Drive.
Mahlon Swedberg said he was bothered by the waiver requested because this area
and home appear fairly new and evidently were built to conform to the Zoning
Code requirements very familiar to what now exist. Approval of this waiver
could establish a precedent for others in the area. Dr. Brodsky responded the
area and his home are approximately 20 years old and while the codes are simi~
lar, he described aQain conditions he feels are unique to his orooerty, the
corner setback requirements, drainaQe, and also the alianment of the houses
to the south varies with the street. The proposed addition does not appear
to him to have a siqnificant impact. The adjacent neiahbor to the south who
it appears may be most affected. approves of this oroposal rather than
building to the rear which would impact them substantially.
The Board continued a lenQthY review and possible alternatives. The architec-
tural considerations and interior uses were also reviewed. Dr. Brodskv noted
his desire to remain in this area and he would not propose anything that would
detract from the appearance of the neighborhood nor the ooeness of the neiQhbor~
hood.
Acting Chairman Larry Smith closed the discussion and called for the Question on
the proposed waiver.
Art Flannagan moved to approve the waiver as reauested. notina th~ reauirement
for two 35 foot setbacks on this corner lot. the drainage to the south which
must be maintained and the lack of any other reasonable alternatives because of
the conditions noted. Second by Herb Polachek and upon vote 3 ayes for approval
and one nay (Swedberg). Motion for approval carried.
There being no further business to come before the Board. it was upon motion.

discussed in detail the location of the proposed ar e

87-8-28 (Map 5) Residential
4505 Heathbrooke Circle
Dr. Ivan L. & Karen Brodsky
The Petition is for waiver of Section
3A.08
to allow the proposed mansurd eaves to over-
hang beyond 30 inches to a distance of 31.1
feet from the north lot line.
The Petition was in order and consent obtained from all adjacent properties.
Dr. and Mrs. Brodsky were present. No others were in attendance.
Secretary, Lloyd Becker, reviewed for the Board the previous waiver granted
last August for a room addition. Plans were submitted this July and a permit
~ed for construction before the one year requirement on the previous waiver
had expired. The permit was issued subject to the architect making changes
which would eliminate or by design make a front mansurd roof that faces
Heathbrooke Circle conform to the 35 foot setback. Dr. Brodsky and the archi-
tect felt this design was necessary to meet the existing roof line and
esthetics of the house and they elected to file for this waiver. Mrs.
Brodsky described in detail the appearance of the mansurd. Lloyd Becker
explained the zoning code provides for a 30 inch overhang, however, the
mansurd is 48 inches and supported by several posts.
Mike Sell noted this is a ~orner lot and the side along Heathbrooke Circle the
lot is angled and widens the setback as it goes westerly and if the mansurd had
been in that direction it appears no waiver would be needed. Mahlon Swedberg
noted the advantage of esthetically matching the neighborhood and the intrusion
of the posts into the setback was minimal. Art Flannagan said it was practical
to provide for the mansurd and posts. Mike Sell moved to approve the waiver as
requested noting this is a corner lot with two 35 foot setbacks required, the
placement of the existing house on the lot and the lot line as it is angled
along Heathbrooke and the waiver is required only along the closest point.
Second by Kevin McAleese and upon vote carried.
Mike Sell noted the two remaining items on the agenda and suggested to the chair
the agenda be reversed to provide more time to address the 1314 Orkla item
without undue delay to the petition at 6463 Westchester Circle. The Board
concured and Mike Sell moved to revise the agenda and provide for 6453
Westchester Circle to be heard next, second by Art Flannagan and upon vote
carried.

Subject:
6731 Golden Valley Road (Map 16) (01-4-6)
Qwest Wireless, Applicant
Date:
April 18, 2001
Qwest Wireless, who is leasing property located at 6731 Golden Valley Road, is requesting a variance
from the Institutional zoning code (Section 11.46). The applicant has approached the City to build a
cellular phone monopole to the south side of the existing Golden Valley Historical Society building.
The building of this monopole requires a variance from the rear yard setback requirements of the
Zoning Code.
Qwest has applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for this monopole to be located in the
Institutional (I -1) zoning district. At the April 9, 2001 Planning Commission meeting, the
Commission recommended to the City Council that this CUP be approved. The application is slated
to be reviewed by the City Council at their meeting on May 1 st.
The requested variance is from Section 11.46, Subd. 8 Yard Requirements. City Code states the
required rear setback shall be 50 in width and depth, of which at least 25 feet adjacent to the property
line shall be landscaped and maintained as a buffer zone. The requested variance is for 14 feet off the
required 50 feet to a distance of 36 feet for a proposed monopole antenna to the rear yard property line.
The Golden Valley Historical Society purchased this building site in 1996. The building was built in
the late 1800s. No other pertinent information was found in the file.

RE: Petition of Ordinance Waiver Paragraph #9
Dear Mr. Olson:
Weare requesting a backyard set back variance for the monopole because it in the best
interest ofthe neighboring properties to have the pole screened as much as possible. The
preferred location is in the tree line to the rear of the parking lot. Moving the pole toward
the parking lot would place the pole out in the open. The landlord is also opposed to
moving the pole.
It is felt that because the railroad tracks pass directly behind the property line and the
Golden Valley Country Club maintenance building is on the other side of the railroad
tracks, the preferred location will have no impact on any of those properties.
We have also tried to line the pole up with the existing Power Poles so as to blend in as
much as possible. The existing power poles are approximately 112' in height.
I have attached two photos showing what the view is to either side of the property. As
you can see the property has heavy tree cover.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know. I can be
reached at 612-272-0083
