Donald Weld Jr, Applicant
Request: Waiver from Section 11��1, �S�ngl��Famil�=Zoning District, Subd.
11(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements
• 8 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 27 ft. at its closest point to the
front yard (north) property line.
Purpose: To allow fior the Construction of a two-stall garage.
Goellner referred to a site pfat� �f the property and explained the applicant's request to
construct a two-stall g�r��e atf���ed to the house with a porch and breezeway. She
noted that variances a�� nbf° .��d�! for the proposed porch and breezeway additions.
She stated that st�ff is r�c�3�nrri��`ding denial of the requested variance because a two-
stall gara���an be�b�ilt�vu,ithin the setback area without the need for variances, and the
angle of the garage would �ompromise the character of the locality. She added that this
applicarrt received a v��riance for a garage addition in 2008. However, work on the
garage was�not�s�rted within one year so that variance expired.
d�
�� {
: ,
Penc�t�sked if��e variance granted in 2008 was the same as this current request.
Goellne��������s. Nelson said the applicant's request in 2008 was the same, however
the Board amended the request and approved a variance for 5 ft. (instead of 8 ft.) off
the required 35 ft.
Orenstein asked if the garage was positioned the same in the 2008 request and this
current request. Goellner said yes.
Johnson stated that the proposed garage in 2008 was 30 ft. x 24 ft. in size. He asked if
it is proposed to be the same size in this request. Goellner said yes, and explained that
if the variance request is reduced to 5 ft. off the required 35 ft. then the proposed
Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals

Page 2
garage would be reduced by approximately 3 ft. and would be 27 ft. x 24 ft. in size
instead.
Donald Weld Jr., Applicant, stated that when he purchased the house it was a triplex
and a drug house. He said he has done major renovations to the house and at some
point he would like to sell it to a family member. He stated that he would be happy with
a 5-foot variance, and that with Douglas Drive being reconstructed it will be a good time
to do this garage addition. He said he has been working with the City regardi.ng the
Douglas Drive construction project and he assumes he will be able to get the same
variance that was granted in 2008. Goellner clarified that the City is acquiring roadway
easements for the Douglas Drive project, but that the property lines won't b� affect�d.
Weld stated that he is concerned about the curb appeal and wanfis to build the gacage
at an angle so the house doesn't look like a long bowling alley. He ad�ed that if the
garage isn't built at an angle he won't be able to use the existing driv�way and will have
to add more impervious surface to the property.
Perich stated that the applicant mentioned there w�� a large tree in the front yard and
asked what other unique circumstances there are with this p�operty. Weld asked if his
variance request was good in 2008 why it wouldn't be now. He said this property is in
the middle of an area with duplexes and the Douglas Drive apartments and he is just
trying to make this work.
Nelson said she agrees that the h���e�Vupuld b� really long if the garage were built in
line with the house, and not at ar��=�ngle. � �
Orenstein asked if the appJic�atior�E�as t� be resubmitted in order to change the request
to 5 ft. off of the required 3�ft. frQi�t yard setback. Nelson said the Board is allowed to
amend an applicant'� request���out requiring the submission of a new application.
Perich opened the pukil�ic h�ea�;kng. �����
Carolyn B��J,:z 125 Meadow_Lane North, referred to the comment about the proposed
new gac�ge��io����ng°ct�nS��tent with the neighborhood and said she would like an
explanatrQn. Goellner sta#ed that there are no other angled garages in the area at all.
Bell asked 'tf everything has to be the same. Goellner explained that when someone
asks for a vari�nce �II of the surrounding properties are taken into account.
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment. Perich closed the public hearing.
Nelson said she would like to amend the variance request to 5 ft. off of the required 35
ft. to a distance of 30 ft. She said she thinks the proposal meets the criteria the Board
considers when granting variances. It is in harmony with the intent of the Code, it is a
reasonable request, there are topographical issues with the property, and she thinks
placing the proposed garage at an angle will be attractive. Orenstein and Perich
agreed. Johnson also agreed and added that the same proposal was approved in the
past so he supports the applicant's request.

LeeAnn Bell 8� Paul Romslo, Applicants
Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning Di���iC#,����d.
11(Aj(3) Side Yard Setback Requirements
• 14.2 ft. off of the required 21.5 ft. to a distance of 7.3 ft. at its closest point'to
the side yard (south) property line.
Purpose: To allow for the construction of a garage addition.
Goellner exptained the applicants' request to construct a third-stall garage addition 7.3
feet away from the side yard property line. She referred to a survey and photos of the
property and stated that there is an existing paved area where the proposed garage
addition would be built. She explained that the;exisfing garage is approximately 22 ft. x
28 ft. in size and the applicants are propo5ing to add 11 #eet of garage space on the
south side and 4 feet of garage space on the frQnt.The applicants have stated that the
unique circumstances on their prop�rCy are thafi the existing home, built with a two-stall
garage was placed near the minirn;u�n setback Iine, their current garage is narrow, there
is no place to build a detached gar'�ge, and ther� are poor soil conditions on their lot.
Goellner stated that staff is r�c�immertding denial of this variance request because a
third garage stall is reasor���le in r�ener�l;, but not this far into a side yard setback area,
the garage addition would c��pr�ise th'��°character of the locality, and the applicants
can continue to use tt��ir ext�� �d driveway in place of a third garage stall.
����
� 'x�,
Perich asked if��e hoi��e v�� t�r����ially built within the correct setback areas. Goellner
said yes. She explained�how the�side yard setback requirements are different now from
when the f�puse was�Qrig��tally built. She added that due to the height of the house the
side yard s�fibac� t�e�uit'errrent is 21.5 ft.
Johnson ref��red#Q�,the site plan of the property and asked if the tennis court shown is
pa� o�this prdp�erty�'and if so, had it been considered as a location for a new garage.
Goellner said t�te tennis court is a part of the applicant's property and that they had
considered buitding a new garage next to it, but not in place of it. Johnson questioned if
a variance would be required for a carport next to the existing garage instead of a third
stall. Goellner said yes.
LeeAnn Bell, Applicant, said the house was built in 1964. She said they want a three-
stall garage because their existing garage is incredibly tight and they need more room
for storage. She said she met with staff and found out that the house was built on
pilings and that the Building Official expressed concern about building a detached
garage considering the soil conditions. She said she has spoken with the neighbors and
Minutes of the Goiden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
April 28, 2015
Page 4
they've expressed support for their proposal, otherwise they would not do it. She said
their proposal is reasonable and consistent with the neighborhood and there is no place
else on the property to build additional garage space. She said approximately 50% of
the homes in their area have three-stall garages and given the size of their home, a
three-stall garage won't be disproportionate. She said her mother lives with them and
the chance is good that future owners of the house will likely have children and will
need a third garage stall. She said she has considered other options and that she
would like to revitalize the tennis court. She said she understands the City's concerns,
but when she thinks about setbacks it is not a number, it is the character and diversity
of the architecture and promoting the feeling of openness.
Goellner stated that she verified that the nearby homes with thre��stall gara�s list�l in
the application did not require variances.
Perich asked the applicant if she had considered expanding the��xisti�� g����e, just
not as wide as a third garage stall. Bell said they really need a thirtl stafl`'ga�age. She
said that they had a break-in in one of their cars, and that just expanding the existing
garage slightly won't address their needs.
Nelson stated that the applicants just bought this house knowing it had a two-stall
garage. She asked the applicant if a third garage stall played into their decision to
purchase the home. Bell said she was hoping a third garage stall would work. She said
she didn't know how the setback requirem�nts worked, and she didn't know about the
soil conditions when they purchas�c��the property.
Johnson questioned if they cansidered building a storage shed instead of a garage
addition. Bell said they have a sh�d, b�t they still want to build a third garage stall
�.,
because they have troubl� p�eni�their �ar doors inside the garage. She explained
that there is a stairway inside��i��`house that takes up a portion of the inside of the
E.
garage. She said the�i�v� �eally fr�ed to make this work and address the criteria that the
Board uses when con�Idefln�����n��ces. She said she understands they are asking for
a large variance�t�t�t she���ls if i�`reasonable and there will still be openness between
their house;and neighbor��

��
Johnson said h� thinks there are a couple of unique circumstances with this property.
He said it is a massive house that was placed close to one side of the lot which
contributes to the predicament.
Nelson said she is sensitive to granting variances to allow for a second garage stall, but
not as sensitive to granting variances for third stalls. She stated that the Board has to
follow the criteria required when granting variances, but they also try to remain
consistent. She said it is too bad the lot has bad soils but she is not sure they should
grant a variance based on that.

Perich said it is hard to say the existing garage is a true two-stall garage because some
of the space is taken away by the staircase. He said it seems that the applicants have
exhausted their options and there are other three-stall garages in the neighborhood.
Johnson agreed that the existing garage has a weird configuration. He said the soil
condition isn't an issue to him, but there are other unique issues with the property.
Nelson said she is a real estate agent and she has her clients measure their cars and
the garage space if it is important to them to help them make a decision. She said in
this case the existing garage is a part of what the applicants bought. She questioned if
a third stall was built if they could add an addition above it in the future. Goellner s�id
no, not without applying for another variance.
Orenstein said since this house was purchased so recently, he is curious'why t�te ' '
garage wasn't a factor in the applicant's decision to buy it. He said the applicants may
have assumed they could get a variance, but his approach would have been to think it
through before he bought it and not hope he'd get a variance later; Nelsor�'agreed and
added that granting this variance request would not be consistent with what the Board
has done in the past, and might set a precedent.
Johnson stated that if the variance isn't granted the house mig;ht not get the TLC it
needs.
Perich explained to the applicants that they°��pu�cf� asl��-��at their request be tabled to the
next meeting in order to have a fulk�Board;pres�nt.
Bell agreed that it is their fau��;tt��t t�iey�iought the house. She said she looked at the
City's website and only fo�r�d'�the���tb�ak requirements regarding detached accessory
structures.
Nelson asked Bell wh�t th�y paic�.for the house. Bell said they paid $485,000 minus
$10,000 in closing costs. Sh�:said she would like to table her request to the next Board
meeting. She refer.red tm �he comments regarding the consistency of the neighborhood
and said th�;t.she feels h'�r request is reasonable and that the new homes in her
neighb�rho�c�����k��s��,bui�t with three-stall garages.

Purpose: To allow for the construction of a deck.
Goellner referred to a survey of the property and explained the applicants' request to build a
16 ft. x 22 ft. deck on the back on their home. She stated that the deck is proposed in the
location it is, due to the fact that there is a window well area next to the proposed deck that
they are trying to avoid. She added that a deck cannot be built along the side yard (south)
property line without a variance because the house itself was granted variances to allow it to
be built taller than 15 feet in height without an increase in the side setback as required by the
Zoning Code. Therefore, while the home was built to a 12.5 ft. setback, the`deck must still be
built to the 15 ft. setback as stated in the City Code. She stated that staff is recomrnending
denial of the variance because a reasonably sized deck can be built on this,property without
variances.
Nelson asked about the dimensions for the buildable area for a;deck; She stated that the
new house next to this house just sold based partly on what is there naw, not knowing that
this applicant has applied for a variance for a new deck.
Board Member Johnson asked Goellner if the applicants presented any other options for
building their deck. Goellner said no. Board Member Johnson:asked if a variance would still
be required if the applicants built the deck closer to the north �roperty line. Goellner said no,
and stated that the setback requirement along tFte north,property line would be 35 feet.
Jay Johnson, Applicant, said his goaJ��� to make sure the proposed deck doesn't alter the
locality and fits in with the existin� i�'eighborhoo�i. He said the unique circumstance is the
location of an existing window w�ll. ,He stated that they could extend the deck further to the
west but it would look odd an���ul�,r�o'� fit as well. He said they would like a nice big deck
for a sitting area, toy area���nd gr��ting�area. He added that he met with staff and was told he
could build a deck 12.5 fee��rom;�e south property line, in line with the plane of the house,
but they don't want ts� build a�3����oot wide deck, and they don't want to cover the window

Nelson said the pt�c�pos����+�eck seems to be infringing on the back yard of the neighbor to
the south.,�IJr. John�on s�id their proposed deck would be located near the middle of the
neighb�r's�b��1�y�fd_�t��ha�point. He said if the Board is uncomfortable with the 6-foot wide
portion ��'�the de��ck wrapping around the side of the house, he would be willing to accept a
smaller va�i�nce.�� _
Perich opened �he public hearing. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to comment, Perich
closed th�;����ic hearing.
Orenstein said he would be inclined to the support the variance request subject to the new
property owner to the south being ok with it.
Nelson said a pretty large deck can be built on this property without a variance. She stated
that even if the new property owner to the south is ok with the applicant's proposal, future
property owners may not be. She said she would be supportive of the proposed deck being
built to match the plane of the existing house.

Perich said he would also be supportive of allowing the proposed deck to be built to match
the plane of the existing house. He added that this is new construction and the buyers knew
what they were buying.
Orenstein asked if the window well area was for an egress window. Mr. Johnson said yes.
Board Member Johnson said he didn't see anything in the application stating why a deck
couldn't be built within the setback requirements and he doesn't see what is driving the need
for a variance. He said he does like the articulation of the proposed deck and thinks bumping
it out toward the south property line a foot or two will look better than a "long tunnel" if it
matches the plane of the existing house. Nelson said she thinks 16 ft. x 13 it. is a nice sized
deck and that it won't make the house look too long. She added that she thirik$ th�.�equest
is reasonable, but that it would affect the character of its locality:

Perich said he thinks the location of the window well is unique ar►d sugc�estet� granting a
variance to allow the proposed deck to be in line with the~plane of the hot��e. He told the
applicant that he could table his request in order to be h�ard in front of a full Board. Mr.
Johnson said the proposed deck would not be 16 fit: x 16 ffi. in size�when considering the
staircase. He said he would consider building the deck further to the west, but being allowed
to build a foot or two to the south would mak� a big difference. He said he does not wish to
table his request.
MOVED by Perich, seconded by Nel�on and motion carried unanimously to approve a
variance for 2.5 ft. off of the requir�,d 15 ft. to a distance of 12.5 ft. at its closest point to
the side yard (south) property line to allow for the construction of a deck.

Date: May 20, 2015
To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: 125 Meadow Lane North
LeeAnn Bell and Paul Romslo, Applicants
This application was presented to the Board of Zoning Appeals on April 28, 2015, and was tabled
by the applicant. Four of five Board Members were present.
LeeAnn Bell and Paul Romslo, owners of the property at 125 Meadow Lane North, are seeking a
variance from the City Code to add a third stall to a two-stall attached garage. The applicant is
seeking a variance of 14.2 feet off the required side yard setback of 21.5 feet to a distance of 7.3
feet from the side yard (south) property line. The applicant is also seeking a variance to build an
attached garage greater than 1,000 square feet in size.
The property currently has a two-stall garage that is approximately 575 square feet (22 feet wide
and 28 feet deep). The proposed addition would increase the size of the garage to approximately
999 square feet for the three-stall garage. The proposed third stall garage would increase the
width of the garage by 11 feet to the south (side yard) and 4 feet to the east (front yard). It meets
the front yard setback requirement. The new stall would be built to match the gables of the
existing garage. The driveway currently extends to the area where the proposed third stall would
be located.
If a variance from the side yard setback requirement is granted, the distance between the home
at 125 Meadow Lane and the neighboring home to the south, 105 Meadow Lane, would be
approximately 29.8 feet at the closest point. The neighboring home is located approximately 22.5
feet from the property line. The home at 105 Meadow Lane has a two-stall garage.
The applicants note that the property is unique in that the home was built with a two-stall garage
near the south end of the lot, requiring a variance to the side yard setback in order to build an
attached third stall. They also noted that the garage is narrow and difficult to maneuver within
and it is difficult to store items in. This addition would meet tfieir needs as a family.
There is not a reasonable location for an additional detached garage on the lot. If it were located
behind the home, the driveway would need to extend around the south end of the home to the
rear yard. This would significantly alter the character of the locality. The Building Official noted
that a detached garage, as well as an attached garage, would need to be built on pilings due to
poor soil conditions. The home is also built on pilings.
To understand how this variance could affect the character of the locality, the applicants
provided a list of nearby homes with three-stall garages. While 200 Sunnyridge Lane, 120
Meadow Lane, 221 Meadow Lane, and 4260 Glenwood Avenue have three-stall garages, no
variances were necessary in order to build them. The applicants also noted two homes with side
yard setbacks comparable to the setback they are requesting. However, the properties at 513
Meadow Lane and 521 Meadow Lane have smaller setback requirements because the lots are
smaller in width than the applicant's lot.
The proposal requires variances from the following sections of City Code:
Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11(A)(3) Side Yard Setback Requirements: The
minimum side yard (south) setback requirement is 21.5 feet. The Applicant is requesting a
variance of 14.2 feet off of the required 21.5 feet to a distance of 7.3 feet at its closest point to
the side yard (south) property line.
Staff Recommendation:
In reviewing this application, staff has maintained the points of examination to the considerations
outlined in Minnesota State Statute 462.357, requiring that a property exhibit "practical
difficulties" in order for a variance to be granted. To constitute practical difficulties, the property
owner must propose to use the property in a reasonable manner, the landowners' problem must
be due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the landowner, and that the
variance, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality.
City staff finds that a third-stall addition to a two-stall garage is a reasonable use for this
property. tiowever, staff finds that compromising the side yard setback requirement to the
extent requested is not reasonable. The extent of this change in a side yard setback would
compromise the essential character of the locality. Even though the landowner did not take any
action that caused this issue to arise, staff finds that a two-stall garage on this lot is sufficient and
that the current driveway allows the space for an additional car to park on the lot. Staff
understands the safety concerns and personal needs of the applicants, but must focus this
analysis on how the addition will affect the locality.
Staff recommends denial of the request for a variance of 14.2 feet off the required side yard
setback of 21.5 feet to a distance of 7.3 feet from the side yard (south) property line.

Purpose: To allow for the construction of a garage additivn.
Goellner explained the applicants' request to construct a third-stall garage addition 7.3
feet away from the side yard property line. She referred to a survey and photos of the
property and stated that there is an existing paved area where the proposed garage
addition would be built. She explained that the existin,g garag�'is approximately 22 ft. x
28 ft. in size and the applicants are proposing to add �1 fe�t.�f garage space on the

is no place to build a detached gara�e, and ther� are poor soil conditions on their lot.
Goellner stated that staff is r��n�er�di�g denial of this variance request because a

part�f this prt����rty�`and if so, had it been considered as a location for a new garage.
Goelln����aid t� tennis court is a part of the applicant's property and that they had
considere�l�.k���i�ding a new garage next to it, but not in place of it. Johnson questioned if
a variance would be required for a carpo�t next to the existing garage instead of a third
stall. Goellner said yes.
LeeAnn Bell, Applicant, said the house was built in 1964. She said they want a three-
stall garage because their existing garage is incredibly tight and they need more room
for storage. She said she met with staff and found out that the house was built on
pilings and that the Building Official expressed concern about building a detached
garage considering the soil conditions. She said she has spoken with the neighbors and

they've expressed support for their proposal, otherwise they would not do it. She said
their proposal is reasonable and consistent with the neighborhood and there is no place
else on the property to build additional garage space. She said approximately 50% of
the homes in their area have three-stall garages and given the size of their home, a
three-stall garage won't be disproportionate. She said her mother lives with them and
the chance is good that future owners of the house will likely have children and will
need a third garage stall. She said she has considered other options and that she
would like to revitalize the tennis court. She said she understands the City's,�oncerns,
but when she thinks about setbacks it is not a number, it is the character and diversity
of the architecture and promoting the feeling of openness.
Goellner stated that she verified that the nearby homes with three-stall garag s listed in
� f
the application did not require variances.
Perich asked the applicant if she had considered expanding the exisfing gar�ge, just
not as wide as a third garage stall. Bell said they really need a th`ird stall g�rage. She
said that they had a break-in in one of their cars, and that jus�`expanding the existing
garage slightly won't address their needs.
Nelson stated that the applicants just bought:this house knovriing it had a two-stall
garage. She asked the applicant if a third garage stalt���l�yed into their decision to
purchase the home. Bell said she was hoping a third gara�e stall would work. She said
she didn't know how the setback requirements worked�, and she didn't know about the
soil conditions when they purchased the property.
Johnson questioned if they cort�ider+�d building a storage shed instead of a garage
addition. Bell said they ha�r��� sfi���l, but ihey still want to build a third garage stall
because they have troubler��enir�g their �ar doors inside the garage. She explained
that there is a stairw�y inside`;���'house that takes up a portion of the inside of the
garage. She said they'v� really tt�ed to make this work and address the criteria that the
Board uses wh�� con�i�Jerir�g�r�ri��ces. She said she understands they are asking for
a large variance but she f��ls if`i� reasonable and there will still be openness between
their house and neighbors,

Johns� said �� thinks there are a couple of unique circumstances with this property.
He said r�t����assive house that was placed close to one side of the lot which
contributes to the predicament.
Nelson said she is sensitive to granting variances to allow for a second garage stall, but
not as sensitive to granting variances for third stalls. She stated that the Board has to
follow the criteria required when granting variances, but they also try to remain
consistent. She said it is too bad the lot has bad soils but she is not sure they should
grant a variance based on that.

Perich said it is hard to say the existing garage is a true two-stall garage because some
of the space is taken away by the staircase. He said it seems that the applicants have
exhausted their options and there are other three-stall garages in the neighborhood.
Johnson agreed that the existing garage has a weird configuration. He said the soil
condition isn't an issue to him, but there are other unique issues with the property.
Nelson said she is a real estate agent and she has her clients measure their cars and
the garage space if it is important to them to help them make a decision. She said in
this case the existing garage is a part of what the applicants bought. She questi4ned if
a third stall was built if they could add an addition above it in the future. Goellner said
no, not without applying for another variance.
�
Orenstein said since this house was purchased so recently, he is �urio�as�`v�rhy t�.���" �
garage wasn't a factor in the applicant's decision to buy it. He said ths applica�ts may
have assumed they could get a variance, but his approach would have been fio think it
through before he bought it and not hope he'd get a vari�nce later: Nelson agreed and
added that granting this variance request would not be consistent with what the Board
has done in the past, and might set a precedent.
Johnson stated that if the variance isn't granted the house might not get the TLC it
needs.
Perich explained to the applicants that they coufd asl��#hat their request be tabled to the
next meeting in order to have a full.�oard present.
Bell agreed that it is their fat������t thp�:bought the house. She said she looked at the
City's website and only fo�u� the���tba�k requirements regarding detached accessory
structures. E �'
,.
Nelson asked Bell w}�,�t���th�y pa�„for the house. Bell said they paid $485,000 minus
$10,000 in closing cost�. Sl�e�s�i�°�he would like to table her request to the next Board
meeting. She referred tc� tMe comments regarding the consistency of the neighborhood
and said th�t she fe�ls her request is reasonable and that the new homes in her
neighborhaod a�e;being:buiit with three-stall garages.
MpVED by��rerr�t�in, seconded by Nelson and motion carried unanimously to table
the �i�,plicant'�;��eqi�st to the May Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.

4. Provide a detailed description of need for a variance from the Zoning Code, including:
• Description of building(s)
• Description of proposed addition(sj
• Description of proposed alteration(s) to property
5. Minnesota State Statute 462.357 requires that a property exhibit "practical difficulties" in order for
a variance to be considered. Practical Difficulties:
• result in a use that is reasonable.
� are based on a problem that is unique to the property.
• are not caused by the landowner,
• do not alter the essential character of the locality.
To demonstrate how your request will comply with Minnesota State Statute 462.357, please
respond to the following questions:
Explain the need for your variance request and how it will result in a reasonable use of the
property.
What is unique about your property and how do you feel that it necessitates a variance?
Explain how the need for a variance is based on circumstances that are not a result of a
landowner action.
Explain how, if granted, the proposed variance will not alter the essential character of your
neighborhood and Golden Valley as a whole.
6. The City requests that you consider all available project options that are permitted by the Zoning
Code prior to requesting a variance. The Board of Zoning Appeals will discuss alternative options
to seeking variance with you at the public hearing. Please describe alternate ways to do your
project that do not require variances to the Zoning Code.
7. Please submit a current survey of your property. You must indicate the proposed addition,
including new proposed building and structure setbacks, on the survey. A copy of Golden Valley's
survey requirements is available upon request. Please note that this application is considered
incomplete without the submittal of a current property survey.
8. Please submit at least one current color photograph of the area affected by the proposed
variance. You may attach a printed photograph to this application, or you may email a digital
image to plannin�@�oldenvallevmngov. You may submit additional photographs as needed.
To the best of my knowledge the statements found in this application are true and correct. I
also understand that unless construction of the action applicable to this variance request, if
granted, is not taken within one year, the variance expires.
I have considered all options afforded to me through the City's Zoning Code, and feel that there
is no alternate way to achieve my objective except to seek a variance to zoning rules and
regulations.
I give permission for Golden Valley staff, as well as members of the Board of Zoning Appeals, to
enter my property prior to the public hearing to inspect the area affected by this request.

125 MEADOW LANE NORTH VARIANCE REQUEST
3. We are requesting a variance for the south side setback in order to build a three-
car garage. The current survey shows that the garage is 18.3-18.7 feet from the property
line and the current set back is 15 feet. We are requesting a variance to build a third stall
resulting in a requested variance of the setback to down to 7.3-7.7 feet.
4. We currently have a two car attached garage which is located to the south of the
residence. We would like to build an expanded three car garage for various reasons.
First, there are three adults living on the property (one parent lives with us) and we have
three vehicles which we would like to park inside. Unfortunately, within a few weeks of
moving in, we had a family member's vehicle broken into while parked in the driveway
overnight. The third garage stall would allow us to park all of the vehicles in the garage.
Second, the current garage is barely wide enough to permit the opening of car doors
given the snow blower, bikes, lawn mower etc. that need to be stored.
The new garage would add a third stall to the south of the existing garage as well
as deepen the garage by moving the front of the garage forward 4 feet in order to line up
with the front of the main residence (the forward expansion does not require a variance). .
5. The variance is necessary because of the soil conditions of the property. Due to
unstable soil, the house and existing attached garage were built on pilings. According to
conversations with the Building Official, Jerry Frevel, per building code, any attached
garage on the property would be required to be built on pilings (or whatever the current
engineering requirements would be). A non-attached garage would not have those
engineering requirements and could be structurally unstable over the long term. Thus, it
is in the best interest of long-term use of the property to build an attached garage.
The location of the house on the lot, the conditions of the soil and the available
locations for an attached garage were fixed before we purchased the residence in the
summer of 2014. The house itself is to the north of the current garage, preventing
expansion in that direction. To the rear, there is an existing three-season porch with
windows on three sides, and a gas heater which vents at the rear of the garage. As a
result, the garage cannot be expanded to the rear. The garage cannot be expanded
forward because the depth necessary for a third car stall would violate the setback
1
requirements for the front of the property and would not function given the shape of the
existing driveway. LeeAnn has personally visited with the Building Official and
Planning Manager, Jason Zimmerman, as well has had multiple telephone conversations
with the Planning office to discuss the project before making this request.
With regard to impact on the character of the neighborhood and Golden Valley, a
three car garage is not out of proportion to the size of the house (appx. 3,600 square feet).
A three car garage is also consistent with other houses in the immediate vicinity that have
at least a three car garage, including the two houses directly across the street (200
Sunnyridge Ln, 120 Meadow Ln N) and other houses on the street (e.g. 221 Meadow Ln
N) and two new builds just a block away (1 Meadow Lane N and 4251 Glenwood Av. —4
car).
Additionally, a smaller setback is not inconsistent with the properties in the area.
On Meadow Lane, there are properties that appear to have setbacks smaller than 15 feet
(e.g. 513 and 521 Meadow Ln N and well as the house between them). Furthermore, the
side of the property where the variance is requested is the location where our garage
meets the neighbor's garage, and thus, it is less disruptive to the overall feel of the
neighborhood. On the North side, the house is setback almost 70 feet from the property
line, thus, the character of the neighborhood will not be altered by having a smaller
setback on the South side because the North side maintains a large open area.
Thus, given all these considerations a three car garage it is not only a reasonable
use of the property, it is consistent with other properties in the area and a variance in the
setback on just one side of the residence will not alter the character of the locality.
6. As explained above, given the location of the house on the lot, there is no option to
build an attached garage to accommodate 3 car widths without a zoning variance given
the location of the house on the property and the other limits of the lot.
Despite the serious concern of stability issues addressed above, we have
considered where we could build a detached garage despite the soil conditions. As a
preliminary matter the lot has no rear access, so there is no option to build a detached
garage in the rear of the lot accessed by an alley. Because there is no rear access to the
lot, as well as the presence of a city storm drain and a swing set in the back yard, the only
possible location for a detached garage would be directly behind the current garage (it is
2
not clear that it would actually fit in the space given the issues set forth below). This
would result in placing a garage in the sight lines of the Southside neighbors' deck and
the windows of the existing three season porch, which would be esthetically unappealing.
A detached garage in this location would also result in what would appear to be a
long line of garage wall along the south side of the property (although there would be a
break in the wall, it would have the visual effect of appearing continuous), which is also
esthetically unappealing and not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood (as
evidenced by the zoning requirement that no walls to the side of the property shall be
more than 32 consecutive feet long).
Furthermore, the grade behind the current attached garage slopes downward and
there is a 3-4 foot high retaining wall directly behind the current garage running the
length of the garage. Because a detached garage would need to be built where the grade
is changing significantly, it will require modifying the slope of the yard to accommodate
a flat foundation for a detached garage which could further exacerbate the soil issues
noted by the Building Inspector. It would also require expanding the paved square
footage of the property in order to accommodate a long extension to the existing
driveway past the current garage and up to and including the foundation for the new
garage. Given all of these facts, building a separate detached garage is simply not viable
and not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood.

763 593 8095/763 593 8109(fax)
Date: May 20, 2015
To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: 1319 Tyrol Trail
Dan and Sheila Broughton, Applicants
Dan and Sheila Broughton, owners of the property at 1319 Tyrol Trail, are seeking variances from
the City Code to replace the existing one-stall garage with a two-stall garage and building
addition. The applicants are seeking a variance of 6.0 feet off the required side yard setback of
17.0 feet to a distance of 11.0 feet from the side yard (northeast) property line. The applicants
are seeking an additional variance to construct a new porch on the southeast side of the home.
This is a request for a variance of 2.3 feet of the required side yard setback of 17.0 feet to a
distance of 14.7 feet from the side yard (southeast) property line.
The property currently has a one-stall garage that would be re-constructed in order to increase
its height. The current garage door height is 5 feet, 6 inches tall. It would also be re-constructed
so that it is built in line with the front of the home. Currently, the garage is angled away from the
home. The rock wall in the center of the front yard near the front door of the home would be
relocated along the new driveway path. The second garage stall would be built up to the existing
retaining wall along the northeastern property line. Additional living space would be constructed
above the second stall. If the variance is granted,the home would be Iocated approximately 40
feet from the neighboring home to the east.
The applicants plan to build a new porch on the rear of the home. The rear yard in this case is
considered a side yard for zoning purposes due to the triangular shaped lot which is located on a
corner. Since staff is not able to determine a "true" front yard (the shorter of the two front lot
lines), there is no rear yard on this property. The porch is approximately 182 square feet in size
and would be located 14.7 feet from the southeast property line. If a variance for the porch is
granted, the porch would be approximately 40 feet from the neighboring home to the south.
The applicant notes that the property is unique in that the home was built with a small and short
1-stall garage. The applicant also notes that the lot is triangular and located on a corner Iot, which
significantly reduces the buildable area, Building a second garage stall requires a variance. In
order to build the new porch within the side yard setback requirement, the size of the porch
would have to be reduced by approximately 6 feet in length. This would reduce the size of the
porch from 182 square feet to 140 square feet.
The proposal requires variances from the following sections of City Code:
Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11(A)(3) Side Yard Setback Requirements: The
minimum side yard (northeast) setback requirement is 17.0 feet. The Applicant is requesting a
variance of 6.0 feet off of the required 17.0 feet to a distance of 11.0 feet at its closest point to
the side yard (northeast) property line. The applicant is also requesting a variance of 2.3 feet off
the required 17.0 feet to a distance of 14.7 feet at its closest point to the side yard (southeast)
property line.
Staff Recommendation:
In reviewing this application, staff has maintained the points of examination to the considerations
outlined in Minnesota State Statute 462.357, requiring that a property exhibit "practical
difficulties" in order for a variance to be granted. To constitute practical difficulties, the property
owner must propose to use the property in a reasonable manner, the landowners' problem must
be due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the landowner, and that the
variance, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality.
City staff recognizes that the buildable area on this property is very limited due to its location on
the corner and its triangular shape. A second garage stall addition to a one-stall garage is a
reasonable use for this property. Even though the proposed porch requires a small variance, it
would be slightly farther away from the neighboring home than the applicants' home stands
today. Staff finds that these additions would not compromise the essential character of the
locality.
Staff recommends approval of the request for a variance of 6.0 feet off of the required 17.0 feet
to a distance of 11.0 feet at its closest point to the side yard (northeast) property line for a garage
and house addition.
Staff recommends approval of the request for a variance of 2.3 feet off the required 17.0 feet to
a distance of 14.7 feet at its closest point to the side yard (southeast) property line for a porch
addition.

Zoning Code Variance Application
1. Street address: 1319 Tvrol Trail, Minneaqolis, MN 554�
2. Applicant Information:
Name: Dan &Sheila Brou�hton
Address:
/ �Pt�sb,�
Email Address: dbrou�hton@mavo.edu shlbr�htn@charter.net AG�curl . d��t�er�' �
Phone Number: 507-254-2124
3. Provide a detailed description of the variance(s) being requested:
The variance would be to add an addition that encroaches into the 15'-6" side vard setback. The new
addition would still be 11-0" from the propertv line.
4. Provide a detailed description of need for a variance from the Zoning Code, including:
• Description of building(s)
• Description of proposed addition(s)
• Description of proposed alteration(s)to property
The current tuck-under�ara�e is not able to accommodate a modern vehicle due to an existin� cast-
in-place concrete beam that has a vertical clearance of only 6'-0". The hei�ht of this beam requires
the �ara�e door to be around 5'-6" tall. This is not sufficient enou�h space for a family sized vehicle.
In order to reconfigure the gara�e the current�ara�e and a portion of the house above will need be
removed. A new�ara�e footprint will be constructed as well as an addition the same size above. This
will allow for a steel flush beam to be installed to �ive a reasonable head hei�ht to the �ara�e and the
�ara�e door access.
This is a corner lot that has a verv ti�ht buildin�footprint accordin�to the current rear and side vard
setbacks. The existin� house is not in compliance with the current setbacks and anv work done to the
current �ara�e to make it useable would need a variance.
5. Minnesota State Statute 462.357 requires that a property exhibit "practical difficulties" in order for
a variance to be considered. Practical Difficulties:
+
• result in a use that is reasonable.
• are based on a problem that is unique to the property.
• are not caused by the landowner.
• do not alter the essential character of the locality.
To demonstrate how your request will comply with Minnesota State Statute 462.357, please
respond to the following questions:
Explain the need for your variance request and how it will result in a reasonable use of the
property.
• The proposed addition would be into the side vard setback 4'-6" and would still be 11'-0" awav
from the property line.
• Th_e_neighborin� house is uphill from this lot and is a reasonable distance awav from the
adjoinin� propertv line causin� no obstructions to their site sunli�ht or views.
• A lar�e portion of the existing retainin�wall will be able to remain in place.
• The current �ara�e is an�led causin�the North corner to be outside of the side vard setback by
about 1'-0". This desi�n will ali�n the new�ara�e to the same orientation as the main part of the
house.
• The current �ara�e location will be maintained to utilize the existin�curb cut.
What is unique about your property and how do you feel that it necessitates a variance?
This is a corner lot that with the current setback requirements causes an unrealistic buildin�footprint
to accommodate a usable �ara�e.
Explain how the need for a variance is based on circumstances that are not a result of a
landowner action.
• The existin��ara�e head hei�ht is too low
• The current side and rear vard setbacks cause the existin� buildin�footprint to be outside of the
setback lines
Explain how, if granted,the proposed variance will not alter the essential character of your
neighborhood and Golden Valley as a whole.
The majority of the current buildin�would remain intact. This would allow the house to be one of a
handful of ori�inal buildin�s left in this particular nei�hborhood.
.
The addition will be architecturally compatible with the existin� house and the existin�ori�inal
nei�hborhood houses.
6. The City requests that you consider all available project options that are permitted by the Zoning
Code prior to requesting a variance. The Board of Zoning Appeals will discuss alternative options
to seeking variance with you at the public hearing. Please describe alternate ways to do your
project that do not require variances to the Zoning Code.
In order to make a usable �arage on the Site the only other alternate not requirin� a variance would
be to tear down the existin� buildin� and then build within the ti�ht footprint created by the current
setback requirements.
Other options would either require a variance, block the front of the house, and require a new curb
cut.

7. Please submit a current survey of your property. You must indicate the proposed addition,
including new proposed building and structure setbacks, on the survey. A copy of Golden Valley's
survey requirements is available upon request. Please note that this application is considered
incomplete without the submittal of a current property survey.
8. Please submit at least one current color photograph of the area affected by the proposed
variance. You may attach a printed photograph to this application, or you may email a digital
image to planning@�oldenvalleymn.gov. You may submit additional photographs as needed.
To the best of my knowledge the statements found in this application are true and correct. I
also understand that unless construction of the action applicable to this variance request, if
granted, is not taken within one year,the variance expires.
I have considered all options afforded to me through the City's Zoning Code, and feel that there
is no alternate way to achieve my objective except to seek a variance to zoning rules and
regulations.
I give permission for Golden Valley staff, as well as members of the Board of Zoning Appeals,to
enter my property prior to the public hearing to inspect the area affected by this request.
.

Date: May 20, 2015
To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: 413 Rhode Island Avenue North
Travis Kierstead, Applicant
Travis Kierstead, owner of the property at 413 Rhode Island Avenue North, is seeking a variance
from the City Code to build a fence in the rear and side yards. The applicant is seeking a set of
three related variance requests to construct an 8-foot tall fence along the north and west
property lines and a 6-foot tall fence along the south and east property lines. More specifically,
the requests include:
• 4.0 feet taller than the allowed 4.0 feet for a total height of 8.0 feet along the front
(north) property line
• 2.0 feet taller than the allowed 6.0 feet for a total height of 8.0 feet along the rear (west)
property line
• 2.0 feet taller than the allowed 4.0 feet for a total height of 6.0 feet along the front (east)
property line
The applicant notes that the property is unique in that the home was built on a corner, so there is
a 4 foot fence height requirement along Highway 55 (northern property line) and Rhode Island
Avenue North (eastern property line), The proposed privacy fence would maintain a safe area for
children to play and it would block noise and sightlines from Highway 55. The applicant is seeking
an increased height of 8.0 feet along the northern and western property lines for this purpose.
The property is situated at a slightly lower grade than Highway 55. Along Rhode Island Avenue
(eastern property line) and along the neighboring driveway to the south, 6.0 foot tall fences are
proposed in order to maintain continuity and uniformity with nearby properties. The fence along
the southern property does not require a variance because it is located within the side yard
where 6.0 foot tall fences are permitted.
The proposal requires variances from the following section of City Code:
Section 11.72, Fences, Subd. 3(A)(1) Front and Rear Regulations: The maximum fence height
requirement for fences is 4.0 feet in front yards and 6.0 feet in rear yards.
Staff Recommendation:
In reviewing this application, staff has maintained the points of examination to the considerations
outlined in Minnesota State Statute 462.357, requiring that a property exhibit "practical
difficulties" in order for a variance to be granted. To constitute practical difficulties, the property
owner must propose to use the property in a reasonable manner, the landowners' problem must
be due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the landowner, and that the
variance, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality.
City staff finds that a privacy fence is a reasonable use for this property. The 6.0 foot tall fence
meets the applicant's need for a safe and private area. A 6.0 foot tall fence also blocks noise and
traffic sightlines, even with the different in grade between the applicant's property and Highway
55.
Granting a variance in order to build an 8.0 foot tall fence is not necessary in order to meet the
needs of the applicant. Particularly, the proposed 8.0 foot tall fence along the western property
line would alter the essential character of the locality and it would negatively impact the property
owner to the west. For rear yards in this district, 6.0 foot tall fences are permitted.
Staff recommends approval of the following variance request:
• 2.0 feet taller than the allowed 4.0 feet for a total height of 6.0 feet along the front (east)
property line
Staff recommends approval of an amended variance request for the following:
• 4.0 feet taller than the allowed 4.0 feet for a total height of 8.0 feet along the front
(north) property line
o Amended: 2.0 feet taller than the allowed 4.0 foot for a total height of 6.0 feet
along the front (north) property line
Staff recommends denial of the following request:
• 2.0 feet taller than the allowed 6.0 feet for a total height of 8.0 feet along the rear (west)
property line
If these recommendations are approved, this would result in the applicant's ability to build a 6.0
foot tall fence around the perimeter of the property as shown on the attached plan.

Zoning Code Variance Application
1. Street address: 413 Rhode Island Ave N
2. Applicant Information:
Name: Travis Kierstead
Address: 413 Rhode Island Ave N
Email Address: travis.kierstead@gmail.com
Phone Number: 952 807 7312
3. Provide a detailed description of the variance(s) being requested:
8 foot fence height along North and West sections of wood fence enclosing back yard of
single-family residential property. East and South sections 6 foot in height.
4. Provide a detailed description of need for a variance from the Zoning Code, including:
• Description of building(s)
• Description of proposed addition(s)
• Description of proposed alteration(s)to property
No fence currently exists on property. Proposed fence would enclose back yard and
portions of North and South side yards- please refer to attached draft of proposal. Due t�
variation in grade, Highway 55 sits slightly elevated to property and an 8 foot fence height
is necessary along the North and West sections to effectively reduce noise and traffic
sightlines.
,A
5. Minnesota State Statute 462.357 requires that a property exhibit "practical difficulties" in order for � .
a variance to be considered. Practical Difficulties: '
• result in a use that is reasonable. �
• are based on a problem that is unique to the property. �
• are not caused by the landowner.
• do not alter the essential character of the locality. � `
To demonstrate how your request will comply with Minnesota State Statute 462.357, please �
respond to the following questions: `
Explain the need for your variance request and how it will result in a reasonable use of the
property. •
The need for a fence and enclosed back yard is reasonable for purposes of maintaining a safe play
area for the young child of the property owners.The request for variance in certain sections of
fence height is reasonable for purposes of reducing noise and traffic sightlines.
What is unique about your property and how do you feel that it necessitates a variance?
,
The property is uniquely located in close proximity and slightly lower grade in relation to Highway
55, increasing noise and visual clutter inside the home and in the lawn.
Explain how the need for a variance is based on circumstances that are not a result of a
landowner action.
Highway 55 is a very important roadway, however variations in traffic volume outside of property
owner control can impact livability factors to the extent of making normal conversation outside of
the home difficult at peak times.
Explain how, if granted,the proposed variance will not alter the essential character of your
neighborhood and Golden Valley as a whole.
Sections of the proposed fence remain 6 foot to maintain continuity and uniformity with nearby
properties. Increased privacy and noise reduction should enhance property value.There is
precedence of 8 foot fences in the community along major roadways.
6. The City'requests that you consider all available project options that are permitted by the Zoning
Code prior to requesting a variance.The Board of Zoning Appeals will discuss alternative options
to seeking variance with you at the public hearing. Please describe alternate ways to do your
project that do not require variances to the Zoning Code.
The primary alternative of establishing a hedge or other natural barrier is complicated by the
presence of three large maple trees which reduce sunlight and impede plant growth. Removing
the maple trees would further contribute to difficulties with noise control and potentially worsen
the overall effect.
7. Please submit a current survey of your property. You must indicate the proposed addition,
including new proposed building and structure setbacks, on the survey. A copy of Golden Valley's
survey requirements is available upon request. Please note that this application is considered
incomplete without the submittal of a current property survey.
8. Please submit at least one current color photograph of the area affected by the proposed
variance. You may attach a printed photograph to this application, or you may email a digital
image to plannin�@�oldenvallevmn.�ov.You may submit additional photographs as needed.
To the best of my knowledge the statements found in this application are true and correct. I
also understand that unless construction of the action applicable to this variance request, if
granted, is not taken within one year,the variance expires.
I have considered all options afforded to me through the Cit�s Zoning Code, and feel that there
is no alternate way to achieve my objective except to seek a variance to zoning rules and
regulations.
I give permission for Golden Valley staff, as well as members of the Board of Zoning Appeals,to
enter my property prior to the public hearing to inspect the area affected by this request.
