Chair Perich called the meeting to order at 7 pm. Those present were Members Maxwell, Nelson, Orenstein, Perich, and Planning Commission Representative Baker. Also present were Associate Planner/Grant Writer Emily Goellner, and Administrative Assistant Lisa Wittman. I. Approval of Minutes— September 27, 2016, Regular Meetirrg MOVED by Nelson, seconded by Orenstein and motion`c�rried 4 to 1 to �pprove the September 27, 2016, minutes as submitted. Commissioner Baker �k�stained. II. The Petition(s) are: 1350 Boone Avenue North Adrian Mov, Applicant Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11 (A)(1) FrontYard Setback Requirements'` • 0.8ft. off of the reguired 35 ft. tc� a distance of 34.2 ft. at its closest point to the front yard (west) property line. Purpose: To allow for the construction of a second story addition. Request: Waiver from Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11 (D) Side Wall'Articulation • Any wall longer than 32 feet in length must be articulated, with a shift of at least 2 feet in t�epth for at least 8 feet in length. The applicant is requesting a variance from'this regulation to build a second story addition with side walls 38'-1" in length with no articulation. Purpose: To allow for the construction of a second story addition. Goellner explained the applicant's request to build a second story addition on the existing home. The proposal requires variances from the front yard setback requirements and the articulation requirements. Goellner referred to a survey of the property and explained that the existing footprint of the house won't change. The existing house is located 34.2 feet from the front property line at its closest point which is also the requested variance for the proposed second story. She discussed the Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals October 25, 2016 Page 2 articulation requirements of the side walls and stated that the applicant would like to build the second story addition without any articulation. Goellner noted that the applicant stated that the unique circumstances include the lack of living space, the desire to grow their family but stay in the same home and neighborhood, and that it is a reasonable request that will increase their property value. Goellner stated that staff is recommending approval of the variance from the front yard setback requirement because the location of the existing home was not cause�l by the landowner and that the minimal amount requested would not alter the character ofi'the locality. She stated that staff is recommending denial of request for na articulation because there is not a unique circumstance, nor a practical difficulty, the situation is caused by the landowner, and it will alter the character of the loc�lity. Baker asked if the fireplace chimney would constitute articulation. Gaellner said it would if it jogged out 2 feet for a distance of 8 feet. Baker asked if a bay windvw could also constitute articulation. Goellner said yes. Nelson asked if installing bay windows would then require variances from the side yard setback requirements. Goellner stated that bay windows and chimneys are allowed in the setback area. Maxwell noted that the drawings submitted are from a variance request 20 years ago and that there were no requirements for articulation back then. Perich asked when the house was built. Adrian Moy, Applicant, said it was built in 1963. Moy showed the Board a model ofi the ha�se with the proposed second story addition and stated that he appreciates the taay window suggestion. He said their family is growing and they love the neighborhoad and don't want to move. He stated that the plans submitted are from when his fiather-in-law received approval to build a second story addition but didn't end up dc�ing it. He clarified that they are not proposing to build the fireplace or stair addition shown on the plans and that a "bump in" doesn't feel natural. Maxwell stat�d that the articulation can go in or out. Moy said he didn't realize the 2 feet of articulation could bump out. He added that he thinks a square house with no articulation would be more aesthetically appealing so he would rather not articulate the side walls. , Maxwell questioned the unique circumstance in this case that is not caused by the landawner. May stated that the existing house is already 38 feet long and he feels that is the unique circumstance and that articulation would be outside of what is natural. Nelson explained that the Board tries to be consistent with the variances they grant. Maxwell stated that a variance for 1 foot or 1.5 feet of articulation might be an option instead of no articulation. Baker reiterated that a bay window would not need a variance. Moy asked if the articulation could be a combined 8 feet. Baker said he thinks that would be a different variance request. Maxwell agreed and said they'd have to see a proposed design. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals October 25, 2016 Page 3 Moy asked the Board if any of them are against square walls. Baker stated that the Board is not for or against the proposed design, the Board's job is to enforce the requirements in the Zoning Code. Perich opened the public hearing. Gary Box, former resident of 1350 Boone Avenue North, said he received a variance in 1987 for a second story addition, but he never built it. He said he is disturbed by the requirement for articulation because the impression of the language in the Zoning Code is that the articulation can only go inward. Baker stated that a cantilever�d space would count as articulation as well. Shannon Moy, 1350 Boone Avenue North, asked if there has to be articulatior�`on both side walls. Maxwell said yes. Mrs. Moy said she is worried about r�sale because she thinks articulation would look ridiculous and will hurt the value af their home. �lelson said she doesn't think adding articulation would hurt the value of their horne' Baker asked if the applicants came back with a variance request afi'6 feet of articulation instead of the required 8 feet, if that is something the Boartl would consider. Maxwell said yes. Mrs. Moy said they would have to compl�tely re-do their plans in order to have a random bump-out. Goellner noted that small side yard variances have also been granted in order to meet the articulation requirernent. Theresa Reina, 1330 Boone Avenue North, said she would not like her neighbor to put in a bay window on the side of their house:because she would then be looking directly into their window. She said right now the $pace between the houses is small and she thinks it is incorrect to say articul'ation won't hurt their home's resale value. She questioned why the Board would want the applicants to have such a large window looking right at the neighbor. She said she would like to keep the house square because it wouldn't take away space between the homes that are already close together. She questioned if the required bump-out could be in the front instead. Nelson stated that there are no articulation requirements for front walls. Michelle Trafias, 1619 Aquila Avenue North, said she used to live in southwest Minneapolis where the houses were similar to this area and one of the reasons they moved to Golden Valley is because people in her former neighborhood were expanding their houses upward and the variances they received to do that made them odd and aesthetically unpleasing. Also, a chimney bump out or a bay window bump out looks odd. She stated'that a square house amongst others is aesthetically pleasing. Goellner referred to the plans submitted and noted that they show a staircase bump out and a chimney bump out, which if made wider would meet the articulation requirements. She said there appears to be enough room on the lot to add something that will meet the articulation requirement without the need for a variance from the side yard setback requirements. Mr. Box asked if articulation in the middle of the side walls would work. Goellner explained that in order to not require a variance the articulation would have to be 8 feet Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals October 25, 2016 Page 4 in length. Box asked if the bump out could include a closet or a bathroom. Maxwell said yes, and added that a different proposal could be submitted asking for a smaller articulation as well. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Perich closed the public hearing. MOVED by Orenstein, seconded by Maxwell and motion carried unanimously to approve the variance request for 0.8 ft. off of the required 35 ft. to a distance of 34.2 ft. at its closest point to the front yard (west) property line to allow for the con�truction of a second story addition. Perich said he looks at the existing house as a square that was not caused b� the current landowner. He said he thinks it is weird to bump out the second floor and not the first floor. He added that there are a lot Qf options the app(icant cauld explore, but he thinks the requested variances meet the criteria the Board us�s when considering variance proposals. Nelson said she is struggling with the criteria regarding th�e need f�r a variance not being caused by the landowner. She said she feefs that the applicants need to explore other options and explained that this is a large var�ance request and that the Board needs to be consistent with what the Zoning Code says. Perich asked if the Board has been consistent with second floor varian�es. Ma�vell said yes. He said they have granted smaller variances in the past, but agreed #h�at this a large variance request without submitting plans to review. He stated that applicants usually try to explain why they can't meet the Zoning Code requirernents or they show other options they've considered. Baker said he understands the articulation requirements because there are a lot of situations in the City that have the`opportunity for long, straight walls that are not aesthetically pleasing. He added that when done right, it can be aesthetically pleasing to have articulation and he''thinks it's a good rule to adhere to. Maxwell explained to th� applicant that they could table their request in order to explore other options. Mr. May said he would like to table their request. Mrs. Moy stated that their original plans had bump-outs for the stairs and the chimney but they were told by the City that they could not have them because they would be too close to the side yard property Iines. Goellner stated that if the bump-outs were too close the side yard property, lines then they would probably need variances from the side yard setback requirernent. M:rs. Moy said she was confused as to why she wasn't told any of this. MOVED by Maxwell, seconded by Perich and motion carried unanimously to table the variance request regarding articulation to the November 22, 2016, Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.

Since the previous meeting, staff has had conversations with the applicant but has not received updated plans or information. Because the applicant has not made alterations to the submitted plans or had time to explore alternatives, staff recommends tabling this variance request until the next meeting. �:.i�� -Y � � r I�'h�s�c�1lJ�evel�►p�n+�nt I��p�rtmen-� 763-593-81?951?+�3-593�8109(�ax) Date: November 22, 2016 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Planning Intern Subject: 6300 Olson Memorial Highway Golden Valley Investors, LLC, Applicant Introduction Glenn Bergman, representing the owners of the property at 6300 Olson Memorial Highway, is seeking a variance to make legal a non-conforming front yard setback created by the construction of the Luce Line Regional Trail and the pending reconstruction of Douglas Drive. The applicant requires a variance from: • Section 11.36, Industrial Zoning District, Subd. 6(A) Yard Requirements: For any premises abutting a public street, front yard setbacks shall be at least 35 feet from the right-of-way line of said street. All front yard setbacks shall be maintained as landscaped green areas. Background • The property at 6300 Olson Memorial Highway is zoned Industrial. • The Zoning Code requires the front yard setback be maintained as landscaped green area. • The Luce Line Regional Trail, which parallels Douglas Drive, replaces approximately 10 feet of width of landscaped green area with pavement for a length of approximately 660 feet. • The upcoming reconstruction of this portion of Douglas Drive in 2017 will result in the installation of a new sidewalk which will also replace landscaped green area with 10 feet of pavement for a length of approximately 360 feet. • The existing lot is nonconforming due to the City of Golden Valley obtaining additional right of way where landscaping previously existed. • The variance will bring the existing landscaping and parking lot into conformance. Section 11.90, Administration, Subd. 4(B)(5) of the Zoning Code indicates that when the City, Hennepin County, or the State of Minnesota creates or worsens a nonconforming setback, the property owner shall be entitled as a matter of right to obtain a variance from the nonconforming setback. The proposal requires a variance from the following section of City Code: Section 11.36, Industrial Zoning District, Subd. 6(A) Yard Requirements: For any premises abutting a public street, front yard setbacks shall be at least 35 feet from the right-of-way line of said street. All front yard setbacks shall be maintained as landscaped green areas. The Applicant is requesting a variance from the required 35 feet of landscaping required on the front yard abutting Douglas Drive. Analysis The Zoning Code indicates that the applicant is entitled as a matter of right to obtain a variance due to a nonconforming setback created by the action of the City, Hennepin County, and Three Rivers Park District. The Board of Zoning Appeals must grant this variance request. Conclusion The Board of Zoning Appeals must grant this variance request in accordance with Section 11.90, Administration, Subd. 4(B)(5) of the Zoning Code. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the request from the required front yard landscaping requirement of 35 feet on the front yard (east) property line abutting Douglas Drive. ---.._ -----Jcr vvv�— _____..,—�.._._..__. --- __—-- --- 6537. � �t4 ' 6731� 304 2��6539 h 01 ��y,/�67394- 3� .. � ' � f�t��`�` 6739 � 304 301 3� • • 304 303 ,---- ,,.�.,,. • _.., • \ � : .,. . ,.,,. , .� .. ,�, ry. ._. ,.. � .. _. .��:.. � ,ilu '.»fa' - 6190 c6188 } -:-;�`� �Ir`� r.Ic,� .-�� 618 6� 4 y j ss1s4 � .: =:: • .: ' � : i- a18�E F1Qo. ;N t�.'.: , Subject Property � � �-. � Nau,s��a��, .�;.�,;,�_,.»: �„ '!' � 6158fi156� 6176 *'° 52 �.i 6 .

The applicants are seeking the following variance from City Code: • 9 feet off the required 30 feet to a distance of 21 feet at its closest point to the front yard (north) property line. Background • The lot at 1136 Welcome Circle is approximately 15,500 square feet (.36 acre) and zoned for single-family • The existing home is 35 feet from the front (north) property line • The proposed deck is 135 square feet • The applicants could construct a 25 square foot landing without a variance • The applicants state the property is unique because of the wedge shape of the lot and the split-level home with a tuck under garage • The applicants state the front steps are crumbling beyond repair, and they would like to build a deck as they renovate the landscaping and stairs to the home • The applicant notes that the proposed deck is low and will not interfere with views • The proposed deck is multi-tiered from the driveway to the home, which the applicant prefers for a safer entrance and will allow them to watch their children play to ensure safety The proposal requires a variance from the following section of City Code: Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 11(A)(1) Front Yard Setback Requirements: The required minimum front yard (north) setback requirement is 30 feet for decks. The Applicant is requesting a variance of 9 feet off the required 30 feet to a distance of 21 feet at the closest point. Analysis 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: 1. The property owner must propose to use the property in a reasonable manner The owners propose to build a deck in the front yard of the home. The use is permitted under the Code and constitutes a reasonable use of the property. 2. The landowners' problem must be due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the landowner The applicant states that the size and shape of the lot and the existence of a one-story home with a tuck-under garage are unique circumstances. Additionally, the applicant notes that the existing stairs to the home are crumbling and they would like to build a deck when they replace the stairs. Unique circumstances are defined by the League of Minnesota Cities as "physical characteristics of the particular piece of property, that is, to the land and not personal characteristics or preferences of the landowner." Sloping topography or natural features like wetlands are unique circumstances. Staff finds that the shape of the lot and existing home are not circumstances unique to the property. The existing home does not constitute a unique circumstance because the lot has significant buildable area. 3. And the variance, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality The proposed deck would change the existing setback and it would alter the character of the locality, as other homes in the area have small open front porches or concrete steps. Conclusion The request does not meet all points of examination required for a variance.
