The Petition(s) are: 529 Burntside Drive Aaron Koski, Applicant Request: Waiver from Section 11.72 Fences, Subd. 3(A)(1) Front Yard Fence Requirements • 2 ft. taller than the allowed 4 ft, t�f height along a portion of the front yard (north) property line. Purpose: To allow for the construction of a fence. Morgan pointed out the property on a map and in aerial photos and explained the applicant's request to build a 6 ft. tall fence, rather than the allowed 4 ft., along a portion of his northern front yard. Morgan explained that this property has two front yards. One along Burntside Drive and one along the Highway 55 frontage road. She stated that that the primary access to the house is located on the east side of the property with a secondary access located on the west side of the property. She explained that the applicant's proposed fence will be in-line with the house and will enclose'all entrances into the house, increase privacy, and mitigate traffic noise. She added that if tMe property directly abutted Highway 55, the applicant could build a 6 ft. tall fence in the front yard by right. Morgan discussed the points of examination and stated that staff is recommending approval of the variance request because it proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner, the circumstances are unique to the property, and the variance would not alter the essential character of its locality. Perich asked if the entrance along the north side of the property was a second driveway. Morgan said yes. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals April 24, 2018 Page 2 Perich asked if a 6 ft. tall fence could run the entire length of the northern property line if a variance is granted. Zimmerman suggested that it be made clear in the motion that the variance if granted is only for the portion of the yard that starts at the west corner of the house and goes straight to the west property line. Aaron Koski, Applicant, said this is a unique house. He stated that the side yard is basically divided in half by an existing fence and shed which affects the play area and the size of the yard. He said he would like to install the proposed fence for privacy and noise mitigation and clarified that he is only proposing to install a 16 ft. section of fence from the west corner of the house to the west property line. Nelson noted that the unique circumstance in this case is the two front yards. Koski agreed and stated that they really don't consider that area along the west fo be a front yard:'Nelson added that the applicant did a good job explaining in his applicatian th� other options he's considered. Perich opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Perich closed the public hearing. Nelson said she is support of the requested variance because it is in harmony and consistent with City's Comprehensive Plan, it is a reasonable reguest, and the unique circumstance is that it is a corner lot on Highway 55. Orenstein agreed that this is a pretty straightforward request. MOVED by Perich, seconded by C7renstein and motion carried unanimously to approve the request variance to allow a fence 2 ft. taller than the allowed 4 ft. of height along a portion of the front yard (north) prope►ty fine, III.

The applicant is seeking the following variance from City Code: _ _.__ _ __ _ ' Variance Request City Code Requirement An additio�nal two feet in height in�excess Section � �� ���� w_._ ____ _.. .. _.�._. �.w.�, � W� 11.72, Fences, Subd. 3, Regulations by of the maximum four feet in height i Zoning District, A, Residential and Multiple ', permitted for a fence in the front yard, ' Dwelling Zoning Districts, 1: Fences in the front totaling a proposed height of six feet. '., yard shall not exceed four feet in height. Fences ' in the side and rear yards shall not exceed six feet ��'�� ; in height. _ _ _ Background • City Code does not permit fences above four feet in front yards in Residential districts to preserve the aesthetics and character of local neighborhoods. • The lot is approximately 12,880 square feet and zoned for R-1 Single-Family Residential use. • The lot has two front yards—located on the north and west sides. • Primary fa�ade of the property is on the north side; garage access is from the west. • The applicant has stated that a six foot fence is necessary for increased privacy along Kyle Place. Analysis tn 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 construction of a fence in the front yard constitutes a reasonable use of the property. 2. The landowners' problem must be due to circumstances unique to the property that is not caused by the landowner The property has two front yards. 3. And the variance, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality The proposed fence would alter the character of the property and the surrounding neighborhood. Other properties along Kyle Place face the street as the primary entrance to their properties and have open yards. The construction of a 6 foot fence in the front yard would look out of place and disrupt the openness of properties along Kyle Place. Additionally, staff assesses whether other options are available to meet the applicant's need and do not require a variance. Alternative options exist such as: • the applicant could build a 4 foot tall fence in their front yard • the applicant could build a 6 foot tall fence 35 feet from their western property line Both of these options would not require a variance and would help minimize the impact to the character of locality. Due to the impact a 6 foot tall fence would have on the character of the locality and the existing alternative options, staff does not support the need for a 2 foot height variance for the fence. Recommendation Staff recommends denial of the request for a variance of an additional two feet in height in excess of the maximum permitted four feet in height for a fence in the western front yard. :P�td�,, � .�.

Neighbor directly adjacent to property along Kyle Pl�e hasplanted treesand shrubson their property in an effort to increase privacy between their property and ours in a co� effective way. Discussions about a fence have already been oonducted with this neighbor and hastheir full support due to the maintenance required of the trees and shrubs. What is unique about your property and how do you feel that it necessitates a variance? Property currently allows unobstructed views and access into the home from Kyle Race creating a privacy and potential security issue. Explain how the need for a variance is based on circumstances that are not a result of a landowner action. Orientation of homes in neighborhood were determined at time of construction. Explain how,if granted,the proposed variance will not alter the essential character of your neighborhood and Golden Valley as a whole. Ae�hetics about the fence have been taken into a000unt for all residents in neighborhood. Fence will be con�ructed of cedar with the first 4' in height being full privac�r using 1x6 boards. The upper 2' will be oomprised of alternating 1x3 and 1x6 with 1-1/2" spacing between them creating an interesting and visually appeasing aesthetic while maintaining privac�r.

The applicant is seeking the following variance from City Code: ___ __ . __ ' Variance Request ` City Code Requirement An additional two feet in height in excess ;�. Section 11.72,�Fences, Subd. 3,'Regulations b � Y ' of the maximum four feet in height ; Zoning District, A, Residential and Multiple ' permitted for a fence in the front yard, Dwelling Zoning Districts, 1: Fences in the front �'�� totaling a proposed height of six feet. � yard shall not exceed four feet in height. Fences ' ; in the side and rear yards shall not exceed six feet ' ' in height. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ; Background • City Code does not permit fences above four feet in front yards in Residential districts to preserve the aesthetics and character of local neighborhoods. • The lot is approximately 20,501 square feet and zoned for R-1 Single-Family Residential use. • The lot has three front yards—located on the east, south, and west sides. • Primary entry onto the property is on the east side. • The applicant has stated that a six foot fence is necessary for containment and privacy, safety due to road frontage on three sides of the property, and in order to block the road(s) view. 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 construction of a fence in the front yard constitutes a reasonable use of the property. 2. The landowners' problem must be due to circumstances unique to the property that is not caused by the landowner The property has three front yards. The location of the house on the property causes the western front yard to look and act like a back yard. 3. And the variance, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality The proposed fence would not alter the character of the property. While the side of the property facing Legend Drive is technically a front yard it functions as a back yard, with the main entrance to the property on the east off of Indiana Avenue North. Additionally, staff assesses whether other options are available to meet the applicant's need and do not require a variance. Due to the unique circumstance of three front yards and the location of the house on the property, staff finds that a conforming four foot fence in the western front yard would not address the property concerns. Therefore, the applicant's request for a two foot height variance for their fence is a reasonable request in order to increase the privacy of the property as well as limit the road(s) view. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the request for a variance of an additional two feet in height in excess of the maximum permitted four feet in height for a fence in the west front yard. 2?ii --- 2135 2150 ,�30 2205 2200 42.10 220i 2121 21J0 4035 2201 L � _.i 4020 2272 (E:CIt"t`1',. . 4025 ` 2111 2110 _ 2200 � - 4010 4301 4241 �31 4221 2141 2105 2104 4015 2150 cr �i��,r� ..1�l.ir =. �, 4224 .... 2101 2700 4005 2130 a 4001 4210 2 400 • 4250 �40 � 2100 4320 20t1 d120 4110 4100 2080 A000 2040 39 0.125 °35 °24$ Subject Property 2�00 1940 1920 1910 1885 i I i I I � v I �,�.. zw v FUYe �,` � -- � ! � � �..� �''�, _ �� � " � i �F�� -� � � � i � �� t�? � . � _ � � �` d l . � \ .�.:: " ` " .. . .�. ...__ _ ��• � M^; .._ _� . � �'M ..\ '_.
