Chair Nelson called the meeting to order at 7 pm. Those presentwere Members Nelson, Orenstein, Perich and Planning Commission Representatives Angell and Brookins. Also present were Planning Manager Jason : Zimmerman, Planning Intern Amy Morgan, and Administrative Assistant Li�a Wittman. L Approval of Minutes— June 26, 2018, Regular Meeting MOVED by Perich, seconded by Orenstein and motion carried unanimous)y to approve the June 26, 2018, minutes as submitted. II. The Petition(s) are: 4325 Golden Valley Road Brittanv Owen, Applicant Request: Waiver from Section '11.72 Fences, Subd. 3(A)(1) Front Yard Fence Requirements • 2 ft. taller than the allowed 4 ft. of height along the front yard (west) property line. Purpose: To allow far the construction of a fence. Morgan referred to a Iocati�n ma�and aerial photo of the property and explained the applicant's propc�sal to build a 6 ft. tall fence in the front (west) yard along Kyle Place. She stated that the Zoning Code allows fences in front yards to be 4 ft. in height and added that this property has two front yards with the primary access to the house located on the north side of the property. Mor�an noted #hat the applicant has stated that the unique circumstances in this case are that the property has two front yards and there are privacy and potential security issues. Morgan stated that staff feels that the proposal is reasonable and the circumstances unique to the property are not caused by the landowner. However, staff is recommending denial of the requested variance because a 6 ft. tall fence would impact the character of the locality as there no other properties in the area that have fences in the front yard. She added that there are alternative options in this case as well. A 4ft. tall fence could be built in the front yard, or a 6 ft. tall fence could be built at the 35 ft. setback along the west property line. Perich asked about the reasoning behind only allowing 4 ft. tall fences in front yards. Zimmerman said he thinks the reasoning is that the City does not want walls created in front yards and in some cases there could be visibility issues. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals July 24, 2018 Page 2 Brookins asked if the driveway location makes a yard a front yard, or if it is a front yard because it is along a street. Zimmerman stated that all properties along street right-of-way are considered to be front yards. Angell asked about the distance from the house to the west property line. Morgan said it is 45 ft. from the house to the west property line. Nelson asked what the fence requirements would be if the west side of this property was considered to be a side yard. Morgan said a fence in a side yard can be 6 ft. in height. Nelson asked the applicant if she has considered any alternatives. Brittany Owen, Applicant, handed out additional photos of her property and a list of neighbors' signatures stating they are supportive of the proposed fence. She explained that she will lose approximately 1,200 square feet of the yard if they build the fence at the 35-foot front setback`and th�fi she has dogs so she is concerned about them jumping over a 4 ft. tall fence. She stated that the area along the west constitutes to them a back yard. She added that the main r�ason for building a 6 ft. tall fence is privacy because there is a bus stop at the corner of her property. She stated that the day before she purchased this house her real esta#e agent told her that someone was trying to gain access to the house sc� she is also concerned about safety. Nelson asked the applicant if it was always her intent to build a fence. Owen said yes, and explained that she didn't realize the west side of the property was considered to be a front yard. Nelson opened the public hearing; Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Nelson closed the public hearing. Nelson said she is sympathetic with corrrer lots and this request seems reasonable because the west side of the property'feels 'Iike a side yard, but she is concerned about the character of the neighborhood with a 6 ft. tall fence in the proposed location. Perich agreed and said he is'struggling with the precedent they would be setting. He said that he would feel better about the request if a taller fence was proposed along Golden Valley Road instead. Angell agreed and noted that there are many corner lots in the City. He stated that the proposed fenee could be moved back 35 ft. and there would still be a large fenced in area. Brookins said he is also sympathetic with corner lots and the topography in this case, but he agrees that approving this proposal might set a precedent. MOVED by Brookins, seconded by Perich and motion carried unanimously to deny the request to allow a fence 2 ft. taller than the allowed 4 ft. of height along the front yard (west) property line. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals July 24, 2018 Page 3 2081 Indiana Avenue North Mark Neal, Applicant Request: Waiver from Section 11.72 Fences, Subd. 3(A)(1) Front Yard Fence Requirements • 2 ft. taller than the allowed 4 ft. of height along the front yard (west) property line. Purpose: To allow for the construction of a fence. Morgan referred to a location map and aerial photo of the property and explained the applicant's proposal to build a 6 ft. tall fence in the front (west) yard along Legend Drive. She stated that the Zoning Code allows fences in front yards to be 4 ft. in height and added that this property has three front yards with the primary access to the �ouse located an the east side of the property. Morgan noted that the applicant has stated that the unique circumstances in this case are that the property has three front yards and that the western front yard looks and acts like a back yard. She added that staff is recommending approvaf of the requested variance due to the unique circumstance of having three front yards and the location of the house on the property. The applicant's request is a reasonable request in order to increase privacy and limit road views, and the requested 6 ft. tall fenc� will not change the views or character of what is already there. Brookins asked how far away the curb is from`the west property line. Morgan stated that there is approximately 9 ft. of right-of-way`between the curb and property line along Legend Drive. Mark Neal, Applicant, stated'that he recently purchased this house. He said he has dogs, there are safety concerns, and that a 4 ft. tall fence might not contain children or dogs. He added that there are also additional safety concerns because there are three ground level doors on the baek of the house so he wants to make his back yard safer. Nelson asked the applicant if he has considered other alternatives. Neal stated that the only other alternati�� would' b� to build a fence that wouldn't meet his needs. Nelson asked the applicant when he purchased the house and if it was always his intent to install a fence. Neaf said he bought the house five months ago and he intended to install a fence and use the area to the west as a backyard as it was meant to be. Perich asked the applicant if he considered building a 6 ft. tall fence at the 35 ft. front setback line instead of where he is proposing. Zimmerman noted that this proposal is different from the previous proposal because this property has a considerably smaller area to build within and this property has three front yards. Nelson added that there also aren't any other houses around this one. She stated that this request is similar to the previous request, but the size of the yard and the impact to the neighborhood is not as large. Minutes of the Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals July 24, 2018 Page 4 Nelson opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Nelson closed the public hearing. Orenstein stated that the orientation of the house and having three front yards is unique, and the fence is not obtrusive so he is supportive of the variance request. Angell agreed that having three front yards is unique and that the envelope they have to build a fence in is smaller than in the previous proposal. Perich agreed that this is a reasonable request. MOVED by Perich, seconded by Orenstein and motion carried unanimously fiQ approve the variance request to allow a fence 2 ft. taller than the allowed 4 ft. of height along the front yard (west) property line. 111.

Nancy Nelson, Chair Lisa Wittman, Administrative Assistant �;��� c��� , : � ��ysi�cal I�+��+�1o�m+e��t T}e�aar��rn+�nt ���-���-��������-���-����c���� Date: August 28, 2018 To: Golden Valley Board of Zoning Appeals From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer Subject: 2145 Brunswick Avenue North Grant Tsuchiya, Property Owner Introduction Grant Tsuchiya, owner of the property at 2145 Brunswick Avenue North, is seeking a variance from the City Code to reconstruct an existing deck on his property. The applicant is seeking the following variance from City Code: Variance Request ; City Code Requirement �The applicant is requesting a variance of I Section 11.21, Single Family Zoning District, Subd. 5.5 feet off the required 12.5 feet to a ` 11(A)(3), Side Yard Setback Requirement: the distance of 7 feet at its closest point to the = minimum side yard (north) setback requirement is side yard (north) property line. � 12.5 feet. Background • The lot is approximate 27,440 square feet and zoned for Single-Family Residential use. • The lot has a width of 87 feet, which requires a minimum 12.5-foot side yard setback. • The existing deck was built by a previous owner and does not adhere to the side yard setback requirement. • The existing deck is 7 feet from the property line (north). • The existing deck is 21 feet long and 8 feet wide, totaling approximately 168 square feet. • The applicant would like to reconstruct the existing deck on the north side of the house and will not be expanding the current footprint. 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. In order to constitute practical difficulties: 1. The property owner must propose to use the property in a reasonable manner Replacing the existing deck is 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 Although the current deck does not adhere to side yard setback requirements, it was built by a previous owner and therefore not caused by the current landowner. 3. And the variance, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality The reconstruction of the deck will not alter the essential character of the locality since the deck already exists and the new deck would be in the same location. Additionally, staff assesses whether other options are available to meet the applicant's needs without requiring a variance. In order to keep the deck where is currently is, a side yard setback is required. A new deck could be built in the rear yard instead, but a doorway already exists to the existing deck on the side of the home. Lastly, staff assesses whether the proposal requests the smallest variance necessary to meet the applicant's needs. Reducing the footprint of the current deck to fit within the side yard setback would cause the deck to be unusable. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the request for a variance of 5.5 feet off the required 12.5 feet to a distance of 7 feet from the side yard (north) property line. ___ V � � ' - —� 22ao ����7br�<�k Rci V1�estl�io��k F;d � 6155 6125 6101 2200 2210 Subject Property: 2145 Brunswick Ave. N.

The applicant is seeking the following variance from City Code: E _ Variance Request ! City Code Requirement � �������� ���� ����� ' Section 11.35, Light Industrial Zoning District, Subd.� The a licant is re uestin a variance of � 6, Yard Requirements: (C) (3) required side and rear pp a g ! yard setbacks shall not be less than twenty feet in 10 feet off the required 10-foot setback to � ' a distance of 0 feet from the side (south) i depth. (4) One-half(0.5) of the required side and = rear yards, as measured from the lot line, shall be ' property line. � landscaped, planted, and maintained as a buffer � zone. _ _ _._ �. : Background • The lot is 49,761 square feet and zoned for light Industrial use. • The building was constructed in 1967. It includes office and warehouse space. • The applicant would like to resurface the parking lot while keeping the footprint unchanged. • The existing parking lot is 0 feet from the property line along a portion of the south property line. • The applicant states that 52-foot semis access their parking lot daily and use the existing space in order to back into the loading docks. • The applicant is working with staff in the Engineering Division of the City in order to meet stormwater management requirements. Various levels of parking lot improvements could trigger various stormwater management requirements. The applicant is aware that these requirements could impact the cost and complexity of the project. 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. In order to constitute practical difficulties: 1. The property owner must propose to use the property in a reasonable manner A parking lot is 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 current parking lot is non-conforming. It was constructed by the previous property owner. 3. And the variance, if granted, must not alter the essential character of the locality The proposal would not alter the essential character of the locality since the footprint of the parking lot would not change with the resurfacing. The investment in new asphalt will improve the visual character of this property. The parking lot to the east and south, operated by Jewish Family and Children's Services and PRISM, was recently reconstructed. Additionally, staff assesses whether other options are available to meet the applicant's needs without requiring a variance. The applicant could adhere to the required 10-foot side yard setback; however, this would not allow enough space for their trucks to access the loading docks. Lastly, staff assesses whether the proposal requests the smallest variance necessary to meet the applicant's needs. Reducing the footprint of the current parking lot to fit within the side yard setback would cause the loading docks to be unusable by this business and likely any future business requiring loading docks. Recommendation Staff recommends approval for a variance of 10 feet off the required 10-foot side yard setback to a distance of 0 feet from the side (south) property line. 6�22 5800 5820 �,��-'� 6082 6132 5»y 5840 r"� � � x- 6092 5920 6072 �''�' Subject Property: sszs e,oz 1250 Zane Ave N -- - � 6062 5845 5905 6000 6100 � �a\1 e'1 F� Go�der 1250 �� 6200 1 6005 6161 z� r,:.,:...,...... ... �,. �S 1114 t9 BU11C1117 J B �T 'T7 G l0 '� �.
