Christopher P. Snow 2421 Black Lake Rd. Spring Park, MN 55384 Spring Park City Administrators Spring Park, MN 55348 Subj: Variance Request; Case of 2421 Black Lake Road, Chris Snow City Planners, October 16, 2002 I respectfully ask approval of this request and offer this addendum to further explain this variance request and to add clarification for my building plans. This request seeks two variances to city building requirements, one is the 30' requirement from my property line (Street/roadway). And the other is a 10' variance from an adjacent property line. 30' from Street/road way - The physical structure of my house is 30' from the established (existing) roadway, however only a few feet from my property line. I seek to build the new garage on line with my current house structure (which is 30' from the roadway). Because the actual roadway (asphalt) does not boarder on the property lines in my neighborhood, it seems that all houses in the neighborhood (at least on my side of the block) are not in compliance with this requirement (see picture #1). 10' from adjacent property line — My proposed new double garage (20') requires a variance to this requirement. New construction as planned would place this structure within 5' of the neighbor's property line and 7' from their housing structure. The placement of the proposed garage on my property allows for fire department access for both properties. Additionally, the alignment of my house structure and garage will be on line with that of my neighbor's house and garage (places three or four houses on line). My neighbors approve of this variance and in fact needed one on the south side of their property when they added their garage. The double garage is required due to the steep slope of my side yard (from street, heading to the lake and which requires a volume of fill to be able to construct), hindering my ability to park vehicles or to be creative with a design.

Snow A Mam#d Va4inke4vie , .hoc. 2415 Wilshire Blvd. Mound, Minnesota 55364 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Bill Weeks — City Administrator Spring Park Greg Pederson — Fire Chief 2421 Black Lake Road Variance Request November 7, 2002 RECEIVED NOV - 7 2002 CITY OF S1=. PK. As per your request, I have reviewed the variance request summary and visited the property site at 2421 Black Lake Road. I have summarized my thoughts and concerns as follows: General • In the event of a major fire emergency on Black Lake Road, the use of our aerial ladder truck would be unlikely at best. The narrow roadway and close power lines create a significant challenge for aerial ladder truck operations on this roadway. • Due to the above mentioned aerial ladder truck issues, the use of ground ladders for firefighting, second floor rescue, and roof ventilation would be the next best option. • Access to the lake side (west side) of the residences must be adequate for transporting ladders, fire hoses, and equipment. Obviously we must go between and around the structures. • The construction of the addition at 2421 Black Lake Road does potentially cause an exposure problem with the residential property directly south. In the event of a major fire, the 7 feet between the houses does cause some concern since the distance between structures is minimal. Conclusion and Recommendation • 1 believe that the five foot building set back would not cause significant problems for firefighting, access, and normal activities if the following issues are addressed. o The chain link fence on the northwest corner of the lot at 2421 should be either remove or have a larger gate opening added. Firefighters would likely use this route to access the lake side of house(s) carrying hose lines and ladders. The existing chain link fence (with no gate) clearly inhibits access. 4,� o Remove the two trees between 2421 Black Lake Road and the residence just south. These two trees restrict access to the lake side and would clearly interfere with ground ladder operations between the two houses. If the above recommendations can be implemented, then fire protection issues and safety concerns would be resolved. Respectfully, {� Gregory S.

This site exists as a legal lot of record and has sewer connections. The home is currently non -conforming with regard to the north side yard setback and the setback from the street. ' Please see Exhibit B. Mr. Snow would like to build a two car garage on the south side of his. house, extending within five feet of the neighbor's property line. Additionally, the garage would. . extend, within 15 feet of the public right-of-way for Black Lake Road, Mr.. Snow has requested a variance from the front yard setback as well as the south side yard setback allowing for the two car garage_ ISSUES ANALYSIS Front Yard Setback. Section 3, Subd. E.6 of the Spring Park Zoning Ordinance states that where adjacent structures within the rsame block have setbacks from a street different from those required, the minimum setback from the street shall be the average of the setbacks of the adjacent structures fronting on such street. In the case of Mr. Snow's property, the adjoining properties have setbacks less than the required R-1 setback of 30 feet. Because Mr. Snow's property; as well as the adjoining. neighbors, have a lesser setback.that what is required within the R-1 District, the average. of the setbacks would apply. In this case, it does not appear that Mr. Snow requires a setback variance from the front yard, as it is. allowed by ordinance. The proposed garage addition is set back further from the street than his home and is in line with the adjoining neighbor's property. No variance would be required in.this case. OCT-29-2002 14:53 NAC 612 595 9837 P.02i08 Side Yard Setback. Currently, the home at 2421 Black Lake Road is a non- conforming structure in that..it does not meet the required side yard setbacks along its north property line. Section 3, Subd. B.7 of the Spring Park Zoning Ordinance allows for lawful non -conforming single family structures to be expanded to improve the livability and/or utility provided the structure is not expanded into the required setback areas. The applicant could build a single car garage and comply with required setbacks without need for variance. However, the applicant is pursuing a five foot setback variance to accommodate a 20 foot wide two car garage. In our review, a 20 foot two car garage would be the minimum practical width for two stall garage. In considering the variance, Section 7, Subd.. B.2 outlines criteria that must be demonstrated, as follows: a. Special conditions and circumstances which exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved which are not applicable to other land, structures, or buildings in the same district. 11. Special conditions may include exceptional topography or water conditions in the case of existing lot or parcel of record, narrowness, shallowness, or shape of the property. 2. Special conditions and. circumstances are not primarily economic in nature. Comment: In examining Mr. Snows request, we find that his lot does not offer a number of alternative building sites. A fifty foot setback from ordinary high water level of Black Lake, as well as steep slopes to the west of the building prohibit expansion in this direction. Setbacks off the street right-of-way limit potential for garages forward of the house. Expansion south of the existing home., is the only logical expansion area for the home. b. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the applicant of the rights commonly enjoyed by property owners of other properties in the same district under the terms of this ordinance. Comment: We believe that.a garage in Minnesota is a reasonable use of the property and should be provided for within the range of the City ordinances. The variance of five feet would allow for a minimum 20 foot, two car garage on .the site. The Planning Commission should make a determination whether a two car garage is reasonable use of the property in. relationship to the requested side yard variance. 2 SCT-29-2002 14:54 NAC 612 595 9837 P.03i08 C. Special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. Comment: In this case, the desire to place a two car garage mandates the need for the five foot setback. The Planning Commission must make a determination as to whether a two car garage is reasonable use of the property. If that finding is made, then the five foot setback seems to be warranted. d. Granting the variance request shall not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other land, structures, or buildings in _ the same district_ Comment: Garages are inherent with single family homes and are a reasonable use in consideration of _Minnesota climate. We believe that some building expansion is warranted as a means of promoting private reinvestment in the Spring Park single family areas. Again, the Planning Commission must make a determination. whether the two car garage represents a reasonable use of the property. Other Conditions. In examination of the variance request, we do not believe that the attached garage will cause any additional congestion on the public streets, that the reinvestment in the home should result in appreciation of the home and adjoining properties.. We believe that building expansion in these areas is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the suggestions for promoting reinvestment in the existing housing stock of Spring Park. . One issue that we do have with the requested five foot building setback off the south property line is the separation between the proposed garage and the home to the south would be only seven feet. This setback should be examined by the City's Fire Chief to determine whether adequate access is provided between the buildings to provide appropriate fire protection. CONCLUSION In our examination of the variance request for 2421 Black Lake Road, we find that requested front yard setback is not necessary due to conditions already outlined in the ordinance that allow for flexibility where other properties are set back closer to the street than the required R-1 setbacks. In considering the side ,yard setback variance, the Planning Commission and Council must make a determination as to whether the garage represents reasonable use of the property. A single car garage could be constructed on the site. without any variance in compliance with the 10 foot setback required in the R-1 District, however, if the Council and Planning Commission find that a 20 foot, two car. garage would better 3 OCT-29-2002 14:54 NAC 612 595 9837 P.04i08 accommodate the needs of the applicant and be in keeping with the City's Comprehensive Plan policies for .promoting reinvestment in its single family housing stock, then the five foot setback may be . justified on the basis of lot configuration, topography, and reasonable use. If you have any further questions, please contact me at your convenience. 4 CITY OF SPRING PARK SPRING PARK, MINNESOTA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING VARIANCE APPLICATION NOTICE is hereby given that the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Wednesday November 13, 2002, at 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible at the Spring Park City Hall, 4349 Warren Avenue, to hear comments on a request for a variance of a 16 foot street side variance and a 5 foot side yard variance to construct a garage.
