Variance Request Application
2463 Black Lake Rd
PI D: 19-117-23-12-0026
Owners: Gregg and Carol Steiger
Existing Use of Property
Existing one car garage is structurally unsound so it needs to come down. The foundation is
broken and the structure is collapsing.
Nature of Proposed Use
Take the one car garage down and put a 2 car attached garage on the property to house 2
vehicles. Also use for additional storage.
Reasons to Approve Request
We bought this house in December of 2019. We fell in love with the charm and character of
the house along with being on the lake. We also realized it needed updates and general TLC
which we love to do. The one car garage was a definite issue that needed to be addressed.
After speaking with Dan Tolsma, City Administrator, there are 3 garage options to consider:
Option 1: Take down the existing garage and put another one up with the same footprint
Option 2: Apply for a variance to get permission to put up a 2-car garage (new 30 foot setback
rule)
Option 3: Take down the existing one -car garage and put a 2-car garage on the south side of
the property
Option 3 - There is a storm drain running through our property on the south side. After
consulting with a contractor, we are not willing to pay $22,000 to have it moved. It will also
take away green space, we'd have to take down multiple trees and it would take away from the
general character of the house. It would also directly impact our neighbor to the south and also
the neighbor across the street. We will not be pursuing Option 3.
Option 2 - By putting the 2 car garage in the front of the house, we won't be taking away any
green space and we will increase the value of the property. It makes sense to use the existing
area for a 2 car garage to maintain the character of the house and it won't have any impact on
our neighbors. We realize having a structure close to the rode is not ideal. We also realize that
not having a 2-car garage for a home owner is not ideal. We want to improve the property for
us, the neighborhood, the city and the future owners of this house.
Option 1— While this is not ideal, if the variance is not approved, we will build a new one -car
garage in the existing space.
We hope that you will consider Option 2 and approve our variance. Thank you!

RESOLUTION NO.20-14
CITY OF SPRING PARK
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
A RESOLUTION ADDRESSING VARIANCES FOR STREET SIDE SETBACK
LOCATED AT 2463 BLACK LAKE ROAD WITHIN THE CITY OF SPRING PARK
WHEREAS, Gregg and Carol Steiger have applied for street side setback
variances for the expansion of their home and garage at their property located at 2463
Black Lake Road in the City of Spring Park; and
WHEREAS, City Staff has reviewed submitted plans and prepared a planning
report dated April 23, 2020 and a revised planning report dated June 5; 2020 and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Spring Park held a public
meeting on May 13, 2020 to consider the application materials, the planning report of
April 23, 2020, and hear public testimony; and
WHEREAS. With a staff recommendation to deny the requested street side
variance per the plans dated March 14, 2020 based on the findings outlined in the April
23, 2020 planning report, the applicant requested that the public hearing be continued
to June 10, 2020 to allow them to investigate alternative garage designs and a lesser
setback variance request; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has submitted revised plans dated May 30, 2020 and
staff planning report dated June 5, 2020 outlined concerns with the revised plans and
again recommended denial of the request street Side variance as illustrated on the May
30,2020 plans; and
WHEREAS, the June 5, 2020 planning report offer an alternative garage layout
that would increase the street side setback significantly over existing conditions and
staff recommended approval of the alternative garage layout variances to the street side
setback; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing at their June
10, 2020 meeting and consider the June 5, planning report and City Engineers
comments and testimony of the applicants. Upon closing the public hearing the
Planning Commission made the following findings and recommendations for City
Council consideration
1. The requested variances illustrated in the plans dated March 14 and May 30 2020,
failed to meet Spring Park's criteria for variance approval as outlined in the April 23,
2020 planning report. These variances failed to receive a recommendation of
approval.
2. The Planning Commission made a second motion to approve a street side setback
of 7 feet between the northeast comer of the new garage to the east lot line and a
street side setback of 9 feet between the southeast comer of the new garage and
the east lot line subject to the conditions of the June 5, 2020 planning report and the
City Engineers recommendation to locate the water service shut off valve prior to
the building permit
The findings in support of the Planning Commission recommendation #2 include:
1. The current garage needs to be replaced due to the structural Issues. The single car
option will allow for the replacement of the garage and second story living space.
The design of the garage will offer more storage compared to the existing garage.
2. The expanded setback will aid in the City's future street and utility improvement
project for Black Lake Road.
3. The expanded setback will provide addition area for snow storage and better
protection for the new garage.
4. The southern orientation of the garage will eliminate the direct access and egress
into the garage; improving traffic safety along this very narrow street.
5. The increased street side setback improves on an existing legal nonconforming
condition that may be reestablished if the alternative variance in not considered.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Spring Park met on June 15, 2020 to
consider the variance application; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Spring Park agrees with the findings,
recommendations and conditions of the Planning Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IF RESOLVED, that the City Council of Spring Park,
Minnesota hereby denies the requested street side setback as illustrated in the site
plans dated March 14 and May 30, 2020 based on the findings outlined in the April
23,2020 and June 5, 2020 planning reports.
The City Council approves a variance for street side setback for a new garage and
second story living area of 7 feet for the northeast comer of. the new building addition
and 9 feet for the southeast corner of the new building addition measured between the
new building and the east lot line subject to the following conditions.
1. The applicant shall provide a survey or identify the property line monuments for the
east lot line to verify the requested setback variances prior to issuance of building
permits.
`A
2. The applicant shall submit a revised site and building plans that illustrates the single
garage design and site layout with confirmed lot boundaries and illustrating the
approved setback variances. Said plans shall be reviewed by City Staff for
compliance with the conditions of the approved variance.
3. All new exterior finishes shall match in color and material type to the existing home.
4. The applicant shall replace the hard cover between the garage and street with
landscaping or a pervious surface to reduce the percentage of hard cover on the lot.
5. Direct access onto Black Lake Road is prohibited; the garage must be accessed
from the south side of the garage with all access and egress movements occurring
on private property.
6. Applicant shall identify the location of the water service shut off valve on the site
prior to building permit. The water service shut off valve shall maintain a minimum of
2 foot setback from the new building addition to insure access and operation of the
valve by the city.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Spring Park this 15th day of June 2020.
