F Consider variances for Michael and Kathleen Sorenson 16351 Albany Avenue SE. Donald R. Rye, Planning Director YES lNO June 10, 1996 INTRODUCTION: Michael and Kathleen Sorenson submitted an application for a building permit to construct a deck and screened porch on the subject site. Review of the permit application revealed that a variance would be required to construct the proposed addition. Subsequent to contacting the applicants, they submitted a variance application to the Planning Department. The proposed addition would have a front yard setback of 15 feet instead of 25 feet on Albany Street. DISCUSSION: The subject site contains a house which was constructed in 1966, prior to the annexation ofthis area from Spring Lake Township in 1973. The house had a deck at one time, which has since been removed by the applicants. The City's property management system does not contain a separate record of building permit for the deck. The subject site is narrow (50.04' wide) and substandard in area. As a comer lot it is subj ect to 25' setback requirements along Pleasant Avenue and Albany. Street. The applicable side yard setback is 10', which thus limits the buildable area on this site to a band 15' wide. The applicants propose an L-shaped addition which would be 24' deep at its widest point. At the front it would maintain the stepped-back building line of the existing house; at the side it would maintain the required 10' setback. Variance Hardship Standards: 1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect to the property. This criteria goes to whether reasonable use can be made of the property if the Ordinance is literally enforced. It also goes to whether the applicant has legal alternatives to accomplish their objectives without the requested variance. While the site is narrow, it would afford 15' for the construction of a deck on the subject property. The deck could 16200 fg~f~er~.&~S~. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER still extend 20' as proposed by the applicants. Thus, while the site is substandard, staff has concluded that the applicants have legal alternatives, and that this criterion is thus not met. 2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property . Because staff has concluded that their is no hardship, this criterion is de facto not met. 3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of actions of persons presently having an interest in the property. Any hardship is the result of design choices made by the applicants, rather than by the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. 4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest. Granting the variance will not have a substantial functional or aesthetic impact on the surrounding neighborhood, and is not viewed as contrary to the public interest. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the variance requested by the applicants, or approve any variances the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances. 2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose. 3. Deny the application because the Planning Commission finds a lack of demonstrated hardship under the Zoning Ordinance criteria. RECOMMENDATION: Because staff has concluded that the request does not meet the Ordinance criteria, staff recommends Alternative No.3, denial. ACTION REQUIRED: A motion adopting Resolution 96-23 PC denying the applicant's request for variance. 2 9648V APC.OOC/CC "~"",,,,,,,,,;,,,,,~~"'~"":-'20,.;ol'< . , ~ '..

CASE #96-048 VARIANCE REQUEST BY MICHAEL AND KATHLEEN SORENSON FOR A 10 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A FRONT YARD SETBACK OF 15 FEET INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 25 FEET FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DECK AND SCREENED PORCH; ON PROPERTY MN061096.DOC PAGE? LOCATED IN THE RI-SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND THE SD- SHORELAND OVERLAY DISTRICT IDENTIFIED AS 16351 ALBANY AVENUE. Planning Director Don Rye presented the information from the Planning Report. Staff concluded the Ordinance hardship criteria had not been met and recommended denial of the variance request. Comments from the public: Michael and Kathleen Sorenson, 16351 Albany Avenue, distributed handouts and pictures of their home. Mrs. Sorenson explained the existing deck is rotting and would like to replace it with a new deck and screened porch. She further explained the complications with the existing home and small lot. The Sorensons are doing an overall improvement to their home and are working hard to enhance their property. Jim Cates, 16390 Albany Avenue, explained the house was built in Spring Lake Township after WWII. The townships did not have setbacks or specific ordinances until the early 1960's. No one in the neighborhood objects to the development. He feels the Sorensons did a great job remodeling the rest of the house and would like to see them continue the improvements. Comments from the Commissioners: Wuellner: . The applicants lived in the house 14 years and did not create the problem. . The setback would run through the middle of his home. . The impact of building a new deck and porch is a reasonable proposal. It is a small substandard lot and have very limited options. . Supportive of request. V onhof: . Nice improvements to home. . Agrees with Wuellner. It is not a further encroachment on the existing structure. . The lot is unique and substandard. Hardship criteria has been met. . Supports proposal. Loftus: . Concurs with previous comments. Criego: . The garage was part of the original house. . The screened portion be attached to the house. The screened porch is 12' x 14'. . Impervious surface is not a problem. MN06I 096.DOC PAGE 8 . There is an alternative for a deck. The roof line may not match as far as the screened porch but they could meet the front yard setback. Open Discussion: Applicant is not encroaching to the road. Factor in the history back to 1956 under a different unit of government. The applicant is trying to make the home look pleasing. It is a unique piece of property on a comer and it is substandard lot. There is a natural hardship. The lot has a very reduced envelope. This is replacing an existing deck.

Hopefully the attached photographs will Illustrate for you our situation. When we purchased our home there was an existing deck which had the same frontage as our proposed new deck and screen porch. We recently removed the old deck which was rotting and had no footings. The new deck and screen porch Is part of a home improvement project we have been undertaking which Includes new siding which was Installed earlier this spring. Also the roof of the screen porch will follow the roof line of the house, using the same shingles, and be trimmed with the same siding that was Installed this spring. It will look like an original part of the house. The new deck and screen porch, coupled with the new siding, will enhance our property value and In turn add more tax dollars to the city. As the request for variance criteria address the Issue of hardship: Our sliding glass door will open to the screen porch - formerly it opened to the deck. This has always been used as our primary Ingress/egress to the house. This door has been In place over 23 years. Even If there were no structural complications, reconflguration and a new door would create significant expense. Since the old deck already had the same frontage as the proposed screen porch, granting our request for variance will allow us to continue our plans to improve and enhance our property and to enjoy summer evenings without pests. We feel that granting the variance WILL have a substantial functional and __~___ ___aesthetic Impact on the property and the surrounding neighborhood as Is supported by the attached letter signed by each of our neighbors. iii. cerely) I Ikv JljlJtm~ft '.' . -- ~ ,-- / ~/Jl.i )'" ( f. -'-I.I"r', ~/77' [ . \)0_'\1 .,' ._.t-:',1-~1 1-:-,.1- '\.- -' .,- ".'. ~-' 1..... ~.::..-. ..., ~ 'Michael Sorenson Kathleen Sorenson 16351 Albany Ave. S.E.
