Case 96-123
PC denied variance request due to lack of
hardship. Applicant sought to construct a 1500
sq. foot detached garage.
Building permit issued for an "attached" garage of
1500 sq. Feet. The new garage is "attached" by
means of a "covered walkway".
Applicant applied for building permit to expand
the 1500 sq. foot garage by 300 sq. feet (25 by 12
foot addition).
Staff conducted a site inspection. Found that part
of the "covered walkway" had been removed.
Regardless of that, staff s interpretation of the
ordinance is that a "covered walkway" does not
warrant the garage to be attached. An enclosed
breezeway or other habitable space would be an
acceptable attachment.
Conclusion of City Attorney is that the permit
issued in 1985 appears to have been issued
erroneously, and there is no basis to argue that the
city must perpetuate the error and to permit the
expansion of a use that appears unlawful.
Applicant appeals the decision of the Zoning
Officer not to approve the permit application.

OF A DECISION OF THE ZONING OFFICER
RELATING TO DETACHED ACCESSORY
STRUCTURES
JANUARY 21, 1997
AGENDA #:
PREPARED BY:
REVIEWED BY
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this item is to consider an appeal of John
Craig of the decision of the Zoning Officer to deny a permit
application to construct a 300 square foot addition to the
existing detached garage on the property. Mr. Craig filed
this appeal in accordance with the provision of Section 5-6-
1 of the City Code. He requested that this item be deferred
for consideration until this meeting.
BACKGROUND:
Mr. John Craig owns property located at 2855 Spring Lake
Road, which includes a single family dwelling with an
attached double garage and a 1,500 square foot detached
garage. The following is a chronological history of the
garage.
. 9-5-85 The Planning Commission denied a variance
request due to lack of hardship. The applicant had
sought to construct a 1,500 sq. foot detached garage.
. 11-7-85 A building permit was issued for an "attached"
garage of 1,500 sq. feet. Administratively, the garage is
indicated to be "detached" on the permit application.
The new garage is considered "attached" by means of a
"covered walkway".
. 1 0-23-96 The applicant applied for building permit to
expand the 1,500 sq. foot garage by 300 sq. feet (25 by
12 foot addition).

. 10-25-96 Staff conducted a site inspection and found
that part of the "covered walkway" had been removed.
Regardless of that, staff's interpretation of the
ordinance is that a "covered walkway" does not render
the garage to be attached. There is no definition of the
terms "attached" or "detached" in the City Code,
resulting in conflicting interpretations. Staff is of the
opinion that the adequacy of an enclosed living area or
other habitable space (as defined in the building code)
would render the garage "attached" . We believe this to
be the general accepted definition.
. 11-13-96 The conclusion of City Attorney is that the
permit issued in 1985 appears to have been issued
erroneously, and there is no basis to argue that the city
must perpetuate the error and to permit the expansion of
a use that appears unlawful.
. 11-26-96 The applicant appeals the decision of the
Zoning Officer not to approve the permit application.
DISCUSSION:
The staff report to the Planning Commission concluded that
the 1,500 sq. foot garage is detached, and hence non-
conforming. Under City Code, non-conforming uses
cannot be expanded. The majority of the Planning
Commission also agreed that the garage is detached, non-
conforming, and thus cannot be expanded.
The Planning Commission reviewed this appeal on
December 9, 1996, and voted 3 to 2 to recommend that the
City Council uphold the decision of the zoning officer.
ISSUES:
The primary issue is whether or not the 1,500 square foot
garage is detached. Staff and the Planning Commission
agree that the structure is detached, and thus non-
conforming and cannot be expanded. The issuance of a
building permit for the structure appears to have been
wrongfully issued.
The applicant contends that when the permit was issued in
1985 it was legally obtained and that the garage was
considered "attached" then, and it should still be considered
"attached" now so that the proposed addition can be
constructed.

IN THE MATTER OF AN APPEAL OF A DECISION OF THE ZONING
OFFICER RELATING TO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, CASE NO. 96-123, AND
DENYING THE REQUEST TO EXPAND A NON-CONFORMING USE FOR JOHN
CRAIG ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2855 SPRING LAKE ROAD
MOTION BY: SECOND BY:
WHEREAS, the Prior Lake City Council conducted a hearing on the 7th day of January,
1997, to act on an appeal by John Craig of the Zoning Officer's denial of a
request to expand the size of a detached, non-conforming accessory structure
for property legally described as Lots 3, 4 and 5, Block 48, Plat of Spring
Lake Townsite; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the existing 1,500 square foot garage is not
considered attached to the principle structure by means of the "covered
walkway", and is thus non-conforming according to the Accessory Structure
standards of Section 5-5-2 ; and
WHEREAS, the proposed addition to the 1,500 square foot garage does not meet the Non-
Conforming requirements of Section 5-1-1 (A) ofthe City Code, and;
WHEREAS, the appellant has not set forth adequate reasons for overturning the decision
of the Zoning Officer; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has recommended the City Council uphold the
decision of the Zoning Officer:
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL YED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE:
FINDINGS
1. John Craig appealed the decision of the Zoning Officer relating to the proposed expansion of
an accessory structure considered to be non-conforming as described in Section 6.1 (A) and
6.2 (A3) of the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit a 300 square foot addition of a detached
accessory on property located in the R-l (Suburban Residential) District and the SD
(Shore land Overlay) District at the following location, to wit;
2855 Spring Lake Road, legally described as Lots 3,4, and 5, Block 48, Spring Lake

2. The Planning Commission reviewed the appeal as contained in Case File #96-123, held
hearings thereon on December 9, 1996, and recommended upholding the decision of the
Zoning Officer.
3. The Prior Lake City Council reviewed this appeal on January 21, 1997.
4. The City Council has considered the effect of overturning the decision of the Zoning Officer
upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values
in the surrounding area and the effect of the appeal on the Comprehensive Plan.
5. On September 5, 1985 the Planning Commission denied the applicant a variance permitting a
1,500 square foot detached accessory structure. The applicant built the structure after
obtaining a permit on 11-7-95. A "covered walkway" was used to "attach" the proposed
garage to the principle structure.
6. On October 23, 1996 a building permit application was received from the applicant which
included a 300 square foot expansion to the 1,500 square foot garage. Staffs interpretation
of the ordinance, is that the "covered walkway" does not attach the garage to the principle
structure. The existing garage is thus, non-conforming and cannot be expanded.
7. Upholding the decision of the Zoning Officer does not allow the construction of an addition
to the 1,500 square foot garage, as proposed on this property.
8. The contents of Planning Case File #96-123 are hereby entered into and made a part of the
public record and the record of the decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the City Council hereby upholds the decision of the
Zoning Officer and concurs with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and considers
the 1,500 square foot garage to be detached and thus non-conforming prohibiting the proposed
addition to the structure.
Passed and adopted this 21st day of January, 1997.

there is a future addition, it could cause an impervious surface problem. Suggested
keeping the garage closer to the house rather than moving it toward the street for
future developments. .
. Agreed the hardship was not met regarding the additional garage size.
MOTION BY WUELLNER, SECOND BY VONHOF, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 96-
38PC.
Discussion: Motion was to move the garage one foot closer to the street making the
distance 43 feet and not approve the 872 sq. foot garage, based on lack of a hardship.
Concerned the applicant is aware of the future addition problems. Mr. Lemke said he
was aware of the situation but felt the garage is the present need. He is aware if the
garage was attached it would not be an issue but this is the only way he can work it out.
Vote signified ayes by Wuellner, Vonhof, Criego and Kuykendall. Nay by Stamson.

CASE #96-123 JOHN CRAIG APPEAL OF A BUILDING PERMIT.
Planner Jenni Tovar presented the staff report.
Section 5-6-4 of the City Code provides for an appeal process from decisions of the
Zoning Officer. The Planning Director is the Zoning Officer in Prior Lake. In
September of 1995, the Planning Commission denied applicant's request for a variance
based on the lack of demonstrable hardship. In August of 1985, Mr. Craig applied for a
variance to permit a 1500 sq. ft. detached accessory structure (garage). The ordinance in
place at the time allowed for a detached accessory structure to be up to 800 sq. ft. in area.
Even though the Planning Commission denied Mr. Craig's variance, Mr. Craig submitted
a building permit application for the detached garage of 1500 sq. feet. The building
permit was issued on November 7, 1985 and a 1500 sq. foot detached garage was
constructed. It is the staff s understanding the building permit was issued based on the
premise the new garage (1500 sq. feet) would be attached to the principal structure.
Therefore, maximum area would not be an issue unless it exceeded the 30% impervious
surface standard. Upon review of the permit application, it appears a "covered walkway"
was accepted as means of "structurally" connecting the proposed garage with the existing
house.
The definition of structure has not changed since the original adoption of the Zoning
Ordinance in 1983.

Mr. Craig applied for a building permit for various additions to his residence and garages,
one of which is a 12' x 25' addition to the 1500 sq. foot garage.
A site inspection revealed part of the "covered walkway" had been detached from the
principal structure. Furthermore, the covered walkway is not actually covered. It is a
trellis type fencing covering the walkway, but still open to the sky. The applicant claims
to have removed deteriorating parts of the walkway in preparation of the construction
activity.
Regardless of the removal of the "covered walkway", staff's interpretation of the Zoning
Ordinance is the 1500 sq. foot garage must be structurally attached to the principal
structure (existing house) by habitable space in order to be considered an "attached
garage", and thus allowed to be expanded. A "covered walkway" open to the sky does
not warrant the 1500 sq. foot garage to be considered structurally attached. An
acceptable attachment would be in the means of habitable space.
Comments from the public:
Attorney Jim Bates, represented Mr. and Mrs. Craig in the matter. He felt if the structure
was conforming when the building permit was issued it could be expanded without a
variance and is permissible to make this expansion. The staff looked back at a permit
issued in 1985 and disagreed with the interpretation of the ordinance. Craig's variance
was denied. Mr. Craig later discussed the plans with the Planner and applied for a
building permit. The permit was signed off and Mr. Craig built his garage. Mr. Bates
went on to explain Mr. Craig removed part of the walkway in anticipation of building the
addition. Furthermore, he did not find any mention in the ordinance requiring the
attachment to be inhabitable. In the spring of this year, Mr. Craig submitted preliminary
plans to staff. Bates handed out pictures of the property and a copy of a letter from
former planner Michael Leek dated May 1, 1996. Craigs worked out their problems and
assumed their plan was acceptable. He feels staff is disagreeing with a mistake made in
1985. The building permit was properly granted in 1985, the situation nor the ordinance
has not changed. It is a conforming structure.
Comments from the Commissioners:
Stamson pointed out the building permit issued in 1985, is clearly marked "detached
garage". Mr. Bates feels it was a mistake presumably by the building official.
Kuykendall:
. Horst Graser, Island View Circle, said the issue in 1985 was controversial. The
variance request went before the Planning Commission and was denied. Mr. Craig
revised his plans with a covered walkway attached to the house. He recalls the issue
was subject to a number of meetings between staff and the City's attorney. Ifit was
constructed as revised it would meet city standards. This was the subject of
MNI20996.DOC

considerable discussion by staff. It was a mistake on the building permit stating it a
"detached garage".
. Rye explained staff read the ordinance different than they did 10 years ago. Further,
the attachment is not there.
. Supports applicant because the attachment was taken down. The intent was there.
. It does not meet design standards of today.
. This is not a model - at the time, it was the intent.
Criego:
. Tovar explained the definition of "structure". Staff does not have a definition of
"detached" in our ordinance. Rye said definition of "detached" is common
knowledge.
V onhof:
. Difficult looking back at what happened. After listening to testimony and reading the
report, a permit would not have been issued if not for the intent.
. This would not fly today under our definitions. At the time it was acceptable.
. City records have not been complete in the past and have caused a lot of problems.
There was very minimum documentation.
. Favor the applicant based on the testimony.
Stamson:
. Rye clarified staff's interpretation.
. This is a detached garage. A walkway is not an attachment. The trellis is a covering
of the walkway and does not constitute as an attachment. It was a mistake as given. It
should never have been issued and by adding on would perpetuate a mistake.
. Regardless of what everybody remembers, someone on staff documented the garage
as "detached". What is written, is binding.
. Staff did consider it a detached garage in 1985 and should not be added on to.

Wuellner:
. Agreed with Stamson. At one point in time, by virtue of creative negotiation this was
considered to be an attached garage by someone's standards. There is a legal building
permit stating it is detached.
. Both parties admit there were mistakes.
. The mistake allowed Mr. Craig to enjoy a 1500 sq. foot garage for 11 years. Ifwe
allow this mistake to continue we are setting a precedent. A walkway is not an
attachment, nor does the City want it to be. It has to be inhabitable space. The
ordinance will have to be amended so this will not happen again.
. The Commission does not have to allow him to add on because someone made a
mistake 11 years ago.
Criego:
. Agrees with Wuellner and Stamson. The interpretation 11 years ago was not correct.
. We are not asking applicant to remove the garage, just stating he cannot add to it.
. Agreed with staff.
. The City Attorney told staff they could force the applicant to take down the garage.
Kuykendall:
. Needs Building Code definition of "detached" and "attached".
MOTION BY STAMSON, SECOND BY WUELLNER, RECOMMEND TO CITY
COUNCIL TO UPHOLD THE RULING OF THE CITY ZONING OFFICER IN
REGARDS TO THE APPEAL OF JOHN CRAIG.
Vote taken signified Criego, Wuellner and Stamson, nays Kuykendall and V onhof.

This appeal will go to City Council on January 6, 1997.
B. CASE #96-122 ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH CONDITIONAL SIGN PERMIT.
Jenni Tovar presented the staff report. An application was submitted by St. Paul's
Lutheran Church and School, requesting a sign permit in order to locate an illuminated
sign within the R-l District. The proposal is to construct a 12' x 8' monument sign
which has external lighting. In the spring of 1996, a storm destroyed an illuminated sign
located on the top of the hill facing T .H. 13. The proposed sign is a replacement sign on
the hill facing T .H. 13.
Comments from the public:
Tom Trishe, 4950 Credit River Road, representing the Church, stated they wanted to
meet city code and propose to use the existing lights from the previous sign.

YES l NO-N/A
DECEMBER 9, 1996
Section 5-6-4 of the City Code provides for an appeal process from decisions of
the Zoning Officer. The Planning Director is the Zoning Officer in Prior Lake.
The attached letters dated October 29, 1996 (Exhibit A) and November 14, 1996
(Exhibit B) were sent in response to a building permit application made by John
Craig on October 23, 1996. A letter of appeal was received from the applicants
attorney on November 26, 1996 and a copy is attached (Exhibit C).
DISCUSSION:
Section 6. 2 (A) of the Zoning Ordinance relating to accessory structures states
"In R-1 Residential areas, accessory structures shall not exceed the
coverage ratio of the principal structure or the maximum of eight
hundred thirty-two (832) square feet, whichever is less."
If the garage is attached to the principal structure, then there is no restriction on
size.
September 5, 1985 See attached minutes (Exhibit D), variance application
(Exhibit E), and staff report (Exhibit F).
Planning Commission denied the applicant's request for a variance based on the
lack of demonstrable hardship. In August of 1985, Mr. Craig applied for a
variance to permit a 1500 square foot detached accessory structure (garage).
The ordinance in place at that time allowed for a detached accessory structure to
be up to 800 square feet in area.

November 5, 1985 See attached permit application (Exhibit G).
Even thought the Planning Commission had denied Mr. Craig's variance, Mr.
Craig, none the less, submitted a building permit application for the detached
garage of 1500 square feet. The building permit was issued on November 7,
1985 and a 1500 sq. Foot detached garage was constructed. It is the staffs
understanding that the building permit was issued based on the premise that the
new garage (1500 sq. feet) would be attached to the principal structure.
Therefore, maximum area would not be an issue unless it exceeded the 30%
impervious surface standard. Upon review of the permit application, it appears
that a "covered walkway" was accepted as means of "structurally" connecting the
proposed garage with the existing house.
The definition of structure has not changed since the original adoption of the
Zoning Ordinance in 1983. It reads:
Anything constructed or erected, the use of which requires a fixed
location on the ground or any attachment of something having a
fixed location on the ground, including, in addition to buildings,
billboards, carports, porches, and other building features but not
including sidewalks. drives, fences and patios.
October 23, 1996 See attached building permit application (Exhibit H).
John Craig applied for a building permit for various additions to his residence and
garages, one of which is a 12' x 25' addition to the 1500 sq. foot garage.
October 25, 1996 See attached photographs (Exhibit I).
A site inspection revealed that part of the "covered walkway" had been detached
from the principal structure. Furthermore, the covered walkway is not actually
covered. It is a trellis type fencing covering the walkway, but still open to the sky.
The applicant claims to have removed deteriorating parts of the walkway in
preparation of the construction activity.
Regardless of the removal of the "covered walkway", staffs interpretation of the
Zoning Ordinance is that the 1500 square foot garage must be structurally
attached to the principal structure (existing house) by habitable space in order to
be considered an "attached garage", and thus allowed to be expanded. A
"covered walkway" open to the sky does not warrant the 1500 square foot
garage to be considered structurally attached. An acceptable attachment would
be in the means of habitable space such as an enclosed breezeway or
residential living space.

November 13, 1996 See attached memo (Exhibit J).
Staff memorializes discussions with the City Attorney with the conclusion being
that the 1985 permit appears to have been erroneously issued and there is no
basis to argue that the city must perpetuate the error and permit the expansion
of a use that appears unlawful.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend to the City Council that it uphold the staff interpretation of the
ordinance.
2. Recommend to the City Council that it accept the appeal and find that
expansion of the 1500 square foot garage is in compliance with City Code
provisions.
3. Defer action on this request for specific reasons.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative NO.1.

Motion and second expressing the opinion of the Planning Commission.

Mr. John Craig
2855 Spring Lake Road
Prior Lake, MN 55372
Re: Building Permit Application #96-636
Dear Mr. Craig,
Upon review of a recent building permit application for structural additions on your
property, the planning department has a couple of issues that need to be resolved before
we can sign off and approve your building permit. Current City Ordinances require a
certificate of survey with all improvements shown thereon, as part of the application for
building permit.
The survey you submitted is dated 11/5/85 with revisions made 3/11/96 to showasbuilt
improvements. The proposed additions appear to be drawn upon that existing survey by
someone other than the registered land surveyor who provided the original survey. In
order for the planning department to approve of your additions, the improvements
must be shown on the survey, as drawn by a registered land surveyor. This insures
that the setbacks are correct, the size of the additions are to proper scale, and the
impervious surface calculations are updated.
The proposed addition to the 50 foot by 30 foot detached garage is not permitted. The
maximum size of a detached accessory structure is 832 sq. feet, see attached ordinance
copy. Upon reviewing the history of the original permit for the construction of this
accessory structure, it became apparent that the permit was issued on the basis that it was
part of the principle structure. The city recently made a visit to the site to determine if
this was still the case. It appears that there is no structural connection/relationship
between this building and the residential dwelling (habitable structure). Therefore, we
consider this garage to be a detached structure. The existing structure is nonconforming
because it exceeds the maximum allowed square footage of accessory structures. We
cannot issue a permit that would be in direct violation of City Ordinances.

The other proposed additions to the principle structure meet the requirements of the
zoning ordinance and are thus acceptable. This is assuming that the impervious surface
coverage on the lot with the proposed additions does not exceed 30 percent.
Please be aware that the building permits review is on hold until all issues are resolved.
If you should have any questions, you can call me or Don Rye, Planning Director at 447-

RE: BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Craig:
Your building permit application, dated October 23, 1996, for a garage and house
addition has been denied for the following reasons:
1. The proposed detached garage would be over the maximum of 832 square feet per
City Code 5-5-2:(A)3.
2. A Certificate of Survey depicting the structure setback from the ordinary high water /
mark (909.11). V
We believe there were several portions of this project that are allowable under the
current City ordinance. If you would like to separate the various proposed additions, a
permit could be obtained for the majority of your proposed project. Please feel free to
contact me at 447-4230, Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., in regard to
your options.
Sincerely,
Paul Bau gartner

Re: John Craig -- Building permit application #96-636
Dear Mr. Rye:
This letter is intended as John Craig's notice of appeal to the Board of
Adjustment from the denial of the above referenced building permit, contained in a
letter of November 14, 1996 from Paul Baumgartner to Mr. Craig. The ground of the
appeal is that the existing "detached" garage was properly granted a building permit in
November 1985 after consideration by both the city planner and city attorney, as an
attachment to and a part of the principal structure, namely the Craig's house, and is
therefore a conforming structure that may be expanded. I have spoken with Horst
Graser and Glenn Kessel, the city planner and city attorney in 1985, who both recalled
the case and stated to me that they made this determination after review of the proposed
plans and the applicable Prior Lake ordinances, which to my understanding have not
changed since that time. Following the principle that zoning ordinances must be strictly
construed so as to be least restrictive on the property owner's desired use, it seems to
us the city's previous interpretation of the ordinance to allow the building to be built in
1985 should be dispositive of the situation. I further note that as recently as May 1996,
Michael Leek wrote Mr. Craig approving of his proposed expansion, after consultation
with the city attorney.
Without waiving any rights to pursue the pending appeal, but in the interest of
pursuing an amicable resolution of the matter, we request that the planning, engineering
and building departments inform us of what modifications to the existing area between
the house and garage would, in the city's opinion, render the garage properly attached
to the principal structure so the proposed expansion could be constructed. Enclosed are
Mr. Donald R. Rye

November 26, 1996
photocopied pages from the plans originally submitted to the city in applying for the
1985 permit, showing the deck with pier footings, covered in part by a trellis which is
attached to the house and garage. I am copying this letter to Jenni Tovar in the
planning department and Paul Baumgartner in the building department, and ask that if
further information is needed they contact either me or John Craig. Thank you.

Date: November 13, 1996
To: Don Rye, Planning Director
Suesan Lea Pace, City Attorney
John Craig File
From: Jenni Tovar, Planner ~
Subject: Summary of conversation with Suesan Lea Pace (11/13/96)
regarding the interpretation and legalities of proposed
additions.
The following conclusions are in respect to Building Permit application #96-636 from
John Craig.
1. The new attached garage appears to meet setback requirements (exact setbacks not
indicated on survey). Subject to reviewing a survey from the applicant and assuming
all setback requirements are met, , the conversion of the existing attached garage into
living space (exercise room) is acceptable. The new entry way appears to be
acceptable. The exact setback for the entryway are not on the survey.
\
\
2. The proposed spa room (NE of eXimsi. ttached garage) must be setback a minimum
of 50 feet from the OHWL which i 909.1 EL. A variance was granted for in 1978
(case V AI978-0004) from the 75 foo. WL setback. The revised survey must
indicate this.
3. The proposed addition to the detached garage (50 by 30 foot garage) is an expansion
of a use that appear illegal. City code permits an 832 sq. foot detached garage and the
applicants garage is 1500 sq. Feet. The applicant was denied a variance to construct a
1500 sq. Foot detached garage (case V A85-I8). The applicant appears to have been
issued a building permit erroneously, and thus the building was illegally built. The
city does not have to perpetuate the mistake. Because the structure appears to have
never been legal to begin with (never attached to the principle structure with a
structure meeting the definition of structure), it cannot be expanded.

Mr. John Craig
2855 Spring Lake Road
Prior Lake, MN 55372
Dear Mr. Craig,
The city received a letter of request to continue your appeal relating to. attached/detached
accessory structures (Case 96-123) on January 6, 1997 and on January 17, 1997. Your
original request of appeal of the decision of the Zoning Officer was dated November 26,
1996.
Generally, the city has sixty (60) days to make a decision regarding Planning and Zoning
related applications. Due to your requested extensions, the city will not be able to make a
decision on Case #96-123 within that time frame, and is therefore extending the time to
make a decision regarding this issue by sixty (60) days.
This is a formality, and will not delay the review of your appeal any longer than you
requested. If you have any questions please call me.
Sincerely,

RE: Inquiry by John Craig, 2885 Spring Lake Road SW, Prior Lake, Minnesota,
regarding proposed additions to existing garage
Dear Suesan:
On October 23, 1996 the planning department received an application for a building
permit from Mr. John Craig for property located at 2855 Spring Lake Road. Apparently,
in May 1996, there had been some question as to what proposed additions the applicant
could proceed with. Attached is correspondence relating to that.
The question we now have is in regards to Item 3, of a letter to Mr. John Craig from R.
Michael Leek dated May 1,1996. The letter states that an expansion of the 30' x 50'
"attached garage" would not constitute an expansion of a non-conformity. The basis for
this, I believe, is that the garage was considered to be attached to the principle structure
by means of a covered walkway, thus eliminating any area limitations.
After receiving the building permit application, a site inspection was conducted on
October 25, 1996. The inspection revealed that the "covered walkway" attaching the
garage to the principle structure was not in place. Therefore, a building permit cannot be
approved because the garage is now detached, with a maximum allowable size of 832
square feet.
Our question is, can we allow the applicant to rebuild the "covered walkway", and if so
would this permit the now detached garage to be attached? Our interpretation of the
ordinance is the following:
1. The "covered walkway" is not considered to be an acceptable means of attaching
the 1500 square foot garage to the principle structure. If the applicant wants it to
be considered attached, then it must be attached by means of a structural
connection. An enclosed area (such as a breezeway) is acceptable. The city's

definition of structure is attached. It includes additions to buildings, porches and
carports, but not sidewalks, patios, and fences.
2. The section of the ordinance pertaining to non-conforming uses is attached.
Section E allows for normal maintenance and non-structural repairs to be
permitted. It appears that the applicant has removed about 10 feet of the "covered
walkway" entirely. We would consider this to be a structural repair/alteration,
and thus not allowed on non-conforming uses.
In summary and in our opinion, we cannot issue a permit for the proposed addition
because it was not attached at the time of application for a building permit. Therefore,
today it is non-conforming. If the applicant rebuilds the attachment, it must meet today's
standards (definition of structure i.e. enclosed breezeway, not a walkway) to be
considered conforming.
I have spoken to Jim Bates, the applicants attorney. I indicated to him that all of the other
proposed additions appear to be acceptable, without full review. I encouraged him to
apply for a separate building permit for the other proposed improvements. The only issue
we disagree on is the "attached/detached" garage and if the applicant can rebuild the
connection that permitted him to consider the garage to be attached, but would not be
acceptable under today's ordinance.
Any input regarding the issue would be helpful.
Sincerely,
~J fU-W

Re: John Craig -- Building permit application #96-636
Dear Ms. Tovar:
This letter concerns an aspect of your letter to John Craig dated October 29,
specifically the third paragraph. You have taken the position the 50 x 30 garage is a
detached structure and therefore a nonconforming use which may not be expanded. We
strongly disagree.
You note that the original building permit for the structure was issued because the
physical connection to the house, by means of a deck (on pier footings) and covered
walkway, made it part of the principal structure. Michael Leek's letter of May 1, 1996
(paragraph 3) reinforces this. Therefore the building was a conforming use from November
1985, when the original building permit was issued, until at least May 1, 1996.
When the city inspected the site recently, two posts and about 3 feet of the deck and
the walkway covering had been removed. Craigs tell me that about 3 to 4 weeks ago, in
preparing for the construction work, they discovered that these areas had deteriorated to an
unsafe condition and needed to be replaced. Since they needed to be removed anyway to
provide access for construction equipment, Craigs intended to replace these sections at the
conclusion of the project. Such minor repair of this structure is no more and no less than
maintenance of a conforming structure. We respectfully request that you reconsider your
position, perhaps after consultation with the city attorney, so the building permit can be
expeditiously issued. If you would like affidavit or other evidence to establish when and
why the walkway and deck sections were removed, kindly let me know.

Re: John Craig
Dear Mr. Rye:
This is to confirm our conversation of this afternoon in which you indicated that
constructing the IIspa area" on the northwest side of Mr. Craig's house, in the corner
nearest the southwesterly lot line, rather than on the southwest (lakeward) side as
originally planned, will be allowed without the necessity of a variance, and that he may
go ahead and apply for his building permit to do this and the other two items Mr. Leek
had previously approved. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter.

Dear Mr. Bates:
I am in receipt of your letter of May 9, 1996. As I indicated in my previous letter, I have
reviewed the case files related to this property in detail and with the city attorney. I do
not find anything in the files which leads me to the conclusion that an additional variance
is not required for the proposed spa addition. Nor do I find the 2 reasons set forth in your
letter compelling.
If your client, Mr. Craig, is aggrieved by this interpretation he may appeal it. Appeals
should be submitted in the form of a letter addressed to the Planning Director, Donald R.
Rye. Once submitted the appeal would be reviewed by the Planning Commission (Board
of Adjustment) and the City Council.
Should you have any further questions feel free to address them to either Mr. Rye or
myself.
Very truly yours,

Re: John Craig
Dear Mr. Leek:
This letter is written in reference to yours of May 1, which concerns three
additions John Craig wishes to make to his property. You have determined that two of
the three comply with city ordinances and we would like the city to consider the
following information with respect to the third, that is, the proposed spa area.
Your letter indicates that the existing porch exceeds the variance originally
granted for construction of the house in 1978, and is therefore nonconforming. We
think it does not exceed the original variance and that therefore the proposed spa area,
if it is no closer to the lake than the porch is, would not be an expansion of a
nonconformity. There is a recent Minnesota Court of Appeals decision addressing this
legal issue, and a copy is enclosed.
There are two reasons we believe the existing porch is within the terms of the
original variance. First, according to the Planning Commission minutes of April 6,
1978, the original house was approved for "a 25' variance from the lakeshore setback,"
which was 75 feet. This language can be read in two ways, either that Mr. Craig was
approved to build 50 feet from the lake (75 minus 25), or that he was approved to build
25 feet from the lake. We think the facts compel the latter conclusion. In reviewing
the enclosed survey you will note the main house is approximately 38 feet from the
lakeshore, 12 feet closer than a 50 foot setback. Also, the porch is 28 feet from the
lake, and Mr. Craig reports that the original drawings submitted with the variance
application showed a porch or deck in the same location as it was actually built, and
that the original deck was built and approved at the same time as the original house
construction. Mr. Craig also recalls that one significant factor in establishing hardship
for purposes of the variance application was the presence of a number of mature trees
....
R. Michael Leek
Page 2
May 9, 1996
on the lot, requiring him to build closer to the lake to avoid destroying those trees.
Although the trees succumbed to Dutch elm disease, the remains of one tree are still
visible on the lot. He remembers further that one reason stated by the Planning
Commission for granting the original variance was that the few other residences in the
area were similarly close to the lake and that therefore the proposed house and deck
would be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
The second basis for concluding the original variance allowed a building 25 feet
from the lake shore is the approval in 1990 of a building permit for the porch, without
the need for a variance. The only conclusion we can draw from issuance of that permit
was that the planning and building departments concluded the porch would be within
the area of the original variance as allowing construction up to 25 feet from the OHW;
the only other conclusion is that the building department made an error in issuing the
permit and, for that matter, in approving the original house construction in 1979.
We respectfully request that you review the situation again based on this
information. If you have other questions or require further information, please contact
us or John Craig. Thank you.

Mr. John Craig
2855 Spring Lake Road
Prior Lake, MN 55372
Dear Mr. Craig:
I have reviewed your proposed additions with the City's attorney, Suesan Pace. Her
conclusions/direction is as follows;
1. By virtue of the porch being closer to the OHW than the original house, and
having been constructed without benefit of a variance beyond that originally
granted for the house, the porch is non-conforming. The proposed spa area
would thus be an expansion of that non-conformity. Thus, a building permit
could not be issued for the proposed spa addition unless you were successful
in obtaining a variance for the proposed spa addition. It appears to me that a
request for variance for this addition would not be reviewed favorably because
the hardship criteria for granting variances would not, on initial review, appear
to be met.
2. It appears that the proposed 2-car attached garage would meet Ordinance
requirements and restrictions, and you would be able to proceed under a
properly issued building permit without further variance proceedings.
3. The proposed expansion of the 30'x 50' "attached" garage would not
constitute an expansion or enlargement of a non-conformity, and could also
proceed under a validly-issued building permit.
The comments above assume the accuracy of the impervious surface coverage calculation
of 22.9%, including the proposed additions is correct. I hope this clarifies the issues
related to your proposed additions.
Very truly yours,

!be applicant stated that cc.nstruction of the garage is necessary to
jn;>rOlTe the aesthetics of the neigh1::orhood by enclosing personal
belongings which are presently exposed to the elements and viewed by

PRIOR LAKE PLANNING ADVISORY CO~f!.IISSION
"pril 6, 1978
The meeting of thc April 6, 1978 Prior Lakc Planning Commi5~ion was
called to order by Chairman Thorkelson at 7:30 PM. Members present
'were Commissioners' Cav! 11, Speiker, Johnson, Counei lman Busse and City
Planner Graser.
The minutes of the March 16, 1978 Planning Commission were motioned for
approval by Johnson seconded by Speiker and upon a vote taken were
approved as published.
Mr. Graser stated toat he would like to add an item to the agenda. Motion
was made by Cavill t~ discuss 0 proposed subdivision for Carlson & Carlson
at 10:30 PM seconded by Speiker and upon a vote taken motion carried.
First item on the agenda was a subdivision discussion for Mr. Dick Schwartz.
Mr. Schwartz is proposing to develop the Vic Schroeder 24 acre farm. Mr.
Graser gave a presentation siting low areas, grade problems and access to
Eagle Creek Avenue. Mr. Schwartz stated that he was in agreement with Mr.
Graser's proposal as to the driveways not fronting on ragle Creek Avenue
(County Road 21) . Questions were raised on the i.,terceptor easements, lake
access, soil comr~ction from the interceptor and total number of lots. The
overa!l view of the Planning Commission was that the plan looked feasible
and the developer was asked to continue working with staff to work out
any additional problems.
Next item on the agenda was a variance application for Mr. George Borgerding.
A 63 foot lakeshore setback variance and an 8 foot front yard variance are
requested for lot 9 and the south 42 feet of lot 10, North Grainwood. The
proposal is to remove the existlng buildings and replace it with a year-
round home. Mr. Graser gave a description of the parcel inovlved. Motion
was made by Speiker to grant the variance due to the fact that the new
dwelling will encompass the old building envelope and it is a unique lot
and will be a permanent, year round home. Motion was seconded by Cavill and
upon a vote taken, motion carried.
Next item on the agenda was a Home Occupation Permit application forMt'o
Bruce Langevin. Mr.. Langevin is proposing to construct light, two wheel,
horse drawn carriages at his place of residence, 16078 Cambridge Circle SE.
The parcel is zoned R-l. Planner. Graser gave a brief description of the
request and Mr. Langevin then stated that he has an air conditioning unit'
and extra soundproofing in the garage. He also stated that the noise does
not bother his wife who is~iate1yabove him in thE' house. A petition
was then given to the Chairman with 16 signatures of the neighbors in
opposition to the home occupation permit. Cavill motioned to deny the
home occupation permit because of opposition of the neighbors and the
occupation is not in compliance with the ordinance. Motion was seconded
by Johnson and upon a vote taken i.IOtion carried.
THE'CENTER:OFLAKE COUNTRY
Next item, on the agenda was a public hearing for Brooksville Hills 5th
Addition. The rezoning request is from R-l, single family to R-2 urban
residential. Nr.Graser presented staffs reconanendations and considerations,
which ir.cluded: a) The parcel had at one time been considered for duplexes,
b) the impact on Brooksvillc Hills 3rd would be lessoned since the homes
directly across Franklir. Trail would be facing Franklin Ci:""c1e, c) a
rezoning would not result fr"m a new residential pattern, d) the relation-
ship between Franklin Trail, a collector street and the subject parcel is
accepted by the public, e) lots must have ha~erhead drivew~ys. The
Planning Commission discussed these points during which time the public
had the opportunity tQ provide input. Motion was made by Cavill to grant
the rezolling as requested by staff seconded by Johnson and upon a vote
taken motion carried.
The public hearing for the Marv Eggwn subdivision was opened at 8:'55 PM.
Chairman Thorkelson read the answers to questions raised at the last
hearing and the memorandum from City Engineer Larry Anderson. Nr. Graser
went over additional engineering problems and items that had been discussed'
with Mr. Ron Swanson. It was stated that Fairlawn Shores Trail will utilize
state aid funds and will possibly be straightened. Mr. Swanson stated that"
the low area (Outlot A) may be filled and if '110t may be dyked and an over...;
flow put in. The meeting was then opened to the public.
Mr. Schmidt objected to the road cut to Oakridge Court.
Mrs. Bluedorn asked if the purpose of the road wa3 _:'lOreof analte:rnative..\';
She does not think upgrading Fairlawn Shores is going to keep people frOm":~?j
using the new road. '
Nelson stated that this addition is going to devalue his home.
Mr. Rygalo asked if it was aboslutly necessary to develop this land
this particular time.
Mrs. Bluedorn asked w;.~re the entrances onto Highway 13 would be. Mr.
Graser stated there would be no new entrances onto Highway 13 and Mrs.
Bluedorn asked why. Planner Graser stated why the Highway Department,bad;~,
denied any new exits onto Highway 13. COIDIIIissionerSpeikerstatedthat,thi
"plan is the best he had seen of the subdivision. ChairmanTf1OrkelSon~stat"
that he hoped the people in the audience appreciated the work that had gone:
into this subdivision. Motion was made by Johnson to, recO\lIIIICndapproval,-..
of Prior flills to the City Council, seconded byspeiker.and;-upoJ\:,a1v(;)t~;,,~a1te
ao'tion carried. The public hearing was closed at 9:25 'PM;r<'::.::,:);i/;t;.

1380 Corporate Center Curve, Suite 317
Eagan, MN 55121
RE: Inquiry by John Craig, 2855 Spring Lake Road SW, Prior Lake, Minnesota,
regarding possible additions to an existing house and garage.
Dear Suesan:
I have been reviewing a "plan" for proposed additions to the structures located at 2855
Spring Lake Road on property owned by John Craig. Because the existing garage to the
Northwest appeared to be a detached structure which already exceeded the Ordinance
maximum for area, and because the proposed additions to the house would not meet the
Shoreland Ordinance setback requirements, I informed him that to construct the proposed
additions he would need to obtain variances, and that in all likelihood city staff would
recommend denial because there is already reasonable use of the property, the proposal
would result in a change in the arrangement of buildings (i.e., a nonconforming use)
which would not comply with present Ordinance requirements, and the request would not
meet the criteria set forth in the Ordinance for granting variances. Mr. Craig then
informed me that the garage and porch addition on the lake side of the house had been
granted permits without variances, and that he didn't see why he couldn't simply obtain a
building permit.
As I further researched the property I discovered a number of surprising facts. First was
that Mr. Craig had applied for and been denied a variance to permit the oversized
"detached" garage in September of 1985, but that a building permit was issued in
November of 1985 after much "wrangling between then-Planning Director Graser and
Mr. Craig. It was granted on the theory that a covered walkway rendered the garage
"attached" and thus not subject to the area limitation.
Second, I discovered that the property has a 50' lake shore setback (granted for the
original house under City Case File V A 1978-0004), and that despite that setback, and
without further variance proceedings, Mr. Craig was granted a building permit for the
porch in 1990.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
After discovering these facts I shared them with Don Rye, and he suggested that I seek
your input as to how Mr. Craig could or should proceed. It seems to me that, at best, the
issuance of the 2 permits was mistake, and that Mr. Craig cannot simply proceed with a
building permit.
Jim Bates, an attorney representing Mr. Craig called my office late this afternoon, but
before engaging in any significant additional discussions, I would appreciate your input.
Along with this letter I am "faxing" some background information for your review.
Thanks for your valued input.
Very truly yours,
