BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota; FINDINGS 1. Eagle Creek Villas, LLC, has applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit the construction of a single family dwelling located in the Rl (Low Density Residential) and SD (Shoreland) Districts at 14624 Oakland Beach Avenue, Prior Lake, MN, and legally described as follows: Lot 16, Oakland Beach, Scott County, Minnesota 2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in Case File #00-071PC and held hearings thereon on September 25,2000. 3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance 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 proposed variance on the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. 5. The pre-existing lot of record does not meet the current Ordinance for minimum lot size and lot width in the Rl District. This situation creates an unbuildable lot and a 1:\OOfiles\OOvar\OO-071 \aprsOO-071.doc 1 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

There is justifiable hardship caused by the minimum lot area and width required today and the platted lot of record. Reasonable use of the property does not exist without the granting of the variance to permit a buildable lot for a single family dwelling. 7. The granting of the Variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship. 8. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship. 9. The contents of Planning Case File #00-071PC are hereby entered into and made a part of the public record and the record of decision for this case. CONCLUSION Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the following variance for the proposed structure as shown in revised survey dated 10/10/00: 1. A 3,522 square foot variance to permit a lot area of 3,978 square feet rather than the required minimum area of 7,500 square feet, and a 10.24 foot variance to permit a lot width of 39.76 feet at the building setback line rather than the required minimum lot width of 50 feet. The following are conditions which must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed structure: 1. The lot must be developed as shown on the attached revised survey dated 10/1 0/00. Including a minimum side yard setback of 10.33 feet on the north side lot line. 2. The permit IS subject to all other City Ordinances and applicable agency regulations. 3. The variance must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the Planning Department within 60 days. The resolution must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the Planning Department. An Assent Form must be signed and, pursuant to Section 1108.400 of the City Code, the variance will be null and void if the necessary permits are not obtained for the proposed structure within one year after adoption of this resolution.

Call to Order: The September 25 2000, Planning Commission meeting was called to order by Chairman V oOOof at 6:30 p.m. Those present were Commissioners Atwood, Stamson and V oOOof, Planning Director Don Rye, Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier, Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman and Recording Secretary Connie Carlson. 2. Roll Call: V oOOof Criego Atwood Stamson Present Absent Present Present 3. Approval of Minutes: The Minutes from the September 11, 2000, Planning Commission meeting were approved as presented. Chairman V oOOof read the Public Hearing and Appeal statements and opened the first hearing. 4. Public Hearings: A. Case File #00-071 Eagle Creek Villas is requesting a variance to lot area less than the minimum of 7,500 square feet, a variance to lot width less than the minimum 50 feet, and a variance to permit over the maximum allowable impervious surface area of 30 percent for the property located at 14624 Oakland Beach. Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman presented the Planning Report. The Planning Department received a variance application from Eagle Creek Villas, LLC, for the construction of a single family dwelling with attached garage on an existing lot of record. The following variances are being requested: 1. A 3,522 square foot variance to permit a lot area of 3,978 square feet rather than the required minimum area of7,500 square feet. 2. A 10.24 foot variance to permit a lot width of39.76 feet at the building setback line rather than the required minimum lot width of 50 feet. Lot 16, Oakland Beach, was platted in 1926. The property is located within the R-l (Low Density Residential) and the Shoreland Overlay Districts. The lot is adjacent to dedicated L:\OOFILES\OOPLCOMM\OOPCMIN\MN092500.DOC I Planning Commission Minutes September 25, 2000 waterfront access to the shoreline as granted to the collective property owners in Oakland Beach. The applicant does not own either of the adjacent parcels. The Department of Natural Resources has no objection to the lot area or lot width variances. The Planning Department received a faxed letter from a neighboring resident on Oakland Beach Avenue expressing their opinion on the requested variances. This letter states granting the requested variances would set a precedent and allow a property owner with two 60' wide lots to create three lots less than 50' wide. It is important to note this variance applies to an existing platted lot and does not allow the creation of any new lots. The Planning staff believed by applying today's Ordinance requirements to an undeveloped existing platted lot of record, a hardship is created according to the preceding stated conditions in their report. The staff recommended the Planning Commission adopted the resolution approving the two requested variances. Approval of this request should be subject to the condition the lot is developed as shown on the survey to ensure additional variances are not required. Comments from the public: Larry Gensmer, representing Eagle Creek Villas said he did not have anything to add to the report. Paul Borman, 14626 Oakland Beach, asked ifhe could see the plan and did not have any comments. The public hearing was closed. Comments from the Commissioners: Stamson: . The two variances are appropriate. There is no opportunity to expand the boundaries. . The building proposed meets all the setback requirements. . Supported the request. Atwood: . Agreed with Stamson, the requests are appropriate. . The impervious surface issue has been taken care of. V onhof: . Agreed with the Commissioners. . Questioned staff on the driveway grade. Horsman responded. . All the hardship criteria had been met. 1:\OOfiles\OOplcomm\OOpcmin\mn092500.doc 2 .. . , ' Planning Commission Minutes September 25. 2000 . The impervious surface issue has been addressed. Rye pointed out a condition in the Resolution that the lot must be developed as shown on the exhibit. It would be necessary to move the house a few inches to accommodate the survey. Therefore the condition would have to be modified to reflect the change. Vonhofre-opened the public hearing. Molly Sexe Borman, 14626 Oakland Beach Avenue, questioned if the building could be moved closer to the other side of the lot. Kansier explained the setback ordinances have been met but maybe the proposed home could be flip-flopped so the larger setback is on the other side. A condition in the Resolution could state the house must be relocated where no additional variances are required. Borman would like to expand some day. The home on the other side of their property is located right on the lot line. They would like to keep their options open. Atwood: Questioned staff on what will happen to the Bormans when they want to add on with a non-conforming lot. Rye said they would have to meet the ordinances. It appears the Bormans have a 12 foot side yard setback. There should be some discussion on moving the proposed house. Stamson asked the applicant, Larry Gensmer ifthey would be impacted if the Commissioners added a condition to move the house over 5 feet. Gensmer said he did not feel there would be a problem. Larry Miller, owns the adjoining property on the other side and would like to see it moved 10 feet away from his side. Miller's lot is undeveloped at this time. There were no other comments and the hearing was closed. The Commissioners discussed the setbacks and building separation.

The following variances are being requested: 1. A 3,522 square foot variance to permit a lot area of 3,978 square feet rather than the required minimum area of 7,500 square feet [City Ordinance 1104.902 Nonconforming Lot]. 2. A 10.24 foot variance to permit a lot width of 39.76 feet at the building setback line rather than the required minimum lot width of 50 feet (City Ordinance 1104.902 Nonconforming Lot). DISCUSSION: Lot 16, Oakland Beach, was platted in 1926. The property is located within the R-1 (Low Density Residential) and the SD (Shoreland Overlay) Districts. The lot is riparian by dedicated waterfront access to the shoreline as granted to the collective property owners in Oakland Beach. The applicant does not own either of the adjacent parcels. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER The lot dimensions are 39.71 feet by 100.09 feet by 39.99 feet by 99.94 feet. The total lot area of 3,978 square feet is 3,515 square feet less than the required minimum of 7,500 square feet to be considered a buildable lot [City Ordinance 1104.902 Nonconforming Lot]. In addition, the lot width at the setback line is 39.76 feet or 10.24 feet less than the required minimum of 50 feet wide to be a buildable lot [City Ordinance 1104.902]. The proposed setback of 21.56 feet was determined by setback averaging the three properties within 150 feet along the same block front as the subject property [City Ordinance 1102.405 Dimensional Standards (4)]. The side yard setback along the north lot line is 5.7 feet and south side yard setback of 10 feet. The setback from the ordinary high water contour of 904 is 115 feet. The proposed lowest floor elevation of the basement is 910 feet and exceeds the minimum required one foot of freeboard above the regional flood elevation of 908.9 feet and at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation of 909.9 feet [City Ordinance 1105 Flood Plain Regulations 1105.203]. In addition, the finished fill elevation of 908.9 feet shall extend at least 15 feet beyond the limits of any structure or to the nearest lot line [City Ordinance 1105.401 Permitted Uses]. The proposed structure is 24 feet wide and 52 feet long for a total of 1,248 square feet. It includes a two-car tuck under garage with a driveway slope of 6% to the street. The attached floor plan shows three bedrooms and an office in addition to common rooms such as kitchen and living area (Exhibit B Plans). The proposed impervious surface coverage area of 1622 square feet includes the building and driveway. The total allowable lot area used to determine impervious surface was calculated by adding the actual lot area of 3,978 with a portion of the dedicated waterfront area between the projected lot lines to the ordinary high water elevation. The combined total area available for impervious surface coverage equals 5,547 square feet. Based on this calculation, the proposed impervious surface is equal to 29.2% of the lot area. The use of additional non buildable dedicated waterfront area has been a standard practice on previous variance requests (Exhibit C Impervious Surface). The Department of Natural Resources comments on this variance request are attached. In essence, the DNR has no objection to the lot area or lot width variances (Exhibit 0 Letter From DNR). Finally, the Planning Department received a faxed letter from a neighboring resident on Oakland Beach Avenue expressing their opinion on the requested variances (Exhibit E Letter From Resident). This letter states granting the requested variances would set a precedent and allow a property owner with two 60' wide lots to create three lots less than 50' wide. It is important to note this L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-071\VRPT -071.DOC Page 2 variance applies to an existing platted lot and does not allow the creation of any new lots. VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS 1. Where by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a lot, or where by reason of exceptional topographical or water conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional conditions of such lot, the strict application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in peculiar and practical difficulties or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner of such lot in developing or using such lot in a manner customary and legally permissible within the Use District in which said lot is located. Lot 16, Oakland Beach, is an existing lot of record platted in 1926. By reason of lot size it is nonconforming by today's standards. Therefore, a hardship exists in relation to codes in effect in the period it was platted and the Ordinances in effect at this time. There is no legal alternative to obtain additional lot area or lot width. 2. Conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to the property or immediately adjoining property, and do not apply, generally, to other land or structures in the Use District in which the land is located. The lot area and lot width of this lot are somewhat peculiar in that most lots platted at the time where at least 50 feet wide. New lots created under the current ordinance are at least 90' wide. 3. The granting of the proposed Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner. As owner of an existing platted vacant lot, the owner has a substantial right to reasonable development. 4. The granting of the proposed Variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety. The granting of the requested variances will not unreasonably affect these conditions or values. 5. The granting of the Variance will not unreasonably impact on the character and development of the neighborhood, unreasonably L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-071\VRPT -071.DOC Page 3 diminish or impair established property values in the surrounding area, or in any other way impair the health safety, and comfort of the area. The granting of the requested variances will not unreasonably affect these conditions or values. 6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. The granting of the proposed variances will not be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. 7. The granting of the Variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable undue hardship or difficulty. The requested variances are necessary to alleviate undue hardship. 8. The hardship results from the application of the provisions of this Ordinance to the affected property and does not result from actions of the owners of the property. The application of the provisions of this Ordinance on the affected property results in hardship. 9. Increased development or construction costs or economic hardship alone shall not be grounds for granting a Variance. Increased development costs are not grounds for granting this variance, as additional.lot area is not available. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning staff believes that by applying today's Ordinance requirements on an undeveloped existing platted lot of record creates a hardship as required by the preceding stated conditions in this report. The staff recommends the Planning Commission adopted the following resolution approving the two requested variances. Approval of this request should be subject to the condition the lot is developed as shown on the attached survey to ensure additional variances are not required. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the variances requested by the applicant, or approve any variances the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances. L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-071\VRPT -071.DOC Page 4 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 code criteria. In this case, the Planning Commission should direct staff to prepare a resolution with findings denying the variance requests. ACTION REQUIRED: Motion and second adopting Resolution 00-012PC approving a 3,522 square foot variance to allow a lot area of 3,978 square feet rather than the required minimum area of 7,500 square feet, and a 10.24 foot variance to allow a lot width of 39.76 feet at the building setback line rather than the required minimum lot width of 50 feet.

Bob Dittman Variances Would like to see the proposed 36.7% impervious surface reduced. The city allows up to 30% impervious, which is 5% more than the 25% allowable per state shoreland rules. Is the shed a necessity? Can any of the existing bituminous driveway be removed to reduce hard surface? Although not opposed to the proposed variance, DNR would like to see effort made to keep impervious surface coverage no more than 35%. It has been documented that watersheds that exceed about 10% impervious surface have water quality problems associated with stormwater runoff. Eagle Creek Villas LLC Variances The subject lot area (5534 square feet) is less than 75% of the 7500 square foot minimum lot size by city ordinance, and about 37% of the minimum lot size and 53% the lot width for a sewered lot on a Recreational Development Lake as per state minimum guidelines. It is assumed the lot has been in separate ownership from the adjacent Lot15 since the ordinance was adopted, otherwise the lot must be combined. Modification to the building dimensions could eliminate the impervious surface variance. A structure about 3.5 feet shorter than that proposed would get impervious surface to conform to the ordinance requirement, eliminating one of three variances. Please consider requiring same.

I do not support granting a variance to allow a house to be built on a property with less than the required SO feet of lakeshore at 14624 Oakland Beach. Unless the Planning Department intends to offer similar future variances in order to increase housing density (3 houses where there are now 2) granting the present variance request is not a wise precedent. It promotes the notion that an owner of two sixty foot lots can noW tear down those dwellings and erect three houses each with forty feet of lakeshore. This type of development serves neither the character nor the future of Prior Lake. Furthennoret this particular area of Oakland Beach is already crowded and the property in question was purchased with full knowledge that it was not a '4buHdable" lot. There is no compelling reason for the Planning Department to abandon the 50 foot regulation. There are, on the other han~ a number of practical reasons to maintain a longstanding regulation that has governed many others who have built lakeshore houses on Prior Lake in the past.

We will notify you of any pertinent issues, which may arise as a result of your internal review and preparation of our staff report. We have scheduled your request to be heard by the Planning Commission on September 25, 2000. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. and is located at the Fire Station on County Road 21 and Fish Point Road. You or your representative is expected to be in attendance. If you cannot make the meeting, please let me know. You will be receiving a copy of the public notice and a copy of the staff report with recommendation prior to the meeting. The City variance process can be substantially less than 120 days, and we intend to process this variance in a timely manner and provide a complete, professional review. Occasionally, however, due to meeting schedules, it is sometimes necessary to extend the 60 day review period. This letter also serves as your official notice that the City is extending the 60 day deadline for an additional 60 days from November 14, 2000 to January 14,2001.
