Dear Mr. Steinhoff,
I am writing to notify you of the approval of your variance application. As you may recall from
the Planning Commission meeting, there were no conditions placed on your variance, and you
may apply for a building permit as soon as possible. However, the decision of the Planning
Commission may be appealed to the City Council within five working days. If no appeal is filed,
your building permit may be issued any time after June 25, 1993. Please contact the Building
Inspections Department to determine how soon your permit may be issued. Please note that a
variance will become null and void within one year of the date the variance was granted if
substantial progress has not been made to implement its purpose. Please contact me if you have
any additional questions.
Sincerely,
~~

JUNE 17, 1993
...
HISTORYIBACKGROUND:
The Planning Department has received a variance application from Richard Steinhoff of 3124
Butternut Circle. The applicant proposes to add a 12 foot by 15 foot porch on an existing deck as
per attached survey. The existing deck already has a legal non-conforming setback of 68' from
the lake shore, and 4' from the north side property line. The proposal will not encroach on this
existing setback, but the following variances are requested in order to construct the
im}J~1J v'ements as proposed:
1. 7' lakeshore variance from the 75' setback requirement
2. 6' north side yard setback from the 10' setback requirement
PREVIOUS PROPOSALS:
There are no previous proposals on file for the subject site.
PHYSIOGRAPHY:
The site slopes from the street to the lake shore and the. existing home is not located in the
floodplain of Prior Lake.
~DJACENT llSE.S:
The adjacent properties are mostly developed with single family homes, with some cabins still in
the area. This neighborhood was constructed in the 1960s and has seen numerous improvements
since that time.
EXISTING CONDITIONS,:
The survey indicates the locations of the existing garage, home, and deck structure. The subject
site contains 22,000 square feet above the 904 elevation. The existing deck is located 68' from
the 904 contour and 4' from the north side property line. The existing single family home is also
4' from this north property line. Major features of the site include very elongated lot dimensions
measuring 53' by 433'. In addition, the house is set back from the road approximately 315'.
Finally, a building permit was issued April 20, 1993 for a patio addition, but was delayed once an
accurate survey was submitted showing the legal non-confonning setback.
PRECEDENC~:
Staff researched and found that eighteen variance files exist for the thirty-three lots located in the
Butternut Circle area. The attached map indicates the lots which have received variances. Of the
sixteen variances granted, 7 lots received one variance, 4 lots received two variances, 5 lots
received three variances. 75% of these variance files show that a side yard setback was varied
from l' to 5'. Also, 50% of the files show that a lakeshore setback was varied from 9' to 65'. All

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
but two of the variances were granted prior to the 1987 adoption of the Shoreland Ordinance
therefore, lot area and impervious surface coverage were not considered. While the depth of
these lots would enable the lots to meet the lot area requirements, the widths are not compliant
with Prior Lake zoning standards.
NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUESIIMPACT/CONCERNS:
This is a well established neighborhood with only three structures located within the Prior Lake
floodplain and situated at various setbacks from all property lines and the 904 contour of Prior
Lake. This neighborhood has been in transition for many years and has a number of structures
that have been renovated or removed and rebuilt. There are ten vacant lots located on the
peninsula. The adjacent property to the north of the subject site would not be adversely impacted
by the proposal. The adjacent single family home is setback from the property line and the
lakeshore at a diff';'.."ut location than the subject property.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. A!'!'....de the application as submitted. The applicant proposes to add a porch over an
existing deck located 68' from the 904 contour and 4' from the north side property line.
This would require a lakeshore variance of 7' from the 75' requirement. In addition, the
proposal will require a side yard variance of 6' from the 10' requirement.
2. Table or continue the variance for specific reasons.
3. Deny the application based upon findings and facts relative to the hardship criteria of the
Zoning Ordinance, inconsistency with precedent or other purposes related to the Zoning
Code.
HARDSHIP FINDINGS:
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect to the
property.
The }'w}'osal will not cause further encroachment of the existing legal non-conforming
lakeshore or side yard setbacks.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property.
Rationale for granting the variances is that similar setbacks are prevalent on other
structures in the neighborhood, and the location of the structure was determined by a
fonner government jurisdiction. The existing deck and single family home has a legal
non-conforming setback which is not proposed to be increased.
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.
The hardship is not the result of the applicant nor the City of Prior Lake, but the result of
fonner platting and zoning standards of Spring Lake Township.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial justice,
and is not contrary to the public interest.
The proposed improvements observe the spirit and intent of the Ordinance in that it is not
encroaching on the setback any more than already exists. Substantial justice would be
realized by allowing the applicant to i1U}'~ove the }'~v~rty with respect to the adjacent
neighborhood. The proposed addition is not contrary to the public interest in that the legal
non-conforming setbacks are being increased.

Meeting was called to order by Chairman Roseth at 6:50 P.M. Those present were
Commissioners Roseth, Arnold, Greenfield, Director of Planning Horst Graser, Assistant
City Planner Deb Garross, Associate Planner James Hayes, and Secretary Rita
Schewe. Commissioner Loftus arrived at 7:10P.M.
1IEbt I - REVIEW MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
Commissioner Roseth suggested the word -motion- be changed to "vote- on page 1,
paragraph 2, line 5. Upon being advised that those were the words used by
Commissioner Wuellner, the minutes were left as recorded.
MOTION BY ARNOLD, SECOND BY GREENFIELD, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS
WRITTEN.
Vote taken signified ayes by Arnold, Greenfield, and Roseth. MOTION CARRIED.
ITEM II - NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING DISTRICT MEETING FOR FIVE HAWKS
AND SPRING LAKElWILLOWS NEIGHBORHOODS
Horst Graser, Director of Planning, stated it is critical that Prior Lake obtain the input,
thoughts, feelings, and issues for future growth. Prior Lake needs to be prepared for
this growth when applications and developers come before the City, they can be
evaluated on the terms of the values of this community and the people of this
community. That is the reason for these meetings, so as to incorporate the community's
values into the 2010 Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Graser introduced Blair Tremere, who has been contracted as a special consultant
to formulate the input of the public and interpret that information into goals and policies
which can be translated into the comprehensive plan.
John O'Loughlin, 2988 East Valley VIew Road, Shakopee, MN, stated he had land in the
city limits of Prior Lake but was not a resident and wished to participate in the meetings.
Dana McKenna, 4112 C.J. Circle, felt the community should have paths that connect
neighborhoods, parks and trails. Ms. McKenna was asked to comment on the parks,
housing values, and parking situations.
Tom Stevenson, 3547 Willow Beach Trail, Officer of the Willow Association, stated the
community should strive for mixed housing as development will be here when the
County Road 18 bridge is open. There should be more zoning options to accommodate
all financial levels of buyers. Traffic should be addressed at the time of development.
Mr. Stevenson was not in favor of linking the road systems or in having too many
businesses in Prior Lake.
PLANNING COMMISSION

Mr. Graser spoke on the possibility of impact fees to developers to help pay for future
development.
Michele Lein, 3852 Pershing, stated that communication is important, Mystic Lake is an
asset and Prior Lake should expand on the possibilities connected with that asset. Ms.
Lein felt a family restaurant is needed in the City, roads need to planned according to
usage, and had questions on forming a lake association and on Westbury Ponds.
Mr. O'Loughlin thought a radio station should be built in Prior Lake.
Commissioner Roseth thanked the audience for attending the neighborhood meeting
and for their participation.
A recess was called at 8:25 P.M. The meeting was reconvened at 8:30 P.M.
lIa' III- RICK STEINHQEF - VARIANCE
Rick Steinhoff 3124 Butternut Circle, stated he is proposing to add a three season porch
over the existing deck. Mr. Steinhoff applied for and received a building permit for this
project and started construction. When he called for a footing inspection it was
determined he was too close to the lake. After applying for a variance, the survey
showed the existing structure was only 4 feet from the property line. Therefore two
variances are being requested to complete the project. There would be no further
encroachment on the existing setbacks.
James Hayes, Associate Planner presented the information as per planning report of
June 17, 1993. A 7 foot lakeshore variance from the 75 foot setback requirement and a
6 foot north sideyard setback from the 10 feet setback requirement is requested in order
to construct a 12 X 15 foot 3-season porch. The existing deck already has a legal
non-conforming setback of 68 feet from the lakeshore and 4 feet from the north side
property line. The subject site measures 53 X 433 feet and contains 22,000 square
feet. Precedence has been set in the neighborhood for granting similar variances.
Hardship in this application is not the result of actions by the applicant nor the city of
Prior Lake but of a previous government platting and zoning standards, precedence has
been set in the neighborhood, literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in
undue hardship with respect to the property, and the variance observes the spirit of the
Ordinance.
Comments from the Commissioners were on the following; question on the footings, no
further encroachment, criteria was met, if any variances were requested previously, and
all were in favor of the variances.
MOTION BY LOFTUS, SECOND BY ARNOLD, TO APPROVE A SEVEN (7) FOOT
LAKESHORE VARIANCE AND A SIX (6) FOOT NORTH SIDEYARD SI:: I /:jACK
VARIANCE FOR 3124 BUTTERNUT CIRCLE. RATIONALE BEING THE LITERAL
ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE WOULD RESULT IN UNDUE HARDSHIP TO
THE PROPERTY, THE PROPOSAL WILL NOT CAUSE FURTHER ENCROACHMENT
OF THE EXISTING LEGAL NON-CONFORMING SETBACKS, HARDSHIP RESULTS
BECAUSE OF CIRCUMSTANCES UNIQUE TO THE PROPERTY; HARDSHIP IS NOT
THE RESULT OF THE APPLICANT NOR THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE BUT OF A
FORMER GOVERNMENTAL BODY, PRECEDENT HAS BEEN SET AND IT WOULD
NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY.

Commissioner Greenfield reviewed the upcoming schedule for the Planning
Commission. Discussion followed on the results of the Neighborhood District Meetings.
ITEM IV .. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED .. L1CE~SED RESIDENTIAL CARE
FACILITIES
Deb Garross, Assistant City Planner, presented the information as per planning report of
June 17, 1993. An outline of the proposed amendment for Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance
83-6 was given. The proposal is a housekeeping amendment in order to bring the
Zoning Ordinance into consistency with Minnesota Statutes 462.357 Subd.7 and
Subd.8. The change in this Ordinance specifies that the licensed residential care
facilities cannot be restricted from single family and multifamily residential zoning
districts.
The statute requires that state licensed residential facilities serving six or fewer persons;
licensed day care facilities serving 12 or fewer persons; and group family day care
facilities licensed under Minnesota Rules which serve 14 or fewer children "Shall" be a
permitted use within single family zoning districts. Therefore, the proposed amendment
lists those uses as permitted uses in the R-1, Urban Residential Zone. Even though the
existing Zoning Ordinance does not list the uses proposed in the amendment, an
individual could not be prohibited from conducting the use within the specified zones,
provided that the use is consistent with the statute.
Discussion followed on the amendment.
MOTION BY GREENFIELD, SECOND BY ARNOLD, TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY
COUNCIL THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO PRIOR LAKE ORDINANCE
83-6 AND TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 93-14. RATIONALE BEING THIS AMENDMENT
WILL BRING THE ZONING ORDINANCE INTO CONSISTENCY WITH MINNESOTA
STATUTES 462.357 SUBDIVISION 7 AND SUBDIVISION 8.
Yote taken signified ayes by Greenfield, Arnold, Roseth, and Loftus. MOTION
CARRIED.
MOTION BY LOFTUS, SECOND BY GREENFIELD, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING.
Vote taken signified ayes by Loftus, Greenfield, Loftus, and Roseth. MOTION
CARRIED. Public Hearing closed at 9:15 P.M.
MOTION BY GREENFIELD, SECOND BY ARNOLD, TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
Vote taken signified ayes by Greenfield, Arnold, Roseth, and Loftus. MOTION
CARRIED.
The meeting adjourned at 9:16 P.M. Tapes of the meeting are on file at City Hall.

The subject site is located at 3124 Butternut Circle
Proposal is for a 12' by 15' three season porch on an existing deck.
Existing home and deck already has legal non-confvmJng setbacks.
1. 68' from the lakeshore instead of 75' required in the Shoreland District.
2. 4' from the north side yard instead of the 10' required in the R -1 District.
The proposal will not encroach on the lakeshore or side yard setbacks.
There are no previous proposals on file for the subject site.
PHYSIOGRAPHY/ADJACENT USES/NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES:
The site slopes from the street to the lakeshore and the existing home is not
located in the floodplain of Prior Lake.
Adjacent properties are mostly developed with single family homes with some
cabins in the area
There are ten vacant lots located on the peninsula
Neighborhood constructed in the 1960s with numerous improvements since that
time
The adjacent property to the north will not be adversely affected by the proposal,
since it is setback from the lakeshore and the property line at a different location
than the subject site.
EXISTING CONDmONS:
The subject site contains 22,000 sqaure feet above the 904 elevation
The existing deck is located 68' from the 904 contour and 4' from the north
property line
The existing single family home is also 4' from this north property line
The lot is very elongated in its dimensions measuring, 53' by 433' .
The existing house is setback approx. 315' from the road
Building permit issued April 20, 1993 for patio addition, delayed once an accurate
survey was obtained showing the setbacks
PRECEDENCE:
While each variance is different, this application is similar to the proposal on
Lord's Street, June 3 in that a legal non-conforming setback is not going to be
increased.
Staff researched and found that 18 variance files exist for the 33 lots located in the
Butternut Circle area. (one was withdrawn, one was denied a 75' lake shore
variance for a boat dock)

3. 5 lots rec' d 3 variances
75% of the variances were for a side yard setback, from l' to 5'
50% of the variances were for a lake shore setback, from 9' to 65'
Most lots would meet the area requirement if platted today, but the widths are
substandard in cases where lots have not been joined with another lot
HARDSHIP FINDINGS:
Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect
to the property.
The proposal will not cause further encroachment of the existing legal
non-conforming lakeshore or side yard setbacks.
B. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the
property.
VI.
Rationale for granting the variances is that similar setbacks are prevalent on other
structures in the neighborhood, and the locations of the structure was determined
by a fonner government jurisdiction. The existing deck and single family home
has a legal non-conforming setback which is not proposed to be increased.
C. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of
actions of persons presently having an intrest in the property.
The hardship is not the result of the applicant nor the City of Prior Lake, but the
result of fonner platting and zoning standards of Spring Lake Township.
D. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial
justice, and is not contrary to the public interest.
The proposed im1-'~v..ements observe the spirit and intent of the Ordinance in that
it is not encroaching on the setback any more than already exists. Substantial
justice would be realized by allowing the applicant to improve the property with
respect to the adjacent neighborhood. The 1-'~V1-'osed addition is not contrary to the
public interest in that the legal non-conforming setbacks are not being increased.
ALTERNATIVES
A.
Approve the application as submitted, a lake shore variance of 7' from the 75'
requirement, and a 6' north side yard variance from the 10' requirement
B.
Table or continue the variance for specific reasons.
c.
Deny the application based upon specific findings and facts relative to the
hardship criteria of the Zoning Ordinance, inconsistency with precedent or other
purposes related to the Zoning Code.

HISTORY/BACKGROUND:
The subject site is located at 3124 Butternut Circle
Proposal is for a 12' by 15' three season porch on an existing deck.
Existing home and deck already has legal non-conforming setbacks.
1. 68' flUUI the lakeshore instead of 75' required in the Shoreland District.
2. 4' from the north side yard instead of the 10' required in the R -1 District.
The proposal will not encroach on the lakeshore or side yard setbacks.
There are no previous .t'.lU'.t'osals on ftle for the subject site.
PHYSIOGRAPHY/ADJACENT USES/NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES:
The site slopes from the street to the lakeshore and the existing home is not
located in the floodplain of Prior Lake.
Adjacent properties are mostly developed with single family homes with some
cabins in the area
There are ten vacant lots located on the peninsula
Neighborhood constructed in the 1960s with numerous improvements since that
time
The adjacent property to the north will not be adversely affected by the proposal,
since it is setback (.lUUI the lakeshore and the property line at a different location
than the subject site.
EXISTING CONDmONS:
The subject site contains 22,000 sqaure feet above the 904 elevation
The existing deck is located 68' from the 904 contour and 4' from the north
property line
The existing single family home is also 4' from this north property line
The lot is very elongated in its dimensions measuring, 53' by 433' .
The existing house is setback a.t'F.lUx. 315' from the road
Building permit issued April 20, 1993 for patio addition, delayed once an accurate
survey was obtained showing the setbacks
PRECEDENCE:
While each variance is different, this application is similar to the proposal on
Lord's Street, June 3 in that a legal non-conforming setback is not going to be
increased.
Staff researched and found that 18 variance files exist for the 33 lots located in the
Butternut Circle area. (one was withdrawn, one was denied a 75' lake shore
variance for a boat dock)

Of the 16 variances granted:

2. 4 lots rec' d 2 variances
3. Slots rec'd 3 variances
75% of the variances were for a side yard setback, from I' to 5'
50% of the variances were fOr a lake shore setback, from 9' to 65'
Most lots would meet the area requirement if platted today, but the widths are
substandard in cases where lots have not been joined with another lot
HARDSHIP FINDINGS:
Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect
to the property.
The proposal will not cause further encroachment of the existing legal
non-conforming lakeshore or side yard setbacks.
B. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the

C. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of
actions of persons presently having an intrest in the property.
The hardship is not the result of the applicant nor the City of Prior Lake, but the
result of fvuuer platting and zoning standards of Spring Lake Township.
D. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial
justice, and is not contrary to the public interest.
The proposed improvements observe the spirit and intent of the Ordinance in that
it is not encroaching on the setback any more than already exists. Substantial
justice would be realized by allowing the applicant to improve the property with
respect to the adjacent neighborhood. The proposed addition is not contrary to the
public interest in that the legal non-conforming setbacks are not being increased.

RICHARD STEINHOFF
3124 BlJ 1 u~.RNUT CIRCLE
JAMES HAYES, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
_YESXNO
JUNE 17, 1993
H1~TORYmACKGROUND:
The Planning Department has received a variance application from Richard Steinhoff of 3124
Butternut Circle. The applicant proposes to add a 12 foot by 15 foot porch on an existing deck as
per attached survey. The existing deck already has a legal non-conforming setback of 68' from
the lake shore, and 4' from the north side property line. The proposal will not encroach on this
existing setback, but the following variances are requested in order to construct the
im!,~v lements as proposed:
1. 7' lakeshore variance from the 75' setback requirement
2. 6' north side yard setback from the 10' setback requirement
PREVIOUS PROPOSALS:
There are no previous proposals on file for the subject site.
PHYSIOGRAPHY:
The site slopes from the street to the lake shore and the. existing home is not located in the
floodplain of Prior Lake.
ADJACENT USES:
The adjacent }UVperties are mostly developed with single family homes, with some cabins still in
the area. This neighborhood was constructed in the 1960s and has seen numerous improvements
since that time.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The survey indicates the locations of the existing garage, home, and deck structure. The subject
site contains 22,000 square feet above the 904 elevation. The existing deck is located 68' from
the 904 contour and 4' from the north side property line. The existing single family home is also
4' from this north property line. Major features of the site include very elongated lot dimensions
measuring 53' by 433'. In addition, the house is set back from the road approximately 315'.
Finally, a building permit was issued April 20, 1993 for a patio addition, but was delayed once an
accurate survey was submitted showing the legal non-conforming setback.
PRECEDENCE:
Staff researched and found that eighteen variance files exist for the thirty-three lots located in the
Butternut Circle area. The attached map indicates the lots which have received variances. Of the
sixteen variances granted, 7 lots received one variance, 4 lots received two variances, 5 lots
received three variances. 75% of these variance files show that a side yard setback was varied
from l' to 5'. Also, 50% of the files show that a lakeshore setback was varied from 9' to 65'. All

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
but two of the variances were granted prior to the 1987 adoption of the Shoreland Ordinance
therefore, lot area and impervious surface coverage were not considered. While the depth of
these lots would enable the lots to meet the lot area requirements, the widths are not compliant
with Prior Lake zoning standards.
NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUESIIMPACT/CONCERNS:
This is a well established neighborhood with only three structures located within the Prior Lake
floodplain and situated at various setbacks from all }'J.,,}'erty lines and the 904 contour of Prior
Lake. This neighborhood has been in transition for many years and has a number of structures
that have been renovated or removed and rebuilt. There are ten vacant lots located on the
peninsula. The adjacent property to the north of the subject site would not be adversely impacted
by the proposal. The adjacent single family home is setback from the property line and the
lakeshore at a different location than the subject property.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the application as submitted. The applicant proposes to add a porch over an
existing deck located 68' from the 904 contour and 4' from the north side property line.
This would require a lake shore variance of 7' from the 75' requirement. In addition, the
proposal will require a side yard variance of 6' from the 10' requirement.
2. Table or continue the variance for specific reasons.
3. Deny the application based upon findings and facts relative to the hardship criteria of the
Zoning Ordinance, inconsistency with precedent or other purposes related to the Zoning
Code.
HARDSHIP FINDINCtS:
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect to the
property.
The }'J.v}'osal will not cause further encroachment of the existing legal non-conforming
lakeshore or side yard setbacks.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property.
Rationale for granting the variances is that similar setbacks are prevalent on other
structures in the neighborhood, and the location of the structure was determined by a
f"uuer government jurisdiction. The existing deck and single family home has a legal
non-confvuuing setback which is not proposed to be increased.
3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of actions of
persons presently having an inter~st in the property.
The hardship is not the result of the applicant nor the City of Prior Lake, but the result of
former platting and zoning standards of Spring Lake Township.
4. The variance obselVes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial justice,
and is not contrary to the public interest.
The proposed improvements observe the spirit and intent of the Ordinance in that it is not
encroaching on the setback any more than already exists. Substantial justice would be
realized by allowing the applicant to iUl}'J.v <Ie the property with respect to the adjacent
neighborhood. The proposed addition is not contrary to the public interest in that the legal
non-conforming setbacks are being increased.
