APPROVING AN APPEAL BY ALVIN MONNENS
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF
VARIANCE TO THE SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 16697 CREEKSIDE
AVENUE, Case File #97-065
AUGUST 18, 1997
DATE:
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this item is to consider an appeal by Alvin
Monnens of the decision of the Planning Commission to
deny a variance for the construction of a two-stall garage
on property located at 16697 Creekside Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Alvin Monnens submitted an application for a side yard
setback variance to construct an attached two car garage.
The request was for the proposed garage to be setback 5
feet from the side lot line. The lot is 100 feet wide and
22,095 sq. feet in area. It is not considered to be
substandard, therefore the required side yard setback is 10
feet. The request was for a 5 foot variance from the side
yard setback to allow a setback of 5 feet rather than the
required 10 feet.
On July 28, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed the
proposal and concurred with the staff recommendation.
Citing that a legal alternative exists and that undue
hardship is not created by literal enforcement of the Zoning
Ordinance, the Planning Commission denied the variance
request. The Planning Commission felt that the location of
the proposed garage is within the total control of the
applicant and the variance can be eliminated if the garage is
relocated within the legal building envelope.
The attached minutes of the July 28, 1997 Planning
Commission meeting summarize the discussion of this

variance request.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission based the denial of this variance
request on the following factors:
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result
in undue hardship with respect to the property.
This criteria goes to whether reasonable use can be
made of the property if the Ordinance is literally
enforced. In this case, the lot does have a building
envelope of 13,640 square feet to accommodate a
garage. There is a legal alternative for the eliminating
the variance request.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of
circumstances unique to the property.
The lot exceeds minimum requirements for the R-l
zoning district. The lot is 22,095 square feet. The rear
yard is divided by a banle However, there is
considerable area above the bank to accommodate a
garage. There are no unique circumstances effecting
the property which cause unnecessary hardship. There
appear to be alternatives that reduce the hardship which
should be considered by the applicant.
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 lot exceeds the minimum requirements for lots
within the R-1 district. There is a legal building
envelope that accommodates the garage in a different
location, thus meeting setbacks. If the applicant moves
the garage to within the legal building envelope, the
variance would be eliminated. The hardship caused by
the provisions of the Ordinance is the result of the
applicants proposed building and drive locations.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this
Ordinance, produces substantial justice and is not
contrary to the public interest.

AL TERNA TIVES:
RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION REQUIRED:
The intent of the 10 foot side yard setback for structures
is to protect drainage and utility easements, allow for
snow storage and automobile overhangs, and to allow
for building separation and access to the rear yard. The
granting of the requested variance is contrary to the
intent of the Ordinance in that the drainage and utility
easement would not be unobstructed. However, if an
unobstructed easement can be obtained, then the spirit
and intent of the ordinance can be met.
The survey indicates that there are no easements along the
side lot lines. However, the plat indicates a 6 foot drainage
and utility easement along all side lot lines dedicated to the
public. By definition, structures are not permitted in such
easements. If the Council grants a variance, the easement
should not be encroached upon, thus the variance should be
for a 6 foot side yard setback.
1. Adopt Resolution 97-XX denying the appeal by Alvin
Monnens and upholding the decision of the Planning
Commission.
2. Approve Alvin Monnens' appeal by overturning the
decision of the Planning Commission and approving
the requested variance. In this case, the Council should
direct the staff to prepare a resolution with findings of
fact supporting the variance.
3. Other specific action as directed by the Council.
Alternative # 1.
Motion and second adopting the attached Resolution
#97-XX, denying the appeal and upholding the decision
of the Planning Commission.1

3. The Prior Lake City Council reviewed this appeal on August 18, 1997.
4. The City Council has considered the effect of overturning the decision of the Planning
Commission 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.
5. The City Council has reviewed the hardship criteria in relation to the setback variance
request for the proposed addition as shown in Exhibit A.
6. The City Council has determined that there are no unique circumstances or conditions
regarding the property that are not the fault or cause of the applicants.
7. The City Council has determined that literal enforcement of the ordinance will not result in
undue hardship, as the applicant can build the proposed addition on the property within the
legal building envelope.
8. The contents of Planning Case File #97-065 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 denies the setback variance

Alvin 1. I\1onnens
City agrees to a variance 5 Erf .:;25-- '1~1
In a case which would have meant the difference between a one-car or
a two-car garage, the City Council decided Minnesota's winters deserve
deeper respect.
On Sept. 20, the city overturned a decision by the Planning Commis-
sion on an appeal by John Beaupre, the man who wants to build a garage
onto a converted cabin near Fairbanks Trail in Maple Park Shore Acres.
The council gave its OK to a five-foot side variance that will allow an 18-
by-26-foot garage to be built..,,; .....H
The Planning Commission and city staff had been concerned because
the city had never issued two 50-percent side variances for one home. The
opposite side of the house had earlier been granted a side variance to allow
the cabin to be improved. .
But the City Council listed specific conditions in which such a variance
may apply. The fact that a neighboring home is 20 feet from the lot line near
where the garage would be built was a key factor in the council's decision.
Council members also said Beaupre had met the criteria for "hardship," the
basis for almost all variance approvals.
City staff had recommended a compromise that would have allowed a
three-footvariance,.enabling a 16-foot-wide garage. 'But council members
acknowledged that Minnesota winters make a two-car garage standard in
newer homes or older homes with major new additions.

4. Public Hearings:
=?>
A. CASE #97-065 CONSIDER A SIDE YARD VARIANCE FOR ALVIN
MONNENS, 16697 CREEKSIDE CIRCLE.
Planner Jenni Tovar presented the staff report. The applicant is proposing to construct a
480 square foot attached garage in the side yard utilizing an existing bituminous driveway
located along the south side of the principle structure. There is no existing garage on the
property. The proposed garage will be located 5 feet from the property line. The City
Code requires a minimum structure setback of 10 feet from the side yard property line
(Section 5-4-1). Therefore, the applicant is requesting a 5 foot variance to the side yard
setback to allow a 5 foot garage setback rather than the required setback of 10 feet.
The property is zoned R-1. The house was constructed in 1963 without a garage. This
lot is 22,095 sq. feet and 100 feet wide at the street. Therefore, this lot is not a
substandard lot. The existing house is setback approximately 42 feet from the front

property line, 25 feet from the side property line to the south, and approximately 29 feet
from the side property line to the north. No previous variances have been granted.
Generally, the city maintains a 5 foot drainage and utility easement on side property lines.
However, the plat shows a 6 foot dedication. The city does not generally permit
structures to be located within drainage and utility easements. The issue of drainage onto
the adjacent property is not a major concern, as easements exist.
The variance to side yard setback could be eliminated if the garage was located behind
the existing structure or to the north. The legal building envelope is approximately 80'
by 170' or 13,640 square feet. Staff concluded the intent of the applicant to construct a
garage certainly is reasonable, the proposed location and variance requested does not
warrant undue hardship. There are other legal alternatives.
Comments from the public:
Alvin Monnens, 16697 Creekside Circle, felt the proposed location was the only
alternative to place his garage. If he put the garage on the other side, he would also have
to ask for variances. The bedrooms and air conditioner unit is also located on the
opposite side. Mr. Monnens read a newspaper article dated September 25, 1993 stating
"A two car garage is a must in Minnesota."
Comments from the Commissioners:
V onhof:
. Does not feel the 4 hardship criteria has been met.
. Agreed with applicant a garage is needed but there are other legal alternatives.
Kuykendall:
. Agreed with staff. There are other alternatives.
. A garage can be placed in other locations.
Criego:
. Questioned the grade to the shed. Mr. Monnens thought it was approximately 80".
. The house is on a slope.
. The alternative would be a detached garage.
. Tovar explained a detached garage would fit the building envelope.
Cramer:
. The request is reasonable to have a garage in the State of Minnesota.
. Agreed with staff s recommendations.
Commissioner Kuykendall explained the utility easement.

B. CASE #97-066 CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST FOR C. H.
CARPENTER, 16450 ANNA TRAIL SE.
Commissioner Stamson opened the public hearing.
The City received an application for a conditional use permit from c.H. Carpenter
Lumber on July 3,1997. The applicant proposes to construct two pole type buildings in a
phasing plan. The applicant is proceeding with a tree inventory/landscape plan, but is in
need of more time. Considering notices of public hearing were sent and published, the
Planning Commission must continue the hearing to August 11, 1997.
MOTION BY VONHOF, SECOND BY CRIEGO, TO CONTINUE THE MEETING TO
AUGUST 11, 1997 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.
5. Old Business:
A. CASE #97-050 (CONTINUED) BRYAN AND PHILIP HINES
REQUEST SETBACK VARIANCE FROM ORDINARY HIGH WATER LEVEL,
FOR THE PROPERTY AT 2719 SPRING LAKE ROAD.
Planner Jenni Tovar presented the staff report. On June 23, 1997 the Planning
Commission heard a variance request from Bryan and Philip Hines who are proposing to
remove an existing deck and construct a new, larger deck with a porch and a separate
greenhouse. The applicants had originally requested a variance to allow an expanded
deck with porch to be setback 30 feet from the Ordinary High Water and a proposed
greenhouse to be setback approximately 37.5 feet from the Ordinary High Water.
Based on the hardship criteria used for evaluating variances, the Planning Commission
was prepared to deny the variances as requested. Upon request of the applicant, the
Planning Commission continued the discussion to July 28, 1997. This was to allow the
applicant time to modify the proposed additions to reduce/eliminate the variance request.
The revised proposed deck does not extend any closer to the OHW than the existing deck.
However, it extends 8 feet farther to the west. This is to allow access around the
proposed porch. The proposed larger deck and porch have been located at the same
Ordinary High Water setback of the existing principle structure of 47 feet. The originally
proposed greenhouse has been eliminated.

JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR
YES 1- NO
JULY 28, 1997
The Planning Department received a variance application from Alvin Monnens
who is proposing to construct a new detached 480 square foot garage. The
driveway is existing as drawn on the survey. There is no existing garage on the
property. No previous variances have been granted.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 480 square foot attached garage in
the side yard utilizing an existing bituminous driveway located along the south
side of the principle structure (Exhibit A). The proposed garage will be located
5 feet from the property line. The City Code requires a minimum structure
setback of 10 feet from the side yard property line (Section 5-4-1). Therefore,
the applicant is requesting a 5 foot variance to the side yard setback to
allow a 5 foot garage setback rather than the required setback of 10 feet.
DISCUSSION:
The lot is located in the subdivision known as Jo-Ahna Stepka's Hi-View 3rd
Addition (1962). The property is zoned R-1. The house was constructed in 1963
without a garage. The property is located within the R-1 (Suburban Residential)
district. This lot is 22,095 sq. feet and 100 feet wide at the street. Therefore,
this lot is not a substandard lot because it does meet the minimum lot area of
12,000 sq. feet and lot width of 86 feet. The existing house is setback
approximately 42 feet from the front property line, 25 feet from the side property
16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.L Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372-1714 1 Ph. (612) 447-4230 1 Fax (612) 447-4245

line to the south, and approximately 29 feet from the side property line to the
north. No previous variances have been granted.
Generally, the city maintains a 5 foot drainage and utility easement on side
property lines. However, the plat shows a 6 foot dedication (not shown on
survey). The city does not generally permit structures to be located within
drainage and utility easements. The issue of drainage onto the adjacent
property is not a major concern, as easements exist.
The variance to side yard setback could be eliminated if the garage was located
behind the existing structure or to the north. The legal building envelope is
approximately 80' by 170' or 13,640 square feet (Exhibit B).
VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship
with respect to the property.
This criteria goes to whether reasonable use can be made of the property if
the Ordinance is literally enforced. In this case, the lot does have a building
envelope of 13,640 square feet to accommodate a garage. There is a legal
alternative for the eliminating the variance request.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique
to the property.
The lot exceeds minimum requirements for the R-1 zoning district. The lot is
22,095 square feet. The rear yard is divided by a bank. However, there is
considerable area above the bank to accommodate a garage. There are no
unique circumstances effecting the property which cause unnecessary
hardship. There appear to be alternatives that reduce the hardship which
should be considered by the applicant.
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 lot exceeds the minimum requirements for lots within the R-1 district.
There is a legal building envelope that accommodates the garage in a
different location, thus meeting setbacks. If the applicant moves the garage
to within the legal building envelope, the variance would be eliminated. The
hardship caused by the provisions of the Ordinance is the result of the
applicants proposed building and drive locations.
L:\97FILES\97V AR\97 -065\97 -065PC. DOC
Page 2
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces
substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest.
The intent of the 10 foot side yard setback for structures is to protect
drainage and utility easements, allow for snow storage and automobile
overhangs, and to allow for building separation and access to the rear yard.
The granting of the requested variance is contrary to the intent of the
Ordinance in that the drainage and utility easement would not be
unobstructed. However, if an unobstructed easement can be obtained, then
the spirit and intent of the ordinance can be met.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the variances requested by the applicant, or approve any variances
the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances.
2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose.
3. Deny the application because the Planning Commission finds a lack of
demonstrated hardship under the zoning code criteria.
RECOMMENDA TJON:
Staff has concluded that the intent of the applicant to construct a garage
certainly is reasonable, the proposed location and variance requested does not
warrant undue hardship. There does exist a legal alternative which eliminates
the variance.
ACTION REQUIRED:
A motion adopting Resolution 97 -16PC. If the Planning Commission approves
the variance, staff should be directed to prepare a resolution with findings to be
adopted at the next meeting. In this case, the variance should be approved for a
6' side yard setback (the width of the easement) and the survey should be
revised to show the easement.

BE IT RESOLv"ED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake. Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Alvin Monnens has applied for a variance from Section 5-4-1 of the City Code in
order to permit the construction of a 480 square foot attached garage on property
located in the R-l (Suburban Residential) District at the following location. to wit;
16697 Creekside Avenue, legally described as Lot 15, Jo-Anna Stepka's Hi-View
3rd Addition, Scott County, NlN
1. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variance as contained in
Case #97-065 and held hearings thereon on July 28, 1997.
2. 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.
3. There is a legal building envelope, above the bank dividing the rear yard, that can
accommodate a garage of the proposed size, without a variance.
4. The granting of the variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will serve merely as a
convenience to the applicants. and is not necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship
as alternatives exist.
5. The contents of Planning Case 97-065 are hereby entered into and made a part of the
public record and the record of decision for this case.

instead of the required 10 foot setback.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on July 28, 1997.

SUBJECT SITE:
16697 Creekside Avenue, legally described as Lot 15, JO-ANNA
STEPKA'S HI-VIEW 3RD ADDITION, Scott County, MN.
REQUEST:
The applicants are proposing to construct a 20' by 24' attached
garage on a lot which has 22,095 square feet of lot area and is
100' wide. The garage will have a 5' side yard setback instead of
the required 10 feet.
The Planning Commission will review the proposed construction and requested variance
against the following criteria found in the Zoning Ordinance.
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with
respect to the property.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the
property.
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.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces
substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest.
