and to aliow for housing pads to be placed. Matzke discussed the different grading options that can be
accomplished. Option one proposes grading across the corner of his neighbor's property; however, the
developer has been attempting to reach an agreement with the neighbor to allow this grading but has
not been successful fo this date. Option two shows a retaining wail following fhe property line between
Jason Miller and his neighbor and then grading out the City owned parcel. Since the developer would
be able to grade farther back on the hill there is more room for separafion between the proposed
retaining wails. The neighbor currently has a wall along his access point. He does not have an
easement for this wall, but it was approved by the City in 2002 through a building permit process. The
developer's Option 2 grading plan proposes the removal of this boulder wall city does have
concems about removing the boulder wall. The City Staff believes there a.r.'Q�o��r aiternatives to grade
the area and the City Engineer will discuss these further in a few momerif�: This s9te has been a
,j : :•
challenging development project. City Staff has been trying to work,v��tti;fh� developer on what
alternative or what design might best fit the area. While the Planni_r���Commission input and fhe

via building permit process and you have both saic! that the city is thinking iYs besf to leave if alone
because if was approved under such a process? Is that just out of fairness to the existing homeowner
or is there any rislc of legal action that we might be worried about or why has the cify staff stated that
here tonighf?
Engineer Poppler responded, our legal counsei has advised us that the wall should remain.

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes �
Oclober 24, 2011
Roszak asked the appficant, of these options that have been proposed for access, do you have a
preference?"
Applicant Jason Miller responded, I have a preference to choose one of the two options that 1
provided the city with. Obviously my first preference is to go with two smafl four foot high retaining walls
and that is not the option that is probabiy right in front of you at this moment because we have to go
wifh the option where we also put that small point in and go around our neighbors so that is my first
option. I chose that because it is the absolute minimurn amount of retaining wa11s that I could put in. It
does still leave a small point of retaining wa11s fhaYs higher than I would like to see, but the farther I
push the retaining walls back against that point and the more landscaping : t�e�,l have between the two
little four foot wafls that ! am proposing, the mare pine trees and other thj :. g� tFi�t-�I can put in to beautify
the slope of that hill, so I thought one big green grassy slope woufd look;:l�etter. I fhink afl the other
options that the cify is proposing right now which try to keep the n�g�{��r'Js7etaining walls in place will
require at least 20 feet in haight of additional retaining walls. Theri;X�he walls;�fend the large height for
{... .�::: :•:,
a longer segment length farther beyond the wall segment len th,of� hat I am<pTpposing ta the city.

Applicant Miller responded, when you're 1oof�tn'g'��t�fl?e walls froi'ri::tti� freeway looking up at
them, they're still going to look like twenty feet of�total�'walE;;;so,to have o{tie�small point at seventeen feet

Commiss9oner Com
�:'..
Howley stated, I will attack this one aspect at a time as Jeff guided us. Concerning the variances, 1'm
willing to supporE fhese variances. The reasons being are there's some property there that the land
owner wants to develop and he certainfy has some problematic challenges in front of them. 7hat
creating the best separation from the lake he's not trying to build five homes he's reducing it to three so
there's obviously been a litt(e bit of give on his side and the cify's given him a little bit of give on the city
variances so I think the hardship findings are met in this case and there are practical difficu[ties
certainly not created by this landowner. Highway '�3 coming fhrough the whole access with the lake
being righf there, the regulations changing over time, these srrtall lake lots. I am going to support the
variance application tonight.

Roszak stated, i do feel it meets the hardship requiremenfs. I think the applicant's done a go�d jab
meeting fhe engineering requirements for the variance request. I hope we can somehow work out the
access for the benefit af all the parties involved. I can support the variance as presented.
Perez stated, as Jeff and Larry both poinfed out, this is a difficult project - the size of 1he lots, where
they're Eocated, the history on these parcels. l think everyone's been diligent with finding something
that wi(! work for both parties and I think these variances are warranted and:�Y�,ctical difficuity. it's been

documented very well so I will be supporting the variances as well. �t;%'��� ''����.

Howley sta���f;okay. You knot�i?�typicall�i municipafities don't like things in their right of way, being at
s �...; ,
this is city-owri@�I;;property kind�Q��changes my thinking a little bit. I guess I am inclined to say the
existing retaining>>iv�ll g�;yand it should get graded out to limit the retaining walls and the
developer should I��i�dscape t�,`e' heck out of it, that's my opinion. Now, I would thinEc as part of the Cify
Council packets there �s[iouEd��e a goad memo from the City Attorney as to why this may not be
advisable, and maybe t'��y`can say no we're leaving it in there and then we're down to what
alternatives are in front��f us, but my recommendation would be to remove that retaining wall and grade
it out and landscape it as best as possible. I will say as to the city's couple alternatives I like the tiered
wall better (Alternative 2) obviously, the more tiers the better. !n a rebuttal to the developer's question,
"Is it going to look like one big wa117" Well it's not because there are going to be trees in between it sa
it's not go9ng to look like one big wall, iYs going to look (ike a short wall with trees, a shor# wall with
trees, and a short wall with trees so thaYs why I think I like thaf alternative which is what Cammissioner
Roszak was mentioning as weli, but again being put on the spot with a recommendation of which
alternative we prefer I think we're hard pressed to do, to be honest but my gut feeling is get rid of the

resisting wall and grade the heck out of it and put some landscaping in there but fhaYs the facts that I
know as of now so that's what I'm gaing to sticEc with but I wi11 support the preliminary and final plat.
Perez stated I also wifl be recommending approval of the preliminary and final plats, as far as the
projecf, it just got a little more difficult with this retaining wafl and whether it should stay or be moved.
Obviously the best option would be if the neighbor would woric with the developer, thaYs something that
we can't controf, but obviously that would be the best option as far as I'm concerned. As far as the other
alternatives, with the City's legal counsel saying the wall needs to stay or recommending it should stay,
I would listen fo the City's legal advice on that. So of the alternatives, I agree with my fellow
commissioners the tiered wall (Alternative 2} is prabably the best remainin� ;s;ipt�on out there.
Nowley stated, one more point, on the east end, the far east end it look�`like thei'e is the outlet of the
underground system it looks like there is a four foof bust in the gradiC��>�� 922 contour ties in and
then the 920 contour from the MNDOT right of way doesn't tie into w�l(:��;afl so something that`s

development that you had in the summer by Ryland Homes with the Jeffers Pond 4th addition. They
as well had to vacate some of the easements prior to the final approval of a re-plat basically so the
new easements can be dedicated with the new plat. ThaE's why this is being brought before you
tonight so that the planning comrrtission does hear all land use changes and offers their
recommendations to City Councif based on those. There is a couple determinations that the
planning commission makes in regards to vacating easements or vacating right of way and that's
does it comply with the comprehensive plan and is tFtere a public need or anticipated future need for
the designated easements. In fhis case, fhis new plat will designate the required easements in the

PLANNING COMMISSION AGE{VDA REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 4A
SUBJECT: CONSEDER A VARIANCE TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION
OF A BALCONY ON A PROPERTY IN THE R-'[ {LOW
DENSITY} ZONING DISTRICT
SITE ADDRESS: 6424 CONROY STREET NE
PREPARED BY: JEFF MATZKE, PLANNER
PUBLIC HEARING: X YES NO-NIA
DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 2011
lNTRODUCTION
Bob Welsch, property owner of the subject property, is requesting a variance in order to allow for the
construction of a baicony on a property located at 6424 Conroy Street NE. The property is locafed
along the northern shores of Lower Prior Lake, souEh of Greenway Avenue, and west of Shady Beach
Trail. The property currentiy contains a s9ngle famiiy home. The following variance is requested:
• A 25.2 foot variance from fhe required minimum 50 foof sfructure setback from fhe Ordinary
High Wafer (OHW} elevation of Prior Lake using fhs average lake setbacks of adjacer►t
properties (Section 9104, 308).
BACKGROUND
The property is zoned R-1 (Low Density Residential), and is guided R-LD (Urban Low Density) on the
2030 Camprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The property currently contains a singfe famiiy home.
DISCUSSION
Bob Welsch proposes to construct a 7' x 18' balcony located at fhe rear of the house. The property
currently contains a lower level deck area but no upper level deck area. The proposed balcony
identifies a cantilever canstruction from the exisfing hause with no connecting stainrvay. The existing
and proposed structure setbacks from the OHW of Prior Lake (904 elevafion} are as foflows:
Structure Setback from
Lake ft.
Existing house 31.8'
Existin lower level deck 14.1'
Pro osed balcon 24.8'
The current City Ordinance pertaining to fhe average structure setback from the OHW of the lake is as
follows:
1704.308 (2y Setback Requirements For Resic[ential Structures: On shoreland lots that
have 2 adjacenE lots with existing principal structures on both such adjacent

: ..... _ ,. , _ �
lots, any new residential struc#ure or any additions to an existing structure •
may be set back the average setback of the adjacent structures from the
ordinary high-water mark or 50 feet, whichever is greater, provided all other
provisions of the Shoreland Overiay District are complied with.
Many other residential properties within the neighborhood have similar sfructure setbacks from the lake
as identi€ied on the atfached survey. The average lake setback of the 4 nearby lakeshore properties is
30.9 feet. The balcony will be constructed from decking material with a minimum %" spacing between
the deck boards; t�erefore, no additional impervious surface is proposed as a resuEt of the project.
ANALYStS
Variance Hardship Findings
Section 1108.400 states that the Board of Adjustment may granf a variance from the strict application ofi
the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, provicfed that:
(1) There are practical difficulties in complying with the strict terms of the Ordinance.
"Practical difficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a Variance, means the
property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonabfe manner not permitted by the
Zoning Ordinance. �conomic conslderations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
If appears practical difficulties exist for the applicant in this case. The current structure setback
from the lake to the lower Ievel deck area is 14.1 feet. The applicant praposes a setback of 24.8
feet which is greater than the existing {ower level deck setback. In additian, it is generally
reasonable for lakeshore properties to construct upper level decks at the rear of the house.
(2) The granting af the Variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the
City Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan.
Two purposes of the Zoning Ordinance are to "promote the most appropriate and arderly
development of the residential, business, industrial, public land and public areas" and "enhance the
aesthetic character and appearance of the City." 7he approval of the variance as requested would
allow the applicant to construct a modest balcony to enhance the aesthetic character of the
property while not affecting adjacent property views.
(3) The granting of the Variance is necessary to permit the reasonable use of the property
invo{ved.
The variance is necessary to use the property in a reasonable manner. {t is generally
reasonable for lakeshore properties to construct upper level decks at the rear of the house.
(4) The practical difficulty is due to circumstances unique to the property not resulting from
actions of the owners of the property and is not a mere convenience to the property owner
and applicant.
The practical difficulty does exist due to circumstances unique to the property. The proper�y is
99.9 feet in depth from fhe front lot line to the lakeshore. The limited depth of the property and
minimum buildable foofprinf allowed under the Zoning Ordinance has resulfed in an existing
nonconforrt�ing decreased setback from the lake. The proposed lake setback of the balcony
(24.8 feet} will not encroach further into the setback from the lake to the existing lower levef deck
(14.1 feef).
(5) The granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or
be detrimentaf to the health and safety of the public welfare.
____ __ . _.. __ _ __.. - ___ . _. _.....
__... ___..... . __. _......... ................_ ,
The granting of the variances will not alter the existing character of the neighborhood. As
identified in the survey on file, many nearby lakeshore properties have nonconforming lake
setbacks and upper level deck areas similar #o the proposed balcony.
(6) The granting of the Variance will not result in allowing any use of the property that is not
permitted in the zoning district where the subject property is located.
An upper level balcony is an allowed structure within the R-1 (Low Density Residential} Zoning
District.
(7) The granting of the Variance is necessary to alleviate an inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems.
The granfing of the variances will not be necessary to alleviate any hardships of the inability to
use solar energy systems.
COIVCLUSION
In conclusion, the applicanf proposes to construcf a 7' x 18' upper level balcony located at the rear of
the house. The current structure setback from the lake to the existing lower fevel deck is 14.1 feet.
The proposed strucfure setback from #he lake to the balcony is 24.8 feet which is greater than the
existing nonconforming setback. Many other neighboring properties have similar setbacks and upper
level deck areas. Therefore, City Staff recflmmends approval of the requested variance.
ALTERNATIVES
9. Approve the variances requested by the applicant with the listed conditions, or approve any
variance 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 pracfical
difficulties under the zoning code criteria.
ACTION REQUIRED
This request requires fhe fol(owing motions:
1. A motion and second adopting Resolution 11-10PC approving the following variances:
• A 25.2 foot variance from the required minimum 50 foof strucfure setback from the Ordinary
High Wafer (OHVI� elevafion of Prior Lake using the average lake sefbacks of adjacent

5. Two purposes o# the Zoning �rdinance are to "promote the most appropriate and orderly
development of the residential, business, industrial, public land and pubfic areas" and "enhance fhe
aesthefic character and appearance of the Cify." The approval of the variance as requested would
allow the app{icant to construct a modest balcony to enhance the aesthetic character of the properfy
while not affecfing adjacent property views.
6. The variance is necessary to use the property in a reasonable manner. It is generally reasonable
for lakeshore properties to construct upper level decks at the rear of the house.
7, The practicaf difficulty does exist due to circumstances unique to the property. The property is 99.9
feet in depth from the front lot line fo the lakeshore. The limited depth of the property and minimum
buildable footprint allowed under the Zoning Ordinance has resulted in an existing nonconforming
decreassd setback from the lake. The proposed lake setback of the bafcony (24.8 feet) will not
encroach further into the setbacic from the lake to the existing lower level deck (14.1 feef).
8. The granting of the variances will nof alter the existing character of the neighborhood. As identified
in the survey on file, many nearby lakeshore properties have nonconforming lake setbacks and
upper level deck areas similar to the proposed balcony.
9. An upper level balcony is an allowed structure wifhin the R-1 (Low Density Residential} Zoning
Distric#.
10. The granting of the variance will nof be necessary to alleviate any hardships of the inabi[ity to use
solar energy systems.

ANALYSIS
Variance Hardship Findings
Section 1108,400 states that the Board of Adjustment may grant a variance from the strict appiication of
the provisions of fhe Zoning Ordinance, provided that:
(1) There are practical difficulties in complying with the strict terms of the Ordinance.
"Practical d{fficulties," as used in connection with the granting of a Variance, means the
property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the
Zoning Ordinance. Economic considerations alone do not constltute practical difficulties.
Practical difficulties do exist for the applicant to achieve a level of screening between the
residential and commercial uses. 7he Zoning Ordinance does allow for an 8 foot fence to be
installed as part of a bufferyard between differing land uses within a rear or side yard; however,
the Zoning Ordinance does not allow such a fence within the front yard. ln this case the
residential front yard is adjacenf to the cammercial property as well; therefore the proposed
screening of this front yard appears justified.
(2) The granting of the Variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the
City Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan.
Two purposes of the Zoning Ordinance are to "Protect the residenfial, business, industrial and
public areas of the community and maintain their stability" and "Provide for compatibility of different
land uses by segregating, controlling and regulating unavoidable nuisance producing uses." The
approvaf of the variances as requested would allow the applicant to provide screening between
the differing land uses.
(3) The granting of the Variance is necessary to permit the reasonabte use of the property
involved.
The variances are necessary to use the properEy in a reasonable manner. It is a common
occurrence to construct a high level of screening and buffering befween residential and
commercial land uses.
(4} The practical difficulty is due to c9rcumstances unique to the property not resulfing from
actions of the owners of the property and is not a mere convenience to the property owner
and applicant.
The practical difficulty does exist due to circumstances unique to the property. The two property
fand uses are in close proximity to one anather and screeninglbuffering is common in such
situations.
�5) The grant+ng of the variance will not alter the essential characfer of the neighborhood or
be detrimenta! to the health and safety of the public welfare.
The granting of the variances will not alter the existing character of the neighborhood. The
proposed setback of the fence (14 feet from front property line) will noE impede fraffic safety and
visibilify nor will it impede snow storage for the adjacent street. Although the fence is proposed
compfetely on private property, the setbac[c from the street can be a concern to allow for
adequate snow storage and minimize the potential risk of damage during snow plowing (heavy
snow being pushed against the fence); however, the proposed 15' set-back meets or exceeds the
average distance snow can be pushed during plowing events.
(6) 7he granting of the Variance will not result in allowing any use of the property that is not
permitted in the zoning disfrict where the subject property is located.
A solid vinyi fence is an allowed an accessory structure within the R-1 (Low Density Residential)
Zon{ng District.
(7) The granting of the Variance is necessary to alleviate an inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems.
The granting of the variances will not be necessary to alleviate any hardships of the inability to
use solar energy systems.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the applicant proposes to install a solid 8 foot vinyl fence along fhe east properfy line to �
within a 14 foot setback from the front property line (95 feet from the curb). The solid fence will achieve
a higher level of screening from the adjacent commerciaf land use than the typical 4 foot, 50% opacity
fence allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. The 14 foot front setback wilf permit the fence fo provide
screening befween the properties without impeding traffic visibility and snow storage areas adjacent to '
the street. Therefore, Cify Staff recommends approval of the requested variances.

i
1. Sterling State Bank is requesting variances from the Zoning Ordinance to allow a fence in the front
i
yard of a property in the R-1 (Low Density) Zoning District af fhe following locafion, to wit;
;
3904 Green Heights Trail SW, Prior Lake, MN 55372 l i

the recorded plat thereof, lying Westerty of the following described line: f
Beginning at a point on the Southerly line of said l.ot 20, 50 feet Easterly of the most Southerly corner
thereof; thence in a Northwesterly direction through a point to the shore of Prior Lake and there
terminating, said point described as follows: Commencing at the most Southerly corner of Lot 20; i
thence North 28 degrees 48 minufes 20 seconds west along the Westeriy line of Lot 20 a distance of
182.4 feet; thence Narth 56 degrees 05 minutes 40 seconds East 63 feet to said point.
Torrens Property
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application far the variance as contained in Case #11- '
127 and held a hearing thereon on November 14, 2011. ',
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, j
safety, and welfare of the cammunity, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, lighf and air,
danger of fire, risk to fhe public safety, the effect on property values in the surrounding area and the
effect of the proposed variance on the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Practical difficulties do exist for the applicant to achieve a level of screening between the residential
and commerciaf uses. The Zoning Ordinance does allow for an 8 foot fence to be installed as part
of a bufferyard between differing land uses within a rear or side yard; however, the Zoning
Ordinance does not allow such a fence within the front yard. In this case the residential front yard is j
adjacent to the commercial property as well; therefore the proposed screening of this front yard ',
appears justified. ',
5. Two purposes of the Zoning Ordinance are to "Protect the residential, business, industrial and public
areas of the community and maintain fheir stability" and "Provide for compatibility of different land uses ',
by segregating, controlling and regulating unavoidable nuisance producing uses." The approval of the ',
variances as requested would ailow the applicant to provide screening between the differing land ,
uses. '

6. The variances are necessary to use the property in a reasonabie manner. It is a common
occurrence to construct a high level of screening and buffering between residentiai and commercial
land uses.
7. The practical difficuity does exist due to circumstances unique to the property. The two property
land uses are in close proximity to one another and screening/buffering is common in such
situations.
8. The granting of fhe variances will not alter the existing character of the neighborhood. The
proposed setback of the fence (14 feet from front property line) will not impede traffic safety and
visibility nor will it impede snow storage for the adjacent street. Although the fence is proposed
completely on private property, the setback from the street can be a concern fo allow for adequate
snow storage and minimize the potential risk of damage during snow plowing (heavy snow being
pushed against the fence); however, the proposed 15' set-back meets or exceeds the average
distance snow can be pushed during plowing events.
9. A solid vinyl fence is an allowed an accessory structure within the R-1 (Low Density Res'sdential}
Zoning District.
10, The granting of the variance will not be necessary to alleviate any hardships of the inability to use
solar energy systems.
11. The confents of Planning Case #11-127 are hereby entered into and made a pa�f of the public
record and the record of decision for this case.

���v _ _ _..�
The involved residential property is located at 3904 Green Heights Trail, Prior
Lake, MN. Sterling State Bank would like to install a solid eight foot ta11 vinyl fence
between tlie involved property and the adjacent commercial propei�ty. The adjacent
comniercial property co►isists of a restaurant/bar/marina operated under the name of
Captain Jack's. Captain Jack's is a popular public destination which generates significant
noise and h�affic during the afternoon, evening, and early morning hours. This noise and
traffic sig�iificantly impaits the quiet use and enjoyment of tlie involved property. For
instance, a restaurant ventilation fan continuously generates a loud drone which can be
lieard inside tlie residence located on the involved property. '
An additional pt�rpose of the fence is to provide a distinct separatian of the two
propei�ties' uses. For example, the fi•ont yard of the involved property con#ains a patio
area while the�correspanding area of the commercial pr•opei�ty consists of a fenced in area
co�itaining garbage dumpsters and grease holding areas. Please see the attached
photographs, It is hoped the height, opacity, and a limited set back of the fence will
impair or muffle the noise geiierated by Captain Jack's patrons and operations in tlie
evening and early morning hours, along with providing a barriex• between the properties'
two distinct uses.
Based on the foregoing, Sterling State Bacilc requests a variance of Prior Lake
Zoning Ordii�ance 1101.504 (Fences i�i Residential Use Districts) et al., as to the height,
opacity, and set back requirements for a rasidential fence. Specifically, Sterling State
B�nlc requests a variance to instatl an eight {8) foot tall vinyl fence which would be 100%
opaque in the fi�ont yard of thc involved propei�y to within 15 feet of the street curb of
Green Heights` Trail. �
i
' It should be notcd tl�e sa�ne type of fence will be installed along tlie side and year yard of involved
property, but that no variance is required pursuant t� Prioc Lake Zoning Ordinance 1101.504 si��ce the
fence separates a conimercial and residential use.
