Subject: Ordal Variance Application
In regard to the Ordahl application, we have shown on the
attached sketch the location of his proposed building with re-
lation to Bluff Creek.
It appears that he will be well within the 200-foot wide
suggested "Conservation Area" as recommended in the Nason, Wehr-
man, Knight and Chapman, Inc. map showing the Generalized Guide
Plan, and the similar strip noted "Surface Water Resources" on
the Brauer plan (neither report is dated).
Lacking anything more definite, we suggest that you refuse
the building permit on the above criteria. However, in justice
to land owners in these conservation areas, the exact boundaries
probably should be more definitely defined. It is hard to pre-
dict a cost for such a study, but we believe that a set of half
section maps might be utilized, and a minimum of field work done.

3OA3D OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPZALS - July 21, 1973
The meeting of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals was called to order
at 9z40 A.M. Saturday, July 21, 1973. Present were Nick Waritz, Dean Scheff
and Anne Neils.
JAMES BIXLER presented his request for a variance from Sec. 7,05 0£
Ordinance #47. Discussion followed.
A motion was made by Dean Scheff and seconded by Nick Waritz to re-
commend the granting of a variance of 5 ft. front yard and 15 ft. rear
yard. The strict enforcement of the ordinance would not allow the most
desirable location for the house to be utilized. The property abuts a
cul-de-sac and the proposed house location conforms with others in the
area. The following voted in favor thereofz Waritz, Scheff and Neils.
RICHARD ORDAL was present requesting a variance from Sec. 18 0f
Ordinance #47. He would also need a variance from Sec. 7.05 of Ordin-
ance #47. He proposes to locate his drainfield on property which he
does not -own. The site is in the proposed Highway #212 corridor and
also in the Generalized Guide Plan green -way area. Mro Ordal's re-
quest should be presented to the Planning Commission and the Park and
Recreation Commission before it is acted tpon by the Board of Adjust-
mants and Appeals.
TIMOTHY STONE was present requesting a variance from Sec. 7.05 of
Ordinance #47. Discussion followed.
A motion was made by Anne Neils and seconded by Nick Waritz to re-
commend the granting of a 13' 1" front yard and a 7' side yard variance
for a garage. A 40' road easement on the south side of the property is
a proposed walkway in the Carver Beach Study. The eastern part of the
property is steep slpoe and unbuidable. The geography, lot size* tree
location and configura$ion of the existing house will not permit the
garage to be built in strict compliance with the ordinance. The follow-
ing voted in favor thereofz Scheff, Waritz and Neils.
The meeting was adjourned at 11z20.

SITUATION: Richard Or4all has requested
construct a house-: on a 3.22 acre
a building Permit to
site located in the BE k of the
t�W Section 26, Township 116N,
Range 23M. This site is located
on the steeply sloping Hayden soil adjacent to the flood plain
of Bluff Creek. The creek flows
through the center of the propety.
The elopes range from 12 to 401.
The area is presently well
I
vegetated in grass and trees.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION(S):—Construction of_a functional septic tank and
drain field that will be a minimum of 125 fat away from the creek
and off the steep slopes will be next to impossible.
rlooding along Bluff Creek is a common problem during the
Spring runoff and after extensive rain of long duration.
If the vegetation is removed from the steep slopes, soil
erosion and sediment deposition will be a severe problem.
Additional 1And should be purchased which will accomodate a
house, garage, and drain field.
* Circle appropriate category.

Re: Site review of your property
. on County Road 014
Dear Mr. Ordal;
Upon review of your property, which is located in a
F-1 Flood Plain & Watercourse District, I've found the
(612) 474-8885
following conditions; steep slopes which would cause
an erosion problem and the proposed location of your
house which would be susceptible to flood water inundation.
Ordinance No. 47, Section 18, F-1 Flood Plain & Water-
course District, does not allow the use of land zoned
into this district for the building of homes. You would
have to apply for a variance request before the Board
of Adjustments and Appeals to be able to build on this
land. My recommendation, as zoning Administrator, to
the Board of Adjustments and Appeals would be denial
of any variance request of this nature because of the
hazards of soil erosion and flooding.
Also under the provisions of Ordinance No. 33, Subdivison
Ordinance of the Village of Chanhassen, Section 3:
The Village Council shall serve as the Platting
1` Authority of the Village in accordance with
Minnesota Laws of 1965, Chapter 670 (Minnesota
i Statute Sec. 462.358). No plat, replat, sub-
division of land or registered survey shall be
filed or accepted for filing by the Registrar of
Titles or Register of Deeds of Carver or Hennepin
Counties unless it is accompanied by a certified
copy of a resolution adopted by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the members of the Village
Council approving such plat, replat, subdivision
of land or registered land survey.
Ordinance Nc.. 33 stipulates that this 1.,.id must be
approved for subdivision by the Village Council before
it will be accepted for filing by the Register of
Deeds in Carver County. The land that you purchased
has to go through subdivision proceedings before you
can apply for a variance request from Zoning Ordinance
No. 47.
If there are any questions concerning this letter please
call me at 474-8885.
Sincerely yours,
