PLANNING REPORT
DATE: October 14, 1975
TO: Mayor and City Council, Staff and Jim Sulerud
SUBJ: Variance Petition, Jim Sulerud
Planner's Comments:
1. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals duly held a public hearing on
October 9, 1975, to consider Mr. Sulerud's 20 foot front yard variance
request.
2. Adjacent property owner's within 350 feet of the property under
consideration were duly notified pursuant to Ordinance 47.
3. It is my interpretation of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals
comment's that a 20 foot variance as requested may be reasonable if
the City Council receives and approves the following:
a. Statement from a competent, professional Soils Engineer
certifying as to the slope stability of the subject property; identifi-
cation of construction techniques necessary to prevent the structure
from sliding down the hill; and mitigative construction measures
necessary to prevent abnormal erosion of the side slope during
construction and thereafter.
b. Chanhassen's City Attorney's drafting exculpatory language,
to be attached to the building permit, releasing the city from any
liability.
Planner's Recommendation:
If the applicant can produce the documents as requested in item 3a
above, and the City Engineer approves said documents, I feel the
variance as requested should be granted.

to place the house as close as possible to the existing cul de sac in
order to avoid unnecessary tree removal, grading or filling on the site.
Such actions would promote erosion as exists at other locations along
Bluff Creek.
A soil boring (test results attached) at the specific proposed house
location gives evidence that appropriate bearing capacity is present
and that no filling or grading is required. All precautions will be
taken to ensure that the original site elevations will be maintained
after construction.
Zoning regulations for front yard set -backs have resulted to provide for the
following:
(1) enable unobstructed street and utility maintenance,
(2) unobstructed traffic sight lines, and
(3) unobstructed sight lines for neighboring homes to front
and back.
This application requests that no violation of these zoning objectives
be made.

The percolation tests were run in 6-inch diameter holes
to depths of 36 inches, in accordance ;with standard
procedures normally used for City of -Chanhassen approval.
In accordance with standard procedures, the holes were
permitted to soak overnight before the tests were run.
RESULTS
The log of the soil ,encountered and water level observations
are shown on the attached Log of borings sheet.
The boring; encounterod u silty clay to clayey silt from
the surface to the 7 ft. depth and granular soils from
the 7 ft. depth to the determination depth of 25 ft.
Water was not encountered in -probing the boring immediately
after completion and jud.gi.ng from the moisture co:� tent

DRILLING NOTES:
Standard penetration test borings were advanced by 2%" or 3X" I.D. hollow -stem augers unless noted other-
wise. Jetting water was used to clean out auger prior to sampling only where indicated on logs. Standard
penetration test borings are designated by the prefix "ST" (Split Tube).
Power auger borings were advanced by 4" or 6" diameter, con tin uous•flite, solid stem augers. Soil classification
and strata depths are inferred from disturbed samples au_nered to the surface and are therefore somewhat
approximate. Power auger borings are designated by the prefix "B".
Hand probings were advanced manually with.a 1%" diameter probe and are iinzited to the depth from which
* the probe can be manually withdrawn. Hand probings are indicated by the prefix
CLASSI F1 CATION:
Classification on logs is made by inspection in accordance with the Unified Soils Classification System
(see attached chart) using visual -manual procedures unless noted otherwise.
GROUE1.113 WATER:
Observations were made at the times indicated. Porosity of soil strata, seasonal weather conditions, site
-
topography, etc., may cause changes in the water levels indicated on the logs.
SAMPLING:
All samples are taken with the standard 2" O. D. split -tube sampler, except where noted. TW indicates thin-
-wall undisturbed sample.
BPF:
-' Numbers indicate blows per foot recorded in standard penetration test, also known as "N"value. The sampler
is set 6" into undisturbed soil below the hollow -stem augur. Driving resistances are then counted for second
and third 6" increments and added to gat BPF. Where they differ significantly, they are reported in the
.following form — 2/12 for the second and third G" increments respectively.
WH:
WH indicates that sampler penetrated soil under weight of hammer and rods alone, driving not required.
NOTE:
All tests run in accordance with applicable ASTM standards.

PLANNING REPORT
DATE: September 30, 1975
TO: Board of Adjustments and Appeals and James M. Sulerud,
Petitioner
FROM: Bruce Pankonin, City Planner
REF: City Ordinance #47, Section 22.02
Background
1. On June 5, 1972, the Chanhassen Village Council accepted and
approved the plat of Bluff Creek Highlands Second Addition. By
accepting said plat, the City has certified that all created lots
(4) are buildable and legal parcels.
2. The property under consideration, Lot 2, Block 1, Bluff Creek
Highlands Second Addition, is zoned . R-1 Single Family
Residence. Within the R-1 use district, a front yard of 30 feet
is required by Ordinance 47.
3. The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall have the power and
duty of hearing and deciding, subject to review by the Council in
each case, appeals or requests in the following cases:
a. To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged that there
is an error in any order, requirement, decision or determination
made by an administrative officer in the enforcement of this
ordinance.
b. To hear requests for variances from the literal provisions
of the ordinance in instances where their strict enforcement would
cause hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual
property under consideration.
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend, and the
Council shall not grant, a variance unless they find the following
facts:
a. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting
the land, building or use referred to in the application for the
variance.
b. That the granting of the variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights.
C. That the granting of the application will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the
area adjacent to the propperty for which the variance is sought.
d. That the grant of the variance will be in keeping with the
spirit and intent of this ordinance.
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals in recommending, and the Council
in granting, a variance may impose conditions to insure compliance
and to protect adjacent properties. The Board of Adjustments and
Appeals and the Council shall not permit as a variance any use that
is not permitted under this ordinance for property in the zoning
district where the land which is the subject of the variance appli-
cation is located.
Pfc�i-i t i nn
1. Applicant: James M. and Cheryl A. Sulerud
2512 Chicago Avenue South
Minneapolis, Minnesota
2. Legal description and address of property under consideration:
a. Lot 2, Block 1, Bluff Creek Highlands Second Addition
b. 740 Vogelsberg Trail
Chaska, Minnesota 55318
3. Request: Front yard setback variance of twenty (20) feet.
Planner's Comments
1. The property under consideration has unique physiographic
problems associated with the drainage course of Bluff Creek
and the proximity of Vogelsberg Trail to the Creek.
2. Based upon personal inspection of the subject property, in
consultation with the Building Inspector, the positioning of the
house, as proposed, is probably the only buildable site on the
subject property to get an adequate drain field.
Planner's Recommendation
Approve variance as requested because of the following reasons;
1. Serve topography in rear yard;
2. "Insufficient" front yard debt; and
3. the necessity to construct workable onsite septic system.

FROM: Board of Adjustments and Appeals
SUBJ: Mr. James M. Sulerud Variance Request
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals met on the site on October
9, 1975 at 6:30 p.m. The following members were present: Frank
Kurvers, Tom Noonan and Willard Johnson.
ACTION TAKEN:
A motion was made by Frank Kurvers and seconded by Willard Johnson
to deny the 20 foot variance request because of the steep slope
and the poor soil condition. It appears to be all fill and sand.
We also questioned the drain field location and its workability.
Motion unanimously approved.
A motion was made by Willard Johnson and seconded by Frank Kurvers
that in the event he gets Soils Engineering's Certification,
our City Engineer would have to approve a drainage and soil
erosion plan. The City Attorney is to draft a no liability
clause if the house should slide down the hill. If he so chooses
to go ahead with this, we feel it is his responsiblity to pay
for all of the above consultant fees. Motion unanimously approved.
DISCUSSION:
One neighbor was present and told about the hard time he had
keeping his yard from washing out.
