SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a variance to the required front setbacks to install a privacy fence at 7024 Dakota Ave. BACKGROUND This property is located in the Colonial Grove at Lotus Lake neighborhood, platted in 1956. The home 3 was constructed in 1967 according to Carver County property data. The driveway extends from Dakota Avenue which makes the property along Dakota Avenue the front yard by municipal code, despite the front door, or main entrance, being located along Dakota Circle. Due to the steep grade on the west side of the property, the driveway was placed off the side of the house on Dakota Avenue to comply with city standards for driveway slope. Consequently, the single- family home itself on the property is considered lawful nonconforming to the front setback, and is located an estimated 25 feet and 4 inches from the front property line at its closest point. DISCUSSION RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Chanhassen Planning Commission approve the requested front-yard setback variance to install a privacy fence as demonstrated in the plan set. ATTACHMENTS Application Narrative Survey Staff Report Findings of Fact 4 5 6 7 Development Review Application – Description of Proposal 7024 Dakota Ave – Variance Request Kory Yamada located at 7024 Dakota Ave Chanhassen; MN 55317 is requesting a variance to be able to build a privacy fence 20 feet from Dakota Ave. Today the property located along Dakota Ave is considered Kory Yamada’s side yard. This is because her driveway is also located on the Dakota Ave. However, her front door is located on Dakota Circle. In speaking with Rachel Jeske, a city planner for Chanhassen, it was determined that, the driveway was required to come off the side of the house because of the steep grade on the west side, which would not have met the city’s standards for driveway slope. The driveway location is the only reason that the side of the house is considered the "front yard" by city code. To have this Variance approved would allow Kory Yamada to make necessary upgrades to her property. This new fence would not only improve a city of Chanhassen’s residents’ quality of life but also increase the value of her home and neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration on this matter. 8 9 PH (952) 227 -1100 • ChanhassenMN.gov 7700 MARKET BOULEVARD • PO BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN • MINNESOTA • 55317 Application: Variance (Planning Case #2026-09) Staff Report Date: June 30, 2026 Drafted By: Rachel Arsenault, Planner II Rachel Jeske, Planner II Gwendolyn Kelley, Community Planning Intern Planning Commission Review Date: July 7, 2026 60-Day Action Deadline: August 4, 2026 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Applicant is requesting a variance to the front setback requirements to allow for the installation of a privacy fence at 7024 Dakota Ave. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The city’s discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether the proposed project meets the standards in the zoning ordinance for a variance. The city has a moderate LOCATION: 7024 Dakota Ave. PID: 25-2300130 OWNER: APPLICANT: Kory Yamada Next Day Fences PRESENT ZONING: Single-Family Residential (RSF) 2040 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density ACREAGE: 0.47 PROPOSED MOTION: “The Chanhassen Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, approves the requested front yard setback variance for a fence at the property located at 7024 Dakota Avenue.” 10 level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Chapter 20 – Article 20-II – Division 20-II-3 Variances Chapter 20 – Article 20-XII RSF Single-Family Residential District Chapter 20 – Article 20 XXIII – Division 20-XXIII-5 Fences and Walls PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a variance from the required front yard setback to install a privacy fence at 7024 Dakota Ave. BACKGROUND/ EXISTING CONDITIONS This property is located in the Colonial Grove at Lotus Lake neighborhood, platted in 1956. The home was constructed in 1967 according to Carver County property data. Because its driveway extends from Dakota Avenue, the property along Dakota Avenue is considered the front yard by municipal code, despite the front door, or main entrance, being located along Dakota Circle. Due to the steep grade on the west side of the property, the driveway was placed off the side of the house on Dakota Avenue to comply with city standards for driveway slope. Consequently, the single-family home itself on the property is considered lawful nonconforming to the front setback and is located an estimated 25 feet and 4 inches from the front property line at its closest point. The standard Residential Single Family (RSF) zoning district front yard setback is 30 feet. ZONING OVERVIEW The subject property is a corner lot at the intersection of Dakota Avenue and Dakota Circle. City Code Section 20-1023 states that for fences installed on corner or double fronted lots, “the front yard shall be determined by the location of the property's access by a driveway to the public street.” Fence heights and locations are regulated based on the proposed fence material. City Code Section 20-1023 states that “Fences in the required front yard setback area that are opaque shall not exceed three feet in height.” The applicant is proposing a 6-foot cedar privacy fence to be installed 20 feet behind the front lot line along Dakota Ave. The installation of the cedar privacy fence would encroach 10 feet into the 30-foot front yard setback area required for opaque fence construction. 11 The proposed fence location shows a reasonable use of the property, as it encloses the area that acts as the rear yard for the property. The fence is not proposed to obstruct sight lines within the public right of way. PROPOSED FENCE ANALYSIS Section 20-58 of the City Code provides the following criteria for the granting of a variance: a. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Finding: The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the chapter, as well as the comprehensive plan. 12 b. When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. "Practical difficulties" as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Finding: The requested variance has practical difficulty in complying with the zoning ordinance due to the slope of the property and the resulting layout of the home and the driveway on the property. The property owner is proposing a reasonable use of the property that requires a variance for fence installation. c. That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone. Finding: The variation is not based on economic considerations alone. d. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Finding: The plight of the landowner is due to circumstance to the property created by the slope on the property, and the subsequent location of the driveway and the home on the property built in 1967, not created by the property owner. e. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the locality as the front-yard is only considered such due to the unique location of the driveway and otherwise complies with municipal code. f. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter. Finding: The proposed is not an earth-sheltered construction and therefore not applicable. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Chanhassen Planning Commission approve the requested front-yard setback variance to install a privacy fence as demonstrated in the plan set. 13 CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION IN RE: Application by Next Day Fences for a variance to the front yard setback for the installation of a fence on a property zoned Single Family Residential District (RSF) – Planning Case 2026-09.

CHANHASSEN PLANNING COMMISSION BY: Its Chairperson 15 Exhibit A Lot 21 and 22, Block 1 of the Colonial Grove at Lotus Lake Plat 16 Planning Commission Item July 7, 2026 Item Ordinance XXX: Amending Chapters 10, 12, 16, and 20, Minor Code Amendments File No.Item No: B.2 Agenda Section PUBLIC HEARINGS Prepared By Eric Maass, Community Development Director Applicant City of Chanhassen Present Zoning Land Use Acerage Density Applicable Regulations Section 10-230 Short Term Rental Licensing Section 12-13 No Parking, Stopping or Standing Zones Section 16-21 Container Storage Section 20-645 Lot Requirements and Setbacks Section 20-905 Single-Family Dwellings Section 20-921 Pervious Pavement Section 20-1176 Intent, Scope And Compliance SUGGESTED ACTION The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve the ordinance as proposed to adopt the various minor code amendments. SUMMARY The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to consider amending Chapters 10, 12, 16 and 20 of the Chanhassen City Code to align with typical practice in neighborhoods, clarify parking restriction 17 authority, remove unnecessary design standards, eliminate contradictions in code and correct minor formatting errors. BACKGROUND DISCUSSION RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the ordinance amendments as proposed. ATTACHMENTS Code Amendment Memo Redlined Code Amendment Ordinance 18 PH (952) 227 -1100 • ChanhassenMN.gov 7700 MARKET BOULEVARD • PO BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN • MINNESOTA • 55317 Date: June 29, 2026 From: Gwendolyn Kelley; Community Planning Intern Rachel Arsenault; Planner II Rachel Jeske; Planner II Eric Maass, Community Development Director To: City of Chanhassen City Council City of Chanhassen Planning Commission Re: Amending Chapters 10, 16, 20, and 12 of Chanhassen City Code, Minor Code Amendments Community Development staff have compiled a list of minor amendments to Chapters 10, 12, 16, and 20 of the Chanhassen City Code for the Planning Commission’s review. While the Planning Commission only has recommending authority over subdivision ordinances (Chapter 18) and zoning ordinances (Chapter 20), staff is bringing all proposed amendments through in a single ordinance document for clarity. These minor updates will eliminate contradictions, remove unnecessary design standards, correct minor formatting errors, and align the code with typical neighborhood practices. Suggested Action: 1) Amend Chapter 10, Sec 10-230(a-b): Short-Term Rental Licensing to clarify roles and eliminate repetitive language Staff reasoning: The proposed amendment designates the Community Development Director (or designee) as the authority for requests to adjust short-term rental parking limits, replacing the vague term “the city.” It also removes language on waste container storage on collection day to avoid repetition with the container storage section of the code. 2) Amend Chapter 16, Sec 16-21: Container Storage to define a specific timeline for placing and removing waste containers for collection Staff reasoning: The proposed amendment replaces the vague language (“except on the day of pickup”) with a specific timeline to allow containers to be placed in the public view 24 hours before collection and for no more than 24 hours after collection. This would align code with the 19 standard neighborhood practice of putting bins out the night before collection and removing them after work, and is recommended to aid city code enforcement efforts and by the city attorney to resolve frequent resident complaints. 3) Amend Chapter 20, Sec 20-645: Lot Requirements and Setbacks for single family dwellings and detached townhomes in the Residential Low Medium (RLM) District Staff reasoning: The proposed amendment modifies the side yard setback for single family dwellings and detached townhomes from “five feet on garage side and ten feet on house side. Minimum separation between structures on adjacent parcels shall be 15 feet ” to “Minimum separation between structures on adjacent parcels shall be 15 feet with a setback of no less than 5 feet on either adjacent property”. This modification gives greater construction flexibility and the ability to respond to changes in elevation that affect driveway slope while maintaining a commensurate level of staff review between adjacent properties . 4) Amend Chapter 20, Sec 20-905: Single-Family Dwellings to remove unnecessary design standards Staff reasoning: The proposed amendment eliminates unnecessary design standards including minimum square footage for specific home types and mandatory two-car garage requirements. These are not mandated by state statute or building code and can be left to market preference. The amendment also eliminates code requiring a landing running the full width of exterior stairs or access doors. A landing is not required by building code and must fit within lot coverage allowance for a property, which could impact the ability to construct a deck which is an alternative to creating lot cover. 5) Amend Chapter 20, Sec 20-921(e), Pervious Pavement to eliminate a code inconsistency Staff reasoning: The proposed amendment removes contradictory lot cover regulations to defer entirely to Shoreline Management District code, which restricts residential single-family properties to 30% impervious lot cover, with specific requirements applied to lot cover exceeding 25%. 6) Amend Chapter 20, Sec 20-1176 Intent, Scope And Compliance to update fence design regulations Staff reasoning: The proposed amendment replaces an outdated figure with a table that describes height, opacity, and typical material requirements for fencing. 7) Amend Chapter 20, Sec 20-1256 and Chapter 20 Sec 20-1275 to add “reserved” to the empty code Staff reasoning: This proposed revision is largely a formatting update following the lengthy update to the recent sign code update. 8) Amend Chapter 20 Sec 20-1275 to add “reserved” to the empty code 20 Staff reasoning: This proposed revision is largely a formatting update following the lengthy update to the recent sign code update. 9) Amend Chapter 12-13 of the City Code to clarify no parking regulations Staff reasoning: On occasion, the City must temporarily designate public streets as no parking and while a common practice year round, this language helps clarify that authority. Additionally, item “c” makes clear the Carver County Sherrif Office’s abilit y to cite vehicles which violates city no parking regulations. 21 CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO.
