Edina, MN
Lot 19, Block 4, Golf Terrace
Request: A 3 foot sideyard setback variance to allow
the conversion of garage area into living area
and a 4 foot front yard setback variance for a
front entry
Ms. Aaker informed the board the subject property is a corner
lot fronting the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Concord
Terrace. The subject home is a one story rambler with an attached
one car garage. Ms. Aaker explained the homeowners are proposing
a dramatic redesign of the home to include the addition of a second
story with four new bedrooms and two bathrooms. The plan also
includes a new entry, dining room, laundry/mudroom and new three
car garage on the main floor. The proponents are hoping to convert
the existing single stall garage with a sideyard setback of 7 feet
into a new family room and to add a roof overhang supported by
posts over the front steps. The family room requires a three foot
sideyard setback variance from the minimum required 10 foot
sideyard and the front entry requires a 4 foot frontyard setback
variance from the 40 foot average setback established along Concord
Terrace.
Ms. Aaker concluded staff could support the variance request
as proposed with the following conditions:
1. The front entry remains unenclosed.
2. Consistent exterior materials are used throughout the
exterior surfaces.
The proponents Mr. and Mrs. Myslvecek were present.
T
Mr. Olson asked the proponents if the large tree would be
saved. Mr. Myslvecek stated that a tree specialist explained to
him that the tree should be fine during and after construction.
A brief discussion ensued with the board in agreement that the
proposed changes to the subject site will be a benefit to the
neighborhood.
Mr. Olson moved approval of the variance as submitted subject
to the condition that the front entry remains unenclosed and that
exterior materials match.
