APPROVING A FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE
AT 5000 SCHAEFER ROAD
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Daniel Wagner and Lindsey Gerrity, are requesting a 38.6 foot front yard setback variance to
building an addition to their home at 5000 Schaefer Road.
1.02 The following described tract of land is requested for variance:
Lot 4, Block 1 Harold Addition. Hennepin County,Minnesota.
1.03 City Code Section 850.11, requires a front yard setback to match the front yard setback of the
home to the west. The adjacent home to the west is setback 122.6 feet from Interlachen
Boulevard.
1.04 The applicant is proposing an addition that is located 84 feet back from Interlachen Boulevard.
1.05 On August 22,20122, the Planning Commission approved the Variances on a Vote of 6-1.
1.06 On September 4, 2012, Deena Allen Fruchtman, 6405 Interlachen Boulevard, appealed the
Planning Commission decision to the City Council.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
1. With the exception of the variance requested,the proposal would meet the required
standards and ordinances for the R-1,Single Dwelling Unit District.
2. The proposal would meet the required standards for a variance,because:
a. The proposed use of the property is reasonable;as it is consistent with surrounding
properties is deeper than the nonconforming setback that has historically been
provided by the existing garage.
3. The imposed setback limits design opportunity. The intent of the ordinance is to provide
adequate spacing between structures and the street.Spacing will not change from
Interlachen. The unique circumstance is the original placement of the home relative to the
neighbor's home construction that occurred at a later date than the subject home.
