MEMORANDUM
To: St. Anthony Village Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mark Casey, City Manager
From: Breanne Rothstein, AICP, City Planner
Date: City Council Regular Meeting for February 9, 2016
WSB Project No. 02170-28
Request: Request for a variance from the required side yard setback to allow for an
expansion of the current garage at 2841 Coolidge St.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Code requires a side yard setback of 5 feet in the R-1 Residential District. The applicant requests
a variance to construct an addition to the garage which would encroach 3.2 feet into the required side
yard setback to result in a side yard depth of 1.8 feet. The Applicant’s request for a variance from the
side yard setback to allow for the construction the garage addition is reasonable, per the findings listed
in city code. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the variance to encroach into the side yard
setback.
The Planning Commission met on January 25, 2016, held a public hearing (no one spoke regarding the
matter) and recommended approval of the variance, according to the terms in the draft resolution.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant/Owner: Jason & Lisa Johnson
Location: 2841 Coolidge St. NE
Existing Land Use / Low Density Residential/zoned: R-1; Single Family Residential
Zoning:
Surrounding Land North: Low Density Residential / Zoned R-1 - Single Family Residential

CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED VARIANCE
1. Background
13
February 1, 2016
Page 2
The Applicants propose to construct an addition off the back of the house and a small addition to
the garage on the property located at 2841 Coolidge Street NE. According to the submitted plans,
the current garage sits 3.8 feet from the side property line. The applicant is requesting to expand the
garage by 2 feet, which would put the garage 1.8 feet from the side property line. In the R-1 Single
Family Residential district a 5 foot setback from the side property line is required. The Applicants
note that the current garage built in 1948 is very small and it is difficult to make reasonable use of it.
They are proposing to create a 2-car tandem garage and need the variance to add more space to
make the garage more functional.
2. Applicable Codes.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Sections §152.035 through 152.039 R-1 Single-Family
District apply to this proposal. Section 150.039 (F) requires a side yard setback of 5 feet. The
applicant requests a variance to encroach 3.2 feet to result in a side yard depth of 1.8 feet.
Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152 Zoning Code, Section §152.245 VARIANCES (A) Application states
that “An owner of property with an existing structure which does not comply with the zoning code,
or of property on which such a structure is proposed to be constructed, may apply for a variance
upon payment of the fee specified in Chapter 33”.
3. Criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for Variance Approval. Title XV Land Usage, Chapter 152
Zoning Code, Section §152.245, (C) Evidence, lists the criteria the City Council must consider in
determining whether to grant or deny a variance. The applicable criteria include:
1. The subject matter of the application is within the scope of this section.
The application for a variance to the side yard setback is eligible subject matter for variance
criteria because these factors are related to dimensional and/or bulk standards. Criterion met.
2. Strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because:
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted
by the zoning code;
The property owners propose to use the property in a way that is reasonable. The
proposed addition will allow the property owners reasonable use of their garage, which
is not currently possible because of the small size of the garage built in 1948. The
request is the minimum necessary to make reasonable use of the garage. Criterion met.
b. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the property owner;
The plight of the property owner is due to the small size of the garage. Many of the
other properties in the area have two-car garages. Criterion met.
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; and
Granting of this variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
The Applicants are not proposing any new use or density and two car garages exist in
the neighborhood. Criterion met.
d. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical difficulties.
The basis for the practical difficulties is that the existing house has very small one-car
garage. The addition to the garage is based on the desire of the Applicants to use their
14
February 1, 2016
Page 3
garage in a reasonable manner. It is not perceived that economic considerations are the
sole basis of the practical difficulty. Criterion met.
3. The variance, if granted, would be consistent with the City’s comprehensive land use plan.
If the variance is granted the use of the property would remain the same land use as it is today,
single-family residential. The comprehensive plan guides this area for single-family use and the
expansion of the garage will not alter that land use. Therefore, granting of the variance related
to lot coverage would be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Criterion met.
4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning
code.
The intent of the zoning code is to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the city and
its people through the establishment of minimum regulations governing land development and
use. The zoning code is established to: protect the use districts; promote orderly development
and redevelopment; provide adequate light, air, and access to property; prevent congestion in
the public streets; prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by
regulating land, buildings, yards, and densities; and provide for compatibility of different land
uses.
Given these factors, this application is in keeping with the intent of the ordinance to prevent
overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures and provide adequate access to
light and air. Criterion met.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
1. Motion to adopt a resolution approving the request for a variance at 2841 Coolidge Street.
2. Motion to deny the Variance. In the event of a denial, the City Council must state its findings
and any conditions related to denial.
3. Request Additional Information. The Applicant appears to have provided enough information for
the City Council to approve or deny the request.

Variance – Description of Request
In April 2016 we are planning to remodel our house with an addition off the back
and expansion of our garage. The current garage is a small one‐stall garage that is
attached to the house and next to our neighbor’s house. The current size of the
garage is just barely large enough to pull in a full size car (see image attached). We
are barely able to open the doors on one side of the car (if we pull the car in closer to
one side) when the car is in the garage. To make this garage more useful we would
like a variance to move the outside wall closer to our property line on the South side
of the property. We would like to create a 2‐car tandem garage, we would do this by
bringing the front of the garage forward a few feet, and back a few feet (see example
image below). The majority of homes in our neighborhood were either built with 2‐
car garages, or they were added later. We are hoping we can go to 3’ 6” off our
property line, which would give us about 2 more feet of space in the garage, which
should be enough to make it functional.

HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 16-018
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED YARD
SETBACK IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT A LARGER GARAGE AT THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2841 COOLIDGE STREET
WHEREAS, the City of St. Anthony Village received a request from the
Applicants Jason and Lisa Johnson for a variance from the side yard setback to allow the
construction of an expanded garage to result in a side yard setback of 1.8 feet at the
property located at 2841 Coolidge Street on August 12, 2015, legally described as
follows:
Lot 24, Block 1, Murray Heights Addition to Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the property located at 2841 Coolidge Street is located within the
City’s R-1 Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, per Section 150.039 of city code, a side yard setback of 5 feet is
required within the R-1 Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have requested a 3.2-foot variance from the side yard
setback to allow for the construction of a tandem garage; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission acting as the Board of Adjustments and
Appeals, reviewed and considered the request based on the related documents shown in
the Applicant’s application in a public hearing at their regular meeting on January 25,
2016, and recommended approval of the request; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
St. Anthony Village adopts the following findings of fact related to the Applicant’s
variance request:
1. The requested variance is consistent with the standards for granting a variance
as described in Section §152.245 of the St. Anthony Village Zoning Code.
More specifically, the City Council finds that the requested variance is
justified for the following reasons:
a. Strict enforcement of the setback would cause a practical difficulty in
updating and allowing a better use of the home;
b. The request will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood;
c. Allowing the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent
of the City’s Code to provide for compatibility of different land uses. The
project will not have an impact on land use compatibility, overcrowding
the land and concentrating structures nor will it impede access to light or
air.
29
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council’s hereby
approves the requested variance, based on the findings stated herein.
Adopted this 9th day of February, 2016.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: February 9, 2016
Resolution- Approving the City of St. Anthony’s 2016 Pay Equity Implementation Report.
OVERVIEW:
The 1984 Local Government Pay Equity Act (Minnesota Statutes 471.991 to 471.999) requires that the
City of St. Anthony files a pay equity report with the State of Minnesota. The law was instituted to
eliminate any sex-based wage inequities in compensation and benefits for local governments. Per the
Local Government Pay Equity Act, the City of St. Anthony is required to submit a report to the State
of Minnesota every three years. The 2016 report for the 2015 calendar year was submitted January 28,
2016, prior to the deadline of January 31, 2016.
After calculating the City’s pay equity report for 2015, the City of St. Anthony is very confident that
the City will be in compliance with the State of Minnesota pay equity mandate for the 2015 calendar
year. The City will be notified formally by the State of Minnesota regarding compliance later on this
year after they have had an opportunity to review this information.
