Jeremy Larson, of Suite Living, presented a PowerPoint and detailed the
application. He gave the background on Suite Living, which was an Assisted
Living and Memory Care facility with seven communities open throughout the
Twin Cities and another six under construction. Larson displayed the site layout,
which was divided between assisted living and memory units. The building would
have 32 units, 20 of which would be assisted living units and 12 which would be
memory care units. The building would be secure, as would the patio area, and the
Memory Care facility would have 24-hour supervision. He displayed the
rendering and explained the SmartSide and stone material choices. The
development incorporated dormers for a more residential look. Trees did have to
be removed; trees would also be planted and screening incorporated. He displayed
a photograph of the Little Canada development showing the same type of
elevation and interior renderings of the units, nursing station, and amenities.
Residents would be allowed to bring in their own furniture. He played a video that
further explained life in the proposed development.
Farr asked if the required move of the underground stormwater chamber had been
addressed. Larson replied this was a condition of approval. Mette asked for a
sense of the facility’s place along the expense spectrum, and Larson replied this
would be a more affordable facility. Due to the high care nature of care, there
would not be the amenities provided, such as a workout room or a cinema, that
other, more expensive facilities would offer.
Larson replied residents stayed in the assisted living facility an average of two to
four years, then moved over to the Memory Care. Mette asked if he foresaw
transportation issues with emergency or larger vehicles. Larson replied he did not
foresee the use of firetrucks or ambulances at this building.
Pieper asked if there was neighborhood input, and Larson replied a neighborhood
meeting was held, and there were no major concerns. He pointed out there were at
least two neighbors present. Taylor asked if there could be more skilled nursing at
the facility. Larson replied that was a possibility and could be accommodated if
needed, although their facilities did not provide the level of care up to the nursing
home care level.
Klima presented the staff report. The applicant was proposing to construct a 32-
unit assisted living and memory care facility. The parking conformed to the

zoning requirements. The waiver requested additional density on the site of 11.2
units per acre which was in the range of density allowed by the Comprehensive
Plan. The landscaping proposed exceeded the City requirements and the tree
replacement complied with City Code requirements. Staff recommended
approval.
Mette asked why the property was not being rezoned. Klima replied the density
relationship between the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance was a
complicated equation. The current application requested a PUD waiver to allow
the density that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. This was the
mechanism and the process the City had utilized for medium and high density for
some time. Kirk added the prospective population was equivalent to the density
allowed in the zoning district , as this would be one resident per unit and would
never increase, so it fit into the current zoning district.
Mike Amundson, resident at 9565 Garrison Way, spoke in favor of the
development. He did not foresee traffic problems and found the development
attractive. He did have a concern as to where the building was located; he
proposed it be more centered in the property.
MOTION: Markos moved, seconded by Gooding to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 9-0.
Mette asked if the developer could address the location of the building onsite.
Larson replied the engineer was not in attendance but to his understanding the
grading of the site drove the building’s location.
Kirk stated this was the third proposal seen on this property and to his thinking
this seemed to be a good fit. Gooding noted there was a number of existing ash
trees that would stay that needed treatment, and he asked staff if this was a
requirement. Bourne replied this was a new requirement. For those trees to be
counted as having been saved they would have to be treated in the future. Taylor
asked if the mature trees at the rear would be kept as a buffer for the neighbors.
Larson replied the goal was to cut as few trees as possible.
Pieper echoed Kirk’s comments regarding the merits of this project. Klima added
to the south of the property there was an open space outlot maintained by an HOA
so there would not be backyards abutting this project to the south.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Markos to recommend approval of the
Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 2.85 acres; Planned Unit
Development Amendment with waivers on 2.85 acres; Site Plan Review on 2.85

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Ben Schneider, Planner I
DATE: May 9, 2022
SUBJECT: Variance Request #2022-01
APPLICANT/OWNER: Jake Barker
LOCATION: 6939 Barberry Lane
120 DAY REVIEW PERIOD: August 8, 2022
REQUEST:
• A variance to construct a detached garage with a 13-foot front yard setback. City Code
requires a 30-foot front yard setback in the proposed location of the detached garage.
BACKGROUND
The subject property, highlighted in the below aerial, is zoned R1-22 and is guided in the
Comprehensive Plan for low density residential. The northeast property line borders Duck Lake,
which means this lot is also in the Shoreland Overlay District. There is currently a single-family
home, initially constructed in 1959, and a detached garage that was added in 1977. As seen below,
the garage has access off Barberry Lane.
The subject property is a corner lot and thus is subject to 30-foot front yard setbacks from both the
Barberry Lane and Peterborg Road right of way lines. The existing detached garage, which is 13
feet from the south property line, is a legal nonconformity because the City Code at the time of
construction (1977) would have treated the south property line as a side lot line rather than a front
lot line.
Staff Report – Variance #2022-01
May 9, 2022
Page 2
The applicant is requesting a 17-foot variance to construct an additional detached garage on the
east side of the property. This proposed garage would have access off Peterborg Road and be the
same distance from the south property line (13 feet) as the existing detached garage. The City’s
shoreland ordinance requires a 100-foot setback from Duck Lake, so building an accessory garage
that meets this setback and the 30-foot front yard setback from south would likely not be feasible
without the requested variance.
Below is a sketch of the proposed structure. In addition to garage space, the property owner is
proposing to include a small home office with a bathroom. It should be noted that the variance
would still be needed to build the garage if the proposed 18x18 office was removed from the
project. The sketch is not to scale, but the applicant understands that this structure would have to
meet both the 13-foot front yard setback (if the variance is granted) and the 10-foot side yard
setback to the east. Meeting the side yard setback is included as a condition of approval in the
drafted final order. This project will also have to satisfy the shoreland requirement of not exceeding
30% impervious surface on the overall property.
VARIANCE REQUEST
To construct a detached garage with a 13-foot front yard setback. City Code requires a 30-foot
front yard setback in the proposed location of the detached garage.
EVALUATING VARIANCES AGAINST STATUTORY CRITERIA
Variances may be granted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the
ordinance and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Furthermore,
Staff Report – Variance #2022-01
May 9, 2022
Page 3
variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that 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 proposed to use the property in a
reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance; the plight of the landowner is due to
circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; and the variance, if granted,
will not alter the essential character of the locality.
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
The proposed request is not in conflict with the goals and intent of the land use identified in
the Comprehensive Plan. The variance aligns with the standards of the Low Density
Residential guiding. Granting the variance would not change the residential land use of the
property.
2. Harmony with the Purpose and Intent of the Ordinance
The applicant is proposing to keep the new garage out of the 100-foot setback from Duck Lake,
which aligns with the following objective from Section 11.01 of the City Code: “to safeguard
and enhance the appearance of the City, including natural amenities of hills, woods, lakes,
and ponds.” The proposed garage also would not further encroach on the south lot line setback
compared to the existing garage, which mitigates aesthetic concerns and is thus harmonious
with the intent of residential setback regulations.
3. Unique Circumstance
The combination of a 100-foot setback from the lake and a 30-foot setback from the south lot
line significantly limits the property owner’s ability to have an accessory structure on the east
side of the property. This is a unique circumstance not created by the property owner.
4. Alteration of the Essential Neighborhood Character
The setback of the proposed garage would be consistent with the setback of the current garage
and would not expand on the nonconformity. There are also several other detached garages in
the neighborhood. Overall, this variance would not alter the essential neighborhood character.
5. Reasonable Use of Property
The use of the property is not proposed to change as part of this application. Accessory garages
are a permitted use in residential districts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The granting of this variance is in harmony with intent and general purposes of the ordinance and
the nature of the variance requested is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff recommends approval of the following request:
1. Approve Variance Final Order #2022-01 subject to plans dated April 30, 2022, based on
the information outlined in the Planning Department Staff Report dated May 9, 2022.
The Commission may choose from one of the following actions:

EXHIBIT A – FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS VARIANCE #2022-01
FINDINGS
“Practical difficulties” is a legal standard set forth in law that cities must apply when considering
applications for variances. It is a three-factor test and applies to all requests for variances. To constitute
practical difficulties, all three factors of the test must be satisfied. The three practical difficulties include
reasonableness, uniqueness, and maintaining the essential character of the neighborhood. Additionally,
the variance must demonstrate harmony with other land use controls.
1. Reasonable use of the property - The first factor is the property owner proposes to use the property
in a reasonable manner but cannot do so under the rules of the ordinance. The use of the property
is not proposed to change as part of this application. The land use is a permitted and reasonable use.
The proposed use is consistent and in harmony with the Comprehensive Guide Plan and is a
reasonable use of the property.
2. Unique circumstances - The second factor is that the property owner’s situation is due to
circumstances unique to the property not caused by the property owner. The combination of a
100-foot setback from the lake and a 30-foot setback from the south line significantly limits the
property owner’s ability to have an accessory structure on the east side of the property. This is a
unique circumstance not created by the property owner.
3. Essential character of neighborhood - The third factor is that the variance, if granted, will not alter
the essential character of the locality. Under this factor, consider whether the resulting structure
will be out of scale, out of place, or otherwise inconsistent with the surrounding area. The setback
of the proposed garage would be consistent with the setback of the current garage and would not
expand on the nonconformity. There are also several other detached garages in the neighborhood.
Overall, this variance would not alter the essential neighborhood character.
The granting of the variance is in harmony with intent and general purposes of the ordinance and the
nature of the variance requested is consistent with the comprehensive guide plan.
CONDITIONS:
• Subject to the information provided in the Staff Report dated May 9, 2022, and plans dated
April 30, 2022.
• The accessory garage shall meet the 10-foot side yard setback
• Impervious surface on the property shall not exceed 30%

Attn: City of Eden Prairie Planning Commission
I am writing to request a variance to add a secondary detached garage to 6939
Barberry Lane that would require breaching the 30-foot setback of Peterborg Rd. We
are unable to meet the 30-foot setback of Peterborg Rd but do meet the 100' setback of
Duck Lake to add the building due to the limitations of being a corner lot.
The proposed secondary structure would have the same setback as the current garage
13’ from the south lot line; all other setbacks would be to current requirements.
Please see the attached proposal and drawings.
You will find my contact information above. Please feel free to contact me with follow -
up questions.
Best Regards,
Jacob Barker
