Council Members
Dear Michael;
Thomas Hedges I have had the opportunity to review with members of our staff the proposed
City Administrator building permit plans received by the City on April 1, 2010, which you submitted
for the above property. As it is currently designed, your proposed home addition
would constitute a second dwelling unit which is not allowed in the R-1
(Residential Single) Zoning District per the Eagan Zoning Ordinance.
Specifically, the ability for a user to fully segregate the new living space from the
Municipal Center existing living space, using the second stairway and separate access are what
3830 Pilot Knob Road create a second dwelling unit. A suggestion to consider is to relocate the
Eagan, MN 55122-1810 proposed staircase so that it is becomes integrated with both the existing garage
651.675.5000 phone and existing living space. In essence, you would be malting the second stairway
one that could be used by all of the habitants of the home, which could permit you
651.675.5012 fax to meet the needs you indicate you are anticipating, while still conforming to the
6511,454 .454.88535 535 TDD code standards for single family homes.
If you wish to proceed with the addition, please submit a revised set of plans
Maintenance Facility either eliminating the proposed stairway and separate access, or redesigning the
3501 Coachman Point stairway so that it is located within the existing home.
