Approved at Planning Commission on July 10, 2024.


Patrick Sarver/Civil Site Group on behalf of DIFM2 Trust are requesting a 85.9-foot front yard setback variance at 6716 Arrowhead Pass, from Sec. 36-439 of the Edina City Code to allow for a 17.3-foot front yard setback from the 103.2-foot requirement for patio additions to an existing home.


Civil Site Group is requesting an amendment to an existing variance that was approved by the Planning Commission on Wednesday, August 25th, 2021. The approved request was for an 85.9-foot front yard setback variance from the required 103.2 foot front yard setback requirement for a new home at 6716 Arrowhead Pass.


The variance request amendment is to make impervious adjustments to the site: ie. Patios, Retaining walls and an expanded stormwater infiltration trench. The new property owner proposes to reconstruct and add minor patio expansions that conform with the City of Edina side yard setback requirements, comply with the City of Edina lot coverage requirements for impervious areas and to meet the City's stormwater rules with an expanded stormwater infiltration trench to capture a significant portion of the site's stormwater runoff.
