6900 Dawson Lane, Rear Yard Setback Variance

The Edina Planning Commission approved a rear yard setback variance at 6900 Dawnson Lane Oct. 11, 2023.

This public hearing was continued from 9/27/23 to 10/11/23.

The applicants are applying for a 14.6-foot rear yard setback variance to tear down the current 2-car attached garage and build a 3-car attached garage. Per the applicants, the current 2-car garage is undersized and does not fit 2 cars. Applicants are also wanting to reduce the amount of cars parked on the street, hence, 3 car garage. They will be adding 2 electric car charging ports in the garage to create a more functional space for the future. The attached garage re-build is a more practical solution and is less imposing on neighboring properties given a detached garage may be much closer to a side and rear yard then the attached garage, even with the setback variance.
