Agenda Item: Willette Zoning Map Amendment – 20405 Holyoke Avenue
Action Deadline: April 26, 2016
INTRODUCTION
William and Janice Willette have submitted a zoning map amendment application to
rezone their property from RS-3, Single Family Residential District to RS-CBD, Single Family
Residential-Central Business District. The rezoning is proposed to allow the construction of
a new attached garage with a seven foot side yard setback as allowed in the RS-CBD
District. The property is also located in the Shoreland Overlay District of the tributary
stream to the north that runs through James Jensen Park.
Dakota County Assessor records show that the house was constructed in 1920 but it may
have been moved onto the property around 1960 according to the property owner.

PLANNING ANALYSIS
Rezoning. The applicants would like to construct a 732 square foot garage and breezeway
addition onto the south side of the house in place of the existing single stall detached
garage. The house is located on a 13,800 square foot metes and bounds described parcel
and is one of two large parcels on the block abutting Holyoke Avenue.
The Willette parcel and the other single family home properties in the downtown Lakeville
area have been zoned some category of single family residential since 1969. Until 1998,
there was no single family residential district specific to the downtown area. Following the
approval of the Comprehensive Plan in 1998, the properties to the south and east of the
Willette parcel were rezoned from R-3 to RS-CBD which allowed smaller lot sizes and
reduced setbacks for houses and detached accessory buildings. The zoning of the
properties to the west of the Willette parcel changed from R-2 to RS-3 which is the zoning
category consistent with the downtown single family residential areas since 1969. The
Willette parcel was included in the RS-3 District zoning of the properties to the west due to
the nearly one-third acre parcel size and due to the proximity of the abutting public park.
Due to the location of the house, the proposed two stall garage would not meet the
minimum 10 foot side yard setback requirement for the RS-3 District. The RS-CBD District
requires a seven foot side yard setback, which will accommodate the proposed garage
addition. The Shoreland Overlay District will remain in place as will the required maximum
25% impervious surface area requirement. The proposed impervious surface area, including
the existing house, garage addition and driveway will be 24.4%, which is calculated by the
following:
House (foundation area) – 840 sf
Addition (foundation area) – 732 sf
Driveway – 1,710 sf
Total = 3,282 sf / 13,800 (lot area) = 23.7% Impervious Surface Area
Zoning Lot and Setback Requirements.

Garage Addition. The two stall garage will total 660 square feet. The combined area of
the garage and breezeway addition will be 732 square feet. A total accessory building area
of 840 square feet is allowed in the RS-CBD District. The garage and breezeway will be
sided with cement board siding and painted with colors to match the house. The roof was
recently replaced. The roof for the garage and breezeway addition will match the existing
roof style and color. The garage and breezeway addition will meet all setback
requirements in the RS-CBD District.
Minimum Garage Size and Width. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum garage
width of 22 feet and 480 square feet in area. The proposed 22 x 30 foot garage addition
will meet the minimum dimension requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Willette Zoning Map amendment
application subject to the following stipulations:
1. A building permit is required prior to commencing construction of the garage
addition.
2. The building exterior of the garage addition shall match the existing house and roof
and shall be compatible with other single family homes in the area.
3. The garage addition shall meet the setback requirements of the RS-CBD District.
