Fisher and Francis Residence

This City of Minnetonka planning commission meeting presentation on March 26, 2026, focused on a conditional use permit request for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 15815 Minnetonka Boulevard. City staff recommended denial of the permit because the proposed ADU significantly exceeded city code limits on size and height relative to the principal dwelling. The proposed ADU would be 2,376 square feet, larger than the allowed 1,000 square feet or 35% of the main house's floor area, and taller than the principal structure. Staff noted the ADU ordinance aims to keep ADUs subordinate in appearance and function, which this proposal conflicted with. The city received limited public comments, mostly supportive, but staff recommended denial due to ordinance conflicts. No contract awards, budget allocations, or procurement actions were discussed in this meeting.
