CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REQUEST: SAV #75-02, BY LOREN SMERUD: Vacate 46th venue N.E. between 3rd Street and University Avenue N.E., to allow the construc- ^ tion of a 24 ft. x 24 ft. addition at 4603 3rd Street N.E. Mr. & Mrs. Loren Smerud of 4603 3rd Street N.E. and Mr. Robert Archer, 4595 3rd �1.,_ Street N.E. were present: � _� Mr. 6oardman said the administration had no objection to this vacation request, but an easement would have to be retained for the storm sewer in the South�Hatf of 0 Planninq Commission Meetinq - May 21,.1975 Page 2 �� the street being vacated, and for the 12 foot easement in the alley would have to be extended across the vacated street, because of the power lines in this easement. Mr. Harris asked the purpose of this vacation? Mr. Smerud said it would enable him to construct an addition to his home without ask.ing for a variance, and as they were maintaining this property already, they would prefer to own it. Mr. Boardman said the proposed addition would be 8 feet from the present property line, and Mr. Smerud was told to either ask for a variance or request a vacation of the street, and Mr. Smerud chose to ask for the vacation. � . Mr. Langenfeld said the adjacent property owners to this street had been main- taining it for the past 8 years. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Archer, the other adjacent property owner, how he felt abaut the vacation of this street? Mr. Archer said he was in agreement to having it vacated, and he had been maintaining the pro,::�rty also. . Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Smerud what he was going to do with the existing garage? Mr. Smerud said he was going to tear it down. MOTION by Drigans,,secnnded by Meissner, that the Planning Coimuission recommend to Council approval of vacation request, SAV 4�75-02, by Loren Smerud, to vacate 46th Avenue N.E. between 3rd Street and University Avenue N.E., to a11ow the construction of a 24' x 24' addition to 4603 3rd Street N.E. with the following stipulations:' � 1. Retain the storm sewer easement over the Northerly 20 feet of the South Half of 46th Avenue being vacated. 2. Retain a 12 foot utility easement in the extension of the alley between Block 9 and 16, Plymouth.Addition. 3. The existing garage be town down when the addition with the tuck under _garage is completed. Mr. Smerud asked what probiems he would have if this garage wasn't torn down at that time. Mr. Boardman said he would have to apply for a Special Use Permit for a second accessory building. Mr. Smerud said he didn't know about the restric- tions on a second accessory building, so he would probably tear down the existing garage. Mr. Meissner said this would not be such a rigid stipulation, that the very day the addition was completed, the garage had to come down, but`he would have to comply within a reasonable time. Mr. Smerud said he Would like to use the present garage for storage while the second garage was being built. Mr. Meissner said that if he decided at a later date, to use this garage for storage, and not tear it down, he would then have to apply for the Special Use Permit. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 2. CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REQUEST: SAV #75-03, MACHINING INC.: Vacate the � alley in Block 5, Spring Brook Park Addit�on, that lies between Ashton Avenue and the railroad tracks, to allow for an addition that will join two existing buildings, at 14Q Liberty Street N.E. . Mr. Frank Schaul, co-owner of Machining, Inc., was present. �^ � > Planning Commission Meeting May 21, 1975 � Page 3 Mr. Boardman said that Machining, Inc. have a building on both the North and South,side of a 12 foot alley. They want to construct an addition that would join these two buildings into one cosaidxthere wererpower�laneshin�thhsyalley,eandst- ing that this alley be vacated. He what they want to do was to encroa1hClarkhhadtreceivedSamletterdf romallorthern1States easement. Mr. Boardman said Darre Power Company, which he presented to the Planning Commission. MOTION by Meissner, seconded by Drigans, that the Planning Commionianvoicelvote, the letter from Northern States Power Company dated May 14, 1975. Up all voting aye, Chairman Harris read the letter as follows: "I seeeived the City of -Fridley's notice�of the preliminary hearing on th� requrin �BrookhParkgAddition1�0 Liberty Street N.E., to vacate the alley in Block 5, Sp g that lies between Ashton Avenue and the railroad tracks, to allow an addition that will join,two existing buildings. Northern Se��anent easementnforathe retentiannof to this vacation, provided we are granted a p our facilities or are reimbursed for rerouting them. Thank you for your con�ider- ation in this matter, John L. Ranck, Municipal Services Representative, North Division." Mr. Boardman said that one of the stipulations of the Plats & Subdivisions- Streets & Utilities Subcommittee was that in order for this building to be constructed, they would have to have written permission from the utiTity companies who are presenily using this easement for their facilities. He said that the utility com- panies would be placing stipulations on the height of the building, and how far the roof bf the building would have to be from the'power lines, etc. Mr. Harris asked what these power lines served? Mr. Schaul said they went across the railroad tracks to John Hayes p►"flPartyand he6hadbgivensthemtpermissionato said the power lines had just gone �n iast ye , put the poles in. Mr. Meissner asked Mr. Schaul if he had talked to Northern States Power Company about the allowed height of the building, etc. Mr. Schaul said his partner had been talking to them. • Mr. Boardman said that if the utility easement was retained in this alley, and the petitioner gets written agreement from the utilit�oblemawith granting�thessement - an the encroachment, then the City couldn t see any p vacation request. The City has no objection to the encroachment on the vacated alley. Mr. Harris asked about Mr. Nayes having access through this property. He said there was an unsigned agreement in the agenda, which state�d that there was verbal agreement, but that Mr. Hayes would not sign it, on access through this property to the erossing at the railroad tracks. Mr. Boardman said that at present, John Nayes has access from his property to both Longfellow and Liberty Street, on Machining, Inc. property, and with the proposed addition, he will only have access to Liberty Street. The original unsigned agreement only gave him �ccess to Liberty Street. Mr. Meissner asked if John Longfellov�? Mr. Schaul said he � had any trouble with Mr. Nayes. Hayes knew that his access wauld be cut aff to didn't think he knew this ye.t�, but they had never Mr. Schaul said that about three years ago, he did seek legal advice, and that this advice was that he could shut the access off to .John Hayes anytime, which he said he had no intention of doing. His only concern was that as Mr. Hayes had been _ _ ,,�,,,,, . . Planninq Commission Meeting - May 21, 1975 Page 4 i using this access for a number.of years, he�might claim the property as his, and Machining, Inc. didn't want to give up any of their property, as they need every i�^ square foot that they have. � � Mr. Meissner said this easement for Mr. Hayes didn't enter into the vacation � request of the alley, but it was something that would have to be considered. Mr. Harris said he thought this was something that would have to be resolved, because it was something that was sort of swept under the rug by the City for many years. Ne thought Machining, Inc. should have some type of written agreement on the access to Liberty Street. Mr. Schaul said he was not under obligation to provide this access. Mr. Meissner said he may have a problem with adverse possession, if some sort of agreement wasn't wo rked ou t. Mr. Schaul said this what they worried about. Mr. Harris said �ie Mr. Schaul�"aid that Machining, Inc. got along fine with Mr. Hayes, but the next owner might wonder what Mr. Hayes was doing driving onJ ihis property. Mr. Boardman said that although this vacation request has nothing to do with � �he easement far Mr. Hayes, indirectly it does, because in granting this vacation to allow the construction of the addition, it will block Mr. Hayes.access to Longfellow, He said the verbal agreement never covered.an access to Longfellaw, only to Liberty, but Mr. Hayes has been using both accesses. � Mr. Harris said an agreement should be drawn up, and if Mr. Hayes won't sign it, as he refused to sign the first agreement, there wasn't anything th.at coul�`change that, but he thought the effort should be made. Mr. Schaul said he thought Mr. Hayes would be fighting for another access, because he had seen him sitting at the �� tracks for an hour waiting for the train to move. Mr. Harris said that Mr. Hayes has his junk yard spread all over, and a lot of it was on other people's property and in the street right of way. Mr. Boardman said that Steve Olson, the Envlronmental Officer for the City, had been working with Mr. Hayes, and he has been pulling a lot of the junk back onto his own property. � Mr. Meissner said that Machining, Inc. could give Mr. Hayes permission to use • this access unilaterally, but retain a11 rights for themselves, in an agreement. ;.Mr, Meissner said that another question he.had on this vacation involved a lot , of peo�)e in this block, and without their written consent, he wouldn't be in - �.��f���� af�:vacating any more than just the alley that was owned by the petttioner. Mr;"�Schaul said that was all he had requested. Mr. Meissner said he knew it was the practice of the City to vacate the entire alley, but he would still'want written _ consent from the rest of the block, even though they had been notified of this request. Mr. Schaul said they only needed to vacate the alley between Lots 10-17, and Lots 32-37, for the construciion of their addition. Mr. Harris said that before he could go along with vacating the entire alley, he would like to see some signatures of the affected property owners, that they were in agreement to the vacation. . Mr. Boardman asked what the Planning Commission would do if all the signatures � of the other property owners weren't obtained: Mr. Harris said then we would just vacate that portion of the alley that the �petitioner requested. Mr. Boardman said that the administration felt it would be better to vacate the entire alley from Ashton Avenue to the railroad tracks, and that al] thase property owners�had been � notified of this request and had been asked to attend this meeting. _ . ,_.,,� - ; i ;.../''`� � � Planning Commission Meetin - May 21, 1975 . Pa e 5 Mr. Harris said he agreed that the entire alley should be vacated, but he still wouldn't vote to vacate the alley without signatur.es of property owners in this block. Mr. Boardman said that Tri-Co Builders had called the office and said they_ had no objection to this vacation. They own some property on this block. Mr. Meissner said that as a member of the Plats & Subs. Subcommittee, it had always been their policy to vacate as many stub streets and undeveloped alleys as they could to get this property back on the tax rolls, not that these vacations added that much to the tax rolls, but there was really no reason for the City to keep this property either. He said that when something was vacated, he still liked to have the property owners present to say that they will accept the property. He continued that 99 times out of 100, no one did object, but he would still like to know that the property �owners agreed to the vacation. MOTION by Meissner, seconded by Drigans, that the Planning Commission recommend to Council approvaZ of the request for a vacation, 5AV #75-03, by Machininq, Inc., to vacate the a11ey in B1ock 5, Spring Brook Park Addition, that lies between Ashton Avenue and the railroad tracks, to a1Zow the c^;�struction of an addition that wil.� join two existing buiZdings at 140 Liberty Street N.E., with the foZlowinq stipu- Zations: � 1. Retain the 12 foot utility easement in the vacated ��i��y.:. 2. City aZ1ow the encroachment of the building into the easement. 3. Petitioner get written permission from the utility companies, and follow their stipulations for this encroachment. 4. That consent be obtained in some forirr, from aI1 the other affected property owners along this a11ey, or failing that, that the aZ1ey just be vacated • between Lots 10-17 and 32-38, B1ock 5, Spring Brook Park Addition, which are owned by the petitioner. Mr. Harris asked if the agreement that Mr. Schaul should work out . with Mr. Hayes on an access should be a stipulation? Mr. Meissner said he didn`t want to tie.:this in with the vacation request. Ne said that Mr. Schaul did noi antend to shut Mr. Hayes off from an access, but he didn't want to give any of his ;:,property away either. Mr. Harris said that even if this was not going to be a stipulation of the vacation, he thought this .agreement was something Mr. Schaul should pursue. UPON A VOICE VOTE, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Harris said he thought that it should be brought to the Council's attention that there were platted streets and alleys across the railroad tracks. This was an old plat, and none of the streets and alleys were in. He said this was a problem area in Fridley, and a solution of some type should be sought. 3. DISCUSSION ON BIKEWAY PROPOSAL Mr. Boardman said he would give the Planning Commission a little history on the � bikeway proposal. He said that when we were working on the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Pian, we had suggested that a bikeway system be developed.for the City of Fridley. In late August, the Gity Council wanted to look at.that a little further, so they set up.a Citizen Bikeway Committee to make a study and prepare a report. He said he had been meeting with this Corrunittee ever since September, sometimes four Planning Commission Meeting - May 21, 1975 � Page 6 times a month. They did prepare this report which calls for 32 miles of trails �! to be put in a five stage program. When the Bike Committee completed this report ��� they held Public Hearings. After these Public Hearings, they did make some modifi- cations to the plan. We have mailed out this report to 44 service organizations and ; asked to have their written recommendations on this plan.. The letters we.have . � received so far are in your agenda. Mr. Boardman said the City Council would be ! holding a Public Hearing on this proposal on June 9, 1975. Before this Public ' Hearing we did want to get the recommendations of the Planning Commission on this report. He said this report would come under the Transportation Plan as well as the Parks & Recreation Plan. • Mr. Drigans asked what was the intent of the Bikeway Committee. Would they cease to exist now that this report has been completed. Mr. Boardman said their -recommendation to the City Council, was that if ihis proposal was accepted, that this would be a continuing committee that would meet about 3 times a year to help implement the program. Mr. Boardman said this was a 9 member committee, who repre- sent the nine different areas of Fridley. If there were any changes necessary in any area, people could contact their representative, and that representative would notify the City Council. �� Mr. Langenfeld said that he thought this was a very good report. He asked how this was going to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Mr. Boardman.said they could review it page by page, or if they thought that in reading it, they just wanted � to approve the concept, they could do that, if they were ready to make a recommenda- �tion, or they could pass it on to Council without a recommendation. � Mr. Boardman said the most important thing to•consider in this report was ', �1 Stage l. This was the pilot stage. Stage 1 and 2 are mostly access stages. Stages 3, 4 and 5 were mostly recreational stages. The reason we felt that the access stages were the most important was because we have a bad access problem far both pedestrians and bikes at the present time. Mr. Boardman said that we felt that the most important state of this proposal was the first stage. It will provide us with the amount of access we need to all parts of the City of Fridley. It will give us a good indication of the use of the system, and see how it will work. It will also allow us time to change some of the routes, if the system was not working. Mr. Harris said he noticed that Burlington Northern was quite adamant on allow- ing any easements on their property. Mr. Boardman said they are recommending no easements on Burlington Northern property. The only crossings we'have are on the major raads that cross �he railroad tracks. Mr. Langenfeld said he would like the sidewalk assessment policy explained. . Mr. Boardman said the way the assessment procedure works, at';the present time, was that all sidewalks on City streets are not assessed to the property owner, they are assessed to the general fund. Al1 sidewalks on �tate Aid Roads are not assessed to the property owner, they are assessed to State Aid Funds. The sidewalks along County roads, are all assessed to the prop�rty owners. The recommendation of the Bikeway Committee was that this be changed so these sidewalks were not assessed to � the property owner, but picked up by the general.fund also. �The rea5on being that these sidewalks would benefit more people that just the property owner who has the . sidewalk on their propertyr Mr. Langenfeld said that on page 24 it mentions restricted parking. . .�"', __ Planning Commission Meetin - May 21, 1975 Paqe 7 " Mr. Boardman said what they were talking about in this section was that in �� some areas, there will have to be astri_pe lane on City streets. On some streets we don't have enough room to provide two traffic lanes, two bike lanes, plus two . parking lanes. By restricted parking we mean elim.i.nating parking on one side of the street, or eiiminating all parking on some streets, to allow two traffic lanes and two bike lanes. Some of the streets where the Bikeway Committee recor�nended no parking on the street were Mississippi, Osborne Road and Old Central, and on Rice Creek Road from Old Central up past the Lutheran Church. When we get into residential areas in providi'ng bike routes, then we don't have the problem of park= ing because there are no striped lanes. Mr. Boardman said that wherever there was a high turnover in parking this made it more dangerous for the bicyclist. Mr. Boardman said the Bikeway Committee was very cautious on what streets they recommended for no parking. . ,, . � ! ; Mr. Drigans said the Bikeway System Plan was an extensive document and he felt that it required a detailed consideration by the Planning Commission. He said they would have quite an effect on the community if it was adopted by the City Coun- cil. He felt tha� due to.the reorganization of the Planning Commission, and as we do not know what the make-up of the Commission will be a month from now, he thought it was better not to start ihis review until the membership was up to � full strength, or else they would have to s.tart the review over again with the new members. He said he thought this wouldn't affect the Public Hearing of the City Council. Mr. Boardman said as the Public Hearing by the City Council would probably be a series of continued hearings, it would be acceptable for the Planning Commission ta make their recommendations later. Mr. Drigans said that to give this plan just a superficial blessing was not the function of the Planning Commission. Mr. Langenfeld said he agreed with Mr. Drigans and thought the Planning Commis- sion should indicate to the Council that we have given this proposal a thorough review before we made our recommendation. - Mr. Boardman said he had felt that the Bikeway Committee could be a project committee of the Transportation Committee or the Community Development Commission, if we had been working under the reorganized Planning Commission. ThE�n this would have come to the Planning Commission and they would have to determine if this met. the goals and objectives of the Transportation plan. He said that as this reorgan- iZation was just going into effect, we don't have any goals and objectives on transportation. It was possible to hold this u.p until we get those goals and objectives established, or else pass on this and make changes and recommendations at a later date, to meet these goals and objectives. � Mr. Boardman said he agreed that it was the responsibity of the Planning Cor�nission to have input on this proposal, and they could be doing this at the same time that the City Council was holding Public Hearings. Mr, Harris said he would like Mr. Boardman to get input from the surrounding communities, that have already started to implement a bikeway plan. He said he - knew a lot of them were in the first stages, and maybe fram this input, we could avoid some of the pitfalls they experienced. Mr. Boardman said that � but he would gather as much ' posing a much more extensive most of these systems were recreational� systems only, information as was avai�able, but that Fridley was-pro- system, because of our problems of access in the City. Mr. Baardman said that if we got a good response from our pilot st�ge, we can go an with th� plan as it was laid out. If we have a bad response, then changes will � � ; tr..r'1 � Pianning Commission Meeting - May 21, 1975 - Page 8 __ have to be made. This was a very flexible plan. Mr. Meissner said we are talking about a program that was going to take years before it was completely implemented. He said that it was mentioned in the report that one of the problems we were having was the enforcement of bicycle laws. He said we do not have to wait for this bikeway program to start enforcing the laws. Mr. Boardman said that part of the plan was already in action. The police are conducting bicycle safety and regulation classes at the schools at the present time. They have two policemen working 8 hours a day on an education program that was being presented to the schools. They sponsor bicycle rodeos also. � . Mr. Harris said that half of law enforcement was education. You can't expect �the rules and regulations to be followed if the participants don't know them. Mr. Boardman said they have also set up a new system for tagging juvenile bicyclists, which was just going into opertation. Mr. Boardman said it was brought out in the goals and objectives of the Bikeway Committee that bicycle education was a must. He said he thought their goals and objectives were very well written, and were very flexible. MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Meissner, that the Planning Commission start review2ng the bikeway proposal when the structure of the Planning Commission was solidified. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 4. DISCUSSION Mr. Boardman explained the background on ihe freeway noise abatement system which had been a stipulation of the Darrel Farr Development of Phase IV and V, This was discussed at length by the Planning Commission, who subsequently felt they didn't want to make any recommendation either way on this stipulation. ADJOURNMENT: • MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Meissner, that the meeting be adjourned. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the Planning Cammission meet- ing of May 21, 1975 adjourned at 10:58 P.M.

A REOUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205.053, 4, B4, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE SIDE YARD ADJOINING AN ATTACHED GARAGE FROM THE REQUIRED S FEET TO 3 FEET, TO ALLOW TFiE CONSTRUCTION OF APd ATTACHED GARAGE TO BE LOCATED ON ' LOT 7, BLOCK 8, DONNAY'S LAKEVIEW MANOR ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 621-58TH AVENUE N.�., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55432. (REQUEST BY MR. THOMAS CORBETT, 621 - 58TH AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.) MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Plemel, to open the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Tom Corbett was present to present his request. A survey of the lot, showing the proposed construction, was shown to the Board. f1 Mr. Corbett said he would like to attach the garage to the east side of his � home. Mr. Crowder asked if the neighbor to the east �as a garage. Mr. Corbett said he does not, but his neighbor's house is located on the property the same � as his�, so if he was to build a garage, it would also be placed to the east of the dwelling. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if Mr. Corbett had considered putting the garage behind the dwelling. Mr. Corbett said he had considered it, but he also plans to add a 16 foot by 22 foot addition onto the back of his house, to be used as a family room, so he would like the garage located as proposed. Mr. Crowder asked if there is a slab there now and Mr. Corbett said there is nothing there now. Mr. Corbett added he had talked to the neighbor to the east, and he had no objections as long as the garage wasn't going to the lot line. Mr. Crowder asked how the slope of the xoof on the garage will be and Mr. Corbett said the hipp roof will be extended. Mrs. Wahlberg asked how the fire trucks would get to a fire if it was on the back of the house. Mr. Crowder asked what is on the lot to the west. Mr. Corbett said there is a house and garage that is about 5 feet from the common lot line. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if there is an alley behind the properties. Mr. Corbett said there is a 30 foot street easemento Mrs. Gabel asked if a fire truck could get to the house on this easement and Mr. Corbett said it could. . Mr. Crowder asked if they are a 1 or 2 car family. Mr. Corbett said they . have only 1 car now but his son w'ill probably be�getting a license soon and ^ then they will have 2 or more cars. .� � '\ . . e Page 2 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 Mr. Crowder asked if the construction had been discussed with the neighbor. � 0 , Mr. Mattson.said he had received a call from the neighbor and there was no - objections as long as the garage was not going to go to the lot line. Mr. �^ Corbett added that the neighbor had also mentioned not disturbing the fence � between the two properties. � Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Mattson if the City staff had any comments on this. Mr. Mattson said a firewall had been discussed for the east end of the garage since it will be so close to the lot line. Mr. Corbett said he knew he had to install a firewall between the living area and the garage but did not understand why he needed one on the east end of the garage. Mr. Crowder said that with the overhang on the garage and on the adjoining house, the structures would be getting pretty close together. Mr. Corbett said he had no objection to installing.the firewall. Chairman Drigans said this can be worked out with - the administration when the building permit is applied for. MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Crowder, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. � Chairman Drigans said it seems to him that the hardship is the size of the garage and the proximity to the property line. He said the garage width, 21.6 feet, is about the minimum for a double garage.

(REQUEST BY MERIDIAN CORPORATION, 15 SOUTH 9TH STREET, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.) MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel, to open the publie hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. David E. Nordale and Mr. Da.vid M. Noyes, of the Meridian Corporation, were present to present the request. . �� � Page 3 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals 5ubcommitte� Meeting of May 13, 1975 The proposed plot plan was shown to the Board for their review. �� Chairman Drigans said he had received a letter from Mr. Fudali, who is the attorney for, general partner of, and developer of the Meadow Run Apartments, �� the adjoining property, objecting to the.variances. Chairman Drigans read the letter to the Board. He also qave a copy of the letter to Mr. Noyes. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to receive the letter from Mr. Fudali objecting to the variances. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Chairman Drigans read to the Board, the stated hardships for the variances from the application. The application stated, "Due to street setback requirements on three sides, the buildable area is only about 4� (1825 square feet) of the �otal site area of about 42,226 square feet. This is an extremely low coverage figure. In addition the angled geometry of the property makes for an unusual configuration if the site is to be utilized properly or to its even small ' buildable maximum." . Mr. Ma.ttson showed the Board a plot plan that had been drawn up conforming to the setbacks. Mr. Richard Fudali, and Mr. Larry Miller of 7889 Firwood Way, came forward to see the plans. Mr.. Nordale explained that if you use the zoning setback requirements, that are in existance, from the street, because of the geometry of the shape of the lot, that means by the time you set back all of these distances you would end � up with only a 800 square foot parcel and a 900 square foot parcel that would r be buildable. He said that is a very low buildable area for a lot that is zoned commercial. He said it seems this would impose a hardship on anyone that ,would try to se�l or develop this property. � Mr. Noyes said that originally the owners proposed to build a gas station at this location and they took this proposal as a secand choice. He said their proposal is for a 7-11.food store and possibly a coin operated laundry and a Payless shoe store. He said the purpose for the buying of this property was for putting in a gas station and this is their second choice. Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Mattson if he could give the history of the property as far as zoning. Mr. Mattson explained that before July of 1969 the property in question was part of a commereially zoned strip running from 77th Way to 79th Way along East River Road. Then in July of 1969 a portion of that strip was rezoned R-3A alonq with some M-1 property east of the commercial strip and next to the tracks. This was done to enlarge an existing R-3 area in betwe.en the commercial strip on East River Road and the M-1 strip along the tracks, for the purpose of accommodating a large apartment complex. This action left 2 pieces of C-2S property; one just north of 77th Way along East River Road,and the subject property just south of 79th Way along East River Road. This same subject property was left bounded on two sides by right of ways and partially on a third side by another right of way. The resultant setback requirements have given rise to the gresent hardships in building on the subject property within Code. .� . Page 4 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 � Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Mattson to point out each variance on the plot plan. Mr. Mattson said the variances as listed in the public hearing are marked �,� as A through G consecutively on the plot plan. Mr. Mattson added that #C � should be changed in the public hearing notice to read Lincoln Street instead of East River Road. Mr. Plemel asked if access for this property would be off from 79th Way, East River Road, or Lincoln Street. Mr. Mattson said the property would use all three roads. Chairman Drigans asked what the object of Lincoln Street is and Mr. Crowder asked who maintains it. Mr. Fudali said the street is used as an access to the apartments and his plows usually maintain it. Mr. Plemel asked if there would be left turns made onto East River Road from this property. Mr. Fudali stated that he didn't think left turns would be permitted, as on his building permit, it was stipulated that a sign be installed that no left turns be permitted onto East River Road from the apartment roadp so somebody . going south would have to come out on 79th to be legal. Mr. Nordale sai�i he would like to make a general coimnent about the variances and that was tY�at if you took the same basic mass and juggled it, unless you went to an unusual shape you would always be affected by variances. He said the reason they pushed the building back, toward the east, was £or parking and setting back as far as possible from East River Road. Chairman Drigans said he was concerned that.the request said for a speculative building and he wondered what type of study was done to determine that a dairy store and laundromat were needed. Mr...Noyes said that they were approached by the owners of the property, as Meridian Corporation are developers and in this type of business, and the owners said that they had talked with the City staff who informed them there should be no problems with this type of business. He said they have a working relationship with the 7-11 5tores who they feel are an excellent small food operation and they ran lots of studies on this particular site, as traffic counts, etc., and they felt there was a definite need in this area for a store. Mr. Noyes said the owner f elt because of the gas situation, that this proposal was an alternative. He added that 7-11 is interested in a long term lease and the other portion of the building has no definite tenants yet. He said it could be broken up and used for doctor offices as long as the business was allowed by the Code. Chairman Drigans said they then would not be asking for a special use or a rezoning after the building is up, in order to rent it. Mr. Noyes said they would not. Mr. Crowder asked if 7-11 stores have a basic square footage that they go with normally. Mr. Noyes said that 7-11 likes the 2400 square feet. Mr. Crowder said if the building was to be built for just the 7-11 store, would it be just half the proposed building.. Mr. Noyes said because of the cost of land, they couldn't afford to build a 2400 square foot building for just 7-11. Mr. Noyes said he was not aware that there was any opposition to this type of business, in fact, they thought because of the residential neighborhood and apartments, that this business would be an asset to the neighborhood. Mrs. Wahlberg asked what the size of the other half of the building is. Mr. Noyes said the 7-11 store would have 2400 square feet and there would be 2800 A square feet in the �est of the building. Mr. Crowder asked if the 41 parking ��` stalls was arrived at by the total of these two figures or 5200 square feet. Mr. Mattson said it was determined for the 7-11 store and the rest of the building being offic� space. �� l� r \ m�o twi ni�tes Of the Board of A . � Page 5 s Subcommittee Meetin of May 13, 1975 � 1� Mr. Fudali said he would like to comment on the hardships stated. He said the situation here is one where the price of the land is so high that they have to add square footage onto the building for some commercial.purpose for which they are not certain as yet. He said laundry facilities were mentioned for example, and he added that the apartments have 15 laundry rooms so they have plenty of laundry facilities. Mr. Nayes said to just eliminate the laundry facilities then as he was not sure of what would be going into the building. Mr. Fudali continued that here is a situation where East River Road is practically famous on a state level for the number of accidents because of the number of vehicles and speed of the vehicles that travel this road. He said there are approximately 450 automobiles that hawe only two ways to get in and out of the Meadow Run Apartments; one is Lincoln Street and the other is East River Road. He said that if they are going to go south, which most of them do as they work toward downtown, they are supposed to go out Lincoln Street rather then East River Road so you have during the working hours, 300 to 450 cars between the hours of 7-9 ingressing and egressing onto East River Road. He said when they went through obtaining the apartment building permits, one of the things the Cour.^il specifically required was that there be no curb cuts what so ever along E,ast River Road and that Lincoln Street be the only source of ingress and egress. iie said when the people bought this subject property it was platted like this and the ordinances were in existance, and anybody could have determined what could be built on this property or what could not be built on this property. He said they wanted to build a filling station and that went into court, and is now a dead issue., Mr. Fudali said for them to now realize what they want as far as dollars for the property, this iarge building, or larger than reguired building, has to be built on the property and so they come now with all these variances. Mr. Fudali said he had no objection ta any variance under any circumstance which first is a result of a true legitimate hardship, and this is no legitimate harship as far as the zoning is concerned because this was platted when the owners bought it. He added he also had no objections to variances if they did not af£ect the surrounding property in any way, then even if there is no hardship, and granting the varianees will facilitate an improvement which is going to bring tax base and a use for the community, then it should procede. He said not withstanding the fact that he felt there is no hardship here, other than the fact that they want to yield a certain number of dollars from their property, he would have no objection to the "D" and "G" variances because they in no way trouble the ather properties as far as the safety point of view. He said as far as "C" and "F" are concerned, they are completely blocking the East River Road visual situation. He said if he would have asked for and xeceived variances for setbacks on the Meadow Run Apartments, he could have saved well over $100,000 because of the construction problems they encountered in holding the building tight to the creek, and this was a hardship as far as dollars was concerned, but the situation of safety was more paramount and no variances were asked for. He said the setbacks are set up by the City to create good visual lines of sight so that people can see other p�ople moving back and forth in automobiles and he felt that each one of these variances asked for, except "D" and °G", will impair the vision. He said from an aesthetic point of view, the back of this building will be an eyesore to his tenants because of the trash containers and storage. Mr. Fudali continued that for 300 families there are only two roads, and leaving the complex means ihey have to use East River Road and for him, as the owner of the apartments, he has to be concerned with the development of this lot. He said in this instance, there is a building that is less than half leased out and all we know about the other part is that it will meet the Code, so we don't know how it will benefit the community and yet this Board is asked to make determinations and grant variances which are going to impair the The Minutes of the Board of A Subcommittee of May 13, 1975 Page 6 apartment complex. He said that if the gentlemen from Meridian Corporation would like to sit down with him and try to figure out the best location of �—� the building to the satisfaction of both parties, he would be willing to do so. ^ � � Chairman Drigans said he couZd not understand what the visual problem is as far as East River Road. Mr. Fudali said that the parking in front of this building, if you were coming down 79th Way, would block seeing the cars on East River �oad. Chairman Drigans asked if there was a stop sign on 79th Way. Mr. Miller said there was one there. Chairman Drigans said he failed to see where there was a visual problem here then, when the cars have to stop before getting onto East River Road. N,r. Nordale said this was discussed with the City staff and that was one of the reasons for placing the building back instead of more toward East River Road. Chairman Drigans asked if it was a necessity to have an exit on East River Road. Mr. Nordale said it was considered more of an entrance for the people coming home along East River Road. Mrs. Wahlberg asked how the people would be controlled from exiting onto East River Road. Mr. Noyes said a sign could be put up but this would be no guarantee that t.hey would not exit there. Mr. Plemel asked if there was a right turn lane for 79th Way. Mr. Fudali said there was 'not. . Mr. Miller said he was the only one present who lived in the area, and he wondered why this has an isolated zoning when all around this property is residential zoning. Chairman Drigans explained that the property that the apartments are on was rezoned to apartment zoning and this piece of property was under separate ownership so was not included in the rezoning.Mr. Miller asked if this piece of property could be rezoned to residential. Chairman Drigans said the property owner would have to request a rezoning. Mro Miller said he couldn't see why a commercial building should be built in the middle of residential property. He said this store will have liqhting on until 11:00 P.M. He said its too bad that someone can't develop this residential. Chairman Drigans said that because of the odd shape of the property, anything being built would have stringent restrictions. Mr. Nordale added that it would be almost impossible to build anything on this lot without variances. Mr. Crowder said the one prablem with the apartments is that the people are all leaving within a certain time period and_then there is no traffic for two or three hours. He said that was one of the reasons for no exiting on East River Road. Ae said with this type of business, the traffic pattern shouldn't be grouped in such a small ti.me period. Mr. Plemel asked if there was a possibility of a traffic signal going in at 79th Way. Mr. Mattson said he was not sure. Mrs. Wahlberg asked Mr. Fudali what his objections to the filling station were. Mr. Fudali said at the time the station was proposed, there were two stations just down the road that were both abandoned and an abandoned filling station deteriorates very quickly. He said if you look at the locations of the other stations in Fridley, they are all within large commercials areas. He said when you looked at the other stations and then looked at this isolated site•, the City plus everyone else felt this site would not be appropriate for a service station because of the lighting,�storage, cars,�tow trucks, hours, etc. Mr. Fudali said this is a nice piece of ground and a food store has some merit here but in looking at the shopping center, they have tenants going in and out all the time and this might happen here. � �� ^ 0 � .�`_ ..: �.,,-o� �f the Board of A gage. 7 . � subcamr�ittee Meetin of May 13, 1975 �,5 : �.,� --- -- Mrs. Gabel asked it this property was being bought contingent upon the variances being approved. Mr. Noyes said the owners of this property are just desirous of developing their property as best as they car�. He said Meridian Corporation is just the developer and contractor. He said he felt that 7-11 would be an asset in the residential neighborhood. He 5aid the Chamber of Commerce has a number of people who would want to go into this type of facility and they will be quite restrictive in selecting tenants. . Chairman Drigans asked i� this proposal had been before Building 5tandards. Mr. Nordale said he thought they would be going to that Board at their next meeting. There was a discus�sion on moving the.building toward East River Road. Mr. Fudali said he would like to see a larger green area and have it stay as far away from 79th Way and Lincoln as possible. Mrs. Wahlberg said the building is proposed 54 feet from 79th Way and from a visual safety standpoint that should be ample. Mr. Fudali said the Code says it should be 80 feet and this must have been rtudied.before it was made a requirement. He said there are lots of reasons for the setbacks, one of them being visual, and another is to avoid condemnations when roads are widened, and another is to have larger green areas. � . Mrs. Wahlberg asked if there is any boulevard on 79th Way or if the property starts at the curb. Mr. Fudali said he didn't know but he added that 79th is a state aid street and once that road continues over the tracks it will be an awfully popular road like Osborne or Mississippi, and he said he could imagine 79th Way being widened. Nir. Fudali said they have land along 79th Way but all they have along that area is berming. He said the building are way off from 79th. Mr. Mattson said he did not.know how big the boulevard is along 79th Way. Chairman Drigans said it looks like there is a 20 foot boulevard along East River Road. Mr. Nordale said he thought it was about 20 feet. Chairman Drigans said it also looked like there was an easement along the property. There was a discussion on both of these as far as the relationship to the property line and as far as widening East River Road, No definite dimensions were determined. Chairman Drigans said one of the areas that will have to be discussed, but not with this Committee, is the lighting as this is one of the problems with commercial property along East'.'River Road. There was then a discussion on.alternate locations for the building on the lot. Chairman Drigans noted that because of the shape of the lot, the total area of the building has only 18� lot coverage which is considerably less than the 40$ allowed per the Code. Mr. Crowder noted that even if only part of this building was built, it would still need many�of the same variances being asked for. Mr. Mattson said that in determining this location for the building on the lot, it was felt that even though it may not be the ideal location, it is the most appropriate location for the shape of the lot. He said such.things as refuse and storage areas might be better placed in the side instead of the back but this would be determined by Building Standards. MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Page 8 'ihe Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 ' q�. Chairman Drigans said the hardship is the,lot size and Mr. Plemel added that it is more the lot shape with relationship to all the setbacks. Mrs. Wahlberg �� asked if it was correct that the size of the building determines the number of � parking stalls. Mr. Mattson said in this case it is determined by the 7-11 store, beinq a store, and the rest of the building being used as office space. Chairman Drigans asked if it was thought to be conceivable to have 41 cars here at any one time. Mr. Mattson said he didn't think so. Chairman Drigans asked if as long as the space is available, is it necessary to blacktop the entire area for parking. Mr. Mattson said if it is not blacktopped, it would need another variance. Mr. Crowder said variance "E" could be eliminated as it is only needed for 3 cars to back out of the stalls but then they would need a reduction in stalls from 41 to 38. He said since we don't know what is going into the other half of the building, and according to the Code it could be a number of things, it is conceivable that the stalls will be�needed. Chairman Drigans said it would be easier to give them a variance on parking stalls as there is no other place to � park because they can't park on the street. Mrs. Wahlberg said unless you get something in there like a V.F.W., the parking stalls could be reduced. Mr. Crowder said tris would eliminate one variance but we would have to grant a variance on the number of stalls. Chairman Drigans added that this change would create more green area. M�. Cr.owder said that this idea is well taken and . he felt it should be in the motion that if Building Standards wanted more green area instead of all the parking stalls, that the Board would entertain_the deviation. Mr. Nordale said they would prefer this also if it could be done, assuming that the stalls would not be needed for the tenants. Mrs. Wahlberg said she would like to know if in a 7-11 store, if the deliveries are made in the €ront or in the back. Mr. Nordale said the way it is set up at ^, present, it could be on either the side or back and he added that the general '+ deliveries are made during the day and these could also go in the front. Mrs. � . Wahlberg asked if there would be access to the refuse containers if these were placed along the back of the building. Mr. Nordale said this is usually handled by screening with access to it. He said there hasn't been the need for any direct immediate pick-up. Mrs. Wahlberg said the reason she is asking is that a driveway in the back might need another varianceo Mro Mattson said � this had been discussed with the Planning Assistant and he was sure it could • be worked out. There was a discussion on moving the building west but it was determined that this could possibly__infringe on the easement. Mr. Crowder said this looks like a very unfortunate situation of C-2S which is an all encompassing thing, anythinq from an office to a store, and because of the shape of the land and the fact that there are three street, basically one being a half street, he felt he was in agreement with granting all of the variances that are being requested and further he would make a recommendation following that, that the next body considering this, make a determination as to whether 41 stalls are really necessary. He said he would just as soon see variance "E" eliminated and possibly a rearrangement of the whole parking area. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel,'to recommend to the City Council, approval of the variances, referred to as "A" through "G" as requested by Meridian � Corporation, with the following suggestions; 1. On the direct access to East � River Road that there be a sign installed stating "No Left Turn". 2. The next r body to consider this, be it Building Standards or the City Council, consider the Board's recommendation to eliminate variance "E" by eliminating 3 existing stalls on the northwest corner of the property in the hope that this area be turned in green area. . � Page 9 �,.y The Minut�s of the Boa�:d of Appeals Subcommittee Meetir_g of May 13, 1975 � Chairman Drigans said he could see considerably more stalls being eli.minated. Mrs. Wahlberg said that until the Board knocas what tenants are going into �- the building, it is hard to determine how many stalls are actually needed. She said depending on the tenant, more could be eliminated but she said she would like to reserve judgement on it. She said it could also fluctuate as the tenants change. Chairman Drigans said the space is available and the stalls could be put in, if needed, at a later date. Mrs. Wahlberg said if the � Board gives a kind of blanket variance on this, they would be setting a precedent for other commercial sites that come along. A VOTE UPON THE MOTION, all voting aye, the motion carried. 3.

(REQUEST BY THE WALL CORPORATION, 8200'NORMANDALE BOULEVARll, BLQOMINGTON, MINNESOTA 55437.) � MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Wahlberg, to open the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. There was no one present to present the request, Mr. A. F. Miller, 525 Bennett Drive, was present to object to the request. Mr. Crowder asked if the Board hadn't approved all of these variances before, and also asked if the Council hadn't approved them. Mr. Mattson said the variances nad been approved one year ago, and since approval is only valid for one year if construction is not begun, the Wall Corporation is asking for a time extension on this approvaL Mro Miller said he did not understand from the public nearing notice that this was just a time extension. Mr. Miller asked how much of an extension was being asked for. �Mr. Crowder answered that he thought it would be a or.e year extension. Mr. Crowder asked if these variances w�re exactly the same as when they were approved before. Mr. Mattson said they are the same, that there has been no changes in any way with the proposal. Mr. Miller asked if the lots along 7th Street were still going to be residential. Chairman Drigans said that is the way they were plotted so they would stay residential. Mr. Plemel said since all of the variances were granted before, and the proposal � has not been changed, he said he would go along with the time extension. Mrs. � Wahlberg said she didn't agree with this. She said this is about the third year that the City has dealt with this piece of property and she said she felt that as a City and as a Board, we have bent over backwards to accomodate Wall Corporation in everyway possible. She said she realizes that mortgage money is tight but she said the Wall Corporation assured the Board one year ago that they were P�ge 10 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcomanittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 ready to build. She said she was just leary that if the Board was to grant � 8 a years extension on the variances; #1 If taall Corporation would even start r"'� construction, and, #2 That they might not anyway, as they review the changing market, they might want a totally different plan. Mr. Crowder said he thought this might be true, and he asked if the Board had to grant a full year for the extension or could it just be granted for 60 or 90 days. Chairman Drigans said he felt they would need a legal opinion on this. He said he felt the petitioner should appear to show the hardship as to why construction has not started, and to tell the Board how much of an extension is needed. Mr. Miller said he would like to go on record as opposing any extension of time being granted. The Board wanted to know what the Code read as far as an extension of time. Chairman Drigans read 5ection 205.188, Lapse of Variance by Non-Use from the City Code. This section stated, "Whenever within one (1) year after granting a variance the recipient of the variance shalJ. not have completed the work as permitted by the variance, then such variance shall become null-and.void t�,nless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has been granted by the Board of Appeals. Such extension shall be requested in writing and filed with the City Manager at least twenty (20) days befare the expiration of the original variance. The request for extension shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete the work permitted in the variance. Such petition shall be presented to the Board of Appeals for hearing and decision in the same manner as the original request for variance." Chairman Drigans read to the Board, the letter written to the Wall Corporation '� by Darrel Clark, informing them that the variances would expire if an extension of time was not requested or construction was not started before June 3, 1975. Chairman Drigans also read the letter in an�wer from the Wall Corporation dated Apri1�25, 1975 and directed to the City Manager which requested a years time extension on the variances. Chairman Drigans also read parts of a letter from the Wall Corporation, date3 April 25, 1975, and directed to Darrel Clark, which went over the items that need to be resolved before a building permit could be issued for the project. Mr. Crowder said based on the fact that the letter specifically asks for a years extension, and also since the letter states the project has been submitted to F.H.A. for final approval, he said he would be inclined to go along with the time extension. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel, to receive the three letters read by Chairman Drigans. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Miller said he felt that since there was no one present to present this request, and since there W�e objections to the request, he felt it should be denied. MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearingo Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. /1 Chairman Drigans said that the Board shoul.d maybe recommend to the City Council, ' waiving the action on the time extension until after the final approval on this project has been obtained from F.H.A. He said if F.H.A. doesn't approve the project, then the applicant is sitting with something that he has another � years approval on. Mr. Mattson said the applicant has gotten approval on requests before, and then has come back in a month with completely different plans for other requests. He said if approval was given on this plan, the Page 11 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 „��, applicant would not be bound to stay with tliis plan. Mr. Plemel noted that if the � Board was to table this reguest, then they could find out what is going on with the F.H.A. approval before giving a time extension. MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Plemel, based on the letter received from the iVall Corporation through the City Manager which says the project has been submitted to the F.H.A, for final approval, and they are not sure how long that will take, to recommend to the City Council appr-oval of the time extension. Mrs. Wahlberg said she would have to vote against this motion for the following reasons; 1. Because she feels the applicant at this point has already had one year to come up with some kind of financing, in fact all during the time the plans were being approved the applicant had ti�e to cor.►e up with tentative financing and now it seems the Board is being asked to grant a blanket approval for another years time and she objects to it. 2. She objects to the fact that the applicant was not present to give the Board the opportunity of his personal testimony as to why the'Board should approve the request. Mrs. Gabel said she agreed with this and she also felt there was not a sufficient explanation in the letter as io why this should be approved. A VOICE VOTE UPON THE MOTION, Plemel and Crowder voting aye, Wahlberg, Gabel and Drigans voting nay, the motion DID NOT CARRY. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel, to recommend to the City Council, tabling this request until the next regular meeting, (May 27, 1975), at which time the Board would like the petitioner to appear, and this would still allow � ample time before the variances become void. A VOTE UPON THE MOTION, Wahlberg and Drigans voting aye, Gable, Plemel and Crowder voting nay, the motion DID NOT CARRY. Chairman Drigans asked Mrs. Gabel, since she voted against both motions, what she wauld vote for. NIrs. Gabel said she would vote to deny the request. Chairman Drigans said the reason he wants the petitioner present at the meeting is because the Code states the request shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete the work and the applicants letter, in his judgement, doesn't state that there has been a good faith attempt, Mrs. Gabel agreed with this. Mrs. Wahlberg said her reason for tabling as to totally denying the request is, should the applicant get F.H.A. approval and the Board denies these variances, then the applicant must oaait 6 months to repetition for the same variances. She said she felt the Board would be placing the applicant in an awkward position. Mro Crowder said that she was assuming that the City Council would agree with the Board's decision to deny the request. The Board questioned whether the petitioner would have to wait 6 months to reapply if the time extension wa.s denied, or if he could coMe in the day after the Council meeting and reapply if the Council agreed'with the Boardo Chairman Drigans said he felt, that as stated in the Code the request.for the � � extension must state the facts and show good faith that there was an attempt to eomplete the work, and he said he didn't know where any attempt has been made to complete the work. He said the applicant should be here to present his case. Mr. Crowder said that even though he has strong feelings to approve this request, he would go along with tabling to move the request along. . Page 12 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 MOTION by Wahlberg to reconsider tabling this request until the next meeting,, for the reasons stated in the first motion. Seconded by Crowder. Upon a � �i voice vote, Wahlberg, Crowder and Drigans voting aye, Gabel and Plemel voting �;• � nay, the motion CARRIED. 4.

MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Crowder,, to open the public hearing. Upon a voice � vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. � Mr. Ryan was present to present the request. A plot plan of the property and pictures of the existing building were shown to the Board. Mr. Ryan explained he wants to enclose the northeast corner of his building. He said his building has four different roof lines now and this addition will meet the lower level. He said the facia will continue along the north side of the addition which will improve the looks of the building as it will hide the different roof levels. Mr, Crowder asked what the addition will be used for. Mr. Ryan said it will be Z flat stalls with a doorway on the north. Mr. Ryan said he needs the addition as he needs more room and he needs a space where he can service his rental mobile home. .He said he needs an ll foot door to get this mobile unit inside the building. He said he has had to service this unit outside the building which is not practical, in the winter. Mr. Plemel asked if Mr. Ryan owned this building and Mr. Ryan said that he did. Chairman Drigans said for the Boards information, the �irst three variances are for the new addition and the remaining variances are housekeeping variances.on what is existing. Mr. Mattson said that according to the City Attorney, existing variances on a non-conforming building do not have to go before the Board unless the variances would be being increased, so it is not necessary for the Board to take action on these to clear them up. Mr. Mattson said that also the third variance to allow off-street parking next to a lot line is technically already � existing as it is all blacktopped. He said the first two variances are the e only real variances as far as the new construction is concernecl. Mr. Crowder said that the first variance of rear yard setback from 25 feet to 20 feet is already existing on the present buildi.ng and the second variance for off street parking from'5 feet to zero feet of the building also basically exists. � � " Page 13 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of May 13, 1975 Mr. Crowder.said he is interested in what it will look like when it is done as �� he felt any changes would be improvements. Mr. asked if this was going to go n to the Building Standards committee. Mr. Mattson said it would be on their next agenda. Mr. Ryan said the addition would not look like an addition. He said it F�ill be tied into the existing building and all be painted the same, � and because of the extended facia, the roof levels will be hidden from the north. Mr. Crowder said every one of these variances as he sees it are existing now, and it looks like the City is gaining with the additional green area. He said he felt this would be improving the property quite a bit as far as green area and more storage area and he would go along with it. MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a • voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, approval of the yariances, based on the reasons stated before that were; most of•the variances are existing and the property will be improved as far as green :�ea and the recreational vehicle will have inside storage space. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried; ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 P.M. by Chairman Drigans.

N�ERS PRESIIVT: Harris, Peterson � EXCUSED: Caldwell, Wagar O�RS PRESII�: Jim Hili, Public Safety Director, and a--Senior Citizens Group SIIQIOR CITIZENS A group ot senior citizens came into our meeting to discuss a funding problem the�r are having with the Suburban Recreation Associ.ation. 4ne o� �he__gentlemen__�xplained that two years ago the Suburban Recreation Association was awarded granteeshi.p of the Titl.e III Senior Citizens Grant under the Older Ain�exicans Act. He said that recently the N�e�trop�litan Council has re-evaluated their priarities and placed txansport�a.tion, health needs, and nutritional needs as the top priorities for Seni.or Citizens Programs. He said that recreation and leisure needs for seniors have b�en placed on l�a priorit�r and consequently funding far the third year of the grant will not be available. He sai.d tha� means that services provided to th� car�itunit� for a full time staff nv�nber will not continue after June 30, 1�75 unless they can cccne up with sane fur�ding to support the program. He said that their � basic hope is that they would find the possibility of I976 �dgeti.ng for �.his progra�n, and had discussed this with the Fridley City Council. In f.he n�arltime the City Council had referred th�n to the Parks ancl Recreation Ccxranission to see if they could find the $1500 in their budget. The program needs $300Q.00 per year to continue in Fridley. /� Messrs.

LIQUOR O�INANCE _ . . . - Mr. Jim Hill was present to discuss the intoxicating liquor ordinances currently in effect in Fridley arxi surrounding cararnanities. He explained the problesns in inforcing whatever ordinances are in effect. He sa.id that we currently have tw� ardinances neither one of which refers to beer as 3.2, just simply "beer". Mr. Hill said that each cx�munity has a different regulation and that no two are alike. He asked for recarmexxlations frcan the Cccrmission on revising the ordinance ar�d defining what beer is; whether 3.2 or all beer should be banned fro�n the parks. Mr. Peterson mentioned that the C�[nission made a reccxYxnendation in theix meeting of August 26, 1974 to entorce the beex ordinance to prohibit all beer, wines, etc. fran the parks, except IACke Park which should be allowed to have 3.2, beca.use they had the same information as riaw, that the Supreme Court ruled 3.2 beer as not intoxicating. Mr. Hill asked for a copy of our August 26, 1974 Minutes which discusses fihe ordinance in scane length. and states the Canmission' s recc�naner�dation. ^ The next regular meeting will be held on Nbr�lay, June 23, 1975 at 7i30 p.m. in � the C.�nrnznity i2r..�n of Fridley Civic Center.
