I�Tr. Boardr.ian stated that Pa;e 35 of the agenda indicated the location
of the lo-t. The lot is located on the corner of 76th Avenue and Able
Street. The present zoning in the area is R-1 with -the exception af
the lots facing Able ar_d Baker Street v�rhich are zoned R-2. The rest
of the zoning across the stree� on Able is R-1 and the majority of the
houses in there are sin�;le family houses.
P:1re Oquist asked s"or a clearer explanation of the zoning.
PQr. Boarc�man s�ated that the ].ots �rres � of Able are R-1 and -the lots
across the street are R-?_ an� 2re directly east. They are developed
as do�ble bun�,alo��s. The lots to the nori;h of• 76t11 Avenue are R-1 lots �
and are develaped as sin�le �amily homes. I.Ir. Boardman stated although
the lots �;enerally run east and �vest, there is a loi: split -�here that
has Ucen granted -�hat makes �l�ose lots� Lots 1 and 2, go north and �outhe
So� there is a portion o�' Lots 1 and 2 i,i one of the lots,.on the corner

facin� 76th Avenue N.E. with the �ide yard facing Able Street.
� I�Zr. Boardman. showed the Cornmissioners the plans for the proposed
struc�;.ure. The plan included the elevations. It wauld be split right
down -h;he Middle. There are services ta the 7.ot so that v�ould not be
a problema iie s'tated that StafF ���ould prefer to see sin�le family
developr.lent in �:hat area rather than d.uplexes to rnaintain consistency
v�ithin the nei�hborhoods I� Staff were to make a recommendation, they
would recor�mend denial.
P1s. Hughes asked i�' 'chey �vould be 2-bedroom units?
P�Ire Bo�rdman s�ated �hey v;ould. He also sta�Ced that -�he way the lot
is set up•it would meet the code reauirements if a Special Use Permit
were granted. There are 10,000 square feet on th.e lo-� and that would
meet the requiremen-� for R-2.
Tdts. Hu�hes asked why -they were requestin.g a Special tTse Permit?
T.Zr. Boardman sta�ed that a Special Use Perrni�t Vrould allow a double
bungalow in an.I�-1 in cer�ain cases so they �vouldn't ha�ve to go to
a rezoning. If conditions rvere right� and if, for example; there
were other double bun�,alo�vs in the area, a SPecial Use Permi-t could
be granted to allow this -type of thing. lhey have done this in certain
• areas wher� they wanted to keep the zoning R-1 but gave special con-
sidera�i;ions ior a dupl_ex because of -�he surrounding proper�ies. The
surrounding �roperties tivere either industrial or commercial and it U�as
collsistent zoning. So, instead of spo� rezoning, they requ�st a SpECia�
r` Use Permit.
T�Zs. 5chnab�l asl;ed is" the survcy on Page 3� v��as reflective of the
proposed diaelling?
Mr. Boardman s�ated it was.
Iti75. SchnabeZ s-�ated that on the AUle 5treet side they show a 35 £oot
setback, but ac-�ually they cou.ld ga to 1'�.5. .
Tti�r. �oardman stated -tha� was correct and there was adequate room on the
lo�t for tl�e st�.^�icture.
�Zso Schnabel noted tha�; the �arage rvas to the rear of the property and
asked how many parl�cinv stalls �vould be required for a double bungalo��
if this we�e a.pproved?
TrTr. Boardman s�tated that they would need 11 stalls per unit on a double
bun{;alow. A 3 st�ll garage �vould not be required� all they ���ould need
is 1z stalls oi��str�et per unito which could be driveway. So they
could have a 2 car gara�e and have �1� parking spaces.
P��, Schnabel asked ii they coulc3 have a single car garage �vith a drive-
way wide enou�h �'or 2 cars?
�``ti I�2r. 13oardman stated the3r could do i � anyway -they �van�ed as long as they
have 3 off-street stall.s.

I��ir. Oquisl: asked �vhy T�[r. l3oardr�an had recor�men.cled. denial?
P�:r. Loardman stated 'chat in his opinion the au�lexes along ]3ak�r and �'
. Able streets d.o provide some bu�'fer be-t,vaeen the industrial �Lhat is
across the stree� from L'aker� and didn°t uee an� reason for extend.in� .
the duplexes into 'che single dwelling area. All the units on that block
are single iarnily. He c�id not see any special conditions that would
make a dupl.ex necessary.
i+Zr. Treuenfels asked ho�rr his recomr�endation tied in with the overall
goal of the Ci�y to provicie �n aadi�;ional 230�� housing uni�s?
PdTr. Boar�man stated that iie felt there were o�ther areas where it would
be More suitable to �o for }ziJher density. lIe did not think they
should. jeopardi�e single f�mil;� areas v�hich are lotver density areas just
to achieve 2300 units. �ie felt the ?>300 t�nits �,voul.d stanc� regardles:
o�° �;oin� into single f�mily area� znd incre��ing the density. I-ie did
not see any reason for it.
P�so Schnabel stated that one thing �hat migl�t be d�ceptive was �hat an
76•th .�v�nue �^ahich j>>>ould be across the street to the �'ront of this
p�rticular structure, thEre is only one house there and that ��ro�.ild �e
895 7dth Avenue. The other properties, g5S throu�h. 8�35 are a�tually
sc�lool property noti�� and are vacant. So there would be only one hame
facing this structure on 76 �,h. The p?^operty to -the v;�est is school
property.
P�Ir. I3oardman showed the CQrnr�a.ssioners an aerial photograph of the ^
arAa. �
Tlr. Ted �:olster., the pe-�i�tioner, came for���ard and stated �hat the reason
he mad.e the request vras that it tivas a lar�e 1ot, over 15,000 square feet,
and h� did not think that it would be ou� o�' character to have a double
bungalovd here �vhen tlz.ere �aere doubles across the s �reet �'rom it, on the
side of the lo-t. In addition to beinj lar�,�, the diificulty with the
lot is tha't the grade is aoout 2 �o �a �ee � belo�v street grade and ir1
ad.dition there is abou� 3 to � iee�: of peat-li'_�;e material on the surface,
In order to build there they lvould have to reMOVe that material in order
to get do��m to a fiir� Material and more tnan likely some corapac�tion or
ex-tra courses o�' block. The cost o:F cioing t�zis woul� make building a
single far,zilV home prohibii,ivel�T expensive. Tne homes in �che area are
nice Uu� they aren' i, i�igh braclLet hor:les such as a lot with these expenses
would dic �ate buildirl�. Tt tivould have to be a relatively expensive
hor.le ��ahich he did not tl�.in1L ��:�eula be s::lable. Luildinn a double buiz�alo�v
�vould increase tihe lanc� value and they could afiord i�o put rnore rnoney
into �he land ir nec�ssary. ,-Ie �thou�ht �ha� ��he reason i� v�ent �t�x-
�'orfeit ;^r�s �;hat it ��ras ��ot economic�lly feasiule to build a single
family house on it. lie tall~ed 'to the nei�hbors and they didn't expr�ss
any par�zcular 'objections to a doub.le 1�un�ala��a i.� he vuil.t a nice one.
He sha�red them tlle pl�ns and pictures �-�nd they discussed that if he

P�Is. Schnabel s�a�ed that then he v��a� not making a guarantee that he
� vaould sell it as ar� own�r occupied unit but was building it �'or re-
saZe purpnses, -
1�1ir. Holsten stated �hai: was correc�.
T,2s. Hughes stated that she had noted a conflict as �to the size of
the lot and asked :far �he correct square footage.
Plfr. 3oardman stated that the lot was 15,0�0 square feet.
� PeZr. Treuenfels stated that he noted on the plans that th� main traffic
pa-t�ern passes throu�;n the kitchen on �the first iloor and asked if
that was standard?
1�Tr. Holsten statec� that for a double bungalow of this -�ype, tha't was
�---�_ standard. He sta-ted -that a large numb�r of this type had be�n built
and ���cre salable. Having a long common wall cioes dictate some con-
strain�:s .
T�is. Schnabel asked what size of garage he was planning to build?
T�r7r. Holsten stated that he had proposed a 20x22 which would be a 2
car garage but had forgot-�en about the 12 stall requirement per unit
and �vould be �'lexible v�ith regards �o that.
,� . Mr. Boardman stated that the d-rivev�ray would qualify.
PfTr. Holsten stat�d tha� the driveway was about 50 feet long. He �'elt
that a 3 car garage would look big on -the loto
P,Ir. Oquast s�a�ed that 20x22 was a small 2 car garage.
1�Zr. Holsten sta�ed tha-� there would be a full basement far storageo
r�r. Boardman asked I'�1r. Holsten why he chose the desa.gn he did and �vhy
he didn° ��;o with a design �vith an attached garage? This desi� seemed
old-z"ashioned and sirnilar to the ones built in the 1950's and 1g60's.
It seems quite small. Sonie o�' the more recent double bungalo�vs or .
duplexes have attached garages on the lo��er floor and it gives a
separa �ion o�' living units.
P,Zr. Holsten stated that the problem of putting a�arage in the middle
o� this one is that it adds to -�he eleva�ion of the building and also
adds to the expense of putting in �the foundation. The proposed design
�vould have a z"ull basemcnt and he �vould have to go several courses be-
low �h�t in order �o �et do�vn to firr� �'ootin�;s. I�' he went to �the split-
en-try-type or the �1.ab-type wi-th -�he second s�tory on it� it would take
a dozen was�ed caurses of block and tvould b� economically unr"easible to
buil.d. He �elt this �vas more attractive �Ehan hav�ng the garages right
in fraM�.

P.1s.Schn�bel s�tated th.at she agreed wi-th I�Zr. I3oarciman only because
she felt that v�ith �;his size of a lot, it could take a lar�er ,�.�
structure �vith perhans 3 bedx•oom� or �omethin�; r;iore snacious rathEr
than the rninimal size oi this p1an. That tivas why she had brought
up the setbacks. 1•Ie could pu� a larger structure on this 10�:.
%".r. Hols��n �`tated -tha� he did not thinit that 3 bedroom double hungalows
returned as ��rell as 2 bedroom ones. He could have made it larger, but
the ones across �he street are considerably smaller than this and if
you build a large building among srnal.l ones, the return is not too
good.
P,Zs. Sennabel sta�ed that those doubles lookecl fairly big �'rom the
�'ront because they are longo
P,�r. Boarc?man stated -chat he was disapnointed �vith the design of the
structure. H� felt tha.t i� 'che Sp�cial Use Permit �vere to be approved,
they should get something tha� ���ould add a little bit more �o t�.e
nei�hborhood rather than just building ano-ther �tructure that is sir�ilar
to the one across on Able Street. •
1�7s. Hughes asked v,Thy he didn't iace it towards the other c�ouble bungalo��vs
on l�ble rather than to�vards 7E��h?
PrZr. Holsten s�ated tha-t he had �though�t o� that but �his plan didn° t
lend itself -to that and with -che lot beina 95 ?eet deep, it �vouldn° t
leave much oi a bacl: yard.� v�Tith the 35 �'oo�t setbacY and the builc�a.ng
bein� 32 f�et d.eep, it �r�ould only leave � 28 foot Y�ack yard. He stat��'
that he vaas not locked in on tlzis particular double bungalowJ and il�it
�uould please the Cornrnissior_, he could come in vaith arlother plan.
the request for a Special Use Permit were granteci, he wouldn't be opposed
to that.
T'�s. iiughes stated tha'c the one house next door 1"aces 76�� and asked
wha� ti�as on the other two lots?
T�Is. Schnabel stated �ha1: the other houses �'aced Van Buren Stre�t. There
are really only two houses that face 7hth and they are 876 and �395•
Pdro Bill Jordan, 895 76th Avenue T3E, carne �or�raard and stated that he
had a Petition signed by 20 people. Ou-t of 22 homes �h.at he went to,

major problem was that the nei�;hbors were relating him to the o�wners
of the property across 'the str�et. }-ie c?oesn't Ynow i;hose people and
didn't feel he should be judged because of �vhat they did. He stated r
he had built several double bungalow, and none of them look like the
ones across the �treet. They are well maintained. He no�ed that a
�ingle faMily hor�e could deteriorate also. That is a function of the
owner. Iie would be �villing to gu.arantee tha� he would sell the double
bungalow after it is built and therefore, there would be a high pro-
bability �hat�it would be owner occupied.
T�s. Hughes asked T.ir. liolsten if he hac� other property in F'ridley?
P�r. Holsten stated he did not. He has haa property in Colunbia Heights

UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTII�IG AYF, VIC� C�iAI�'^10T..AId SCHNABEL DECLARLD
T�IE PUBT.�IC I- i+ RIIdG CLOSuD AT 8 a 15 P.tY7. '
P�Zs. Hughes asked about the advasability oi us3ng Special Use Permits
rather than rezoning. Philosophically it seems to be a cap-out to her
and yet it also pravic�es some �rotection to the area because if that
use ever chan�es it reverts to the zonino. She would like some dis-
cussion regardin�; the question of SpECial Use Permits rather than re- �„�
zoning, �
Pp�s. Schnabel stated that she v�Tas svrprised tha-� it came as a Special
Use Permit also. The feeling in the past has been, in. dealing witr�
Special Use Permits (SUP), the Planning Comm?ssion has generally been
a little leary of tl�em because the burden of proof is more on the City
than on the petitioner in terrns of ap�roval or deniale Part of the
agend.a is to receive a neva memorandum on this question o�' SUP from the
City A�t�ornery. She did kno���• that philosophically in thepast, the
Planning Commission has preferred to see them handled straight ou-t.
Ta�r. Boardrlan stated �hat at one time the Courlcil had �sked the Planning
Commission to look at the question of �vhether it would be betzer to have
a SUP or rezonin; and not allow a duplex izz an P�-1. :Ie believed that at
'cha-t time the Planning Commission did send a recor.irnendation tts keep the
double bungalotv �vi-ch � SUP, because t�-�ere wEre c�rtain conditions they
might v�rant to look at as far as a SUF' for a douUle bungalova if there were
speci�l conditions. He was not sure what the Council's attitude v;as at
-that time, but it �r�as his unders�anding that they wanted to eliminate
that because i'c does create a}.iroblern in certain aspects. It is an
easier ��vay i'or sor�ebody to get a double bungal.o. Although� ei�her �one
requires a public heaxing. ,

� Tis. Sclznabel sta�ted -�ha� in tYizs si���aation it is al.most like rezoning
because -they are tal:in� an i�olated lot anc3 �ivin� it a new tw�is�.
They would be ��ermittin� sornethin{; to be built on other than v��hat it
tva� zoned for, and she thou�;ht that vrhether they call it re2oning or
call it a��ecial U�e Permit� the ul-tima-te re�ul� ��:ould be uame. So
they have to lool� «-L wYiether tha ��vas �lie intent of' the original zoning
?an. In terms of rnzonzn�, several people on the Board have been con-
sis�e�.t in opposing spo�t rezoninG.
�
�
T.7r. Oquis� stated that rezoning was permanent where a SUP is temporary.
I�Zr. Boa.rdman stated 1�ha�c ��ras not reaZly the case bec�use a Special Use
Permit is granted to tile la:�d not t?�e structure or o�v�ler. Orice a SUP
is granted that auto��atically allo��s another use that would be sima.lar
to tlz�t. I_f �he buildin�, �ti�as des�troyed the buildin� coul� be replaced
vrithout another �ublic heari.n�;. :-ie noted that a SUP gives the City a
certain ar,�ount of control L�cause -they can �lace certain conditions on
it such. as allDrrin� i-� �'or one year tivith an.nual revie�v and also the
Council can revol•�e a SUF. �iowever, with a rezonin�, a special process
-�;���lc� be recryuired. In sorne c2ses they allo�ved a SUP for the construction
of doubl.e bungalows in an R-1 vahere there wa� industrial across irom
it vah.ich made the properi:y undesirable �or R-1 if they were good looYing
units.
I��7so Schnabel stated that she disagreed tha-� the SUP �vere usually granted
to tltie Iand a It seemed -to ner �that thEy �vere gz anted to 'che owner.
T��r. Eoardman stated that was the case in some instances, bu-t in rnost
cases, it w�s granted to the land.
T��s. Schnabel stated tha� in this case it would have to go �o the lot
because Iylr. iiols-ten planned to sell.
T��s. I-Iughes asked ho�v �the decision was made to ask for a SUP or rezonin�?
I�Zr. Boardman stated th�t �vhen � petitioner comes in, Staf�' loolfs at it
and advises them �s to �vh�t route �Llzey tvould have the best chances witho
In this case, he felt �;h� rezoning v��otald never be approvedo I-ie stated
that he cou].d never approve a rezonin�, here. The only way he would
approv e a SUP v��as �>>ith a lot of sp�cia]. conditions #'or the protection
oi the nei�hbors. rven tllen, he ����s very cau'cious becuase he didn° �t
feel �ither rezonin� or G S�ecial Use Permit tvas in the best interest
o� the nei;;nborhooc�. or the City. `lhey try to gi�ve the petitioner �the
bes�t direc��ion they can as to which �vay to �o and which way �vould be
his i�est cnance, i:C they feel there i� ar�y hope at all. In some cases,
they try to discoura�e the d�veloner from �oin� at all.
T47re Treueniels asked P�ir. �3oardman to el.aborate on the case of Iiolasek v
the Villa3�� of I:edina whicl�. was mentione� izl t.�e memo f.rom 1"�Zr. Herrick
re�arding Special Use Perrnits.
PLAIdNITdC CCTy'IP:IISaIOPd P.1�rTIT`iG, AUGUST 22, ].979 - PI�GE 10
PQr. Treuen�els read the following s-�at�ment crom the ra�mo � "a denial
of t]Ze permit mus� be �o.r reasons related to public health, safety, an�
general welfare." This statement va�s on Fage 3 of the memo.
T,�r. ?3oardman stated tkza-t when they talk about �eneral welfare they
were re�erring to the �feneral welfare of thF neighborhood. Ii �he
City feels that a structure would not be a.n the best interestes of
the City or the developm�nt oi a n�ighborhood, those would be grour.ds
for denial. The difference betv�een a rezoninm and a Special Use Permit
is that the reasons �or cienial for a SU� falls upon the City and the
City must �ive the reasons for the den�al. Under zoning, the petitioner
has to �ive �rounds as to why i-L should be rezoned. lie stated that you
can lay aut p-ret-ty stron� �x�ounds a"� in:�t a SU�' ii' you want to deny it.
General v�relfare is a verJ broad categoryo
I��r. Oquist stated that Page �F discussed 'che standaras.
P�is. Schnabel stated there was also a sta�ement where in terms of
genera2 public vrelfare� it should not irnpaii^ the use, enjoyrnen�t and
value of any pror�erty. ,
b2r. Boardman stated that when they -tallc about a SUP in a residential
area, �hey generally have a lo� of grounds.
I�Ts. Schnabel stated that another thing that maltes it difficult is �Chat
in working lvith SUP� th.ey have to be very care�:ul in a aeni�l �hat -c�zey
cite legal :ceasons to ul�bstantiate �ne denia_l. If the peti-�ioner has ^

P�7�. Hu�hes stated that with the co�t of housin�, 'che man had a point

to uroviae housin� for �'u�ure �;enera+ionsa Tt isn't all a case of

the nei�?�borin� houses are oriented in such a v,Pay that th.ey ought to
