CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Robinson stated Redeemer Lutheran Church was located on Mississippi
just east of Hickory St. It was a combination church and school. It was
surrounded by R-1 properties except for a city park on the east. He stated
Redeemer Lutheran Church was proposing a multi-use facility which would be
added on to the west of the existing facility. It would involve the removal
of a portion of the existing structure. It also called for the removal of
approximately 16 parking stalls.
Mr. Robinson stated Staff had the following concerns:
1. There be an approved landscape plan (Redeemer Lutheran Church has
agreed to do landscaping.)
2. The finish of the new building be compatible with the existing building
(which is brick) and in harmony with the residential character of the
neighborhood.
3. Special use permit subject to approval of Rice Creek Watershed District
and City En9ineering requirements (Redeemer Lutheran Church is in the
process of getting Rice Creek Watershed District approval.)
4. Assurance that programming of activities will not create added parking
demands which would cause an on-street parking problem. (He believed
this problem had been rectified by a change in programning�
Mr. Robinson stated Redeemer Lutheran Church has 259 existing parking stalls
and they will be removing 16 stalls. By city code, they would require
approx. 200 stalls. So, by code, Redeemer Lutheran Church has an abundance
of parking.
Mr. Greg Shuster, Station 19 Architects, stated he has been working with
Redeemer Lutheran Church on this project for several years. He stated
Mr. Robinson had sumned up the project very well. He stated the church
started out with a wood-frame chapel. A sub-grade, partially below grade
addition, was added on to the original chapel in 1952. That was followed
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAY 23 1984 PA6E 3
by a sanctuary addition in 1959 and finaily a two-story education addition
in 1963. Presently, there are four levels within the existing structure.
There is an upper and lower level through the sanctuary� and the rest of
the facility has an upper and lower level which matches up with the
education area. He stated the existing fellowship hal] is on the lower
level.
Mr. Shuster stated they plan to actually demolish a majority of the
existing structure and add somewhat to the square footage of that parti-
cular pari of the facility. Along with that, there is some adjacent
existing kitchen area they hope to update and the addition of sane bathrooms
and showers off the gymnasium/fellowship ha11.
Mr. Shuster stated they are also hoping to add sane accessibility in terms
of a handicapped multi-level lift that would make it possible to move from
the four different levels. Right now, that is limited by the present state
code which allows a lift to only travel a maximum of 54". The State is
presently looking at adopting a new ANSII code that would allow the travel
to be increased up to 12 ft. That may not occur in time for this project,
but they will at least be able to provide sane accessibility down to the
fellowsi�ip hall within the present code.
Mr. Shuster stated the church presently has a nice landscaping type of buffer
with relatively large mature trees, especially along Hickory St. and some
nice,newly planted trees along the north side. The one thing the church
really had not done is sane landscaping pertaining more to the church than
to the neighbors. The present project proposes to create a green space along
the north side of the existing facility and the interior courtyard.
Mr. Shuster stated the church presentl.y has a fellowshi� ha11 at thP lowar
level below the existing sanctuary. It is really a displacement of that with
an area that is going to be more multi-use, and that use is not intended for
any purpose such as adding to sanctuary space. The present sanctuary is very
adequate at this time.
Mr. Kondrick stated one of Staff's concerns was that the finish of the new
building be compatible with the existing building. What plans has the
church made to do that:
Mr. Gordon Christenson, 184 Pearson Way N.E., stated he was Co-chairman of
the Building Canmittee and a member of the church, He was also a land sur-
veyor. Ne stated they have looked at all types of different materials, but
because of budget problems and constraints, they are presently looking at a
precast concrete exterior. They are looking at the possibility of changing
that to brick, but he could not make a cortnitment at this time. They woutd
like to go with brick if it is economically feasible.
Ms. Gabel asked if Mr, Christenson would te11 why the church feels they need
this addition,
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 23, 1984 PAGE 4
Mr. Christenson stated the existing facility was built in 1952, and he
thought possibly that structure was built with the intention of eventually
building on a second story. He stated they have been planning
for years to do sanething about this structure. It is kind of rundown�
and they have probTems with the roof. It is very limited in size as to
what it can be used for. It has been called the youth room for a number
of years. He stated they have been in the planning process since 1978.
Their present fellowship hall below the sanctuary is restricted in size
for larger group gatherings. By taking care of the problem of the 1952
structure, they can make a space that is much more usable. They plan to
use the addition as a multi-use facility--a feilowship ha11/gymnasium.
At the same time, they are adding some classrooms and making the building
barrier-free,
Ms. Schnabel asked about the fenced-in area at the back of the building
where there were some school buses and sane �ther equipment. Where will
all that be going?
Mr. Christenson stated there are two school buses, a trailer, and a small
utiltty shed, They are making no provisions in the project to have that
equipment on site. In some manner when construction starts, they will make
provisions off-site for those buses and equipment.
Mr. Christenson stated the church did invite all the neighbors to the church
on Monday night to show them the plans and discuss the proposed project.
He stated only one person came. He stated he wanted the Commission members
to know that the church did make this effort and basically got no response
from the neig6borhood.
Ms. Schnabe7 stated she would have a problem with making a strict regulation
on the exterior of the building, especially when cost factors are involved.
She thought the Planning Comnission's major concern was that the exterior
be compatible with the existing facility and the neighborhood.
The Planning Carrnission members agreed with Ms. Schnabel.
Ms. Schnabel stated she was glad to see that the church would be putting in
some green space on the north side of the church,

Mr. Robinson stated this was basically housekeeping for the HRA. The plat
would take in all the property from the northerly property line of the
Fridley State Bank to Mississippi St. and bounded by University Ave. on the
west and 5th St. on the east. The new plat allowed for the Fridley Plaza
Clinic, future expansion of the clinic, new alignment of the roadway,the
plaza, the office building, City Hall, future development of Target. as welt
as future expansion of Target, and possible future joint parking arrangements
with Target.
Ms. Gladys 5orum, 411 MississiDpi St., stated she lived across from the
Fridley Library, She stated this was a very big parking lot to look at,
and there will be a lot of additional traffic. Will there be any kind of
barrier along Mississippi St.?
Mr. Robinson stated there will be large trees along Mississippi St., a bike-
way/walkway easement, and then about 20-25 ft. of bermed green space. The
parking lot will also be sunk down a little to soften the visual impact of
the parking lot fran the street and the neighborhood,
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 23, 1984 PA6E 6

Mr. Saba stated it was his understanding also that there will be an overlap
of shifts at Target. so all the traffic will not be caning in and going out
of the parking lot at the same time.
Ms. Brenda Tibbetts, 421 Mississippi St., stated she would like to express
her concern about the traffic on Mississippi, She stated that recently a
child was hit on 5th St, caning out onto Mississippi. 5he stated that with
all this new development, she would like to see some consideration given
for the heavy traffic at Mississippi & 5th St., possibly with a stop sign
at Mississippi St. and 5th St,
Mr, Saba stated this was a very valid concern, especially with the bikeway/
walkway along the parking lot and children riding their bikes and crossin9
Mississippi to get to the new comnunity park.
Mr, Robinson stated a
he would bring up this
as part of the study.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 23, 1984 PAGE 7
Mr. Robinson stated this proposal was for a repair garage on property
presently owned by Dayton-Hudson. The property was zoned C-3; and because
this was for a repair garage, it required a special use permit. All the
surrounding zoning was comnercial. He stated that on May 15th, the
Appeals Comnissi�n approved variances to reduce the lot size from 35,000
sq, ft, to 22,171 sq. ft.. to reduce the required front yard setback from
80 ft, to 66 ft.. and to reduce ihe required rear yard setback from 40 ft.
to 10 ft.
Mr, Robinson stated Staff had the following concerns:
1. An approved landscape plan.
2. A manageable slope must be ]eft on the east side of the lot not
greater than 3:7.
3. If bad soils are found. petitioner must provide soil alteration
plan which includes protection of car wash property.
4. Petitioner must agree to have no outside storage of cars or parts
at any time.
5. Require that operation manage their used oil or other hazardous
waste through appropriate means.
6. An approved drainage plan be required for building permit.
Mr. Oquist stated there was a former Precision Tune on Silver Lake Road.
It is now just a garage, and there are a lot of cars sitting around all the
time. If this special use permit is granted to Precision Tune. and for
some reason, the use changes to a plain repair garage, what happens to the
special use permitY Wou1d the special use permit be issued to the owner
and if� for some reason� orecision Tune moved� the special use permit
would then expire?
Mr, Robinson stated that was correct.
The petitioner� Mr. 6reen, stated there was another guarantee that this would
not happen, He stated Target reserves the right to approve any future
business owner.
Mr. Green stated the only chan9e ta this request was they may not have the
drive-through bay as previously planned because of energy considerations.
Mr. Oquist stated that wi#hout the drive-through bay, they may not have
ar.y trouble with the slope on the east side.
Ms. Schnabel asked about the poor soil conditions.
Mr. Green stated they have not had any soil tests taken� but they are
reasonably certain the soii is quite poor. If necessary� they will go
with pilings. The excavating companies he has talked to feel they can
excavate without endangering the car wash property.
Ms. Schnabel stated she thought the number of parking sta175 was a little
excessive for just three bays and the rapid repair turnover.

Mr. Robinson stated the lot in question is zoned R-1, located on the corner
of Oakley and Mississippi St. The present lot is 18,811 sq. ft. The
petitioner is proposing to split off the southerly 86 ft. to create a new
R-1 lot. Both new lots would be over the 9,000 sq, ft. needed.
Mr. Robinson stated Staff would recomnend the following stipu7ations if
this lot split was approved:
1.

The following variances for the existing structure be approved with
the lot split: front yard - from 35 ft. to 25 ft.

Park fee on one new lot of $750

Lot split be recorded at the County, if approved.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MAY 23 1984 PAGE 9
Ms. Schnabel stated the Planning Cortmission had a problem with the owner
not petitioning for the lot split.
The petitioner� Mr. John Hitchcock, stated he is under contract with the
existing property owner to buy the lot. He stated he was sure this had
happened with the northerly lot that was split off some time ago. At that
time, the petitioner requested the lot split and was granted the lot split.
Mr. Hitchcock stated there was a change in the lot split request. The
86 ft. should be changed to 84 ft.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr. Hitchcock if he had talked to any of the neighbors
in the area across Oakley St. or west of the lot about the visual impact
of putting a structure in front because it would be set further ahead of
any other house in the irtmediate area.
Mr. Hitchcock stated he has not talked to the neighbors across Oakley. The
property owner to the west is the father of the person he is buying the lot
from, and he was the only property owner he had talked to.
Mr. Hitchcock stated when he discussed this with Sill Deblon, Mr. Deblon
felt that since this house faced Oakley, it was applicable to the houses on
Oakley.
Ms. Schnabel stated she still had some problems with that house setting so
far forward. even though it was an Oakley St, house, rather than a Mississippi
St. house.
Ms. Gabel stated she had a problem with the variances 6eing approved with
the lot split. She did not think this had ever been done before with a lot
split. Since it was a housekeeping type of thing, that might be the reason
for it; but by not following the variance procedure, it eliminated the public
hearing process whereby the neighbors would be notified of what was happening.
Ms. Schnabel stated she saw the following problems with this lot split
request:
1. The variance situation--granting the variances with the lot split.
2. Not having the actual owner on record with the lot split request.
3. The situation of the setback impact on Mississippi St. This
should be checked out with respect to the setback requirements in
the Zoning Ordinance or a legal opinion. Would this be setting a
precedent?
Ms. Schnabel sta*.ed she realized the petitioner was anxious to move on
this. but she thought possi6ly the Planning Carrnission should table this
request until their June 5th meeting when these problems can be clarified.
Mr, Kondrick stated he agreed that tfiis request should be tabled until these
questions are answered.
PLANNIIJG COMMISSION MEETING MAY 23 1984 PAGE 10
Mr. Hitchcock stated he strongly objected to this, because of the fact that
he had made himself avaitable to do everything the Staff had requested.

Mr. Robinson stated this property was located to the north of 73rd Ave.
and east of Hayes St. The property is zoned R-3. The property is surrounded

to the owners to promote good maintenance.)

UPON A VQICE VOTE, ALL VOTSNG AYE, ACTING
1N(ITION CARRSED UNANIMOUSLY,
1. POSSIBLE LISTING AGREEMENT FOR HARDWARE BUILDING:
PRAIRZE DECLARED THE
Mr. Qureshi stated that at the meeting, the HRA members had received a copy
of a letter from John Low, Thorpe Bros. Inc. Realtors, regarding a Listing
Agreement on the Vacant Hardware 8uilding. He stated three months ago the
HRA authorized City Administration to enter into a leasing arrangement with
the same party for the buildings north of City Hall. Fortunately, during
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING MAY 10 1984 PAGE 2
the same time frame, they were able to attract Target to build on this
property so the whole question became mute.
Mr. �ureshi stated they were negotiating with a couple of parties for
possible lease of the hardware bui7ding. Both of those ieases did not go
through. Also, with the recent development of Target north of City Hall,
the Holly Shopping Center has been sold to an investment group, and it was
his understanding that it was the investment group's desire to upgrade the
Center, The Rice Creek Center has alsa been almost fully leased, so there
seems to be a sizeab]e amouni of activity in this area.
Mr, Qureshi stated Thorpe Bros. Inc., Realtors is the leasing agent for
Dr, Suh's center, and Mr, Low indicated that whole center was now fu17.
Mr, Qureshi stated that, because they do not want to give a long term lease
on the hardware building, it is very difficult to lease the space. If the
HRA feels they should be leasing the space, Staff would recomnend the HRA
give that responsibility to Thorpe 6ros. because they seem to be very active
in this area and have a fairly good track record in this area. They are
asking a fairly minimal fee of 6% of each year's gross lease.
Mr, Qureshi stated he mentioned to the realtor that the HRA would probably
lease the building for $2-3/sq, ft. for 2 years maximum with one year addi-
tional option and if there were any leasehold improvements, the HRA would
buy out a proportionate share of those leasehold improvements.
Ms. Svendsen asked if any kind of ceiling would be put on the improvements,
Mr. Qureshi stated that, realistically, when anyone sees that the maximum
lease is 3 years, they are not going to put a lot of money into the building.
Mr. Qureshi stated that this time, they will make sure they have a solid
type of lease and check on the business that leases the building so they do
not have a repeat of the problems with the iast lease. If there is a valid
offer for a lease, they wi71 bring that information back to the HRA for
approval before signing the lease.
MOTION BY MR. RASMUSSEN, SECONDED BY MS, St�ENDSEN, TO AUTHORZZE STAFF TO
ENTER INTO A LISTING AGREEMENT ON THE VACIWT NARDWARE BUZLDING WITH THORPE
BROS. INC. REALTORS.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTTNG AYE� ACTING CNRZItPERSON PRAZRIE DECLZiRED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. UPDATE ON PROGRE55 REGARDING TARGET DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF CITY HALL:
Mr. Qureshi stated that at the last �eting, the HRA authorized the execu-
tion of a contract for private redevelopment with Target. Target has signed
those documents, He stated the City has given notice to a17 the tenants to
move out, and it 7ooks like everyone should be out by May 30. The only
question is with the renter of the house, 7hey have qualified her for Section
8 housing and have provided her with three options of places she can move to.
NOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETIN6 M0.Y 10 1984 PAGE 3
Mr. Qureshi stated they have let the contract the HRA authorized the City
Council to award. 7he City Council awarded those contracts at their last
meeting, so they hope to move in in June and start demolishing the structures.
Mr: qureshi stated Target plans to move in the middle of June and start
development on the property just south of the Madsen building.
Mr. Qureshi stated that at the last HRA meeting, the HRA authorized the City
to hire the architect, and they have been working on the prelimi�ary plans.
It is their hope tfiat by June 8, they will be receiving the bids on it and
coming back to the HRA at their June meeting for review and approval.
Mr. Qureshi stated they have supplied the title information from Chicago
Target to the City attorney's office and, hopefully, they will be working
with the,parties to make sure the title is clear so the title can be trans-
ferred quickly.
Mr, Qureshi stated they are also processing the plat of the area, the hearing
is set for Planning Comnission, and it should go to the City Council in mid-
June.
(Mr. Commers arrived at 7:28 p.m,)
3. PU6LIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED SALE. LEASE OR OTHER DI5P05ITION OF PROPERTY
MOTION BY MR. PRAIRIE� SECONDED BY MS. $VENDSEN� TO OPEN THE PUBLSC HEARING
ON THE pROPOSED SALE� LEASE OR OTHER DZSPOSITION OF PROPERTY LOCATED Il7
UNZVERSZ2Y INDUSTRIRL PARK WITHIN REDEVELOPMENT pROJECT RRER NO. 1.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHRIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE Pl1BLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 7:39 P.M.
Mr, Qureshi stated that at the last meeting, Mr. Paschke requested some
assistance from the HRA for certain property he wanted to develop that was
not feasible to develop under the present conditions of soil and drainage
problems. If it is the HRA's desire to give him some assistance, the route
chosen by the HRA is to buy the properties and write down the cost and sell
it at a cost, so the developer can economically develop the property. When
there is any public property that the HRA wishes to resell, the HRA is
required to hold a public hearing. That is the process they are going through
at this meeting. The public hearir.g is for the possible sale of Lots 3, 5,
and 6, Block 4, University Industrial Park.
Mr. Qureshi stated the HRA members had a copy of an agreement executed by
Mr. Paschke. The agreement provides that Mr. Paschke will build minimum
improvements on Lots 3, 5, and 6. On Lot 3, he will build a minimum 15,000
sq, ft, office warehouse building with a value of $450,000. On Lot 5, he
will build a minimum 30,000 sq. ft. building with a value of $750,000. Lot 6
will be a ponding area for most of University Industrial Park. The developer
HOUSING & REDEVE�OPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING MAY 10 1984 PA6E 4

will develop the ponding area, do all the piping and draining and will give
an easement to the City for ponding. The City wi17 be responsible for
structural maintenance of the pond and structures. Mr. Paschke will still
maintain and upkeep Lot 6 and mow the grass.
Mr. Canmers asked if this agreement had been reviewed by the City Attorney.
Mr. Qureshi stated Mr. Herrick has reviewed the agreement, and the modifi-
cations on page 4-3 (Section 4.5, Convenants Respecting the Holding Pond and
Lot 6) were discussed and worked out by Mr, Herrick.
Mr. Commers asked about the numbers that go with this transaction.
Mr. Qureshi stated it basically provides that on Lot 3, once the Certificate
of Compiiance is issued, the developer will be paid $10,000 for the write-
down, When the building on Lot 5 is completed along with the ponding and
drainage on Lot 6, and when the Certificate of Canpliance is issued, the
write-down will be $43,000.
Mr. Commers asked about the tax generation on the two parcels.
Mr. Qureshi stated on the 15,000 sq. ft. building, when full tax comes on line,
the estirnate is $17,D00 a year, On the 30,000 sq. ft, building, the
estimate is $32,000 a year, but there is existing values so the net tax
would be $29,800.

5. APPROVAL OF ASS
Mr. Qureshi stated that in the development agreement with Target, there is
a provision that Target is supposed to pay $15,000 per year for leasing the
property for the parking lot. In the negotiations, they had discussed the
money that would be set aside for the lease of the parking lot. The tool
suggested at that time was that Target buy a certificate that would generate
enough interest to pay for the lease. Some further negotiations have taken
place, and what is proposed is that Target would set aside $130,000 and that
generate enough interest to pay for the lease agreement. If this instrument
was bought today it should provide interest of $16>580 �er year. This instru-
ment would be assigned to the HRA, and target would be released from the lease
payments. This is going to be an advantage to the HRA because they will have
the interest plus the principle for 30 years.
Mr. Qureshi stated the purpose for this arrangement is to avoid any possible
default on the part of Target on the lease payment. They are assured they
have the building with the property underneath and the 7ease payment assured
for 30 years.

1. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
a. hbore Lake Beach
Dr. Boudreau stated Moore Lake Beach wi71 open on Tues., June 5.
Dr. Boudreau stated that eventually something will have to be done
with the beach house on Moore Lake, if they are going to maintain it,
PARKS & RECREAT_ION COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 14, 1984 PAGE 2
because it is settling and may soon become unsafe. He stated they are
looking at the optioh of tearing it down. He really did not think the
building was used that much, especially as a changing area.
� Mr, Young stated that. looking from another standpoint, it was important
to have a building for a shelter in case of severe weather. A lot of
children walk or bike to the beach, and they would have nowhere to go
in case of severe weather. Bathroom faci7ities were also needed,
Ms. Schreiner stated she really questioned how long the lake will even
be used for sw9mning. Also. is it really necessary to continue to have
a guarded beach?
Mr. Kondrick agreed, He stated it was hard for him to justify putting
any large amount of money into a new beach house.
Dr. Boudreau stated Staff was kind of heading in the direction that if
the beach house is not replaced, maybe they do not even need a guarded
beach. He stated some work is going to be done on the lake next fall,
and they can wait to see how that canes out.
b, Sumner Program
Dr. Boudreau stated the sumner brochures have been mailed out. He stated
he felt it had been nicely done. He would encourage the Commission
r�mbers to participate or at least stop by and see sane of the things
that are going on.
c. 49'ers Days
Dr, Boudreau stated 49'ers Days will be June 13-17. Again, the Park;
Recreation, and Natural Resource Department wi11 be invoived in some
of the programning.
d, 1985 Budget
Dr. Boudreau stated that if the Commission members had any ideas for
capitai outlay items for the 1985 budget, he would like them to submit
those ideas by June 15,
Ms. Schreiner suggested that some monies be set aside for the new park
for the Blomberg/Brickner 8evelopment.
2. NEW BllSINESS:
a. Facility Fees
�r. Boudreau stated they now have a fee for softball tournaments, and
Staff would like to recommend the Corrmisston approve a$50 per hour
fee for use of soccer and football fields at the new comnunity park.
PARKS & RECREATION CONMISSION MEETING MAY 14 1984 PAGE 3
This would be for groups such as Woodcrest Baptist Church who want to
use the park faci7ities for soccer and football qames.
_ Dr. Boudreau stated he talked to the City Attorney, and the City
Attorney said the City has to treat the private schools just like any
other group in the City. The public facilities are open to everyone.
Dr. Boudreau stated it costs the maintenance people more money to pre-
pare the soccer area than it does the softball areas. If an organiza-
tion or group wants to come in and run a tournament and use the facility
for soccer and/or football, the fee would be $54 per hour per field,
If the lights are used, the fee would be $65 per hour, He stated a
soccer game will take about 1, hours, so the fee would be $75 per game
per field without the lights.
Mr. Kondrick stated he thought the cost was pretty high, considering
the number of people on a team.
Mr. Dahlberg stated it is quite costly just to paint the fields for
soccer,
MOTION BY MR. YOUNG� SECONDED BY MR. NEISON� TO APPROVE STAFF`S RECDMMENDA-
TION TO CHRRGE A FEE OF S50 PER HOUR PER FIELD (S65 PER HOUR PER FZELD
WHEN LIGHTS ARE USED) FOR USE OF THE SOCCER/FOOTBALL FIELAS AT THE NEW
COMMUNITY PARIC.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYB� CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMW5LY,
b. Softball Tournament Request
Mr. Kirk stated they have received another softball tournament request
from "Dare to Care", a Fridley-based non-profit organization that puts
on concerts and other fundraising events to raise money to give to other
non-profit organizations. He stated that based on their previous policy,
they have one weekend available and that is the weekend of Aug. 24-25-26.
He stated he called Mr. Stan Noggle, the person in charge of this
organization,to tell them this was the only weekend available, and they
are very interested in running a tournament that weekend.
MOTION BY MR, YOUNG, SECONDED BY MS, SCHREINER� TD GIYE TENTRTIVE

sentative to come to the next Commission meeting to answer questions
and tell about this organization.

b. Park, Recreation and Natural Resources Staff
Dr. Boudreau stated al] the Staff inembers were at the Commission
meeting to share with the Commission sane of the things that are
happening in their various areas of responsibility and to give the
Comnission members an opportunity to ask questions of the staff inembers.
Mr. St, Clair stated that progra�mning-wise, they are very busy at this
time of year.. They have groups in the nature center bui7din9 almost
all day every day and usually one evening a week. They have at least
1-2 programs every Saturday which will continue all sumner. There
isn't much programming on Sunday. A staff person is at the Center
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MAY 14 1984 PAGE 5
and does an activity or demonstration in tfie exhibit room for the
visitors walking through which is designed to get people involved
and more relaxed about asking questions and talking to the naturalist.
� Mr, St. Clair stated tfiey will be starting their day camp on June 11.
Several sessions are filled.
Mr. St. Clair stated last year was their biggest year for pro ramming,
and so far this year, each month (with the exception of April� has had
considerably more programning than 7ast year.
Ms. Schreiner asked how the situation is handled when a group, such as
a day care group,comes in for a program which takes away from the
Naturalist's time but yet there is no policy or fee structure ta address
this situation.
Mr. St. Clair stated that at this time. they are not charging fees to
any group. If a Fridley group calls and wants a program, either at
their site (such as a school classroom) or at the Nature Center� they
schedute that program, However, if an out-of-town group, such as
Columbia Heights or Coon Rapids, ca11s and wants a program, if Staff
has available time, they will do the program for that group at the
Nature Center. Staff will not go to the group's site to do the program.
Mr. St. Clair they do have classes they charge fees for such as
parents with pre-schoo7 children, the day camp in the suttmer, and other
similar programs.
Mr. St. Clair stated the programs open to the public on weekends have
been very well attended this year. They average around 40 people or
more almost every weekend for one of these programs.
Mr, St. Clair stated a lot is gaing to be happening at the Nature
Center this sumner. The handicapped trail is going to be paved and
finished. The trail will be a little under 1/3 mile.
Mr. St, C1air stated that the next Thursday, a Se71 Telephone Community
Action group will be caning out to build a small ampitheater right out-
side the front door area. It will seat about 30-40 children. It is
sanething that is really needed.
Mr. St. C1air stated there are a lot of Eagle Scout programs going on
with them improving trails. They are gaing to approach the Jaycees
about constructing another observation overlook. When that is completed,
they will have almost all the locations of the trails finished. When
they get the funds to do it, they wil] be expanding the trail into the
�ew property on the other side of the ditch in the very southwestern
corner of the park,
PARKS & RECREATION COFMISSION MEETING, MAY 14, 1984 PAGE 6
Mr. St, Clair stated that regarding the drainage problems. they are
working with the Engineering Dept., and they are dealing with the
other municipalities north of Fridley in the Watershed. Coon Rapids
is looking at developing an industrial park as soon as possible.
•Coon Rapids does not want to use up the land for run-off and would
like to use the Nature Center, so the Fridley Engineering Dept, wi11
be working with them on this.
(Ms. Schreiner left the meeting at 8:55 p.m.)
Mr. Dahlberg stated this is probably their busiest time of year and
also the time of the year when they have the least amount of staff.
In a few weeks, there will be additional part-time people on staff.
Mr. Kondrick asked what kinds of complaints Mr, Dahlberg receives
most often.
Mr. Dahlberq stated the biggest probe7m is vandalism. When it is play-
ground equipment, it might take a week or more to get the parts to
repair the equipment. When the equipment is down for a couple of weeks,
that is when they get some complaints. Other complaints are dandelions,
weed complaints, and field conditions usually right after 2-3 heavy
rains.
Dr. Boudreau stated the park maintenance staff consists of six full-
time people supplemented by part-time help who wiil start within the
pext two weeks. Basicaliy, these six people are taking care of the
park acreage, park equipment,ba77 diamonds, softball complex, football
fields. soccer areas, and ice maintenar,ce, and he felt they were doing
an excellent job,
Mr. Nelson stated he has worked under Mr. Dahlberg for about seven
years, He stated they do a great job with the manpower they have.
Things run very smoothly, and complaints are very minimal.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he will be attending an equipment show on June 13
in Anoka. The show is for golf course superintendents, park super-
visors, ice arena managers, turf associations, etc. This is where all
the new equipment is shown and where they get new ideas.
Ms. Thompson stated now that the drop-in center is available through
the Comnuntty Education Center, she felt a lot more seniors were more
satisfied. She stated she works very closely with the drop-in center
and congregate dining program and coordinates almost all their activities
with them. Most of the programs are run at the Comnunity Education
Center. The three staff inembers meet on a regular basis to talk about
the programs that are being run at the Community Education Center, so
there is more of a cooperative effort than there was in the past. They
are able to ascertain the needs of the seniors better and try to meet
those needs.
PARKS &��ECREATION COhMI5SI0N MEETING MAY 14 1984 PAGE 7
Mr. Young asked how much of Ms. Thompson's time was spent working with
the seniors.
,Ms. Thompson stated about 1/3-1/2 of her time is spent with the seniors.
It depends on the time of the year. She spends a lot of time with the
seniors during the school year, and during the sumner, almost all her
time is spent with the playground programs.
Ms. Thompson stated they have approximately 600 seniors on the mailing
list. They probably get about 10 people a month who might have been
dropped from the mailing list at some time who want to be put back on
the list or are just finding out about the program,
Ms. Thompson stated most of their trips have been filling up. The golf
league started that day. Three years ago when they started the league,
there were 20 people; that morning there were 58. Another popular
program is the hiking club,
Ms. Thompson stated that as far as playgrounds, last year they had
75-80% returning staff, but this year about 50� are returning which
is average.
Ms. Thompson stated that because of the Rice Creek School situation,
they had to make some decisions on where they would locate that play-
ground program. They decided to relocate it at Benjamin/Briardale,
because Harris Lake is located on Mississippi St, which is a busy street
and they were concerned about being on tfie lake with small children.
Mr. Young asked Mr. St. Clair how many were on staff at the Nature Center,
Mr, St. Clair stated he and Ms. Valen are full-time naturalists at
the Nature Center. They have a part-time person, Kent Jones, and a
work study person from the high school who works in the afternoon as a
secretary, He has a part-time maintenance person who works in the
building, and they will hire three people to help with the programming
for the summer,
Mr. St. Clair stated their volunteer program is going very well. They
have expanded it to include a trail patrol so someone will be covering
the trails every day of the week. This will help prevent vandalism,
and if something happens, it can be fixed or cleaned up right away.
Ne stated they have volunteers covering the building almost every morning
so 5taff can be out of the building. There is a volunteer receptionist
on the weekend and volunteers taking care of the animals.
Mr. Kondrick asked Ms. Valen what her average class size was,
Ms. Valen stated she usually likes to work with a ratio of 1- 15.
They do have a situation this week where two classes are coming at
once (60 chi7dren). In this situation. they try to cooperate with
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MAY 14 1984 PAGE 8
the teacher and have the teacher do an activity with the class.
She stated they can do a program for 60 children, but that 9s an
auditorium-type program. It is very hard to take 60 children down
the trail and have them involved with activities.
Mr. Young stated he really appreciated Staff taking time out of their
busy schedu7es to meet with the Cortmission and share this information
with the Cortmission.
Mr. Kondrick agreed.

1. CON7INUED: WORK PLAN DISCUSSION
Mr. Robinson stated the Comnission members had copies of the 1984 work plan
as discussed and revised at the last meeting.
The Commission members made a few changes to the work plan and approved the
work plan for submittal to the City Council through the Planning Commission.
2. CONSIDERATION OF RECYCLING AND COMPOSTING SURVEYS:
Mr. Robinson stated that at the last meeting, the Commission members had
received copies of two recycling and composting surveys--one that was con-
ducted for the City of Seattle in Sept. 1980 and one conducted for the
Metropolitan Council, St. Paul, in Oct. 1980.
Mr. Robinson stated the first major conclusion in the St. Paul survey was
that "If curbside pick-up is offered, either for free or at a small monthly
savings, over 90% of area residents say they would participate".
Mr. Robinson stated the Minneapolis program, and most recently, the St. Louis
Park program, have been successful.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 15, 1984 _ PAGE 2
Mr. Svanda stated one advantage the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Louis Park
have over Fridiey is they both have municipal hauling contracts with
haulers. Most of the successes he has heard of for recycling� source
separation. and composting programs have been in a captive audience situation
xhere the city has a contract with one or more haulers.
Mr. Robinson stated he would iike to learn more about the Minneapolis and/or
St. Louis Park curbside pick-up programs. Perhaps we should invite someone
from the Minneauolis program to come to our EQC meeting to explain the
proqram.
Mr. Svanda stated that about 1-1� years ago, the Cortmission had invited
Dan Krivit, Metropolitan Counci7 environmental planner� who was at that time
in charge of getting the Minneapolis curbside pick-up program started, to
talk to the Comnission,
Mr. Svanda stated Staff could see if saneone from the City of Minneapolis
or St. Louis Park would be willing to come and talk to the Cortmission about
their programs. One question that could be asked was: How would a curbside
recycling program like theirs work in a free enterprise system like they
have in Fridleyt He stated that if they do get saneone to come to a
Commission meeting, they should also invite Connie Metcalf, as SORT has done
a couple of test curbside recycling projects, and her input would be
important.
Mr, Robinson stated he felt the neighborhoods would play an important part
in getting a curbside recycling program going. Someone would have to be
responsible for reminding people about recycling.
Mr, Robinson stated another interesting item in the survey was that
"Convenience of tocation is an important factor to consumers in deciding
whether to participaLe in a recycling program...Two-thirds say they would
participate if the center was located in their neighborhood at a place
they normally shop...However, if the Center is separate, not at a neighbor-
hood shopping center, most people {79%) would not participate".
The Commission mombers
and/or gt, Louis Park
recycling programs.
agreed to invite saneone from the City of Minneapo]is
to the next Commission meeting to talk about
Mr. Svanda stated the Comnission members should review both surveys before
the next meeting.
Mr, Svanda asked Staff to pursue the possibility of a canposting site by
the City Garage/SORT Recycling Center,
Mr. Svanda stated one recycling program that has been successful in the
City of Fridley is the oil recycling program, He asked Staff to get an
updated report from the Public Works Dept. on the oil recycling program.

There were many things recommended in the audits for energy conservation.
Ne stated the City Council did take action on several items, but not all of
them.
Mr. Thompson asked if it would be beneficial for the Commission to re-review
the maxi-audit for durthe'r�possible energy cons.ervation recommendation to
the City Council,
Mr. Saba stated that was a good idea and that could 6e included in the work
plan as an action item under Goal �il: To set an energy Conservation example
for the citizens of Fridley through management of City energy consumption.

t e coi�nstruction of a detached garage, 24 ft. by 32 ft., in CRP-2 zoning

UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAZRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Robinson stated the property is located on the south side of Ely Street in
the Riverview Heights area. The petitioner is proposing to build an accessory
building (a garage) in the rear yard. The foundation is in at the present
time. The setbacks are adequate and do meet code. The special use permit
is required because this accessory building will be in the flood fringe.
Staff would recommend the following stipulations if this request is approved:
1. Need to waterproof to required elevation of 825.25 ft. This
may consist of two additional courses of block or the use of
water resistant wood.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 6 1984 PAGE 2
2. Structure shou7d be securely anchored with anchor bolts.
3. Driveway to garage should be paved with concrete or asphalt
materia7.
4. Garage to be completed by Sept. 1, 1984.
5. Petitioner will eliminate the continuing outdoor storage and
curbside parking problems.
Mr. Minton asked why ihe stipu7ation that the garage be comp7eted by
Sept. 1, 1984.
Mr. Robinson stated Staff felt that because of the nature of the problem
they are trying to correct here, the garage should be completed im�ediately.
Staff felt a date of Sept, 1 was ample time for completion by the petitioner.
Ms. Schnabel asked the petitioner, Mary Erickson, if she had any cor�nents to
make.
Ms. Erickson stated she was concerned about cost, and she was assuming the
two additional courses of block would be sufficient. She stated they do
intend to have the garage built imnediately, so she did not see the need for
a completion date of Sept. 1, 1984 as a stipulation of the specia7 use
permit. She stated there was no problem with paving the driveway as almost
all of it was concreted at this time.
Ms. Schna6el stated that regarding the outside storage and parking problems
that currently exist, would this garage eliminate those problems?
Ms. Erickson stated the garage would be used for storage and this would
eliminate the problems.

Ms. Gabel stated she thought this construction was an excellent idea, and it
may be a way of solving a problem that has been going on for a long time.

Southerly 84 feet of Lot 8 H, Second Revise P,u itor's Su�division No. 21,
to make a new building site at 953 Mississippi Street N.E. (Other lot will
be changed to 6530 Oakley Drive N.E.
M.OTION BY MR. KONDRICK� 5ECONDED BY M5. GABEL, TO REMO[/E LS N84-OS FROM
THE TABLE,
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CHRIRWOMAN 5CHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Robinson stated they still need the owner's signature on the lot sp7it
request, and the owner, Ron Miller, was in the audience.
Mr. Robinson stated the property ir question was located on Mississippi St.
west of Oakley Drive. It was a corner lot. Previous7y, the northerly 81 ft.
had been split off, and at this time the petitioner was asking that the
southerly 84 ft. be split off, This lot is presently built on and the
house faces Mississippi St.
Mr. Robinson stated one of the problems expressed by the ^lanning Comnission
at their last meeting was the variance situation. He stated three variances
are scheduled to go to the Appeals Commission on June 12. The lot split will
create a new front yard for the existing house. Presently, in the frort yard
there is an accessory garage building that would need a variance. Another
variance would be that tFie front yard be �5 �t. versus 35 ft „ and a variance
that the rear yard be 21 ft, versus 27 ft.
Mr, Robinson siated the proposed house on the new lot would front Oakley Dr,
Mississippi St. then became the side yard, and 17.5 ft. would be the required
setback. However, Staff was suggested that 3� ft. be provided. The adjacent
house �as a front yard setback from Mississippi of 110 ft. There are similar
setbacks as they proceed westward to Jackson St. After Jackson St., the
houses are closer to Mississippi. He stated the side of the proposed house
would be on Mississippi and would not be consistent with the neighborhood.
He stated Staff would recommend the following stipulations if the lot split
request is approved:
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6 1984 PAGE 4
1. Approval of variances created by lot split (scheduled for
Appeals Commission on June 12)
2. Existing structure (now facing Mississippi) have new address on
Oakley Dr, after lot sp7it
3. Signed park fee agreement for one lot of $750
4. L;t split to be registered with County p�ior to issuance of a building
permit. October 15, 1984 is deadline to split 1985 taxes.
5. Existing garage (accessory buiiding in front yard) to be relocated
to side yard if it is to be replaced or substantially improved
(at 50q of garage replacement cost)
6. Owner to sign lot split and variance requests
Ms. Gabel stated she felt this was aiT inconsistent with the neighborhood.
She could not remember any instance where a variance was granted so a garage
could be put in front of a house. She stated the garage in front of the
existing house was the biggest problem she had with this lot split, and she
was not sure what could be done to alleviate that problem.
Mr. Kondrick stated the house and garage are already there, and that will
not change, The people who build the new house are going to see the same
thing. Ne stated he did riot tiave.a problem with this request since the situa-
tion is an existing situation.
Mr. Saba stated he agreed with Mr. Kondrick, but he could also understand
Ms. Gabel's point of view.of what this was doing to the neighborhood in
general. All of a sudden they are allowing a qarage to be in a front yard,
and the City would be setting a precedent.
Ms. Gabel stated she also felt they put some burden of proof back on the
City if they grant this kind of a lot split, because this lot split does
require variances, and this was not a variance she had ever seen before. It
was not the kind of variance that comes because of the "lay of the land".
Mr. Kondrick stated he would agree if they were ta7king about new construction.
He stated he would consider the new proposed house more of a visual problem
than the probTem of the garage in front of the existing house.
Ms. Gabel stated she thought the intitial problem started with the garage
in front of the existing house, but then it was compounded by putting a new
house on the corner of Mississippi and Oakley Dr. when the setbacks are as
far back as they are in that area,
Ms. Schnabel stated Ms. Gabel had a valid point in that the variances would
not be necessary if the Planning Commission does not grant the lot sp7it
request. The City, in effect, is creating the variances that become necessary
to be appeaied. The variances are not something the petitioner is creating,
but the City is creating them if it approves the lot split.
Ms. Schnabe7 asked the petitioner or the owner of the property if they had
any comments to make.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6 1984 PAGE 5
Mr. Hitchcock stated he could see a problem if they were proposing to con-
struct an auxiliary building in the front yard--something the neighborhood
would be upset about. He was not sure what Ms. Gabel was objecting to.
Ms. Gabel stated she was clear7y concerned about the garage in the front
yard. She felt it was inconsistent with the Cornprehensive Plan and the total
plannir�g for the City. The visual impact is that people cannot see the house
from the street, only the garage. She stated her other concern was that the
P7anning Commission's granting of the lot sp7it was what was creating the
variances. If the Planning Commission does not grant the lot split, there is
no need for the variances. What is the position of the Appeals Corrmission
in denying the variances when the Ciiy has granted the loi split? She
stated she was very uncomfortable about granting the front yard variance for
a garage in the front yard.
Mr. Hitchcock asked if Ms. Gabel would be more willing to look at this if he
moved the garage to the side of the house.
Ms. Gabel stated, yes, she would be more willing to take a look at this if
the garage was moved to the side of the house.
Mr. Hitchcock stated he was not convinced that moving the garage was going
to improve the looks of the property, but he would do whatever was necessary.
Mr. Robinson stated that if the garage was moved, there would be quite a
difference between the proposed house and the existing house. The petitioner
might want to consider moving the proposed house back 5 ft, to make it more
consistent with the existing house and the new house to the north on Oakley.
Ms. Schnabel stated she was very reluctant to grant the lot split. She
honestly had a hard time visualizing a house going in on the corner of
Mississippi and Oakley in front of all the rest of the homes in that two block
area. She felt it would dramatically change the nature of the street. It
was really inconsistent with the neighborhood.
Mr. Hitchcock stated that considering the fact that they are in conformance
with the homes on Oakley Dr., could the Plannin9 Comnission impose something
that was stronger than the code?
Ms. Schnabel stated the Planning Commission can only make recommendations
to the City Council, Then all the legalities have to be handled by the City
Councii who has Tegai counsel. 7he Planning Commission does not have that
legal counsel. The P?anning Comnission can only go by what the Zoning Code
says which does not give them legal expertise.
Mr. Hitchcock stated that because of the demand for Tand being what it is,
he believed that at some future time it was likely that this same kind of
lot split would be proposed for the other side of the street on Oakley,
If Fridley wants new construction, it is going to have to work with these
types of things.
PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 6 1984 PAGE 6
Ms. Schnabel stated they did not know what was going to happen in the future.
She agreed land was not easy to come by, but she still felt the Planning
Comnission had an obligation to preserve the neighborhoods.
Mr. Kondrick stated that because of the trees on the lot, he did not find
this as objectionable as he would if it was up about two blocks, He stated
he did feel this was the best use for the property as opposed to having
nothing there. He would be in favor of the lot sp?it, even though it was
going to create some problems for the Appeals Corrmission. However, he would
be in favor of a stipulation tfiat the garage be moved to the side of the
existing house.
Mr. Saba stated he agreed with Mr. Kondrick, He stated this is a very unique
area, and there is not a lot of conformance in that whole area. His main
concern was the garage in front of the existing house. He would be in favor
of the 7ot split with the stipulation that the garage be moved to the side
of the existing house.
Ms. Gabel stated they will be creating a"monster" if this lot split is
granted and it theri goes on to the Appeals Comnission.

3. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L S. #84-07, BY BRANDON CONSTRUCTIQN COMPANY: Split
ot , B oc 4, City View, in half and a one alf to ot 4 and one half to
Lot 6, to make two residential sites, the same being 411 ana 415 57th Place
N,E.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 1984 PAGE 7
Mr. Robinson stated there are three existing lots on 57th Place, located
just east of TH �47. The petitioner is requesting that the middle lot, Lot 5,
be sp)it in two, and that 20 feet be tiven to each of the adjoining lots to
make two 60 ft. residential lots. The lots are each 40 feet by 140 ft. Total
square footage of the three lots right now was 16,860, yielding two lots each
at 8,430 sq. ft. Since this plat was recorded in 1887, the Code states that
50 foot widths or greater and 7,500 sq. ft. or greater, are allowed, so even
though the proposed lots would not be up to today's code, they are acceptable
because the are was platted prior to December, 1955.
Mr. Robinson stated there are several 60 ft. lots in the area, so this would
be in scale with the neighborhood and would meet all setback requirements.
Mr.Robinson stated Staff would recorrmend the following stipulations:
1. Signed park fee agreement for one lot of $750

PLANNING COl�IISSION MEETING JUNE 6 1984 PAGE 7
Mr. Robinson stated there are three existing lots on 57th Place, located
just east of TH #47. The petitioner is requesting that the middle lot, Lot 5,
be split in two, and that 20 feet be tiven to each of the adjoining lots to
make two 60 ft. residential lots. The lots are each 40 feet by 140 ft. Total
square footage of the three lots right now was 16,860, yielding two lots each
at 8,430 sq. ft. Since this plat was recorded in 1887, the Code states that
50 foot widths or greater and 7,500 sq. ft. or greater, are allowed, so even
though the proposed lots would not be up to today's code, they are acceptable
because the are was platted prior to December, 1955.
Mr. Robinson stated there are several 60 ft. lots in e area, so is wou
be in scale with the neighborhood and would meet all setback requirements.
Mr.Robinson stated Staff would recommend the following stipulations:
1. Signed park fee agreement for one lot of $75�
2. Houses to face 57th Place (as others on double frontage block)
3. Lot split to be registered with the Count�Y orior to issuance of a
building permit. October 15, 1984 is deadling to s�lit 19�5 taxes.

ADMINISTRATIYE STAfF REPORT
1682 Osborne Road N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERUED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.07.3D.2c.2 requires an accessory building on a corner
lot, within 25 feet of the comnon property line, to be set back a
minimum of 30 feet from the side street Property line.
�
APPEALS COMMISSION �4EETIN6 MAY 29 1984 PAGE 2
Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street
parking without encroaching on the public right of way and also the
aesthetic consideration of the adjoining neighbor to the rear who has
frontage along the side street, to reduce the building "line of sight"
encruachment into the neighbor's froni yard.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"If the garage is built at the required setbacks, it would be positioned
right in tfie middle of the back yard and also with the doors being
positioned on the north side of the building, entry would be extremely
difficult."
C, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The purpose in the setback requirement is to avoid placing a structure
in the adjoining property's front yard and obstructing their view. In
this case there is a rather large evergreen tree already obstructing
the line of sight for the neighbor, therefore, if the Board approves
this request, the only recommendation we have is that the overhead door
to the garage be placed in the north wall as shown on the plan.
t9r, Clark stated he had no additional comments. He stated the plot plan shown
in the agenda showed where the garage would be positioned.
The petitioner, Duane Weisen, stated if the garage had to be placed according to
tlie setback requirements, it would be in the middle of his back yard and he would
have very little back yard left over. He stated he did want to place the garage
door to the north so he could have privacy from the road (Stinson Blvd.), and he
would have room to park vehic7es in the driveway, rather than on the street.
Mr. Weisen stated the reason he needed the new larger garage was because his
present garage is very small. He stated he has a truck and a van and neither one
of them fit in the present garage. He stated he will remove the large overhead
door from the present garage. His plans are to eventually turn the present garage
into a family room.
Mr. Weisen stated he has talked to his two neighbors to the south and the
neighbor to the west. They expressed no objection to the construction of this
garage.

WITH THE STIPULATION THAT TXE OVERXEAD GARAGE LbOR BE PLACED ZN THE NORTX

Mr. Plemel stated that since there appeared to be no neighborhood objection
to this request, he had no problem with granting the variance.
Ms. Gabel stated she could see no problem with the granting of the variance.
She could understand that if the petitioner cannot use his present garage,
it was logical for him to want to be able to store his vehicles inside.
5he stated she felt Mr. Weisen really did have a hardship, and this request
seemed reasonable.
Mr, Betzold agreed. He stated corner lots are always troublesane in trying
to make everything fit within the codes, especially when the lot is in the
corner of the whole city.

Chairperson Gabel read the Administrative Staff Report:
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
420 - 67th Avenue N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURP05E SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.07.3D.2a requires a minimum setback of 10 feet 6etween any
livinq area and side property lines.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a minimum of
20 feet between living areas in adjacent structures and 15 feet between
garages and livinq areas in adjacent structures to reduce exposure to
conflagration of fire. It is also to allow fcr aesthetically pleasing
open areas around residential structures.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING MAY 29 7984 PAf,E 4
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Family size warrants more living area."
C, ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The garage to the east is approximately 9 feet from the common lot line
which results in a 16 foot distance between the structures, Therefore,
no fire wall will be required if the 6oard approves this request.
Mr, Clark stated the petitioner really had a two-fold hardship. One, of course,
was the family size, and the other was the fact that he presently has a single
car garage and has enough personal property to need a larger garage. The present
garage cannot be enlarged because it is already about 7 ft, from the lot line.
Mr. Bestram is going to bui7d a 36 ft. x 26 ft, garage in the rear yard and then
convert the existing garage into living area. The conversion of the existing
garage is what caused the variance.
Mr. Plemel asked where the driveway would be from the street to the proposed
garage.
Mr. C7ark stated there is 70 ft. between the house and the westerly property
line. Mr, Bestram has talked to the neighbor to the west who is willing to give
permission to reduce the driveway setback from the side lot line from 3 ft, to
0 ft. He stated the plan showed the position of the prcposed garage in the rear
yard. There wi)1 be enough room in the back yard to turn the vehicles around
to drive out forward to the street.
The petitioner, Martin Bestram, stated his neighbor to the west, Wayne Kwatera,
410 - 67th Ave. N,E., had written a letter stating he agreed to extend the
driveway to the lot line.

CARRIED UNANZMOUSLY.
Mr. Bestram stated he will remove the driveway and the overhead garage door
to the existing garage. He stated he will be putting in a decorative brick
driveway to the proposed garage.
Mr. Betzold asked Mr. Bestram to explain his hardship.
Mr. Bestram stated he still has two college age chi]dren living at home. There
are four cars in the family. He stated he has a small basement, and there is
a real need for more garage space and more living space.

UPON R VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CAAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AS 7:55 P.M.
Mr. Plemel stated he could understand the reasons for this request and since
there was no neighborhood objection, he would be in favor of granting the
varia�ce.
Ms. Gerou agreed. She stated remodeling was more affordable than moving.
Ms. Gabel stated she understood the plight of the single car c�arage. She felt
it was a valid hardship, especially when four cars have to be moved around.
The neighbors are not objecting, and the one neighbor is willing to go more
ttian out of his way to facilitate this and help make it happen. She had no
Qro6lem with approving the variance.
Mr. Betzold stated he, too, had no problem with granting the variance.
