Mr. Hickok stated the special use permit request is to construct
a second accessory building greater than 240 square feet. The
property is a double fronted lot and fronts 57th Place. The
� driveway access and existing garage are on 57 1/2 Avenue. This
request would provide a second accessory building on this site.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AIIGIIST 21. 1996 PAGE 2
There is a simultaneous and separate request for a variance to
reduce the setback from 35 feet to 22 feet.
Mr. Hickok stated staff has evaluated the surrounding area which
is R-1, Single Family Residential. The area is developed with
existing garages along 57th Place. There are also garages to the
north which are set in a similar fashion, but in most cases they
are one large consolidated garage. We do not have a condition
with a second accessory building in this neighborhood.
Mr. Hickok stated the special use permit process is used to
evaluate the suitability of certain uses for an area. In
evaluating this site for a second accessory building, staff
determined that the existence of buildings along the street at
the area proposed has a cluttered feel. Staff believes the
impact to this site and surrounding sites by granting the special
use permit would be detrimental. As an alternative, staff
recommends a consolidation of the accessory buildings into one
larger garage. Staff has talked to the�petitioner about the
potential of adding a second stall onto the existing garage or
building a consolidated garage at the proper setback. The
petitioner's first response to that was,.because of asbestos,
they did not want to disturb the first garage..
Mr. Hickok stated staff believes that their recommendation is the
best for this area . and for � this �._;site � to have , a- consolidated
building. Staff recommends denial of the requesti'
Mr. Kondrick asked if there were any comments from the neighbors.
Mr. Hickok stated staff did receive comments fro�n one neighbor.
who is opposed to a second accessory building and would hope for
a consolidation.
Ms. Modig asked, when taiking about asbestos removal, is that not
quite costly and a factor to worry about.
Mr. Hickok stated his understanding is that the regulations for.
residential is different from that for industrial disposal.
Properly packaged, it can be collected by existing sanitation
hauler. He thought it was a matter of care in removing the
material. There is some cost associated with it, but he thought
the cost was nominal in a residential application.
Ms. Modig asked who had received the mailing.
Mr. Hickok stated residents living either side of the street on
57th and 57 1/2 Place would have received notices.

Mr. Oquist asked if it was feasible to put a garage.at the 35-
foot setback so there is no variance.
Mr. Hickok stated staff thinks it is feasible. There is a grade
difference toward the house. One alternative staff looked at was
attaching the garage to the house which is feasible. There would
nesd to be some type of a draining system to insure run off. It
may be a nice alternative if the homeowner was planning to
increase their living space over the garage. Staff would
encourage that alternative or a larger garage at the 35-foot
setback.
The petitioner was not present at the meeting.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner did not attend the Appeals
Commission meeting either. The Appeals Commission chose to table
discussion to the next meeting.
MOTION by Ms. Modig, secorided by Mr. Saba, to table this request

Ms. McPherson stated the request is for 5660 Main Street which is
a� the intersection of 57th Avenue and Main Street. The proposed
location of the request is for the currently under construction
PETsMART which is located north of the existing Home Depot and
attached to Home Depot. They share a zero lot line. The
PETsMART facility will be 24,960 square feet in area and is a
retail pet supply store. In addition, the facility will have a
groomer, fish, birds, and they propose to provide veterinary
services. The veterinary services part of the facility occupies
approximately 6� of the store area. Ms. McPherson reviewed the
floor plan which includes exam rooms, X-ray rooms, a surgery
area, general reception area, and pharmacy.

Ms. McPherson stated veterinary clinics are permitted with a
special use permit in a C-3, General Shopping District. The
following standards are outlined in the zoning code:
1. All windows in the area of building housing animals shall be
double glazed with a fixed sash.
2. Any ventilation systems shall be designed so that no odors
or organisms will spread between wards or to the outside
air.
3. There shall be no outside pens or holding areas.
Ms. McPherson stated the proposal by PETsMART meets those
criteria. Staff recommends another stipulation which is

4. The petitioner shall submit documentation verifying that all
veterinarians are licensed as required by the State.

Ms. McPherson stated yes.
Dr. Lester stated VETsMART is presently establishing their
hospitals throughout the Twin Cities. This facility is one.og

which provides full seven-day a week, weli equipped, quality
veterinary hospitals. Dr. Lester reviewed the services that ar.e

3. CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REOUEST, SAV #96-03. BY.CLAYTON
AND JEAN HICRS•
To vacate a five foat drainage and utility easement
dedicated in the plat of Sandhurst Addition covering the
southerly five feet of Lot 2, Block 1, Sandhurst Addition,
lying easterly of the westerly ten feet of said Lot 2, and
the northerly five feet of Lot 3, Block 1, Sandhurst
Addition, generally located at 10b Hartman Circle N.E.
Ms. McPherson stated the request is for 106 Hartman Cir:cle which
is located wes� of East River Road and north of the south_.loop of
Hartman Circle. The petitioners are requesting to vacate a five-
foot drainage and utility easement that lies on both sides of the
lot line for a total width of 10 feet. The petitioners' property
is composed parts of Lot 2 and Lot 3 of Sandhurst Addition. When
the lot was created and the house built, the underlying easements
were not vacated and the dwelling constructed in 1961 was built
over the easement. The petitioner has requested this vacation in
order to clear up any future title issues which may arise as a
result of the dwelling constructed over the easement.
Ms. McPherson stated the Engineering Department reviewed request
to determine if there was any impact to City utilities. There
are no existing City utilities located within the easement area.
�, They have recommended that only the easterly 93 feet of the
easement be vacated. That would allow vacation of the portion
PLANNING COMMI38ION MEETING AIIGIIST 21 1996 PAGE 6
under the dwelling unit. Their recommendation is based on the
fact that there are overhead power lines in this area. There is
a utility pole located in the corner of the two properties and
they want the easement for utility purposes.
Ms. McPherson stated, as has been typical in similar requests,
the City is requesting an easement in exchange for this 10-foot
area. Staff recommends approval of the request with the
following stipulation:
l. The petitioner shall grant the City a 10-foot drainage and
utility easement along the north lot line of th� property.
Ms. McPherson stated th.is is requested in order
for the City and/or utility companies to access
located to the rear of these properties.
to provide access
any utilities
Mr. Oquist asked why the City was requesting 10 feet on this
property and not five feet for this property and five feet from
the adjoining property owner.
Ms. McPherson stated staff did not have.the opportunity�to speak
to the adjacent property owner.
l�ir. ICondrick asked� if staff had received any comments from the
r�eighbors .
Ms. McPherson stated staff had received no calls.
Mr. Hicks stated he has lived here since 19b2. This came about
when he was looking at the possibility of an accessory.shed and
found that�his house was built on top of an easement. He does
not have a problem and is very grateful to get an easement back
to the utility pole.� However, he cannot accept how they can take.
10 feet from the north side of him. They have only l3 feet from
the garage to the house. Taking 10 feet leaves him with 3 feet.
There is 24 feet to the back. If he wanted to put an accessory
shed to the back, it would be wort�less. As far as
accessibility, it is hopeless because it is a walk-out. The�land
slopes down to the south. He cannot understand the necessity of
having an easement because of accessibility all through the back.
Accessibility to the south is hopeless too. There are trees
there. They have constructed a cement wall to help with the
erosion problem and there is a slope coming from the neighbor's
lot to his. To the rear the land slopes down also. He thought
staff should revie�a that and ask themselves why they need the 10
feet. Also, of all the other homes in the circle, he does see
any other lots from the street to the rear of the lot that have
an easement that goes back there. Why has he been selected?
They have the small�st lot and the City wants to take 10 feet of
A
�
n
,.� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AIIGIIST 21 1996 PAGE 7
the rear of his lot. He cannot understand the need for it.
Certainly the builder and the City erred at the time the house
was platted and built.
Mr. Giancola stated he is the former 109 Hartman Circle. The
requested easement does not make any sense whatsoever on the
north part of Mr. Hicks� lot. 52 feet comprises the north part
of Mr. Hicks' lot and 40 feet comprises another lot and the
easement runs straight through. In looking at the plat from the
westerly portion, there are already easements that are created so
there is access from about four areas to that back portion. To
create 10 feet here and 10 feet there makes this lot devalued, so
to speak, and does not make any sense. Mr. Hicks came back the
night he found the easement and they looked at the abstract.
Mr. Giancola stated he does not see any reason for accessibility
to take 10 feet off the north portion of this lot because the
City and utilities have access there already.from a number.of
points to provide service.
Mr. Hinsverk stated his lot adjoins to the petitioners'•lot at
the west side. After talking to Mr. Hicks about this, it seemed
� to him there was sufficient access so they would not have to
reserve that 10 feet to the north side of that lot. ,
Mr. Oquist stated there is access from several points. Why do
they need to have that?
6
Ms. McPherson stated, in terms of maintaining as many points of
access as possi.ble.is important so they are not limited in terms
of access in ti�es of an emergency or any other time they need to
gain that access. She was not sure what the site conditions
were. If any of those points`were blocked, the City has the
right to have access at multiple points on the block.
Ms. McPherson stated the City has asked in similar instances for
a trade of easement areas. Staff received a request in 1995 for
the vacation of an easement where a house of built on an easement
and we asked for a 10-foot easement on the same property. The
City is being consistent in asking for similar dispensation to
the City.
Ms. Modig asked if the other property had the same site
constraints. If you are taking 10 feet of property from a lot
that is only 24 feet wide, then they can do nothing with that.
Ms. McPherson stated, in the request from last year, the City
asked for a 10-foot easement in the side yard where the house was
� 10 feet from the side property line. Granted that person's
property was wide so they had the remaining property to utilize.
0
PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING AIIGIIST 21 1996 PAGE 8 �
She was not sure of the petitioners' intent as to the size of
structure being built. There is possibly a point of compromise.
Mr. Oquist asked, if there was an easement there and you cannot
use it, you would not be able to use it anyway.
Mr. Hicks stated it is 168 feet back. Only 24 feet is left
behind the house. 10 feet for an easement leaves 14 feet. They
could not put anything there. If you need to get at the 24 feet
of their lot in the back, then why is it you cannot come in from
the west side. It is no further. He also asked staff, of the
other homes on Hartman Circle, how many others have accessibility
with an easement from the street. None have that, but the City
is asking for it from him.
Ms. Modig stated the City now has a 10-foot easement but it is
under the house.
Mr. Giancola stated, if you made a visual inspection of the lot,
the lot is level. There is a retaining wall, then.it slopes down
in back. fihere are trees along the lot line to the back. It is
meaninglessa
�
Ms. Modig asked Ms. McPherson what she meant when.she.mentioned a
campromise. � -
Ms. McPherson stated the Planning Commission has heard the
petitioners' testimony and the testimony of the neighbors. Staf.f
has made a recommendation. The Commission can choose to do
something otherwise. Possible options could include eliminating
the.stipulation, requiring 5 feet, or tabling the request to
allow staff work with the pefiitioner to come to some fo�m of
agreement.
Mr. Oquist stated he was in agreement with the petitioner.. He
understands the City's point and the need for an easement.
However, there is access from the south, west and north. We did
not have the easement to begin with unless you go through the
house. In this case, he thought they needed to look at it
individually. What it does to this property and the fact that
you have access from various points as it is, he does not think
the City needs that easement. He would vote to recommend
approval without the stipulation.
Ms. Modig stated she felt the same way. She wants to be
consistent but sometimes you have to look at some things
individually. She thought they would be putting a burden on the
property owner to take away that 10 feet.

Mr. Saba and Mr. Kondrick agreed.

Roger Serdahl has requested a Special IIse Permit to construct a second
accessory building over 240 square feet. The property is a double-fronted
lot located at 409 57th Place.
BUI�Il�!'ARY OF ISSIIES:
Code Section 205.07.O1.C.(1), states, "Accessory buildings other than the
first accessory building, over 240 square feet [shall require a special
use permit]". As proposed, a variance will also be requir+ed.
The Special Use Permit Section of the Fridley City Code has been
included to provide the City with a reasonable degree of discretion in
detprmining the suitability of certain de�ignated uses upon the general
welfare, public health, and safety. In making tliis determination the City
may consider the nature of the land upon which the uses are to be
lacated, the na�ure of the adjoining larid ar�d bu3ldings, the effeci upon
traffic into and fram the premises or on any adjoining roads, and all
such other factors as the City shall reasonably deem a requisite of
consideration i.n determining the effect of such use. M.S.A. 462.3595
A 30' x 20' house and a 20' x 16� free-standing garage currently exist
on site. Access-to the existing garage is �aken from 57 1/2 Avenue
N.E. The current proposal would provide �a second, detached 12' x 22'
garage that would also tak� access from 57 1/2 Avenue N.E.
Staff discussed optians that would consolidate the buildings on the
Serdahl property. Mr. Serdahl expressed an interest in b�uilding a
separate structure due to his desire to not disturb the asbestos siding
that exists on his home or �isting garage. Staff has discussed this
issue with the City Building Official and i.ndividuals in the asbestos
clean-up industry. Staff determined there are disposal mechanisms that
would allow this property owner to remove the asbestos siding and
dispose of the siding i.n an environmentally conscious manner.
There are numerous

alternatives for either an attached or detached garage

RECObIlKENDED ACTIONB:
Staff recommends denial of SP #96-14 due to the existence of
alternatives that allow consolidation of structures and elimination of
a need for a special use permit or variance on this site. If the

ACTIONB:
�
Staff discussed options that would consolidate the
buildings on the Serdahl property. Mr. Serdahl expressed
an interest in building a separate structure due to his
desire to not disturb the asbestos siding that exists on
his home or existing garage. Staff has discussed this
issue with the City �iiiding Official and individuals in
the asbestos clean-up industry. Staff determined there
are disposal mechanisms that would allow this property
owner to remove the asbestos sidi.ng and dispose of the
siding in an enviror�mentally conscious manner.
Staff believes there are numerous alternatives for either
an attached or detach� garage structure on this site.
Without consolidating structures an addition such as the
proposed will create visual clutter and create a
"compound" of structures near 57 1/2 street.
Several garages exist along 57 1/2 Avenue that do not
meet the �current 35' setback requirement. .
Recognizing a grade differential between 57 1/2 Avenue
and the house a trench drain may be necessary to
accoYmaodate runoff and eliminate flow toward the garage -
if a garage.is construc�ed closer to the home. This is
not an uncorrman condition.

Staff reconunends denial of SP #96-14 due to the existence
of alternatives that would allow consolidation of
3
structures and eli.mination of a need for a variance on
this site. If the Commission chooses to recommen��
approval of a special use permit staff recoYarnends the
following stipulations:
1. Approval of VAR #96-16 to reduce the setback from
35' to 22'. In the alternative the garage shall be
constructed at least 35' from the property line.
2. A hard-surfaced drive shall be installed within 1
year of the City Council's approval of SP #96-14.
3• The garage shall be architecturally compatible with
the structures that exist. This compatibility shall
include siding, roof pitch etc.

MEMORANDUM
PLANNING DIVISIUN
DATE: August 30, 1996
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator
SUBJECT: Keith and Donna Maahs Lot Split Request, L.S. #96-02;
1241-43 Norton Avenue N.E.
On August 28, 1996, staff contacted Keith and Donna Maahs to inform them that their
� lot split application could not be processed. The letter outlined that the request
lacked a number of vital component parts that would be essential for a successful lot
split. These component parts included:
1. A minimum lot dimension of 10,000 square feet. The Maah's lot is 8,892.38
square feet.
2. A minimum lot width of 75 feet. The Maah's lot is 66.5 feet.
3. Structural components within the home such as a two hour fire wall separation
between the units, which would be required for individual ownership. The
Maahs' strvcture was constructed without the required separation.
This item was left on the Planning Commission agenda so that it is clear to the
Commission and surrounding property owners what the issues were and why the
application was not processed.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 572-3599.
