MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to open the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
P�Lr. Erwin Yesnes was present to present the request. A survey of the lot sr�o�aing
the proposed lor.ation oL the house, and a house plan were shown to the Board.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
A. PUBLIC PL'RPOSE SERVED �Y RZ;QUIRE�7ENT: Section 205.055, 2B, which required
a single att:ached c;arage or. a lot split with less than a 75 foot fY�ontage.
B, STATrD HARDSIHIP: l��ot u.nbui.ldab.le if restriction is eriforced.
C. ADD7INISTRATIVE STZ�rF R.��,iIEj9: The restriction makes it impossible to build ar.
� R-1 structure on tl�te property. No public policy is being serve� with t;xi.s
re�airemerit which is i.riconsistant wit;: all otlzer R-1 requireme�:ts. The
administrati;on is recommending that t.�is �ection of the Code be deleted.
� b:r. Yesries expla,ired t'�e lot .is a 50 foot ]_ot Lhat is large enough to build on
legally e�:cept �or L-hc requirement: of an attac:hed garage. Iie said if hc� has to
build �in attached garage, he �:�otz_l_d have to go ;air.iz a 2.2 foot wide house �ind }i�
� wotil.d inuc'ci rather huve a?_5 .'2.5 f_c>ot wide by ' 2 root long house wi th a dctact�ed
g�?rzge. He �aid he dicin't !cnow exac�lS� wher'�: the gara�e would be located on the
� J_ot ;.�ut it would J:�e a doubie ga�-aq� with a bla.cktopped driveway.
Ct�aitc•,o;uaii Wahlberg asked �_f i�liere wcre dwe11i�1gs on ei.ti�er side of this lot ancl
Mr.. Ye.s!Ze� said there was. The acijoi_ning proper.ty owners, P�ir. & D4rs. Stanley
��etterc�i, 7410 I�b1e Street (owiiers to the �out1�) , and P1r. & Mrs. Ly�nan Farr,
7424 FzLie S creet (o�aners tc tl:e r.orth) , c�ume fort�ard to hear tlie propcsal and
reviesv t�.he plans .
lA
� Mrs. ]'��:cr said she didn't se� how a house could be built on this lot: since it� is
so sr�all. ^:r. �etLc�rer s.i�ci !:e felt allo�,�incj t �is l:o��s� co be uvil.t would liur_L
his pro�%ert:� as ,tPie Io±_ wi2..1_ liave to be LilZau in �+��d ti�e water will then drain °
,� onto 11i..� pr.�operty. IIE� said t.lie front c�f t;ie lot i.s �� 1�i.1.1 that dra�s off towarci
the l�ack and if there is � drivew.�y on tl-ic. south sicie of t;`�is lot, a].1 tne w�ter
wil.i drain tow�.rd �iis basement dcor.
�II � Mr. Y� i1��<; c�xpl�ined tliat: 1��� :��in legally laui l.d on tlil.s lot but he was sim�>ly asl�ing
to b:z� 1� a deta�hed g�ra�e inst��ad of an attacl�cd q�zragc so thai� he can �uilcl a

nicer home. He ''��said he would be willing to work with the neighbors to resolve any
' problems befor.e Ibuilding. Mrs. Parr asked what happens if this house causes
drainagc problem,'s after it is built. Mr. Yesnes said he has to ;aork with the City
Fngineeriiig Department on the drainage so he didn't feel there would be a drainage
' problem. Mrs. Parr said she was under the impression that a 50 foot lot could
not be buili. on and that was why they have kept up this lot. Chairwoman Wahlberg
said Mr. Yesnes 'is within his legal right to build on this 50 foot lot and he has
said he wouZd woxk with the neighbors to_try an3 resolve any objections or problems
' with them before building. Mr. Oetterer sai.d his only objection with the detached
garage is with t�e drivetaay havinq to go around the house where a drainage problem
might be created'.
�
�
�
r
�
�
�
Mr. Plemel asked',Mr. Yesnes if he has owned this lot for a long time. Mr. Yesnes
replied that thi's was a. ta; forfeit lot that the�% have just purchased. He add�d
thai� he did not know the history of the lot. P�Irs. Parr said ttiere are two cesspools
orz the lot that they have covered over with dirt to malce grass grow. Mr. Oetterer
said the cesspools are from his address and were insta�led in about 1954.He added
he also has a ce�spool in his yard.
Chairwoma.n Wahlberg asked the nei_ghbors if they had any further objectioiis if Mr.
Yesnes was wiZling to work with trem. on the draina�e problem. Mr. Uetterer said
there would be nothing else they could o�ject to.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote,
there being no n�.ys, the motion carried.
Mrs. Gabel stated t�.r. Yesnes does have a legal right to build - the question is
whether there is',going to be a detached or uttached garage. She said to have a
�etaciied qarage wotiid allow him to build a r,loLe attxactive home that would add
to the neighborhGOd. A�r. Plemel said he agreed and would add tr.at b7r. Yesnes
has agreed to work �aith the neighbors.
MOTION by Plemel, s-r_�conded by Gauel, to approve tlle request to waive the requiremeni.
�f << single attaehed garage and to allow a double dctached garage to be built instead.
Upon « vaice vote, �here vP_1T1CJ no nays, th� motiori carried.

2'he Minutes of tt
�eals Commission Meeting of F
10, 1976
With these po�.nts in mind, the City staff position is as follows:
Peg � �
' A. We feel that the best solution would be to request that the owner absorb this
property into the ownership of the property to t.he north as one.
B. If the owmer would sti11 like to request the variances to allow for a
builclable lot than he should;
l. Split off at least 5 �eet frcm the property to the north so as to meet as
many of the Code requirements as possible. This would eliminate variance #4
and #3.
2. The size of the house should be reduced by 4 feet and t'�e garage entrance
should be on the west of the structure allowing encreachment on his portion
of the unused alley. This would eliminate variance #5.
3. This request should go through the nornial process for va.riance requests
in that this will set �he policy for development on other 40 £oot lots.
Mr. Villella sai�i this is a corner lot that is 40 feet wide by 1.30 feet deep. He
said they plan to put the house .1.engthwise on the lot witYi a 35 foot setback from
212 Street and a 11 foot setback from 48th S'�reet which the garage will eYit onto.
H2 :�aid there woiuid be a 5 fooi. side yard setback fror.l the nor�h properLy line and
a 33.46 rear yard. He said there would be plei�ty of room around the house and the
neighbor to the north has no objections as he is the man who is selling this lot,
and he also said he lcnew of no objections fr.om other neighLors.
Mr. P.lemel askec; if he :�ould be liain, in this house aiid D1r. ViJ_1e11a ans�v��e� he
wo�!ld be iiaving 'it built� �to sell. Mr. Ville.11a added ,7im Luncl WOliiG be th� contra.ctor_.
He said Lhe house would �.e a sp�.iL fol>er, 3 beciroor�i (% up and 1 dow:�j FH�� approved
home. r;�:. �.7illella said for the coveraqe, they could build a single gazage but a
dcuble garage is more dc-s�reabl�.
Chairwoman t�Tatilberg read the "Gi:ide L�,nes for Lots Substandard in Siz�" from the
DecESnl�er 8, 1�71 Planning Commissiori mi n?it� s and the suggesticr.�. frern these minutes
f_or tl�is lot was to "C�nsideL ailowinc3 a single stcry, sma11_ house with a 5 foot
side ya.rd to trie north. The house to fit in witl� tl;e ��eighbo�inc� struct��res."
Mr. �:�i.1l�lla ;aid a sing_l_e s+:e,y hous� ceulci not be a ver.y decent size house without

The Minu tes of t]
Ls- Commission Meeting of F
10, 1976
lE
Mrs. Gabel asked',if a pur.chase agreement for this lot had been signed already and
Mr. Villella said that it hade •
Chairwoman Wahlberg said point #1 from the staff review is for the owner to absorb
this lot int�o 1�uilding site with his lots to the north but this cannot be d�ne
as he had already sold it. She said point #2 was for the owner to split off 5 feet
from his other lots to add to this Iot but since there are two �epaxate owners
this also cannot''be done. She asYed if there would be a different house plan
that could be usied to el�.minate some of tiie var_iances. Mr. villella sa.id he could
use a different plan but most plans have a?_a f_oot wide house and he felt this plan
seemed the best'to him. He added that this split foyer needs 768 square feet. iri each
level whereas a;rambler would need a minimum of 1020 square teet of floor area.
Mrs. Gabei asked what tne selling price of tnis home would be and Mr. Villella said
it woulu be aronnd $36,000. He f elt this price range for houses was in great demand.
Mr. Plemel said Ihe questio�ed where the hardship �eas. He said he coulc? see a hardship
if the owner was! going to build on the lot and h�d split ofi some of his other land
to go with it bult he couio not see a hardsliip �: .th a�i investor uuyirig the lot t�
build a ho:ne for selling.
P�'ir. Villella sai:d a lat of the other suburbs are .rui�ni.ng into smaller lots being
built on now beaause of the need for no��sing and �the e�;p�nse of large lots. He said
this being a cor,ner lot will give the appearance of more open aYea rather than
bu�_13ing on a 40 f�ot i��side 1ot, and he felt a ne�v house on this corner would add
aesthetically tq �he n��ghborhood.

of February 1Q, 1976
Mr. Plemel said �e is not necessarily in favor caf 120 foot lots but he is not fond
of 40 foot lots ezther.
IF
Chairwoman Wahlb'�erg said she would like to hear from the Planning Commission and the
various other su�comm.ittees as to tt�eir opinion of building on 40 foot lots and how
this would fit ihto the City plan. She said due to the fact that there were so
many variance requests made to build on this lot, the Board would be shooting in
i:he dark to act,on this. She felt this sr.ould be reviewed to determine how many
of these lots were in the City. N,r. Mattson noted that it was implied in Mr. Lieb]�'s
statement that there were a number of them.
Chairwoman Wahlberg noted that in the Comprehensive Housing Plan for low and moderate
housing it suggests using scattered housing and this could be where this lot could
be used. She said she would like to table acting on tilis item until the Board could
get the comment5 from the various commissions.
Chairwoman WahlYierg asked if Mr. �ilZella would mind waiting approximately 6 weeks
to 2 months to ge� fina7_ action on this request. Mr.. Villella said they had no
specific date iri mind to start construction so .ze would. agree wi�ch tabling tiie reqt�est.

B. S�'ATED HARDSH�P: Only pntr.,ance into Wicks and Plywood Minnesota and could cause
traffic pro�l�ms by person trying to retrace tlieir steps once past the entrance.
C. ADMINISTRATIV� STAFI' REVIEW: We feel that this hardshiF has some merit to it
and could cause some traffic problems because of a missed entrance. The following
conditi�ns should be required with the granting of the variance.
1. There will be no cther billboards allowed on this plat.
2. That +-_he owner of the sign woul.d be required to remove the sign within 60
days of the issuance of a building permit for the propex'ty on which it is located.
Nir. Hunt said they are looking �o put up an entrance sign that Plywood Minnesota and
Wicks I`urniture ,will share. He said ZVicks has a sign in approximately the same
location that wi,ll come down when the new sign is put up. He said they have a
problem in that,they are tlie only ret.ail businesses in this area and it is very
di£f_icult for the people ta find ti�ern as the addresses are on East River Road. He
said they have hac� many complaints from customers who have gone by the entrance
and then have had to find their way ba��'�c to the entrance.
Chairwoman Wahlberg asked what the size of the sign was that is existing. Mr.
, Hunt said the present sign is a 8' a 12' double fac� sign and the new sign will
be two ].0' x 15' pailel.s coming toget.her to form a"V" so the sign will be able
to be read from',both north and south.

wou.ld like te coristruct it cut of ply-G•rood and have exterior Iighting. He said
the Code does s�y ttie �i�n should be ai_1 metal uui�, he fc-lt since the sign was

Plannang Co:nmissilon at their January 21st meeting. She said the new book is
in a better forrniand it is inciexed much better with the maps mor.e readable, but
that it is basically the same as before. She said there was a member from the
Me�ra Council at the Pianning Commission m�eting who talked about the different
plans available tor funds,and she said she had copies of the minutes of that

' said a �aritten p�oposal for this was given to the Planning Commission which the
Board members have a copy of, and the Planning Commission would like the Board
to review it and,refer their comments back to the Planning Commis�ion.
The Bo�rd discus�ed the need for a teen center in Fridley but questionec? wheLher
City Iiall would be the correct location fer it.
Chairwoman ttiTahlberg said the Board members should read over �his proposal and be
prepa.red to discuss it at the next meetinc�.
Mrs. Gabel said the next scheduled meet.ing for the Appeals Commission is set for
February 24, 19?6 which is also tY:e UFL and GOP caucus night, so she felt the

said that on the utl�er Special Use Permits for billboards we
to the terms of thc lease. tie asked h1r. Lofquist if he had
a stipulation l�ke this on tfiis billboard. Mr. Lofquist said
ion to that stipulation on this particular biilboard. lie said
year lease, but this property could be developed before the lease
.
t�ir. Board�nan said this billboard did mee1: ali �he requirements of the sign
ordinance and t�e staii' had no objcction to the Special Use Permil; t�eing granted
with the stipul�tion �:hat +��hen the pro�erty ��aas developed the biliboard would be
removed. He sa'��id the cancellation clause would tak� care of this. tY1r. Harris
said that if th',e Planr�ing Commiss;or� recommei�ded approval of this request, he
thought 1;hat shbuld be a stipulation.
�
Mr. Qoard;nan said it �-aas possible that �;his property would be rezoned prior
to deve1�pment,j but th'is sign �vould then be e�randfatk��ered in until the property
was developed, i o f�e didn't thinE; that ti,�ould be a big nroblem.

needed an identification sign on East River Road. Mr. Boardman said that both
Wickes and Plyariood had signs in this area. The Plyr�ood sign did blow dovan and
when they t��ere 'Iin the process of putting it back up, they were �:agqed by the C�ty
because this ��ra'�s a non-conforming sign. In subsequent meetings 4�ith the staff, this
was i.hc pro�}osa�,l that �:he_y had con;e wii:h. He said the staff had been in contac�;
with Qurlington' �vorthern about pu�:t�i��g up one iden�tificatian sign for the �ndust, �al
Par�:, but they I!,di�,�'t �va.nt to do tliis. As P1yv:ood a�id l�ickes t-��ere the only t�•do
cor�«�iercial ven�t�ures in tliis par�; and did rely on the public f�inding the entrance ta
these p�°opertiels, t��e f-elt there ��as a substantial hardshi,�. Ne said that by not

Mr. James Ante�l, of GTL- Sylvania, said they were opposed to this sign
, for a couple ofireasons. One of the reasons beinc,� that ii; would dei;ract from
the beauty of the industrial park. /11so, this plant went to a lot of expense
in constructing'their building and landscaping so the plant wou1d be a credit
to Fridley. He�present�d a pictur� taken fro�r. Fast River Road which he said
�, showed thai: the!, p�esent siyn blocks 1 vie��r of their plant from East River Road,
and the new sig'�n ��rould be larger, so they would be almost hidden.
�Ne said the Planning Commission had been discussing tliat this sign would
eliminate a tra�ffic hazard, but how about the people com-ing -From the ��orth. If
they slam on th�ir brakes ��Jhen they see this sign, it �•�ou�d sti11 be a traffic
� hazard, and it wrould make rnore sense to have the County put up a small direc�:ional
sign with an ar�°ow point;r�g to the entrance. I-I� felt the present proposal would
distrac�; tremen�ously f��om �their building.

arould utilize the teenagers in the area. P1s. Lamber�: said they had already discussec�
�:he possibility of putting on a musical if there was enough interest in the first play.
Nancy Lambert said there aJere many things they could do for the City of
F'ridley.in the i:�aJter of �fine arts. bJe are requesting $70Q in funding from the
City because we believe�it is a re�ponsibility of i;he City to support local artists,
as well as fostering in�;eresi; in the cul�:ural li�e of the City. 41e have a fine

was available for the total services and needs of the community.
Mr. Scottisaid that when �he Planning Commission was reorganized, the Fine
Arts Committee came out of this reorganization and ���e had absolutely nothing to
do ��Jltfl any kind of budgetory process. The idea of a Fine Arts Cornmission was
totally unthought of. This came out of Human Resources seminars. He said that
a result of these seminars, tivhen the Human Resources Commission started working
an their goals and objectives, we identi�ied from citizen participation, tha�; a
Fine Arts Committee vlas of viable interest to i:he City. This was not a Parks and
Recreation fuction. This was a Fine P,rts funci;ion. This ���as a complecely different
type of activity than recreational activities. Ffe said tha�: no Fine Arts Co�nmissi�n
in the Sta�;e of' 1�innesoi�a ��ras affiliated ���ith a Parks & Recreation Commission. bre
don't even feel' that th7s shoi�ld be a part of �:he Nuinan Resources Commission, but

already, but now that it has started, she �:hought the City shoul.d support something
like this. '
Mr. Langenfeld said that we had studied in the Comprehensive �lousing Plan
that Fridley was a maturing communtiy. He thought a more mature community was
ready to t�ke on something like this.
Mr. Harris said he though� 'chai; Fridley had the finest Public Works �epartment
in the State. We mentioned some of the equipment thai; had been bough�; in the
last year and thc amount of money t;hat had been spen on such equipment. He said
we could alt-rays' find n�oney for things like that, but nc�t fo�r prograrns ,for pe�ple. Ne
said his neighbors couldn't relate to nevr snow plo�•rs or new ��varehouses to �:eep them
in, but vde seem to find money_for tP�ese things. When the money was requested for
something ti�at �rould relate right back to the c�tizenry, then was when we had
trouble fiinding the money.
Mr. Star���alt said the point was we11 tal;en, bu�; the��e were many things taken
out of the budget ihai: ��aas requested by vario� � depar�r.�ents of the C�ty, so the
City did ���atch f�ow they spent the money.
Mr. Start�valt said it vaas a matter of tax doilar�. Ev��ryone of these
rec�uests uses tax dollars. Fle said �:hat if he could ji�st �;hink of the ?ndividual
requests ai�d not the tota1 tax bill, he ���ould vote for a11 these requests. He
said he had to 'ask hii�isel F that ?f this ti,ras pui: to a vo�e by the people whe,� they
knew it would raise tl�e�ii�.taxes, woulc� tf�ey voce for it.

Mr. Langenfeld asked how much the total request for funding firom HUC an�ounted
to. Mr. Leek said the totai amount was fi335,000. Mrs. l,lahlberg said she added it

Chairman N�rris said he thought it was a matter or priorities and he tr�ou�rt
the City needed other things before it needed a civic center.
Mr. Qeryma� sa�d that ir considering this preapplicat�on for a Communit:y
Develapment alocE: Grant, he ti�ought i;hat �:he projects mentioned appl ied to i;��e
goals and objectives set up in the housing plan except for items 4 and 6. He
said they wer�e both a s�arpris2 to i�im, and fie �;hought thai; in both �:hese items
we had the cart out in front of i;he horse.
Mr. [3oardman said that Mr. Qergman v�as probably right, and they should only
request funding ti�at related to the goals and objectives of the housing p1a��.
Mr. Scott said he had some Nroblems �•rith this preap��lication. He said that
� arhat tl�is clocu�nent �-ras for was i:o stir�ulai;e the irterest of HUD. )le didn't t}�ink
there r�as much in this do�umei�t �:c do that. ��1r, 6oardman said he Uras open to any
suggestions that ��1r. Scott �;�oultl like to make. He saic! that this �;�as no� a sf;aff
, exercise, it was ��n a�ctemE�t tu get i���r�U�ing, and if tf�e Piai-�i�ing i;o��i�nissioi� 1-�� .�
any idea� on how �:his application could be irnproved, h� �vould b� very happ�� �;o
use tnose ideas. '��ir. Scott said ther•e could be a stat:e�T�en�� t:hat these proj�ct:s
would eli���inate, reciuce or° pi�event ghettoiza�;.ion.. He s�zid it could say th<;.�1;
' they 4�ranted to sustain fiui��an de�,elop��;ent witt7 a qood 1i f� so oc�r coi�n7unity could

Starwalt should Ihave any problem in explaining this to the ci�izenry.
1. EE.
t�r. S�arwalt sai� the Council was i,n favor of tt�e housing maintenance code.
He said that he was interest:ed in�i�aving low-interest loans available for home
improvements. He said that these would not be ar�rninistrated by tl�e City bui; by
savings �nd Toan associatioris and banks. He said the aspect of having a resource
center available to provide ideas and expertise for people who want to do-it-yourself,
so to s��eak, he 'thought was good.
i�lr. Starwalt said that back on the money, you are saying that money w�as
availat�le. �ie sa�d ihat the last infor�mation he had was tfiat the Federal Governmen�
was going to be',in the red ��n ad;?itional 45 billion dollars this year. That's tax
money, being bor'rovred to ma{;e these programs available. He said there were tti��o
tt��eories about money. One was -the sperd yourse1f into prosperity, which he had
never subscribed �:o, and, th�� o�:l�er t�aas pay as you yo. He said to say that other
communities ��roui'd get this rnoney, if we don'i:, t�ras in a cer�i;ain sense true. He
saici but �-rho ar� v�e kidding �-;hen every year the federal c�ov�rnment goes furthe� in
c'eht, and he felt i�his was breal:ing this countrv do�:n, and he didn't ��dant ta see
i;hat happen, and philosophi��ally, he was just ���ying to point out�that all the
things t�:e see and hear and read abo�_at available money j!�s�: doesn't stack up �,�hen
yau look at it ir tf�e long stre�;ch.
t�ir. I-tarris said that he �;hough� t��e ���ere bacF; tc 5�1,ying dui,�p trucl;s at the
federai level. ''He said that 45 Lillion dollars �-;as an ustronomical amount of money.

I� •Mrs. Wahlb',erg said there a�as a study made in 1971 by the P.lanning Commiss�ion
and on this parti'cular lot, i:hey d�id feel ic was buildable with a small one story
house. She said the request they received for this lot was for a split level house
4rith an attached 'i:wo car gart�ye. She thought that maybe i;he gui del i nes set up in
' 1971 vrere no longer applicab1e.
t�lr. Harris said that at that time he thought the Plannin� Commission had
�, ' requested an op�nion from the C:ity Att.orney on whether we could deny a building
permit on 40' lots. He said i;�:r.t if the legal opinion t��adn't heen received, because
it may have been done verbally, ��e would like to get a memo on the leyai stand for
� 40' lots. Ne said this would ��'.,� the Planniny Commission �rith their recommendation.
Mrs. L�1lhlberg said that our p! '�+it code said �:hat the minimum lot size was 50' in
the old plats. �
,
� Mr. Boardman said that t.f;� City Council said in 1971 that ail lots in Fridley
shouid be considered buildable.
Mrs. l�ahlberg said that in 1972 tf�e Counci i said there couldn't l�e ;�'ven
blanket a�?proval on all 40' �ots becau�e some of thcm 4,�ere corner lots �nci some
were in the i»terior of a block so each lot v,�ould have to be considered on an
ind�iVlCIUd1 basis.
