WILLIAM A. DRIGANS CHAIRMAN BOARD OF APPEALS Y Page 3 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcom�ittee Meeting of June 10, 1975 Chairman Drigans asked if he talked to his neigh�ors regarding his intentions. Th°re were no objections. Chairman Drigans asked why Mr. P�iller had only Mr. Schroeder sign the release. Mr. Mattsor� repl i ed that ti�roul d be -the property they wioul d be encroachi ng on. It is the concern of the n�ignbor closest to ti�e structure that is proposed that is affected by tnis matter. Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Miller if he intended to �se his existing garage as a �vorkshop and he answ�red, yes. Discussion -followed as to iocation oi front door and driveway. MOTION by Premel, seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to close public hearing. Upon a voice vo�e, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Plemel stated that if one neighbor objected, he would have some second thoughts on this variance. Mrs. Gabel stated that she wasn't sure that she would approve this variance in an area 4vhere all of the houses were placed back so far. Chairman Drigans stated that he wants a double garage and he has no other place to put it but in the front yard. He would go along with the request as long as f�r. h1iller uses his existing garage as a hobby shop and not as a form of employment or for commercial purposes. Also it should be covered with the same material as his house. MOTION by Premel, seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, to grant the variance in this case from 67' to 31 feet to allow construction of an addition to garage and a breezeway, with the stipulation that the garage be of the same material as that of the house and to have it blend in as well as possible. Chairman Drigans specified that it is �he requirement of the City Code to have the driveway hard-surfaced. 3.

Page 4 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee M�etinq of June 10, 1975 MOTIOP� by Drigan� seconded by Plemel, to open public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Brad Johnson, representing Portfolio Realty Company �ias present to present his ►�equest. He stated th�rz were no single family dwel7ings on this street, that they were ali douole bungalows. �fhe reason for requesting these variances was that th2y �elz it would be a tremendous improve�ent to the property. At the �resent time, there is no piace to park and also no place for garbage or storage. It is rental property at the present time. He also stated that most tenants have ttiaao cars, and the ordinance requires three stalls, tivhich would diminish space for tenants and would cause an increase in rentals. Also, this would eliminate the tenants parking on the street. If w� conform to your requirements, we have to stay all the way back and be only five feet from the house, thus further disrupting the backyard area. By setting the garages back 20 1/2 feet, we increase the backyard area and also allow for a sidewalk should the city decide one is needed. Mr. Premel asked what was behind these bungalows. A Mobile Homes Court. Mr. Johnson stated that if they were permitted to construct 2 1/Z car garages (22 x 22'), with separate stalls, they could reduce the cost difference. The cost of each garage will run about $3,000. The project would run them about $50,0�0 or $60,000. He said there were many nice homes across the street. There aras discussion about the blacktop. Mr. Johnson this was to provide additional off-s�reet parking and clean-up and landscaping of the whole back yard. stated that was part of the A Mr. Dona7d Sjurseth of 7440 Able Street stated that he and several other members were there because the public hearing notice said some- thing about a front yard setback. This caused them to think that the garage�were going to be built in the front yard. He said that they naw understand that because of the two streets both the f ront and the back yard have to be considered as front yards. With this explanation, they had no other objections. Mr. Ralph Klingl of 7364 Able Street N.E., stated that he had one of the better homes there and anything they could do to improve the situation, he would be all for it and for the neighborhood. We hope this wi17 bring in a better cliental into the neighborhood. He also noticed much improvement within the last few months. Chairman Drigans asked if there were any other questions. There were none. He then asked Mr. Mattson if the staff'had anything further to add. Mr. Mattson stated that the plans h1r. Johnson has described seemed to be quite adequate and certainly an improvement. The staff was mainly concerned about upgrading the landscaping. What Mr. Johnson has proposed seems quite adequate. Page 5 The i�inutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meetinq of June 10, 1�75 �-1r. Drigans stated that he was concerned about the narrow 6 foot space between these garages. He felt that these might end up being refuse areas. There was s�me discussion regarding increasing the s�deyard setback to five feet ��ahich would provide 10 feet between the carages. ��r. Johnson replied that this was a possibility otherwise he could probably put a fence b�tween them. MOTIOPd by Plemel, s�conded by Mr. Kemper, to close the public hzaring. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, mation carried. MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to recommend to the Council, approval to reduce the average front yard setback from 35 feet to 20.5 feet and to reduce the number of 3 stalls to 2 sta7ls to allow the construction of ten double garages.
