The addition would include a bedroom (12'3" x 17'8") and a living room (18' 10" x 13'3 ") plus enlarged entry way and closets. The present living room would become a family room. The new addition would add 576 sq. ft. of living space to existing 1196 sq. ft. on the ground floor for a total of 1772 sq. ft. The enlarged house would be 14 ft. closer to the street than previous structure but still 30 ft. from the curb. Reason for request to build. Our basic reason for building is that we have outgrown our present residence and need more space. We have lived in the present 3 bedroom house for 8 years. When we purchased the house we had one daughter. When our son was born last year, the third bedroom became used full- time. We need another bedroom for guests. Marilyn's mother, who lives in Decorah, IA., comes to visit frequently and we resort to moving a twin bed into the living room for her use. Her mother is 76 years old and has had hip and knee surgery. She cannot climb stairs easily and our basement would be unsafe in case of a fire. Marilyn is the closest daughter; her other children live on the East and West coasts. We welcome her visits and expect that as she ages further that she may become a full-time resident. a We prefer not to move to�different larger house. Investing the cost of buying and selling our house ($10,000 estimate) in our present property is financially smarter and would cover a good portion of the cost of the addition. We have established ourselves in the neighborhood over the past eight years. Our daughter walks to the Stevenson school where all of her friends attend. Many of her friends are also right in the neighborhood within walking distance. Our baby sitter lives directly across.the street. We are active in our church (Redeemer Lutheran} which is within 1/2 mile. Moving would disrupt our whole family's social life. Gerdeen Varianc� Petition Alternatives to building in the front � Page z 6DD We have considered building in different ways. Our back yard is very small with only 28 ft. from the house to the back fence. A reasonably sized addition of 16 ft. would leave only 12 ft. to the back line. An addition in the back would essentially sacrifice the little back yard space that we have. It would also restrict any view that we or our two adjoining neighbors have. There would be extensive damage to trees and landscape just to gain access to the back yard. Our back yard is fenced in so that our son can play without danger of wandering into the street. Excavation and construction back there would disrupt his whole play area and add unnecessary dangers. Building on the back behind the present bedrooms, would require extensive disruption to two of the present bedrooms. One of the bedrooms would become inadequate in size (6 ft. wide) due to the required hallway space and would have no window. Essentially, one room would be sacrificed to add two. Building behind the garage seems impractical because access to the main portion of the house would have to be through the gaxage or the kitchen would have to be modified. In addition, we would lose the biggest tree in the back yard and restrict the view of our neighbor to the east from their 3-season porch. Building directly behind the present dining area in the middle of the backyard would divide the backyard into two small areas and is undesirable. Our present electric, telephone and cable utilities also come into this central area and would have to be revamped. ' We also considered building a second story over a portion of the house but feel that would be more disruptive to the present structure. The roof of the house is built with 2x4 trusses and great care would have to be taken while removing such and building the second floor. Work would be more difficult and would have to proceed more rapidly since the present structure would be exposed to the elements. A sudden rain storm could cause extensive damage to the ceilings of the first floor during exposure. In addition, a second bathroom on the second floor would be required at extra expense. . Gerdeen Varianc�Petition Advantages of building in front • Page 3 6EE Building in the front is the logical choice. There is more space since the present house is 48 ft. from the curb. An addition in the front provides a more balanced use of the lot: it would be 30 ft. to the curb compa.red to 28 ft. to the back fence. The view down the street for our neighbors would not be restricted much more than it is already. There are presently many trees down the street that would tend to hide our addition. Our closest neighbor to the west has a large evergreen that already restricts their view in our direction. Even then their bedrooms are on the end of their house closest to ours. Excavation will also be easier in the front and the landscaping in the yard will be disrupted less. The closest tree will be 9 ft. away from the new addition. Building in front would require reducing the size of the present master bedroom to a still adequate 9' 11 " x 11'6" while providing access to the new larger master bedroom. We could continue to use the present master bathroom and no additional plumbing is necessary. Adding a living room in front also allows for a larger and more protected front entry way. The new entry would open to the east instead of the north and would be protected better from the cold winter's northwest winds. Access to the new living room would be direct from the new entry way. It would also allow for entertainment of guests separate from the day-to-day living area. A full basement under the addition is planned and would provide additional storage and recreational areas below. We presently have difficulty in moving objects down into the basement since there is only 28" between the last step and the basement wall. We plan to open the basement wall at that point to allow direct access to the new basement area.

Page 2 A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: � 6P Section 205.07.03.A requires a minimum lot area of 9,000 square feet in the R-1 Single Family Dwelling District. Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the condition of overcrowding of a residential neighborhood and to avoid an excess burden on the existing water and sewer services and to avoid reduction of surrounding property values. 3ection 205.07.03.0 requires that not more than 25� of the area of a lot shall be covered by the main buildings and all accessory buildings. Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the condition of overcrowding of a residential neighborhood. Section 205.07.03.D.(1) requires a front yard setback of not less than 35 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off- street parking without encroaching on the public right-of-way and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the building "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: See attached hardship. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Request The petitioner, Joel Gerdeen, is requesting three variances to reduce the minimum lot area from 9, 000 sq. ft. to 8, 835 sq. ft. ; to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 21 feet; and to increase the lot coverage from 25� to 26.5�; to allow the construction of an 18 ft. x 32 ft. addition to the front of his house on Lot 2, Block 2, A1 Rose Addition, the same being 6240 Alden Way N.E. Site A single family dwelling unit with an attached two car garage is located on the parcel. The parcel is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are the parcels to the north, east, west, and south. • Staff Report VAR #90-17, 6240 Alden Way N.E. Page 3 Analysis I,ot Area � 6Q The lot area is 8,835 sq. ft. and was platted as such in 1971 with a lot width of 93 feet and lot depth of 95 feet. There is no mention in the minutes of the plat process that the lot does not meet the minimum lot area requirement. However, at the public hearing at the March 14, 1968, Planning Commission meeting, discussion occurred concerning the fact that the lot depth was shorter than "average". The lot depth requirement was waived by the Planning Commission as the lots on either side of the area being platted had been platted (please see attached March 14, 1968, Planning Commission minutes). Since the City approved the plat with the lots not meeting the lot area requirement, staff recommends that the lot area variance be approved. Lot Coveraqe As the minimum lot area is reduced, the 25� lot coverage, in effect, is increased. An average lot of 9,000 sq. ft. would have a 25� lot coverage of 2,250 sq. ft., and a lot of 10,000 sq. ft. would have a 25� lot coverage of 2,500 sq. ft. The subject parcel has a 25$ lot coverage of 2,208 sq. ft. The proposed addition will increase the total square footage of structures on the site to 2,348 sq. ft. (26.5� lot coverage). The proposed square footage would be 25� of a lot 9,392 sq. ft. in area. However, because the lot is substandard in size, a variance should not be granted to allow the petitioner to increase the lot coverage significantly. Staff recommends an increase in the lot coverage to the 9,000 sq. ft. lot coverage of 2, 250 sq. ft. which is proportional to the reduced lot area and which would require the petitioner to reduce the proposed addition by 98 sq. ft. This would require a 3 foot reduction in the depth of the proposed addition. The addition would then be 15 feet by 32 feet. This would still provide adequate room size with some minor modifications to the foyer area of the proposed addition. Front Yard Setback The reduction of the addition by 3 feet would then change the variance to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 24 feet. This would allow the petitioner's addition to be more in line with adjacent parcels on either side of the subject parcel. The parcel to the east is a corner lot situation, so the setback from Alden Way appears to be 17.5 feet, while the parcel is to the west appears to be set back the required 35 f eet . . . ' • � � 6R Staff Report VAR #90-17, 6240 Alden Way N.E. Page 4 The petitioner has indicated several reasons why the front yard is the only reasonable alternative including building code requirements, the impracticality of building to the rear of the garage, and blocking adjacent property owners' views (see attached hardship). In addition, the shortened rear yard is a result of the shorter lot depth. The petitioner would then be trading a front yard variance for the rear yard variance. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Appeals Commission approve the lot area variance to reduce the lot area from 9, 000 sq. ft. to 8,835 sq. ft. Staff recommends that the Appeals Commission deny the front yard variance and the increased lot coverage variance as presented, but approve a reduction in the front yard setback from 35 feet to 24 feet, and to increase the lot coverage from 25� to 25.40. Appeals Commission Action The Appeals Commission voted 3-1 to recommend approval of staff's recommendation to the City Council. The petitioner indicated that, while staff's recommendation makes the proposed rooms smaller, it is a workable solution. City Council Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council approve the variances as follows: 1. To reduce the lot area from 9,000 sq. ft. to 8,835 sq. ft. 2. To reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 24 feet. 3.

IIPON A VOICS VOTE, ALL VOTIN(; AYE, C$AIRPERSON BAV]lGB DECLARBD THL MOTION CARRISD AND THE PIIBI�IC HEliRIN(3 OPEN AT 8:00 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated this property is located adjacent to Alden Way on the south side of the street. Currently on site is a sinqle family dwelling unit with an attached two car qarage. The parcel is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are the parcels to the west, north, east and south. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is requesting three variances: minimum lot area from 9,000 sq. ft. to 8,835 sq. ft.; front yard setback from 35 ft. to 21 ft.; and maximum lot coverage from 25� to 26.5$. Lot Area Ms. McPherson stated the lot area is 8,835 sq. ft. which is below the minimum of 9,000 sq. ft. as outlined in the Zoning Code. The lot was platted in 1971 with a lot width of 93 feet and lot depth of 95 feet. In the March 14, 1968, Planning Commission minutes, there is mention that the lot depth was shorter than "average" . The lot depth requirement was waived by the Planninq Conunission as the lots on either side of the area had been already been platted. Since the City approved the plat with the lot not meeting the lot area requirement, staff recommends that the lot area�variance from 9,000 sq. ft. to 8,835 sq. ft. be approved. � • ._� • • � . ' • �.�Y_ _ _ _ • � 1 ` ' i I = . . � � .:. � � Lot Coverage Ms. McPherson stated that as the minimum lot area has been reduced, when proposing the addition, the actual lot coverage is increased. If the lot met the minimum lot area requirement, the average lot size of 9,000 sq. ft. would have a 25� lot coverage of 2,250 sq. ft. The petitioner is proposinq an increase of square footage on the site to 2,348 sq. ft. Because the lot area is reduced, the actual lot coverage is then 26.5�, which is over the maximum of 25� allowed by code. This would actually be 25$ of a lot 9,392 sq. ft. in area. However, because the lot is substandard in size, the variance should not be granted to significantly increase the lot coverage. Staff has recommended a compromise of this variance to increase the lot coverage to 2,250 sq. ft. which is 25� of the 9,000 sq. ft. This would require the petitioner to reduce the addition by 98 sq. ft. Staff determined that a 3 ft. reduction in the depth of the proposed addition would meet that requirement. The proposed addition would then be 15 ft. x 32 ft. instead of the proposed 18 ft. x 32 ft. Front Yard Setback Ms. MaPherson stated that by reducing the addition to 15 feet in depth, this variance request is then changed from 35 ft. to 24 ft. This would allow the addition to be somewhat more in line with the adjacent properties. The property to the east is a corner lc�t eo the setback from Alden Way is 17 1/2 feet. The property to the west appears to be setback the required 35 feet from Alden Way. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner submitted a very thorouqh application and outlined several reasons why it would not be possible to place the proposed addition in the rear or side yards. Because of the shortened lot depth, the petitioner only has a rear yard of 28 feet which only allows the petitioner to e3tpand an additional 3 feet before he encroaches into the rear yard setback of 25 feet. The Appeals Commission would then be trading the front yard variance for a rear yard variance. Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommendinq that the Appeals Commission approve the lot area variance from 9,000 sq. ft. to 8, 835 sq. ft. ; to deny the front yard setback variance and the increased lot coverage variance as requested, but to approve a reduction in the front yard setback from 35 feet to 24 feet and to increase the lot coverage from 25� to 25.4� Mr. Gerdeen stated he has redesiqned the addition based on the 15 feet. He basically changed some of the closet space and the entryway. He actually liked the redesign on the basis of the entryway, except that it cramps the old master bedroom.

AIIGUST 21. 1990 PAQE 8 tTPON A VOICS VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPSRSON BAPAQE DBCLARBD T8E MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC BEARINa CL08ED AT 8:25 P.M. Mr. Kuechle stated he would like to see the variances approved; however, he had some real concerns about trying to put too much into this neighborhood. The lots in this area are quite small, and sometimes a person has to move to get �a larqer house. He stated that in looking at the site line, the addition would stick out about il feet in front of the existing house, and that is a lot in a neighborhood where the lots are small and the houses large. He stated he could vote in favor of the lot area and lot coverage variances, but had some difficulty with the front yard variance. Ms. Dacy stated that when they analyzed this request, they thought this was different in the fact that it had the 93 foot lot depth which is atypical. It is typical for this particular subdivision, but it appears that Al Rose Addition is sandwiched between the plat to the north and to the south. From a legal point of view, denying the lot coverage and front yard setback variances would obviously not deny the petitioner use of the property. They would still have the house and garage. The other alternative would be add to the rear which would require a rear yard variance. Ms. Smith stated it did not Beem to make sense to put the addition onto the rear of the house. It makes more sense to do it the way staff has recommended. Unfortunately, if these variances are granted, she could foresee a precedent to other neighbors in this area who might want to add onto the front of their homes. Ms. Savage stated she agreed there are some problems as far as crowding, and the homes to the west all seem to be on the same line of sight. She would tend to agree with staff's recommendation. Ms. Smith stated she would also recommend approval based on staff's recommendation. Dr. Vos also agreed.

Item 1(L.S. ��G8-O5, Walter Maciaszek) was to be puC on the April llth Agenda because tre petitioner was not ready this evening. The rest of the items �aould be considered in the order in �ahich they appear on the Agenda. � 1. PUBLSC HEARTNG: PROPOSED PRFLIMID?ARY PLAT. P.S. �68-01, AI. ROSE ADDITION, ALBERT M. JOHn?SON: I,ot 36, Revised Auditor's Subdivision ��23. The Public Hearing rotice was xead bS• Chaixman Hughes. He eYplained the custom of the Planning Couunission is far the petitioner to speak first, then the Commissxon members discuss the petition and following that, the meeting is open for discussion to members of the public. , Mr. Jensen explained that the Plats � Subdivisions-StreeCs & Utilities Subcammittee examined the aerial photos of the area and it appeared there was a difference in the North/South dimensions. By scaling the aerial photo, it appeared to be 220 feet while the preliminary plat showed 2��0 feet. W�.th a lot depth of 95 feet, thzs would be below the requirements of the ordinan�e by five feet. � Mr. Harry Crowder, 146 63rd Way: You are going to put in 12 loCs, in- cluding No. 8 which has a house on now? TI�e zoning is for single famatly. The new plat wzs circulated among the audience. Richard Ditees, 6291 Riverview Terrace: Most of the people are here because they were concerned whether the zoning ma.ght be changed from R-1 and since this is of concern no longer, then the people are in favor of the plat. Is there something in this layout that has sexious implications? He was informed the question was the possibility that some of the loCs would be too small in dimensions to meet all ordinance requirements. It now appears that Mr. Johnson has corrected this. Mr. Dittes cantinued that if the CoTmnission had no objections, he would like to see the request approved.

PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING RE�UEST, ZOA ��68-02. ROBERT WILSON: Lot 4, Block 1, Wilson Addition. Rezone from R-1 to R-3A. The Public Hearing Notice was read by Chairman Hughes. A communication from P4rs. Mable F. Gadbois was received �ahich referred to this Item. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were present. Mr. Wilson said being it is all industrial pr�perty to the rear of this area, the lot to the north has a tri- plex on it, he thought it would really dress up the neighborhood to have this type structure in there. He said Mrs. Gadbois' property is an old farm and there is some 40 lots that are vacant. Mr. Erickson said according to the zoning map, the area north, Gailsview Addition, had not been recorded as of January 1, 1968. rfx. Wilson was asked if he were the owner of Lot 1 when the rezoning originally took place, but he said the former owner rezoned the lot in 19b0. The Chairman asked the Engineering Assistant if he had discussed this request with the City of Columbia Heights. Darrel Clark replied that he had talked to Mr. Brown, City Engineer, and he informed him that the zoning across the street was R-2. He would inform the City Manager of Columbia Heights of the hearing and if he fe1C they would comment, thaC they would send a letter. They were also told this would go before the Council before anything would be final. � Mr. Myhra wondexed if the size of the land was insufficient fox a four- plex and was informed that was true. A triplex was the largest apartment Mr. Wilson could builci. � � Mr. Erickson then addressed Mr. Wilson and asked him that knowing the fact he could not build a four unit apartment on this building site, if it was his wish to continue this request? Mx. Wilson said they built two apart- ments in Columbia Heights, the same type of building, on 80 foot lots. Mr. Erickson said that there was a change made for multiple units in our ordinance, but presently under our ordinance, you cannot build more than three units. Mr. Wilson said that the building burned was a two family dwelling and was that way when he boughC it. He thought the house was 75 years old, maybe older. • • Mr. Larry Berg, representing Northco, stated tha�/he would be happy to answer any questions from the Council. / MOTION by Councilman Billings to adopt Res ution No. 70-1990, with the three stipulations attached as ibit A.
