The homeowner's request is for a variance to allow replacement of an existing dilapidated 10' X 36' deck. A 23', rather than a 40' setback from the bluff line would be required. If approved, the overall size of the deck will be reduced to 9' X 36, however, the homeowners do plan to build a sun/potting room over 162 s.f. (9' X18') of the new deck. I have attached a copy of the staff report prepared for the Fridley Appeals Commission. Once you've had an opportunity to review the report, I would appreciate your official response for inclusion with our staff report to the City Council. This item will be heard by the City Council on January 5, 1998. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 572-3599. Thank you. Sincerely: F FRIDLEY � v � Sco J.

If the variance is granted, we strongly encourage the City to impose conditions that require vegetative screening of the structure from the River and the opposite bank. Native trees and shrubs are preferred. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please feel free to contact Staff Hydrologist Patricia Peltier or me should you have questions.

We are writing in support of Karl and Margaret Schurr's request for a variance to allow a reduction in the setback required from the blufi line of 40 feet to 23 feet. We can think of no public purpose that would be served by denying the variance. The situation of the neighboring houses (7812 and 7824) do not provide for seeing any structure in the back yard of 7818 from the residence or decks. The bluff is steep and the back yard or deck is not visible from the river bank or adjoining park land. The only place that the deck is visible to the public is from the river itself or across the river. Those times of year when someone is likely to be on the river, the foliage is too thick to see the back yard. The request of Karl and Margaret Schun is reasonable in that it is compatible with the layout of their back yazd. If any member of the public would have a legitimate issue it would be from our address (7812) and, as we noted previously, the back ya.rd of 7818 is not visible from that location. We have a conflict on December 10`�, and do not plan on attending the Appeals Commission Meeting. If this appears to be a controversial issue, please let us know and we will rearrange our schedule. Please make this letter available to the members of the Appeais �ommissior,. Let us know if you believe that additional information is required. Thank you for your assistance with this issue. -, Sincerely, Wendy and Dave Sallman 7812 Alden Way Fridley, MN »�32 /� , J �._ `� ' � , , � /, � „ � � t� `G'?cC' 1.--.i��}��-�,%�``�� i 0 f7�1_1 D� � 1�111�ORTA101T IVt�SSAGE _ � �// p_' A.

If approved, the petitioners are proposing to remove an existing dilapidated deck and construct a finro-story sunroom/potting room and deck addition to the rear of the dwelling. The overall impact of the proposed deck and sunroom/potting room is 9 feet by 27 feet versus the existing 10 foot by 36 foot deck. The sunroom/potting room will occupy 9 feet by 18 feet of the addition. STATED HARDSHIP: Stated on application. SUMMARY OF ISSUES: Section 205.25.08.C.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires that all new structures and uses shall be placed not less than 40 feet from the top of the bluff line overlooking the Mississippi River. (See pages 3-4 for "Public Purpose':) The Overlay District for the Critical Area of the Mississippi River was adopted in 1977, one year after construction of the dwelling and existing deck. The Critical Area requirements state that all structures must be 100 feet from the ordinary high water level and 40 feet from the top of the bluff of the Mississippi River. The petitioners' proposal reduces the current impact of the existing deck. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has submitted a letter stating they do not object to the request; however, they desire additional plantings to screen the proposed construction from the river and properties across the river. Several neighbors submitted comments and letters of support. The proposed request is within previously granted variances. A variance to 5 feet was granted in 1990 for 7806 Alden Way. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION: As the request is within previously granted variances, staff has no recommendation for the Commission. If the Commission approves the request, staff recommends one stipulation. The petitioner shall work with staff to provide additional native plant materials along the bluff line.

If approved, the petitioners are proposing to remove an existing dilapidated deck and construct a two-story sunroom/potting room and deck addition to the rear of the dwelling. The overall impact of the proposed deck and sunroom/potting room is 9 feet by 27 feet versus the existing 10 foot by 36 foot deck. The sunroom/potting room will occupy 9 feet by 18 feet of the addition. SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: The property is located south of 79`h Avenue on Alden Way. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family, as are all the surrounding properties. The property is approximately 21,000 square feet in area. Located on the property is a 75 foot by 80 foot dwelling and a 24 foot by 32 foot attached garage. The dwelling and garage were constructed in 1976. Also, at that time, a 10 foot by 36 foot deck was constructed on the rear of the dwelling. ANALYSIS Code Section Section 205.25.08.C.(1) of the Fridley City Code requires that all new structures and uses shall be placed not less than 40 feet from the top of the bluff line overlooking the Mississippi River Public purpose served by this requirement is as follows: Project Summary • VAR #97-20, 7818 Alden way Page 4 � a. Protect and preserve a unique and valuable state and regional resource for the benefif of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the state, region, and nation. b. To prevent and mitigate irreversible damage to this sfate, regional, and national resource. c. To preserve and enhance its natural, aesthetic, cultural, and historic value for the public use. d. To protect and preserve the river as an essential element in the national, state, and regional transportation, sewer and water and recreational system; and e. To protect and preserve the biological and ecological functions of the Mississippi River Corridor. The petitioner is proposing to construct a finro-level addition with a sunroom on the upper level and a potting room on the lower level, as well as some additional deck area. The sunroom has direct access to the family room. The existing deck measures 10 feet by 36 feet. The dimensions of the proposed construction are 9 feet by 18 feet for the sunroom/potting room addition, a 9 foot by 6 foot deck to the north of the sunroom/potting room, and a small 4 foot by 7 foot deck area directly adjacent to the house which creates an L-shaped deck. This L-shaped deck will provide access to patio windows for cleaning purposes. The overall impact of the construction will be 27 feet in length and 9 feet in width, somewhat smaller than the existing 10 foot by 36 foot deck. The O-2 Critical Areas District was adopted in 1977 after construction of the dwelling. In order to comply with the district requirements, the petitioners' proposed addition would need to be moved 25 feet south of its proposed location. This will prevent access from existing doors and internal family/living room spaces. Any improvement to the rear of the dwelling would require a variance due to the Overlay District requirements. The Department of Natural Resources is required to review all variance requests within the Overlay District. The Department of Natural Resources has submitted a letter stating that they do not object to the request. They want additional native plant materials planted along the bluff line to provide additional screening of the proposed construction from persons on the river or on the opposite bank. The request is within previously granted variances. A similar request was granted to reduce the setback to 5 feet at 7806 Alden Way. Project Summary • VAR #97-20, 7818 Alden way Page 5 � STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION: As the request is within previously granted variances, staff has no recommendation for the Commission. If the Commission approves the request, staff recommends one stipulation. 1.

APPROVAL OF NOVEMBER 12. 1997. APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES: MOTI N by Ms. Mau, seconded by Mr. Jones, to approve the November 12, 1997, Appeals Commission minutes as written. � UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. INTRODUCTION OF NEW MEMBER: Mr. Hickok introduced the new member of the Appeals Commission, Mr. Blaine Jones. Mr. Jones is a resident of the City of Fridley and was recently appointed to the Commission by the City Council. PUBLIC HEARING• CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST VAR #97-20 BY KARL & MARGARET SCHURR: Per Section 205.25.08.C.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the setback of a deck from the bluff line of the Mississippi River from 40 feet to 23 feet to allow the reconstruction of a deck in the rear yard on Lot 9, Block 5, Pearson's Craigway Estates 2nd Addition, the same being 7818 Alden Way N.E. MOTION by Ms. Mau, seconded by Mr. Jones, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:33 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated the subject property is located at 7818 Alden Way and is along the Mississippi River. The request is to reduce the required setback from 40 feet to 23 feet along the Mississippi River bluff line. The overlay district for the critical area for the Mississippi River was adopted in 1977, one year after the Schurrs built their home and deck. • • APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING DECEMBER 10, 1997 PAGE 2 Mr. Hickok stated the home is on the west side of Alden Way and overlooks the Mississippi River. The homes on adjacent lots are positioned in such a manner that they will not have their view impeded by the addition. The additio.n is located at the rear of the house, centrally located on the home, and facing toward the River. Mr. Hickok stated the home to the south is positioned on a curve of the River, and the owners have positioned their home to take advantage of the view. It is possible that their view from a window at the front corner of the house will provide a view of the comer of the addition. The home to the north is set closer to the street. The addition should not be visible from the neighbor's home to the north. Mr. Hickok stated the code requires that new structures be placed not less than 40 feet from the top of the bluff line overlooking the Mississippi River. The purpose of this ordinance is to protect and preserve the unique and valuable state resource; to prevent and mitigate irreversible damage to this state, regional and national resource; to preserve and enhance this natural, aesthetic, cultural and historic value for public use; to protect and preserve the River as an essential element of the national, state and regional transportation system; and to protect and preserve the biological and ecological functions of the Mississippi River corridor. Mr. Hickok stated that, as constructed, the Schurr's home has a deck which is 22 feet from the bluff. The deck is now dilapidated and is in need of reconstruction. A new deck, six inches narrower, has been proposed. As proposed, the deck would have a 22.5 foot setback. The addition includes a two-level potting/sunroom combination which will occupy 175 square feet of the 275 square feet of deck/addition combination. The mass of the two-story building will not be visible from inside the adjacent home to the north and slightly visible from the home to the south. In the past, variances to 5 feet from the bluff line have been granted. Mr. Hickok stated that because the request is within previously granted variances, staff has no recommendation. If the Appeals Commission wishes to approve the request, staff recommends the following stipulation: 1. The petitioner shall work with staff to provide additional native plant materials along the bluff line. Mr. Hickok stated staff received a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Sallman in support of the request, a copy of which was included in the agenda packet. Staff also received a telephone call on December 2 from Mr. & Mrs. Samuelson who indicated the Schurrs are wonderful people and that they would like to see their request approved. Ms. Mau stated that it appears the majority of the proposed deck falls within the 40-foot setback. Mr. Hickok stated the bluff line curves at the back of the house and is 44 feet from the south corner of the deck but 23 feet from the north comer. The bluff line falls away from the majority of the mass. The new construction at the south corner will be 44 feet from the bluff line. The north comer of the deck is the point where it falls under 40 feet. Mr. Kuechle asked if the petitioner would need a variance to simply reconstruct the • • APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 10. 1997 PAGE 3 existing deck. Mr. Hickok stated, yes. Mr. Schurr stated the DNR asked that they provide additional native plant materials. They have maintained that bluff line and the slope in the same condition for 20 years. They have added native plant materials to prevent erosion. He saw no problem in continuing that approach. This is really not an addition. It is a replacement. It is not practical to move the deck further to the south to fully comply with the state regulation which passed a year after they moved in. They then would not have a proper entrances to the home from the replacement deck. Mr. Jones stated he stopped by the house and looked at the site. He read Mr. Hovey's letter about the native plants. It appears as though the bank where it drops off has native plants already. He was not clear where the native plants should be located. It seems pretty natural all the way to the River. He also noticed that, from where the doors come out, the only place for this is where it is proposed. The request seems reasonable. Ms. Schurr stated she keeps native plants. That is her hobby. She has columbine and early spring flowers. Today, she saw an eagle again. Mr. Schurr stated that is something that was not seen 20 years ago but they do see now. Mr. Jones stated he saw little evidence of erosion. He would think the DNR would be pleased with the way it is working. Mr. Schurr stated he did not know if the DNR looked at the site or if this is a standard response to such a request. Mr. Hickok stated that when there are proposals along bluff lines, the DNR looks at the staff report. Quite often they do come out to the site. He thought it was standard to tequire native plant materials. While this may not be required in the present state, whenever you do foundation work or any small excavation, you may disrupt a natural amenity. This stipulation would make sure that the natural state is restored. M TI N by Mr. Jones, seconded by Ms. Mau, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:47 P.M. Ms. Mau stated she thought the petitioners have shown they are interested in keeping that area as natural as they can. This will be an improvement for their neighbors to see rather than what is existing. She had no problem with approving the request. Mr. Kuechle concurred. He believed the hardship is that the ordinance came into being after the deck was built, and with a fairly minor incursion to ask them to not have a deck there would not be in keeping with the spirit of the code. He would like the stipulation included. He did not see that the stipulation would create any hardship for the petitioner. This is something that they want to do and it can be easily worked out. Mr. Jones concurred. L J L� APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 10, 1997 PAGE 4 M TI N by Ms. Mau, seconded by Mr. Jones, to approve Variance Request, VAR #97- 20, by Karl and Margaret Schurr, to reduce the setback of a deck from the bluff line of the Mississippi River from 40 feet to 23 feet to allow the reconstruction of a deck in the rear yard on Lot 9, Block 5, Pearson's Craigway Estates 2nd Addition, the same being 7818 Alden Way N.E., with the following stipulation: 1.
