(Request by Mr. Glen Ridgley, 6876 Channel Road N.E., Fridley, Mn. 55432.) � Anyone who desires to be heard with reference to the above matter will be heard at this meeting. VIRGINIA SCHNABEL. CHAIRWOMAN APPEAIS COMMISSION NOTE: The Appeals Commission will have the final action on this request, • unless there are objections from surmundi.ng neighbors, the City staff, or the petitioner does not agree with the Commission's decision. If any of these events occur, the request will continue to the City Council through the Planning Coa¢aission with only a reco�aendation fr�n the Appeals Coa¢nission. � ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6876 Channel Road N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIRENiIIJT: 5ection 205.053 (4B,5a) requiring a side yard width on a street side of a corner lot shall be not less than 17. 5 f eet. Public ,purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traff ic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: (Taken frc� application) "There are two reasons why I am applying for this variance: 1) The house is situated on the lot in such a manner that a free standing garage within ordinance limitations could not be built without destroying the bea.uty of the lot. 2) The single car garage now attached, could not be enlarged within ordinance limitations without causing other problems in the lmuse that would be undesixeable; such as inside lighting and tying in the roof lines." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIII�V: Field measurements show a boulevard of a6out 17 feet on the north side of the property. The proposed garage would be approximately 21.5 feet from the curbing on 68th Avenue. Severai Pine trees near the property line would have to be relocated or removed. The petitioner feels that alternative plans, such as for a detached garage or adding to the existing garage, would not fit into the building's appearance or structure. � ._. � . . ,. . .. ., .

Chairperson Sehnabel felt that the neighbors had many valid objections and she was trying.to keep all tlie arguments separate. She said that the Appeals Commission was only handling the request"- for a variance of the Fridley City Code to reduce the minimum requirement for a front yard setback on Lots�5,6,7,8,9,10 and the west 16 feet of Lot 11. She said that a future house planned to be built by Mr. Dahlberg kept coming up in the conversations and she �xplained that as an Appeals ,Commission they did have limited authority and they could only act on the requested variance, She said that the variance request would go onto City Council and they did have more. authority to act on these requests in addition that they have legal counsel which the Appeals Commission did not. � Chairperson Schnabel sa�d that she had mixed feelings.on the issue because the property had been platted with the intent that they would become home sites, She felt that when the�lotS were platted she would have questioned the advisability of accepting the plat. She said that someone should have been in �hat area and should have looked at the property and assessed if that was actually a buildable site. Mr. Barna said_that his main concern was with the steepness of the lot and the fact that the majority of the lot was at the creek level� He said that he couldn�t imagine situating the house on the ' edge of the sand hill which was on iop of clay which was movable. Mre Plemel sai�d that the rec�uest was for "a varianc� of the front yard setback and considering the number of feet involved, he didn't feel i�; v�ould be objectable. He said that if the soil borings indicated that the land would support a house� he did not object, Mre Holden said that Mr. Dahlberg would have to hi.re �omeone to ��� do the full core boring sample an.d pressure testing be�fore the building permit �uould be .issued. , - ' �lOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Barna, tha-� the Appea7.s ., Commissi,on recommend approval of the r�quest for variance of the Fridley City Code, Section 205.053,4,A, to reduce the minimum requirement for a front yard setbaek, from 35 feet�to 18'feet, to a1Tov1 the co.nstru,c�ion of a d�velling and garage on lots 5,6,7,8,9�10 and the west 16 �eet.of� lot 11� Block 8� Spring�Brook P ark Addition, except that part lying ' North and West of the center line of Spring Brook Creek, the same. being �.65 Liberty_Street NE,�Fridley� MN with the stipulatiqn�that full bore soil testing be done �before `the building pe�mit �ioul.d b.e � issued. . . .

He said that 'py so doing he would basically be squaring the house. He said there would no longer be�a �o� between the house and gara�e. In�ans�ver to a question by Mr. Plemel, Mr. Ridgley stated that a contractor �vould be doing the work. Mr, Holden suggested that Mr. Ridgley maintain the hip roof line of the house. Mr. Ridgley sai.d that h,� would talk to the �contractor. Chairperson,.Schnabel asked what he planned to do with the e�cisting evergreen trees, Mr. Ridgley said that of the five evergreens he would leave two an.d remove three. Mr._Ridgley said that adding onto the existing garage in the proposed manner �as the best solution. He said they tivould be able to keep �he existing lines of the house-and �vithout total3y ruining the useable yard area, - Mr, Plemel said that.there �rouldn't be any visual pollution or obstructipn to traffic.
