If approved, the petitioner will construct an addition and a two-car attached garage to the existing dwelling. The petitioner is also processing a special use permit to allow a second accessory structure over 240 sq. ft. STATED HARDSHIP: "To use existing foundation that is 6 feet from the property line to qualify for `This Old House' Program° SUMMARY OF ISSUES: Section 205.07.03.D.2.(a) requires a side yard setback of 10 feet between any living area and side property line. Public purpose served by this reguirement is to maintain a minimum of 20 feet befinreen living areas in adjacent structures and 95 feet between garages and living areas in adjacent structures to reduce the possibility of fire and to allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas around residential structures. The petitioner stated in his "hardship statement" that he desires to use the existing home and its foundation in order to qualify for the "This Old House" deferred tax program. The petitioner is proposing a substantial addition to the existing dwelling including a expansion of the wall which encroaches into the required side yard setback. As an altemative, the petitioner could reconstruct the dwelling which would then eliminate an opportunity for tax deferment. The petitioner must maintain 50% of the existing structure to qualify for the program. The dwelling is separated from the dwelling to the north by an Amur Maple hedge. There is approximately 35 feet befinreen this structure and the living area of the dwelling to the north. The request is within previously granted variances. No comments have been received from adjacent property owners. RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION: As the request is within previously granted variances, staff has no recommendation for the Appeals Commission. Staff, however, recommends one stipulation if the request is approved: 1. If the petitioner cannot maintain 50% of the existing structure, the structure shall be brought into conformance with the 10 foot setback requirement. APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION: The Appeals Commission voted 2-1 to recommend approval of the request to the City Council with one stipulation: 1. If the petitioner cannot use the existing foundation� the structure shall be brought into conformance with the 10 foot setback requirement.

If approved, the petitioner will construct an addition and a finro-car attached garage to the existing . dwelling. The petitioner is also processing a special use permit to allow a second accessory structure over 240 sq. ft. SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: The subject property is located on East River Road, north of River Road East Apartments. It is surrounded on all sides by R-1, Single Family zoning. Located on the property is a single family dwelling constructed in 1928 measuring approximately 24 feet by 36 feet. Also located on the property is a garage constructed in 1996 measuring 26 feet by 30 feet. The property is enclosed by vegetation along the north and west property lines. There are single family homes on "flag° shaped lots to the west adjacent to the river and to the north. The subject property is separated from the property to the west by evergreen trees and native vegetation. ANALYSIS: Code Section Section 205.07.03.D.2.(a) requires a side yard setback of 10 feet between any living area and side property line. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a minimum of 20 feef between living areas in adjacent structures and 15 feet between garages and living areas in adjacent structures to reduce the possibility of fire and to allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas around residential sfructures 4.03 n i"� Project Summary VAR #97-10, 6654 East River Road Page 4 The petitioner is proposing to construct a 14 foot by 30 foot living area addition to the existing dwelling. A 24 foot by 24 foot two-car attached garage is also proposed. As the new garage will be located in front of the garage constructed in 1996, an overhead door is proposed in the rear of the new garage to allow the drive-through of vehicles. The petitioner stated in his �hardship statement" that he desires to qualify for the "This Old House" deferred program (see attached handouts). This program applies to improvements made to homes 35 years of age or older. As the petitioner is proposing to substantially reconstruct the existing dwelling, allowing the foundation and north wall of the dwelling to remain allows the petitioner to qualify for the deferment program. The petitioner is required to maintain 50% of the structure. This request is similar to Paul Litwinczuk's request at 6291 Central Avenue where setback variances were granted to allow the existing foundation to be reused for a new dwelling. Mr. Lifinrinczuk, however, found that the foundation could not be used and built a new house meeting the setback requirements. If Mr. Foster cannot maintain 50% of the existing structure, it should be moved to meet the setback requirement. The petitioner does not propose to encroach any further than the original � encroachment. He is, however, proposing to fill in portions of the existing dwelling to provide closet space and a second bathroom for the completed home (see attached floor plan). The north wall of the dwelling is screened from the adjacent property to the north by a tall hedge composed of Amur Maples and lilacs. The dwellings are approximately 35 feet apart. The variance request is within previously granted requests. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION: As the request is within previously granted variances, staff has no recommendation for the Appeals Commission. Staff, however, recommends one stipulation if the request is approved: If the petitioner cannot maintain 50% of the existing structure, the structure shall be brought into conformance with the 10 foot setback requirement. APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION: The Commission voted 2-1 to recommend approval of the request to the City Council with one stipulation: 4.04 . • � � Project Summary VAR #97-10, 6654 East River Road Page 5 If the petitioner cannot use the existing foundation, the structure shall be brought into conformance with the 10 foot setback requirement.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:33 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated the Variance Request is to reduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 6 feet. The petitioner is proposing to construct a 14 foot x 30 foot addition to the existing dwelling located on the property. In addition, a 24 foot x 24 foot attached garage is �r�qose�+_ 4.12 r"'� ,P'`� APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 9 1997 PAGE 2 Ms. McPherson stated the property is located north of Mississippi Street and west of East River Road. The East River Road Apartments are located just south of the subject parcel. There are two single family dwellings located west of the petitioners properly. These are located on flag lots that abut the Mississippi River. There is also a single family home directly north of the subject property. The subject parcel and the surrounding properties are zoned R-1, Single Family. Currently located on the property is a detached garage measuring 26 feet x 30 feet and a single family dwelling. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioners existing dwelling was constructed in 1952. The petitioner is proposing to construct an addition to the dwelling unit and an attached finro- car garage. In the hardship statement, the petitioner states he would like to quality for the "This Old House" tax deferment program by using a p�rtion of the existing dwelling. This tax deferment program applies to homes which �are 3�� years old or older and allows the --� tax assessment for new additions and improvements to be deferred over a period of time so that the property taxes do not immediately increase as a result of the improvements. According to the State statute, a minimum of 50°/a of the existing structure must remain in order to qualify for this program. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner's proposal would not increase the existing encroachment. That portion of the dwelling that currently encroaches is along the north property line and is at 6 feet. The petitioner is proposing to extend the existing encroachment. The proposed floor plan clearly shows the north wall of the dwelling, the new closet which will extend the line of encroachment, the bathroom and addfion living space along the south portion of the existing dwelling, and the proposed two-car attached garage. Using an aerial photograph, there is approximately 35 feet befinreen the petitioner's dwelling and the dwelling to the north. They are also separated by a tall hedge of Amur maples. Ms. McPherson stated staff has no recommendation since the request is within previously granted requests. Staff does recommend the following stipulation: . � 1. If the petitioner cannot maintain 50% of the existing structure, the structure shall be brought into conformance with the 10-foot setback requirement. Mr. Kuechle asked, when referring to 50% of the existing structure in the stipulation, is that 50% of the area or 50°/a of the value. Ms. McPherson stated the statute states, "If more than 50% of the square footage of the house is tom down or razed, the original house is deemed to no longer exist and any subsequent improvements made to the remaining structure are considered to constitute the construction of a new house." As a result, the value of any improvements would not qualify for the exemption. Dr. �✓os st��-=d hz wanted to make sure he understood the stipulation. If the petitioner was coming in and was not trying to go under this exemption and was just trying to build a 4.13 � ,� APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 9, 1997 PAGE 3 closet on the north-side of J�i� h°�use, LLit seems that the stipulation is tied to the exemption and not anything about a hardsti p. Ms. McPherson stated Mr. Foster's hardship is based on the fact that he would like to use the existing house and foundation in order to qualify for the tax deferment program. The closest case for comparison is the Paul Litwinczuk case on Central Avenue. The City granted a variance to the side yard in order to allow the existing foundation and part of the existing house to remain. Once Mr. Litwinczuk dismantled the existing house and looked at the structural stability of the foundation, he found he was not able to use the existing dwelling. Therefore, he removed the entire dwelling and built a new house which conforms to the setback requirement. Dr. Vos asked if part of the stipulation is a protection for that. Ms. McPherson stated, yes. Mr. Foster stated the house was built in 1928. It appears that a building permit was taken out in 1952 for a small addition to the house. He wants to use the existing foundation. He has had the foundation inspected and it is good. He saw no reason to take out the existing foundation and start over. He did not know how much of the above ground house is up to standard, and he won't know that until they start tearing it apart. Mr. Foster stated he talked to a number of people at the County about the `This Old House" program who talked to people at the state, and they are not sure that he witl qualify for the program because of the size of the addition. The square footage will be very close. If he puts the upstairs loft on half, he has not heard if they would qualify. He did not know if the second floor square footage was considered as part of it. The house is 69 years old. If it is less than 70 years old which it is by 3 months, then it only qualifies for 50%. If over 70 years old, it qualifies for 70%. He would like to use the foundation that he has, and possibly the north and east wralls. Other parts may not be useable. Some of the floor joists are 2 x 4's and he would like to bring those up to standard. He will not know untit they start tearing the house apa�t. Mr. Foster stated that if he does not meet the 50% in the stipulation, then he will have to tear out the foundation because the foundation is 6 feet from the property line. Depending on the difference in cost, it may keep him from building. He wants to use the foundation, because the foundation is half of the house. He will try to use as much of the old house as he can without adding a lot of extra expense. It is something that is going to upgrade the neighborhood and help the community. The tax deferment is important but it is secondary. It is more important to have a house that is safe to live in. Dr. Vos asked if the petitioner had discussed his plans with the neighbor to the north. Mr. �oster �-+�te�+ he talked to the neighbors across the street and behind. They did not have a problem it. He has talked with the neighbor to the no�th a few times. There is a 4.14 �""� � , APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING JULY 9 1997 PAGE hedge between the properties that is pretty well filled in. He cannot see the neighbor's house to the north. Dr. Vos asked if the neighbor to the �orth was 35 feet away. Ms. McPherson stated, yes. The dwelling to the north has a detached garage to the rear. MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, 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. Beaulieu stated #hey could say something in the st'rpulation �bout having to comply with the setback if they cannot use the existing foundation. Dr. Vos stated the stipulation does not say anything about the old house exemption. It mostly fits because of the 50%. Mr. Kuechle stated that is the standard rule. If something is damaged or whatever to 50% of the value, then it must be brought into compliance. Dr. Vos stated he did not know what to do with the stipulation. Mr. Kuechle stated he thought it could stay as it is. The petitioner is asking for the variance because he wants to come under the `This Old House program". The rule in the City is that if it is 50% or more damaged� it must be brought in compliance. Under that basis, the stipulation should stand as is. Ms. Beaulieu stated the petitioner is saying he does not know if he going to qualify, and he wants to use the existing foundation as the reason or hardship. Dr. Vos stated that if the petitioner is not thinking about qualifying for that program and wanted to put in that closet, he did not think the Appeals Commission would say he would need 50% of the house. It seems as though they are tying it to the addition. Mr. Kuechle stated the general rule is, if the house is damaged or replaced to 50% or more of its value, it then must be replaced. Ms. McPherson stated the nonconforming section of the City Code states that if a property is damaged to more than 50% of its value by an act of God that it must then be brought into compliance. Dr. Vos stated they were talking about 50% of the square footage. Ms. McPherson stated the state statute talks about the area of the dwelling. 4.15 / \, �' \ APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 9,1997 PAGE 5 Ms. Beaulieu stated that if there is going to be a stipulation, it should say something to the effect that, "if the house does not qualify under the state's definition for the This Old House' program, then it should be brought into conformance". Dr. Vos agreed. Otherwise the City will have to make a determination of whether or not it is 50%. In general, he supports the request but the question is what to put in the stipulation. Ms. Beaulieu stated she did not think they should use that stipulation. If the petitioner can use the foundation, that is an existing condition; it is 35 feet from the other house and there is a barrier. Mr. Kuechle stated that if the petitioner is going to tear the house down beyond 50%, • moving that wall out four feet is not a great expense percentage-wise. Dr. Vos stated the hardship is not based on economics. It is based on the conditions of the properly, and he would consider the foundation a part of the property. Mr. Foster stated that regarding the existing foundation, the Commission had talked about moving the north wall in 4 feet. He would then have to move the rest of the house o�er 4 feet as well. That would require taking out the landscaping. Then he is too close on the south end so he would have to revamp the plans to make it fit. If he had an extra 4 feet of yard, it would not do him any good because he has so much brush there. There are mature trees and shrubs and he does not want to take those out. Ms. Beaulieu stated this is also a narrow lot. MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Dr. Vos, to approve Variance Request, VAR #97- 10, by Kari Foster, to reduce the side yard setback ftom 10 feet to 6 feet to allow the construction of a 14 foot by 32 foot addition on that part of Lots 7& 9, Revised Auditor's Subdivision No. 23, generally located at 6654 East River Road, with the following stipulation: 1. If the petitioner cannot use the existing foundation on the north side, then the structure shall be brought into conformance with the 10 foot setback requirement. Ms. Beaulieu stated she can see a hardship. It is existing. It is not interfering with anything. The lot is narrow. The house is 35 feet from the neighbor. UPON A VOICE VOTE, BEAULIEU AND VOS VOTING AYE, KUECHLE VOTING NAY, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED BY MAJORITY VOTE.

N.E. FRIDLEY, MN 55432 •(612) 571-3450 • FAX (612) 571-1287 Dear Homeowner, The State Legislatu�°e, in its 1993 session, passed a law �o exempt from the property tax all or a pQrtion of the value of improvements made to homes 35 years of age or older (Article 5, section 13 of the Omnibus Tax Bill). This exemption appiies to improvements made to homesteads any time during the ten-year period beginning January 3, 1993 and ending January 2, 2003. The exemption may be applied to no more than three separate improvements made to the house and garage. The exemption for the value of an improvement remains in effect for 10 years beginning with the initial asse�sment year in which the im�rovement contributed to the value oi the house or garage. After the ten year period has expired, the exempt portion is reduced each year by one-fifth -- or 20 percent and added back into the taxable value of the property. By the end of the fifteenth year the full value of the improvement is subject to the property tax. Once an improvement has been designated for exemption, it cannot be repealed or replaced by a later improvement. Attached is an application.for this exemption. To find out if your new improvement qualifies please fill in the areas markecl by the X on the application and return to the City of Fridley, Assessor's Department. If you have any questions, please phone us at 573-3537. Sir�cerely, Fridley Assessor's Office 4.11 DORTOH94 �� ,`� Exemption From The Property Tax Of Improvements Made To �-Iomes 35 Years Of Age Or Older Read the following information before completing the application for exemption from the property tax of improvements made to homes 35 years of age or older. Minnesota law encourages property owners to restore or renovate their older homes. This la��, commonly referred to as "This Old House" exempts from the propem� tax all or a portion of the value of improvements made to homes 35 years of age or older. In order to be eligible for exemption, the property must meet the follo�ving three criteria: 1. Property must be 35 years of age or older at the time the improvements commence. 2. Property must be receiving the homestead classification. This includes property classified as residential homestead (including duplexes and triplexes) blind/paraplegic veteran/disabled homestead and agricultural homestead. Relative homesteads are eligible for the exemption. � 3. The total market value of the property must be less than $150,000 (residential: land and buildings; agricultural: house/garage/1 acre). In special circumstances, a property �vith a total market value of $1�0,000 or more but less than $300,000 may qualify for the exemption. In these instances, your assessor �vill help you determine iiyour property is eligible for the exemption. Properties �vith a total market value of �300,000 or more do not qualify for the exemption. If }�our property is a condominium and your living unit is receiving the homestead classification,-any improvements made to the unit would qualify for the exemption. Improvements to common areas are not eligible. If your property is a duplex or triplex and it is receiving the homestead classification, improvements made to any portion of the property qualify for the exemption from the property ta�. If your property is used as a homestead and for a non-residential use, the exemption applies only to improvements made to the residential portion of the property receivi�g the homestead classification. For example, if your property is used both for a residence and for a business, the e�emption applies only to the improvements made to the homesteaded residential portion of your property. :::..:�.::.:�:.:.;:.. _ :.:..;>;.;.:,;.;�:::;. : �::: . - .:�::.::::.;:::::..:� ::.::.:.:.:...;:::::::::.:::.;�:.::.;. ,,::.;.::::..;:::.:: �, :::>::;::;:::;:>::>:: . . :..:: .:«>:::>::::::::>::::>:::: ��E.S �,?�` ��'R�7VEM�1VT5 ��TA�' U�LY.F'Y .�O�i'i"T�E ��MPC�O.�i � . ... .. ... .:. . .: ... . .; : -: ................................................................ .... ................ ............ ...... ..... . .................. .. . ....Q.. ....... . ..... ...... ......... ..... . ................. ...... . ......... ....... .................. . ..... .....:....::.:...

This includes such improvements to the site as: construction of a fence, construction of a drive�;�a}�, installation of a la�ti�n sprinkler system, installation of a s�i�imming pool or tennis court, landscaping of the grounds, agricultural buildings. If more than 50 percent of the square footage of a house is torn down or razed, the original house is deemed to no longer exist, and any subsequent improvements made to the remaining structure are considered to constitute the construction of a new house. As a result, the value of an�� improvements �i�ould not qualify for e�.emption. .

There is a limit to the dollar value of the improvement which may be exempted. The limit depends on the age of the property. Houses that are less than 35 years of age do not qualify.

Houses that are 70 years of age or older are eligible to ha�ve the total value of any improvements etempted up to a maYimum of $�0,000.
