Co ADMINTSTRATIVE STAFF REVIEWs
A survey of houses on similar sized lots on East River
Road shows the following sized houses: 7155, 24' x 36';
7181, 24' x 28'; 7201, 24' x 32'; 7215, 25' x 41'• The
respective floor areas are 864, 672, ?68, ],-,025 square feet.
{Note that these are original�house sizes before any
additions}� The proposed building site is not bordered
immediately by any developed lots.
Mro Doyle, Mr. Holden, and the Appeals Commission reviewed
the proposed house plans.
Mr. Doyle explained to the Commission that f1r. 0'Quinn
was planning to 6uy the home through the MHFA Program which
was a program designed specifically for young people who
didn't have super incomes and were buying their first home.
He said that in this Program, the buyer was limited to a
maximum sale price of $37,500. -
Chairwoman Schnabel wanted to know how it would effect
the people if at the time they receive the loan they qualifi�ed
but then their incomes increase; and what if at a later date
the people built an addition onto their homes that would
increase the value of the home�
. ,d �kPPEALS COMMISSION �EETING — MAY 10, 1977 Page 15
c
��� Mr• Doyle indicated that the program had no provisions
to increase thQ house payments after the home had been
purchased. He said that this Program was not like the old
FHA 235 Program. He said �hat this Program was set up in
such a way thet it takes very, very responsible peoplea He
said that the people in the Program would not be going into
the homes with $D down•
Mr• Doyle explained to the Appeals Commission that the-
big problem that this Program had run into were two-fold:
a} Finding people that would fall into the income
bracket•
b} Finding some place where they could build the
homes in decent neighborhoods and still keep the
price down• �
�rs• Gabel indicated that she had talked to a realtor '
who was familiar with that Program and he had said that the
requirements for the Program were very s�rinqent and was
not an easily obtainable loan�
� Mr� Doyle indicated of all the people that apply for
a loan under this Program, about one in fifteen qualifyo
Mro Dayle indZCa�ed to the Appea].s Commission �ha'� the
proposed house would be 960 square feet� He said that the
lo't was no� as expers�ive as a typical Fridley lot• F1e
indicated that the proposed lot was valued at $7,000�
Chairwoman Schnabel said that she though-t the last
50 foot lot sold in Riverview Heights area was valued at
$12,000.
Mrso Gabel wanted to know how the home was to be.
located on �the loto She asked if th�re was going to be
space left for the building of a garage in the future�
Mr• Doyle said that space for a futttre garage was
going to be allowed for.
Mr• Doyle indicated that the home he proposed to build
was very �ypical to the homes in the Riverview Heights area•
Chairwoman Schnabel wanted to know how soon Mr• Doylea
intended to start building, if the requests were approved�
Mr• Doyle said that he hoped.to s�cart within the month•
Mr� Doyle indicated tF:at he felt that it would be the
buyers intent to build a garage in�the future�
d
�
APPEALS �OMMISSION f1EETING — MAY 10, 1977 Page 1E� ;
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that it was the City•s
main.concern with garages was to provide some type of storage
area for the accessory items that people accummulate in
addition to the cars• She said that in terms of visual
aesthetics it would be better to have a garage. She said
that over the past years the Commission had become aware
that wi�h the increase in costs, for some people it was not
financially realistic to put a garage on the house at the
time of constructiono
Mra Plemel wanted to know if Mr• Doyle was putting
in a paved driveway- �
Mro Doyle said that he would be putting in an asphalt
driveway along side the home.
Mr• Tomczyk of 3327 Pierce Street NE showed concern
about f�r� Doyle's plan to run the asphalt driveway from the
house alI the way to East River Road. He wanted to know
what Mr. Doyle was p].anning to do regarding the easement left
for Meyers Street.
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated �tha� at �he presen�c time
there appeared to be no plans to put in the street. She said
that it could be dependent on what the County planned to do
with East River Road.
Mr� Holden indicated that it seemed that the most
logical thing to do with this easement would be to make
it south yard area. �
Mr� Tomczyk said that t�hat would mean there�would be
about nine turnoffs from East River R oad•
Mr• Holden indicated that he agreed with the fact that
it would be nice to make I�eyers Street into an access road;
but he said that the question that was being considered was
relative to the house size and having a garage or noto
Chairwoman Schnabel agreed with Mr. Tomczyk that she
would like to see all the driveways onto East River Road
eliminated and try to put a service road of some type that
would be the ingress and egress on East River Road�
Mr• Tomczyk indicated that he owned lots 5, 6, 8 10
and he had no plans to develop these lotso -

�
Mr� Tomczyk felt that it was wrong to have all the
driveways onto East River Road� He thought it would look
nicer if a side road or service road of sQme type could be
put in and have only one access onto East River Road.
fM1r• Barna indicated ichat everybody in that particular
block would have to petition to the City to install a
service road-
There was much discussion regarding different ways
to go about getting some type of service road put into that
area•
In answer to a question esked by �Ir. Plemel, Mro Doyle
indicated thatc the actual position of the driveways would have
to be discussed with the future owners of the lots•
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that according to the �
code book, the paving required to provide a parking stall
must not be in the front yard.
Mr• Doyle indica�ed that the parking stall was beyond
the fron� yard, along side the house•
Mrs• Gab�1 asked Mr� 0'Quinn what his future plans
were regarding a garage•
Mr� 0'Quinn indicated that he did plan to build a
garag� in the future ard ichat he presenLly had one car•
Mr. Barna asked Mr� Doyle if he planned to landscape
and sod these lots-
Mr� Doyle said that landscaping would be the
responsibility of the owners•
Mrs• Gabel wanted to know if the price of the home
included appliances and carpeting•
Mr• Doyle said that it did not inelude the appliances;
but that he hed offered to sell �the buyers the appliances at
his cost. He said that the price did include carpeting in '
the livingroom, the hallway, and the three bedrooms• It also
included vinyl flooring in the kitchen, eating area, bathroom
and entry area•
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that the code required
Mr• Doyle to either seed or sod the proper�y� She said that
if he didn't, he would be required ta obtain another variance•
Mr- Barna indicated that the seeding or sodding could
be done either by the home owner or the builder — it just
would have to be done• .

Chairwoman Schnabel asked Mr• 0�'Quinn if he had anything
to add to the discussion•
Mr� 0•Quinn had nothing further to add.
Mr. Barna asked if Mr. 0'Quinn was aware of the traffic
problems on East River Road.
Mr. 0'Quinn indicated that he was very aware of the
traffic problems on East River Road.
There was more discussion regarding the MHFA loans
and the types of homes that qualified�
MOTION by Mro Barna, seconded by Mrs• Gabel, to close
the public hearing- Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously• The Public Hearing w�s declared
close at 10 : 25 P.�1.
Mr• Plemel indicated that he felt that this was a good
use of the property. He said that since the State was
encouraging this type of Program, he would like to have
Fridley have room for these homes.
Mrs• Gabel also felt that with the rising costs of
construction, it would be hard to deny someone the right
to own a home just because they could�not afford to build
the garage at that time• She said that she firmly believed
that the home owners would build a garage when it became
economically feasible.
�ir. Holden read to the Commission a section of the
Zoning portion of the City Code {2�5.],52, the General
area of Lot Requirements}•
Mrs. Gabel felt that that portion of the City Code
tied into the Housing Survey�that was conducted• It was
the intent to provide housing at different income levels.
She felt that this request presented an excellent opportunity
to do so.
Mr. Holden asked the Commission what their feelings
were on the Hillcrest Avenue Vacation situation, basically
how to proceed on it. Mainly, in regards to the fact that
Hillcrest Avenue was present on the land and what should be
done with it.
Mrs. Gabel pointed out that if the City was to put in
a road, it would cost the homeowners money.
There was much discussion on different ways to handle the �
idea of a service road�in regards to the fact that a
vacation request would be needed or not and how to go about
petitioning for some type of a solution to the problem of
having a direct driveway onto East River Roado
