(REQUEST BY MR. LARRY MILLER9 7889-91 FIRWOOD WAY N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55432). MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Wahlberg, to waive reading the public hearing notice. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Larry Miller was present to present the requese. Mr. Miller said he is requesting to build a 24 foot by 24 foot 2-car garage. He said he is requesting to pu� it 14 feet from the back lot line and 5.5 feet from the side lot line. He said he has a double frontage lot, between Firwood and East River Road, and the setback for the garage is-supposed to be 35 feet but he said he does not have�enough•area to position it according to Code. He said the garage will exit onto East River Road and the driveway is existing now. He said the Building Inspector was out to check the location of the garage in relation to the lot irons that were found and the Building Tnspector said the location was okay. Mr. Miller said the garage will;be in line with Che other garages on the street. Mr. Miller said he talked to Mr. Fischer, owner of the proper�y to the north, and Mr. Fischer had•no objections. Mr. Miller said there will be 11 feet between the proposed garage and Mr. Fischer's garage. Chairman Drigans stated the Code says 1? stalls for a double bungalow. Mr. � Miller said he only has 1 car and the tenant only has 1 car so they don't really need a 3 stall garage. Mr. Miller said when he talked to the City staff about this, they felt this was not to impoxtant. Mr. Miller stated he and his neighbor to the north use the same common driveway. He said he has talked to her about paving the driveway but that she can't afford Co pave her half. He said there are no other hard surface driveways in the f ` The'Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of Ma.rch �6, 1974 Page 2 �. neighborhood and he said most don't even have cru.shed rock. He said he felt crushed rock would be adequate and if he had to put in a hard surface driveway, • he would be the only one with one. Mr. Mattson stated that the staff felt that because of the neighbor, the Board could grant the variance with the stipulation that it might be put in at a la�er date. " Chairman Drigans asked what the width is of the common driveway that is on his property. Mr. Miller said the culvert is probably 10 feet wide and he has approximately 5 feet. Chairma.n Drigans said in his opinion, crushed rock cannot be restrained where you put it, because of �he kids picking it up and scattering it and also the cars scattering in into the street from the spinning tires. He said these rocks can be very dangerous on a busy street like East River Road where they can fly up and hit car windshields. Chairman Drigans asked if Mr, Miller had talked to his neighbor about the cost of paving. He said maybe she could affoxd to pave part of it this year and part of it next year. He said maybe Mr. Mi11er could make some arrangements to have it a11 paved and then have the neighbor pay him backe Mr.. Miller said he had not talked to her about how much she could afford and he added that if he had to pave, he would only pave his half of the driveway. He said his half would cost approxi.mately $700.00 for asphalt. He said he thought he could pave next year because of the expense for the garage this yea.r. Mrs. Wahlberg said she would like to see that the Code for the drivesaay is met within a certain period of time and �o see if Mr. Miller could work something out with the neighbor. Mr. Plemel said the Board can't force the neighbor.into paving her half of the driveway since she doesn't have a garage and she isn't asking to build one. Chairman Drigans asked Mr. Miller.hota long he has liv ed there. Mr. Miller said 4 yea.rs. Chairman Drigans ask.ed if any other garages have gone up in that time. Mr. Mi11er said there have not been. Mrs. Wahlbexg asked when the Gode requiring hard surface driveways was adopted. Mx. Mattson answered in 1969. Mr. Miller stated he felt the City should start cutting down on pav ing since oil is so hard to get and star�.conserving energy.• Mr. Plemel said he felt the Board should stay by the Code and maybe stipulate that the liard surface driveway be put in by 1975, si.nce the applicant has stated he thought he would be putting it in next year. Chairman Drigans stated the Board is concerned with the erushed rock going in�o the street and flying around. He said it inight be better to leave it as it is until it is paved instead of putting in the crushed rock. �Mr. Miller said he would rather leave it as it is until he can afford to pave it. He said the only reason.he suggested crushed rock was because Darrel Clark said the Board might be willing to go along with it but he said personally he would rather leave it as it is. ,,.. �• . .' 2. ,�The-Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcotmnittee Meeting of Ma.rch 26; 1974 Pa�e 3 Chairman Drigans asked if the City has been checking and following up on the � stipulations like this that have been put on construction. Mr. Mattson answered that the City has, especially on new construction. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if Mr. Miller t�tould be doing all of the construction himself. Mr. Mi11er said he will have it done but will be doing the finishing work himself. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Wahlberg, to receive the letter of no objection to the construction of the garage and waiver of the required survey, trom Mr. Clarence Fischer, 7893-97 Firwood Way N.E. Upon a voice vote, thare being no na.ys, the � motion carri.ed unanimously. Mrs. Wahlberg said she felt i`t was acceptable to reduce the setback from 35 feet to 1/+ feet to keep • the garage in line wiih. the others on East River Road. She said she is also willing to go along with the size of the garage. She said her main concern is that the driveway be paved within a reasonable period of time, preferably 1 year. Mr. Plemel said he felt that on new cons�ruction, the Board should stay with the hard surface driveway being put in within 1 year. MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Wahlberg, to reco�anend to the City Council, approval of the varia.nces fox the rear yard and of the parking stalls but ta omit the variance for the crushed rock driveway and to stipulate that a hard surface driveway be installed within 1 year from the date that the building permit is issued. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205e053, 4C, F'RIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCF THE REAR YARD SETBACK F'ROri 25 FEET TO 20 FEET, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTTON OF A DWELLING TO BE I,OCATED ON LOT le BLOCK 7. INNSBRUCK NORTH ADDITION_ THE SA1�ZE BEING 1412 MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel, to waive reading the public hearing notice. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Curtis Johnson was present to present his request. Mx. Ekberg, architect, was also present. � Mr. Johnson showed �he Board the survey of the lot showing the proposed house location and also a set of the�house plans. He e.�tplained when they worked on the plan they didn't realize they had to have a 25 foot setback in the rear yard. He said he thought they were told it only had to be a 10 foot setback. Mr. Ekberg said they have contacted the property owners to the south and to the west of this property and neither of them have any objections to the variance. Mr. Johnson said the house could be moved forward, and ask for a fxont yard variance, but he felt the 35 feet in front is more i.mportant than the rear yard. He said since this is a corner lot, the setback from the side street is a minimum of 172 feet according to Code, but they are proposing to set it back 40 feet. He said the ownex of the vacant lot to the south was pleased with this setback as the future dwelling on his lot will not have an obstructed front v:tew. He said there�are some trees on the lot that will be saved that are located in the xear yard and will be between the two properties. // � d� ' , � .

E, addressed the Council and explained the reason he was requesting the variance is because the driveway is on the property line between his and the adjoining lot. He explained the adjacent property owner to be a widow who does not have a garage and could not handle the expense of half of the driveway. He pointed out that due to the energy crisis, oi7 and the materials required for the installation of the driveway had increased in price and decreased in supply to the contractors. -• Mr. Miller advised the Council that Mr. Darrel Clark, Cormnunity Development Admin- istrator, had suggested to him to request the installation of the crushed rock rather than leave the drive with no surface at all, Mr. Miller said he would like . to,put in gravel with some binder in it, He explained the feelings of the Board of Appeals that the crushed rock would be spread onto East River Road and thrown about by the traffic. � Mayor Liebl said he would suggest the Council grant the variances, and also extend the time period for the installation of the hard surface driveway to two years because of a financial hardship. He pointed out that it is required by the City that all new constructions put in a hard surface driveway. He said this is important for the maintenance of the streets and sewers of the City. • Mr. M311er said he would be willing to put in some sort af stable material. He explained a neighbor had installed some material wfiich was not suitable ahd his snowblower picked it up. He said the same neighbor tried another material and this seems to be stable enough to not be picked up by the snowblower. Councitman Nee said he had also visited the site and this was on a very wet day and the present driveway was not soft, but, very firm. He said he would also want the driv�►vay paved someday, but he was happy io hear that there was a garage being built there. He continued saying he wouldnot want to add this financial burden to the property owner at the present time, Ne mentioned the drainage conditions to be such that the driveway would not drain into the street, and this would be no problem in tl�is area.
