PUBLIC PURPQSE SERVED BY REO.UIREMENT: Section 205.053, lA, lot area require- ment of 7500 square feet. Public purpose served by this section is to avoid the condition of over crowding of the residential neighborhood. Also to avoid excess burden on the existing water and sewer services. B. STATED HARDSHIP; Lot as platted is undersized. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIE[�J: Staff research and pictures indicate that there are several other houses built on s0 foot lots in this immediate area. This lot is serviced with sewer and water, as are most other 50 foot lots in the area. The lots on either side of 533 Glencoe are already developed. Unless there is some objection by the neighbors, Staff has no objection to this •variance request. • , Mr. Williams was at the meeting to present his request. Iie told the Board that he was a building contractor, and the lot as platted was undersized, He explained that no survey �aas available yet, but he wished to build a 26' X 38' house with no garage. He said that.most lots in that area were 5�'. Hir. Barna said the house to the East was new� and the house to the West vras an older home and had just changed hands. Iie also said there was no possibility of there ever being an alleyway. Chairwoman Wahlberg asked if this was a lot split, and Mr. Williams said it was not. She stated the City Code said at least one off-street parking stall should be provided, and Mr. Williams explained they required hard-surfaced driveways � but no garages on these lots, and said there were many homes in the area without garages. � Mr. Plemel stated he thought that new construction required at least a single- car garage� but rir. Wi,lliams said that was not the way the code read. Chairwoman Wahlberg commented that the ordinance was not clear, and only talked about 9,000 square foot lats. She said it stated that at least one off-street parking stall shall be required for each dwelling unit� and Mr. Williams said he believed that meant a blacktopped area� and that he thought anything less than.7��00 square feet did not require a garage. He stated he built on a 75 X 110' lot last summer and there was na requirement for a gara.ge. He added that the house to the east did not have a garage, and that was a new•one. . : rn � �� __ .. _ . _ .. , _ . ��.a 1 FRIDLEY APPEAIS COrIl�IISSION MEETING OF MAY 11, 1976 - PAGE 8 � Chairwoman Wahlberg sa.i.d that the ordinance also required that the parking stalls should not require an,y porti.on of the front�yard, and hir. Barna-stated he would be in favor of.building on this lot just to get the other people to clean up their property. Mr. Holden said the stall wauld have to be on the side of the house, and added that variances had been granted in the past �rithout garages on lots of this size. � . Chairtiroman zrtahlberg asked Mr. Williams if he was planning to put in a drive��ay, and he replied he was going to put in a haxd-surfaced ciriveway. Mrs. lrlahlberg said then it was clearly within the ordinance as it appears. Mr. Williams showed the�Commission a plan of the house he y�ould build, and Mrs. Gabel asked �ahat would happen if the garage was left on the glan, rir. ?�Tilliams said there was no way it would fit on the propert,y. 1•irs. Gabel said she was ver,y concerned about visual pollution. Chairwoman �7ahlberg asked if he had considered buildir►g a garage in the back yard, �a.nd rir, t�Iilliams saia that this house was se�ling far $30,000 without a garage and it z•.*ould be better to let the home own�r add the garage himself. Mr. Kemper asked Mr. .�Tilliams t�nen he planned on starting construction, and Mr. Williams replied 'as soon as he got the okay. Chairwoman Wahlberg asked if he had spoken directly to the neighbors on either side, and i�ir. ti�lilliams replied he hadn�t as he didn't think it was necessary. NIr. Holden said he had snoken to one of the neighbors and they didn't seem to have any objections. MOTION b,y 1�Ir. Plemel, seconded by r1r. Barna, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, a17. voting aye� the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Kemper stated his position was that he would like to see bui7.ding on these sub-standard 7.ots, but was concerned about the interpretation of the code. He added that he would like the City Council to be made aTaare of this request. 1�Srs.. Gabel agreed, and sa:d it should be interpr�ted more t�rroughl�r. Pir. Holden said that a possible cansiderati�n would be that since it is a small house there may not be any cars on the lot at a11, for i.nstance if a retired couple purchased it. Mr. Barna stated that the property owners behind his lot had built garages last year� which made the back of his lot a solid wall of garages. He said that this visually encroaches on the property directly behind theM. Chair4roman Wahlberg asked.if the Planning Commission should review this, and the Commission agreed that it should. MOTION by Mr. Barna� seconded'tiy Mr. Plemel, to grant the variance. b r 4A � � �� Chairwoman Wahiberg said they should make the point that their interpretation of the code as stated currently is that no garage is required� however, a parking area is required to the side of the house beyond the 35 foot setback. She suggested a motion to reauest the Planning Commission and any subcommissions that wish to address this situation, to review the subject of:garages on sub-standard lots. She stated the whole zoni.ng ordinance was to be reviewed in the near flzture� and this Commission should request specifi� guidelines on this. 3. � . , * FRIDLEY APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING OF MAY 11, 1976 - PAGE 9 . •�'� - . . . . � . , Mr. Holden sug�ested that they might be getting into a sticky area making this contingent on this particular request� because of the policy that had been set in the past allo�,ring structures with na garages. Mr. Kemper said that in this particular case the Administrative Staff Report did not address itself to this particular item, and the plans didn�t appear to be available. He added that he was concerned that the subject of garages on sub- standard lots be clarified in the code. Upon a voice vote, Chairwoman Mrs.�Gabel and Air. Kemper vot M4TION b,y Mr. Kemper, seconded b.y re�uirements for s'ingle or double unpaved driveways as the.y a�pl,y t b�r the Plannin� Commission and �n voting aye, the motion carried un Mr. Barna and Mr. Plernel vo� e motion caxried 3- 2. l�ir, Barna, that the subject of gara�es, and the reQUirements anv lot under 9L000 scuare fe otner subcommissions. Upon a nimously. ng aye; Pes and the aved or clarified e vote, all Chairwom2n Tnlahlberg stated that part of their concern in making this request i:s the number of �.0'.lots and s0� lots which are being buiZt on� and which potentially could be built on, without garages. She said this Comniission would like some guidelines. � Chairwoman Wahlberg asked Mr. Holden if the Inspection Department woul.d take a look at the driveU�a,y on the adjacent property to the East of 533 Glencoe, as it appears there i� a violation of the ordinance. 7.
