(�EST BY MR. GORDON R. DRAKE, 7226 RIVERDALE ROAD, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.) —'- MOTION by Gabel, secanded by Plemel, to waive reading the public hearing notices_ Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried: Mx. Drake was present to present his requests. �Chairman Crowder felt the Board could consider all three requests together as the lots are adjacent to each other and the same variance is being asked on all three. Mr. Drake explained these are six 25 foot lots that he would like to divide into three 50 �'oot building sites. Mr. Drake showed the Board drawings of houses that he could position according to Code on a 50 foot lot without other variances. He said he has built houses on other similar lots on Glencoe Street that he received lot area variances on. The drawings showed a 864 square foot split entry type dwelling, a 792 square foot split entry-attached garage type dwelling, and a 1056 square foot rambler type dwelling that Mr. Drake could construct on these � lots without other variances. Mr. Drake said he does own two other building sites on Glencoe that have lot area variances that he has not built on yet. He said they would like to build four or five dwellings this summer and fill up the neighborhood. Chairman Crowder stated that since Mr. Drake has been before the Board before, he has probably been asked this question; why not divide the lots into two building sites instead of three. Mr. Drake answered that it is a question of economics. He said to build his house in the $27,000 range,. the.land cost has to be quite low, otherwise, it is not economically feasible to build in this area. He said for what the construction cost,s him, and to sta.y on a competitive basis, you would have to build to large a house for the neighborhood if he had to split the lots into two building sites. He said the neighborhood is basically made up of 2 or 2'� lots per site. He said the sewer lines are stubbed in on the two lot building site basis. Chairman Crowder stated he understands then that the lots are flat so they are buildable and he wondered if Mr. Drake had talked to any of the adjoining property owners about his proposals. Mr. Drake stated there will be no problem in building a nice home in this area, that will pay, and still improve the neighborhood. He a The Minutes of the Board of A eals Subcommittee Meetin of April 9, 1974 , Page 3 said people tend to be better housekeepers when they have garages. He added he has had personal conversations with the property owner to the east, Mr, Bixler, and he had no objections to the construction. He said he felt the adjacent property owners are interested in seeing the neighborhood fill up. Chairman Crowder asked if there are buyers for these lots yet. Mr, Drake said there are not but they are going to set them up for F.H.A. financing so they will have that avenue to sell them on. MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mrs. Gabel stated she could see no objection to the variance as the whole neighborhood is' made up of 50 foot building sites. Mr. Plemel stated if these lots were in oth�r areas of Fridley, he would rather see the'lots split into two building sites, but this �eighborhood has basically small lots so he could see no objection. Chairman Crowder said he had no objections as the variances would not be hurting the neighborhood and Mr, Drake feels he can build on the lots without any other variances. MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, approval of the variances to reduce the lot area from 7500 square feet to 5500 square feet for all three requests. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. 5�.• A REQUES� FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 214 055, 3, FRIDLEY SIGN ORDINANCE, TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM SIGN AREA OF.AN AREA IDENTIFICATION 5IGN FROM 36 SQUARE FEET TO 68 S�UARE FEET, TO ALLOW THE ERECTION OF AN AREA IDENTIFICATION SIGN TO BE LOCATED •ON LOTS 13 THRU 15, BLOCK 2, COMMERCE PARK ADDITTON, THE SAME BEING 7362 UNI�IERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESpTA. (REQt7EST BY SIGNCRAFTER'S, 13 - 77TH WAY N.E., FRID,LEY, MINNESOTA.) MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to waive reading the public hearing notice. Upon a voice vote, there being no'nay.s, the motion carried unanimously: Mr. Charles Peugh was present to present the request. Mr, Peugh stated this sign is for an office building which has a certain amount o.f names to put on the sign. He said the main section of the sign, 3 feet x'12 feet, gives the name of the building, and the one side section,. 4 feet x 4 feet, is for the main tenant, and the other side section, 4 feet x 4 feet, will be used to list the other tenants in the building. Mrs. Gabel asked how many other tenants they expect to have. Mr. Peugh answered that they have allowed 10 lines on the sign as there are 10 units to rent in the building. Chairman Crowder asked how they would cope with more tenants. Mr. Peugh answered they would have to redo that section of the sign to make the letters smaller as they don't intend to have any other signs. Chairman Crowder asked Mr. Mattson why the Code states two different sign sizes for a free sta.nding sign (48 square feet) and an area identification sign (36 square feet) in this zoning district. Mr. Mattson read_ aloud the Code discription of an area identification sign and stated the question as to whether this�sign s � � , -� �., •- RE:GULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 15, 1974 PAGE 4 MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the minutes of the Building Standards- Oesign Control Subcommittee Meeting of April 4, 1974.

Ne said the plans call for one house with a garage and ta�o without garages. He said he hoped the contractor would consider the addition of garac�es to the other i:wo planned home constructions. He explained each of the three houses would be built on two 25 foot lots. He further explained there are no requirements that a garage be built with the construction of the homes, but the recommendation of the City administration would be that this is done at the present time. Mr. Gordon R. Dra4:e, 7226 Riverdale Raad, applicant, addressed the Council and explained that the three homes would be about the same in price, even though one did have a garage. He said ihe other two homes would be slightly larger. He pointed out there would be enough ar-ea remaining to construct a detached garaga on the parcels for these two homes. C�uncilman Utter asked if the placement of the houses would be so that if at a later date the home ov�ner would desire a gara�e, would it be possible to constr�ct one.

He read the stipulations aloud to the Council and audience. The City Manager asked if there is a representative from Woodcrest Baptist Church present and there was no resporse. He said there are some questions concerning this request. He explained this was to be a large expansion to the present building and there would be a drainage problem. He said there has been and could be a problem with the banks washing out. He said the • second concern is the dedication of a walkway-bikeway easement. He said he would recommend approval of the request with the Administration working out the° aforementioned problems with the applicant. Mayor Liebl asked if the questions presented in the statement by the City Manager would be presented in the form of stipulations number five and six. The City Manager recommended this be done. .

He said the homes would be approximately 1,000 square feet and the plans would allow the construction of a one and a half size garage also. - Councilman Nee asked if it would be possible to build a double garage at these two locations. ��Ir. Drake answered it could be built, but it would be almost impossible with the limited radius to gain access to both stalls of the garage. He explained with this size lot a smaller size would be more feasible and would p►•ovide for one car and adequate storage area. The City 1�1anager said the Code does require off-street parking area on a hard surface driveway. He explained the variance would allow the construction on a smaller area than required in the City. He further explained with the total parcel of land planned for the development of three structures, it is the normal circumstance to provide two homes. Ne commented, maybe, the Council should request the contractor to add the garages on all three locations. Mayor Liebl said this would prov�de a greater density than in oiher residential areas, but would conform to the constructions in this area. He said he wQUld hecommend the request be approved because the construction of the $29,000 , homes would be an asset to this area. He added, he would encourage the applicant to install a garage on all three parcels. Mr. Drake said the plans for construction are not firm plans; they could be changed. It would be possibie to construct smaller homes with the addition oiF the garages. He said as planned at the present time, all of the homes would have hard surface dr�ives and some would have garages. Mr.. Drake stated two of the lots are 50 feet vaide and one is 622 feet wide. Mayor Liebl asked the Ward C�uncilman, Councilman fVee, how-he felt about the request. Councilman �Vee said he agreed with the suggestions of the City Manager in that garages should be added, but he would recommend installation of double garages. Mr. �rake again stated it would be physically possible to install the double garages, but it would be very difficult to get into them. Councilman Nes'asked what amount of additional money would have to be put into the house price if the garages were added. Mr. Drake replied this would be from $2,500 to $3,000. MOTION by Councilman IVee to concur with the recommendation of the Board of Appeals and approve the variances as requested by Mr. Gordon Drake, for 548 Glencoe Street, N.E., 546 Glencoe Street N. E., and 538 Glencoe Street N. E., to reduce the minimum lot requirement from 7,500 square feet ta 5,500 square feet. Seconded by Councilman Uti;er for discussion purposes. Councilman Utter asked if it vrould be possible to relocate the plans for the homes using the plan for abutting driveways, this way allowing more usable space and area for a larger garage. He said both of the drives would be together and not located next to the other's bedroom windows. Mr. Drake said the plans he was presenting at the present meeting were just plans and ti�ey were not concrete. He said the plan for placement could be changed. He said it would be difficult to pui: in attached garages, but he would try to install the single detached garages wherever possible. _ Councilman Starwalt asked if a hard surface driveway would be installed. The City Manager said this would have to be done and this has been provided for by ordinance. Tu� City I�anager said he would like the plans to call for the best possible type of construction and he ��ould �aork with the applicant for the change in plans for the most feasible positioning of the proposed consi:- ruction. • UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye,;layor Liebl decl�ared the motion Carried unanimously.
