CITI�OF FRIDLEY PROJECT S�MMARY DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The request by the petitioner, Dave Ryan, is to grant a variance to: (1) ailow an accessory stru�ture in the front yard; and (2} reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 32 feet (Option A, attached). If the variance is approved, a 24 ft. by 24 ft. detached garage would be constructed. SUMMARY OF ISSUES: The subject property does not have a garage at this time. In order to sell the property, it has been determined that a garage is required. There are altematives which would a11ow construction of a garage on the property without a variance. The variance requested above is within previously granted requests. APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION: The Appeals Commission considered an additional request: To reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 18 feet (Option B). A buyer interested in the property requested this variance. They withdrew their request after the Appeals Commission meeting. The Appeals Commission was unable to make a recommendation to the Council. The motion to approve the variance to 18 feet failed on a tie vote. CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: As the request to reduce the variance from 35 feet to 18 feet was withdrawn, the Council is to consider the following request: 1. To allow an accessory structure in the front yard; 2. To reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 32 feet. The request is within previously granted variance requests; staff has no recommendation. One stipulation is recommended: 1. The accessory structure shall be architecturally compatible with the dwelling. I 18.01 I ,� _ t ...

If the variance is approved, a 24 ft. by 24 ft. detached garage would be constructed. SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY The subject parcel is located on Hartman Circle north of Rice Creek and Mahnomen County Park. Located on the property is a single family dwelling which was constructed in 1966. The dwelling was constructed without a garage. In 1969, a 16 ft. by 32 ft. addition was added to the dwelling. In 1974, a tool shed was constructed. In 1985, the property owners undertook an erosion control project for the banks along Rice Creek. ANALYSIS: The dwelling on the subject parcel is architecturally unique when compared to adjacent dwellings in the neighborhood (see enclosed article as a point of interest). No garage was constructed with the original dwelling, and the owners have used a bituminous parking area since 1966 for the parking of vehicles. The Appea{s Commission is being asked to review two requests in conjunction with this variance. Option A proposes a detached 24 ft. by 24 ft. accessory structure placed 8 feet from the dwelling. Option B, requested by one of the potential buyers, proposes a 24 ft. by 30 ft. accessory structure attached to the dwelling, reducing the setback to 1 S feet. Staff has developed Option C which eliminates all variances. 18.03 .F-- . , �Pro�ect Summary • VAR #97-02, 191 Hartman Circle Page 4 Gode Section for Accessorv in the Front Yard Section 205.04.05.B of the Fridley Zoning Code requires that accessory buildings and structures shall be located in the rear and side yards oniy. Public purpose served by this requiremerit is provide desired front yard space to be used for green areas and to add to the attractiveness of a residential district. Option A proposes a 24 ft. by 24 ft. detached accessory structure. This structure is proposed to be located 8 feet from the dwelling. If the setback is reduced to 3 feet, the structure would be considered "attadied' by the Zoning Code; therefore, no variance would be required. Also, relocating the stnx�ure 3 feet from the dwelling unit would move the structure out of the setback area which would also eliminate the need for a front yard setbadc variance. In Option B, the accessory structure is attached. It is then considered part of the main structure and would only need to meet the front yard setback requirements. Option C attaches the accessory structure to the dwelling and eliminates the need for both variances. Code Section for Front Yard Setback Per Section 205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires a front yard setback of not less than 35 feet. Public purpose of this requirement is to allow for off-street parking without encroaching on the public right-of-way and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the building "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. The petitioner has requested a reduction in the front yard setback of up to 18 feet. In Option A, if the detached accessory structure is relocated closer to the dwelling, no variance would be required. In Option B, if the accessory stru�ture is attached at the front of the dwelling, the setback would be required to be reduced from 35 feet to 18 feet. A vehicle could be parked in front of the garage in this location without encroachment into the right-of-way. This request is within previously granted variances; however, an option exists to attach the stru�ture to the dwelling which would not require a variance. Option C attaches the accessory structure to the dwelling without encroachment into the setback area. 18.04 r� , ♦ :� . � � Project Summary - VAR #97-02, 191 Hartman Circle Page 5 � STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION: As the request is within previously granted variances, staff has no recommendation regarding the request. If the Appeals Commission chooses to approve the request, staff recommends one stipulation: 1. The accessory structure shall be architecturally compatible with the dwelling. APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION: The Appeals Commission was unable to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the request. The motion to approve the variance to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 18 feet failed on a tie vote. There are two options which do not require variances. STAFF UPDATE: The buyer, whose proposal is depicted in Option B, has withdrawn the request. The remaining variance request, therefore, is to: 1. Allow an accessory structure in the front yard; and 2. To reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 32 feet CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The request is within previously granted variance requests; staff has no recommendation. 18.05 � 1 ST NORTHEAST SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE To Whom It May Concem: � 951 HILLWIND ROAD FRIDLEY, MN 55432 BUS. (612) 571-1010 FAX (612) 571�565 We are proposing a 24 x 24 garage as indicated on the survey. The door would face East so the North and East walls would have shake siding to compliment the exterior of the existing structure. The basic structure would be 2 x 4 wood frame on a concrete slab with a 16 foot door and a service door on the South side nearest the existing structure.

BY DAVID RYA�, Cn� r��/ELL BANKER: Per Section 205.04.05.B of the Fridley Zoning Code, to allow an accessory structure in the front yard; and Per Section 205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 18 feet, to allow the construction of a two-car garage on Lot 23„ Block 2, and that part of Lot 24, Block 2, lying westerly of a line beginning at the northwest comer of Lot 24; thence to southwest comer of Lot 24, Sandhurst Addition, the same being 191 Hartman Circle N.E. T N by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:36 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated the request is for 191 Hartman Circle which is located west of East River Road and north of Mississippi Street. The request is unusual in that there are three options for the Commission to consider. Ms. McPherson stated option A is the original proposal as made by Mr. Ryan. The request is for two variances. The first is to allow an accessory structure in the front yard 18.15 ' • • APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 26, 1997 PAGE 2 and, second, to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to a maximum of 18 feet. The construction of a 24 foot x 24 foot detached garage is being proposed. Ms. McPherson stated the subject parcel is located adjacent to Manomin Park. A drainage and utitity easement runs across a portion of the property, and a storrnwater pipe is located within that easement so that portion of the parcel is not buildable. The petitioner's option is to construct a detached garage in front of the dwelling unit. There is currently no garage on the site. A bituminous parking area is directly off the street in the northwest comer of the site. Under option A, a detached garage would be constructed approximately 8 feet from the dwelling and a driveway would be constructed in front of the house. The setback required for this option would be reduced to 32 feet from 35 feet. Ms. McPherson stated option B is being requested by an interested buyer. The buyer is interested in adding a garage directly onto the dwelling unit in the north and east corner of the dwelling unit. The request for the structure in the front yard would be eliminated because the garage is now attached to the dwelling unit itself. However, in this configuration, the setback is reduced to 18 feet from the required 35 feet. Ms. McPherson stated option C, proposed by staff, is to attach the garage to the dwelling to the north and west portion of the dwelling unit with the garage exiting toward the northwest corner of the site. This option would require no variance. However, there are some questions with the stnactural connecction befinreen the dwelling and garage which may not make this particular option feasible. Ms. McPherson stated the variances as requested are within previously granted requests; therefore, staff has no recommendation. If the Appeals Commission chooses to approve the request, staff recommends one stipulation: 1. The accessory structure shall be architecturally compatible with the dwelling. Mr. Kuechle stated the footprint on the plot layout is not the same as the actual structure. Ms. McPherson stated there was an addition. The sunrey is the actual as-built survey of the site as it exists today. The original house was constructed in 19fi6 and an entry area was added in about 1969. Mr. Kuechle stated that in looking at the floor plan of the existing house, the fireplace chimney sticks out but this does not show on the survey drawing. This is very confusing. - Ms. McPherson stated the survey is the at-grade plan. There is a roof which should cor�espond to the line from the fireplace. Mr. Ryan could answer that question. Mr. Kuechle asked the width of the boulev�.16 • u APPEALS COMMISSION MEETIN ,�EBRUARY 2fi, 1997 PAGE 3 Ms. McPherson stated the boulevard appe�ars to be approximately four feet. Mr. Ryan stated they are working with Mrs. Belgum to help her market the house. The one thing he realized when he first visited the property was to figure out a way to have a garage in order to sell the property. They went through the survey. Once they discovered the storm sewer easement, they realized why a garage had not been built before. They were assuming that this was the logical place for a garage but there is no space there with the easement. They came up with this idea after talking with six prospective buyers who were interested in the home. They are trying to get a variance so he can tell p�ospective buyers they wiN be able to buitd a garage. Dr. Vos stated option A proposes a detached garage eight feet from the house. What is the reason for not putting it against the house? Mr. Ryan stated a detached garage is the least expensive garage to build. In order to attach the garage, one would have to do some remodeling. With stafPs recommendation and their placement of a service door, there is now a stairway to the loft. If that became a service entrance, one may lose access to the loft or would have to redo the stainroay to the loft. It could be done, but it would be more costly. Dr. Vos stated option B would put the garage to the other side. Mr. Ryan stated that option is a signficant remodeling of the house. There is a specific buyer that submitted that option. They would have the intention of remodeling the house and putting another story on the house. This would make the house significantly more expensive than what is there today. Dr. Vos stated that if he understood this correctly, this option has the biggest variance request of the options. Ms. McPherson stated this was correct. The Commission could choose to recommend only the variance request of three feet. Dr. Vos stated option B is to reduce the setback to 18 feet. That is the one that is presented in the request. Ms. McPherson stated, yes, that is because that is the greatest extent. They presented the accessory in the front yard as option A and also the greatest possible encroachment as presented in option B. Dr. Vos stated option A is to allow an accessory structure in the front yard and option B. is to reduce the setback to 18 feet. Ms. McPherson stated, yes, although there is going to be a minor encroachment with option A as well. 18.17 � ' • � APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 26,1997 PAGE 4 Mr. Ryan stated that in speaking for Mrs. Belgum, option B is the only option with a buyer attached. The other options would provide her with more marketing options. Ms. Mau asked where the driveway would be with option B. Ms. McPherson stated that the buyer would prefer that the driveway go straight out to the street. They would try to preserve the trees to the east. Dr. Vos asked if there is a minimum distance to stay away from the st�eet for parking room. Ms. McPherson stated the City has granted setback variances in the front yard from 35 feet down to 10 or 12 feet. Typically, they like to see at least 20 feet which is a minimum standard parking stall. However, 18 feet is not unreasonable with the smaller cars today, but it may be a problem if you have a larger vehicle. Ms. Beaulieu stated that by granting the variance as written, the buyer with option B could do what they want or, if that did not go through, option A would fit within that variance. Ms. McPherson stated, yes. In order to allow option A, they needed to grant two variances--one to allow an accessory structure in the front yard and one to allow a reduction in the setback. Mr. Kuechle stated one suggestion was that the accessory structure requirement be removed if the garage was moved within three feet of the house. ts there a reason why this cannot be moved within three feet? Mr. Ryan stated, no. The surveyor recommended that be eight feet per some provisions ftom the City. Ms. McPherson stated by having a minimum of 5 feet of separation befinreen the eave lines plus the overhang on the garage of approximately 24 inches would increase that to seven or eight feet which is proposed. That would eliminate the need for a one-hour fire wall and no openings in the garage structure along that side. Any closer than five feet requires sheet rock and one-hour fireproofing. Other than that, there is no physical reason why it couldn't be brought within three feet. Grass would .have a difficult time growing there. The area would probably end up with a sidewalk or patio which could be icy in the winter. Ms. Mau stated that other than having to change the structure with option C, that would not require a variance. Aesthetically, it may actually look better because it is set back further. After driving by and looking at the property, she had a hard time seeing how the roof lines would match if a garage was set away from the house. The house seems set low. With plan C, it appears that the roof lines might be easier to meld together. Ms. McPherson stated that could occur. It is a flat roofed structure. Someone may 18.18 � � APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING,�EBRUARY 26,1997 PAGE 5 decide in the future to change that entirely. The Commission could choose to deny the variance or could choose a compromise position and a future buyer would know that an attached garage without any variances would woric, or the City could state there be no encroachment greater than "x" amount of feet in the front yard. That is what the owner and the petitioner are looking for. If the Commission chooses to deny the request, the City Council would review the request in March. Dr. Vos asked how much of a grade change there was from the street to where the garage would be located in options A or C. Ms. McPherson stated the bituminous paricing area has a 4.5 foot retaining wall around it. Once you get past that, it is relatively flat. Mr. Ryan stated that speaking for Mrs. Belgum, he would encourage the Commission to accept the most liberal variance the City can live with. They are trying to find a way to market the house to more potential buyers. The most severe variance request is for someone who is considering buying the property. Option C is a good idea but it would change the interior of the house and create some problems in the interior. If someone likes what is there, tearing out that stairway and eliminating access to the loft to have access to the garage may be a problem. He would rather have approval of the variance and make some restrictions as to the type of roof rather than to have the variance request rejected. If the variance is rejected. Mrs. Belgum is in a difficult position to seff the house. Dr. Vos asked if staff had received any comments from the neighbors. Ms. McPherson stated staff did not receive any calls �egar�ding this request. Mr. Ryan stated the only neighbor with which he anticipated concem was the neighbor to the west, but he raised no objection. Dr. Vos stated this is a factor for the neighbor to the west because the garage could be within five feet of that lot tine. Mr. Ryan stated the neighbor to the west has a row of trees and a garage in that area. If there was a garage on this property, it would probably enhance the value of that property eventually. !f option B should happen to be accepted, it will dramatically enhance the value of that part of the community and provide a better tax retum. MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to close the public hea�ng. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:57 P.M. Dr. Vos stated one of the hardships is that the easement cuts across the one side of the lot which forces everything to the fro�t yard. The hardship forces the placement of the garage but a ga�age can be put in there without a variance. That puts him in a spot. 18.19 • � APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 26, 1997 PAGE 6 When there is a harclship, that is the only thing you can do. Usualiy you can try to minimize the variance request. In this case, you could go 18 feet, 3 feet, or 0. Ms. Beaulieu stated, if you put the garage to the west side of the house, that changes the interior. She has no problem with the request as written. It seems that if someone had come in and asked for a variance as in option B with the unusual lot, an easement, and a creek, she did not think they would have any trouble approving the variance. The request gives the buyer the choice between any of the three options. Dr. Vos stated it is a different request because, if we do as stated in #97-02 and the buyer decides to go with option B, then part of the variance request is not applicable. Ms. McPherson stated that was correct. Dr. Vos asked if that woutd aflow someone to put a smaif accessory structure in the front yard because of the variance. Ms. McPherson stated this could happen. She suggested that if the Commission liked option 6 to make it so that they would have to attach the garage. Granting both parts of the variance for option B would open the door for an accessory structure over 240 square feet in the front yard in addition to a garage. The only variance that you would need to be concemed about an accessory stru�ture in the front yard is option A and then you would limit the amount of the encroachment as a part of the motion. Mr. Kuechle stated his opinion is to reject the request. He thought there were at least two viable options to get a garage on this property. He could look at option B if there was a solid complete plan for the way the house was going to be redone, how it might look architecturally, and how it would look on the lot. He is reluctant to given an open book. He did not really see the service door issue as being a big one. There are some options for a service door or no service door. If attached, there could be no service door. He did not know that this is a blodcing issue for a garage in that"location. Because there are finro options for the lot, potential buyers have those two options for a garage. If they feel they need the variance, then he thought they needed to see complete plans on how it was going to flt. Ms. Mau asked if other homes in the area have smaller setbacks. Ms. McPherson stated she did not know. In the eight years she has been a Planning Assistant, they have not granted any variance requests in this neighborhood. Some requests were made but were withdrawn. Ms. Mau stated that with option B, they are attaching the garage in a way that you could also attach a garage in option C. One could extend part of the garage down into the open area just like on the other plan, put the service door in a difference spot so it did not interfere with the inside structure by the fireplace. She thought a setback to 18 feet was drastic, and that there are other optior�s. � 8.20 �._. • i .. _ •��u •. u . . .. Ms. Beaulieu stated that if they d'+d aliow the variance request to 18 feet, could it be contingent upon approval of future plans? Ms. McPherson stated there would not be any Commission or Council review of a building permit application. You would need to stipulate that in such a way that staff could take that stiputation and look at the plans to make sure everything blended together. She was not sure the City couid enforce that since you must put a substantial addition on in addition to the garage. She did not see how they could legally enforce that. Having the structure architecturally compatible is consistent with past stipulations. If the Commission approves any of the options, you would have the stipulation that the structure be architecturally compatible. M TI N by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Dr. Vos, to recommend approval of Variance Request, #97-02, by David Ryan, Coldwefl Banker, to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 18 feet, to allow the construction of an attached two-car garage on Lot 23„ Block 2, and that part of Lot 24, Block 2, lying westerly of a line beginning at the northwest corner of Lot 24; thence to southwest comer of Lot 24, Sandhurst Addition, the same being 191 Hartman Circle N.E., with the following stiputation: 1. The accessory structure shall be architecturally compatible with the dwelling. UPON A VOICE VOTE, MS. BEAULIEU AND DR. VOS VOTING AYE, AND MS. MAU AND MR. KUECHLE VOTING NAY, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION FAILED DUE TO A TIE VOTE. Ms. McPherson stated that because there appears to be a stalemate, it may be best to forward the request to the City Council with no recommendation. The City Council will review the request on March 31. Mr. Ryan stated there was no mention of option A. Ms. McPherson stated the motion was the greatest extent of the variance. Mr. Kuechle stated that granting the variance as requested would leave too many open doors. Ms. McPherson stated a commissioner could choose to make a motion to recommend denial of the request but the outcome would likely be the same. Ms. Mau asked if it was possible that an interested buyer would want to show us more of a plan. She thought the problem was that they did not see anything to work with. Mr. Ryan stated the interested buyer is p�obably remodeling the entire inside of the house. That is not a problem. Ms. Beaulieu stated that rf the request is ng to the City Council, the plans could be 1�21 t _ � �, � • APPEALS COMMISSION MEETiNG, FEBRUARY 26, 1997 PAGE 8 brought to that meeting. Ms. McPherson stated there is another option. The Commission could choose to table the request. The petitioner and the potential buyer could choose to provide the Commission with additional information. Mr. Ryan stated he was frustrated. He stiH cannot talk to a buyer about purchasing the home. He can say you can buy the house if you remode! it. Mr. Kuechle stated two options were presented that do not require a variance. If there are two options, one would be to put the accessory stn.�cture within three feet of the house without a variance and the second is to attach a garage to the west. In terms of potential buyers, they have not closed the door. There are two ways a garage can be built there that are still set back 35 feet. Ms. McPherson stated those are the options at this point, but the request can be moved on to Council. Mr. Ryan stated he thought he should consult with the realtor and the potential buyer. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner understands there are two options which do not require a variance. The Commission has made its concems known regarding option B. The City Council can still consider that request. Befinreen now and March 31, there may be more concrete plans for that buyer. Or, the petitioner could withdraw the request befinreen now and Councif consideration. Mr. Kuechle asked if Mr. Ryan had told the potentiaf buyer that they would be looking at other options and that this would not be the first choice. Ms. McPherson stated, yes. The buyer received a copy of the staff report so they were aware that other options were anaiyzed under this request. 2. Ms. McPherson provided an update on 3.

(WARD 3}: Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a request for a variance to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 18 feet and to allow an accessory structure in the front yard. There are several options, which have been presented, in order t� construct a garage on this parcel. If Option A is used, the variance would be to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 32 feet. Mr. Hickok stated that Mr. Ryan is a real estate agent who is assisting the owner cf th�s property, Ms. Belgum, in ma�Yating her home. In order to sell this property, a garage is required. In reviewing the options, a garage could be construc�ed on �he property. However, withcut a variance it would involve remodeling the inside of the home. Mr. Hickok stated that the Appeals Commission considered the request to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 18 feet (Op�ion B). A motion to approve this variance fa�ied on a tie vote, and a buyer interested in the property withdrew this request after the Appeals Commission meeting. The request before Council this evening is a variance to allow an accessory structure in the tront yard and a variance to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 32 feet. Councilman Billings stated that if the garage is moved closer to the home, in addition to construction of a fire wall, the driveway is then closer eliminating potential spots for snow storage and a possible drainage problem. Aesthetically, it would not be as pleasing because persons would be looking at a garage door rather than the side of a garage. He asked if there are any assurances the garage would be positioned so the front of the garage is not visible from the street. Mr. Ryan, the petitioner, stated that with the attached garage the logical driveway would be straight out to the street and would be more aesthetically pleasing.
