Mrs. Drangeid explained the locations of the trees on the pxoperty as the reason for the . jogging. Mr. Plemel asked about the width �f the breezeway and if they were going to use it for a living area. Mr. D��angeid said the breezeway is going to 1�e 10 feet and the breezeway will be,�emore of a 3-season porch. He said this will give them more privacy in their�ackyard and 1�4rs.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REnUIREN�1VTa Section 205.053, 4B, #5a, requires a minimum side yard sethack of 30 feet, for an accessory building that open onto the street side.of a'cor�er lot, .cvhen �he house to the rear has frontage along that side street and the accessory building is within 25 feet of the coimnon property line. Public purpose served.by this requirement is to reduce encroachmen t into the neighbor's front yard "line of sight" and also to'allow for off-street parking wi thout encroaching on the public right of way. Section 205.053, 4C, requires:a rear yard depth of not less than 25 percent of the lot depth, with not less than 25 feet pennitted nor more than 40 feet required. Public purpose served by this requi.rement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which ennance the neighborT�ood. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "The hardship is the odd shape of the lot and the�location of the existing trees." C. AD�lINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW; The lot is on the corner of Jackson Street and Kennaston Drive, with the house and existing ati;ached garage facing Jackson Street. The applicant proposes ta convert the existing garage to living area and build a 10 foot by 12' breezeway and a 3� foot x 24 foot attached garage behind the existing garage, with tlie proposed garage eaita.ng onto Kennaston Drive. Because of the curving of the lot, the east side ot the garage front will be 10 feet from.the side lot line and the west side of the garage front will be 40 feet (approxi.mately) from the side lot line. Kennaston Drive has a 10 foot boulevard making the closest section of tYie garage 20 feet from the street.

Public purpose served by this requir�nent is to avoid the condition of overcrowd�ng in a residential neighborhood, to avoid a�'► excess burden on the existing water and sewer services, and to avoid reduction of surrounding property values. " B. STI�TED HARDSHIP: "The lot size with the lots combined, provide adequa�e area for a l0.unit building, but diyided into two building sites, there is not enough area to meet the minimiun requirement for two 4 unit buildings, We have sold and can obtain financing for two 4.unit buildings wher� the financing is not available for the larger building." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVZEW: These lots are on the northeast corner of Hugo Street and East River Road. ,Lots 78 & 79 are in the process of being rezoned�to R-3 from:R-1 (ZOA #81-03), and there is also a lot split request (L.S. #81-03)'iieing processed to split the area into two building sites. The variance requests on lot area are sub��ct to the approval of tfie lot split and rezoning requests. �y approval of these requests should be contingent upon the City receiving an additional 20-25 feet o P right of way along East River Road. . Mr. C1ark showed the commission an aerial view of the area and said that in 1978, Mr. Doy1e'applied for a special use pexmit, that it was reapproved in 1979, and that prob�ly due to.financing, it was never built. He said the houses to the east are set back 30=32 feet. Mr. Doyle has three different layouts placing his structuros on this tract of land. Vice Chairwoman Gabel asked if the variance is being done as if the lot split had alrea�y taken place. Mr. Clark said there are actually three requests: lot split, rezoninq, and reducing lot area. H� stated that half of the east lat is presently zoned fi-1. Mr, Kielblock said he was concerned about af£ street parking. ' • . t AP��P,LS GQP9.MIS5I.ON MTNUT�5 - TUE.SDAY, APRIL 14 1981 �age 6 '� ��" . . . S 1�� C ■ I P Mr, 1�oyle sai.d as far as parking is concerned, they could `have tvro buildings with parking ne}rt to a house or two buildings with p arking divided, He felt the plan that makes mos� sense is two separated buildings with parking in f.he center, thus shielding parking. He said he has a purchase agreement subject to approval�and that tlzis is to be owner-occupied, that �che owner presently lives in Corcoran. Vice Chairwoman Gabel asked about the size of the units. Mr. Doyle said they.are going to be 2-bedroom units with clining room, living room and two nice size bedrooms with in-house storage. The downstairs will be a little bit different with the laundry facilities. Mr. Barna asked if the laundry facilities are for both up and down units and how inany square feet are the units. Mr. Doyle said the laundry is for both up and down units and they will be 860 some square feet. He said they are designed to meet housing market of today and lias designed building for other sites and selling condominituns. Vice Chairwoman Gabel asked if he plans to sell these. Mr. Doyle said no, they are looking at $450 a month rent, not including utilities. Mr. Kielblock asked if he plans to have garages and Mr. Doyle said possibly in the future. Mr. Clar}� said they will need 8 parking stalls for each buildingq Mr. Doyle said the buyer is planning to build garages but he was not sure if they are going to be 4-stall or 8-sta11 and he will. probably interpose garages right into the parking stall area. Vice Cha.irwoman Gabel asked if the buyer wants one building and Mr. Doyle said he wants them both. Vice Chairwoman Gabel asked about difference in terms of financing with one buyer, Mro Doyle said he did not really understand but he can get financang similar to single family house and greater than that you be- come a commercial vendor, the magical number seemed to be four units. He said �Ehere will actually be t�ao mortgages, one investor for both buildings who will live on the site. Mrs. Kielblock was concerned as there are problems in the neighborhood wi'th renters who live on the corner of East River Road and Ironton and she was wondering wliy this is being.done before it is rezoned. She said the offstreet parkinq might help but the problem duplexes in the area have garages and that does nc,t seem to help. Vice Chairwoman Gabel said the commission is interested in the two variances that are reducing the amount of space required and they are interested in any objections. Mr. Kielblock said if there is offstreet parking and kids stay in their own lots, there would be no problem. Mr. Aoyle said the 50 foot lot is presently'zoned single family and he is coell aware of the problems and they are extremely difficult to control. He also said there are single family homes that have the same problems. He s�id it would be 8 unit structures with the single family lot and l�-unit structure without the single family. Vice Chain,��oman Gabel wondered if it isn't pushing the code c•rith a variance from 15,000 to 10,000 square feet and why it is before the �ppeals Commission before it go�s to the Planni.ng Commission. Mr. Barna said it w�uld be anticlimactic if there was a lot split and Mr. Doyle did not get the variance. Mr. Clark said it went to Appeals £irst so the Planning Commission and �he City Council had the whole package to consider at one time. He further stated that t�tr. Doyle does not want the lot split if he cannot get tl�e variance and the commiission has to assume that it's been rezoned and how they feel about tha-t. Vice Cl�airwoman Gabel felt there's an element of the neighborhood that has some feelings a.nd they are waiting to express them at another place and they are not here. Mr. Barna asked if th��basic complaint �f the neighborhood is uncontrolled rental units. 1�Sr. Kielblock said yes and also offstreet parking. z � � ` �, APP�,ALS COMMTS630N MINUT�S -- TUESDAY. � AP1;IL 14 � i9si page 7 Mr. Barna said pa�Ying in bei:ween th� buildings would shield the parking and the back yaxd area is not tha�� bad, mos-t rental people do not use their yards. He said there is a par1; on the corner and safe walking for children and that it would not be that bad of a developmen� in the area, even if it was not owner-occupied, but, if the people in the neighborhood have a complaint, he would go along with th�m. Vice Chairwor�an Ga.bel said she was uncomfortable that this d.id not go to Planning first as more people tend to go to hearings when you talk about re- zoning and that going from 15,000 to 10,000 is pushing the code and certainly has to be justified. Mr, Plemel felt that th� request to go from 15,000 to 13,622 ft, was not so bad. Vice Chairwoman Gabel asked Mr. Doyle what his plans are if the variance does not go through and he said his alternatives would be to put in single family home and set of townhomes or series of double family homes. Mr. Barna said there would be enough room if it vaas one building but because there is two buildings, there is not enough room and asked Mr. Doyle if the financing was definite. Mr. Doyle said it looks very positive, they have talked to the lenders and they do not see a big problem. Mr. Hippen asked about approval of the requests contingent upon the City re- ceiving additional 20-25 feet of right of way along East River Road. Mr. Doyle said he was not aware of this afi this site.

Vice Chairwoman Gabel read the Staff Repor�t: ADMINISTIZ11TIj1E STAEF REPORT 6225 Highway #65 N.E. --A. PUBLIC PURPOS� SEAVED BY REnUI3.ZEMENT: Shopping Center Sign Plan - This plan was approved by the City Council on September 11, 1978 with a maximiva 3 foot sign height above the canopy. Public purpose served by plan caas to make all new signs installecl on the building�to be uniform in hei:ght and placeiaent on the�mansard� to eliminate the cluttered appearance that has been brought about b�i�uniform signs. B. STATED IiARDSHIP: "The cost of the move has exceeded $5,000.00 in r�novating the ne�a location (moved within the shopping center). A new sign would run several hundred dollars. At this time we are unable to handle any more expenses." C. ADMINISTi,ATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The applicant presently is located in the Shorewood Shopping Cente� is moving to another location within �he shoppi.ng center making it necessary for the sign to be moved. The purpose af the uniform sign plan was to eliminate non-confonning signs as they were taken down. We feel the sign should meet the uniform sign plan or a time limit set as to when it would have to raeet this plan. Mr. Plemel asked if they alread�� have 'the sign and rsrs. Rud said the sign is already moved, tf�at she filled out the variance request and mov�d the sign the first of the month. 5he said that when ihey moved she w�s not a�ti�are of any problems with their sign and that the purchase of a new sic�n c,rould cost an additional $3,000. She further sta�ed tha� the landlord does not pay all the renovation costs and th�y cannot handle any more ��.penses and caould like to use �heir existing sign. Vice Chaircaonlan Gabel asked if she was planning to leave on ali the additional logos and Mrs. Rud said yes she was. Vice Chairwoman Gabel said the code says the sign shc�uld be 3 ft, in h°iaht and asked about the width. FRIDLEY FIP.E �EPARTP4ENT ;� . PLAP!
