the origiral glan. He felt it was fine if it would be left as a residential

Mr. Allen i�ttson, the petitioner, stated the 50 foot lot is incorporated

Mr. Qureshi, CYty Manager, stated there is existing cnncrete wrbing on the

will be renwed. He suggested the street be widened ten feet to the north

He felt, if this was cbne, the "no parking" restrictiori for cat�e side of the
street aould be eliminated.
Mr. I�ttson stated the last o�ndo�miniun �nit oanes closer to the lot than on

Mr. Flora, Pub ' Works Director, stated when the Six Cities Watershed
Manag�ne.nt Organi.za ' was created it was with the tnderstanding they vould
lEVy taxes. He stated, tly, it was disaovered by the County that the
State statute does not authori is organizati� to levy taxes. He stated
this resolution would sup�ort a dzan in legislation to authorize the Six
Cities Watershed Manac�nent Organizatian evy ta�aes.
�t�cilman Barrette asked Mr. Flora what he felt th ic�t be as far as the
mills. Mr. Flora stated it would probably be about one- o�' a mi11.
Mr. Qureshi, CYty Manao,er, stated because this organizati� is a joint
_�
4.
pawer agreenent, the laa does riot �av�ide then any taxing authority. He
stated e only bodies that can tax are g�verrme.ntal agencies. �
Mr. Qure i p�i�ed out this is an appointed body with six cities ir�volved
so there uld be some risk regarding the credibility of the arganization. .
Mr. Herrick, Gity Attorney, asked what is included in annual operating
expen9es. I�. Flora stated it includes mailing, staff salaries, attorney
and enc�rieerin fees, and all activities associated with the Watershed
Manage�aent Orga ' zation.
Mr. Herrick askec�if it included any improvenent projects. Mr. Flora
stated, at tfiis poi�,, it cbes not include impraieaer�t projects.
Mr. Herrick stated, he tnderstands, watershed districts have power to
levy taxes for gener ach►inistrative expenses, but if there are any
impravenent Faojects, th properties found to benefit b�► such �xojects would
be assessed in the form a special assessnent. He stated the ooncern he
has with the resolution is it doesn't really spell out annual operating
expenses and doesn't set limit�tion on the anaa�t o� taxes the district
�ould l�y.
Mr. Flora stated, tnder the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization
joirrt p�wers acgeenem, the agr ent authorizes the cities to initiate a
budget and sulinit it to the respe ive Councils for approval. He stated
this is a means of idemifying impr enent projects and ha�► to proceed with
those imprwene.nts. He stated there re cfiecks and balances in the joint
gawers agreenent.
Mr. Herrick felt it should be better clef d or a limi�tion as to haw many
mills a�uld be levied so that Fridley and ther cities wouldn't be giving
away authority to tax to appointed per s who are f rom a diff erent
aomn�►ity.
Mr. Qureshi suggested staff check some of these°�tans further and bring it
back to �e do�cil. \

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� VICE-CHAIRPERSON BARNA DECLARED THF. PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 8:19 P.M.
Vice-Chairperson Barna read the Administrative Staff Report:
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.09.5D.4c requires tf�at the edge of the curb onenina shall not
be closer to the nearest portion of a street right-of-way intersection
than seventy-five feet, or two-tFiirds of tfie lot width, whichever is
smaller.
public purpose served by tf�is requirement - is to allow the stacking of
vehicles, without blocking a driveway, at intersections.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Original plan not feasible, bank would not finance because of garage;
6 unit witfi attached garages is O.K.'
C, ADP1IlJISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
In August 1984 City Council granted a Special Use Permit to alloa� con-
struction of R-3 garages on R-1 property, the same being Lots 78�and 79,
Bl�ck A, Riverview Heights. According to tf�e petitioner the project was
deemed unacceptable by his lendor due to the detached nature of the
garages.
The new proposal calls for tuck-under garages, The most westerly unit
will have a driveway wF�ich is 29 feet from the intersection of right-of-
wav lines of Hugo and East River Road. According to code R-3 driveways
should 6e set bacfc 75 feet from tfie intersection of riqht-of-way lines.
T(�e driveway ln question is approximately 32 feet wide and services two
double garages.
Note there is no such res'triction for R-1 or R-2 driveways.
If the Board approves this request it should be with the stipulations
that Lots 78 and 79 be combined with the townhome partion, as it is
needed for rear yard and the necessary street easements be granted to
the city.

several other requests on this same parcel, The lates� request was to build
a multiple family dwelling with a par.king lot to be located west of the build-
ing. This proposal was approved about a year ago. Apparently, there were
some financial problems, and so now the petitioner has a new townhome design
with tuck-under garages witf� additional parking for company to the residents.
The reason the code asks for the separation if to try to keep congestion from
parking lots entering streets too close to street intersections. It may not
have been the intent to restrict the driveway serving a two-car garage. They
are thinking of recor�mmending a change to tF�e code tF►at a driveway serving
parking lots of more than 4 stalls has to be separated by 75 ft.
Mr. Clark stated the petitloners have agreed to dedicate to the Citv additional
right of way for Hugo St, and East River Road.
The petitioners, Mr. Allen Mattson and Mr. Don Chouinard, were in the audience,
Mr. Mattson stated they went from a pr000sal of 7 units to 6 units with double
tuck-under garages. If this was a residential home, the variance would not be
necessary. He stated they will be selling these units individuallv as homes.
Mr, Ralph Officer, 315 Hugo St.,stated that once East River Road is widened,
the people backing out of the driveways of the townhomes are going to spend
a lot of time waiting to get onto Hugo St, because cars on Huqo will be stacked
up waiting to get out onto East River Road. He stated he felt there was an
effort being made, 6ut tfie effort was being diminished by the street dedication.
Mr. Barna stated that whether or not East River Road is ever widened and
whether or not there was access to southbound East River Road from Hugo St.,
east or west of East River Road, depended on f�ow much the residents in the
area express their concerns to the County as to whether or not they want East
River Road turned into a freeway.
Mr. Barna stated the R-1 50 ft, lot on ti�e east side of the property was being
dedicated to the townhome development so there can be no possible construction
on the lot. It will be a green area for the townhouse development. The owners
of the units can determine what they want to do with the property,
Mr. Gary Claggett, 44U Hugo St., stated his main concern was the narrown,�ss
of Hugo St.
Mr. Barna stated that if the .neighbors are concerned about the narrowness of
Hugo St., they can either petition for street widening, or the City Council
can decide that the street needs to be widened:
Mr. Betzold stated he had talked to Pat Gabel, Chafrperson of the Appeals
Commission earlier, and she had stated she had received a telephone call from
a resident living at 8180 East River Road who was f�andicapped. This resident
had stated she did not object to the variance requested but was concerned.

Mr. Clark stated he wanted the petitioners to be aware tfiat there may be a
drainage problem. He believed one of the sti�ulations on the last olan was
that a drainage plan be submitted and approved by the City Engineering Dept.
prior to construction, Nortfi of tfiis property tfiere is a ratf�er old multiple
dwelling of 4-5 units. TFie rear year of that building is lower than East
River Road, Ironton and Hugo Streets. l�n that same yard is a qarage that is
lower than any of the streets. The northerly portion of the townhom� pro�erty is
also low so tf�ere may or may not be a drainage problem when the water runs off
into the hole. It was possible tfie fiole could be made large enough to hold
the existing run-off. If that was not possi6le, tfiey might have to have a
storm sewer pipe installed to the nearest outlet, probably at the creek about
400 ft, to the east.
Mr, Clark stated otfier stipulations put on the plan were: (lj City approved
landscaped plan; (2� right-of-way dedication; (3) drainage plan be submitted
and approved by the City.
MOTZON BY MR. BETZOLD, SECONDED BY 1�2. PLEMEL; TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HF.ARING.
UPON A VDICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CXAIRPERSON BARNA DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AT 8:45 P.M.
Mr. Betzold stated f�e felt th�s variance request was consistent with similar
plans they have had in the past. In trying to make some use of this particular
lot and also to make it fit into the existing neigf�borhood, there was going to
have to be some stipulations to go along wit�i the variance request.
MOTION BY MR. BETZOLD� SECONDED BY MR, PLEMEL, TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL
APPROYAL OF VARIANCE REQUEST PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 205 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE
TO REDUCE THE SETBACK OF A DRIVEWAY FROM STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY INTERSECTION FROM
75 FEET TO 29 FEET ON LO^S 78 AND 79, BLOCK A, RIVERVIEW HEIGNTS, THE SAME
BEING 441 HUGO STREET N.E., WITX THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS:
1. CITY APPROVED LANDSCAPE PLAN
2. DRAINA6E PLAN BE SUBMITTED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY
3. RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATION
4. LOTS 78 AND 79 BE COMBINED WITH TXE TOWNHOME PORTION
5. NECESSARY STREET EASEMENTS BE GRAf7?'ED TO TNE CITY �
6. RECOMMEND THAT TXE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER A"ND PARKING" BAN ON
ONE SIDE OF HUGO STREET
Mr. Plemel stated he got tfie feeling that the neighbors really had no objection
to the variance request. They all seemed to agree that this plan was a much
better plan than a 7-10-unit apartment building:
Mr. Barna stated tf�at,living on Hugo St.�four houses down on the opposite side
of East River Road and having looked at this lot for 15 years, seeing in the
past a plan for a 10-unit building, Fie felt the townhome development would look
nice. He d1d not really like the.29 ft., but there were other driveways up and
down East River Road tfiat are that close or closer to East River Road. He would
bave no objection to this variance request with stipulations.
