Page 2 A. STATED HARDSHIP: � 1. By keeping the roof line and north wall continuous, the appearance will help increase the value of the home and homes around it. 2. Without having to angle the room, it will make the job much easier for the contractor and save us a great deal of added expenses to the addition. 3. To meet the ten food code, we would have to cut the size of the room to approximately nine feet which would be too small for a bedroom. (See letter from James and Mary Kostick dated March 26, 1991. ) B. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Request The petitioners are requesting a variance to reduce the required side yard setback from 10 feet to 9 feet. The request is for Lot 6, Block 6, Donnay's Lakeview Manor Addition, the same being 5744 Jackson Street N.E. Site Located on the property is a single family dwelling unit with a detached two car garage. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are the properties to the north, south, east, and west. Analvsis Section 205.07.03.D.(2).(a) requires a side yard setback of ten feet between any living area and side property line. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a minimum of 20 feet between living areas in adjacent structures and 15 feet between garages and living areas in adjacent structures to reduce the possibility of fire. It is also to allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas around residential structures. The petitioners are proposing to add an addition to the rear of the property which will include a bedroom and an open patio area under the roof overhang (please see attached elevation). /� Staff Report VAR #91-08, 5744 Jackson Street N.E. Page 3 � The lot is unusual in the fact that it is a modified pie-shape instead of the typical rectangular lot, as is commonly found throughout the City. There are similar lots within this same neighborhood; however, the average width of these lots at the location of the dwelling is wider than the petitioners' lot. The petitioners have several alternatives that would allow them to meet the code requirement. The alternatives include: angling the addition so that it is parallel to the side lot line, or reducing the size of the proposed bedroom by one foot. Angling the proposed addition to run parallel with the side lot line would create a skewed room in relation to the existing house. This would also add considerable expense in purchasing special rafters, etc., to accommodate this angle. Shortening the bedroom by one foot would create a bedroom that is 9 feet wide. The Uniform Building Code does not stipulate a minimum room width; however, it does require that all rooms of the house, with the exception of one, be 70 sq. ft. in area (the remaining one is to be a minimum of 120 sq. ft. in area). In speaking with Darrel Clark, Chief Building Official, he stated that an average bedroom size for today's construction is a minimum of 10 ft. x 12 ft. By allowing the one foot encroachment, the impact to the adjacent property is minimal, as the adjacent house is in front of the addition. The property is unique in its shape and while there are similarly shaped lots in the neighborhood, they have greater widths where the dwelling is located to accommodate future expansions. Recommendation Because of the unique shape and size of the lot and because the proposed addition will not adversely impact the adjacent property owner, it would be in the spirit of the code to grant the variance to reduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 9 feet. Staff recommends that the Appeals Commission approve variance reguest, VAR #91-08. � � SITE PLAN /'� ,� _ ;,\ , ��� ,s=:.. ___•_ .�. � � h .. . . • � \ `�� fy {` � \ I�' � �� ` \ ',.,�` .. � ^ ;� � � \ � I �Y..'� t v' ,, � , , �` � �� i `\ , �3 . �� � �� � � ir i �� � � .. � � - �- --� 1 �� � � , _ .r , ` ' - '- - ,,,� • ' ._�� �� � ;�� . , \\ . ` , y \ ,`..�;i` � � - . � .` � ` . � .�,���� _ _ �; `� , , � � '_._ �, ` , �t...� _ �.__� ,.-� i 1,.�� — a��� _ _- r�c � { I1 , . � � , _ \ O I ♦ / � � I t. � � '� . .� __���._._ ____ � ; _ ; � . �� ��_� a < <t ,� � � �: `� . , , � i', I � J__ -_ . 1 _� i� ;! . l � ; � 1 � I. %; . ___ . � "-"----•- ; � � � �� ��\ �� � . � \ � I � _. - ---- ' - ...- .... 1, � lI �.,,- -. •. ��� � `�'-' ELEVATION � March 23, 1991 � To Whom it May Concern: James and Mary Kostick, who are current owners of the residence at 57/�4 Jackson Street 1VE in Fridley have brought it to my attention they wish to add on to the back side (�+Test) of their house. They have explained to me the request for a varience to the city ordinance where the footings must be ten feet from the side property line. I understand the addition they wish to build will set the footings nine feet from the property line. I have no objection to this addition. Should you require more information, please give me a call.

IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTINd AYE� CHAIRPERSON BAPAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOII3LY. CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REOUEST, VAR #91-08, BY JAMES AND MARY KOSTICK• Per Section 205.07.03.D.(2).(a) of the Fridley City Code to reduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 9 feet to allow the construction of an addition on Lot 6, Block 6, Donnay's Lakeview Manor, the same being 5744 Jackson Street N.E. MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to open the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECI,ARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:31 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated the property is located west of Moore Lake and near the intersection of 58th Avenue and Jackson Street N.E. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are the properties surrounding it. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioners are proposing to construct an addition off the rear of the single family dwelling unit located n,'`, APPEALS COl�lI88ION MEETIN(�i, APRIL 16. 1991 PAGE 2 on the property. The addition will contain a bedroom and a patio area under the roof overhang. Ms. McPherson stated the lot is unusual in that it is not a typical =ectangular lot which is common within the City. The lot is a modified pie-shape. There are similarly shaped lots within the same neighborhood; however, this particular lot is unique in the fact that it is narrower where the house and buildable area are located. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has two other alternatives: (1) Shortening the bedroom by 1 foot and creating a bedroom that is 9 feet wide; or (2) angling the addition so that it is parallel to the side lot line. Ms. McPherson stated the first alternative to reduce the width of the bedroom by one foot is a viable alternative; however, the Chief Building Official, Darrel Clark, has stated that minimum bedroom sizes seem to be 10 ft. by 12 ft. and he thought a 9 foot width was exceptionally small for a bedroom. There is no minimum Uniform Building Code dimensions for particular room sizes. Ms. McPherson stated the only requirement is that rooms be a minimum of 70 sq. ft. The second alternative would add considerable expense to the proposed project, because special rafters and structural materials would have to be purchased. Ms. McPherson stated that by allowing the one foot encroachment, the impact to the adj acent property is minimal , as the adj acent house is in front of the addition. Ms. McPherson stated that because of the unique shape and size of the lot and because the proposed addition will not adversely impact the adjacent property owner, staff recommends the Appeals Commission approve the variance request.
