STATED HARDSHIP: See attached letter from Stanley and Patricia Barone dated June 24, 1993. B. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Request The petitioners are requesting that four variances be granted: 1. To reduce the lot area from 7,500 square feet to 6,600 square feet; 2. To reduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 4.8 feet; 3. To reduce the rear yard setback from 27 feet to 22 feet; 4. To increase the maximum lot coverage from 25� to 31�. The request is for Lots 30-31, Block P, Riverview Heights Addition, the same being 686 Kimball Street N.E. Site Located on the property is a single family dwelling unit with an attached garage. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are all surrounding parcels. Analysis The petitioners are proposing to construct a family room addition to the rear of the existing dwelling unit. The proposed addition measures 15 feet by 37 feet. The addition will include both a basement and a first floor. Lot Area Section 205.07.03.A.(2) requires a minimum lot area of 7,500 sq. ft. where a lot is one on a subdivision or plat recorded before December 29, 1955. Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the congestion of overcrowding in a residential neighborhood. The lot area of the subject parcel is 6,600 square feet. This parcel has been a lot of record since 1955. Granting the variance to the minimum square footage requirement of 7,500 square feet for lots created prior to 1955 is appropriate as denial of the variance would constitute a taking of the property. � �, Staff Report VAR #93-14, 686 Kimball Street AT.E., Stanley and Patricia Barone Page 2 Side Yard Sectioa 205.07.03.D.(2).(a) requires a side yard setback of 10 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 and to allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas around residential structures. The proposed addition will continue the wall of the existing dwelling unit. The dwelling unit is located 4.8 feet from the side lot line. The setback requirement is 10 feet. The City, in the past, has granted variances to align additions with existing encroachments. The petitioner could jog the addition 5.2 feet. The petitioners are not increasing the amount of encroachment. The garage of the dwelling unit to the east is located 5 feet from the lot line. Rear Yard Section 205.07.03.D.(3).(a) of the Fridley City Code requires a rear yard setback of not less than 25 0 of the lot depth with not less than 25 feet permitted or more than 40 feet required for the main building. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood. The proposed addition will encroach into the required rear yard setback by 5 feet, reducing the setback from 27 feet to 22 feet. Granting the rear yard variance will not have an adverse impact on the adjacent properties. The dwelling to the south is located 44 feet from the rear lot line. The request is well within the extent of previously granted variances. It should also be noted that the house has an unusually large front setback of 48 feet. Lot Coveracre Section 205.07.03.0 requires that not more than 25� of the area of a lot shall be covered by the main building and all accessory buildings. Public purpose of this requirement is to eliminate the condition of overcrowding of residential areas. � � Staff Report VAR #93-14, 686 Kimball Street N.E., Stanley and Patricia Barone Page 3 Lot coverage is a function of the lot area as it is a percentage of the lot to be covered by all structures. The petitioners are proposing a total square footage of 2,072 square feet. As the lot is 6,600 square feet in area, 25� equals 1,650 square feet. The proposed lot coverage is approximately 400 square feet larger than the maximum permitted by code. If the subject parcel was a typical 9,000 square foot lot, the maximum lot coverage would be 2, 250 feet, and the proposed addition would be well within the 25 0. If this variance is granted, it will be the most extreme increase in l.ot coverage. The largest request approved for a lot coverage variance was to 28.6%. Should the Appeals Commission approve the request, no stipulations are recommended. � VAR�ANCE APPLICATION �, 6/24/93 City of Fridley 6431 Unieersity Avenue N.E. Fridley, 1vIl�T 55432 We would like to add a family room to the rear of the esdsting house. As the attached site plan indicates, the addition measures 15 feet by 37 feet and follows the l�nes of north-south walls of the extsting structure. The addition consists of a aingle room having the same floor level as the existing structure's top level floor and, like the present house, will have a basement room beneath it. The addition will blend in the with existing structure. The exterlor of the family ruom portion of the addition will have the same color and style of siding currently on the present dwelling. The extertor of the basement walls wlll be cinder block as is the current structure. Because of the lot's terrain, part of the basement walls wlll be completely below ground (like the present structure) and some areas will be completely exposed. The raof line of the additian at its higheat point will be no higher than the existing structure. The existing structure was built prior to the current revision of the Fridley city code which establishes dwelling proAimity to property lines. We are asking for a variance to allow the addition to be built closer to the east and south property lines than the current city guidelines normally permit. As the site plan shows, the additton, if approved, wtll continue the extsting line of the house along the east property line at the present 6 feet distance. We feel that the 15 foot width of the addition is the acceptable minimum based on its 37 foot length. Otheiwise the room's dimensions seem odd and abnormal, and the addition may not be worth building. The 15 foot width of the addition reduces the distance of the south property line from 37 to 22 feet. If you need more information than what is provided here, please call us.

MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Smith, to open the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON RIIECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:32 P.M. � n n APPEALS COMMI88ION MEETING. JIILY 13. 1993 PAGL 2 Ms. McPherson stated this property is located in the Riverview Heights Addition in the northwest corner of the City. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are all surrounding parcels. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioners are proposing to construct a 15 feet (depth) by 37 feet (width) addition to the rear of the existing single family dwelling unit. The petitioners are. requesting that four variances be granted. Lot Area - to reduce the lot area from 7 500 square feet to 6 600 square feet Ms. McPherson stated the parcel is 6,600 square feet in area. The property has been a lot of record since prior to 1955. Granting this particular variance is appropriate, as denial of the lot area variance would render the property unbuildable and would constitute a taking. Side Yard�- to reduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 4 8 feet Ms. McPherson stated the existing dwelling unit is located 4.8 feet from the side lot line. The petitioners could jog the proposed addition to meet the setback requirement; however, the petitioners are proposing to continue the encroachment for the proposed addition wall. In addition, the dwelling unit to the east appears to be located at the required setback; therefore, there would not be a reduction in the distance between the structures. Rear Yard - to reduce the rear yard setback from 27 feet to 22 feet Ms. McPherson stated the front yard setback is 48 feet as opposed to the required 35 feet. Therefore, if the dwelling was set at the required 35 feet, there would be adequate room in the rear yard to meet the minimum setback requirements. The dwelling unit directly to the south of the petitioners� dwelling unit is located approxi- mately 44 feet from the rear lot line; therefore, granting the rear yard variance would not have an adverse impact on the adjacent property. Lot Coveraae - to increase the maximum lot coverage from 25 a to 310 Ms. McPherson stated that lot coverage is typically a function of the lot area as it is a percentage of the lot that is allowed to be covered by structures. The petitioners are proposing a total square footage of 2,072 square feet. Twenty-five percent of 6,600 square feet is 1,650 square feet, and the proposed lot coverage exceeds this maximum by 400 square feet. Ms. McPherson stated that if this lot was the typical 9,000 square foot lot, the maximum lot coverage would be 2,250 square feet, and the proposed addition would be within that maximum. � �� APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. JIILY 13. 1993 PAGE 3 Ms. McPherson stated that if the lot coverage variance is approved, it would be the most extreme granted by the City. The closest similar request approved for an increase in lot coverage was 28.6�. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends that the Appeals Commission approve the lot area variance so as not to render the property unbuildable. If the Commission approves all the variances, staff has no stipulations to recommend. Mr. Kuechle asked where the other lot was located where a variance was granted for lot area to 28.6�. Ms. McPherson stated the address of that lot is 590 Rimball Street which is approximately the same size as the petitioners' lot. Mr. Stanley Barone stated the sole use of this addition will be for a family room with a fireplace. Along with the addition, he would be adding air conditioning and a new furnace. They believe the addition will make the house look very nice. It is going to blend in nice with the neighborhood. The roof line of the addition will actually be lower than the existing roof line, because the addition will be 2-3 feet lower than the rest of the house with steps going down into the family room. The reason he is asking for a rear yard setback variance is because if he makes the addition any narrower, it will not be very usable. Dr. Vos asked if he had any objections to the addition from the neighbor to the east. Mr. Barone stated he has specifically talked to this neighbor, and she said she has no objection to the addition as proposed. Mr. Ruechle stated the only part of this variance request that bothers him is the lot coverage. He is a little concerned about the future as the petitioner only has a single car garage. Mr. Barone stated he has to live with the single car garage. There is really no way to expand the single car garage to a double car garage. He could construct a new garage in front of the house, but he has no intention of doing that. There are a lot of trees in the front yard, and he likes the way the house sits with the large front yard setback. Dr. Vos stated that with the 6,600 square foot lot, to be able to stay within the 25% lot coverage, the biggest addition the petitioners could construct is 133 square feet which is a pretty small addition. To be able to construct a usable sized addition, the petitioners would have to go larger than 25� lot coverage, because it would not be very efficient to add about 4 feet onto the back of the house. MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded by Dr. Vos, to close the public hearing. n �, APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. JIILY 13, 1993 PA(3E 4 IIPON A VOICE VOTE� ALI� VOTING AYB� VICE—CHAIRPERSON RIIECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7s50 P.M. Dr. Vos stated the lot area variance from 7,500 square feet to 6,600 square feet is necessary. The side yard setback on the east is existing structure, and the rear yard variance is dependent on the fact that the house is set so far back from the street. So, the only variance of concern is the lot coverage. Ms. Smith stated her biggest concern with granting the lot coverage variance to 31� is that it sets a precedent for other requests; however, a narrower addition would defeat the purpose of constructing an addition. Mr. Ruechle stated he also is concerned about the increase in lot coverage from 25� to 31�, although it is probably a little arbitrary to hassle over a 2.4� difference. He would vote in favor of all the variances. MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded Dr. Vos, to approve variance, VAR. #93-14, by Stanley and Patricia Barone, per Section 205.07.03.D. 2.(a) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 4.8 feet; per Section 205.07.03.D.3.(a) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the rear yard setback from 27 feet to 22 feet; per Section 205.07.03.0 of the Fridley Zoning Code, to increase the maximum lot coverage from 25o to 310; and per Section 205.07.03.A.(2) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the lot area from 7,500 square feet to 6,600 square feet; to allow the construction of an addition on Lots 30-31, Block P, Riverview Heights Addition, the same being 686 Kimball Street N.E.
