F AvDV AT C rnr.gAT(ZcTnN TA7R.rPTNA - ATTGTTST 23. 1977 Page 1 r Mr. .PrIeditis of 6031 Benjamin Street NE expres�ed concern because of the amount of excavation.being.done to the area to the rear of the proposed house. He -felt -that M7. Joseph was getting very close to the rear hill. Mr. Joseph explained that they were not going back any further, he said that they wanted to add to the side of the garage and wouldn't be adding anything to the rear. Mr. Prieditis, said that he would like to see Mr. Joseph's builder's plans. He indicated that his main concern was the bank of earth that would be right against Mr. Joseph's garage. Mr. Joseph said that the bank next to his garage would be terraced all the way to the end of his lot. Mr. .Prieditis explained that people were making drastic changes to the geology in the area. He said that there was a State Code that said that the slope of that hill should be no steeper than three horizontal to one vertical. Mr. Holden indicated on a map exactly where the proposed house would be located. He also showed where the other lots in the area would be. He then explained Mr. Priedih's lot in relations to the Joseph's lot. Mr. Holden went on to explain that there was a grading plan that has been approved by.the City in regards to the grading of the hill that Mr. Prieditis- is concerned about. He said that that plan did not effect the petitioner that much because his request was for a garage setback of 35 feet. Mr. Holden said that the grading of the hill in question in respect to the approval of the Zander's first addition was a grading plan that was submitted and approved. He said that if there was a problem with regards to the grading plan, then that should be taken up with the City Manager. He explained that the question of the grading plan should not be discussed or heard at the Appeals Commission. Vice -Chairwoman Gabel said that the question that was to be addressed that night was the request for a variance. Mr. Priediti}s said that he wanted to go on record that he objects to any further grading changes. Mr. Joseph explained that Mr. Howard Thorson would do the terracing'of the land. He said that that had been an agreement when he purchased the land. Mr. Kemper said that he felt that the concern for the grading of the land was a valid concern. Mr. Holden showed the audience and the Commission the approved grading plan. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - AUGUST 2 , 1977 Page 14 t Vice -Chairwoman Gabel said -that whether.he gets that -variance or not he would still have." .that terracing. Mr. Joseph said that the cost of the lots included the terracing. Mr. Barna asked Mr. Prieditis. if now that Mr. Joseph understood the building situation, did he still have any objections. Mr. Priedih said that he wouldn't have any objections He said that his main concern was with the developer and the grading project. MOTION by Mr. Kemper, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to close the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was closed at 9:04 P.M. Mr. Barna said that looking at the public purpose served as to provide open space between the structures to reduce conflagration of fire, he said that the additional two feet would be concrete block irregardless and he said that there wouldn't be access to the rear yard along that side whether he added the two feet or not, and since the neighborhood residence was 34 feet from the lot line and since the petitioners had been informed of the building difficulties, he would have no objections to the variance. Mr. Kemper said that he really didn't see much of a hardship involved, but because of the large space that would be between the petitioners home and the neighborhood residence, he :would reluctantly go along with granting the variance. Mr. Plemel said that if there would have been any objections, he would have recommended denial of the variance since two feet would not have really made a great difference. MOTION by Mr. Barrna, seconded. by Mr. Plemel, to approve the request for a variance of Section 205,053, 4, B412 Fridley City Code, to reduce the side .yard adjoining an attached garage from the required five feet to three feet to allow the construction of a house angarage, located on Lot 32 Block 11 Zanders First Addition, the same being 6034 McKinley Street, Fridley, Minnesota.
