and neither of them had any comments on him building a garage.
Drigans asked who were the constructors of this particular house.
Simengaard replied, Carlson Construction Company.
Drigans asked what material was used for siding on this particular
house. Simengaard replied, with shakes,and I intend to continue
to use shakes on the garage to tie it to the house just as the
roof'line of the house will tie together with the garage.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
The Board discussed the variance and proposed a motion.
MOTION by Kemper, seconded by Wahl berg, that the request for a

Manor, South Addition, The Same being 149=49th Avenue N.E., Fridley,

Item 42. A REQUEST FOR VARIANCE OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, SECTION 205.0539,

(REQUEST BY -JAMES -w- TLLE RBECK).
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Kemper, to open the public hearing.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. James W. Billerbeck was present and was asked to state his
request. He explained that a building inspector was out and two
or three contractors to look at his back yard and about the only
place that I can put the garage without killing the fifty year
old Maple Tree would be 20'feet from the alley.
Drigans asked if it was a driveable alley where Billerbeck wants to
put his garage. (yes)
Billerbeck explained that he thought moving the garage 5 feet
closer to the alley would leave enough room to park cars without
hedging on the alley. I have talked to my neighbors and they had
no comments. I have lilac hedges on three sides so it would not
be an eye sore. If I can put.it in this way I can also match the
roof the same angle as the house roof. Otherwise I will have to
build a narrow long garage.
Gabel asked who maintains the alley in the winter time?. He thought
the City of Fridley did.

The Minutes of the Appeals Commission Meeting of July 29, 1975
Wahlberg comments that there really isn't enough room above the
• existing garage to expand another 12 feet. Billerbeck replies,
It would leave two feet from the lot line.
Drigans asked what Billerbeck intended to do with the existing
garage or foundation.. Billerbeck replied, as soon as I can get
the new garage up I would block off the big door and fill in the
driveway and leave the garage for storage.
Plemel asked if the old garage was close to the house and Billerbeck
replied one wall of the garage.is the basement wall. The garage is
12 feet wide. The lot has all been surveyed so it is within a 6
inch variance of what was figured.
Wahlberg asked if there -was a driveway now down into the front of the
garage and Billerbeck replied there is a cement walled driveway from
the street in. It is too. steep as I don't know how we can use it
especially in the winter. I am going to tear up the existing drive-
way and make a yard out of it. The exterior of the house is stucco
and I intend to put an imitation stucco on the outside of the garage
and they can be painted if needed.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Kemper, to close the public hearing..
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays,.the motion carried.
The Board discussed the variance and proposed a motion.
