PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.075, 1, E,1, prohibiting parking in required front yard. The purpose served is to reduce visual pollution in the front yard. Section 205.075, 1, E,3, prohibiting parking any closer than 5 feet from the property line. The purpose served is to reduce visual pollution in areas adjacent to lot lines and to separate parking with landscaped areas. B. STATED HARDSHIP: Property has had off-street parking for approximately 18 years, ever since the structure was constructed. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The Code sections involved are for R-3 zones. The duplex is an R-2 use, but the code sections are identical, therefore the R-3 sections are used.

REQUEST FOR VARIANCES OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 205.07501E911 TO ALLOW THE REQUIRED OFF-STREET PARKING STALLS TO BE LOCATED IN THE REQUIRED -FRONT YARD; AND SECTION 205.07591,E09 TO ALLOW OFF-STREET PARKING STALLS TO BE CLOSER TO THE SIDE PROPERTY LINE THAN FIVE FEET; TO ALLOW CONTINUATION OF EXISTING PARKING IN FRONT AND/OR SIDE YARDtON LOTS 2D BLOCK 9, HYDE PARK, THE SAME BEING 5961 MA=5961MAIIN]ESTREEIT:NE) FRILMINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY JEAN D. OLSON-GAZD FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55432). MOTION BY Mr. Kemper, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to open the Public. Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was opened at 10:03 P.M. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - MARCIi 14,-1228 Page 15 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6019 MAIN STREET NE. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.075, 1, E,1, prohibiting parking in required front yard. The purpose served is to reduce visual pollution in the front yard. Section 205.053, 1, E,3, prohibiting parking any closer than 5 feet. from the property line. The purpose served is to reduce visual pollution in area adjacent to lot lines and to separate parking with landscaped areas. Section 205.053, 1, D, requiring a parking stall to be a minimum of 10 feet by 20 feet and 200 square feet. The purpose served is to provide adequate room between large vehicles. B. STATED HARDSHIP: We wish to continue the present front yard off-street parking. The cost for making a parking lot would be prohibitive - it would increase the rents too much for that area. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: It was determined by the City Zoning Administrator that this four-plex apartment is to be treated as a R-3 (multiple dwelling) use in an R-2 (two family structures) district. Therefore, all City Code sections quoted are for the property's actual "use'! in an R-2 zoning district. The present code, which came after the building was constructed, calls for a total of 7.5 parking stalls. The ratio is based on one -one bedroom unit, three -two bedroom units. The parking suggested would be similar to what's existing, with 9' by 20' stalls to abut the boulevard, but not in the boulevard. Eight (8) stalls at 7 feet wide would equal 72 feet.of parking width on this 82 foot lot. Staff suggests that a four (4) foot setback from the property line to the parking stall be maintained in the side yard. (See attached drawing). Parking in the side yard is impractical, but a driveway space is provided for some parking -stalls without a variance: 0 APPEALS C014MISSION MEETING - MARCH 1L, 1978. Page 17 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT A. 'PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07591,E09 prohibiting parking in front yard. The purpose served is to reduce visual pollution in the front yard. Section 205.075,1,E,3, prohibiting parking any closer than five feet from the property line. The purpose served is to reduce visual pollution in areas adjacent, to lot lines and to s ).:,rate parking with landscaped areas. B.. STATED HARDSHIP: Property has had off-street parking for approximately 18 years, ever since the structure was constructed. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The Code sections involved are for R-3 Zones. The duplex is an R-2 use, but the.code sections are identical; therefore, the R-3 sections are used. The rear of the lot is serviced by an alley and adequate parking can be provided off the alley. Removal of the front yard parking would improve the looks of the front yard. Chairperson Schnabel asked if there was a rear exit to the building. Ms. Gazda said that there was a rear exit but there was no sidewalk and the yard sloped upwards. Ms. Gazda also explained that another hardship wasthefact that her grandmother, her mother, her brother, her husband and herself occupy the duplex. She said.that her grandmother was deaf and dumb and her brother was blind and it was easier for them to access from the•front of the building. She said that there was no sidewalk at the rear access. Chairperson Schnabel suggested that before the item went to City Council that the stated hardship include the fact that there were handicap people living in the duplex and there was better/easier ,access to the building through the front entrance. Ms. Gazda said that it was in the long range plans to add a garage in the rear yard. She said that at that time the rear exit would be improved and made more accessible; however she would still want to maintain the front parking area. .Mr. Kemper asked if the existing parking area in the front of the building was paved. Mr. Gazda said that it was blacktop surface. Mr. Moravetz said that there was enough blacktop on the property to accommodate four cars. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - MARCH 14 1978 Page 18 Mr:'Gazda wanted to know how the street improvement would effect their property. The Appeals Commission did not have an exact answer for Mr. Gazda. They informed him that he would-be notified of a Public Hearing once all the details were worked out. Chairperson Schnabel said that if they have an existing blacktop area, they would be better off using that area than to require them to blacktop any additional part of the property when it may not fit into their long-range plans. Mr. Barna said that it would be more economically feasible to allow the continuation of the present parking facilities. Mr. Moravetz indicated that the Gazda's would have the same three alternatives that had been offered to the previous petitioners. MOTION by Mr. Kemper, seconded by Mr. Barna, to close the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion ' carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was closed at 10:33 P.M. MOTION by Mr. Barnat seconded by Mr. Plemel, that the Appeals Commission recommend approval of the request for variances of the Fridley City Code as follows: Section 205.075a1,E,1, to allow the required off-street parking stalls to be located in'the front yard as presently existent; Section 205.075,1,E,3, to allow the parking stalls to be located zero feet from the front side property lines; to allow continuation of existing parking in front and/or side yard on Lots 25 and 26, Block g, Hyde Parks. the same being 5961 Main Street NE, Fridley, Minnesota.
