"Need roam for cars to be garaged --existing garage too small. Children
starting to drive."
•! 11 Y'• V• 1
The petitioner, Seviola Construction Company, is representing the
hameowner, Robert McKay, in requesting a variance to reduce the front yard
setback from 35 feet to 29.5 feet to allow the construction of an
additional garage on Lot 6, Block 5, Innsbruck 1st Addition, the same being
5218 Matterhorn Drive N.E.
Site
Located on the property is a single
under two car garage. The property
as are the properties to the north,
Analysis
family split-level home with a tuck -
is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling,
south, east, and west.
Section 205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley City Code requires front yard
setback of 35 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street
parking without encroaching on the public right-of-way and also for
aesthetic consideration to reduce the building "line of sight" encroachment
into the neighbor's front yard.
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 14.5 ft. by 24 ft. garage in
front of the existing garage. This would, in effect, make the garage
double deep to provide additional room for additional cars. While the lot
does have a severe change in topography which eliminates the potential for
a detached garage to be constructed in the rear yard, there is adequate
room in the existing two car garage and on the driveway to provide roan
for up to four cars.
The petitioner has reasonable use of the property with the existing two
car garage as required by code. The petitioner could construct a 9 foot
wide addition. There is still 45 feet between the garage and the public
right-of-way. The lot does not present a unique hardship which would
justify approval of the variance.

Per Section 205.07.03.D. (f)- of the Fridley City Code, to
reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 29.5 feet, to
allow the construction of a garage addition in front of the
existing garage, on Lot 6, Block 5, Innsbruck 1st Addition,
the same being 5218 Matterhorn Drive.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Dr. Vos, to open the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:31 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated this property is located on Matterhorn
Drive, just north of the Columbia Heights/Fridley border.
The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are the
properties surrounding it.
'�
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 14, 1991 PAGE 2
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed request is to construct a
14 1/2 ft. by 24 ft. garage addition in front of the existing
garage for storage of additional cars. The single family
dwelling unit currently has a tuck -under garage. The
topography of the lot is such that it prevents construction
of a detached accessory building in the rear yard. The only
access to such a structure would be along the south property
line, and the topography is such that it would prevent access
to the accessory building without considerable expense to the
petitioner.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner does have reasonable use
of the property without the proposed addition. The petitioner
could construct a garage addition of 9 feet wide and still
meet the code requirements. There is adequate area to store
additional cars in the front yard. There is a very wide
public right-of-way from Matterhorn Drive, so there is an
additional 16 foot boulevard from where the pavement of the
road ends to where the property line begins for this
particular lot. The lot itself does not present any unique
hardship which would justify approval of the variance.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Appeals Commission
recommend to the Council denial of the variance request.
MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to receive into
the record a letter from Rolan and Muriel Anderson, 5194
Matterhorn Drive, stating they have no objection to the
variance.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Robert McKay stated that he can come out 10 feet without
a variance. That gives him more storage, but cars are
approximately 16 feet long, and he would not have the length
to store 3-4 cars. He wants to keep his cars stored inside
to keep them from being vandalized.
Mr. Kuechle asked if it was possible to expand the garage to
the rear of the existing garage.
Mr. McKay stated that behind the garage is the reverse of a
walk -out. The backyard goes up from the basement window to
a very high point. They would have to go in and dig out a
hole in the backyard, and the whole addition would be under-
ground. There are also mature oak trees in the backyard.
Mr. Seviola stated they would have to take out the back wall
of the garage, excavate at least 14-16 feet of dirt out of
the backyard, and they would have to put in block walls. It
would escalate the cost of the construction three to four
times.
M
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 14, 1991 PAGE 3
Dr. Vos stated another suggestion would be to add 10 feet on
the front and 5 1/2 feet off the back.
Mr. Seviola stated that would still increase the construction
costs considerably. He stated they are only requesting a
variance of 5 1/2 feet. The appearance of the house will not
be changed at all.
Mr. McKay stated the way the addition is designed, the peak
of the house to the left would be matched with the peak on
the new garage. It would be architecturally sound and the
house will actually look better.
Mr. McKay stated that they are seeing more and more vandalism
in their neighborhood. He stated he likes to have his things
stored inside. Automobiles are too expensive to store
outside. His property is well maintained with a security
system.
Mr. McKay stated that hardships are different for different
people. From his viewpoint, the cost of automobiles and the
maintaining and repair of automobiles, particularly in
Minnesota, is a hardship. If he had a flat lot, there would
be no problem; but the only way he could add on the back would
be to dig out the back yard at a substantial additional cost.
He would not be before the Commission if it was feasible to
do that.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to close the
public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:00 P.M.
Ms. Smith stated it certainly made more sense to construct
the addition on the front than off the back. The addition
would not infringe on the site lines. However, she is
reluctant to set a precedent for expanding garages, and she
did not want to see them get into the habit of giving
variances.
Ms. Savage stated that she is sure that the majority of the
people in Fridley have the same need for more garage space.
Most garages will not accommodate four cars. She did not see
a hardship, and she also is concerned about setting a
precedent for the expansion of garages. Even 1 foot sets a
precedent. She would vote against the variance request.
Mr. Kuechle stated he is also inclined to vote against the
variance. There is another option, even though that option
is inconvenient and more expensive. He agreed with Ms. Savage
91
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 14, 1991 PAGE 4
that there are probably very few homes in Fridley that
couldn't use more garage space. If they allow one person to
expand, then they have to allow everyone to expand.
Dr. Vos stated he realized that the option of expanding to
the rear is somewhat of a hardship; however, it is an economic
hardship, and they cannot accept economic hardships as a valid
reason for granting a variance.
Ms. Smith stated she just did not see going from a two car
garage to a four car garage as a hardship.
MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to recommend to
City Council denial of variance request, VAR #91-09, by
Seviola Construction Company representing Robert P. McKay,
per Section 205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley City Code, to
reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 29.5 feet, to
allow the construction of a garage addition in front of the
existing garage, on Lot 6, Block 5, Innsbruck 1st Addition,
the same being 5218 Matterhorn Drive.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. McPherson stated this item will go to City Council on June
3, 1991.
