BY RICHARD AND CAROLYN LARSON PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 205.07.3 D 3a OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, ,_ONCE THE REAR YARD SE BCK FROM 30 FEET TO 20 FEETCONST TION OF ADDITIONAL LIVING SPACE ON LOT 2 BLOCK 6, INNSBRUCK FIRST ADDI THE SAtiE BEING 5316 MATTERHORN DRIVE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. 55421. MOTION BY MR. BARNA, SECOND BY DR. VOS, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:10 P.M. „ Chairperson Betzold read the Administrative Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 5316 MATTERHORN DRIVE N.E. VAR #87-03 A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.3, D, 3a, requires a rear yard with a depth of not less than 25 percent of the lot depth and 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. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "The kitchen is too small and we would like to put a dinette in the addition. The family room is in the basement and molds and mildew build up in the furniture and carpeting. Carolyn has allergy problems and we would like to have the addition become the family room where a mildew problem could be eliminated." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: This property lies on the western side of Matterhorn Drive and the house faces east. Both of the houses on the two adjacent properties do not face Matterhorn Drive --the house on the north faces Skywood Lane, and the house to the south faces 53rd Avenue. Both of these houses have attached garages that are in excess of 23 feet from the common property line. Therefore, if the proposed addition was constructed, it will be at least 43 feet to the nearest adjacent structures. If the Appeals Commission approves this request, staff has no stipulations to recommend. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 17, 1987 PAGE 8 W Mr. Clark stated there was one correction in the staff report. The house that faces Skywood Lane did not have an attached garage. There was space to build a garage, and a permit was issued a few years ago, but the garage was never built. The reason for the large space between the side of the petitioner's addition the proposed addition was because there used to be a street there that was vacated. The street was 33 ft. wide and when it was vacated, it all went to the property owners on the west. The City has retained a 15 ft. easement for a waterline. Mr. Larson stated at this time the kitchen was too small for four adults. As stated in the staff report, his wife does have allergy problems. and they would like to have the family room upstairs to get away from the mold and mildew problem. lie stated they do have a very quiet and private backyard with a privacy fence all around it. Mr. Larson submitted letters to the Commission from neighbors stating they had no objection to the addition and a medical letter from a registered nurse regarding Mrs. Larson's allergies. MOTION BY MR. BARNA, SECONDED BY MR. SHEREK, TO RECEIVE THE LETTERS FROM ROBERT OULICKY, SANDY & RAY PRESTEMON, KEVIN & PAM O'ROURKE, AND A LETTER FROM A REGISTERED NURSE, CAROL MAECKELROY. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, Mr. Larson stated they had drawings done to see if they could stay within the 11 ft. setback, and they ended up with a stubby, compact area that really did not fit their needs. If they have to stay within code, the addition would be 11 ft. by 24 ft. Mr. Tom Albers, 1390 Skywood Lane, stated he had no objection to the Larson's butAdina the addition. Mr. Larson would be using his property for access for building this addition. Mr. Robert Oulicky, 5332 Matterhorn Drive, stated he did not have any objection. MOTION BY MR. BARNA, SECONDED BY MR. SHEREK, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:30 P.M. Mr. Barna stated he felt the most important factor here, including the hardship, was the fact that this house was set back about 57 ft. from the curb instead of 35 ft.; therefore, limiting the backyard space before an addition. So, another 10 ft. to the back was not going to make any difference. Mr. Betzold stated the Appeals Commission periodically gets similar requests. If this house was located somewhere else, they might have to look at it more 40 �• APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 17, 1987 PAGE 9 closely. The question of the allergies which was a very big concern to the petitioner did not quite meet the statutory test. One of the things that did make this a hardship was the uniqueness of the property. He did not think they would see very many neighborhoods or houses that were very similar to this one where there was a road vacation, and the houses on both side face in opposite directions. All these factors made it easier for the petitioner to put on an addition that might not be feasible for another house in another location. Mr. Sherek stated because of the lack of problems with this and the purpose of the code being for green area and visual space, he did not see any problem with putting the addition on the back of the house. However, it was hard for him to come up with a hardship for this request. Since there was not really much of.a hardship, but there was also not much of a problem with the request, he would vote in favor of the variance. MOTION BY MR. BARNA, SECONDED BY MR. SHEREK, TO APPROVE VARIANCE REQUEST, VAR X187-03, BY RICHARD AND CAROLYN LARSON, PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 205.07.3, D, 3a, OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE TO REDUCE THE REAR YARD SETBACK FROM 30 FEET TO 20 FEET TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL LIVING SPACE ON LOT 2, BLACK 6, INNSBRUCK FIRST ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 5316 MATTERHORN DRIVE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA, 55421. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 4. CONSIDERATION OF A FIRST DRAFT OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ZONING Mr. Betzold stated he had discussed this proposed ordin a change with the Planning Commission members at their meeting. Theyseemed to be very much in favor of it. Mr. Clark stated this was handed out to sexal people who work at City Hall, and they all seemed to be able to inter t it. He thought the wording was clear enough that anyone who reads t ordinance should be able to understand it. Ne stated legal counsel woul also be reviewing it to make sure the language was legally correct the numbering. Mr. Clark stated if the peals Commission was in agreement with the proposed ordinance change, th should recommend approval of it to the City Council. He stated that as ay person, he was very much in favor of it. The Commis ners agreed they were in favor of the proposed ordinance change. It show help alleviate some of the variance requests they get for garage expa ions where there was already a hardship because of the uniqueness of pe property or the way the house was situated on the lot, and there was really no need for the Commission to spend time on these types of requests.
