WILLIAM DRIGANS CHAIRMAN BOARD OF APPEALS Page 7 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of December 11, 1973 Mr. Lahti asked Mr. Qureshi if he was aware of the blue clay strata in the area that is down about 15 feet, that has caused springs from the underground water flow. Mr. Qureshi answered he was not aware of it and that he would check into it. Mr. Erickson said he would probably object if the house was placed forward from the proposal but the way it is he has no objections. Mr. Qureshi stated he could meet the setback requirements but he felt this layout would be better for the adjacent property owners as well as for himself. Chairman Drigans stated that in 1970 another request for a sideyard variance and a front yard variance had been asked for on this property by a previous owner. He said there was a letter in the file from the St. Paul Waterworks which stated they had no objections at that time and apparently they have no objections to this present variance as they have made no response to the notice that was sent them. MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to recommend to Council approval of the variances as the neighbors seem to prefer this plan to building to Code and because the St. Paul Waterworks seem to have no objections. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. 5.

The owner, Dr. Conrad Nauman irishes to build a covered -porch on the south end of the house. This porch would be 81 x 24 If permission is granted to build said norch it would be about 10feet from the south lot line, however, as the drawing sho,,,rs, the boulevard on this corner is in excess of 50 feet therefore allowing good view of the cross street. Also note thpt the design of the building does have the house setback on the lot, and allows for added view of cross street. esp�rectfullly(�su�bmitted, Edwin 11. Drops Tr.

WILLIAM DRIGANS CHAIRMAN BOARD OF APPEALS The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee. Meeting of January 15, 1974 Page_5_ Mr. Bettcher presented a set of his house plans to the Board. He said the dwelling is an L-shaped design and the garage would be 50 feet from the property line but the house would extend back another 37 feet. Chairman Crowder asked if the neighbor directly to the south had any qualms about the setback? Mr. Bettcher said the neighbor liked the setback as the house would not block his view of the river. Chairman Crowder asked if the back of the house was to be finished as he said the Board had one recent case where the neighbor had an objection to the variance as he did not want to look at a block wall. Mr. Bettcher said that he was not going to have a walk -out type house, so the back would be finished. Chairman Crowder asked if it was the applicants impression that he would have to install his own septic tank if the house was moved back? Mr. Bettcher said no, but he would probably have to install a pumping station or build a very high house to avoid the plumbing problems. MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mrs. Gabel stated the hardship seems to be the plumbing problems that would be created by moving the house farther back, and since no one objects, she can see no reason for not approving the variance. MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, approval of the variance for the above stated reasons. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.

Chairman Crowder explained to the Board that this item had been tabled at the December 11, 1973 meeting as no one was present to present the request. The item then went to Council on December 17, 1973, where the applicant presented it, and the Council approved the variance. Mr. Mattson stated this house is on the corner of Matterhorn and Hillwind Road and the boulevard on the variance side (Hillwind) is 50 feet so there should be no problem. He added there are no plans to widen Hillwind toad. Chairman Crowder stated that since the design of the house and the boulevard allows for good visibility for the cross traffic, and since the Council has approved this request already, he could see no reason why the Board shouldn't approve it. • The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of'January 15, 1974 Page 6 MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, approval of the variance as there is such a wide boulevard.

REQUEST BY AL ZEIS, 255 94TH AVENUE N. W., C N P DIRKS, MINNESOTA): The City Engineer placed a plan of the buildings on the easel and suggested the Council grant approval of the foundation permit only and the applicant would return in the future with completed plans for the five buildings. Mr. Zeis addressed the Council and said the exterior of the buildings would be break off block and brick. He explained the piece of property to be triangular in shape and difficult to develop: He informed the Council that the same style of building would be used throughout the piece of property rather than varying sizes with different shapes. i The City Engineer advised the Council that a six foot utility easement was needed. Mr. Zeis continued explaining the proposed construction stating the narrowest distance between any two buildings would be 90 feet, and he thought this would be large enough to turn around in. He said the distances would vary from 90 to 130 feet. The City Engineer recommended to the Council that they approve the location of the proposed structures at the present time and also approve the foundation permit. He continued, the applicant could return to the Council for plan approval. Mayor Liebl said the applicant would have to come back to the Council for approval of the building plans and the landscape plans. Mr. Zeis said he would plan for completion of the project in two years, he hoped to be completed by this time, but with the economy the way it is, it could take this long. He continued explaining he would only be building two of the structures at this time. Mayor Liebl asked the applicant if he would be able to come back in a Month with the building plan and the landscaping plan, and Mr. Zeis indicated he would be back to the Council for this consideration. Councilman Utter asked if the facilities would be general warehouse or factory and Mr. Zeis said they would be either, or what he could lease them as. He commented, he may sell two of the buildings and keep one like he had done on Beech Street. MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the location of the two buildings and also approve the issuance of the foundation permit for the two buildings. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. i f 243 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 17, 1973 PAGE 7 of the lots would be unbuiidable. He stressed that all of the area people would have to be protected and he questioned if the properties should be split up in this manner. He indicated the plan for development should be orderly and according to the plan of the City. A member of the audience addressed the Council and said Mr. Rothgeber was ill at the time of the present meeting and he was representing him in the request for the variance. The man said there is a home on an eighty foot lot which Mr. Rothgeber plans to upgrade and spend about $4,000 for this upgrading. He added, he would like to convert the use of the dwelling to that of offices for attorneys or real estate. Mayor Liebl said this is not what the Council had envisioned for this area - and this would not meet the square foot requirements for the development of the area. The City Attorney said the original square foot requirements were for i 25,000 square feet per building site and had been amended to 20,•000. Councilman Nee said he thought the request for the variance had to be denied. He was not sure if the actions and requirements of this area should have been placed there in the first place, but since this had been done, they would have to make the best of it. He added, if the Council was going to take action like this, it would have to be followed. He said this may be pain- ful for the area people; but they would have to hold out until it is profit- able for them to sell. He said he thought the Planning Department should be assigned to study the area for the best possible development instead of continuing to just try to grasp the answers out of the area people while they try to develop the area. Councilman Nee said he thought it would be the best possibility to encourage one man to buy the area and develop it. He recalled there are some very nice homes across the street from this property, and these people's interests must be protected. He said if this property is to be developed,it would have to be a good neighbor to the people of the area because many of them would be there for a long time. He went on to state, the neighborhood should not have to put up with a mess, the ordinances should be enforced. b� Councilman Nee repeated that the people should have some concepts for guidance on what could be done and what could happen to the area. MOTION by Councilman Nee to deny the request for the variance as requested by Mr. Rothgeber. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. A REQUEST FOR VARIANCES OF SECTION 20.5.153, 2, FRIDLEY CITY CODE.

Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. The City Engineer said this request had been made by White Oak Builders and there was a problem with the construction time table. A representative of White Oak Builders addressed the Council and said he had talked to all of the area people personally, and none of them objected to the approval of the request. The representative said he had not been informed that he was to attend the Subcommittee meeting and had not gone to the.meeting. He said the footings are in and the blocks are being put in at the present time. �1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 21, 1974 PAGE 9 The City -Manager said the Board of Appeals had recommended approval of the request in the sign variance which was for the purpose of changing the wording of the sign for special events. Councilman Starwalt said the applicant had ordered the sign and did not know until after that time that this was not a conforming use in the Codes. He said he thought the addition would be a benefit to the applicant and the area.
