Peterson 2441 Lyndale Aveue South Minneapolis, Mn 55405 Re: Variances for 601 1 6019 "-flaTn Street Dear Mr. Peterson: On April 3, 1978 the Fridley City Council officially approved your request for variances with the stipulations listed below. Please review the noted stipulations, sign the statement below, and return one copy to the City of Fridley. If you have any gUestions regarding the above action, please call the Community Development Office at 571-3450. Sincerely, TY PLANNER JLB/de Stipulations: 1. Parking to be blacktopped and curbed 2. Rubish containers to be screened 3. Improvements to be coordinated with street improvement projects 4. Completed no later than September 15, 1978 Concur with action taken. Item #4, March 14, 1978 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6011 Main Street N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.075, 1, E,l, 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 ration 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'? 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.

The Public Hearing was opened at 9:06 P.M. Mr. Thomson was present at the meeting representing Mr. Peterson. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section.205.07.50,E0, 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 five feet from the side property line. The purpose served.is to reduce visual pollution in area adjacent to lot lines and to separate parking with landscaped areas. Section 205.05391,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. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - MARCH 14, 19,8 Page 10 Mr. Rolstad had the plans of the house -with him. He said that the plans were not exactly what he was going to build, He said. that the house he was building was to be two feet longer than the one shown on the plans, and he said that his house would not have the fireplace. He said that he planned to have a solar heating unit located on the roof of the planned house. Mr... Rolstad said that he needed the extra garage space to store cars, boats, etc. Chairperson Schnabel asked if any of the garage space would be used for anything other than their private usage. Mr. Barna asked if any of the garage space would be used for business -type activity. Mr. Rolstad said that the garages were all needed and would be used for their personal activities and storage. Mr. Rolstad showed the Commission on the sketch approximately where the proposed house would be built and where the existent garage was located. Mr. Moravetz said that whatever the Appeals Commission decided that -night, it would not have any effect on the Lot Split request that would go before the Planning Commission on March 22nd. He said that Mr. Holden suggested that both variances be received at the March 14th meeting prior to the Lot Split and pending the Special Use Permit approval. Mr. Kemper said that the Appeals Commission had to view the request as.an existing situation, without considering any type of lot split. MOTION by Mr. Plemel, 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 9:02 P.M. MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Barna, that the Appeals Commission recommend approval of the request for variances of the ,Fridley City Code, as follows: Section 205.053,5,B, to reduce the side yard setback-of'an existing detached garage and a proposed tuck -under garage, which both open on a side street, from the required 25 feet to 20 feet; Section 205,053,3 to increase the maximum lot coverage by the main building and accessory buildings from 25/ to 26.40; to allow the construction of a dwelling with a tuck -under garage (subject to approval of Special Use Permit, SP #78-03 for a second accessory building), to be located on Lot 159 and the southerly 15 feet of Lot 14, Plymouth Addition, the same being 4600 2nd Street NE, Fridley, Minnesota. C APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - MARCH 14, . 19Z8 , page 12 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 'ruse" 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 ft by 20 ft stalls to abut the boulevard, but not in the boulevard. Eight (8) stalls at nine feet wide would equal 72 feet of parking width on this 80 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. Mr. Moravetz said that the owner of the property in 1965 had requested and was granted a variance to park in the front yard. He said that the variance read that the owner at that time had wanted to pave the .front parking area. He indicated that, to date-, the parking lot had never been paved. Mr. Thomson said that the request was exactly the same for 6011 and 6019 and very similar to the previous variance requests for 6021 and 6035 Main Street. He said that the difference mainly was that the properties at 6011 and 6019 had the trash recepticals located to the rear of the buildings. Mr. Plemel asked how the trucks got to the rear of the buildings to empty the dumpsters. Mr. Thomson said that the trucks could go inbetween the.two buildings because Lots 20 & 21 were vacant and the trucks could drive across them. He said that Mr. Peterson also owned the two lots. Mr. Barna said that City should deny access to the rear yard via the driveway on the South side of the property. He suggested encouraging the petitioner to have some green area on the South side of the building. Mr. Thomson said that the present time both buildings were using a common dumpster located between the two buildings. He said that for the indefinite future, the dumpster would remain at that location and the driveway would be placed between the two buildings, giving the trash trucks access to the dumpsters. He said that if, and when, it was ever decided to do any improvements to the lot, the petitioner would have to redo the curbing at that time.

MINDER ENGINUIZING CO., INC. LPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - MARCH 14, 1978 Page 13 Chairperson Schnabel asked about a parking lot being developed to the rear of the building. Mr. Thomson said that it would be too expensive and would restrict the future, possible, development of the vacant lots. He didn't believe that their having the parking in the front was any different than the previous requests for 6021 and 6035 Main Street. Chairperson Schnabel explained that the differences were the fact of the slope of the rear property on those lots almost prohibited a driveway to the rear of the property without the expense of the alley being.opened up. Mr. Thomson said that the two vacant lots were also serving as green area in the neighborhood. Mr. Ronald McClain of 6007 Main Street NE was present at the meeting regarding this request. He wanted to see the five foot setback maintained on that property'. He said that in years previous garbage trucks that had used the south property driveway had managed to ruin the lawn and some small shrubs- He felt it would help him beautify his property if that five feet were maintained because it would allow for more.green areas. Chairperson Schnabel explained to Mr. McClain that it had been agreed not to have a curb cut at the existing south driveway. She said that all the parking would be in the front yard with no access to the rear at the south side of the building. Mr. Kemper said that there would be the possibility of having the entire south side of the property used just for green area in the neighborhood. Mr. McClain thought it would definitely be a good idea. He said that he had no concerns as long as it was done the way the Appeals Commission was suggesting. Mr. Moravetz indicated to Mr. Thomson that Mr. Peterson had the same options as Mr. Waara and Mr. Hart had been given regarding the paving of their properties. Mr. Thomson said that he would relay the information to Mr. Peterson and have Mr. Peterson call Mr. Moravetz for the details. 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 9:34 P.M. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - MARCH 149.1978 Page 14 Chairperson Schnabel said that the petitioner was in agreement to eliminate the drive area on the South side of the building by putting curbing across the entire easterly edge of the parking area, to reduce the size of the parking stalls, to reduce the side yard setbacks from five feet to four feet, and to eliminate the rear yard parking. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Plemel, that the Appeals Commission recommend approval of the request for variances of the Fridley City Code as follows: Section 205.0750,E,1, to allow the required off-street parking stalls to be zero feet to the front property line; Section 205.075,1,E,3 to allow off-street parking stalls to be located four feet from the front side property lines; Section 205.07502D2 to reduce the required parking stall width from ten feet to nine feet, and square footage from 200 square feet to 180 square feet, to allow 9 ft by 20 ft parking stalls; to allow continuation of existing parking in the front yard on Lots 18 and 192 Block 82 Hyde Park, the same being 6011 Main Street NE, Fridley, MN. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 5. REQUEST FOR VARIANCES OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 205.075,1,E,1.TO ALLOW THE REQUIRED OFF-STREET PARKING STALLS TO BE LOCATED IN THE FRONT YARD; AND SECTION 205.07509E,39 TO ALLOY OFF-STREET PARKING STALLS TO BE CLOSER.TO THE SIDE PROPERTY LINE THAN FIVE FEET; AND SECTION 205.0750.,D9 TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED PARKING STALL WIDTH FROM 10 FEET TO 9 FEET, AND .
