PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE REQUEST. VAR #06-06. BY JEFF RANWEILER Stacy Stromberg, City Planner, stated the petitioner is seeking a variance to reduce the side yard setback on the comer lot from 17.5 feet to 9.75 feet to recognize an existing non -conforming setback of the attached single -stall garage and to convert the existing attached garage. The petitioner is also requesting a variance to reduce the required side yard setback for an accessory structure which opens to the street from 25 feet to 19.06 feet to recognize the existing non- conforming setback of his detached garage which is located in the rear of the yard of the subject property. The recognition of these non -conformities is required prior to issuance of a building permit for the conversion of the existing garage into living space. Ms. Stromberg stated the summary of hardship submitted by the petitioner reads, "I am submitting this proposal to convert an attached garage into living space. Currently, the garage does not meet the Code of the City of Fridley. My proposal for the living space conversion will not change the structure of the home and garage in any way. Because I am on a comer lot, the current driveway is in a very dangerous location. When backing out of my driveway, one must be aware of traffic coming from three different directions which creates a major hazard. The detached garage is positioned in a much safer location and is utilized more often because of its location. It, however, doesn't meet setback codes of Fridley. Again, this structure was built in the 1970's and existed when I moved into the home. I would like to also request a variance for the detached garage so that it complies with setback codes of the City of Fridley. Ms. Stromberg stated the subject property is zoned R-1 Single Family as are all surrounding properties and is located on the comer of Monroe and 63`d Avenue. The lot is rectangular shaped with the house fronting on Monroe Street. The existing home was constructed in 1956 with the • t. i attached single -stall garage being constructed in 1959. The detached, double -car garage in the rear yard of the property was constructed in 1968. City code requires a minimum side yard setback of 17.5 feet for all structures on a comer lot in the R-1 Single Family zoning district. It also requires a side yard setback of 25 feet for accessory structures which open to the street. Therefore, the petitioner is seeking the two variance requests tonight. Ms. Stromberg stated it appears that both the attached garage and the detached garage were non -conforming at the time they were built and they were deficient in meeting setback requirements at the time of construction. Recognition of these non -conformities is required prior to the petitioner converting the existing attached garage into living space. The petitioner plans on converting the existing single stall into living space. The conversion has already started to take place. However, a stop order has been issued by our Building Department to ensure that construction inside the structure has been stopped until the variance could be obtained. The petitioner also plans to remove the existing driveway to the single -stall attached garage in the front yard to alleviate any further danger or confusion. A detached garage in the rear yard of the property will provide the vehicle parking space and storage space needed for the property owner. City staff has received two letters of support from neighboring property owners, one that is included in their packets and one that was received today in the mail. Ms. Stromberg stated City staff recommends approval of this variance request as the variance simply recognizes pre-existing conditions, converting the use from accessory to living space will have little impact on neighboring properties, and approving these variances should not set a precedent for undeveloped lots in the future. City staff recommends that if the variance is granted, the following stipulations be attached: 1. Petitioner shall obtain all necessary building permits prior to continued conversion of the garage space to living space. 2. Petitioner shall remove existing hard surface driveway to the attached single stall garage and restore curb and re-establish green area and landscaping in the front yard. Petitioner shall also comply with the vision safety requirements for the comer of the lot. Commissioner Jones asked what are the vision safety requirements? Ms. Stromberg replied that she put diagram in their packet for specifics. The requirements are when you measure on the comer of the lot, you have to measure back both directions 40 feet and then draw a line between those two 40 ft. points. Within that triangular area you cannot have any landscaping materials that are higher than 30 inches. Commissioner Jones asked is that from the comer of the lot or the comer from the curb comer? Ms. Stromberg replied the curb comer. Chairperson Kuechle asked if they need to put a date on the stipulation as to when the driveway has to be removed? Ms. Stromberg replied, that that would be fine, whatever date the Commission felt was fair. She believes in the past they have done a year. Commissioner Jones asked so when the City states the petitioner has to restore the curb, there is a cutout there, they put in a regular curb? 2 Ms. Stromberg replied, yes. Chairperson Kuechle asked if the petitioner was aware they can hire the City's contractor? And actually that is a pretty good deal. When he had his driveway put in and he told his contractor the price the City quoted him, and the contractor stated he could not do it for that amount. He asked the petitioner if he had anything to add? Jeff Ranweiler, petitioner, approached and stated no. MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff to receive letters from neighbors, Norlan Lee, 6463 63rd Avenue NE and also Richard and Muriel Vongaard at 6321 Monroe Street who had no objections to the variance request.

The petitioner is also seeking a variance to reduce the required side yard setback for an accessory structure which- opens to the street from 25 feet to 19.06 feet to recognize the existing non -conforming setback of the detached garage on his property, which is located at 6300 Monroe Street.

SUMMARY OF HARDSHIP "I am. submitting this proposal to convert an attached garage into living space. Currently, the garage does not meet the set back codes of the City of Fridley. My proposal for the living space conversion will not change the structure of the home and garage in any way. Because I am on a corner lot, the current driveway is in a very dangerous location. When backing out of my driveway, one must be aware of traffic coming from three different directions which creates a major hazard. The detached garage is positioned in a much safer location and is utilized more often because of its location. It however, doesn't meet setback codes of Fridley. Again, this structure was built in the 1970's and existed when I moved into the home. I would like to also request a variance for the detached garage so that is complies with setback codes of the City of Fridley."— also see attached hardship statement - Jeff Ranweiler ANALYSIS The property is zoned R-1 Single Family as are all surrounding properties. The property is located on the corner of Monroe Street and 63r Avenue, south of Mississippi Street. The lot is rectangular shaped, with the house fronting on Monroe Street. The existing home was constructed in 1956, with the attached single stall garage being constructed in 1959. The detached double car garage in the rear yard of the property was constructed in 1968. City code requires a minimum side yard setback of 17.5 feet for all structures on a comer lot in the R-1 Single �Jd I E Family zoning district. The petitioner is seeking to reduce the side yard setback requirement from 17.5 feet to 9.75 feet to simply recognize the existing non -conforming setback of the existing single stall attached garage. City code also requires a side yard setback of 25 feet for 3 accessory structures which open to the street. The petitioner is also seeking a variance to reduce the requirement from 25 feet to 19.06 feet to recognize the existing setback of the detached double car garage in the rear yard of the property. It appears that both of these non -conforming structures where built with a building permit, however they were deficient in meeting setback requirements at the time of construction. Recognition of these non -conformities is required before the petitioner can convert the existing attached garage into living space. Left Picture — Side yard setback reduction to 9.75 ft. Right Picture — Side yard setback for an accessory structure which opens to the street to 19.06 ft. The petitioner plans to convert the existing single stall garage attached to the home into living space. As you can tell from the picture above, the conversion of the garage to living space has already started to take place on the outside of the structure, however a stop work order has been issued by our building department to ensure that construction inside the structure has stopped until a variance could be obtained. The petitioner also plans to remove the existing driveway to the single stall attached garage to alleviate any further danger or confusion. The detached garage in the rear yard of the property will provide the vehicle parking space and storage space needed for the property owner. City staff has received one letter of support from a neighboring property owner. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of these variance requests. ■ The variances are simply recognizing pre-existing conditions. ■ Converting the use from accessory to living space will have little impact on neighboring properties. ■ Approving these variances should not set a precedent for undeveloped lots in the future. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends that if the variance is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. Petitioner shall obtain all necessary building permits prior to continued conversion of the garage space to living space. 2. Petitioner shall remove existing hard surface driveway to the attached single stall garage and restore curb and re-establish green area and landscaping in the front yard. Petitioner shall also comply with the vision safety requirements for the comer of the lot.

Your Variance application hearing and discussion will take place at the City of Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting on July 12, 2006 at 7:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers at 6431 University Avenue. If your variance application needs to be reviewed by the City Council, the meeting will be held on July 24, 2006 at 7:30 in the City Council Chambers. If you have any questions regarding this letter or the process, please feel free to contact me at 763-572-3595. Sincerely, Stacy Strd berg V Planner C-06-44 Jeff Ranweiler 6300 Monroe St. NE Fridley, MN 55432 HARDSHIP STATEMENT I am submitting this proposal to convert an attached garage into a living space. Currently the garage does not meet the set back codes of the city of Fridley. The garage setbacks however, did not comply with the city codes long before I moved into the home. I was under the assumption when I moved into the home that the structure of the home and the garage met the city guidelines. Apparently this has not been the case since the 1970's. My proposal for the living space conversion will not change the structure of the home and garage in any way. 1 am not adding any additions to the existing structure of the home. I am simply changing a structure that has existed for nearly 40 years from a garage into a living space. Because I am on a corner lot, the current driveway is in a very dangerous location. When backing out of the driveway, one must me aware of traffic coming from three different directions which creates a major hazard. To add confusion and danger to the location of the driveway, there is a stop sign on the comer of Monroe and 63'd, directly next to the driveway. I personally have found myself is very risky situations backing out and even pulling into the driveway. The conversion of the attached garage to a living space will include taking out the driveway to avoid any further danger and risk. The property, in addition to the attached garage also has a double detached garage on the north side of the home. This garage is positioned in a much safer location and is utilized more often because of it's location. It is far enough away from the stop sign and the comer of the home so that one does not jeopardize their safety when entering or exiting the driveway. It will remain on the property as the primary garage. The double garage however, also does not meet the setback codes of Fridley. Again, this structure was built in the 1970's and existed when I moved into the home. I would lice to also request a variance for the double detached garage so that is complies with the setback codes of the City of Fridley. Overall, the completion of this project will provide a much more appealing look to the entire property. New windows will go in on the east and west side of the new living space. Landscaping and a new front courtyard which will replace the driveway will add value to the property and the neighborhood. Many times a project like this will propel the entire neighborhood to clean up and update their current properties. Overall this project should be viewed as a positive from a safety and aesthetic standpoint. dir 71- 2- 79 Norlan Lee 644 63rd Ave. NE Minneapolis, MN 55432 Richard and Muriel Lombard Family 6321 Monroe Street N.E.
