ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
5924 Oakwood Manor N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.053, 4A, requires a minimum front yard depth of 35 feet.
Public purpose served by. this requirement is to provide open space for
off-street parking without encroaching on public right of way. It also �-
provides for the aesthetic consideration not to reduce the "building
line of sight" encroachment into a neighbor's front yard.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"The house was built before the City established the street right of
way for Oakwood Marg".
Appeals Commission Meeting - August 11, 1981 - Page 2
C. AEKINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: _
The existing dwelling was built in 1156 on top of a basement house which
was constructed in the 19401x. When the basement was constructed, the
township had planned that Arthur Street would be its access so the
-basement was set to face Arthur Street.
Then Oakwood Manor was planned, and the village was granted a 20 foot
easement off the easterly edge of this lot, putting the house only some
20 feet off the west edge of Oakwood Manor.
If this variance is granted, we have no stipulations to suggest, however
since there exists a 3 to 5 foot survey overlap in this area, we suggest
that the variance be referenced to the existing curb line which is
23 feet away from the existing house.
Mr. Clark felt the Staff - f1patt. covered everything pretty well and clarified
the overlaps by stating that way back when lots were sold, they were done so by
metes and bounds and were not surveyed. He said that when they were finally surveyed,
two surveyors would say two different things depending on which way they started
from and they would overlap each other in the middle. He stated the Commission
should reference the variance to the curb line because they don't know exactly
where the lot line is.
Mrs. Burrow showed the Cramission the plans for the first and second floor addition.
Chairwoman Gabel asked for an explanation of the living situation. Mrs. Burrow
said that her and her husband will be living with her father-in-law, Gaylord Burrow,
and he will have the upstairs and share meals and the kitchen and explained further
that they have a growing family. Chairwoman Gabel asked if they are going to hire a
contractor and Mrs. Burrow said they will hire one to do most of the work and that
they might do some of the finish work. Chairwoman Gabel asked Mr. Clark if there
is?any problem.with the side lot lines, just the -front lot lines and -Mr. Clark said
that was correct. Chairwoman Gabel noted that they might possibly want to build a
garage in the future and said there would be no problem with that. Mr. Barna asked
what the dimensions of the house were and Mrs. Burrow said 30' by 301.
Chairwoman_ Gabel asked about the neighbors and Mr. Clark said he talked to a covple of
them and they seemed to agree and Mr. Burrow said that he has good neighbors and they
all want him to build. Mr. Barna asked if there would be any problems in terms of
the foundation and Mr. Clark said he went over the structure with the builder already
and there would be no problems. Mrs. Burrow said they would also be fixing up the
exterior and they would like to start by the first of September.
Mr..Barna felt the addition would bring the house into value alignment with the rest
of the neighborhood. Mr. Plemel felt it would be a good addition.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, to close the public hearing. UPON A
VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT
7:40 P.M.
V Appeals Commission Meeting - August 11, 1981 Page 3

reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 15 feet to allow the construction of a
second story to an existing house on Lot 18, Auditor's Subdivision No. 92, the same
being 5924 Oakwood Manor N.E., Fridley, Minnesota, and that the variance be referenced
to the exisitng curb line which is 23 feet away from the existing house. UPON A VOICE
VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE,'CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. BUSINESS:
Chairwoman Gabel reported that the City Council did uphold the decision on the sign
issue from last meeting and that the Council thought that "intersection" Was anywhere
traffic intersects. Mr. Clark reported that the Staff interpreted is
where any two lanes emerged or conflict and Naegele said it was where they cross
each other and Mr. Herrick said it is where two separate streets cross each other.
Mr. Barna said an intersection would be Main Street over I694 and I694 over University
and Central, but he did not consider that a real intersections that it would be
where two lanes of traffic come together. Chairwoman asked if the Commission
wanted to address defining intersection and Mr. Barna suggested adding it to the sign
code. Chairwoman Gabel suggested that the Commission make some kind of recommendation
or check out a definition and look at them at the next meeting. Mr. Clark said
the Staff will look into it and felt the definition should*be confined to the sign
code. Mr. Barna felt that the Highway Department would have a definition.

MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gercu, to adjourn the meeting. UPON A VOICE
