Appeals Commission Meeting August 15, 1975 Page 4
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The petitioner's survey shows that a 36 foot front yard setback is allowed,
however, to build the house shown, the Southeast corner will encroach
approximately 2 feet into the side yard which reins at angle. With field
measurements showing 84 feet between the house at 490 Fairmont and the
garage at 594 Fairmont_. There is room for a 36 foot wide house with a
theoretical clearance of 24 ft. on either side between the two houses
now there, and the proposed structure. The City has granted variances
in this area in the past for lots under 7500 square feet in area.
Ms. Gabel asked if there was any one present in the audience for
this item.
Mr. Ralph Swanson, 511 Ely Street, Fridley, stepped forward and
stated he was interested in this construction.
Ms. Boinvert stated she had bought the house,pext door to the property in
question and wanted to buy this property also. She had signed a
purchase agreement on a contingency basis that the variance would
be allowed. She plans on putting a house and garage -on the empty
lot.
Mr. Barna asked what she would do with the house next door.
Ms. Boisvert stated she wanted to keep it for a while. Presently
it is rental property and she plans on updating it and eventually
selling it. She showed the Commission her house and garage plans.
Ms. Gabel stated she had spoken to the present property owners, who
.live next door, and they want to sell the empty lot to Ms. Boisvert.
Piss. Gabel asked Ms. Boisvert if she could save the trees on the lot.
Ms. Boisvert stated she felt she could:save most of them.
Mr. Holden asked Mr. Swanson his opinion.
Mr. Swanson stated he has lived in the neighborhood for 20 years
and feels than lot is too small to build a house on it. He was
concerned about it. He felt he would like to see the little house
torn down and one house built on the two lots.
W. Kemper asked what her intentions were on the existing house.
Ads. Boisvert stated she would be updating it and building a new
house next door.
Mr. Swanson stated his only concern was he felt the lot was too
small.
Mr. Bolden stated there were many lots in the area that size and
it is not unusual to build on a lot that size.
Mr. Swanson stated the neighbors he talked to felt the same way as
he did.
