setback.
SUMMARY OF HARDSHIP

recommend the following stipulations if approved.
• Petitioner shall remove the storage shed from
the 5' easement on the south property line and
maintain required 3' side and rear yard
setbacks for accessory structures.
• Any future fencing intended for the petitioner's
property shall be placed on the petitioner's
property.
• Necessary building permits will be obtained
prior to construction.
• Guard rails will be installed on deck when
height above finished grade exceeds 30"
• The proposed deck shall not be covered or
enclosed in the future.
• The proposed retaining wall shall not extend
into the easement.
• The proposed retaining wall shall not exceed 3'
in height.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION / 60 DAY DATE
City Council — June 13, 2005
60 Day Date — June 20, 2005
Staff Report Prepared by: Rachel Harris
VAR -05-06
REQUEST
The petitioner, Brent Gabel, is seeking a variance to add a deck to the south side of his home
at 40 Rice Creek Way. The property is a comer lot with the narrowest width facing 67th Way.
The front door of the home faces Rice Creek Way, creating the appearance that the proposed
deck will be in the property's side yard. The proposed deck, however, would be in the property's
rear yard. This corner property did receive a variance to the rear yard setback of a minimum of
25' in 1967 when the home was constructed. The home is only inches from meeting the
minimum rear yard setback.
Proposed Deck Location in Rear Yard
As you view the property, it is important to note that the storage shed in the southeast corner of
the property is encroaching 4' into the 5' utility easement and is only one foot inside the
property line and was built without the benefit of a building permit. Also, the south fence is
actually placed a few feet onto the neighbor's property at 58 Rice Creek Way, so it is important
to note that the fence line is not the property line. The petitioner is proposing to build a three -
section deck that is 17' 3 % "on average in width attached to the south side of the home.
SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY
The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District. All surrounding properties are
also zoned R-1, Single -Family Residential. The subject property is located at the comer of 67t"
Way and Rice Creek Way, just southeast of Locke Lake. The home was constructed in 1967.
There are no additions on record to the property. Including the square footage of the newly
constructed storage shed, there is 15% lot coverage currently on the property.
View from corner
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The petitioner's plans are for construction on a three -section deck, accessible from the home
through a new patio door opening in the location of existing windows. One section of the deck,
the one at the new patio door opening, will measure 10'-0" by 18'-6". The middle section will
measure 8'-0" by 16'-6". The section of the deck closest to the storage shed will be 10'-0" by
10'-3". It should be noted that this section is proposed to be double beam construction, so it is
likely the homeowner plans to use this section for a hot tub or other heavy activity or feature. It
should also be noted that this section of the deck will lie directly alongside the utility easement
and will be only 5 feet from the property line and in close proximity to the living area of the
home on an adjacent site. Steps are proposed on the east side of the deck.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Section 205.04.6.A(3) of the City Code states that Decks, unenclosed porches, canopies, and
steps to building entrances may not extend more than ten (10) feet into the required rear yard
setback and not more than three (3) feet into any required side yard, provided they do not
extend nearer than five (5) feet to any lot line.
The petitioner is requesting to be able to construct a deck that will encroach 17'-3 3/n into the
rear yard setback. This is a 7'-3 3/" variance to the required rear yard setback for a deck.
HARDSHIP STATEMENT
The petitioner's hardship statement reads as follows:
Our house faces Rice Creek Way NE. Due to the long, narrow lot, the side of the house
that faces 67th Way NE is considered the `front" yard. Therefore, the location of the
proposed deck is in the rear yard. Because the location of the proposed deck is
considered to be the rear yard, I am requesting a variance.
The layout of the residence prohibits access to the rear (actually the side) yard, unless
using the front door or attached garage. The entire rear of the home is composed of
bedrooms. Therefore, there is no place for a walk -out door. I am a designer by trade
and have spent many hours on alternate placement of the deck on a CAD system and
there is no other feasible location.
The petitioner has obtained signatures from many of the surrounding neighbors indicating that
they do not object to the proposal. However, the property directly south of the petitioner's
property, which is most affected by the proposal, is currently vacant, so there are no signatures
from that property owner.
PREVIOUS CASES
There have been some similar variances granted in the past for porches and for decks in the
side yard. However, staff could only find two previously granted rear yard variances for
construction of a deck.
In 1999, a rear yard setback variance was granted involving a deck on an interior lot at 6310 7th
Street NE. The variance was for encroaching of 17' into the rear yard setback (10' allowed
without a variance). This situation was different than the proposal being considered since the
deck was still 14' back from the property line. It was also a slightly different situation since it
was on an interior — not a corner - lot. No rear adjoining neighbor was affected as the back of
the property was a large drainage easement.
Another rear yard setback variance was granted in 1994 for reconstruction of a deck at 81
Alden Circle NE. This was another interior lot situation with an odd -shaped interior lot on a cul-
de-sac that was only 84' deep. The closed living portion to the adjoining property on the rear
was 140' back, so there was little affect to the neighbors to extend the deck an extra 2' into the
rear yard setback for a wider stairway on the reconstruction of a previous deck.
In summary, staff finds no precedence for the particular situation under consideration.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends denial of this variance request for the following reasons:
• The petitioner could still construct the same square footage of deck to the south and
east side of their home if they wrapped the deck around to the east side of the home.
• The proposed deck would likely affect the peace of the adjoining neighbor to the south
because the living area (likely the bedrooms) of their home is within about 26' of the
outermost edge of the proposed deck.
• The petitioner has failed to provide a compelling hardship statement.
STIPULATIONS
City Staff recommends if this variance request is granted that the following stipulations be
attached.
1. Petitioner must remove the storage shed from the 5' easement on the south property
line and maintain the required 3' side and rear yard setbacks for accessory structures.
2. Any future fencing will need to be placed on the petitioner's property.
3. Necessary building permits will be obtained prior to construction.
4. Guard rails will be installed on deck when height above finished grade exceeds 30"
5. The proposed deck can never be covered or enclosed in the future.
6. The proposed retaining wall cannot extend into the utility easement.
7. The proposed retaining wall cannot exceed 3' in height.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE FRIDLEY APPEALS COMMISSION
FROM: BRENT L. GABEL
SUBJECT: VARIANCE REQUEST
DATE: 4/21/2005
Our house faces Rice Creek Wap N.E. Due to the long, narrow lot, the side of the house that
faces 67& Way N.E. is considered the "front" yard. Therefore, the location of the proposed deck is
in the "rear'' yard.
Because the location of the proposed deck is considered to be the rear yard, I am requesting a
variance.
The layout of the residence prohibits access to the rear yard, unless using the front door or
attached garage. The entire rear of the house is composed of bedrooms therefore there is no place
for a walk -out door. I am a designer by trade and have spent many hours on alternate placement of
the deck on a CAD system and there is no other feasible location.
Attached is a list of signatures from all of our surrounding neighbors stating that they have no
objections with the placement of flee deck.

variance on April 22, 2005. This letter serves to inform you that your application is complete.
Your variance application hearing and discussion will take place at the City of Fridley Appeals
Commission meeting on May 25, 2005 at 7:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers at 6431 University
Avenue NE. If there is unanimous approval by the Appeals Commission, staff, members of the public
attending the public hearing, and the petitioner, your variance request will not need to be heard by the
City Council. If necessary, the City of Fridley City Council will take final action on your variance request
on June 13, 2005 at 7:30 P.M. You should plan to be in attendance at both of these meetings.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or the process, please feel free to contact me at (763) 572-
3599.
Sincerely,
Julie Jones
Planning Coordinator
