Item #4, July 201 1982
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
6471 Riverview Terrace N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.073, A2, requires a minimum lot area of 15,000
square feet plus 1,000 square feet per dwelling unit over 4 in
number.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the
condition of overcrowding of a residential neighborhood and to
allow sufficient area for off-street parking and avoiding an
excess burden on the existing water and sewer services.
V, :4'6
"Additional units are necessary in order to make this a
feasible project. Land patterns are the result of road and
other residential development."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
This lot is located in an area where seven other 4-plexes are
built on comparable size lots. Therefore we would recommend
that the Board of Appeals consider reducing the number of
units to four.
We also recommend since this plan incorporates a joint
driveway and connecting parking facilities with the 4-plex to
the east of this parcel, that the new and the old parking
facilities be constructed to current standards for
construction.

Item # 1, August 24, 1982
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
6471 Riverview Terrace N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.073, A2, requires a minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet plus
1,000 square feet per dwelling unit over 4 in number.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the condition of
overcrowding of a residential neighborhood and to allow sufficient area for
off—street parking and avoiding an excess burden on the existing water and sewer
services.
Section 205.073, 4A, requires a minimum front yard setback of 35 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide desired front yard space
to be used for green areas on access and to add to the attractabiLity of a
multiple zone.
Section 205.073, 48, #3, requires a minimum side yard of 35 feet where a side
yard abuts the street side of a corner lot.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain adequate side yard
setbacks and aesthetic open areas around multiple dwellings.
Section 205.073, 4C, requires a rear yard depth of not Less than 25 percent of
the Lot depth, with not less than 25 feet permitted or more than 40 feet
required.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain adequate open space
around multiple dwellings for aesthetic and fire fighting.
Section 205.073, 4B, #1, requires a side yard of not less than 15 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide for adequate open areas
(green divider areas) around multiple dwellings to maintain clear access for
fire fighting and to reduce conflagration of fire.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Additional units necessary to make this a feasible project. Land patterns are
the result of road and other residential development. In addition, power Line
to the south forces building to be shifted to the front of the Lot."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Staff has met with the petitioner several times. The hearing notice was
purposely worded to give the Board the option of moving the building up to 5
feet in either the north—south or east—west directions. We recommend that the
Board consider approving the requested variance so that if built, the building
be Located as far north (20 feet from the north Line) and as far west (25 feet
from property Line) as possible. This gives the maximum open space between the
structure and the home to the south and between the structure and the existing
storm sewer along the east Line.
If the variances are approved, the petitioner hes agreed to grant an easement
for the existing storm sewer and he will attach a driveway easement to the
existing four—pLex he presently owns adjacent to and east of this site for
access to this proposed 4—plex.
Also, the property is properly zoned and there are existing 4—pLexes to the
north and east of this property. The Lots to the west and south are existing
single family dwellings.
Since this item was Lest considered (August 24, 1982 meeting) Chairperson Gabel
has spent considerable time meeting with the neighbors to go over the project
and the options evaiLable.
The present concensus is that if: (1) the structure were moved five feet further
north and five feet further west, (2) a 6 foot privacy fence was installed along
the south Lot Line of both the new and existing buildings before -or at the same
.time as the foundation is to be constructed, (3) and adequate landscaping was
implemented, the former neighborhood concerns would be put to rest.
Therefore, if the Board recommends approval, the variance approval should be
with the following stipulations:
1. Dedicate an easement to the City for the existing storm sewer along the east
property Line.. 'u
2. Install a privacy fence along the`south property Line of both the new site
and the existing 4—plex.
3. Record a joint driveway agreement for the common driveway.
4. Landscape plan to be approved by the City.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JULY 20, 1982:
Chairperson Gabel had some additions and corrections to the minutes on page 5,
and that the reasons for the motion on agenda item no. 2 should be included:
That the majority of homes in the immediate area are built on larger lots; that
the house to the East has an attached deck that is built very close to the lot line;
the plan does not provide for a garage and there is concern about parking and sto-
rage in a home without a basement; the house plan is not compatible with other
homes in the area and there was neighborhood objection to the plan. Ms. Gabel also
noted that it was explained to the neighbors, after that motion, that even if the
property is not built on now there is no guarantee for the future; that cities all
over are changing their codes to meet the new needs of our economy and smaller lots
will smaller structures are becoming a viable means of providing house. She also
stated that on page 7, the motion for approval for agenda item no. 3 did not state
all the reasons for such approval: The plan for the house is designed to fit well
on the lot; the plan is compatible with other homes in the neighborhood; the
petitioner is willing to tie a specific house plan to the variance and the neighbors
approve.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, to approve the minutes of July 20,
T9-82, Appeals Commission, as written and corrected. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING
AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

•Additional units necessary to make this a feasible project. Land patterns
are the result of road and other residential developnent. In addition, power
line to the south forces building to be shifted to the front of the lot.'
C. ADMMSTRATIVE STAFF RE,VIM:
Staff has met with the petitioner several times. The hearing notice was
purposely worded to give the Board the option of moving the building up to 5
feet in either the north -south or east -west directions. We recommend that
the Boa rd consider approving the requested variance so that if built, the
building be located as far north (25 feet from the north line) and as far
west (30 feet frau property line) as possible. This gives the maximum open
space between the structure and the home to the south and -between the
structure and the existing storm sewer along the east line.
If the variances are approved, the petitioner has agreed to grant an easement
for the existing storm sewer and he will attach a driveway easement to the
existing four-plex he presently ams adjacent to and east of this site for
access to this proposed 4-plez.
Also, the property is properly zoned and there are existing 4-plexes to the
north and east of this property. The lots to the west and south are existing
single family dwellings.
* Petitioner has reduced his request to 4 units.
Mr. Zelevarov was present as was his builder and draftsman. He stated that his
plans are to build 4 townhouses which would look like houses instead of apartments.
The Commission reviewed an aerial photograph and the plans. Ms. Gabel asked about
the driveway and parking. Mr. Zelevarov said the driveway will be joined with his
other 4-plex and there will be parking underneath the building in the double garages.
He said each unit will have a double garage. Ms. Gabel asked about the building
ratio to land and Mr. Clark said it met the requirements. Ms. Gable asked about
square footage per unit and what size is the other building. He stated the units
would be 900 square feet and the other building was 40 by 40 feet, but he wasn't sure.
He stated they would be 2 -bedroom units, three levels, finished basement
Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Zelevarov if he investigated other possibilities for that lot.
He said that he could build 6 units but they will be too small and it would not look
good; that 4 units would look nice with parking off the street. Ms. Gabel asked if
had garages at his other building and he does not but he said he would be changing
the parking when the new units are built. Ms. Gabel asked if he is willing to move
these units as far north and west as possible and Mr. Zelevarov said yes. Mr. Plemel
asked if changing these units from 6 to 4 would remove any of these variances and
Mr. Clark said there would still be 5 variances. Ms. Gabel asked what happened that
the lot is such a weird configuration and Mr. Clark stated that originally the street
was going run to the east and then it was moved. Ms. Jabel asked when Mr. Zelevarov
wanted to start building and he said as soon as possible, this week or next, he
would like them finished before it starts snowing
Mr. Luchow, 161-64; Way N.E., questioned the variance of putting 4 units on that
lot, felt the lot is too small, that he has more square footage for his house (he
said he realized that his house was built years ago when they had larger lots) and"
felt this is quite a variance.
Appeals Commission Meeting - August 24, 1982 Page 4
fk
Mr. Johnson, 6456 Riverview Terrace, agreed with Mr. Luchow, and stated that they
all recognize Mr. Zelevarov's right to build a multiple dwelling on that lot but
noted that the other 4 -unit building across the street were built within code guide-
lines and positioned to fit the lots. His other concern was the high density of cars
parked in the street around that intersection; he felt this was a very high traffic
area and that emergency vehicles would have a hard time getting through and that
also the population density was high in that area because of the multiple buildings.
He also stated he was concerned about the property value of single-family homes.
Ms. --Sue Koprowski, 6472 Riverview Terrace, felt the area was already too crowded,
that the lot was much too small for those units and that cars have difficulty now
parking and getting stuck in the wintertime and generally felt it was all ready a mess.
Mr. Morbrid, 6461 Riverview Terrace, agreed with everyone and wanted to know if
there would be a privacy fence put up which would separate his house (he lives on
the south side). Ms. Gabel said that could be something that could be stipulated.
Mr. Clark said the code requires a privacy fence. Mr. Morbrid wanted to know if the
lot had been surveyed and Mr. Clark said it had been done. Mr. Luchow asked if there
would be a problem with drainage and Mr. Clark said a storm sewer would run between
the two buildings and there are -two manholes in the northwest corner of the lot and
this could be utilized as a catch basin. Mr. Johnson felt that that double garages
would not help with the existing parking problem. Mr. Fragale, 6480 Riverview
Terrace, said the proposed parking more than meets the code. Russ Soderstrom . ,
6438 Riverview Terrace, could not say too much about the parking problems because
he does not live directly on that street but he thinks the proposed building will be
attractive and enhance the neighborhood and that part of the city. Mr. Harris,
6200 Riverview Terrace, thought the size of the lot was better suited for a duplex
or tri-plex and didn.'t think the code intended a 4-plex for the lot. Mr. Fragale
stated he lived across the street from the proposed building and there are 4-plexes
all along Mississippi Place and the parking for this proposed building will be under
the building, that this building will be the best looking 4-plex in the area, there
is more than adequate space for parking and felt it would enhance the area.
Ms. Gabel asked if there is anything else that could be done with this lot as it
was a lot of variances and a lot of building for the lot. Mr. Zelevarov stated he
could put 11 units up on both lots.

petitioner contacts the city with different ideas or plans for this lot. UPON A VOICE
VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
(Mr. Plemel felt there were a lot of pros and cons but that they were pushing too
hard on this lot and would be against it because it required 5 variances in order to
do something; lis. Gabel felt there was too much building for the lot and this also
asked for too many variances).

C. ADMINISTWIVE STAFF REVISi:
This parcel is located on the southeast corner of 63rd Avenue and the
University Avenue service drive and is located within the B.R.A.
Center City Project.
A somewhat similar proposal was made in September, 1976 and variances
were approved by the City Council in November, 1978. Since that time
a lot has happened with regards to planning and development within the
Center City Project.
The setback variances approved in 1978 were reduction of the setback
from 63rd Avenue from 80 feet to 35 feet and side yard setback (south)
reduction from 15 feet to 5 feet. The proposal from Mr. Doty to date
is a two story with basement which appears to be possible future
rental space which would increase the required parking over the amount
available.on the site.
Mr. Doty has also proposed to place the stair towers on the outside of
the structure which would necessitate an additional variance for the
setback off from University Avenue.
Therefore, the staff recounends that the Board deny the proposal as
submitted.
Mr. Doty presented different plans to the Commission and stated that he has it down
to 2 variances; he went back to the 10 feet and 30 feet that had been granted in
1978. He stated Staff informed him that he needed 35 parking stall and he has
28. He also stated that he is working out an agreement with Mr. Herrick (who owns
property next door) regarding the entrance and parking and that this would meet
all the requirements and provide additional green area. He also stated that he
wanted a basement in this building but Staff felt that represented potential future
rental area and more people. Ms. Gabel asked about square footage and he stated
it was 9600 square feet total. Mr. Clark asked if he was going to build 2 full
stories above grade. Mr. Doty said yes; there would be a walk-in on the first level.
Ms. Gabel asked about tenants so far and Mr. Doty said that he has an insurance
agency, a loan company and himself. Mr. Doty said he has had several discussions
with Staff regarding the entrance and explained his plans for the entrance. Ms. Gabel
stated that the agreement with Mr. Herrick would have to be in writing. Mr. Doty
said that drainage is a factor with these changed plans; that Staff wants it to drain
towards 63rd. Mr. Plemel stated that Dave Harris called him with concerns about
parking in the front and Mr. Doty said he was aware that Dave wants all green in the
front.
Ms. Gabel asked when he wanted to start and Mr. Doty said he wanted to have it done
by the first of the year. Mr. Plemel asked about water retention on the roof of the
building; Mr. Doty said there are insurance problems with that and they are not
planning for retention on the roof and the drainage will properly be towards 63rd.
Mr. Clark stated that a stipulation would have to be included regarding putting in
a sidewalk as part of the building. Mr. Doty had no objection to that.
Mr. Clark said there would also have to be an easement on the corner given to the
City for a larger radius at the curb, and Mr. Doty had no objection to that.
There was no one else present for this agenda item.

AT 8:50 P.M.
Ms. Gabel questioned that the public hearing notice stated the sideyard setback on
the corner from 80 feet to 35 feet and Mr. Clark said he did not think they could
approve it for less than 35 feet but they could recommend to the Council to issue
a new notice for the 30 feet. Mr. Doty stated he had no problem with 39 or 35 feet
or the 5 and 10 feet. Mr. Plemel felt the petitioner is really trying to do some-
thing with this lot, as it is unbuildable with the way the code sits, and this is
certainly a reasonable alternative and a nice building and would agree with the 2
variances. Mrs.. Gerou concurred with Mr. Plemel. Ms. Gabel felt this was certainly
reasonable since they started with 5 variances and went down to two; she felt the
hardship is definitely there.
MOTION by Mr.Plemel, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, that the Appeals Commission recommend
to the City Council, through the Planning Commission, approval of the request to
reduce the sideyard setback on a corner lot from the required 80 feet to 35 feet,
and to reduce the side yard setback on the south side of the building from 15 feet
to 10 feet, to allow the construction of a commercial office building on the North
100 feet of the. South 259 feet of the North 1507.5 feet of the West Half of the

University Avenue N.E., Fridley, Minnesota, 55432, with the stipulation that a
sidewalk be put in as part of the building; that a street easement be granted to
the City on the corner of the lot; and that the parking agreement with the owner
to the south be'put in writing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON

Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide adequate open
space areas around industrial structures for aesthetic and fire
fighting purposes.
'Buildings are already connected with roof and walls.'
C. ADMMISTPATIVE STAFF
7760 Elm Street is presently 7.5 feet from the rear lot line (Council
approval December 15, 1975) and 7753 - Beech Street is 8 feet from the
rear lot line (Council approval November 12, 1973). 7760 Elm Street
also has a variance for a zero side yard and 7753 Beech has variances
on lot coverage, parking stall size and parking setback from the
building.
These two buildings were joined together after both buildings were
combined under one ownership. Naw it is the petitioners request to
_ re -split the ownerships at the *west (survey is wrong but is being
corrected) line of the vacated alley. To accomplish this, he has
requested this rear yard variance and a lot split. The lot split has
been recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
The City staff -bas no objection to the total package provided it is
stipulated that= (1) All existing openings in the common wall are
closed off with 12 inch concrete block; (2) No expansion of either
building occurs along the rear lines; and (3) The petitioner work
with the staff on improving the outside development.
Ms. Gabel stated that this matter has gone before the Planning Commission and they
have recommended a lot split. Mr. Carlson and Boulais were present as was Mr. Paske.
and Mr. Harris. Mr. Carlson said they are asking for zero and Mr. Boulais stated
the addition was made for the past owner and the building is too large for their
operation and they were under the impression if they bought this building it could
be split. Ms. Gabel asked if they were going to rent or sell the other building
and he stated they would do either one. Mr. Paske stated that he is still the fee -
owner of this property and did not understand how this could be done without the
permission of the fee -owner and he is opposed to this and has never been asked about
this. Mr. Clark stated if Mr. Paske is the fee owner he is directly involved in this.
Mr. Pasked stated there are several legal problems involved in this that are not
resolved. Mr. Clark asked if the legal problems would change with the lot split
and Mr. Paske said it would make them worse, that there is a mortgage of record and
that increasing or decreasing has nothing to do with the legal on it and there are
other legal things that have to be done and there is a subsequent action pending.
He stated that Attorney Guzy is working on this right now. Ms. Gabel stated that
since Mr. Paske does not want this to happen and since they do not where they are
legally, she would assume that they cannot do anything It this time.
Mr. Boulais stated they did not come across anything in the contract that would
prohibit this. Mr. Paske said he has problems with the mortgage company and they
have a mortgage of record and the minute you do anything they would consider it
Due Unsale. Mr. Plemel felt the legal problems should be solved before the Com-
mission takes any action.

C. ADMMSTRATivE STAFF RSvim
This lot was platted and zoned prior to the'Strea and frontage
requirements of the Zoning Code.
Since this proposed building and use need no other variances, we see
no obvious reason for denial of the request. We however do recommend
that the petitioner be required to dedicate a 15 foot easement along
the south (Mississippi Street) for future street widening and
bikeway/walkway construction.
Appeals Commission Meeting — August 24, 1982 Paae 10
Mr. Clark showed the Commission the proposed plans and Mr. Kramber explained that
he wished to build an office building for his chiropractic practice and wants to
rent the basement. He stated all the setbacks and greenery will be to code and
he will only need 10 parking spots. Ms. Gabel asked about the other lots in the
area that are for sale. Mr. Bramber said they are being sold. Ms. Gabel asked
if they are the same size and he stated yes and Mr. Plemel asked if this was all
commercial and Mr. Clark stated they are C-2. Mr. Kramber said it will be a very
nice looking building, the basement will have plenty of windows, 28 by 44 square
feet. He said he does not have a renter for the basement yet. He stated the
building will be compatible with the other buildings in the area, stucco with cedar
trim, it will fit right into the neighborhood. His mother has talked to the people
at Sandee's and they have no objections to these plans as these lots have been vacant
for so long. He stated the building will be "house height" and he has no problems
with the City with the landscaping. Mrs. Mech, 1315 -66th Street N.E., asked about
parking. Mr.. Kramber explained that parking is no problem and getting in and out
will be no problem and he pointed out that the lots are unbuildable without a
variance. Ms. Gabel asked when he would start construction. Mr. Kramber said in
October, that he is trying to get out of a lease 'night now, he will close on the
land on September 15th and wants to be in by Christmas.
Ms. Gabel asked if he understood the sidewalk easement and he stated he did and
asked if that would cause him any problems. Mr. Clark said it wouldn't and that
the county would possibly want the 15 feet and to make sure the shrubbery is planted
off that.

1315 66th Avenue X.8.
Section 205.153, 2, requires that in areas with setbacks greater than
the minimum, the average of the setbacks for buildings within 100
feet on either side shall prevail, with a deviation allowed of six
= feet more or less.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to insure that any new
structures do not greatly impede the front yard "line of sight" for
the existing house sites.
"Only side that faces south to build a sun porch and green house."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVISi:
66th Avenue is a 66 foot right of way with a 12 foot boulevard.
Therefore, the proposed sun porch will not appear to be abnormally
close to the street, however the neighbor's house and others are set
back in line with the present house.
If the Appeals Commission does approve this variance, the staff has
no suggested stipulations.
Mrs. Betty Mech was present. 14s. Gabel stated that the hardship was pretty vague.
Mrs. Mech showed the Commission her plans. She stated that it will not look like
a greenouse, it will look like a sunporch, with glass panes and heavy beams and
that visually it won't make much of an impact; that she is tired of the way it looks
now and wants to enlarge it. Ms. Gabel asked about the roof line. Mrs. Mech said
it will come off the roof at a slight slope and the doors will be 7 feet high, with
a wooden catwalk about 18" wide around the whole thing for washing the windows and
it will be heated and be used all year round. Ms. Gabel asked what it would look
like from the outside. She said it will be glass and beams. Mr. Plemel asked who
would be doing the work. Mrs. Mech said they will hire a contractor. Ms. Gabel
stated the plans look nice and asked about drainage and running water. Mrs. Mech
said they will have running water and have a drain go to the outside. She also
said her neighbor to the south, Ed Simko, called and said he had no objections
Ms. Gabel asked how soon she would do this and Mrs. Mech said that wou�d depend
on whether or not they put in a well first and they may have to wait until next year.

Chairperson Gabel Read the Staff Report:
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
6471 Riverview Terrace N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.073, A2, requires a minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet plus
1,000 square feet per dwelling unit over 4 in number.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the condition of
overcrowding of a residentiel neighborhood and to allow sufficient area for
off-street parking and avoiding an excess burden on the existing water and sewer
services.
Section 205.073, 4A, requires a minimum front.yard setback of 35 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide desired front yard space
to be used for green areas on access and to add to the attractebility of a
_ multiple zone.
Section 205.073, 49, #3, requires a minimum side yard of 35 feet where a side
yard abuts the street side of a corner Lot.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain adequate side yard
setbacks and aesthetic open areas around multiple dwellings.
Section 205.073, 4C, requires a rear yard depth of not less then 25 percent of
the Lot depth, with not Less then 25 feet permitted or more than 40 feet
required.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain adequate open space
around multiple dwellings for aesthetic and fire fighting.
Section 205.073, 4B, #1, requires a side yard of not Less than 15 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide for adequate open areas
(green divider areas) around multiple dwellings to maintain clear access for
fire fighting and to reduce conflagration of fire.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Additional units necessary to make this a feasible project. Lend patterns are
the result of road and other residential development. In addition, power Line
to the south forces building to be shifted to the front of the Lot."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Staff has met with the petitioner several times. The hearing notice was
purposely worded to give the Board the option of moving the building up to 5
feet in either the north -south or east -west directions. We recommend that the
Board consider approving the requested variance so that if built, the building
be located as far north 120 feet from the north Line) and as far west (25 feet
from property Line) as possible. This gives the maximum open splace between the
structure and the home to the south and between the structure and the existing
storm sewer along the east Line.
Appeals Commission Meeting •— September 21, 1982 Page 3
If the variances are approved, the petitioner has agreed to grant an easement
for the existing storm sewer and he will attach a driveway easement to the
existing four—plex he presently owns adjacent to and east of this site for
access to this proposed 4—plex.
Also, the property is properly zoned and there are existing 4—plexes to the
north and east of this property. The lots to the west and south are existing
single family dwellings.
Since this item was last considered (August 24, 1982 meeting) Chairperson Gabel
hes spent considerable time meeting with the neighbors to go over the project
and the options available.
The present concensus is that if: (1) the structure were moved five feet further
north and five feet further west, (2) a 6 foot privacy fence was installed along
the south lot line of both the new and existing buildings before or at the some
time as the foundation is to be constructed, (3) and adequate landscaping was
implemented, the former neighborhood concerns would be put to rest.
Therefore, if the Board recommends approval, the variance approval should be
with the following stipulations:
1. Dedicate an easement to the City for the existing storm sewer along the east
property line.
2. Install a privacy fence along the south property line of both the new site
and the existing 4—plex.
3. Record a joint driveway agreement for the common driveway.
4. Landscape plan to be approved by the City.
Chairperson Gabel stated that there have been a lot of meetings with the petitioner
regarding his plans for this property since the last Appeals meeting. She also
said she has met with the neighbors and that all parties have finally reached an
amicable agreement regarding the structure to be put on this property. Mr. Hill
showed the Commission the current plans for the building and Chairperson Gabel
invited the neighbors present to come up and review them and to answer any final
questions they may have and to make sure these plans were agreeable to the neighbors.
There was a question regarding the privacy fence and it was agreed to add a stipu-
lation to the variance request that the privacy be 6 feet high for 35 feet along the
south property line and then the fence may drop to four feet high. Mr. Cochran,
111-642- Way N.E., was present, he stated he was a neighbor that did not receive notice
of this matter but said he was in favor of this structure going up. Mr. Fragale,
said he lives across the street from the dwelling being built and was very much in
favor of this dwelling being built. Mr. Hitzemann, who lives in the existing 4-plex
and is a caretaker for Mr. Zelevarov, stated he felt the drainage and driveway plans
are fine and that the building will be a big improvement to that lot. Ms. Leidal,
who moved from St. Louis Park to the existing building, stated that she would like to
see this building go up and she likes this area very much. Nels Johnson said he is
satisfied with the plans now and thanked the Commission for all their work in getting
the.neighbors and Mr. Zelevarov to arrive at a compromise.
Appeals Commission Meeting - September 21, 1982 Page 4
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to close the public hearing. UPON A
VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
AT 8:15 P.M.
Mr. Plemel stated that he was not in favor of this structure the first time it came
before the Commission but he is now in favor of the current plans and stipulations
and he commended Chairperson Gabel and the neighbors for arriving at a compromise.
Mr. Barna stated that he would be in favor of the variance as it sounds as if the
neighbors are now satisfied. Mr. Betzold stated that he thought this was the best
solution as the alternatives were less desirable for everybody. Ms. Gabel was also
opposed to this structure the first time but she is now in favor with the current
plans and stated that the neighbors and the Commission have worked very hard on
this and now feels it is a workable situation.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Barna, that the Appeals Commission recommend
to the City Council, through the Planning Commission, approval of the request to
reduce the required lot size for a four -unit dwelling from 15,000.square feet to
13,250 square feet; reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 20 feet; reduce
the side yard setback on a corner lot from 35 feet to 25 feet; reduce the rear yard
setback from 35 feet to 30 feet; and reduce the regular side yard setback from 15
feet to 10 feet, to allow the construction of a 4 -unit dwelling on part of Lot 13,
Auditor's Subdivision No. 23, along with the vacated portion of Riverview Terrace
as platted in Johnson's River Lane Addition, Anoka County, Minnesota, the same
being 6471 Riverview Terrace N.E., Fridley, Minnesota, with the Stipulations that
an easement be dedicated to the City for the existing storm sewer along the east
property line; that a 6 foot high privacy fence be installed along the south '
°'property line of both the new site and the existing 4-plex and then the fence may
drop to 4 feet high 35 feet from Riverview Terrace; that there be recorded a joint
tighway agreement for common driveway; and that the landscape plan be aDnroved by the City.

ArMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
7753-55 Beech Street N.E.
7760 Elm Street N.E.
Section 205.134, 4C, requires a rear yard depth of not less than 25
feet. -
Appeals Commission Meeting - September 21, 1982 Page 5
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide adequate open
space areas around industrial structures for aesthetic and f ire
fighting purposes.
"Buildings are already connected with roof and walls.'
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF RSVISis
7760 Elm Street is presently 7.5 feet from the rear lot line (Council
approval December 15, 1975) and 7753 Beech Street is 8 feet f rom the
rear lot line (Council approval November 12, 1973). 7760 Elm Street
also has a variance for a zero side yard and 7753 Beech has variances
on lot coverage, parking stall size and parking setback from the
building.
These two buildings were joined together after both buildings were
combined under one ownership. Now it is the petitioners request to
re -split the ownerships at the *west (survey is wrong but is being
corrected) line of the vacated alley. To accomplish this, he has
requested this rear yard variance and a lot split. The lot split has
been recommended for approval by the Planning C omission.
The City staff has no objection to the total package provided it is
stipulated that; (1) All existing openings in the common wall are
closed off with 12 inch concrete block; (2) No expansion of either
building occurs along the rear lines; and (3) The petitioner work
with the staff on improving the outside development.
Mr. Boulais was present for this item, Mr. Paschke was not present, but Ms. Gabel
had a written agreement which was signed by Mr. Paschke pending approval of his
attorney, Mr. Robert Lukes, which stated: ". . .Vendor and Paschke agree that
neither will object to any proceedings brought by the purchasors before the City
of Fridley or any other city or county entity or court with jurisdiction over the
matter which attempts to obtain (the lot split). " Ms. Gabel felt that the
Commission could proceed on this item based upon this agreement and with the
stipulation that all legal requirements be met and that the Staff is satisfied that
all the legal requirements are met before this goes to the City Council.
Ms. Gabel did say the lot split was approved at Planning and Mr. Boulais brought
up a new survey. He said that any openings in the wall will be closed with 12"
block and the line is actually right on the wall. Mr. Barna asked if the split will
be right down the middle of the wall. Mr. Boulais said yes and there will be a
common wall agreement. He stated the utilities and facilities will be separate
and there will be separate entrances. He also stated they will have easy access
for their loading dock. Mr. Hill asked if he forsaw any problems with parking
and Mr. Boulaid said there will be no problems with that as they do not have the
staff for that kind of parking, it is just trucks and light assembly. Mr. Plemel
asked for a clarification of the stipulations. Ms. Gabel said she wanted a stipu-
lation that the staff is satisfied with all legal documents prior to the council
meeting.
Appeals Commission Meeting - September 21, 1982 Paae 6
Mr. Betzold asked for a clarification of the term "subject to approval by attorney"
in the written agreement. Mr. Boulais stated that the documents were drawn over a
couple of days and Mr. Paschke was asking that his attorney approve the last wording
in the agreement. Mr. Betzold then asked if it was possible tht the agreement was
out if the attorney did not agree to it. Mr. Boulais stated that it was his under-
standing, when the document was delivered this evening, that the attorney had
approved the agreement.
MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mr. Barna, to close the public hearing. UPON A

A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY RE(IUIREMENT:
Section 214.047, A2, requires a maximum size of 80 square feet for a
free standing sign.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual
pollution and excessive use of signs in industrial areas.
Appeals Commission Meeting - September 21, 1982 Page -7
8. STATED HARDSHIPS
"To properly advertise to Highway #65 because of distance to highway."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
A request for a 210 square foot (10' x 21') pylon sign was denied by
the Board of Appeals on 7/25/78 (see attached minutes). The existing
pylon sign is 144 square feet (8' x 18') which was approved on August
21, 1876 for a size variance and has the message of "Lampert Building
Center".
The wall signage was approved by staff on 5/14/82 (see attached sign
permit).
Lampert proposes to install an additional 32 square foot (4' x 81)
Lighted panel to the existing pylon which would be a manual changeable
message center.
The totaL square footage with this additional signage would be 176
square feet, a variance in sign size of 96 square feet over the
allowed 80 square feet for this district. If approved, the Commission
may went to consider the foLLowing stipulations:
1. Screening of east parking area from public right of way.
2. Screen outside storage from public view along east, west and
north.
3. Repair and maintain existing fence.
4. Provide protection of fence from vehicles and storage.
5. Outside storage is 2 - 3 feet above fence Line.
S. Outside open air seles area may need a SpeciaL Use Permit and is
being Located in rparking tot.
There was no one present for this agenda item. Mr. Hill reported that they have
added additional signage; they have added additional wall signage and they have
a banner up. He stated they are requesting a variance for signs they have already
installed.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Betzold, to table this item until the
petitioner appears. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Appeals Commission Meeting - September 21, 1982 Page 8
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
7233 University Avenue N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 214.047, E4, requires a minimum 30 foot setback from any
street right of way,
a
Section 214.047, E5, requires a minimum 500 foot setback from the
intersection of any street or highway which intersects with Truck
Highway f479 such distance being measured from the intersection of
street or highway center Line.
Public purpose served by these requirements is to control visual
pollution and excessive use of billboards along the City's highways
and to provide adequate "Line of sight" cLaarances at intersections.
8. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Due to easement granted by Minnesota Transfer Reilroed to the City
of Fridley, an unusual lot contour resulted Limiting use by owner for
any or several purposes. The curvature of the access road to 73rd
Avenue requires seeking a variance of setback from said road. The
setback needed for University Avenue can be accomplished, or, if a
variance is granted to set the sign 480 feet from the intersection,
side setbacks on both roads can be complied with."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The proposed billboard sign is to be placed on the southern portion
of the "tear shaped" piece of vacant property on the southeast corner
of 73rd Avenue and University Avenue.
PLecament of this billboard will determine which of the above
variances should be reviewed by the Commission.
The City CounciL had a first reading of an ordinance to rezone this
property from M-2 to C-2, which occured on 10/26/81, after a public
hearing on 10/19/81 (see attached ordinance).
If this property is rezoned to C-2, this billboard would than become
a Legal non-comforming sign, since billboard signs are only allowed
in C -2S, M-1 and M-2 districts.
Mr. Jack Nugent, FarYiew Sign Company, and Mr. Jack Laurence, SignCrafters, were
present for this item. Mr. Hill stated that Mark Haggerty brought the zoning request
to City Council and that Mr. Haggerty is getting together a proposal to purchase
the property within the next several days and at that time they would proceed with
the rezoning of this property. He has been in contact with the Soo Line and they
are in agreement that if the Appeals Commission approves the billboard sign, they
would put in a contingency clause that the billboard would be removed within a
certain amount of time if the property is going to be developed. Ms. Gabel stated
that Mr. Haggerty is confident that he can get the financing and will go ahead with
his plans to develop this property.
Appeals Commission Meeting - September 21, 1982 _ Page 9
Ms. Gabel also mentioned that there are some significant development plans for
this area. Mr. Hill said they could situate the sign so they could meet the 500
yard setback off the intersection but they would not meet the setback off the
service drive or they could move the sign up and that either way there would be a
variance. Mr. Plemel asked what the sign would be advertising. Mr. Nugent said
it would be a sign for KSTP. Ms. Gabel mentioned the traffic study done in that
area and they would be given "D" traffic conditions if there was a retail business
there. She asked how they determined this should be the place to put the billboard.
Mr. Nugent said it was a highly travelled area, it was vacant, it was accessible
and they had first option on the land with the Soo Line people since the bank plan
fell through last year. He said they would be interested in purchasing that
piece of property (where the sign would be placed) or applying for a conditional
use permit. Mr. Hill stated that Mr. HaggerV expects to have a purchase agreement
for this property within the next 7 days. Ms. Gabel stated she could not imagine
why they would want to put up an expensive sign that they might have to take down
in a very short time. Mr. Nugent stated it is possible that Mr. Haggerty may
not get financing. Mr. Hill also stated that the City would not be in favor of
splitting that lot.
Ms. Gabel asked if they had pictures of the sign. Mr. Nugent showed them pictures
of the sign. He said it is very attractive, 10 feet by 30 feet, and the latest
state-of-the-art in signage. He said it is lighted inside, polyvinyl chloride, a
heavy coated plastic, flexible material, 9 -color silkscreened and reusable.
Mr. Laurence showed them samples of signs they are going to put up at the Met Center
and stated they have two in the dome area downtown. Ms. Gabel said she is concerned
with visual pollution and the traffic at that corner and that people in the community
have expressed a desire not to have any more billboards. Mr. Nugent stated that
this particular area is remarkably devoid of any signage and thought the visual
pollution would be minimal with this particular sign. Mr. Betzold stated that it
is a difficult curve to maneuver in this area and you really have to pay attention.
Ms. Gabel stated that she is generally opposed to the billboard concept and that
she was not sure that the hardship was defined properly Mr. Plemel agreed that the
question of hardship was not answered. Mr. Nugent said this is an irregular piece
of property and it makes them ask for a variance.
Mr. Barna asked if the basic message will be the same on the sign and Mr. Hill
asked about maintenance if the sign is damage. Mr. Nugent said the message will
be for KSTP and that their staff is always checking on their signs and if there
is damage they will be out immediately.

to allow the construction of a billboard on Tract A, Registered Land Survey No. 78,

the hardship was more self-imposed than real. Mr. Plemel felt that the sign would
probably come down in 3-4 years because of developments occurring in that area.

Line—of— sight visibility, and (4) Landscape plan to be approved by the
City.
Councilmen Fitzpatrick stated there was a great deal of discussion
regarding this variance request and one of the reasons the neighborhood
went along with the request is because they were pleased with the proposed
building plans. He felt, in granting these variances, the stipulations of
the Appeals Commission should also be included and the variances be
contingent upon the building plans, as submitted.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to concur with the Appeals Commission and

CONSIDERATION OF A PETITION BY SUPERAMERICA ON SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP #77-
17 REQUEST. 5667 UNIVERSITY AVENUE NE:
Mr. Flare, Public Works Director, stated this is a request by Superamerice
for ra—instatement of special use permit, SP #77-17, to allow construction
of a Superamerice store at 57th and University. Mr. Fiore stated SP #77-
17 approved an operation from 6 a. m. to 11 p. m.; allowed the
encroachment onto the frontage road during construction; and honored all
agreements for property transactions associated with the new Loop—back.
Mr. Flora stated, in reviewing the new plan, the following changes were
noted: (1) the building is being moved south and is 18 feet 4 inches from
the rear property line; (2) the building is of earth shelter—type
construction; (3) the east driveway ingress/egress is 40 feet from 57th
Avenue, and (4) two gas pump islands are now present, only one was on the
original plan.
Mr. Fiore stated Superamerica has also requested a 24 hour operation,
rather than the hours of 6 a. m. to 11 p. m.
Mr. Schuette, representing Superamerics, appeared before the Council and
stated they wished to re—instate the special use permit in order to get
started with construction of this facility.
Mr. Schuette stated the building is a new type earth shelter construction,
and they will have two gas pump islands which they feel is almost a
necessity today. He stated they will construct the Loop—back and they
have moved the driveway, which is the existing service road, 25 feet away
from the corner in order for persons to make an easier turn.
Mr. Deselms, Superamerics, presented the plan so Council could see what
exactly was proposed.
Councilman Barnette stated one of the controversies when the CounciL first
considered this speciaL use permit was the hours of operation. Mr.
Schuette stated this has been discussed and they are willing to go back to
6 a. m. to 11 p. m. for their operation.
Councilmen Hamernik stated he talked with two residents most directly
impacted and they wanted the hours of 6 a. m. to 11 p. m. to be kept for
this operation.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, questioned the width of the service drive, and
Mr. Flora stated it was 30 feet. Mr. Qureshi asked if the service road
was not there, if this meets all the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
to which Mr. Flora answered in the aftirmative.

John Flora, Director of Public
Works
I have heard that there has been a possible misunderstanding about the date that the
City issued a building permit to Chris Zelevarov for the construction of a 4-plex at
6471 Riverview Terrace N.E.
Please recall that there were some variances that had to be granted prior to this
permit authorization.
The Board of Appeals acted in favor of the petitioner at their meeting of September 21,
1982 and the City Council also approved the action of the Board on September 27, 1982.
The petitioner may have cleared the trees and dug the hole before Council action,
however I can assure you that no building permit was issued prior to September 28, 1982
and in fact, records indicate that a footing inspection was made and authorization was
given to pour the footing on September 28, 1982 after the Council acted.

SUBJECT Chris Zelevarov
Nasim M. Oureshi, City Manaaer
At the May 2, 1983 City Council meeting, Mr. Zelevarov raised a number of
items pertaining to his development of property at 6471, 6473, 6475, and
6477 Riverview Terrace.
When the original request to construct a fourplex on Riverview Terrace and
Mississippi Place was submitted to the city, a number of problems were
encountered. °
1. The parcel of land consisted of the vacated portion of Riverview
Terrace.
2. The total amount of property required an area variance.
3. The building as proposed, required four set -back variances.
These items were first presented to the Appeals Commission on August 24, 1982.
After considerable negotiations by the city staff and Pat Gabel, chairperson
for the Appeals Commission, the neighborhood concerns and variances were
worked out with certain stipulations at the September 21, 1982 meeting.
1. Dedication of an easement for the storm sewer within the previous
street vacated area.
2. Placement of a privacy fence along the southern property line.
3. Recording of a joint driveway agreement for this property and the
adjacent four plex owned by Mr. Zelevarov.
4. Landscaping plan agreement.
The City Council approved the variances with the four stipulations plus added
one more --that the building be constructed the same as submitted to the City
at their September 27, 1982 meeting --This was an accelerated action by the
Council in order to allow construction to start that fall.
Because of the adjoining neighborhood concerns and complaints, the staff
became involved with this development throughout the fall and winter of

May 9, 1983
1982, 1983. Correspondences were mailed October 21, December 7, December 22,
and March 22. During this entire period, Mr. Zelevarov has failed to satisfy
the stipulations required by the Council. We have informed Mr. Zelevarov that
no occupancy permit will be issued for this building until such time as the
stipulations are satisfied.
The attached memorandum from Sid Inman explains the'events and policies
associated with the construction of this four plex and charges for water
and sewer connections.
In all communications with Mr. Zelevarov, the City staff has explained the
issues, visited the property, met with the neighbors, received verbal abuse
and threats and attempted to reconcile all items for completion. Mr. Zelevarov
has not responded inkind, as a matter of fact, he continues to delay his
actions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: JOHN FLORA, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
FROM: SID INMAN, DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL SERVICES
SUBJECT: CHRIS JELLEVAROV
DATES: MAY 5, 1983
As per your request, attached is the following assessment information for
Mr. Jellevarov.
When the City originally installed water and sewer laterals (water and sewer
lines) and sewer and water connections (tees), a determination was made to
assess all property owners for the cost of the water and sewer laterals but
hold off on the assessment of the service connections until such time as the
property is developed. All water and sewer laterals were assessed to the
property at the time of insta.11ation. This process has been in effect for a
number of years. When a property owner chooses to connect to the City's
service connections, we assess them the cost of that project with an accrued
interest rate times the number of years that have lapsed between the
installation of the service connections and the current date. The developer
does have the opportunity and choice to connect to the sewer and water laterals
not using our service connections at their own expense.
When Mr. Jellevarov started to develop this piece of property, it was his
intent to connect to the water and sewer laterals on Mississippi Place at his
own expense and not use our service connections. At some point duirng the
development, it was determined he would also have to connect to the existing
service connections on Riverview Terrace.
He did connect one set of sewer and water lines to our existing sewer laterals
on Mississippi Place at his own expense. He did not connect into any existing
service connections on Mississippi Place, therefore, the whole expense was paid
directly to an individual plumbing contractor. He did connect to existing
service connections on Riverview Terrace, therefore, we have assessed him $447.39
for that connection based on the cost of Project No. 70 completed in 1965.
This was discussed with him in detail and he has, in fact, signed a special
assessment payment agreement with the City of Fridley dated October 21, 1982.
There seems to be some confusion as to why this did not appear.on his search
as a pending when he bought the property. This assessment did not exist at that
time as we had no knowledge of his intent to use the service connections. It has
been our history in the past that this becomes an assessment on the property at
the time the developer chooses to use the service connections.
i il
JOHN FLORA, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
CHRIS JELLEVAROV
MAY 5, 1983
For your information, this will be part of the 1983 Service Connection
Roll and will be assessed in October of this year.
There is an additional concern over this development that I would like to
bring to your attention at this time. When Mr. Jellevarov came in and requested
water meters, we explaned to him that we would like to install one water meter
for the entire building. It was his choice that each individual apartment have
its own water meter. Apparently, he intends to sell the apartments eventually
for condos. We explained to him at that time that irrespective of how many
water meters there are in the building, it is his responsibility to pay the
water bills. We explained to him that if a tenant moves out without paying
the water bill,it will be his responsibility. We additionally explained
to him that if the water bill is not paid it will be assessed to him through
the County as a lien against his property and will be his responsibility.
During the discussion, Mr. Jellevarov raised the level of concern about this
and felt it was the responsibility of the City to collect the amount from
the renter. I made it very clear to him that if this happens, it will be his
responsibility. I am bringing this to your attention as a clarification of
the process in anticipation of future problems.
If you have any further questions on this matter, please feel free to let me
know.

TO
ACTION
INFO.
SUBJECT Chris Zelevarov
Nasim M. Oureshi, City Manager
At the May 2, 1983 City Council meeting, Mr. Zelevarov raised a number of
items pertaining to his development of property at 6471, 6473, 6475, and
6477 Riverview Terrace.
When the original request to construct a fourplex on Riverview Terrace and
Mississippi Place was submitted to the city, a number of problems were
encountered.
1. The parcel of land consisted of the vacated portion of Riverview
Terrace.
2. The total amount of property required an area variance.
3. The building as proposed, required four set -back variances.
These items were first presented to the Appeals Commission on August 24, 1982.
After considerable negotiations by the city staff and Pat Gabel, chairperson
for the Appeals Commission, the neighborhood concerns and variances were
worked out with certain stipulations at the September 21, 1982 meeting.
1. Dedication of an easement for the storm sewer within the previous
street vacated area.
2. Placement of a privacy fence along the southern property line.
3. Recording of a joint driveway agreement for this property and the
adjacent four plex owned by Mr. Zelevarov.
4. Landscaping plan agreement.
The City Council approved the variances with the four stipulations plus added
one more --that the building be constructed the s=ame as submitted to the City
at their September 27, 1982 meeting --This was an accelerated action by the
Council in order to allow construction to start that fall.
Because of the adjoining neighborhood concerns and complaints, the staff
became involved with this development throughout the fall and winter of
MEMO TO CM
Page 2
May 9, 1983
1982, 1983. Correspondences were mailed October 21, December 7, December 22,
and March 22. During this entire period, Mr. Zelevarov has failed to satisfy
the stipulations required by the Council. We have informed Mr. ,Zelevarov that
no occupancy permit.will be issued for this building until such time as the
stipulations are satisfied.
The attached memorandum from Sid Inman explains the:events and policies
associated with the construction of this four plex and charges for water
and sewer connections.
In all communications with Mr. Zelevarov, the City staff has explained the
issues, visited the property, met with the neighbors, received verbal abuse
and threats and attempted to reconcile all items for completion. Mr. Zelevarov
has not responded inkind, as a matter of fact, he continues to delay his
actions.

CITY OF FRIDLEY
MEMORANDUM
TO: JOHN FLORA, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
FROM: SID INMAN, DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL SERVICES
SUBJECT: CHRIS JELLEVAROV
DATES: MAY 5, 1983
As per your request, attached is the following assessment information for
Mr. Jellevarov.
When the City originally installed water and sewer laterals (water and sewer
lines) and sewer and water connections (tees), a determination was made to
assess all property owners for the cost of the water and sewer laterals but
hold off on the assessment of the service connections until such time as the
property is developed. All water and sewer laterals were assessed to the
property at the time of installation. This process has been in effect for a
number of years. When a property owner chooses to connect to the City's
service connections, we assess them the cost of that project with an accrued
interest rate times the number of years that have lapsed between the
installation of the service connections and the current date. The developer
does have the opportunity and choice to connect to the sewer and water laterals
not using our service connections at their own expense.
When Mr. Jellevarov started to develop this piece of property, it was his
intent to connect to the water and sewer laterals on Mississippi Place at his
own expense and not use our service connections. At some point duirng the
development, it was determined he would also have to connect to the existing
service connections on Riverview Terrace.
He did connect one set of sewer and water lines to our existing sewer laterals
on Mississippi Place at his own expense. He did not connect into any existing
service connections on Mississippi Place, therefore, the whole expense was paid
directly to an individual plumbing contractor. He did connect to existing
service connections on Riverview Terrace, therefore, we have assessed him $447.39
for that connection based on the cost of Project No. 70 completed in 1965.
This was discussed with him in detail and he has, in fact, signed a special
assessment payment agreement with the City of Fridley dated October 21, 1982.
There seems to be some confusion as to why this did not appear on his search
as a pending when he bought the property. This assessment did not exist at that
time as we had no knowledge of his intent to use the service connections. It has
been our history in the past that this becomes an assessment on the property at
the time the developer chooses to use the service connections.
JOHN FLORA, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
CHRIS JELLEVAROV
MAY 5, 1983
For your information, this will be part of the 1983 Service Connection
Roll and will be assessed in October of this year.
There is an additional concern over this development that I would like to
bring to your attention at this time. When Mr. Jellevarov came in and requested
water meters, we explaned to him that we would like to install one water meter
for the entire building. It was his choice that each individual apartment have
its own water meter. Apparently, he intends to sell the apartments eventually
for condos. We explained to him at that time that irrespective of how many
water meters there are in the building, it is his responsibility to pay the
water bills. We explained to him that if a tenant moves out without paying
the water bill,it will be his responsibility. We additionally explained
to him that if the water bill is not paid it will be assessed to flim through
the County as a lien against his property and will be his responsibility.
During the discussion, Mr. Jellevarov raised the level of concern about this
and felt it was the responsibility of the City to collect the amount from
the renter. I made it very clear to him that if this happens, it will be his
responsibility. I am bringing this to your attention as a clarification of
the process in anticipation of future problems.
If you have any further questions on this matter, please feel free to let me
know.

/✓�� our7cro r"tw rTPTf1A7 CM%V LnD d-TTA7TT WITTSITAY_ h P/kd71 RTVFRVTW MMR- M 'amu
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, explained that connection charges were
assessed to this property owned by Mr. Zelevarov. He stated, in this
particular case, there were two separate connections, one off Mississippi
Place and an additional one on Riverview Terrace in order for this property
to be developed as a condo.
Mr. Flora stated there were a number of variances given when this property
was developed and the Appeals Commission worked hard with the developer and
adjacent property owners to find the best location and a number of
concessions were made on both sides. He stated the stipulations that were
made for the property have not, as yet, been complied with.
i4 Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the question is if the Council feels the
connection charges were justified. He pointed out this has been the City's
policy to charge for connection at the time someone hooks up to the sewer
��j or water system.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he felt the problem arose over confusion
whether the past owner should hve paid these charges when the lines were
constructed. He stated Mr. Zelevarov bought the property and supposedly
all the special assessments were paid, and assessed to the previous owner.
He stated if it can be pointed out this is not an assessment, but a
connection charge, perhaps the problem can be resolved.

Additionally, in John's memo, he mentions that a Certificate

April 1, and the person has a phone number. I present this
