he thought the addition would be a benefit to the applicant and the area.

of Appeals and approve the request for the sign variance for Ground Round.

, The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee• Meeting of January 15, 1974 Page 4
Chairman Crowder asked if there was any talk about eliminating this alley? Mr. Mattson
said it hasn't been a pressing issue.
Chairman Crowder asked what portion of the living area was on the east side of the
house? Mr. DeGardner answered that the bedrooms are on that side.
Mrs. Gabel asked if the adjacent land is vacant? Mr. DeGardner said it wasvacant
but that he doesn't own it. He added that the owner of that land has two lots and
will probably face the house, if he builds, toward Hickory Street.
Chairman Crowder stated his only concern is with the lots to the east but it seems
the variances wouldn't affect them that much. He asked if there was a large
boulevard in front of this lot? Mr. Mattson answered approximately 10 feet.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. Plemel said there is a hardship due to the fact that the foundation is in.
He said there seems to be no special problems involved.
Mrs. Gabel stated the intent to do it right is there.
Chairman Crowder said the adjacent dwelling could have a problem but it would be
nothing major. He said he couldn't see any precedent being set with the front
yard variance and there are no objections from the surrounding property owners.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to recommend to the City Council, approval
of the variances. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
i� unanimously.
�1 4. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205.152, 2, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE
MEAN FRONT YARD SETBACK FROM 105.5 FEET TO 50 FEET TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF
A_ DWELLING TO BE LOCATED ON PARCEL B OF LOT 5, BLOCK 2, RIVERWOOD MANOR, THE SAME
BEING 7132 RIVERVIEW TERRACE N.E., FRIDLEY; MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY MR. GARY BETTCHER
4536 - 7th STREET N.E., COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA.)
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Gary Bettcher was present to present his request.
Mr. Bettcher stated the two houses to the south of his lot are older homes that
have their own sewer systems and are built towards the river. He said the two
houses to the north are newer homes and built closer to the road. He said if his
house has to be built with the average setback, he would have sewer problems as
the land slopes toward the river. He said he would also have to install a longer
driveway than he wants.
Mr. Bettcher presented a letter signed by his adjoining property owners that
stated they had no objections to the variance.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to accept the letter of no objections. Upon
a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.

The. Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of. January 15, 1974 Page 5
Mr. Bettcher presented a set of his house plans to the Board. He said the dwelling
is an L-shaped design and the garage would be 50 feet from the property line but
the house would extend back another 37 feet.
Chairman Crowder asked if the neighbor directly to the south had any qualms about
the setback? Mr. Bettcher said the neighbor liked the setback as the house would
not block his view of the river.
Chairman Crowder asked if the back of the house was to be finished as he said the
Board had one recent case where the neighbor had an objection to the variance as
he did not want to look at a block wall. Mr. Bettcher said that he was not going
to have a walk -out type house, so the back would be finished.
Chairman Crowder asked if it was the applicants impression that he would have to
install his own septic tank if the house was moved back? Mr. Bettcher said no,
but he would probably have to install a pumping station or build a very high house
.to avoid the plumbing problems.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upona voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mrs. Gabel stated the hardship seems to be the plumbing problems that would be
created by moving the house farther back, and since no one objects, she can see
no reason for not approving the variance.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to recommeYid to the City Council, approval
of the variance for the above stated reasons. Upon a voice vote, there being no
nays, the motion carried unanimously.
A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205.053, 5A, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE
SIDE YARD SETBACK ON THE STREET SIDE OF A CORNER LOT FROM 17.5 FEET TO 10.5 FEET
TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A COVERED PORCH ONTO A DWELLING LOCATED ON LOT 4,
No one was present to present the request.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel,.to remove this item from table. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Chairman Crowder explained to the Board that this item had been tabled at the- i
December 11, 1973 meeting as no one was present to present the request. The 1
item then went to Council on December 17, 1973, where the applicant presented
it, and the Council approved the variance.
Mr. Mattson stated this house is on the corner of Matterhorn and Hillwind Road
and the boulevard on the variance side (Hillwind) is 50 feet•so there should be
no problem. He added there are no plans to widen Hillwind Road.
Chairman Crowder stated that since the design of the house and the boulevard
allows for good visibility for the cross traffic, and since the Council has
approved this request already, he could see no reason why the Board shouldn't
approve it.
