VAR 05.83M� 6431 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55432 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TELEPHONE ( 612)571-3450 June 3, 1983 Notice is hereby given that the Appeals Commission of the City of Fridley will conduct a Public Hearing in the City Council Chambers at 6431 University Avenue Northeast at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 14 , 1983 in regard to the following matter: Request for variance pursuant to Chapter 205 of the Fridley City Code, to reduce the required side yard on a corner lot from 17.5 feet to 13.5 feet to allow construction of an 8 foot addition to existing garage on Lots 12, 13, and 14, Block 0, Riverview Heights Addition, the same being 8301 Riverview Terrace. Notice is hereby given that all persons having an interest therein will be given the opportunity to be heard at the above time and place. PATRICIA GABEL CHAIRWOMAN APPEALS COMMISSION Note: The Appeals Commission will have the final action on this request, unless there are objections from surrounding neighbors, the City Staff, or the petitioner does not agree with the Commission's decision. If any of these events occur, the request will continue to the City Council through the Planning Commission with only a recommendation from the Appeals Commission. Item #3, June 14, 1983 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 8301 Riverview Terrace N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.053, 4B, #5a, requires a minimum side yard width of 17.5 feet on the street side of a corner lot. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "Existing single car garage was built 21.5 feet from the side property line. In order to obtain a two car garage (20' x 221) encroachment of 4 feet into the required side yard is necessary." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The original house was built in 1968 with a single stall garage. With the adoption of the new Zoning Code, the City is encouraging the development of double car garages and in fact require double car garages with new house construction. This should be promoted within the limitations of the setback requirements and the public purpose served. In this case, Riverview Terrace, north of Kimball Street, is a dead-end road and only serves as access to three residences and does not generate a high amount of traffic where visibility would be a problem. The house directly east of this property is set back at 12.4 feet and therefore does not suffer from encroachment with the expansion as per this request. The staff has no stipulations to add to this variance if the Board approves this request. NOTE: This property is outside of the Flood Plain. 10 Item #3, June 14, 1983 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 8301 Riverview Terrace N.E. A.

B. STATED HARDSHIP: 'Would like to build a screen porch which would extend 11 feet from the existing structure. There is an undedicated street which makes the 7995 property a corner lot. The City would like to vacate the street; however I would like to use the porch this summer." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: This property is located on a corner subject only to dedicated right of way. Dover Street,. east of Broad, will not be improved because of the differences in grade between street surfaces. Although the right of way makes this property a corner lot and therefore requires additional setback, the public purpose served by the requirement does not apply to this property. There is no street traffic which would require visibility. The property to the east is on top of the hill and is not affected by the "line of sight" encroachment. The staff has no stipulations to add to this variance if the Board, approves this request. Mr. Clark reported that the Staff Report pretty much explained everything. Mr. Plemel asked if there was anything in the works of vacation. Mrs. Eastwood said she did not know of any. Mr. Clark presented the plans for the 3 -season porch and said it will not be seen from the street and meets the building code. Mr. Plemel asked what would happen if the street were vacated and Mr. Clark said there would be no en- croachment. Mr. Plemel asked if the porch would be living quarters and Mrs. Eastwood said no, it would just be a porch. MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mr. Barna, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:50 P.M. Mr. Barna noted that there will probably not be a street going in there and even if there was a street, there would be no interference and Ms. Gabel noted that the public purpose would still be maintained. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Betzold, to approve the variance request to reduce the required side yard on a corner lot frem 17.5 feet to 10+ feet to allow construction of a screen porch on the side of an existing structure on Lots 19, 20, 21, and 22, Block L, Riverview Heights Addition, the same being 7995 Broad Avenue N.E., Fridley, Minnesota.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC DARING OPEN AT 7:55 P.M. Chairperson Gabel read the Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 8301 Riverview Terrace S.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.053. 4B. #5a• requires a minimum side yard width of 17.5 feet on the street side of a corner lot. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "Existing single car garage was built 21.5 feet from the side property line. In order to obtain a two car garage (20' x 221) encroachment of 4 feet into the required side yard is necessary." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The original house was built in 1968 with a single stall garage. With the adoption of the new Zoning Code, the City is encouraging the development of double car garages and in fact require double car garages with new house Construction. This should be promoted within the limitations of the setback requirements and the public purpose served. -In this case, Riverview Terrace, north of Kimball Street, is a dead-end road and only serves as access to three residences and does not generate a high amount of traffic where visibility would be a problem. The house directly east of this property is set back at 12.4 feet and therefore does not suffer from encroachment with the expansion as per this request. The staff has no stipulations to add to this variance if the Board approves this request. NOTE: This property is outside of the Flood Plain. Mr. Clark presented some photos of the area and said that, regarding the "line of sight" encroachment, you would have to be almost in front of the house to see anything. Ms. Gabel noted there are a lot of trees in the area and asked if the trees and telephone pole are a problem. Mr. Moore said he didn't see any problems and the trees are very helpful during winter snowstorms. He said he presently has 'a 14' X 22' garage and would like a double garage to keep the additional car off the street and the extension would be either 6 or 8 feet. He said he is getting estimates and somebody else will be doing the work. Ms. Gabel asked about the roof lines being tied in. Mr. Moore it will look like part of the original structure. Appeals Commission Reeting — June 14, 1983 Page 6 B. STATED HARDSHIP: "The present signs are obsolete and the cost of refurbishing would be prohibitive. Chevrolet Motor Division, as part of our Dealer Sales and Service Agreement, has asked us to instll GM identification signs to be compatible -with -the rest of their GM dealers". C. ADKINISMT1U STAFF REVIEW: The existing free standing sign is 343 square feet and is 35 feet high. This was originally installed on June 179 1965 and used to advertize Edison Mobile Homes. When Viking Chevrolet purchased the property, they repainted the sign with their name and product. At this time, Viking Chevrolet, at the request of General Motors, wants to erect two (2) new standard Dealer Identification signs and remove the existing free standing sign. The new Identifications signs will have a total sign area of 371 square feet with one (1) sign being forty-seven (47) feet high and the other being thirty-six (36) feet high. Viking also wishes to erect two (2) 119" x 695" (approximately 7 square feet) directional signs to inform customers where the body shop and service departments are located. The seven (7) square feet is three (3) more than the maximum allowable of four (4) square feet. In addition, Viking has an existing 2' x 12' (twenty-four (24) square feet) directional sign that is only two feet off the right of way. This sign was erected without a sign permit. Approval of a variance to increase the maximum allowable sign area from twenty-four square feet, and a variance to permit a sign two feet from the right of way instead of the permitted ten feet would allow the staff to issue a sign permit. In addition, there are several signs painted directly on the building and Instead of applying for a variance to allow this, Viking Chevrolet has agreed to paint over these signs. Finally, Viking Chevrolet has indicated that they will be reconditioning all of the existing signs. Ms. Gabel noted there were several variances and they should start with the first two free standing signs. Mr. Clark presented aerial photos of the area which showed the general location of the signs they are requesting and said the directional sign is on Fireside Drive, a half block off Highway #65. Mr. Peugh (Signcrafters) said one free standing sign is for the corporation I.D. for Chevrolet and the other is for Trucks, 151 X 15-• and 11' X 111. He said he talked to GM about the signs and they do make a 42' sign. Ms. Gabel said she could understand about the GM corporate I.D. sign and asked about the Truck sign. Mr. Peugh said GM wants a Truck sign. He said their present sign is about 35 feet and they asked for a 47 foot sign but they can get a 42 foot sign. Ms. Gabel stated that GM is aware that cities have sign codes and asked if they are aware how much they are out of code. Mr. Peugh said they are aware. Mr. Plemel asked if the square footage would change if the sign were lower. Mr. Peugh said it would remain the same. He said the sign would be interior lit stainless steel and the concrete would be covered with metal. Ms. Gabel asked why they want to go from 25' to 47' and 25' to 361. Mr. Peugh said that is what GM stated and the dealer does not have much to say about it. Ms. Gabel said she was sure they would cut it down if they have to and that when she worked on the sign committee they found out that corporations would cut down signs because of all the different city codes.
