CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 249 1986 PAGE 2
Chairperson Betzold read the Administrative Staff Report:
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
LOT 15, BLOCK 2, RIVERWOOD PARK
YAR 186-13
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.07.3D.1 requires a front yard with a depth of not less
than thirty-five (35) feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street
parking with encroaching on the public right-of-way and also for
aesthetic consideration to reduce the building "line of sight" encroach-
ment into the neighbor's front yard.
Section 205.07.3D.3a requires a rear yard with a depth of not less than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the lot depth.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space
to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
Site is located on a new plat and is also on a corner lot. House is
82 ft. long and lot is 120 ft. deep. Frontage is on Riverwood Drive.
Solar panels would be located on the south so therefore would need more
room on the south.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
This size house would not fit on this lot no matter what way it faces.
If the Board feels this house could be built on this lot,some
consideration could be given to moving it further to the west (rear
lot line). This would put the east end of the house more in line with
the required 35 foot setback for the vacant lot to the north.
The existing house to the west faces Riverview Terrace and its rear
yard is adjacent to this lot. Its rear yard is about 35 feet deep.
If the Board approves this request, the Staff has no stipulations to
recommend.
Mr. Clark stated the public hearing' notice was sent out with some flexibility
as far as the movement of the house. The plot plan in the agenda showed 172 ft.
setback in the rear yard. The public hearing notice stated that the year yard
setback could be reduced down as far as 5 ft. This gave the Commission some
flexibility in moving the house if they chose to approve the variances.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 3
Mr. Clark showed the Commission a photo of the lot taken at.the rear lot line
showing the adjoining house next door. He also showed the Commission an
aerial photo of the property.
Mr. Clark stated there was an inaccuracy in the staff report. The builder
was not intending to put solar panels in the house at all. There would be
solar ge;n through solar glazing on the south side of the house.
Mr. Clark stated the reason Staff was suggesting that the house be pushed to
the west was because the house on the lot to the north would be 35 ft. from
the property line, and the proposed house on the lot in question would be
171z ft. in front of it.
Mr. Clark stated he had received a telephone call from the resident at
158 71st Way whose main concern was over the solar panels. Since there were
not going to be any solar panels, he assumed her concern would be satisfied.
Mr. Dennis Lanz, the prospective home owner, showed the Commission the house
plans. He stated there were no solar panels on the house. It was a series
of five French doors on the front of the house intended for passive solar heat
gain during the winter and a massive fireplace and court tile inside the house
for heat gain in the winter. This type of house also required trees in front
for blockage of solar gain in the summer. He stated the front of the house
faced what was platted as the "side yard" and the side of the house faced what
was platted as the"front yard". He stated there would be very few windows in
the house which faced other than to the south. He stated the house was quite
long (the living area was 60 ft. long) and, as such, really only fit on this
one lot.
Mr. Marc Putman, the landscape architect, showed slides of the site.
He stated the points they attempted to pay attention to in preparing the plan
was if the side yard became the front yard (which according to city ordinance,
the shortest side was the front yard on a corner lot), then they had to meet
a 172 ft. setback. They could go to 5 ft. or 10 ft. and 25% of the lot depth
or 25 ft., whichever was less, and pay attention to the front setback of 35 ft.
They keep the front setback and they end up saving a lot of trees. He stated
this was a very nice house designed to fit on this site.
Mr. Betzold stated that in order to grant the hardship, the law required there
had to be something that was unique about the land that would make it difficult
to use the property. The Staff had said in the staff report that "this size
house would not fit on the lot no matter what way it faces". His question was:
Was the builder overbuilding on the lot and trying to put in a house that was
too big on a lot that was going to require a variance?
Mr. Putman stated this house fit on a long narrow lot. It was a typical
rambler house set on a rambler lot. From that viewpoint, the only variance,
if the front of the house was facing the "front yard" would be a narrowed
rear yard, but the fact that they were maintaining a tree buffer mitigated
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 4
that circumstance, in that they control the adjacent lot and the likelihood
of being able to control that blank wall.
Mr. Betzold stated the fact that they control the adjacent lot could not be
a major concern in this case, because those lots are going to be sold. The
Commission faces situations all the time where someone builds far too close
to a lot line, and then they are stuck with what is there. There was also no
guarantee that those trees would stay there either.
Mr. LeRoy Anderson, the developer, stated one of the functions of siting homes
within any housing area regardless of the lot size dealt with the livability
of the home. The way the property was platted, if the house was situated
facing the "front yard",every time the traffic turned right, theoretically,
the front of the house would get nothing but headlights. That was not appro-
priate siting, because they would then have to design all the living area to
the rear, and that did not make the house livable.
Mr. Anderson stated that in an in -fill project where so far the average sale
price has been $140,000 and this house was in the $160,000 range, they are
looking at trying to set a character that supports and improves the surrounding
housing to maximize the values. He did not look at it as trying to overbuild
within the strict zoning aspect.
Mr. Putman stated the house did cover less than 25% of the lot.
Mr. Anderson stated this lot was the entry point of the development in setting
architectural characteristics. This project provided an opportunity for step-
up housing for people who still want to stay within the Fridley area.
Mr. Barna stated that as the house was designed, he could not see anything that
would justify a hardship. The house could be changed very slightly and be
made suitable for the lot.
Mr. Lanz stated there were many ways they could build on this lot. Obviously,
they could build a smaller house and facd the house east, but he could
guarantee that house would not be anywhere as nice as the proposed house.
Mr. Putman stated this was a very unusual site; and if they want to use trade
words, that created hardships in design. If there was a special corner lot
vdth grade, with trees, it warranted value. If it was in the corner of a
development, from the city standpoint, from being proud of the community to
designing a good project that holds its value well in initial sales and follow-
up sales, it made sense to try to do something well. Now someone has come
forward willing to spend $20-30,000 more than the average for the rest of the
houses in the area and build a custom house that required one setback variance
and changed the definition of the "front yard". From that standpoint, the
lot was difficult to build on.
Mr. Barna stated he agreed with the petitioner regarding the front yard versus
side yard issue.
01
APPEALS C0141ISSION MEETING, JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 5
Ms. Yvonne Hermanson, 180 71st Way, stated she lived directly across from
the proposed house. She stated she loved the trees, and she hoped the builder
would save as many trees as possible. She would be concerned about the
neighbors to the west that their back yard would not have a house sitting
too close,.and.she would object if the variance was granted to reduce the
rear yard setback to 5 ft. That would be too close to the neighbor's
property line.
Mr. Putman stated that if he lived across the street, he would want this
house built compared to what might be built there. Given the front yard
setback, the required side yard setback would be 172 ft. If they changed
the definition of the front yard to what the ordinance required, this house
then moved forward. If the neighbors want more trees, it was better to have
a house that was long and narrow and set back 35 ft. from 71st Way.
Mr. Anderson stated the reason to stay at 172 ft. on the rear yard was to keep
the house further away from the neighbor to the west and not disturb the tree
buffer on the west side.
Ms. Corinne Albay, 7105 Riverview Terrace, stated she lived on the lot to the
west. Her main objection was if the setback was reduced to 5 ft. If the
setback was 172 ft, and with the tree buffer, she would not object to the
variances. She stated the house as planned made sense to her.
Mr. Betzold stated that if the city code had said that 71st Way was the front
Of the lot, then the only variance that would be needed by the petitioner
would be the rear lot line (north).
Mr. Clark stated the house as proposed was ll.ft. from the property line at
the closest point. The requirement was 25 ft. He stated one thing they
might want to consider was that if the house on the lot to the north was
iaoved to the north, then the houses would be farther apart.
Mr. Anderson stated he would agree to that if the Commission approved the
variance with a stipulation to offset the house on the lot to the north.
He could agree to a house 46-47 ft. in length on lot 14 to the north. That
would give about 30 ft. between the two structures.
Mr. Bill May, 7110 Riverview Terrace, stated that if the house was going to
sit on the lot the way it was proposed, he would ask that the Appeals
Commission vote "yes" for the variances. He stated he thouqht the house would
look good in the neighborhood.
Mr. Dennis Scheller, 7121 Riverview Terrace, stated he appreciated the
aesthetics with the way the house was proposed. He would like to see the
variance granted.
MOTION BY MR. BARNA, SECONDED BY MS. SAVAGE, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AT 8:42 P.M.
APPEALS CRIMISSION MEETING, JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 6
Mr. Barna stated the hardship was still hard to define. They were talking
about a solar house frontage, not solar panels. According to state guide-
lines, solar was one of the things they can look at in allowing variances.
So, he would rationalize the hardship as the double frontage of the lot, the
desire to have a solar aspect to the house, the maintaining of the front yard
to the south which was legally the side yard, and then requiring an aesthetic
maintenance of a rear yard which, if the frontage of the lot to the north was
added, would not require a variance.
Ms. Savage stated she had some concerns mainly because it just seemed that
the house was too big for the lot. However, it appeared that with the stipu-
lation assuggested by Staff, it would aesthetically enlarge the lot so the
spirit of the code would be met. So, she did not disapprove of the variance
as long as they make that stipulation.
Mr. Betzold stated he did agree with the developer that it made more sense on
this particular lot to have the house facing 71st Way. He did not think this
particular house should be facing Riverwood Drive. However, that did create
some problems and needs and they have to look at the whole situation. Corner
lots have also been quite troublesome. He stated the hardship was a little
bit thin, but he thought they had found a way that should be able to keep
everything within the spirit of the code. They have been told this is a key
development corner and that this is a very important development. Since they
have spent about 1 hr. 15 min. discussing this, he felt that, even if the
Commission does agree to grant the variances, that maybe the City Council
should take a look at this too.
Mr. Dennis Lanz stated that if this had to go on to the City Council on
July 21, he would not wait that long. He would build a house elsewhere.
He stated this would be another delay, and then there were no guarantees that
the pity Council would approve the variance. He stated he would not go on
with this to City Council.
Mr. Betzold stated he still felt strongly that the City Council should loot; at
this variance request. Whatever is built on this lot will be there a long time.
MOTION BY MR. BARNA, SECONDED BY MS. SAVAGE, TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL
SAL OF THE VARIANCE REQUESTS, VAR #86-13, BY LEROY ANDERSON, PURSUANT TO
CHAPTER 205 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE FRONT YARD SETBACK

VAR #86-13
Section 205.07.3D.1, requires a front yard with a depth of not less
than thirty -five -(35) feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street
parking without encroaching on the public right of way and also for
aesthetic consideration to reduce the building "line of sight"
encroachment into the neighbor's front yard.
Section 205.07.3D.3a, requires a rear yard with a depth of not less
than twenty-five percent (250) of the lot depth.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space
to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood.
Site is located on a new plat and is also on a corner lot. House is
82' long and lot is 120' deep. Frontage is on Riverwood Drive. Solar
panels would be located on the south so therefore would need more room
on the south.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
This size house would not fit on this lot no matter what way it faces.
If the Board feels this house could be built on this lot some
consideration could be given to moving it further to the west (rear lot
line). Uhis would put the east end of house more in line with the
required 35 foot setback for the vacant lot to the north.
The existing house to the west faces Riverview Terrace and its rear
yard is adjacent to this lot. Its rear yard is about 30 feet deep.
If the Board approves this request the Staff has no stipulations to
recc mend.
