Wagner Page 2 August 25, 1965 � Therefore, under the above definitions a two family dwelling must be i1. defined as a building containing two dwelling units meaning a group of rooms including cooking accommodations, each occupied by one family as a single nonprofit housekeeping unit. Each family could lodge up to tw% persons for compensation in each dwelling unit pro- viding it did not have separate cooking accommodations, etc., (a • I board and room type of arrangement rather than a housekeeping privilege arrangement) . r In the event a,party applies for a permit for a two family dwelling and during construction appears to provide services or make certain construction alterations that make it appear that he is going to �.' allow three or more families to occupy the house, the, City must give ' the owner the benefit of the doubt and presume that the construction and services are legal if subject to a legal construction. You mentioned, for example, that in a particular situation the owner has ,k requested three service entries from Northern States Power Company. .. �` This alone would not be sufficient to presume an illegal occupancy. The same is true if the basement is completely finish, twq. �„��. $.-_u,pstaira..�' Rowever, to prevent tie waivers of a violation 4 ron behalf of the City,'a good policy would be to have the City Build- �.� ing Inspector write a letter to the owner advising the owner that the unusual construction detail or the unusual service request'has been noted by the Inspector, and that the owner be reminded that his permit allows only two family dwelling and no occupancy by other ' � than two families would be permitted. This would put the owner in N �`r a position to proceed at his own peril if he is planning a violation x and not complaining later that the Building Inspector knew all along # ' he was contemplating three or four families and therefore it causes,. an undue hardship to enforce the ordinance at a later date. 'rin the 'event the building is completed and occupied by more than twd' ^" families, the City should proceed swiftly to enforce the ordinance and stop the violation. In reference,to your inquiry as to whether or not Section 45.171 i conflicts with Section 45.07, a section adopted at a later date, I. w - believe it's logical to interpet that Section 45.171 applies to additional uses to all districts and would override the limitations of 45.07 even though an earlier ordinance. Therefore, it would appear that in an R-2 District you could have dwelling units not ex - 1; ceeding four in number if the dwelling had a ratio of one for each 600 square feet of floor area and if the dwelling is fifteen years or older. This, of course, is contrary to 45.07 which allowed not more than two family dwellings and boarding and lodging houses but would be an•authorized.additional use. If this is not the Council's intent, then Section 45.171 should be amended..

C. N.S.S.S.D.: PUBLIC HEARING OCTOBER 27, 1970 Councilman Harris reported that there is to be a public hearing by the N.S.S.S.D. October 27th at 7:30 P.M. concerning the downward revision of use charges. It is his feeling that there should -be a O.balance.at the time of the takeover by the Metropolitan Sewer Board. This would mean that there would be no use charges for the third and fourth quarter. He suggested that any -Council member that could, should be in attendance. Mayor Kirkham asked the Acting City Manager to go, along with anyone else that could attend. Councilman Harris said that he has had some further discussions with Joe Cook and they are taking a less strenuous stand -and he felt that there may be room for some negotiation, and that it can be amiably worked out. I, GEORGE BALTHAZOR; 1374 -HIGHWAY #100: Councilman Sheridan said that he recently received a call from Mr. George Balthazor asking him what he thought the -Council reaction would be to his asking for a rezoning. Councilman Sheridan said that he told Mr. Balthazor his opinion, then he asked if he could get an extension of time on his special use peftit granted about A years ago. Councilman Sheridan told Mr. Balthazor that he would place it before Council. He said that he seemed to be concerned about the administrative charge for the publications. This is the case where there, are three families in.a double bungalow. Councilman Harris said that he thought that Mr. Balthazor agreed.witli the Council when the Council extended the special use permit .to.January.1 , 1971. Councilman Sheridan said that he had told Mr. Balthazor to call him later in the week after he brought up his question at the Council meeting. If a rezoning -is asked for, the people in the neighborhood would be up here in force and if there was an extension of time on the special use permit there should be.a public hearing and the people would still object as it would be, in effect, a temporary rezoning. He said that he thought that the Council was lenient with him in the first place. Councilman Harris said that he was sympathetic with him at first because he thought that he just needed some more time, and that he had a solution to his problems,�but it would.just take.a little more time. Councilman Sheridan said that he would be in a better tax bracket to sell if he could wait.* This is what he told the Council last time, and he was given an'extension. It was agreed by tete Council that Councilman Sheridan could report to Mr. Balthazor that the Council would not act favorably on his request.

The -object is to try to avoid fatalities. The hearing was held but the proposal was turned down. The School. Board. feels that sidewalks are-needed.`on•'the' north --stele.

There -was evidence that the bower level is not now occupied. The Chief Building Inspector talked to their daughter who said that the Balthazors are now -in Florida and have complied with the agreement. He said that whether or not they would return to that residence in the spring he did not know.

The Council.made.a decision on West Moore Lake rive to delete the sidewalks based on the objections of the people living on -the street.- in this summary the people voting for the sidewalks do not live on the street, so it is not their -particular problem. The Council cannot delete sidewalks on one project and have -a hearing based on people's wanting sidewalks that do not live on the street. This Council should hold in abeyance until they can come up with a policy. The people on Gardena Avenue aro: against.the side s:so a hearing.would be a•waste of time. He suggested that the Engineering. Department- develop tine criteria before comping back to hold another Public Hearing. It would behoove the Administration to check with other conpunities to see what they have done. A member of the audience said that.there would-be a large replacement factor. The sidewalks would break up and have -to be repaired at their expense. Councilman Harris said that the Engineering Department would take this into consideration as far as the street improvement goes. The Council must be .responsive to the citizens. He felt that they -should go back to the PTA and if they have a formal proposal this Council should.listen to them. PETITION NO. 9°19.71 - OPPOSED-TO.THE.OPENING BY THE CITY.COUNCIL OF HEARINGS PERTAINING TO -HAVING SIDEWALKS AND BOULEVARDS INSTALLED ON GARDENA AVENUE MOTION by Councilman Harris to receive Petition No. 91971.. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Councilman Harris that the Council not hold.a Public Hearing on February 8, 1971, as it would serve no useful purpose. Seconded by Councilmaicn Kelshaw. Councilman Braider said that he did not fully understand the.problems. On Osborne Road the sidewalks were not scheduled until 1974, but they went in last year with no trouble. The hearing was held and the sidewalks were put in. Now with Gardena and west Moore Lake Drive, it has been a battle ground. He said that he agreed with Mr. Ross that the.subci.ttee should.submit.their survey to the PTA and the Council.should.not hold a Public Hearing until they come back with a recommendation. His feeling at this time is to not place the item on the Agenft for further hearings. Mr. Lawrence Olson, 1048 Hackmann Avenue. N..E., said -that there has been a lot said about the Safety Committemof the PTA. A poll was taken and it indicated that some were for and some were againstand some offered no comment. There. are a number of people not living on Gardena Avenue that use that street. The safety aspects must be brought out. Everyone should be given a chance to see the little children walking on Gardena when school opens in the morning and closes at night. This is an unsafe situation. He said that he was not con- cerned with the mechanics, all they wanted to do was to bring the question to the people. He did not know how far it should extend or on what side of.the street it should be, this should be left up to the City.

Fridley, Minnesota 55421 Re: Change of Address Dear Sir: It has been brought to our attention that some of the residences on the North side of Skywood Lane have changed their street address -from Highway #100 to Skywood Lane N.E. This change certainly is logical since Highway #100 is no longer'in existence, however, the house numbers also must be changed. There is also some of you that still carry the Highway #100 address. Therefore, in the best interest of the City and you, we are changing your address from 1374 Highway #100 N.E. to 1375 Skywood Lane-N.E. If you have any questions on the above matter, please feel free to contact this office. Sincerely, A A D (as) D BREL G. cUra, Community Development Adm. DGC /mh ' DATE: December 8, 1994 TO: FILE FROM: Grant Fernelius, Housing Coordinator SUBJECT: Inspection of 1375 Skywood lane On December 8, 1994 John Palacio, Chief Building Official, and I inspected this duplex. We inspected both the interior and exterior of the structure. Design and Layout The duplex is a rambler -style with the units constructed side-by- side separated by a common garage (one stall per unit). Each unit has a front entrance, garage entrance, and an entrance from the lower level via a walk -out basement. Both units have a kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and livingroom on the mainfloor; a rec room, mechanical/laundry room, full bath and two bedrooms are located on the lower level. Structural Condition For the most part, the building is in good structural condition. No cracks, bulges, sagging or damage was observed. Spalling on the masonry block was noted in one of the units. There does appear to be some deterioration (rotting) on the patio/deck. Plumbing/Mechanical/Electrical All of these systems appear to be plumbing violations were noted in bathrooms. The furnace and water should probably be replaced. Doors/Windows in good condition. Some minor one of the lower level heater are older units which All of the windows are single -pane casement type. All units have storm windows, but several screen/storm sash combination units are missing or broken. Several windows appear to be rotting from both the interior and exterior. All of the bedroom windows should be replaced with rescue size units. Some of the bedroom and closet doors have been damaged and should be replaced. 1375 Skywood Lane Interior Condition The walls, ceilings, and trim are in good to fair condition. The carpet in the lower level was damaged by water and mold is evident on some of the basement walls. The carpet in some areas has been removed. The bathrooms also show signs of deterioration and missing tiles. The kitchen cabinets and appliances are old and damaged. Health and Safety Smoke detectors are missing in both units. In addition, handrails and guardrails are missing or broken in both units. Exterior Condition The stucco is cracked in some spots and the entire house should be resplashed. The soffits and eaves are slightly deteriorated and it appears that some work has been done. The gutters are rusted and falling apart. The back deck is cantilevered and the beam running along the back appears to have pulled away from the deck joists. One of the end joists is completely rotted. The structural supports for the deck consist of wrought iron. Due to snow, we were unable to view the roof. Conclusion The home is worthy on rehabilitation, not demolition. Although substantial rehabilitation is not needed. The interior of both units should be remodeled and updated. Code repairs are also necessary. However, this property could be very attractive for someone who would like to live on one side and rent out the other unit. z CITY OF FRIDLEY CIVIC CENTER • 6431 UNIVERSITY AVE. N.E. FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55432 • PHONE (612) 571-3450 February 6, 1990 Connie Hess Centrust Mortgage 4105 Lexington Avenue North Suite 150 Arden Hills, MN 55126 Dear Ms. Hess: This is to confirm the City's regulations regarding nonconforming properties. The subject property is addressed as 1375 Skywood Lane N.E. It is legally described as Lot 3, Subdivision of Lot 10, Auditor's Subdivision No. 94. The City Council on August 3, 1964 approved the special use permit granting the double bungalow at the subject property. The zoning code at that time required a special use permit for a double bungalow in a R-1, Single Family Dwelling, district. The zoning code has since been changed such that double bungalows, or as now defined as two-family dwellings, are not permitted in an R-1 district. As such, the two family dwelling is a legal nonconforming use. Section 205.04.03.d states as follows: "Whenever a lawful, nonconforming structure is damaged by fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, tornado, riot, or act of God, it may be reconstructed and used as before if it is reconstructed within twelve (12) months after such calamity, except if the damage to the building or structure is fifty (50) percent or more of its fair market value, as determined by the City, in which case the reconstruction shall be for a use in accordance with the provisions of this chapter." Therefore, the building could be reconstructed as a two-family structure if the damage to the property was less than 50% of its fair market value, and if it was completed within 12 months after the date of the occurrence. If these tests could not be met, the property would have to be used as a single family dwelling. f - Connie Hess February 6, 1990 Page 2 Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.
