Item #3, April 9, 1985
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
60140 Stinson Boulevard N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.07.3D.2a, requires a minimum 10 'foot side yard setback between
living areas and any side property line.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a minimum of 20
feet between living areas in adjacent structures and 15 feet between garages
and living areas in adjacent structures to reduce exposure to conflagration
of fire. It is also to allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas around
residential structures.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Need extra space (width) to allow for easy passage through to the outside
area, and to make room wide enough for normal use."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The house to the south of the petitioner's house is 17 feet from the common
property line. Therefore there would be 214 feet between living areas if the
variance is granted.
The staff has no stipulations to suggest if the Board recommends approval.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL'9, 1985 PAGE 6
Ms. Gabel stated this sign is a necessary sign, and the reduction in size
was very desirable. She had no objection to the variance.

the sign is located on and they have asked FMC to reduce the size of
the sign to 144 square feet. The County has no objection to having the
sign located on their property.
If the Board recommends approval on this request, the Staff has no
stipulations to suggest.
Mr. Clark stated that on one of the sign plans in the Commission's agenda, in
the upper right hand corner, Mr. Torkildson, Director of the Anoka County
Parks & Recreation Department,had verified the fact that the County has
requested the sign be replaced with a smaller sign
Mr. Sykora presented a letter to the Commission which was addressed to
himself from the Anoka County Department of Parks & Recreation which stated
that Anoka County has requested FMC to reduce the size of the informational
sign located on Park property in the City of Fridley and has agreed with
FMC for a sign approximately 12 ft. by 12 ft. being placed in a similar
location for directional information only. The County was requesting this
sign be replaced by the end of April 1985 or at least the existing sign be
removed by that time.
MOTION BY MS. GEROU, SECONDED BY MR. BETZOLD, TO RECEIVE THE LETTER INTO THE
RECORD.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Sykora showed the Commissioners a photograph of the existing sign.
located on Anoka County property. He stated there are five entrances into
FMC, and this sign is the only sign for southbound traffic. The only other
sign in the area or across from East River Road from that is a large 30 ft.
by 30 ft. sign that indicates that FMC is navy -owned, so people coming south,
about 200 vehicles a day, have no indication that this is the main gate for
them to enter so there is the potential safety hazard of people going too far
or slowing down and not being sure of the right entrance.
Ms. Gabel stated it has been her position that any time they can reduce a
large sign as significantly as this, they are headed in the right direction.
MOTION BY MS. GEROU, SECONDED BY MR. BETZOLD, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AT 8:04 P.M.
Ms. Gerou stated she had no problem with this variance. The sign was being
reduced to about 1/3 of the existing sign.
Mr. Betzold stated he felt a directional sign at this particular location
was needed, because there are so many entrances. He had no objection to
the variance.

C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The house to the south of the petitioner's house is 17 feet from the
common property line. Therefore, there would be 24 feet between living
areas if the variance is granted.
The staff has no stipulations to suggest if the Board recommends approval.
Mr.Clark stated that on the last page of the Commission's agenda was a letter
from the neighbor to the south, Tom Haley, 6030 Stinson Blvd., stating he had
no objection to Mr. Kubacki's plans.
MOTION BY MS. GEROU, SECONDED BY MR. BARNA, TO RECEIVE THE LETTER DATED
MARCH 21, 1985, FROM TOM HALEY.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Kubacki showed the Commission the plans for the addition. He stated
that when they originally built the house,.they had wanted a family room;
but for financial reasons, they did not add the family room on at that time.
Their family has now increased, and they would like to add the family room
on. The minimum he could build was 82 ft., but in order to make room for
adequate passage into the house, a closet area, and mud room area, the extra
32 ft. would make a real functional room. He stated he also hopes to gain
some solar heat from the southern exposure.
Mr. Kubacki stated that because of poor soil in the area, this area of the
lot was the only part that was really buildable. That was why the house was
located close to the southerly lot line and was not centered on the lot.
MOTION BY MS. GEROU, SECONDED BY MR. BARNA, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M.
Mr. Betzold stated there would still be 24 ft. between this house and the
neighbor's house, and the overall structure was not being moved any closer,
just extending the line, although this will be living area as opposed to
garage area. The petitioner would not have had this problem if the house
could have been built more in the center of the lot. He thought a variance
was appropriate in this case.
Mr. Barna stated he had no problem with the variance. The living area would
still be 12 ft. away from the neighbor's house than the garage is now. He
could see the need for additional living space. The placement of the house
on the lot was basically the reason for the variance; it was nothing caused
by the petitioner himself.
APPEALS COMMISSION'MEETING;'APRIL'9i'1985. PAGE 8
Ms. Gerou stated that because of the uniqueness of the lot, the placement of
the house on the lot, and the fact that the line was just being extended,
she would be in favor of the Variance.
Ms. Gabel agreed with what the other Commissioners had said.
