PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.053, 4A, requires a front yard setback of not less than 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 205.053, 4B, requires a 10 foot side yard adjoining living area. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a minimum of 20 feet between living area 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 area around residential structures. B. STATED HARDSHIP; "Present family room is 10' x 12' and is no longer large enough to accomodate the 8 member family." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The present attached garage is pulled 9.8 feet ahead of the dwelling and is 35.4 feet from ti -ie front lot line and 5.6 feet from the side lot line. On July 24, 1972, the City Council approved a 5 foot side yard variance to allow a 20' x 12',covered patio behind this garage to be converted to living area. The proposed request is to enlarge this existing living area by converting 13111 feet of the exis ti ng garage to living area and adding 12 feet of garage area toward the front lot line. This would result in a 22' x 20' garage and a 25' x 20' living area. There is approximately 15 feet between adjacent structures and the existing living area has a fire wall on all parts 10 feet or closer to the lot line.

STATED HARDSHIP: "Present family room is 10' x 12' and is Po longer large enough to accomodate the 8 member family." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The present attached garage is pulled 9.8 feet ahead of the dwelling and is 35.4 feet from the front lot line and 5.6 feet from the side lot line. On July 24; 1972, the City Council approved a 5 foot side yard variance to allow a 20' x 12' covered patio behind this garage to be converted to living area. The proposed request is to enlarge this existing living area by converting 13� feet of the existing garage to living area and adding 12 feet of garage -- area toward the front lot line. This would result in a 22' x 20' garage and a 25' x 20' living area. There is approximately 15 feet between adjacent structures and the existing living area has a fire wall on all parts 10 feet or closer to the lot line. Pat Tichey of 74P1 Tempo Terrece N.E., Fridley, was prasent. Mr. Hill provided the Commission Members with an aerial view and recent photographs of the property. Mr. Hill said the only staff comment was that pulling the garage forward would make the dwelling inconsistent in appearance with others in the neighborhood and wondered if other possibilities had been explored. Mrs. Tichey presented each Commission Member with a detailed plan of what they . proposed to do. This plan involves changing the position of the front door to the addition, pulling the garage forward and adding a slanted roof with pillars to draw the attention from the garage to the front of the house. She also provided sketches of the present and proposed floor plans. This floor plan would involve pulling the garage forward, remove the present wall between the living room and garage, open the current living room to a new 12x20 addition. with the present family room. Mrs. Tichey indicated that they had consulted with several builders in the past two years and these plans seemed to be the best aesthetically as well as financially. Included in -the information provided Commission Members was the following: Objectives: Create a usable living/family room for a large family. Create a dining area for a large family. Create efficient traffic pattern and additional closet space. Minimize impact on existing site save existing patio, trees, shrubs and privacy fence. Acceptable cost. Enhance front view. Alternatives Considered: Move garage forward. Add"Ca to back of house. Build a separate garage.

Setback change will have less than -usual effect because a. Mature area with many shrubs and trees. b. Street has curve. ` c. Extending roof will keep visual proporation. The effect on the adjacent neighbor is minimized because. the change is on their garage side. Chairwoman Gabel stated her concern about neighbors objections and Mrs. Tichey provided a statement stating they had no objections signed by six of the neighbors. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Plemel to receive this petition into the record. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. This signed statement appears as Exhibit 1 to -these minutes. Chairwoman Gabel expressed concern, because of fire safety, about having windows on the new south wall, in the addition. Mrs. Tichey said they had planned to put skylights in that room and, because it would face the garage, it would not be a problem to eliminate windows on that wall. Chairwoman Gabel further stated that a fire wall should exist there for their own, as well as their neighbor's protection. .APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - APRIL 27 1982 PAGE 4 Chairwoman Gabel asked about the construction time table and Mrs. Tichey replied late summer, probably in August.
