REPORT - 6405 Van Buren Street N.E,., VAR #88-23 A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.03.D,(1), requires a front yard depth of not.- . less -;than 35 feet. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, SWM4BER 20, 1988 PAGE 2 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" encrnacbnent into the neighbor's front yard. Section 205.07.03.D, (2), (c), (1), requires a side yard depth on the street side of a corner lot of not less than 17.5 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroacxment into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATS HAMM IP: "The house is 768 sq. ft. with no basement, and no attic that is usable. I need a little more living and storage space. I want to end up with a dining area and also a large walk-in closet off the one bedroom. The only way to accnnplish this is going out the front (west) of the house about 6 feet. Going south will not work because the house will end up very close to the street and it would involve extensive moving of existing walls inside the house. Going north would only add on to the 2 bedroans, not what I want. Going east (out the back) would not work because of the rear entrance to the house. Adding on this direction v3ould mean the back entrance would came in to either the dining roam or a bedroan - neither would be acceptable. Having to go out any 2 directions (like north and east) would make it financially impossible. u C. ADKWISTRATIVE STAFF RE IM: The petitioner, Ms. Shirley Switzer, is requesting two variances be approved in order to construct an addition on her house located at 6405 Van Buren Street N.E. These variances are: 1. To reduce the front yard setback frau 33 ft. to 26 ft. 2. To reduce the side yard setback from 17.5 ft. to 8.5 ft. Ms. Switzer is proposing to add approximately 150 sq. ft. onto her house which is currently 768 sq. ft. This addition would be used partially as a dining room and walk-in closet. To establish a logical floor plan which would meet the. petitioner's needs, the addition. can only be placed on the west side (front) of the house. This establishes the need for the variance requests. Men analyzing this request, consideration should be given to. the following iters : 1. size of structure 2. existing floor plan s APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1988 PAGE 3 3. location of structure on the lot 4. property is a corner lot 5. the front yard setbacks of neighboring properties: (6415 Van Buren - 40 ft.; 6425 Van Buren - 40 ft.; 6451 Van Buren - 40 ft.) If approved, staff recommends the following stipulation be attached to the variance: 1. 1. Addition is structurally compatible with the existing structure. Mr. Clark stated that Ms. Switzer had submitted a letter at the meeting from her neighbor to the north, Mr. Negri, at 6415 Van Buren. MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Mr. Ruechle, to receive into the record a letter dated September 15, 1988, from James Negri at 6415 Van Buren Street N.E. stating he has no objection to the variances requested by Ms. Switzer. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BARNA DDCLAREO THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. me Clark stated this howas constructed back in the late 1940's/early 19501s. It is slab house built on a corner lot. Mien it was originally built, it had a driveway that went all the way to Mississippi St. There really was no building code at the time this house was built, so the existing house ended up about 8.5 feet from 64th Avenue and 33 ft. back from Van Buren Street in the front. Mr. Clark stated Ms. Switzer would like to add on to the house and as stated in her hardship, she feels the only way she can economically add on to the house is to the west. She is asking to go out 6 ft. which would reduce the existing 33 ft. front yard setback down to 26 ft. Mr. Clark showed the Commissioners a copy of the floor plan which showed where the addition will be located and how it related to the rest of the house. The Commissioners should note that the addition will not cut down any more of the site lines than what is existing because it is not going all the way to the south end of the house. Mr. Clark stated if the variances are approved, Ms. Switzer plans to retain the services of a soils engineer to analyze the soil to make sure what kind of footing system is needed under this addition. He stated he believed Ms. Switzer did plan to have the addition match the existing facade of the house. Mr. Clark stated the side yard setback is existing at 8.5 feet. It is only the.: front yard that will be reduced by 6 feet. Mr. Clark stated he will be looking at the soils engineer's recommendation, and that will all be decided before the building permit is issued. APPEALS Ca44ISSION MEETING, SEPTE[BER 20, 1988 PAGE 4 MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Sherek, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BARNA DBM?jRED THE PUBLIC BEARING CIDSED AT 7:50 P.M. Dr. Vos stated the hardship was pretty well stated. There were really no other options for expansion except to the west, and he had no objection to granting the variances. Mr..Sherek stated he had no abjection to approving the variances. The addition would not look bad, and the hardship has been established. Mr. Kuechle stated he was a little concerned about the site lines along the front, but the hardship has been established, and he saw no ready alternative. He also would be in favor of granting the variances. Mr. Barna stated he thought the hardship had been established because of the size of the house (below City's mininn n square footage for a house)and the originality of the house, with no basement and only a small attic. He stated additional living space is always necessary, and he would vote in favor of the N variances. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Dr. Vos, to approve variance request, VAR #88-23, pursuant to Section 205.07.03.D,(1) of the Fridley City Code to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 26 feet; pursuant to Section 205.07.03.D,(2),(c),(1), of the Fridley City Code to reduce the side yard setback on a corner lot from 17.5 feet to 8.5 feet to allow the construction of additional living and storage space on Lots 16 and 17, Block 3, Florence Park Addition, the same being 6405 Van Buren Street N.E., with the following stipulations: 1.

Inspected two test holes dug near tle proposed front addition to a Single Family *elj1ug at 6405 Van Buren- Street in Fridley, Mu. The holes were dug to. depths of 4 and 7 feet below -existing ground. The holes revealed a mediun dense, tan to red brown sand. These soil conditions are adequste for foundation support. DISTRIBUTION 1 cc: Mrs. Shirley Switzer 1 cc: Fridley Bldg. Insp. Dept. THESE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY STATEMENTS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS REPORT: 1. In performing our professional services with regard to earthwork inspection and quality control, our findings will be obtained and our recommendations made, in accordance with generally accepted engineering principles and practices. We will observe, monitor and test this work, and may advise or make recommendations, but we are not guarantors. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties either expressed or implied. 2. Subterranean Engineering Corp. does not practice in the field of land surveying, and is not responsible for the accuracy of grade stakes and/or building locafion stakes at this jobsife. There must be adequate construction stakes, dearly marked, to enable our soil inspector to properly assess the excavation. We will not be responsible for any harm, ful consequences resulting from improper or incorrect construction staking. 3. The field density fast data presented with this report represents the values at par- ticlar. localized points within the earthwork. Alhough this is believed to be fairly repro• sentative of the condition of the fill placed and compacted on this date, conditions at other locations and elevations in the fill may vary, and we do not warrant or guarantee uniform fill densities. 4. We cannot certify, either expressly or by implication, the quality of any work on this project which we did not have the opportunity to observe of first hand. Inspection of this earthwork project at irregular intervals does not permit the inspector to assess the full scope of the contractor's activities. 5. If the structure is redesigned in size and shape, or if it is otherwise moved subsequent to our inspection, we should be notified so that we can asseu if additional inspection work is required, or suggest sound engineering alternatives. We are not responsible for any soil -foundation system where the structure has been relocated with respect to excavation and fill area, subsequent to our inspection. I ,, Job.No. X-88252 October 12, 1988 Ms' Shirley Switze 5 Van Buren Stre t ridley, Minnesota 55432 re: Soil Studies House Addition Switzer Residence Fridley, Minnesota The house and the soils below it were inspected by us on September 27, 1988 and a report was issued, which indicated that the foundation subsoil is adequate to carry structural loadings. Furthermore it is basically a sandy material which has very little susceptibility to frost heave. For your house addition we recommend that the addition should be on a thickened edge slab. This slab should not be rigidly attached to the existing slab -on -grade. SUMTERNAMEAN ENSRAWEERRARG 6875 Highway 65 N.E. P.O. Box 32308 Minneapolis, MN 55432 (612) 571-6066 201 West Travelers Trail Burnsville, MN 55337 (612) 890-6510 2 For the wood frame construction above do not use rigid connection of new wood framing to the framing of the original house. Instead we recommend that at the connection you should use slotted holes with lag bolts into the original members. This would provide some latitude for a small amount of differential settlement, if it were to occur. At the roof line where the roof of the new addition matches up with the existing house roof we recommend that wider sheet metal flashings than usual should be used. The purpose of this recommendation is again to allow for some small amount of differential movement, without resulting in roof leakage. We trust that this provides the additional information which will help you in formulating your plans, and will address the questions raised by the Fridley Building Inspector.
