THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 11, 1973
The meeting Fas called to order by Chairman Drigans at 7:35 P.M.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Drigans, Crowder, Gabel
MEMBERS ABSENT: Wahlberg
OTHERS PRESENT: Howard Mattson- Engineering Aide
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to approve the minutes of the August 14, 1973
meeting as written. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
1. A
FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 4
iSETBACK FROM 35 FEET TO 20
ONTO AN EXISTING DWELLING LOCATED ON LOTS 45, 46, 47 AND 48
HEIGHTS, THE SAME BEING 560 IRONTON STREET N.E. FRIDLEY, M
MR. MERLIN BRUNKOW. 560 IRONTON STREET N.E.. FRIDLEY. MINNE
Mr. Merlin Brunkow was present to present the request.
BLOCK G. RIVERVIEW
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Crowder, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Brunkow explained his existing dwelling is 20 feet by 30 feet and he would
like to put an addition of 15 feet by 24 feet off to the side toward the driveway.
He -said it would be an enclosed addition that would be.partially a bedroom and
partially a den. He said the existing house is approximately 20 years old and
is a one story and the addition would have the same roof line and have no basement.
Chairman Drigans asked -Mr. Brunkow if he had talked to any of the neighbors about
the variance.
Mr. Brunkow answered that he had talked to some of them and he met with no objections.
Chairman Drigans asked if any of the houses in the area, that are similar to this,
have additions built onto them.
Mr. Brunkow answered there are houses that have had additions put on them but none
have been put on since he has lived there.
Mr. Crowder asked if there were any easements, that might create a problem, in the
proposed addition area.
Mr. Mattson answered that there was not.
Chairman Drigans stated that Mr. Brunkow's request had been heard by the Council
on September 10th and he asked Mr. Brunkow what action the Council had taken.
Mr. Brunkow answered the Council had -approved the variance depending upon what
this Board did. -
Mr. Mattson stated the City had asked Mr. Brunkow to write a letter to the City
Council asking them to take action on his request before the Board of Appeals
meeting as he indicated he was in a hurry to start the addition.
Chairman Drigans asked if the other homes in the area were all set back the same
distance as this one.
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of September 11, 1973 Page 2
Mr. Mattson answered that all the houses appear to be in line.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Crowder said he could see nothing undesirable about this request as the
existing house is very small and we have found no reason to be opposed to this.
Chairman Drigans said the hardship seems to be the existing house location and
having only 600 square feet and the owner just wants to expand it.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to concur with the City Council in approving
the variance. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
2. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 45.134, 6, PARAGRAPH 3, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO
REDUCE THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK, WHEN M-1 ZONING IS ADJACENT TO ANOTHER
ZONING DISTRICT, FROM 100 FEET TO 70 FEET TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN OFFICE
AND WAREHOUSE TO BE LOCATED ON LOTS 1 THRU 20, TOGETHER WITH VACATED BROOK STREET,
CENTRAL AVENUE ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 1290 - 73RD AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.
(REQUEST BY MR. DONALD BABINSKI, 900 WEST COUNTY ROAD D, ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Dick Brama, President of Bryant -Franklin Corporation, and Mr. Babinski's
partner, was present to present the request.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Crowder, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Brama explained they bought the land with the understanding it was an
industrial site. He said when they applied for a building permit they found out
only part of the land was zoned correctly and part was zoned C-1 and part was
zoned C-2, so they are now also in the process of rezoning these lots.
Mr. Brama continued this building will be just north of the building they built
last year and are now renting out to Onans. He said they want to build this
building and incorporate it with the other for the rental market available with
Onan and Medtronics.
Mr. Brama said they have ordered the steel as they never anticipated they would
have to rezone, and the steel should be delivered around the third week in October.
He added the building will conform to all the other Codes except the front yard
setback and they can't move the building back farther as they need the space in
back for parking and the loading dock.
Chairman Drigans asked how old the existing building was and Mr. Brama answered
it was just completed last fall.
Mr. Crowder asked about the zoning of the corner property on 73rd and Central.
Mr. Mattson explained there are two or three different zoning districts on this
property and across 73rd Avenue there is C -1S zoning.
Mr. Brama said the part of this building facing 73rd Avenue would be dedicated to
offices and all the loading will be in the back so the C -1S zoning would be
looking at a store front more or less. He said the side of the building facing
Central Avenue would also not have any loading area. All the doors for loading
are in the back of the building.
a
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of September 11, 1973 Page 3
Chairman Drigans asked if the semis could be turned around in the 75 foot.loading
area.
Mr. Brama answered they could very easily. He said they can be turned around in
not much more space than their length.
Mr. Crowder asked what the zoning is on the property down 73rd Avenue. He added
will the companys that own that land be coming in for variances also.
Mr. Mattson answered that it is M-1 across from C-2.
Mr. Crowder asked about the driveway entrances.
Mr. Brama said the driveways could be self sustaining but will probably be
overlapped for practicality.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Drigans stated that since a portion of the property has to be rezoned,
the Planning Commission will also be involved in this.
Mr. Crowder asked if this property stayed commercial, would he need a variance
at all.
Mr. Mattson said if the zoning stayed commercial, he wouldn't be able to build this
building at all. He said the use of the building makes the difference.
Mr. Crowder said he didn't see anything wrong with what is being requested. He said
the building could be built smaller than proposed. He said he certainly would state
that if the variance was approved it would be contingent upon getting approval of
whatever zoning changes he needs to get.
Chairman Drigans said -this type of building, all modular design, is the most
economical for renting or selling space. He said he would rather see.the area
rezoned to have the two buildings complement each other and have all the storage
in back. He said the hardship here is the zoning across the street.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Crowder, to recommend to the City Council, approval
of the variance, to be contingent upon the Planning Commission approving the
rezonings. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
3, A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 45.053, 4, B4, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE
SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR AN ATTACHED GARAGE FROM 5 FEET TO 3.2 FEET, TO ALLOW THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A GARAGE TO BE LOCATED ON LOT 4, BLOCK 1, DONNAY'S LAKEVIEW MANOR,
THE SAME BEING 5871 WEST MOORE LAKE DRIVE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY
MR. BERNARD WEDGEWOOD, 5871 14EST MOORE LAKE DRIVE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Bernard Wedgewood was present to present his request.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
The.Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meetinrz of Sentember 11. 1973 Page 4
Mr. Wedgewood explained he would like to add on a 16 foot wide garage but. since
his lot is irregular, the garage would be 3.2.feet from the property line on the
back corner and the front corner would be _7 feet from the line.
Mr. Crowder asked if the neighbor to the south has a garage and how far his
structures are from the line.
Mr. Wedgewood said the dwelling is the same as his and does not have a garage.
Chairman Drigans asked what happens if the neighbor wants to build a garage also.
Mr. Floyd Bradley, 5861 West Moore Lake Drive, neighbor to the south, said his
house is approximately 24 feet 8 inches from the line so he has plenty of room
to build a garage. He said he has thought of building a 20 foot garage and then
he would need a 4 inch variance. He added he has no objections to Mr. Wedgewood's
variance.
Mr. Crowder asked Mr. Wedgewood if he planned on putting a patio off the back of
the garage.
Mr. Wedgewood answered he did not as his house is a walkout in the back and it
drops off at a 35 degree angle. He said it has been done in other places but he
does not plan to.
Mr. Crowder stated the Board is concerned about the closeness of structures
because of fire. He asked Mr. Wedgewood if he would be willing to install a
firewall on the one side of his garage.
Mr. Wedgewood, after finding out what a firewall was, agreed that he would install
it if it was stipulated.
Mr. Crowder stated the only alternative would be to move the garage forward, but
then a front yard variance would be necessary.
Chairman Drigans stated Mr. Wedgewood would need the incline to get into the
garage.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Crowder said that the garage can't be moved backward because of the lay of
the land and it can't be placed forward without another variance and one of the
hardships is that this is the only place to put. the garage. He said Mr. Wedgewood
is only asking to build a single garage and he has agreed to install a firewall.
He added the lot does taper which is another hardship and there are no structures
that are to close on the adjacent property.
Chairman Drigans added that when and if both garages are built, they will be
approximately 8 feet apart.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, approval
of the request for the hardships mentioned above and with the stipulation that
the south.;iall of the garage contain the necessary fireproofing and have no openings.
Upon:a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.

4. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 45.153, PARAGRAPH 2, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO
INCREASE THE FRONT.YARD SETBACK FROM 35 FEET TO 60 FEET TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A DWELLING TO BE LOCATED ON LOT 19, BLOCK 1, INNSBRUCK NORTH 2ND ADDITION, THE
SAME BEING 1408 WEST DANUBE ROAD N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY RICHARD
MILLER HOMES, 1600 RICE CREEK ROAD N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Richard Kleinow, of Richard Miller Homes, was present to present the request.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Crowder, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Kleinow explained the problem with keeping the house at the required setback
is the steepness of the driveway. lie said they have already dropped the floor
of the garage and added 3 more courses of block. He said as the last resort they
could cut down the lot but then they would lose a lot of the trees and destroy
the whole effect they are trying to create. He said the lot is deep so there is
still plenty of back yard.
Chairman Drigans asked him if he represented the builder only.
Mr. Kleinow said he represented both the builder and the buyer.
Chairman Drigans asked what this kind of a setback would do to the other
lots
on either side of this lot as they are all vacant.
Mr. Kleinow said in his opinion most of the lots are unbuildable because
of being
swampy. He said some of the lots could be filled in and built on and he expected
one or two to be deeded to the City.
Mr. Crowder asked if the house were turned, to be squared on the lot, and
have a
35 foot setback, would the driveway still be to steep.
Mr. Kleinow answered the ratio would be 1 foot to 72 feet and would be so
steep
that the car bumper would hit on the curb.
Mr. Crowder asked if there was anything in the area now.
Mr. Kleinow said the streets are just now being installed. He added that if they
go much deeper, they would run into water problems. He said they have considered
all the alternatives and the only one they would possibly use is cutting the
garage floor down further but he added it wouldn't be a very good thing to do.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Drigans stated this is a lot where the topography dictates extreme hardship.
The adjoining lots are at the most questionable building sites according to the
builder himself. He said there should be no problem to the rear, as this lot abuts
the freeway right of way and he thought they tried to keep within the Code for the
best suitable location for the house. He said he could see no other alternative
but to grant the variance:
Chairman Drigans stated the Board has to look at each variance in this area
individually and it has to look at all factors involved and all of these lots
are not the same as far as topography. He said he felt the Board should state
such whenever people from this area come before this commission with variances.
He said we want to maintain this area as far as trees and nature go.
The. Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of September 11, 1973 Page 6
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, approval
of the variance. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
unanimously.

RECEIVING_ THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 11, 1973:
REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 45.053. 4A. FRIDLEY CITY CODE. TO
BRUNKOW, 560 IRONTON STREET N. E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA):
Councilman Nee said he was concerned about this item and thought the
motion in the minutes of the Board of Appeals may not.be correct. He
added, he would not want the Board of Appeals to think the Council had
given approval of the variance without their recommendation and thought
it should be made clear to the Board that the Council had made a motion
to concur with the decision of the Board, not to approve the item. He
said he would not want the Board to think any matter would be approved
by the Council and sent to the Board for a rubber stamping.
The City Engineer assured the Council that the member of the staff
present at the meeting was aware of•the intent of the Council's motion.
He said he thought the motion was in error rather than the Board believing
the Council had given prior approval of the request.
Councilman Breider referred to a portion of the minutes where Mr. Blair
spelled out a hardship in this matter. The City Engineer said approving
the variance would bring this construction in line with the other structures
in the neighborhood.
