ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 4544 - 2ND STREET N E , FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST
BY MR. JOE POWERS, 4544 - 2ND STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Joe Powers was present to present his request.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to waive reading the public hearing notice.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
..lir. Powers stated he wants to add another story onto his house, for more room,
and the existing roof will be removed. He said he was told that the existing
house hasn't had any variances approved on it and to put a 50 percent improvement
into the structure, the variances need to be requested so no one can come back
and say its illegal.
Mrs. Gabel asked then if all of the variances requested are already existing.
Mr. Powers answered that the house is existing, and all of the variances are
to make it legal, so he can add on a second story.
Chairman Drigans asked who lives on either side of -this property. Mr. Powers
answered Mr. Jacobson lives to the south and Mr. Frakie lives to the north.
Chairman Drigans asked if he had any plans on the addition. Mr. Powers said
he did not as he was given to understand that this meeting was just to consider the
variances. Chairman Drigans said the Board does like to see the plans, because
on this request, the window placement could be such as to invade the neighbors
privacy.
Mrs. Gabel asked if there were any other two story structures in the area.
Mr. Powers answered there are some double bungalows behind him that are two story.
Chairman Drigans asked if there were any objections from the neighbors. Mr.
Powers said he had talked to them and there were none. Mr. Frakie was in the
audience and stated he had no objections.
Chairman Drigans asked if he had received any estimates for the work involved.
Mr. Powers stated the work will run between $8,000 and $10,000. He said he
did have a firm committment on the total outside work which includes new siding
and a brick front.
-Mr. Mattson stated he had talked'to the Fire Prevention Chief about the distances
between the structures and if there would be any fire problems created with a
two story but in his opinion -they would not be creating any additional problems.
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of May 14, 1974 Page 4
Mr. Powers said the windows in the second story should not cause any problems
because they would look out onto the roofs of the adjacent houses. He said the
addition will only be about 4 feet higher than it is now.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. Plemel stated he would be inclined to go along with the variances as the
home is already there and with the different style it will be an improvement
to the area. He said it is a small lot and to build up seems the way to go.
Mrs. Gabel agreed with Mr. Plemel.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded -by Gabel, to recommend to Council, approval of the
variances. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
3. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205.053, 4B, 5B, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE
THE REQUIRED SETBACK FOR A -GARAGE EXISTING ONTO AN ALLEY, FROM 25 FEET TO 16 FEET,

ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 4548 -2ND STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (RE2UEST BY
MR. ROGER FRAKIE, 4548 - 2ND STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Frakie was present to present the request.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to waive the public hearing notice reading.
Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried.
Mr. Frakie stated he wants to build a garage off the alley and have it line up
with Mr. Powers garage which is 16 feet off the alley. He added the alley only
goes to Mr. Powers property and then deadends.
Chairman Drigans stated 16 feet is not wide enough to park a car without being
in the alley. Mr. Frakie said he could leave a space to park along side of the
garage if need be but he said he now parks in_the front yard and he would like
a garage to park the car in.
Chairman Drigans asked if he would agree to install an automatic door opener on
the garage as that would.encourage parking in the garage. Mr. Frakie said that
that sounded reasonable.
MOTION by Plemel, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice
vote, there -being no nays, the motion carried.
Mrs. Gabel stated she could see no problem, if the car would be parked in the
garage, as it will conform to the adjoining property and there were no objections
from the neighbors.
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, to recommend to the Council; approval of
the variance, with the stipulation that an automatic garage door opener be
installed when the garage door is installed. Upon a voice vote, there being
no nays, the motion carried unanimously.

MOTION by Councilman Nee to concur with the recommendation cf the Board of Appeals
and approve the variances. Seconded by Councilman Breider for discussion.
Councilman Breider said he had one question concerning the approval of the
variance. His questions concerned the recommended stipulation that a garage door
opener be installed. He questioned what would be the point in requiring this
installation at the present time, what assurances would the Council have that
it would be used or what would happen if it was broken.
Councilman Nee said he did not consider this stipulation a part of his motion and
he did not feel strongly that this should be installed.He said he would like to
make it possible for the applicant to build the garage. He pointed out this is
a very narrow lot and is difficult to work with. He added, if the applicant wants
to put in the door opener, fine, but he did not consider this a part of the motion.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
unanimously.

stipulations would be an added expense to the applicants. He said the time
period would enable the people to complete the work at a later date and
without added immediate expense. Mayor•Liebl also explained the immediate
expense of construction to be a substantial investment, and noted the people
would have to be in business for a while to make money to complete the
