Notice is hereby given that the Appeals Commission of the City of Fridley
will conduct a public hearing in the City Council Chambers at 6431 University
;! Avenue )°lortheast at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, October 10, 1978, in regard to
j the fol 1 owi ng :
A request for a variance pursuant to .chapter 205 of the:.
Fridley City Code, to allow the construction of a 24 ft.
by 14 ft. attached garage to the dwelling at 4.60$'22 Street
N.E. A -variance is needed because this addition will be
2 1/2 feet from the side property line instead of the'
minimun requirement of 5 feet.
u
Notice is hereby given that all persons having an interest therein will be
given an opportunity to be heard.
VIRG114IA SCHNAQEL
CHAIRWOMAN
APPEALS COMMISSION
Note: The Appeals Commission will have the final action on this request,
unless there are objections from surrounding neighbors, the City Staff, or
the petitioner does not agree with the Commission's decision. If any of
these events occur, the request will continue to the City Council through
the Planning Com miission with only a recommendation from the Appeals Commission.
Item 1 - October 10, 1978
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
4608 22 Street N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
205.053, (4B, #4) S -I -DE YARD- ADJO-I-NING AN ATTACHED GARAGE SHALL BE NOT LESS
THAN 5 FEET WIDE.
Public purpose served by this requirment is to provide space between
individual structures to reduce conflagration of fire, to provide access
to the rear yard for emergencies and to limit the condition of crowding
in the residential neighborhood.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
This variance would enable me to build a 14' wide attached garage which
is less than an average single garage. Due to the step down nature of
the lot and the very narrow access from 46th Avenue, no other site would
be suitable without much added expense, which would be financially prohibitive.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
A condition of the lot split on this property by Mr. Harvey Rolstad signed
on June 30, 1978 stated that there would be a garage and hard surfaced
driveway constructed on this lot before September 1, 1979. The petitioner
proposes an attached garage and intends to avoid the steep slope in the rear.
Please refer to the verifying surveys and lot split surveys in the file. The
proposed garage would be 12.8' from the rear of the house to the south.
