The exsisting detached garage will be removed. Notice is hereby given that all persons having an interest therein will be given the opportunity to be heard at the above time and place. PATRICIA GABEL 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 Commission with only a recommendation from the Appeals Commission. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 26, 1984 PAGE 3 W. Clark stated the door located on the first building was not on the original plan and it was staff's opinion that some of the hardship was created by placing the door on this building. Mr. Paschke stated he builds for the buyer and not himself and if .they want a door, they will provide one wherever they want it. MOTION BY MR. PLENEL, SECONDED BY MR. BARNA, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:47 P. M. Mr. Barna stated in taking the whole area into consideration, he can't point out where there is green area between buildings. Mr. Clark stated there is one, but the space between the buildings is a lot more. Also, these are others that are probably in existance if given time to research. Ms. Gabel stated she didn't like to give up the green area, but this barrier might cause more trouble for the truck traffic than it is worth. She also felt it would be difficult to maintain this area. Mr. Plemel stated he can understand the City planners would like to have as much green area as possible, but couldn't see where this 10 feet would greatly add to the landscaping. MOTION BY MR. PLEMEL, SECONDED BY MR. BARNA TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 205 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A 5 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE PROPERTY LINE FOR A PARKING OR HARD SURFACE AREA, TO ALLOW ROOM FOR TRUCK TRAFFIC, ON LOTS 2 AND 3, BLOCK 4, UNIVERSITY INDUSTRIAL PARK, THE SAME BEING 8010 AND 8050 RANCHER'S ROAD, WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE PROPER EASEMENTS BE EXECUTED TO ACCOMPLISH THE JOINT USE OF THE DRIVEWAY FACILITY. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Gabel stated this item would go to the City Council on August 6, 1984. 2.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.3D.2b, requires a side yard adjoining an attached garage to be not less than 5 feet wide.

B. STATED HARDSHIP: "Need garage that is 21 feet wide to gain entry into garage through a 9' x 7' overhead door. Rear entry steps would create entry problems if garage were smaller." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The house to the south of the petitioners is 22 feet from the pro- perty line. This garage, if approved, would be 25 feet from the neighbor's house. Therefore if the Board approves this request, staff has no stipulations to recommend. Mr. Barna asked the petitioner, Mr. Geretschlaeger, why he wished to have a larger garage. Mr. Geretschlaeger stated he needed this garage to house his vehicles as he carries tools in one of the vehicles and wants to be able to keep it locked in the garage. W. Geretschlaeger stated he needed the additional floor area in order to angle the vehicles into the garage in such a manner that it would permit him to get both vehicles in and out, when needed. Mr. Geretschlaeger explained the design of the roof and stated he would like to begin construction as soon as possible. Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Geretschlaeger if he had talked to his neighbors about this plan. Mr. Geretschlaeger stated several neighbors were at the meeting earlier and he explained his plan to them and they had no problems with it. W. Barna stated the hardship, as he sees it, is W. Geretschlaeger needs storage space for his two vbhnicles, especially for the one which houses his tools and must be stored inside. MOTION BY MS. GEROU, SECONDED BY M.
