APPEALS COMMISSION_MEETING, NOVEMBER 13, 1979 PAGE 5
Ms. Label questioned why he was here if he had a request in for city sewer and water.
Surely the c -4y would prefer him to have it.
Mr. Barna poinded out, even if approval for the services was given, it could be 3 or 4.
years before it\was installed. The variance would allow him utilities until that time.
Ms. Gabel said th city platted the area his lot was in and therefore this lot was
suppose to be buil able. If the city was not going -to put sewer and water in, they
would have to allow this variance. She asked if the other property owner's were aware
of assessment charge for the service.
Air. Moravetz said yes. ere are 2 lots that could be split and they will also have to
be stubbed in with the services.
Mr. Smith pointed out that' arrel Clark said those 2 property could hold off the assess-
ment until the 2 lots were s lit. He also stated the other 2 property owners desired
to have the services extended to their properties.
Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Smith:if
aggreable with him.
Mr. Smith replied yes.
Mr. Barna asked why Mr. Smith did
2 stipulations on the Anoka County letter would be
apply sooner for city sewer and water.
He said -the previous owner had told hi the costs and required lift station would
prohibit development of the services.
Mr. Moravetz pointed out that owner had gi n him some erroneous information and that
was too bad for Mr. Smith because of the un ecessary expenses incurred.
Mr. Barna pointed out the staff stipulated testing of the sewer system each year and
wanted to know who did the testing and who paid the costs.
Mr. Moravetz said testing would probably be'done by either Anoka County or Fridley's
Environmental Officer. If there were any -costs, the owner would be required to pay,
since it was for his safety and benefit.
The Appeals Commission felt because at present Mr. Sm th had no alternative but a private
sewer system and Rice Creek Watershed, Anoka County Co prehensive Health and the city
had no objections, the variance should be granted.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Plemel to close the ublic hearing.
UPON,A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE -CHAIRPERSON GABEL D LARED THE MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:24 P.M.
MOTION by Mr. Ba=na, seconded by Mr. Plemel to recommend to City Council approval of

,well, instead of the zequired 100 feet, on 6840 Sivert's Lane NE., with the following

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 13, 1979 PAGE 7.
Mr. Walt Galay, the petitoner, and Mr. Bud Skoglund, Wausau Homes representative,
were present for the request. Mr. Skoglund described the proposed home. He said
the home would be 24 feet x 36 feet, with a walkout facing the street. Each level
has an independent heating system,'so Mr. Galay would only have to heat what was
needed. There will be 2 bedrooms on the main level with the potential of 2 more on
the secondary level. The outside of the home will be finished with lap siding and
the future garage would allow entrance from either 5th Street or the alley. The
selling price was $40,000 and that meant complete on the lot and finished inside.
Mr. Galay would only have to add his personal belongings.
Ms. Gabel said the size and style would fit into the area, arid. what was.,presently on the
lot was an eyesore.
Mr. Barna pointed out with the potential.of 2 more bedrooms, resale would be good.
it was noted there was a new garage located on the back portion of the lot.
Ms. Gabel asked if Mr. Galay had talked to his neighbors.
Mr. Galay answered yes and knew of no objections.
Mrs. Pat Ramsey, 5336 -6th Street and Mrs. Norma Goings, 5372 -6th Street, both live in
back of Mr. Galay and were present at the meeting. They both .expressed approval for
the new home. 11

4. OTHER BUSINESS:
Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Moravetz if anything had been decided about the proHem of wording
on "Stated Hardships".
Mr. Moravetz said not that he was aware of.
Ms. Gabel thought before next spring when the Appeals Commission will be getting many
variance requests, this problem should be solved. The hardship should be stated properly
on the application for reference. (Refer to discussion under 'Other Business", October
9, 1979)
