Item #1 September 30, 1980 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 5530 -6th Street N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.053, 4B,#5a, requires a side yard width on a street side of a corner lot to be not less than 17.5 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "Need variance to extend living room and bedroom out 12 feet on the south side of house. We are unable to acquire additional land because we are adjacent to a street right of way." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The existing dwelling was constructed in 1953 with a side yard setback on the south side of 12 feet. The University East Service Road was constructed sometime in the early 1960's making the existing house non -conforming to the 17.5 foot side yard setback for a corner lot. There is a 41 foot boulevard (verified by Engineering) between the proposed addition and the back of curb, and the house adjacent to the rear lot line faces 5th Street, so the addition would not obstruct traffic visibility or the neighbor's "line of sight". The only problem would occur if and when the service road was widened to the extent that the boulevard would be eliminated. Since the surface width of the service road is 30 feet, is it doubtful if this road would be widened. Item #1 September 30, 1980 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 5530 -6th Street N.E. A.

Kangas, 5530 6th Street N.E., Fridley, MN, -was present. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:32 P.M. Chairwoman Schnabel read the Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 5530 -6th Street N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:. Section 205.053, 4B,#Sa, requires a side yard width on a street side of a corner lot to be not less than 17.5 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "Need variance to extend living room and bedroom out 12 feet on the south side of house. We are unable to acquire additional land because we are adjacent to a street right of way." APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - September 30, 1980 Page 2 C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The existing dwelling was constructed in 1953 with a side yard setback on the south side of 12 feet. The University East Service Road was constructed sometime in the early 1960's making the existing house non-comforming to the 17.5 foot side yard setback for a corner lot. There is a 41 root boulevard (verified by Engineering) between the proposed addition and the back of curb, and the house adjacent to the rear lot line faces 5th Street, so the addition would not obstruct traffic visibility or the neighbor's "line of sight". The only problem would occur if and when the service road was widened to the extent that the boulevard would be eliminated. Since the surface width of the service road is 30 feet, is it doubtful if this road would be widened. Mr. Clark showed the Commission aerial photographs and suggested that the owner petition for partial vacation of the land along the service road as it is really not our right-of-way. He said it was acquired for the Interstate Highway and was turned over to the City but not signed by the State. He also stated that it would be a lot of red tape to get something vacated that has been acquired with Federal funds, possibly years. Chairwoman Schnabel suggested that they try to acquire land in that process all along the service road for all of the houses in that area and wanted to know if the City or the homeowners should make t,x application. Mr. Clara: felt that it would be beneficial and they could survey those homeowners in that area and have them sign a petition and also help them in figuring out where the alignment would be and to help them with the process. Mrs. Gable asked Mr. Kangas if he had drawings of the addition. He stated that the contractor had them. She then asked him if the roof lines would be tied together. He stated no, that they want to save the window on the second floor as the children ' bedroom is upstairs, that the addition will be right below that. He also stated that there will be a basement and the work will be started right away. MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:45 P.M. MOTION BY Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Barna to approve the variance to reduce the required side yard setback on a corner lot from 17-1/2 feet to 0 feet, to allow the construction of a 12�foot by 26 foot addition to an existing house located on the south half of Lot 4, and all of Lot 5, Block 7, Hamilton's Addition to Mechanicsville, the same being 5530 6th Street N.E., Fridley, Minnesota.
