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.

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. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
