B. STATED HARDSHIP:
We are requesting additional room for enlarging bedrooms
and living area.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The neighboring house at 20 - 63rd Way NE is located
38 feet from the petitioner's house. Note that the
proposed construction will not bring the two buildings
any closer together. Adding on to the neighboring house
may be somewhat restricted by the petitioner's non-
conforming use.
Mr. & Mrs. Mealhouse were present at the meeting.
Mr. Mealhouse explained that they were requesting a variance
to enable them to build a ten -foot addition onto the rear of
their existing house.
Chairperson Schnabel indicated that the existing house
was only 8.1 feet from the lot line. She said, that if the
request was approved, it would also "grandfather" in the
8.1 foot distance.
Ms. Mealhouse said that the house had been built
approximately 30 years ago. She said that the addition
would enlarge the bedrooms and provide closet space for
the bedrooms.
Mr. Holden explained that the adjacent house was
38 feet from the Mealhouse's existing structure.
Mr. Kemper asked questions regarding the adjacent
properties.
Mr. Mealhouse adequately answered the questions.
Chairperson Schnabel indicated that by adding the
proposed addition to the existing house, they would not
actually be any closer to the adjacent property.
Ms. Mealhouse explained that they presently had a
large rearyard. She said that the entire addition would
be to the rear and would not be constructed any closer
to the neighbors structure.
Chairperson Schnabel asked if the Mealhouse's would
be able to remove the entire existing wall once the addition
was completed.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 25, 1277 Page 3
Mr. Mealhouse indicated that the entire wall except for
a 12 inch beam would be removed.
Mr. Plemel asked if they would do the construction
themselves.
Mr. & Mrs. Mealhouse indicated that a contractor would
do the work. They said that as soon as the variance would be
granted, the contractor planned to start the work.
Mrs. Mealhouse said that the neighbors that she had
talked to were in full agreement with what they planned.
Chairperson Schnabel indicated that there had been
no communication from any of the neighbors that had been
notified.
Chairperson Schnabel said that it had been established
that there was more than the 20 feet required between the
adjacent living areas and that the adjacent house probably
would not add to that side and even if they did, they could
add 18 or 19 feet if they so desired.
MOTION by Mr. Kemper, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to close
the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing was closed
at 7:52 P.M.
Ms. Gabel said that the Mealhouse's certainly did have
a hardship with the small rooms in the existing structure.
She said that they really did need more room.
MOTION by Mr. Kemper, seconded by Ms. Gabel' that the
Appeals Commission approve the request for variance of
Section 205.053, 41 B Fridley City Code, to reduce the side
yard adjoining living areas from the required 10 feet to 8.1
feet, to allow the construction of an addition to the back of an
existing house, located on Lots 4 and 5, Block 17, Fridley
Park Addition, the same being 40 NE 63rd 4°lay, Fridley, Minnesota.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairperson Schnabel indicated that they were free to
apply for their building permit.

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — OCTOBER L5,2 197? Page 4
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
729 Kimball Street N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.53, 19' B, requiring a minimum lot areas on a
lot recorded before December 29, 1955 of 7500 square feet.
Public purpose served is to avoid overcrowding in the residential
neighborhood and to avoid an excess burden on existing water and
sewer services.
Section 205.053, 4, A, requiring a front yard setback of 35 feet.
Public purpose served is to allow for off-street parking without
encroaching on the public right of way. Also for aesthetic
consideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment
into the neighbors front yard.
B.' STATED HARDSHIP:
No other land near by available for purchase, and to fit plan
on the lot variances required. Lot unbuildable without a variance.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Requests to build on sites such as this in the Riverview Heights
area have been common. The site is not located in the flood plain.
It appears that there is approximately 4 feet from the East property
line to the neighbor's garage. Neighboring front yard setbacks are
less than 35 feet. (Please refer to petitioner's survey).
Note: The address may be changed for this lot, when there is an
address change for the general area.
