Maple -grove, MN 55311
Dear Ms. Rosenberg:
October 7, 1993
On October 4, 1993, the Fridley City Council officially denied your
request for a Variance, VAR #93-24, to allow the construction of
a single car garage when a two car garage is required on Lots 19
and 20, Block 15, Fridley Park, the same being 71 - 63 1/2 Way N.E.
However, the variance to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet
to 22 feet to allow an existing encroachment was approved.
If you have any questions regarding the above action, please call
me at 572-3590.
Sincerely,
Barbara Dacy, AICP
Community Development Director

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 4. 1993 PAGE 5
Ms. Prasek stated that if it makes more sense to request a variance
for the amount of square footage of their signs, the church would
be willing to apply for the variance.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, asked if the variance would be for the
size of the sign or for a second, detached sign.
Ms. Dacy stated that there are two options. She stated t t there
could be a variance request for the amount of square ootage for
both_ signs, which is. not 'to exceed :.80 square...fee The .other
op't'ion is a: wall . sign. variance.
Ms. ..Prasek stated -that if• the Council would She
ee to a'shorter' time
period for the temporary sign, such as o year, this would be
acceptable to the church.
Councilwoman .atJorgenson stated that/she she has a difficult time
determining how this variance coul be granted without setting a
precedent. She stated that it ap ears the Council has to look at
how square footage for signs ' allotted for churches and non-
profit organizations.
Councilman Billings stated hat he -views this as a pion -traditional
residential use in. a resi ential zoning district, and he fel•t'there
are times when /the'eariahce
s need to be made.. to the sign -'code. He
pointed out that which was approved for a sign for a
home day. care River Road was in a residential zoning
district. He stperhaps there should be a variance to the
square footage.
Councilman Sc eider stated that he would be more comfortable with
a variance n the square footage than with an extension of the
temporary ign.
Xow
y Councilman Billings to table this item to the October 18,
ncil meeting at. which time staff should submit a revised•
and, further, to extend the time of the temporary sign to
to remain until this issue is resolved. Seconded by
an Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

table. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all
voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 4 1993 PAGE 6
Ms. Dacy stated that this variance consists of two parts: to
reduce the front yard setback and to construct a single car garage
when a two car garage is required. She stated that there is a
single family home on the property, and the petitioner wants to
construct a one car garage.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Appeals Commission unanimously recommended
approval of the encroachment portion of the variance but denied
the variance for a one car garage.
Ms. Rosenberg, the petitioner, stated that the home is very narrow,
and constructing a two car garage would make it seem out of
proportion. She stated that about 20 percent of the homes in the
area do not have a garage; 25 percent have a one car garage; and
55 percent have a two car garage. She stated that if a two car
garage was constructed, it would be located very close to the home
and block out the daylight. She stated that if a two car garage
was constructed to the rear of the property, it would mean a
100 foot driveway, and this. expense would not. be economically
feasible.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked. Ms.. Rosenberg if -she intended this
home to be her residence.
Ms. Rosenberg stated that one of her 'children . may live there or
else .she would sell or rent it.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the problem is that persons
often have more than one vehicle per household and may need the
additional space for another vehicle or for storage.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked Ms. Rosenberg if she anticipated that
there may be an addition to the home in the future.
Ms. Rosenberg stated that she doubted there would be an addition,.
as. there have been several additions -since it was originally
constructed.
Councilman Schneider asked Ms. Rosenberg if she was aware that a
double car garage was required when she purchased this home.
Ms. Rosenberg stated that she was not aware that a double car
garage would be required.
Councilman Billings stated that the goals and objectives of the
City is to provide two car garages, and it is probably in the best
interests of the City that the variance for the one car garage be
denied.
Councilwoman Jorgenson suggested that perhaps a longer period of
time could be given for the owner to provide a hard surface
driveway to ease the financial burden. She asked if the City could
0 - 0
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 1993 PAGE 7
require the property owner to construct a garage if there was not
one on the property when she purchased it.
Mr. Herrick stated that the City can require a double car garage,
but if the variance request for a single car garage is denied and
the property owner chooses not to build any garage, he would have
to check further to determine if the City can require that a garage
be constructed.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendation
of the Appeals Commission and grant that portion of Variance
Request, VAR #93-24, to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet
to 22 feet and deny that portion of the variance to allow
construction of a single car garage when a two car garage is
required. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote,
Councilman Schneider, Councilman Billings, and Mayor Nee voted in
favor of the motion. Councilwoman Jorgenson voted against the
motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion.carried.

A. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Wish to 'mirror' front of house for a balanced look."
B: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Request
The petitioner requests two variances:
1. To reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 22 feet
2. To allow construction of a single car garage when a two -
car garage is required
The request is for 71 - 63 1/2 Way N.E.
Site
Located on the subject parcel is a single family dwelling unit
and a "garage" which was originally used as a chicken coop.
The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are all
adjacent properties.
Analysis
Section 205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires
a front yard setback of not less than 35 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-
street parking without encroaching on the public right-of-way
and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the building
"line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard.
The petitioner is proposing to add a small portico to the
front entry of the dwelling unit. The portico is 6 feet by
8 feet. The proposed addition is well outside the required
front yard setback area. The petitioner has requested that
the existing encroachment be addressed by the Appeals
Commission. The location of the dwelling as it exists does
not adve sely impact adjacent properties. There is adequate
sight didtance from adjacent properties and from the driveway.
Section 205.07.05.B.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires
that all lots having a minimum lot area of 9,000 square feet
shall have a double car garage.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide
adequate off-street parking and storage of vehicles and
materials which would otherwise cause visual pollution.

Page 2
The second variance request is to allow the construction of
a single car garage when a two -car garage is required. The
existing "garage" or chicken coop is located on the side lot
line in the rear yard. As it is not structurally sound, the
petitioner is proposing to remove this existing structure and
construct a new garage closer to the front of the yard. This
will create a usable rear yard and provide a separation of
"public" and "private" space.
There is adequate room on site to construct a two -car garage.
The petitioner has proposed to locate the garage 16 feet from
the side (west) lot line. This would provide adequate room
between the proposed garage and the side lot line if the
petitioner or a future property owner chooses to expand the
garage. The location of the proposed garage meets the minimum
setback requirements for the front yard and side yard.
Adequate off-street parking would be provided with the
proposed driveway.
If the Commission chooses to approve the variance request to
allow a single car garage, staff recommends that the following
stipulations be a condition of approval:
1. The petitioner shall provide a hard surface driveway
by September 1, 1994.
2. The existing structure shall be removed within 60
days of completion of the proposed garage.
Appeals Commission Action
The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to approve the
variance request to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet
to 22 feet. The Commission voted unanimously to deny the
variance request to construct a single car garage.
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals
Commission action.

Per Section 205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to
reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 22 feet to
correct an existing encroachment;
Per Section 205.07.05.8.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to
allow the construction of a single car garage when a two -car
garage is required;
On Lots 19-20, Block 15, Fridley Park Addition, the same being

MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded by Dr. Vos, to waive the reading of
the public hearing notice and open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:19 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated this property is located between East River
Road and the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks south of
Mississippi Street. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family
Dwelling, as are all adjacent properties.
Ms. McPherson stated that a single.family dwelling unit is located
on the property. A garage which was originally a chicken coop has
been removed from the property by the petitioner.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is proposing to add a 6 ft. by
8 ft. entry addition to the front of the dwelling and to construct
a single car garage.
Ms. McPherson stated the first variance request is to address the
existing front yard encroachment which reduces the front yard
setback from 35 feet to 22 feet. The proposed addition is well
outside.the setback requirement of 35 feet. The petitioner has
asked that the existing encroachment be addressed. The existing
location of the dwelling unit does not adversely impact adjacent
properties, and there is adequate sight distance from the adjacent
structures to the street.
Ms. McPherson stated the second variance is to allow the
construction of a single car garage when a two -car garage is
required by code. The garage which was originally a chicken coop
has been removed from the property. The petitioner is proposing
to locate the new garage at the front setback line which would
provide a separation between the front yard and rear yard and
provide a separation of "public" and "private" space. There is
4W
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. SEPTEMBER 14, 1993 PAGE 6
adequate room on the site to construct a two -car garage and the
petitioner is leaving adequate room between the proposed garage
and the westerly lot line in which to expand the garage if the
variance is not granted by the Appeals Commission and City Council.
Ms. McPherson stated the location of the garage meets the minimum
setback requirements and would not adversely impact the adjacent
properties. There is also adequate off-street parking with the
proposed driveway to meet the minimum parking requirements.
Ms. McPherson stated that if the Appeals Commission chooses to
grant the variance request to allow the single car garage, staff
has one stipulation:
1. The petitioner shall provide a hard surface driveway by
September 1, 1994.
Ms. Cecelia Rosenberg stated the existing house is very long and
narrow so all that is seen from the street is the 14 foot wide
front. If a double car garage is constructed, it will not be in
proportion with the house as there will be a huge garage and a
little house. So, her main reason for the single car garage is
for aesthetic reasons, to give the property a "planned" look. She
wants to keep the look of the property as balanced as possible.
A single car garage also makes sense financially. A double car
garage could possibly over -price the property.
Dr. Vos stated one of the reasons the code requires a double car
garage is for the inside storage of vehicles and materials. Is
there adequate room on the property for the inside storage of
materials?
Ms. Rosenberg stated there is a full basement under the house, and
she only has one car.
Ms. Savage asked about the marketability of the house with a single
car garage. She stated that most people want a double car garage.
Ms. Rosenberg stated that she has looked at other houses in the
area. The homes across the street have no garages. Approximately
25% of the homes have single car garages, either detached or
attached, approximately 25% of the homes have no garages, and the
rest have double car garages, so it is a real mixed bag in -this
area. She did not think there would a proper selling price for the
house if a double car garage has to be added.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Ms. Smith, to close the public
hearing.

MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Smith, to recommend approval of
variance, VAR #93-24, by Cecelia Rosenberg, per Section
205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the front
yard setback from 35 feet to 22 feet to correct an existing
encroachment on Lots 19-20, Block 15, Fridley Park Addition, the
same being 71 - 63 1/2 Way N.E.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Kuechle stated that regarding the second variance for a single
car garage, he would recommend denial for following reasons:
1. He believes the requirement for a double car garage is
a good one and only in exceptional cases should they
deviate from that requirement. In this case, there is
enough room for a double car.garage.
2. There is somewhat of a hardship in the additional cost
involved in going from a single car garage to a double
car garage. In this case, the additional cost should not
be extravagant because it would only be about a 40%
Increase in square footage, so the increase in cost
should be less than 40%. He believed most of that added
cost could be recovered in the sale of the property.
3. As far as the aesthetic considerations, placing the
garage closer to the house might help the visual
association. He understood the petitioner's concern
about the house being very narrow and the double car
garage looking much larger in perspective, but he did
believe something could be done with the placement of the
garage to alleviate some of that concern.
Dr. Vos agreed that other options are available to reposition the
garage on the property to lessen the visual impact. He believed
that if the garage is positioned differently, the petitioner might
find that a double car garage is an asset rather than a liability.
He would also recommend denial for the single car garage.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Dr. Vos, to recommend to City
Council denial of variance, VAR #93-24, by Cecelia Rosenberg, per
Section 205.07.05.B.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to allow the
construction of a single car garage when a two -car garage is
required on Lots 19-20, Block 15, Fridley Park Addition, the same
being 71 - 63 1/2 Way N.E.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE

Ms. McPherson stated this will go to the City Council on September
