ADKINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
1315 66th Avenue N.E.
section 205.153, 2, requires that in areas with setbacks greater than
the minimum, the average of the setbacks for buildings within 100
feet on either side shall prevail, with a deviation allowed of six
feet more or less.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to insure that any new
structures do not greatly impede the front yard "line of sight" for
the existing house sites.

"Only side that faces south to build a sun porch and green house."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIMF:
66th Avenue is a 66 foot right of way with a 12 foot boulevard.
Therefore, the proposed sun porch will not appear to be abnormally
close to the street, however the neighbor's house and others are set
back in line with the present house.
If the Appeals Commission does approve this variance, the staff has
no suggested stipulations.

C. STAFF REVIEW:
Appeals Commission Meeting - August 24, 1982 Page 10
Mr. Clark showed the Commission the proposed plans and Mr. Kramber explained that
he wished to build an office building for his chiropractic practice and wants to
rent the basement. He stated all the setbacks and greenery will be to code and
he will only need 10 parking spots. Ms. Gabel asked about the other lots in the
area that are for sale. Mr. 6ramber said they are being sold. Ms. Gabel asked
if they are the same size and he stated yes and Mr. Plemel asked if this was all
commercial and Mr. Clark stated they are C-2. Mr. Kramber said it will be a very
nice looking building, the basement will have plenty of windows, 28 by 44 square
feet. He said he does not have a renter for the basement yet. He stated the
building will be compatible with the other buildings in the area, stucco with cedar
trim, it will fit right into the neighborhood. His mother has talked to the people
at Sandee's and they have no objections to these plans as these lots have been vacant
for so long. He stated the building will be "house height" and he has no problems
with the City with the landscaping. Mrs. Mech, 1315 -66th Street N.E., asked about
parking. Mr. Kramber explained that parking is no problem and getting in and out
will be no problem and he pointed out that the lots are unbuildable without a
variance. Ms. Gabel asked when he would start construction. Mr. Kramber said in
October, that he is trying to get out of a lease H ght now, he will close on the
land on September 15th and wants to be in by Christmas.
Ms. Gabel asked if he understood the sidewalk easement and he stated he did and
asked if that would cause him any problems. Mr. Clark said it wouldn't and that
the county would possibly want the 15 feet and to make sure the shrubbery is planted
off that.
MOTION by Mrs. Gerou, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to close the public hearing. UPON A
VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
AT 9:40 P.M.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, that the Appeals Commission recommend
to the City Council, through the Planning Commission, approval of the request to
reduce the required lot size from 20,000 square feet to 13,800 square feet or the
lot width from 160 square feet to 83 square feet to allow the construction of a
44 foot by 28 foot office building, located on Lot 5, Block 1, Erco's Addition,
the same being 1299 Mississippe Street, N.E., Fridley, Minnesota, 55432, with the
stipulation that a 15 foot easement shall be dedicated along the south (Mississippi
Street) for future street widening and bike-way/walkway construction.
(The Commission felt this was a reasonable request as you cannot build on these lots
without a variance and they would like to see something happening in this area).

Since this proposed building and use need no other variances, we see

Mrs. Betty Mech was present. Ms. Gabel stated that the hardship was pretty vague.
Mrs. Mech showed the Commission her plans. She stated that it will not look like
a greenouse, it will look like a sunporch, with glass panes and heavy beams and
that visually it won't make much of an impact; that she is tired of the way it looks
now and wants to enlarge it. Ms. Gabel asked about the roof line. Mrs. Mech said
it will come off the roof at a slight slope and the doors will be 7 feet high, with
a wooden catwalk about 18" wide around the whole thing for washing the windows and
it will be heated and be used all year round. Ms. Gabel asked what it would look
like from the outside. She said it will be glass and beams. Mr. Plemel asked who
would be doing the work. Mrs. Mech said they will hire a contractor. Ms. Gabel
stated the plans look nice and asked about drainage and running water. Mrs. Mech
said they will have running water and have a drain go to the outside. She also
said her neighbor to the south, Ed Simko, called and said he had no ob'ections
Ms. Gabel asked how soon she would do this and Mrs. Mech said that would depend
on whether or not they put in a well first and they may have to wait until next year.
