Item #1, June 23, 1981
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
1604 - 66th Avenue N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.053, 4A, 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.
Section 205.053, 4B, #5b, requires an accessory building which open onto
the side street of a corner lot to be setback a minimiun of 25 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street
parking without encroaching on the public right of way and also the
aesthetic consideration of the neighborhood to reduce the building "line
of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard.
Section 205.053, 4C, requi.resa rear yard depth of not less than 25 percent
of the lot depth with a minimum of 25 feet and no more than 40 feet required.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Front footage (.side yard) is not deep enough with the contemplated
addition to the existing house; which includes a two car garage and a
three season porch. A -n, offset of 6 feet to the north line is asked
for in order to give a moderate break to this front line."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
This lot is on the southwest corner of McKinley Street and 66th Avenue.
The front of the lot is technically on McKinley Street even though the
existing house faces 66th Avenue. The front yard variance from 35 feet
to 20.1 feet is only to make the existing house placement legal as it
was built too close to the front property line*
The proposed garage and porch addition will be added onto the west side
of the dwelling but will require a rear yard variance from 34.3 feet to
21.3 feet. The dwelling on the lot adjoining the back yard is setback
approximately 50 feet from the common property line.
Staff has no recommended stipulations should the Board decide to grant
these variances.

Section 205.053, 4C, require a rear yard depth of not less than 25 percent

B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Front footage (side yard) is not deep enough with the contemplated
addition to the existing house; which includes a two car garage and a
three season porch. An offset of 6 feet to the north line is asked
for in order to give a moderate break to this front line."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
This lot is on the southwest corner of McKinley Street and 66th Avenue.
The front of the lot is technically on McKinley Street even though the
existing house faces 66th Avenue. The front yard variance from 35 feet
to 20.1 feet is only to make the existing house placement legal as it
was built too close to the front property line.
The proposed garage and porch addition will be added onto the west side
of the dwelling but will require a rear yard variance from 34.3 feet to
21.3 feet. The dwelling on the lot adjoining the back yard is setback
approximately 50 feet from the common property line.
Staff has no recommended stipulations should the Board decide to grant
these variances.
Mr. Moxness and Mr. Berg showed the commission drawings of the proposed porch
and garage. Mr. Plemel noted that the front of the lot is McKinley and the
garage is facing the side street, which is 66th. Mr. Moxness explained that the
garage they have now is a single garage and they want to make that into a
dining and recreation area and between that, a three -season porch (screened),
12 feet wide and then 24 foot garage. He said they are going to have a base-
ment under the existing garage and three -season porch. Mrs. Gabel asked if
he considered jogging it back the other way, towards the back of the lot and
.Mr. Moxness felt it was too narrow. Mr. Plemel said it looks like a short
Back yard and asked if the fence was his and Mr. Moxness said it was his neighbor's.
Chairwoman Gabel asked if he was going to use fill and Mr. Berg said yes,
that they will use what they dig out for fill. Chairwoman Gabel introduced
three letters from Mr. Moxness' neighbors in favor of the variances. MOTION by
Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Barna, to receive the three letters in favor of the
variances from Mr. Moxness' neighbors. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE,
CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Appeals Commission Meeting - June 23, 1981 Page 3
Chairwoman Gabel asked what is meant by a "Boston Ridge" and Mr. Berg explained
it a way to put shingles on so they are sealed. Chairwoman Gabel asked who is
going to be doing the work and Mr. Moxness said they do not have all the bids
on this yet. She asked if he would be doing any of the work himself and if
he was going to have the same type of siding. Mr. Moxness said he is not real
handy and that they will stay with the same masonite siding; it will match.
Chairwoman Gabel asked Mr. Moxness ,if the existing garage is a one -car garage -
and how many drivers they have in his house. Mr. Moxness said it is a very
small one -car garage and just he and his wife drive. Chairwoman Gabel asked
if the three -season porch is something for his enjoyment and Mr. Moxness said
essentially it was but there might be some solar heating eventually. Mr. Barna
noted that he is facing the right direction for solar heating and suggested
he use triple -glaze glass and have the attic insulated and that the cost of the
glass is not that much more. Mr. Moxness said they are not specifically planning
solar heating -but would like to pull that in.
Chairwoman Gabel thought it a good idea that the driveway will actually be
farther away from the corner than it is now. Mr. Barna said he would like more
clarification on the hardship as stated in the Staff Report. Mr. Moxness said
his wife would like a dining room and they have no storage space for bicycles,
lawn mowers, wagons, the grill, and the freezer; the present garage is used
solely for that. They want a large enough garage for the cars and storage of
those items. He said the screened porch was highly recommended because of mos-
quitoes and they don't have any private place outdoors and, with this porch,
they could get some fresh air and privacy. Chairwoman Gabel noted that the
back yard is too small for a deck, especially with the incline. MOTION by
Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Barna, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE
VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE,CHAIRWOMAN GABEL CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:55 P.M.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Barna, to grant the variance requests to
reduce the front yard setback from the required 35 feet to 20.1 feet (existing)
and reduce the rear yard from 34.3 feet (25% of lot depth) to 21.3 feet, and
reduce the side yard setback for a garage opening on a side street from 25 feet
to 24 feet to allow the construction of an attached 12 foot by 30 foot porch
and a 24 foot by 30 foot garage, all located on Lot 1, Block 2, Clark's Addition,
the same being 1604 - 66th Avenue N.E., Fridley, Minnesota 55432. UPON A VOICE
VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
OTHER BUSINESS:
A copy of page 7021, Minnesota Statutes, was included with the commission agenda
packet. Chairwoman Gabel wanted the commission to note the last sentence of
the first paragraph, " The board of adjustment may impose conditions in the
granting of variances to insure compliance and to protect adjacent properties
and the public interest. The board of adjustment may consider the inability
to use solar energy systems a "hardship" in the granting of variances.
Mr. Barna felt the wording was slightly confusing and Chairwoman Gabel felt it
was ambiguous and Mr. Plemel asked if board of appeals has considered board of
adjustment and she said yes they have. Mr. Barna felt it would make more sense
if it stated desire instead of inability. Mr. Clark felt inability would mean
if someone has only the front yard left to put it in.
