Fridley, M 55432 Dear Mr. Arneson: I am writing to you to explain the stop -work order that was delivered to your residence last Friday afternoon. we attempted to phone you then and again this morning, but no one answered. Upon review of the lot survey by Suburban Engineering that you dropped off last Friday when you picked up your building permit, the staff discovered a discrepancy in the existing side yard dimensions. The sketch that you submitted for the Appeals Commission variance shows a four foot side yard. But the lot survey dated September 18, 1984 appears to indicate a side yard decreasing from 3.7 feet dawn to to 3.1 feet. abe Appeals CcumUssion issued you a side yard variance on June 24, 1986 for the four feet you requested. You now have two options. First, if you wish to proceed immediately with building the garage extension, you must respect the four foot setback which you were granted. Ibis may require an off -set in the garage exterior according to the lot survey. Or second, if you wish to build the extension without such an of f -set, you reed a variance for a smaller side yard setback to acoomodate that extension according to the said lot survey. Please contact the Community Development Department as soon as possible and let us know how you wish to proceed. Z have taken the liberty of putting this on the agenda for the next Appeals Commission meeting which is scheduled for July 15, 1986, in order to expedite the process if you choose to proceed with the second option. Again, please contact myself or Debbie Mootz as soon as possible so that we may assist you in this matter.

VAR #86-15 A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.3, D, 2b, requires a side yard of five (5) feet between an attached accessory building or use and side property lines. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide space between individual structures to reduce conflagration of fire, to provide access to the rear yard for emergencies and to limit the condition of crowding in the residential neighborhood. "I intend to build in line with existing garage, which is also 4' from the east property line". C. ADMINISMATWE STAFF REVIEW: The petitioner presently has a 21' x 20' garage built 4' off the east lot line. The house and garage was reconstructed in 1965. The present garage is 2' into a 6' drainage and utility easement. All the utility companies and the City granted the 2' encroachment. At that time the petitioner has repetitioned the utility companies for the addition which they have granted. The house to the east is 10 feet from the common lot line and is constructed in front where this addition would take place. If the Board recommends approval the Staff has no stipulations to recommend. The petitioner may want to petition to have the westerly 2' of the 6' easement vacated. ulb ,.,10 loW.lost j • •� i so - w �-� �,.

BARNA, SECONDED BY MS. SAVAGF, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 9:04 P.M. Chairperson Betzold read the Administrative Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 953 - 68TH AVENUE N.E. VAR 186-15 A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.3, D, 2b requires a side yard of five (5) feet between an attached accessory building or use and side property lines. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide space between individual structures to reduce conflagration of .fire, to provide access to the rear yard for emergencies and to limit the condition of crowding in the residential neighborhood. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "I intend to build in line with existing garage, which is also 4 ft. from the east property line." C. ADMININSTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The petitioner presently has a 21 ft. x 20 ft. garage built 4 ft. off the east lot line. The house and garage were reconstructed in 1965. The present garage is 2 ft. into a 6 ft. drainage and utility easement. All the utility companies and the City granted the 2 ft. encroachment. At that time the petitioner has repetitioned the utility companies for the addition which they have granted. The house to the east is 10 ft. from the common lot line and is con- structed in front where this addition would take place. If the Board recommends approval, the Staff has no stipulations to recommend. The petitioner might want to petition to have the westerly 2 ft, of the 6 ft, easement vacated. K APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 10 Mr. Clark showed the Commission a picture taken looking at the front of the existing garage and an aerial photo. As pointed out in the staff report, the petitioner has gotten permission from NSP, Minnegasco, and Northwestern Bell to encroach into the easement; and that if this variance is granted, the petitioner might want to petition to have the 2 ft. easement vacated. Mr. David Arneson stated they will keep the proposed garage addition in line with the existing building line which aesthetically is the only thing to do. The garage when originally built was 21 ft. x 20 ft. which only allows two cars with very limited space for additional storage. He would like to add more storage space and working space to the north end of the existing garage. MOTION BY MS. SAVAGE, SECONDED BY MR. BARNA, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:10 P.M. PIs. Savage stated she felt the hardship had been indicated in the inadequacy of storage space and work space. She was impressed with the fact that this was a small variance request, only 1 ft. It was a reasonable request and aesthetically the additional garage space would not encroach into anyone's view. Mr. Barna stated he had no problem with the variance. The hardship was the fact that the house was built needing a 1 ft. variance when it was rebuilt after the 1965 tornado. It was not a hardship created by the petitioner, but an existing hardship. Mr. Betzold agreed. He stated there was an existing structure that probably should not have been built that close to the lot line but it was, and the Commission could not penalize the present owners for mistakes made previously.

Fridley, M 55432 Dear Mr. Arneson: I am writing to you to explain the stop -work order that was delivered to your residence last Friday afternoon. We attempted to phone you then and again this morning, but no one answered. Upon review of the lot survey by Suburban Engineering that you dropped off last Friday when you picked up your building permit, the staff discovered a discrepancy in the existing side yard dimensions. The sketch that you submitted for the Appeals Commission variance shows a four foot side yard. But the lot survey dated September 18, 1984 appears to indicate a side yard decreasing frcm 3.7 feet down to to 3.1 feet. RY,e Appeals Commission issued you a side yard variance on June 24, 1986 for the four feet you requested. You now have two options. First, if you wish to proceed immediately with building the garage extension, you must respect the four foot setback which you were granted. This may require an off -set in the garage exterior according to the lot survey. Or second, if you wish to build the extension without such an off -set, you reed a variance for a smaller side yard setback to acoomodate that extension according to the said lot survey. Please contact the Cmmumity Development Department as soon as possible and let us know how you wish to proceed. I have taken the liberty of putting this on the agenda for the next Appeals C mmd scion meeting which is scheduled for July 15, 1986, in order to expedite the process if you choose to proceed with the second option. Again, please contact myself or Debbie Hootz as soon as possible so that we may assist you in this matter. Sincerely, Jock Robertson GLmmmity Development Director JLi;/dm C-86-279 MD.

SAVAGE, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 9:04 P.M. Chairperson Betzold read the Administrative Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 953 - 69TH AVENUE N.E. VAR P86-15 A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.3, D, 2b requires a side yard of five (5) feet between an attached accessory building or use and side property lines. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide space between individual structures to reduce conflagration of fire, to provide access to the rear yard for emergencies and to limit the condition of crowding in the residential neighborhood. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "I intend to build in line with existing garage, which is also 4 ft. from the east property line." C. ADMININSTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The petitioner presently has a 21 ft. x 20 ft. garage built 4 ft. off the east lot line. The house and garage were reconstructed in 1965. The present garage is 2 ft. into a 6 ft. drainage and utility easement. All the utility companies and the City granted the 2 ft. encroachment. At that time the petitioner has repetitioned the utility companies for the addition which they have granted. The house to the east is 10 ft. from the common lot line and is con- structed in front where this addition would take place. If the Board recommends approval, the Staff has no stipulations to recommend. The petitioner might want to petition to have the westerly 2 ft. of the 6 ft. easement vacated. APPEALS C0141ISSION MEETING, JUNE 249 1986 PAGE 10 Mr. Clark showed the Commission a picture taken looking at the front of the existing garage and an aerial photo. As pointed out in the staff report, the petitioner has gotten permission from NSP, Minnegasco, and Northwestern Bell to -encroach into the easement; and that if this variance is granted, the petitioner might want to petition to have the 2 ft. easement vacated. Mr. David Arneson stated they will keep the proposed garage addition in line with the existing building line which aesthetically is the only thing to do. The garage when originally built was 21 ft. x 20 ft, which only allows two cars with very limited space for additional storage. He would like to add more storage space and working space to the north end of the existing garage. MOTION BY MS. SAVAGE, SECONDED BY MR. BARNA, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE P17BLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:10 P.M. f1s. Savage stated she felt the hardship had been indicated in the inadequacy of storage space and work space. She was impressed with the fact that this was a small variance request, only 1 ft. It was a reasonable request and aesthetically the additional garage space would not encroach into anyone's view. fir. Barna stated he had no problem with the variance. The hardship was the fact that the house was built needing a 1 ft. variance when it was rebuilt after the 1965 tornado. It was not a hardship created by the petitioner, but an existing hardship. Mr. Betzold agreed. He stated there was an existing structure that probably should not have been built that close to the lot line but it was, and the Commission could not penalize the present owners for mistakes made previously.
