E. VAR #87-10 A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.3, D. 3a, requires a rear yard with a depth of not less than 25 percent of the lot depth, and not less than 25 feet permitted or more than 40 feet required for the main building. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood. B. SMTED HARDSHIP: Please see attached descriptions of hardships. C. AUKINISZRATIVE SMkFF REVIEW: 9iis house faces the side street. ![he new garage is in the rear of the lot. Also, adjacent to the rear lot line is a city park. 9ie request has been reviewed by the City Parks Department and would have no objection to this request. If approved, staff recommends that no windows be placed in the west wall. Specific Hardships: We need more space on our main floor. We no -ed a bedroom or den or office or combination thereof, because we have NO private place, any longer, for our aging parents and relatives, who depend upon our home for a temporary place to stay or a stop over place on their way to the hospital. It was just fine when they were younger because we housed them in our basement. Now, they cannot walk the stairs to the bathroom. We have one bathroom and that is on the main level. From August, 1985 through January 4th, 1986, the date he passed away, my 82 year old father was living with us until we were able to put him in a nursing home (December, 1985). He had to stay on the main floor in my daughter's room and we moved all of her things downstairs, which kept us in turmoil, since we have only the one bathroom. Now we have my husband's 86 year old mother fzzm northern Minnesota, (4 hours away), who has to visit the University Hospitals, periodically, and stay with us on the main floor of our home, because of her arthritic condition, she cannot climb the stairs. At the same time, my 74year old aunt has osteoporosis and is from the same northern Minnesota town (4 hours away) has to stop here on her way to the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where she was hospitalized to have her hip ball changed. She used to be on a cane and now she is in a wheel chair. Our bedroom -hall area is too small for her to move about in this wheel chair. Our kitchen is small (10 ft. X 11 ft.). When we are "four" we manage to fit at our table in the kitchen just fine. With five or six people and a wheel chair we must move to the diningroom. The diningroom ( 9 ft. X 10 ft.) is too small. IF WE PUT THE ADDITION ON THE DININGROOM WOULD BE EXTENDED 8 feet and we could turn the table the other way -and manage quite well. We have four cars and try to keep them in the driveway. Our daughter and son each have their car parked in the driveway. With the driveway being moved over, we would also keep half of the present driveway for their cars. If we can move our den from the basement and all of the file cabinets to this extended room upstairs, we would be able to put a bathroom downstairs in that present area of the den -office. Our son attends a local college and lives at home. Our daughter attends a college out of state, but will be living at home beginning this May, because she is transferring to a local college and will be living at home, again.

We need a bedroom or den or office or combination thereof, because we have NO private place any longer for our aging parents and relatives who depend upon our home for a temporary place to stay or a stop -over place on their way to the hospital. It was just fine when they were younger because we housed them in our basement. Now, they cannot walk the stairs to the bathroom. We have one bathroom and that is on the main level.

ADHININISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: This house faces the side street. The Yiew garage is in the rear of the lot. Also, adjacent to the rear lot line is a city park. The request has been reviewed by the City Parks Department and they would have no objection to this request. If approved, Staff recommends that no windows be placed in the west wall. Mr. Clark stated the petitioner would like to convert his existing garage to living space and add a two -car garage toward the park, resulting in a 4.5 ft. setback to the west property line. The park was a passive park. There was some play- ground equipment, but no athletic functions. There might be children or adults playing Frisbee or Jarts or something like that, and that was the reason for the stipulation of no windows in the west wall. Mr. Clark stated they get into the semantics of whether this was really the side yard or the rear yard. The legal front of the °lb-t.was the short side of the lot when it is a corner lot, so the front yard was on'itice Creek Blvd. and the garage would be built in the rear yard. If this was'the side yard, then the garage could be built within 5 ft. of the property line. With the house across the street, because of the shape of the lot, it was the side yard. Mr. Krall stated the main reason for their request was they need more floor space. Mr. Barna stated be felt the .variance was created by the way the house faces on. the .lot. WTION BY MS. SAVAGE, SECONDED BY MR. SHEREK, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE -CHAIRPERSON BARNA DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M. 14r: Sherek stated he felt this was a good plan. If the designation of the front and side yards were more appropriate, there would be no problem. There A APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 14, 1987 PAGE 10 would be no distractions from the appearance of the neighborhood, so he felt the spirit of the code was.being met, and he would vote in favor of the variance. Ms Savage stated she agreed that the spirit of the code was being met because of the park being next to the proposed addition. She would vote in favor of granting the variance. Dr. Vos stated he had no problem with this variance as requested. Mr. Barna stated he agreed with the other Commissioners. If they took the technicality of the narrow side of the lot being the front of the lot, and allowed the front of the house to be the front of the house, they would then have a side yard which was required at 5 ft, and only a 1/2 ft. variance would be needed.
