Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. 1. A REQUEST FOR VARIANCES OF: SECTION 205.054, 2B, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM FIRST FLOOR AREA, FROM 768 SQUARE FEET TO 676 SQUARE FEET, AND, SECTION 205.053, 1, TO REDUCE THE MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE OF A LOT PLATTED AFTER 1955 FROM 9,000 SQUARE FEET to 8820 SQUARE FEET, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DWELLING AND GARAGE TO BE LOCATED ON LOT 1, BLOCK 1, OUIMETTE TERRACE, THE SAME BEING 1641 MCKINLEY (76th AVENUE) STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY MR. HENRY D. POLASKI, 1412 - 27TH AVENUE N.E., MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.) MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to waive reading the public hearing notice. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Polaski came forward to present his request. The plot plan was shown to the Board. Mr. Mattson explained to the Board that the plat of Ouimette Terrace, with its slightly undersized lots was more or less sanctioned by the City because they would have had wasted space otherwise. Mrs. Gabel asked to see the house plans. Mr. Polaski showed the Board the plans for a Capp home style "The Clairmont", a two story 26 foot square house with attached double car garage. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if the plans had been cut down in size. Mr. Polaski said they had not. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if he had thought of enlarging the house. Mr. Polaski said he had asked the Capp Home people about that and they told him it would cost a thousand dollars to add a couple of feet. Mr. Mattson explained that it would take an extra 4 feet of length to the house to bring it above the required minimum code requirement of 768 square feet for the first floor of a two story house. Mr. Drigans asked what the commercial value of the house would be. Mr. Polaski said 35 to 40 thousand and that they would be paying about 24 thousand unfinished. Mr. Polaski said they had an option on a 15 year mortgage from Capp Homes. Mr. Drigans asked what the maximum lot coverage is in an R-1 District. Mr. Mattson said 25% and that even with the reduced lot size in this case, lot coverage is not a problem, nor would it be exceeded were the house up to code size. Mr. Drigans said that with the reduced lot size he thought the house size could be reduced also. Mrs. Wahlberg asked about a smaller garage to offset the cost of a larger house. Mr. Drigans said that he thought adding on one end and taking off the other end of this house would adversely alter the appearance and balance of the design. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Drigans said that he would be inclined to go along with this plan. Mrs. Wahlberg said that she felt the 768 square feet required in the Code is small already and that it does not seem unreasonable to ask for compliance, in this case particularly since there was no problem with the lot size. Mrs. Wahlberg Page 2 The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee Meeting of September 10, 1974 also said that the setting of a precedent in an area with several undeveloped lots was asking for more requests to build undersized houses. Mr. Drigans wished to have a drawing of the "Clairmont" model entered as Exhibit "A". MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Drigans, to recommend to the City Council, approval of the variances with the stipulation that the "Clairmont" plan as presented by Mr. Polaski and specified as Exhibit "A" by in fact the one to be built without alteration. Upon a voice vote, Wahlberg voting nay, the motion carried. 2. A REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO ERECT A 100 S2UARE FOOT WALL SIGN (COUNCIL MINUTES OF APRIL 3, 1972 STIPULATED WALI. SIGNS TO BE TAKEN OFF BUILDING) TO BE LOCATED ON LOT 1, BLOCK 1, EAST RANCH ESTATES 1ST ADDITION, THE SAME BEING 7620 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY FRANK'S NURSERY, 7620 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.) MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Drigans, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Jack Lawrence of Signcrafters, Inc., came forward to present the request.. Mr. Lawrence explained that the sign they wanted to erect for Frank's Nursery was not oversized or otherwise against Code. He said that the Council stipulation that wall signs be removed from this building (Council minutes of April 3, 1972) had referred to the building under different ownership and occupancy status and that requests by Frank's Nursery should be considered as separate items. This brought about a discussion of the history of the requests for signs by Bob's Produce Ranch. Mr. Drigans reminded Mr. Lawrence that the signs on the pylon identifying Bob's Produce and Frank's Nursery were to have come down long ago as per a previous stipulation but they are still there. Mr. Lawrence admitted he had been slow in removing these signs but he had wanted to do all the work at once and they had been delayed by a wait for plastic to be used in the Frank's Nursery pylon sign. Mr. Lawrence stated that he would have the signs in question removed within a day or two. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Drigans said that he would go along with the request but that all signs scheduled to come down must come down before any new signs go up. MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Gabel, to recommend to the City Council, approval of the request with the stipulation that the two identity signs on the large pylon be removed within 24 hours. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried. 3. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 205.053, 4C, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO REDUCE THE REAR YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT FROM 25 FEET TO 13 FEET TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION ONTO AN EXISTING STRUCTURE LOCATED ON THE SE4 OF THE SA OF SECTION 11, EXCEPT THE NORTH 50 FEET LYING WEST OF THE EAST 150 FEET THEREOF, AND ALSO EXCEPTING TIIE SOUTH 400 FEET THEREOF: SUBJECT TO HIGHWAY EASEMENT ALONG THE WESTERLY SIDE THEREOF AND EXCEPT PARCEL 6620 AND SUGJECT TO ROAD EASEMENT, THE SAME BEING 7011 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.
