E. Fridley, Minnesota 55432 ATT: William A. Drigans, Chairman Board of Appeals Dear Sir: Subject: Request by Meridian Corporation for Variances The undersigned is the attorney for, general partner of and developer of the Meadow Run Apartments adjoining the premises in question. Please be advised that Five Sands Development Company does object to the granting of any of these variances. I will be at the meeting at 7:30 P. M. on Tuesday, May 13, 1975, to more clearly express our position in that regard. The setback requirements in the instant case are not only for asthetic purpose but for safety purposes. Reducing the setback on 79th or along East River Road would impair vision and increase the likelihood of auto- mobile or pedestrian mishaps. I personally believe that variances are not in order unless the petitioner can show a high degree of hardship or, in the alternative, a very unusual sized lot or, in the alternative, a very peculiar purpose suited to pub- lic needs. I do not believe that the subject fits into any of these categories. Certainly if the proposed building is being built for "specu- lation", it would be difficult to imagine the kind of hardship which would support the granting of any variances whatsoever.

Anyone who desires to be heard with reference to the above matter will be heard at this meeting. **FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION VIRGINIA SCHNABEL CHAIRWOMAN. APPEALS COMMISSION 2 Item #2 3/15/77 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 7899 East River Road N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.103, 4, A2 (Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3) requiring an 80 foot setback from the main structure to any public right of way. Public purpose served is to provide for adequate parking and open landscaped areas as well as to congestion and provide adequate site clearances in commercial areas. Section 205.103, 4, B, requiring a side yard setback of 15 feet from a common property line. Public purpose served is to provide for adequate open areas around structures and clear access for fire fighting and to reduce the conflagration of fire. Section 205.104, 1, E, prohibiting parking in commercial areas within any portion of the required 20 foot front yard. Public purpose served is to limit visual encroachment into neighborhing sight lines and to allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas adjacent to public right of ways. Section 205.103, 4, C,2 requiring a rear yard setback of 25 feet. Public purpose served is to provide adequate access for fire fighting and again to limit threats from conflagration of fire. Section 205.103, 6B, requiring a minimum set back of 50 feet from a common boundary line of neighborhing property which is zoned other than commercial. Public purpose served is to provide adequate open "buffer" areas between zoning districts for aesthetic and development reasons. B. STATED HARDSHIP: Due to street setback requirements on three sides, the building area available is only about 4% (1,825 swuare feet) of the total site area of about 42,226 square feet. This an extremely low coverage figure. In addition, the angled geometry of the property makes for an unusual configuation if the site is to be utilitzed properly or to its even small building maximum. We hereby apply for a variance to build to the size and configuation show on the enclosed drawing. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW The property in question was zoned as R-3 when the original zoning ordinance was adopted in 1956. In 1960 it was rezoned to C-2S'(general shopping areas). Several subsequent proposals, including a filling stateion, were submitted and either denied or withdrawn. A similar request to this one, was approved by the Administrative Staff Review of 7899 East River Road N.E. Page 2 Board of Appeals on May 13, 1975. It was approved by the City Council as well. Because no further action was taken and no building permit issued, the approved variances have lapsed. The unusaly circumstances of this corner property being bounded on three of four sides by public right of way extremely limits the available building area. The proposed building of 7,008 square feet (compared to 5,200 square feet in the Meridian Corporation request in 1975) will apparently house a 7-11 Store with the remainder as office space. (The 1975 request included a coin operated laundry). The building will cover approximately 17% of the lot. No plans are on file for the original 1975 request. A list of the stipulations which Council imposed on the 1975 request by Meridian Corporation have been included as a reference. Please note that the request for the petitioner to petition Council for a rezoning from C -2S (general shopping areas) to C-1 (local shopping areas) would reduce the setback requirments from 80 feet to 35 feet off 79th Avenue and East River Road. A Bond, covering the costs of all stipulated improvements, will be required. In addition, all necessary and proper right of ways, easements and letters of encroachment should be submitted and recorded prior to the issuance of any building permits. OW PLANNING DIVISION MEMORANDUM G7YOF FRIDLEY MEMO TO: Jim Robinson, Planning Coordinator Jock Robertson, Community Development Coordinator City Council Members MEMD FROM: Kathlyn Castle, Planning Assistant RDGARDING: Riverboat Shopping Center Comprehensive Sign Plan MID DATE: March 23, 1988 BACKGRGU AD Mr. Walter IC1us, owner of Riverboat Shopping Center, came before the City Council on March 7, 1988, to appeal the Council's decision on the Center's Comprehensive Sign Plan. This decision approved the plan with two stipulations. The first was that the readerboard be deleted from the sign plan because it is considered a temporary and not a permanent sign. The second stipulation stated that future sign permit approval be based on the implementation of the landscape plan. Council decided that the landscape stipulation should be deleted as a part of the approved plan since it had no relevance to signage. Council also decided that Mr. Klus must comply with the Sign Ordinance regulations by removing the permanently installed readerboard. Staff has worked with Mr. Klus for the past three weeks on completing these items. REOOM ENDATION Staff recommends that our ordinance. The si three times per year portapanel has been approximately 90 days temporary sign for up 120 days left in the recommending that each the readerboard be regulated as a temporary sign as per gn ordinance states that temporary signs are allowed per business for nonconsecutive 10 day periods. This used by the shopping centers seven businesses for this year. As a whole, the shopping center could use a to 210 days per year. Therefore there are approximately year for a permitted temporary sign. Staff is tenant be allowed to use a temporary sign two more tunes this year for nonconsecutive actually portable staff feels the state by April 15, 1988. Request legal action to secure oompl ianoe 10 day periods. In order to make the sign sign should be removed f rom its implanted Council direct staff to take the appropriate with the above outlined course of action. Staff also discussed two landscape options with Mr. Klus. The first is to implement the present landscape plan which was approved in 1978. The second is to implement a landscape plan which was designed by the City Landscape Architect. Mr. Klus stated that he will have bids on each plan and determine which will be implemented.
