Cor,vn�ssion a, mation that was passe�` bv the kppeals Com.�-aission on the bottom of
page 19. She explair.ed the City Cqunci_1 had raised �he fees within the city
r.ecently, and it was the feeling o� t.he memb�rs of the Appeals Cornmission that
on owner-occupied resident3.a1 pro�erties ths p50 fee fror� $1� was E.'XC�SS1V8y
and thought $25 maximwn �would be � sufficient i'ee. She explained that they
asked that• the City Council recon�sider that one feee Mrs. Schnabel said that
to give them an example, at thei� July 27th meeti�,.g they had a request for
a variance of one foot by a prop�rty o�mer. She sai.d it was felt that for that

money. j

they were arrived at accordingita Staff costs� Ne explained that whether the
variance was for one foot or o,k�e hundred feet, the same amount of notices had

costs went. r1rs. Schnabel sa�d the Appeals Commission realized that at the
time. However, she said, the� did feel that on t.hat particular section of
owner-occupied residentia� pr�perties the fee was e.xcessive, and they had no
quarrel :�ith industrial or an�}rthing else. Mr. Boardman added that the fees were
also �omparable to the commur��ty fees.
Mrs. Schnabel said shs wantec� to bring it to the attention of the Planning
Commission as the members of ;the Appeals Commission wanted to express their
feelings on it. Chairperson Harris said it was so noted.

Mr. Boardman explained that this was a request fo�• a special use �ermit for a
??�� X 32' detaciled gara�e. iie said the applicant preserit;ly has an uttaclled
garage to the building, and the �lot that he is on .is £30' X 129� , which made
it about a 10,000 square foot lot. � He stated that i,Y�i� was in the Pl,ymouth �
Addition, and there have been several requests in that area for g�rages of
this size. t�ir. Boardman stated the applicant sai.d he has a.bout five cars, and '
the second accessory building would b� used as a garage. He added that he had �
driven by the property and he had no problem with granting the applicatien.
i�irs. Larnbert stated she had dri.ven by the propert,y and it looked to her like
there were fences and things to the edge on either side of the property, and
asi:ed ho��r they prop�sed to get to the back. P•�r. Sinigaglio replied he would
remove the fence on the North side to get access. He added that his current
barage was on the South sidei and presented the Comriissian with a drawing oi
�
his proposal. He said he had �o plat or surv,y.
I�Sr. Boardman said that as far as setback require:�ents wer,t, P4r. Siniga�lio
would be allr�•red to go down �o three feet on the prop�rty line with a survey,
and without a survey it z�ould be 1�1� feet sei,back. Mr. Sinigagli.o said he
didn't lmo�r where his lot line t�ras, but just took it for granted the telephone
pole kT3S the lot line. Mr. Boardraan inforrr�ed him that he really should ge� a
survey on the property before the garabe taas built in case a mistake was made�
, as it could make a difference in selling the propert�T.

He said he didn't want to s�ll them and they zTere mor.e or 1.ess deteriorating.

He expl��ned ttiey were vintage cars, and this �das hls ho ,�a
explained he couldn't get �.n h�.s present garage because he kept nis snowblower�
table saw, etc. in there� and he needed the e�tra roome P�r. Sir.igaglio said
the garage would be 21t' X 21�', a.nd the last 8' on the Soutli end would be
enclosed lilce a patio or �musement room.
Chairperson Harris a.sked if he was plaraning on hav�ilg utilities in this

P �
which put a breezeway between the house and garage, and that cut down on hls
garage area.
Mrs. Schnabel asked if there .was a limitation or restriction on a secondary
use building as far as combinin� living quarters per se anu garage space. hZr.
Boardman said there was no restriction as to what it was to be used for. Mrso
Schnabel then aslced if sor�eone could then build a sec�ndar3T use building and
use it as livin� quarters. rir. Boardman replied no. Ne explained the code
said an accessory use was something like privately-owned recreational facilities
such as swimming pools, tennis courts, etc., which are for the convenience
of the residents and their guests. Chairperson Iiarris said he thought they
would have a hard time stretching that to living quarters.

property. He stated he noticed that P�Ir. Sinigaglio had a lot of neignbors,
and asked what their general feelin�s were. ?�ir. Siniga.glio replied that his
neighbors on both sides had asked if he had any ulterior motives for building,
but he stated he did not. He said he just wa�ted to get the cars out of the
yard as they were deteriorating, and stated that the neighbors said �hey
didn't care what he did in his bacK yard as long as he didn't put the garage
in the front yard. He stated he didn't believe there were any objections, '
and felt that getting the cars out of si�ht would be an iriprovement.
Mr. Langenfeld asked what his hobb,y was, and Mr. Sinigaglio replied he worved
on the cars he had. He explained that parts yrere difficult to find, and over
the last couple of years he �,Touid buy a bumper here and a gri21 there. He sai.d
he would just leave the caz•s in the garage ar,d ta.ke them out �hen the weather
was nice. Mr. Langenfeld as;�ed if the garage �•:ould be cor�patible with the rest
of t.he house, and 2•1r. Sinigaglio replied it would. He said �t would have
vertical wood like his home and the s�rne roofing, and would essentially look
like a scale model of his house but it wculdn't be as long.
Mrs. Schnabel noted that he did the reconstruction for his o�•n personal benefit,
but asked if he was in the business of doing this type of work for otner people
or doing it tirith the intent of reselling the autamobilies. i•ir. Sinigaglio
replied he was not, and said the cars were just for his oi�^.i use �rhen he felt
like it. He explained he did the work in his otti*n garage now, but would like to
be able to jack up the car and leave it there instead of taking it up and down
. every night.
NIr. Bergman asked if Mr. Sinigaglio hired someone to come in and wark on the
automobiles, and he ai�swered 'r.e did not. NLr. Bergman said he had no other
eoncerns with regard to the general plan and �oncept, but was a little concerned
about the dimensional validity. He stated there was no registered survey of
the lot, and he was not sure that other than ap�roving the concept in general
. there was any more they could do prior to City Council review without verification
or dimensions.
Chairperson Harris stated they could send this on to Council with their
recommendations and stipulations, and one of those stipulations could be that
the petitioner get a surve,y before he goes to City Council. :�`.r. Boardman said
he reatly didn't know if they needed a surv�3� bef'ore they got to Council. tie
explained their main concern was that they don't take up more than 25� of their
lot. .Mr. Harris said he thou�ht it iJould save a lot of time if before this got
to Council there was a survey and a.:ll these things were checked. I�ir. Langenfeld
said he would like to support the suggestion and �omments regarding tne survey,
and added he t�as sure Council would ask Mr. Sinigaglio to do that anyway.
l�fOTION by L2ngenfeld� seconded by Bergman, that the Planning Commission close
the Public Hearing on the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #76-11, by
Joseph Sinigaglio. Upon a voi.ce vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Harris

2�tr. Langenfeld said he t.ended to warit �0 1.2"]C�].C3t.P. "if possible". He said h�
got the feeling they were pushing these people for a survey, and they shauld
have one= but wondered t�hat wo�41d ha.ppen if they coulci,�'t come up with cne
before this went to Council on August 16th. Chairperson Harris said they
could leave it as one of' their stipu.lations, and if the Ci�;y Council wanted
to chan�e that., it was their. prerof ative. ASr. Harris said he would lilce to
recommend that i':�e motion include something about limitaf,ion of the structure
for any futur.e use as a hc,me occupa.�;ion. rir. �ergman said he was open to that
thought, and asked if tliat wasn't adequately covered ir, the present ordinance.
Mr. Boardm�;n said th�at no accessory building could be uscd as home occupation,
but there i•rere some around. I�4r. Harris said thrit some time do�m the line rir.
Sini�aglio ma.y desire to sell his home or get out of the classic car storage
business, �r:� he would like to make it clear to everyone irivolved that the
accessory bu.ilding could not be used as a cabinet shop, body repair sliop, etc.
He stated he felt it would not hurt to state it as a stipulation in the
reco.mmendation so everyone involved would be clear on the matter.
I�`1r. Bergman AP�?��IE�D�D the T;OTI�N to include limitin� the accessory building .
use to exclude home occupatiori. Seconded by Larrivcrt.
Chairperson Harris wond.ered if it would be necessax•y t� include in the motion
so�:ething about the �a3:•a.�e being compatible witri the existing s�;ructure. Mr.
Re„gman said that tile pei��oner. ha.d stated it wo�ld be, and tr.at discussion
would be in �he r�inui;es for reading by Council. I�ir. Harris s�.id the problem
was that when they got dowri the line at a later period, sometimes the discussion
parts were omitted and the only thing that can be found is the motion �rith the
stipulations« �ir. Bergman asked if there wasn't some type of incentive
provided to the owner to make the aesthetic treatment consistent at the time
he applied for the buildil7� permit. He said tha� regardless of what the
Co.:unission said, the building permit process was z,rhere it really happened.
Mr. Boardman said that was usually a stipulation on the building permit.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairperson }iarris declared a recess at 8:30 P.M. and reconvened the meeting
at 8:55 P.r7.

ta be dropped or changed so that people would e able to afford housing. �le said
that right now about '15'6 of the £amilies were eally struggling in buying houses
which they really can't afford because they c �'t find a needed home in a lower
price range.
Mr. Bergman said he recalled the �0' lot co sideration which was brought to the .
Planning Com�ission's attention from the Bo rd of Appeals based on .a pending
variance request. Tne Planning Co�anission he said, �hen sent tne question to
the subcomrussians to corne b3ck to the P1 ing Commission with regard to policy.
- P�ir. Bergman �aid that Community Devel.opr�e t was one of tnose that reviewed
whether or not �0' lots should be conside ed developable lots for housing, and
they communicated back to the Planr.ing C mmission, as did a couple other
Commissions, and the Planning Com-nission then pulled together or endorsed a
policy-tyne situation in that regard. Ie asked if it was the Planning Commission
dialogue that Bi.11 Nee was referencing his letter, or if it was something else.
Mrs. Schnabel answered that it wasn't eally clear, but she thought it was the
Appeals Cormnission minutes of June 15 that prompted the letter. She stated
she would li�e to review for everybod 's benefit wha'c has happened in order to
help clear the matter up a bit. She aid that on Feoruary 10, 1976, the Appeals
Commission received a request for va iance from a r:ir. Denis L. Villella to
construct a reside:�t�al dwelling on l�0' lot. At that time the Appeals
Comrnission decided that since this was the first req_uest to build on a 1�0' lot,
they should perhaYs request the P1� ing Comrnission and other subcommissions
��Lo try to develop some type of poli ,y statement regarding 1•�' lots. She said
the wo�3s "policy statementt' came out because zn reviewing the Administrative
Staff keport to tr�e Appeals Corrm;is ion on that request, the re:narks said something
about city policy statement. She ommented tha.t the term go� to be used a bit
loo�ly, but it got to be used.
N1rs, Schnabel continued that on M� rch 9, 1976, the Community Development
Commission reviewed u0' iotis, on ;axch llth it was reviewed by Human Resources
and on March 23rd 'oy the Fridley ' vir�n:nental Ghzality Commission. S'.ze stated
that on April 7th the �lanning C ission received thP minutes from the three
subcommissions and on April 27th the Appeals Commission received the guidelines
from the City Council. The City Council received those guidelines prior to
April 27th �rom the Planning Co ission. I�1rs. Sc;uiabel explained that once
the Appeals Com-nission received 'nose guidel�:nes on April 27th from the City
Cauncil, they removed the requeslt fr.om Mr. llenis Villella from the tab12.
Mr. Bergman asked from what bod the Appeals Com�nission received those guidelines,
and Mrs. Schnabel answered from the �ity Council. She explained that the three
subcommissions came to the Plan ing Ccmmission w9.th their recommendations, and
the Planning Commissi�n develop d tentative guidelines which were sent to the
City Council for their approval She stated �that �he Council held two discussions
on that, as she recalled. She el.ieved one was during their i.nformal rneeting and
the second was at a regular Cou,�cil meeting, and they sent their recommendations,
which were not exactly in a fin�lized form but in a sense the approved tentative
guidelines of the Planning Comm'ssion� back to the Appeals Commis�ion.
Mrs. Schnabel� stnted that on Ap il 27th the .Apgeals Commission acted on the
request to build on a Lt0' lot. Mr. �lillella had made six requests for variances,
and the Appeals Commission appraved four of the six and denied two� and passed
