Upon a voice vote, all voting i aye, the motion carried unanimously. The public hearing � was opened at 8:06 P.M. � F i Mr. Boardman explained that the requested double bungalow ' would be located across the street from an already approved double bungalow that would be built by Mr. Sherwood Jordahl. ; � Mr. Thomas Brickner of 11�01 Kerry Lane said that building � a double bungalow would be the best use of that piece of � property on that lot from the standpoint that the '; , lot tivas located on Rice Creek Road. He said that he had � had a lot of interest sho:rn for the construction of a ` double bungalotir. Mr. Brickner sho�rred the Planning Commission the plans he had for the proposed double bungalol� that he vJould like to build. Ae said that the structure tivould face Rice Creek Road. He said. that it ��rould be a two-story type structure � with double garages on each end. � Chairperson Harris asked what the estimated cost for the ; double bungalovr would be. ; Mr. Brickner said that the cost �vould be in the $100,000 bracket. He said that the double bungalo��r rrould be owner ; occupied, He said that t�ere vrere many requests for z double bungaloivs being made available in that area, k r Mr. Bergman asked if he was building the double bungalow `' on speculation. � r ; Mr. Brickner said that it �vas speculative. He felt that �. the City of Fridley needed more double bungalotiv type ; dwellings. He said irhen there txras a nice looking building in that price range scattered throughout the City on the more busy streets� it tivould be making the best use possible for those particular lots. He also said that that type of construction vrould actually increase the value of some of the homes in the area. Chairperson Harris asked if he would be living in the double bungalo�xr, Mr. Brickner said that he �vould not. ; _ _- ____ 6 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 1 1 Pa e � . � Mr. Shun said that they were puttin� approximately $300 � above what the same garage vrould have cost in a different area. He said �the garage would have tivater- proof plates, studs, sheetings, and special anchors � all over the structure. He said that the driveway to the garage vrould be off of Broad avenue. Chairperson Harris asked if it was in the plans to hard-surface the drive��ray. Mr. Shun said that it probably wouldn�t be done yet this fall, but that the approach would be blacktopped. Mr. Langenfeld asked if there was an urgency for the � r building at this time. He asked the question due to � � the fact of the oncoming winter and spring floods. � t � Mr. Shun said that the would like the a , Y g rage built now because of � ' � t the �rinter �reather that is approaching. , MOTION by Ms. Shea, seconded by Mr. Langenfeld, to close ; the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� ` � - the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing ��ras ' �� closed at 8:02 P.M. i Mr. Langenfeld felt that in the particular case at hand, f that even thou h the re uest is for a ' � q garage in a CRP-2 zoning� it ti�ras on the u er ortion of the F1 d ° 00 PP P Plain , area. He said that the etiticner• tiFras ta��in a P g 11 the necessary precautions as far as impending flooding, and ' they were meeting all the requirements set forth by the ` DNR and the stipulations set forth by the City of Fridley.

He could find no ; problems with granting the request. ; MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded b�r Mr. Bergman, M that the Planning Commission recommend the approval of the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #77-13, Inter City ' Builders: Per Fridley City Code, Section 205. � 57, 5, D to allow the construction of a detached 24 ft by 22 ft garage in CRP-Z ( flood plain) , on Lots 1 -4, Block ti'J, Riverview Heights, the same being 609 Cheryl Street N.�. Upon a voice; vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Chairperson Harris said that the request would go to City Council on November 7, 197?� . i � � � �, r PLANNII�TG COMMISSION N1ErTING - OCTOF3rR 1�, 1977 ' Pa�;e 5 i r • �� Mr. Brickner sai.d that he had had many requests from people , interested in or�ning a double bungalow where they would � live in half and rent the other half. He felt that an ov�rner-occupied double bungaloti�r v�ras most probable. � Chairperson Harris asked about the lot size. � Mr. Boarclman said that as long as the lot was at least � 10,000 square feet there vrould be no problems. He said that no variances ti��ould be required for the planned double bungalotiv. Ms. Schnabel said that she ti�as concerned by having the � rental property in the middle of an R-1 neighborhood. ; She �x�as also concerned of the fact that the double � bungalot�� rould be built on speculation but that • Mr. Brickner had said that it rrould be oti�mer-occupied, i She tivondered hor� that statement could be made. � � Mr. Brickner said that if someone would buy the building " ' and not live in it� that person vTould lose money on his � investment. + ; Mr. Mike Togli of 6275 Kerry Lane I�TE said that it ��rould be possible that someone could buy the double bungalo�v and rent out both sides and use the investment as a t� �rrite-off. Mr. Brickner said that �hat type of tax shelter has been a "tightened up�� a lot in recent years� He said that the ; � amount of money that �vould be required to pay dovrn on his proposed double bungalovr �rould ma�,e it almost impossible ' to have someone buy the property and not live in it. � There tiras some discussion' regarding the surrounding � dwellings in the area. t . 1 Mr. Togli asked vrhen Mr. Brickner had applied for the � Special Use Permit and �vhen he had decided that a double bungaloiv v�rould be the best use of the property. ; Mr. Brickner said that he had applied for the Special ' Use Permit a feti�r weeks ago. He said that from the time ` he bought the lot he had had the idea that a double � bungalotiv ��rould be goad on the lot. Mr. Togli asked tivh�n Mr. Brickner crould start constructiono ' i Mr, Brickner said that it probably �vouldn't be this year. h f { i }f 4 _ _ � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 19, 1977 � Pa�e 6 � _ , t , . 1 � � Mr. Togli asked how many square feet each unit would be. � Chairperson Harris said that each unit would have approximately 1 �200 squre feet of living space. t Mr. Togli asked if Mr. Brickner would change his mind on the lot behind the proposed double bungalol�r. He said that Mr. Brickner had indicated that he planned to � build a single-family dU�elling on that other lot� � Mr. Brickner said that there tiRras no chance ti�rhatsoever ' he would build anything except a single family dvrelling � on that lot. He said that the lot was too steep to � even consider any type of double dti�relling. He said that f a tuck-under type of construction tivould have to be 1 considered for that lot because of the steep grading. ` ( Mr. Langenfeld said that the double bungalo��r approved ` for Mr. Jordahl had been given approval based on a � financial-type hardship Zlrhere Mr. Jordahl would � reside therein in order to help defray the cost. . Mr. Dennis Schneider of 6190 Stinson Blvd (','lard II City Council) explained that ��hen the other approval � came across City Council, the primary consideration tivas that the lot u�as a large lot tilith several different types of easements that made it impossible to make it into tcro lots. He indicated that the other lot had �any unusual characteristics such that traffic that tivent dotiT�n Kerry Lane, the headlights tirould shine directly into the house. He said that on that proposal, there �vas tvro double garages located in the center of the house that t��ould alleviate the headlight problem. He said that the above �F�as the reasons that the Special Use Permit had been granted by City Council. - Mr. Schneider said that in the previous Special Use Permit request the City Council had asked the Planning Commission to look at the Special Use Process as� in effect� a rezoning process. Chairperson Harris said that the Planning Commission had heard about the request but explained that the Commission had had a fe��r other things to take care of. Mr. Schneider said that tivhat the Special Use Permit process tivas actually allo�ving �aas a spot rezoning. He said that in the previous case, he had talked to many of the neighbors and he said there had been about a 50-50 split. He said that some of the people �vere totally set against it� some vrere basically middle of the road, and some� had very positive reaction to it. — t PLANNIrdG COt�'��ISSIOPd M?:I;TIPTG - OCTOBPR 19i 1 �7� Pa�e � � ; ; ' Mr. Schneider said that �;�ith the first request he had - originall� planned to vote a�ainst the approval. He said � that after being made ati�rare of the many easement ; requirements and the traffic problem and also the split f survey of the neighbors� he decided that it vrould be the � best use of the lot to grant the Special Use Permit. He � said that he i��as not prepared to make any type of judgment on the particular case caith Mr. Brickner. He said that he � did share in the concern that Ms. Schnabel had expressed � regardin� the double bungalovr in the middle of an R-1 € zone. � s i Ms. Schnabel asked if P�ir. Brickner had given any thought ; of building a single-family dt�relling on that particular piece of property, Mr. Brickner said that he had only ovrned the lot for a short time but no one had ever approached him to vranting i a single-family drrelling built on the lot. He said that ° he had suggested the lot to several people, but no one had been interested in it because of the lot being right on � Rice Cree� Road. He said that he felt there rras much demand for nice-looking double bungalo��s in that area. ; Ms. Schnabel asked tix�hy Mr. Brickner had asked for a Special Use Permit rather than asking for a rezoning. Mr. Brickner said that it didn�t really make an.y difference hotJ it cras done to him. He said that Mr. Holden had told him that a Special Use Per�it was the best tiray to �o, Mr. Langenfeld pointed out that this type of Special Use Permit required a 1�/5 vote by City Council. MOTION by Mr. Lanoenfeld, seconded by r1s. Schnabel, to close the Public Hearing.- Upon a voice vote, all voting ; aye� the motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing f . was closed at 8: 3z P�M. Mr. Langenfeld asked if there tivas any problems ti��ith the easements on the lot. Mr. Boardman said that there ti�rould be no easement problems. --- _ �'4` II� � PLANNING C�MMISSION MEETIr1G - OCTOBrR 19, 197,� � Pa.�;e 8 � � � . � Chairperson Harris said that the vote on �he previous � � request for a Special Use Permit by Mr. Jordahl had been a split vote by the Planning Commission. rMr. Harris indicated that he had voted a�ainst it at that time and i that he ��rould also vote no on this request. He said that i a double bungalocr ��as not a proper use for that lot that � was in and totally surrounded by R-1 zonings. He said that there ti�ras nerrly built homes in the area and that the � lot in question rrould not be an unsaleable lot. Mr. Harris � said that he had taken the opportunity to visit Mr. Brickner� s ` neighbors and for the most part, they did not feel that � a double bungaloti�r tivould benefit the neighborhood. 3 P�Is. Schnabel said that she also intended to vote against ; the request and pointe� out that had she been at the � meeting for the previous request, she �rould have also � voted against that one. She said that it vJas not a proper � 4 use of the lot in an R-1 zoning and she felt it ti�ras a tendancy to spot zone. She said that the Heather Hills area is all ne�� construction and she felt that a single family drrelling consistent trith the neighborhood should be placed on that lot. i ! Chairperson Harris said that Mr. Brickner does a fine job of building. He builds a quality house and he tivas most impressed ��rith his structures. He complimented Mr. Brickner on his efforts in the Heather Hills area. Mr. Brickner said that from the conversation that the ; best use of the property l�rould be to build a minimur� � sized house on that property. He said that if he could � build a house in the right price range, he felt he � could probably sell it. He said that he couldn� t build � the quality of house that he ti�rould like. He said that ; he tivould probably rrant to build a house in the $40,000 � price range. Chai.rperson Harris explained to Mr. Brickner that he t still had the right of appeal to City Council. He said that the Planning Commission only makes recommendations ; to City Council. He said that City Council did have the E final vote. Chairperson Harris took an informal poll of the Planning Commission. They all indicated negative. Mr, Brickner requested the 1rithdravral of the request. He said that from the conversation, obviously the Commission was against the double bungaloti�r and he did not r�ish to persue the issue further. 4 � ; ; -�w*[�* � PLANNIRIG COt�4ISSI0N MI:TTING - OCTOB�R 19, 197Z � Pa�;e � � Mr. Thomas Brickner e�ithdrerr the request for a Special Use � Permit� uP i�77-14: Per Fridley City Code� Section 205.051 � 3�D, to allo�� the construction of a double bungalorr in R-1 zoning (single family drrellin� areas) , on Lot 1 � Block 1 � � Heather Hills, the same being � 430-11�32 Rice Creek Road NE.
