Banning Commission Meeting - September 1, 1971 Page 2
Commission decided to consider the rezoning first. The lot split has been
recorded at the County but was not approved by the City Council. It now is a
matter of the special assessments being divided. The original request was for
a lot split on the apartment houses. The taxes are split, but the specials are
not. The apartment owners applied for a lot split, but were denied by Council
who would rather have them plat than bring in a metes and bounds description.
When Mr. Schmedeke viewed the area just before the Planning Commission
meeting this evening, he said that there were no stakes to show where the
rezoning was planned. There was a pond in the area which he felt would be a
problem for someone to drain. Mr. Clark explained that there was a storm sewer
from the pond which drained into Moore Lake. The pond builds up to a certain
level and then drains into the storm sewer. The problem in this area is platting
and ownership.
Chairman Erickson said that the reason the plat was never filed was because
of a problem with the title and a gap in the description. It might have taken
a court order to clear the title. It took a year and more and the developer
and other owners had either lost interest or ran short of money.
Mr. Schmedeke said he did not believe apartment houses are to the best
interest of the City. While he did not believe in zoning this area to CR-1,
he felt after reading the Zoning Ordinance that the City does have quite a bit
of control in Cr-1 Districts. The Commission can be sure of proper screening
in CR-1 so that we can be sure that R-3 zoning is not being infringed upon.
Because of conflict of interest, Chairman Erickson and Mr. Minish abstained
from voting.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Commission recom-
mend to Council approval of the rezoning request, ZOA #71-05, Real Estate 10,
Inc. of part of Lot 5, Auditor's Subdivision No. 25 being rezoned from R-3
(general multiple family dwellings) to CR-1 (general office and limited business)
subject to the following stipulations: That the City and County be given proper
legal descriptions or a plat that can be approved for the parcel, that the City
sewer and water problems are solved satisfactorily, and for screening to plant
a type of evergreen or blue spruce. Upon a voice vote, Schmedeke and Zeglen
voting aye, Erickson and Minish abstaining, the motion carried.
Mr. Schmedeke said he asked specifically for trees as screening so a plan
would not be for a wooden board fence. More and more cars are being sold and
we need more trees to give us the oxygen the cars use up. He felt it was time
for this Planning Commission to consider putting up some live breathing fences.
/X1 2. PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #71-11, DAVID 0. HARRIS: Construct
a second garage on Lot 12, Block 1, Holiday Hills Addition per City Code
Section 45.051, 2, A.
The reading of the public hearing notice was waived.
Mr. Dave Harris was present.
The area of the Lot was given as follows by Mr. Clark: The North line
-r
Planning Commission Meeting - September 1, 1971 Page 3
on the cul de sac is 59.8' , the Northwest line is 103' to the center of the
Creek, on the East line, it is 239' to the center of the Creek, the meander line
along the creek is 228' . The dimensions of the house are 35' back from the
street, 15' off East line, 32' North/South and 61' East/West, and 61' across
the front. The garage faces North on the West side of the house. A family
room is in back of the garage.
Mr. Harris stated the reason he was requesting a special use permit for a
garage was-because he planned to pursue his hobby of restoring antique cars.
The garage would be used for this purpose. His lot is approximately equal to
four normal City lots - 35,000 square feet. It will be impossible to see the
proposed structure from the street as it is protected by trees at the rear of
the property. He had discussed his plans with the neighbors and there seemed
to be no objections.
There was no one at the meeting objecting to the request.
Mr. Harris continued that the grade change from the street to the proposed
structure is about 12' . He said he has a large investment in his home and would
not do anything to jeopardize the value of 'the home. In the past he had never
had a problem about the oil and grease, as he 'would drain it into a pan or put
it in storage. He had no desire to build a driveway, but there was room on his
property. Besides a driveway would not be used that much as sometimes it takes
a year or two to work on a car.
The overall height of the building would bring the building up to about
the street level. There is not much traffic at the end of the cul de sac.
Mr. Schmedeke said he visited the area and that Mr. Harris had a beautiful
home and he felt this garage would not be detrimental to the area. However,
he had some reservations about the Creek. He wondered if there was any State
or Federal law relating to how close a structure can be built to a public water-
way. There is talk that hiking trails will be made along the Creek, and he
wondered if Mr. Harris could build as close to the Creek as he plans.
Mr. Harris said there is now an island in front of his property which was
not there when he purchased the land. There are seven trees at the bank, and
35 feet between these trees and the front three trees. He would be able to
save the seven trees if the garage were built as planned, but if he had to
move the garage forward, he would have to take all those trees out. But he
certainly would not build there if he were in violation of any State laws.
He has lived on this property since 1966 and last spring was the only time he
noticed there was water in their yard. As soon as the ice jam was removed,
the water left.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Commission close
the public hearing of the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #71-11, David O.
Hprris to construct a second garage on Lot 12, Block 1, Holiday Hills Addition
as per City Code, Section 45.051, 2, A. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
Planning Commission Meeting - September 1, 1971 Page 4
MOTION by Zeglen, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission recommend
to Council the approval of the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #71-11, by
David 0. Harris, to construct a second garage on Lot 12, Block 1, Holiday Hills
Addition per Fridley City Code, Section 45.051, $, A subject to the stipulation
that the City Attorney be requested to check with the Conservation Department,
or any other Department concerned with the regulation of public waterways or
watershed to determine how close a structure can be to the shoreline of Rice
Creek. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
3. PUBLIC HEARING• SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #71-12, HARLAND E. BERRY: To con-
struct double bungalows on7-Eots `3 and 4, Block 4, Ostman's Third Addition
per City Code 45.051, 3,D.
Mr. Roger L. Peterson, the son-in-law of Mr. Berry, represented the petitioner
as Mr. Berry was out of town. He brought out the fact that this same request was
made several years ago for a double bungalow on Lot 3. The Planning Commission
and the Board of Appeals approved, but the Council denied the request. Both lots
are low, and will require a large amount of fill to bring them up to the level
of the road.
These lots are not the most attractive ones due to the cost of fill and
overhead there is a high line that runs above the front yard, and being on East
River Road does not help a lot. The actual expense of building a single family
home would not make it a practical investment. They tried to maintain the lots
and had some fill brought in, but people are still dumping garbage and trash
there.
Mr. Peterson said they would try to get some kind of turn around so that the
cars could drive onto East River Road facing the traffic and not backing out.
It was noted that there was an error in the public hearing notice --
the notice stated "a double bungalow --- on Lots 3 and 4", but the application
stated "double bungalows" on Lots 3 and 4. The Commission felt a Corrected
Notice should be published, and a note of explanation sent with the notice of
hearing to the residents within 300 feet.
MOTION by Minish, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Commission table
to September 22, 1971 the Public Hearing of the Special Use Permit, SP #71-12,
by Harland E. Berry to construct two double bungalows, one on Lot 3 and the
other on Lot 4, Block 4, Ostman's Third Addition per City Code 45.051, 3, D,
pending the publication of a Corrected Notice and the mailing of the Corrected
Notice to the property owners within 300 feet. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
4. REPORT ON GUIDE LINES FOR SUBSTANDARD LOTS: To be continued as material
is not ready.
Darrel Clark reported that the information is almost complete and will be
ready for the September 22, 1971 meeting.
ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business, Chairman Erickson adjourned the meeting
at 9:45 P.M.
