SPECIAL USE PERMIT PROCESS
s2 se: A special use permit allows the City with the discretion to
determine the suitability of certain uses on the general health,
welfare and public safety.
�#�t eve oFxrx
K Considerations: The City may consider the following to determine the _
+ Vel°p`"` suitability of a certain use:
1. the nature of the land on which the use is to be
located,
2. the nature of the adjacent land or buildings,
3. the effect on traffic into/out of the site, or on
adjacent roads,
4. any other factors the City shall identify as
appropriate to determine the effect of such use.
The Special Use Permit process begins by filling out a SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION. This,
with a site plan, and other appropriate drawings, must be submitted to the Planning staff. A fee is
associated with the application; $100 for second accessory building applications, $400 for all other
applications. Fees are non-refundable.
Once the application is received, the application is reviewed by staff from the Planning,
Engineering, Assessing, Fire, and Police Departments. The impacts to adjacent properties are
discussed, and stipulations are developed. Simultaneously, a mailing list of all properties within a
350 foot radius of the property is generated. Notices of the request are sent to these property
owners. There is approximately four weeks between the application due date and the Planning
Commission meeting.
Prior to the meeting of the Planning Commission, a staff report is written, and the petitioner called
regarding the staff recommendation.
The Planning Commission is made up of seven residents of the community. The meetings are held
the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 7:30 pm in the Council Chambers in the Municipal
Center. The Planning Commission is an advisory commission to the City Council. It is the
responsibility of the Planning Commission to conduct a public hearing, gather testimony and make
a recommendation to the City Council regarding all special use permit requests.
Additional information regarding the Special Use Permit Process may be obtained by calling the
City of Fridley Planning Department at 572-3599 or 572-3593.

Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin
SP #99-10
Analysis
George Bydlon, property owner at 6454 Riverview Terrace is seeking a special use permit to
construct a 264 square foot second accessory structure. A small detached garage currently sits
on this site. The new structure will be used in the winter for covered, screened pontoon boat
storage and in the summer will be used as a screen porch/park shelter type building for the
petitioner and his family.
The petitioner is also seeking a variance from the Appeals Commission to correct the non-
conformity of his existing garage being located in the Code defined front yard and to allow
construction of this second accessory building. The original home was built in 1936, facing the
river. In 1949, the garage was built in it's current location. In 1985, a variance was granted for
an addition to the home that reduced the setback from the bluff line from 40' to 20'. By code,
this is the petitioners rear yard. Due to the fact that structures must be setback 40' from the bluff
line, the only place for the petitioner to construct this accessory building is in the Code defined
front yard.
Accessory buildings over 240 square feet are a permitted special use. If the building were
reduced by 2' in length it would not require the special use permit. However, these two feet are
needed by the petitioner to accommodate storage of his pontoon boat and avoid code violations
for boat storage in the front yard. The existing garage and the proposed accessory building are a
total of 588 square feet, which is 812 square feet less than the total allowed by Code. The
petitioner accesses his home through a 25' wide easement across the property immediately to the
East of his property. This neighboring property shields all views of the petitioners property.
The location of the proposed accessory structure is located such that it will not take away
neighbors view's of the river. The location of this accessory structure seems to be the optimal
spot for this site. Therefore, staff recommends approval of this special use permit.
Staff Recommendation
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit, with the following stipulations.
1. All necessary permits shall be obtained from the City prior to construction.
2. This special use permit shall become null and void if VAR#99-25 is not approved.
3. The accessory building shall be architecturally compatible with the existing home and
garage.

THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT, S.P. 99-07
BY GEORGE BYDLON:
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:36 P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow the
construction of a 264 square foot accessory building. The building will be used as a
screen porch in summer and pontoon boat storage in winter. The petitioner is also
requesting a variance to allow this building and the existing garage in the code defined
front yard. This variance will go before the Appeals Commission on Wednesday,
September 22, 1999. The petitioner's home is located at 6454 Riverview Terrace, and
is zoned R-1, single family residential, as is the surrounding area to the north and south
and east. The Mississippi River is to the west.
Mr. Bolin stated the property is not actually located directly on Riverview Terrace.
There is a 25-foot wide driveway easement going into the property. The lot has a gentle
slope that goes from the garage down to the river bluff where it drops off quite steeply
down to the river. The yard is very well landscaped, covered by grass, trees, and flower
gardens. The original home was built in 1936; three years later the lot was platted. In
1949, the current garage was originally built. In 1985, the petitioner added on to the
home. The garage is 324 square feet and too small to store the petitioner's pontoon.
The petitioner has problems getting one of his vehicles into the garage.
Mr. Bolin stated the proposed accessory structure is going to be 264 square feet, for a
total of roughly 588 square feet. The code does allow up to 1400 square feet of
accessory buildings on a property. He stated second accessory buildings over 240
square feet are a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district, and the location of the
accessory building will not impede any neighboring views of the river.
Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of Special Use Permit, SP #99-10, with the
following stipulations:
1. All necessary permits shall be obtained from the City prior to construction.
2. This special use permit shall become null and void if VAR #99-25 is not
approved.
3. The accessory building shall be architecturally compatible with the existing home
and garage.
Mr. Bolin stated the building will be faced in cedar to match the garage and also the
shingles will match the garage. The home between the petitioner's home and Riverview
Terrace has a driveway easement that runs along the south edge of the property. The
proposed structure would be located in that area.
Ms. Savage asked Mr. Bolin if there was any opposition to this permit from the
neighbors.
Mr. Bolin stated that he has received no comments from the neighbors.
Ms. Savage asked if the special use permit was required because of the location.
Mr. Bolin stated that the special use permit was only required because it was a second
accessory building and it is over 240 square feet in size.
Ms. Savage asked Mr. Bolin if the size was permitted.
Mr. Bolin stated, yes.
Mr. George Bydlon, 6454 Riverview Terrace, stated that he did not have any additional
comments or changes pertaining to his special use permit request.
0.�
Ms. Savage asked Mr. Bydlon if any of the neighbors voiced any concerns regarding
this project.
Mr. Bydlon stated that he has not heard anything from his neighbors.
Mr. Kondrick asked Mr. Bydlon if he had any problems with the stipulations
recommended by City staff.
Mr. Bydlon stated that he did not have any problems with the stipulations by staff.
Mr. Oquist asked Mr. Bydlon if the vertical walls of the accessory building would be
screened.
Mr. Bydlon stated that the plan was to screen and lattice the walls and keep it as open
as they can because it would be convenient for family get-togethers.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:46 P.M.
Mr. Oquist, Mr. Kondrick, and Ms. Savage stated that they were in favor of approving
the special use permit.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick to recommend approval of Special
Use Permit, SP #99-10, by George Bydlon, to allow a second accessory structure in

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEA NG OPENED AT 7:58 P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated that this was a rezoning and pecial use request by Brian and
Jacqueline Bona for the property at 5333 U ' ersity Avenue. They are seeking to
rezone a portion of this property from R-3, ulti-family Residential, to C-2, General
Business. Mr. Bona had also requested total of six variances in order to construct an
automobile service station. That requ t has now been reduced to one variance.
Currently there is a facility at the cor r of 53rd and University Avenue owned by Mr.
Bona which is a motor fuel sales o ration, which exists under its own special use
permit. To the east is multi-famil residential, to the north is the property being
considered for rezoning. There s an alley that exists on the site to the north of the
existing proposed area.
Mr. Hickok stated the petit' ner has requested a rezoning of the property described as
lots 24 - 30 of Hamilton' addition to Mechanicsville from R-3 to C-2. Repair garages
are permitted by sped use in the C-2 General Commercial District. The proposed
facility size inevitably ill cause parking to encroach on this R-3 property. The building
itself will be on the isting C-2 and parking will stretch across onto R-3 property
causing the need r rezoning. The R-3 district would otherwise allow a multi-tenant
residential devel ment. The land size is 25,596 square feet roughly. Based on this
land area, as ny as fourteen residential dwelling units could exist on this site and
would remain -3. Undeveloped multi-family land is very scarce in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Hickok tated rezoning requests are reviewed by staff and then matched against
standard of the code to make certain the rezoning recommendation coincides with the
mission and wishes of the City as described by code. A proposal must match the
criteria n all three instances. If not, the rezoning fails to receive a positive
reco mendation from Staff. Compliance with the district's standards is required. In this
cas , a 20-foot variance or setback from the residential area is required, and was
re ested of the Appeals Commission. The rezoning request is being made with one of
t se three criteria being that the proposal complies with the district requirements, and

RE: Planning Commission action on SP#99-10 M-99-236
INTRODUCTION
George Bydlon, property owner at 6454 Riverview Terrace is seeking a special use permit
to construct a 264 square foot second accessory structure. Asmall detached garage
currently sits on this site. The new structure will be used in the winter for covered, screened
pontoon boat storage and in the summer will be used as a screen porch/park shelter type
building for the petitioner and his family.
Accessory buildings over 240 square feet are a permitted special use. If the building were
reduced by 2' in length it would not require the special use permit. However, these two feet
are needed by the petitioner to accommodate storage of his pontoon boat and avoid code
violations for boat storage in the front yard. The existing garage and the proposed
accessory building are a total of 588 square feet, which is 812 square feet less than the total
allowed by Code. The petitioner accesses his home through a 25' wide easement across
the property immediately to the East of his property. This neighboring property shields all
views of the petitioner's property. The location of the proposed accessory structure is
located such that it will not take away the neighbor's view of the river. The location of this
accessory structure seems to be the optimal spot for this site. Therefore, staff recommends
approval of this special use permit.
The Appeals Commission has granted the petitioner a variance to locate the structure in the
front yard due to the unique layout of this property, located along the river.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
At the September 15, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for SP
#99-10. The Planning Commission concurred with Staff that the proposed location of the
accessory structure is the best location available on this property. After a brief discussion,
the Planning Commission endorsed staff's recommendation for approval.
A motion was made to recommend approval of special use permit, SP #99-10, with the
following stipulations:
