MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE REQUEST. VAR #02-07, BY SCOTT GOLTZ:
Per Section 205.04.05.B of the Fridley Zoning Code, to allow the construction of a new
accessory structure in the front yard (new accessory structure will replace the existing
structure) on Lot 14, Block 1, Oak Creek Addition, generally located at 211 Logan
Parkway NE
MOTION by Ms. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Zinter, to waive the reading and open the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE -CHAIRPERSON VOS DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:32 P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the petitioner is representing Bruce and Suzanne Hanley who are
requesting a variance to allow a new accessory structure in the front,yard. In addition, they are
also requesting a variance to reduce the front yard setback to 28.4 feet. The proposed
accessory structure will replace the existing garage. The property is zoned R-1, single family,
as are all surrounding properties. Oak Glen Creek runs through the north portion of the
property. As are most homes constructed along the waterway, it is set back as close to the
creek as it can be. The existing home is set back 72 feet from the front yard lot line and the
existing garage is located approximately 30 feet from the front yard lot line.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the City Code states that accessory buildings must be located in the
side or rear yard only. Due to the unique shape of the lot and the position of the home on the
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 10, 2002 PAGE 2
lot, the petitioners are seeking a variance to allow an accessory structure in the front yard. The
garage would be located 28.4 feet back from the front yard lot line and would meet all setback
requirements. The code states that structures must be set back 40 feet from a bluff line. This
requirement would limit the petitioners from locating the proposed structure in the rear yard of
the property. The Code also states that if the front yard setback of neighboring homes is
greater than the minimum front yard setback, the new structure can be six feet more or less of
the average depth of the adjacent structures. In no case shall it be less than the required front
yard setback. The front yard setback is determined at 55.5 feet.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the home to the east is set back 88 feet from the front yard property
line. The home directly to the west is set back 35 feet from the front yard property line. The
average of these two setbacks is 61.5 feet. When you add or subtract six feet, the front yard
setback would be 55.5 or 67.5 feet. The petitioners are requesting a variance to reduce the
front yard setback from 55.5 feet to 28.4 feet to allow the construction of a new accessory
structure. Due to the unique conditions of this lot,, the proposed location for the accessory
structure seems to be the petitioner's best option.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the summary of hardship reads as follows: "1. The garage was built
in 1955 and pre-existing to our purchase of the home. 2. The home has no basement and
therefore no area for storage. 3. Wood foundation and cedar siding of garage has rooted. 4.
Garage is rodent infested with mice, squirrels and chipmunks. 5. Concrete slab floor of garage
is not sloped properly and frequently has standing water. 6. Concrete slab floor of garage is
not sloped properly and frequently has standing water. 7. We are unable to get into our cars
when they are parked in the garage because of space restrictions. We must literally squeeze
ourselves in the door of our perspective vehicles. "
Ms. Stromberg stated that staff has no recommendation on the variance to locate an accessory
structure in the front yard due to a similar variance granted in 1999 at 6454 Riverview Terrace to
allow an accessory structure in the front yard. If the Appeals Commission recommends
approval of the front yard setback variance, staff recommends the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary building permits prior to construction.
2. The structure shall not be used for a home occupation or living area.
3. All vehicles shall be stored on a hard surface as approved by the City.
4. The garage shall be architecturally compatible with the existing home and finished with
complementary siding and color scheme.
Ms. Jackson asked if the little box in the picture was the existing garage.
Ms. Stromberg stated that it was.
Ms. Jackson stated that the new garage would not come forward anymore.
Ms. Stromberg stated that it would come approximately two feet closer.
Mr. Zinter asked if they looked at more than two houses when averaging the setback.
Ms. Stromberg stated that Code states that the two adjacent properties should be looked at, and
that is normally what staff does.
Mr. Jones stated that the front of the garage is not going forward any more than it is now.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 10, 2002 PAGE 3
Ms. Stromberg stated that the existing garage is at 30 feet, and the proposed garage will be at
28 feet.
Mr. Scott Goltz, Goltz Companies, stated that he is representing the owners. They are trying to
make the location of the garage even with the side lot and make an access on the front point.
This does not bring it closer to the road at all. Complementary siding and color schemes will be
used.
Dr. Vos asked if the stipulations are okay.
Mr. Goltz stated they are.
MOTION by Ms. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Zinter, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE -CHAIRPERSON VOS DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:42 P.M.
Ms. Jackson stated that there are health, safety, and aesthetic issues with the existing garage.
Granting the variance will not change the sight line for the neighbors, and she sees no reason
not to approve it.
Mr. Jones stated he would be in favor of approving the variance. The road is curvy anyway, and
the lines of sight would not bother the neighbors. Were there any comments from the
neighbors?
Ms. Stromberg stated staff did not receive any comments from the neighbors.
Ms. Hanley, 211 Logan Parkway, stated that Kay Nee called and told her there were no
objections.
Dr. Vos asked if that was house number 229.
Ms. Hanley stated that was correct and is the house most affected by the garage to the left.
Mr. Zinter stated that this will be a nice upgrade for the property and he would be in favor of
approving the variance..
Dr. Vos stated there are no other locations on the property to put the garage.
MOTION by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Zinter, to recommend approval of VAR #02-07 with the
following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary building permits prior to construction.
2. The structure shall not be used for a home occupation or living area.
3. All vehicles shall be stored on a hard surface as approved by the City.
4. The garage shall be architecturally compatible with the existing home and finished with
complementary siding and color scheme.

Similar variance granted:
■ VAR 99-25 6454 Riverview Terrace
Variance approved to allow an accessory

setback variance, with stipulations.
■ The layout of the lot is a unique situation and

CITY COUNCIL ACTION/ 60 DAY DATE
City Council — April 22, 2002
(Existing Home)
Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg
VAR #02-07
REQUEST
Petitioner, Goltz Companies is representing Bruce and Suzanne Hanley, who are
seeking a variance to allow the construction of a new accessory structure in the front
yard of their residence at 211 Logan Parkway. They are also seeking a variance to
reduce the front yard setback to 28.4 feet. The proposed accessory structure will
replace their existing garage.
ANALYSIS AND CODE REQUIREMENTS
The property is zoned R-1 Single Family and is located and fronts on Logan Parkway.
Glen Creek runs through the north portion of the property and as most homes
constructed along a waterway it is setback as close to the creek as it can be. The
existing home was built in 1955, with two home additions being added in 1988 and
1993. The existing home is setback 72 feet from the front yard lot line and the existing
garage is located approximately 30 feet from the front yard property line.
Existing Home and Detached Garage
City Code states that accessory buildings must be located in the side or rear yard only.
Due to the unique shape of the lot and the position of the home on the lot, the
petitioners are seeking a variance to allow an accessory structure in the front yard. The
City Code also states that structures must be setback 40 feet from the bluff line,
therefore limiting the petitioner from locating the proposed structure in the rear yard of
the property.
City Code also requires that if the front yard setback of neighboring homes is greater
than the minimum front yard setback, then the setback for the new structure can be six
(6) feet more or less of the average depth of the adjacent structures. In no case shall it
be less than the required front yard setback. Based on the above code requirements, a
front yard setback of 55.5 feet is determined. The home immediately to the east is
setback 88 feet from the front yard property line and the home directly to the west is
setback 35 feet from the front yard property line. The average of these two setbacks is
61.5 feet, when you add/minus 6 feet, the front yard setback options are 55.5 feet or
67.5 feet. The petitioners are seeking a variance to reduce the front yard setback from
55.5 feet to 28.4 feet to allow the construction of a new accessory structure. As stated
above, due to the unique conditions of the lot, the proposed location for the accessory
structure seems to be the petitioners best option.
The existing structure is 528 square feet and the proposed structure is 960 square feet,
therefore the size of the structure will be increased by 432 square feet. The proposed
structure meets lot coverage and side yard setback requirements. The petitioners plan
to use the structure for vehicle parking and storage. City staff has received no
comments from neighboring property owners.

211 Logan Parkway Northeast Garage Hardships:
1. Garage was built in 1955 and pre-existing to our purchase
of the home.
2. The home has no basement and therefore, no area for
storage.
3. Wood foundation and cedar siding of garage has rotted
4. Garage is rodent infested with mice, squirrels and
chipmunks. , ,
5. Because garage roof has nearly no pitch, there is improper
run-off of rain and snow melt. .
6. Concrete slab floor of garage is not sloped properly and
frequently has standing water.
7. We are unable to get into our cars when they are parked in
the garage because of space restrictions. We must literally
squeeze ourselves in the door of our perspective vehicles.
