Regular Agenda Public Hearing(s) 24. Ordinance No. 1425, Public Hearing and First Reading to Consider a Rezoning, ZOA #24-01, by Natasha Lawrence to Rezone the Property at 6677 Lucia Lane N.E. from R-1, Single Family, to R-3, Multi-Family (Ward 2) Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Ostwald. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Lund noted that there will be one presentation for the dual public hearing items related to this case. Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager, stated that she would be presenting the rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment requests at this time, although they will be separate actions. She stated that the property owner is requesting a rezoning of the property from R-1 to R-3 to allow the construction of a duplex. A Comprehensive Plan amendment is also needed to change the future land use from single-family residential to multi-family residential. She reviewed the site description and history along with an analysis of the rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment requests. th She stated that the Planning Commission reviewed the requests at its meeting on September 18, providing a summary of that discussion and recommendation for approval of the rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment. She asked that the Council hold the public hearing and consider approval of the two actions requested tonight as presented. Councilmember Evanson asked if R-2 would be the alternative if there were no issues with spot zoning. Ms. Stromberg stated that there is an R-2 zoning but because there are no other R-2 properties in 7 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 4 this area, staff recommended R-3 zoning. She recognized concerns that something larger could be constructed but noted that the petitioner has never eluded to anything other than a duplex. She confirmed that only two units could be constructed under R-2. Councilmember Ostwald referenced the statement that wetlands could not be impacted and asked for more information on how that would be enforced. Ms. Stromberg stated that the Rice Creek Watershed would be the authority for wetland activity. She stated that currently there are no wetland impacts proposed and therefore if the plans changed, new approval would be needed. She stated that in her time in Fridley, there has not been a wetland filled and every development has had to develop around the wetland. Mayor Lund asked for more information on the size of the wetlands, as credits can be purchased to fill a wetland. He recognized that residents do not want to see R-3 zoning because of the potential for a larger building to be constructed. He noted that another option would be to stay in R-1 zoning, allow a lot split and two homes to be constructed instead of a duplex. He recognized that there were already issues in the neighborhood because of the university. Ms. Stromberg replied that there are criteria that need to be met in order to purchase credits. She stated that because Fridley has had little development that has impacted wetlands over the last 25 years, she did not fear that would be the case. Mayor Lund stated that he would like to have something in writing from the property owner stating that an apartment building would not be constructed, but recognized that the property could be sold to another entity after the rezoning occurs. Councilmember Evanson referenced the parcel to the south, 6663, which is not an owner-occupied property and asked the status of that property. Ms. Stromberg stated that the property was subdivided in 2018 to create three lots, and someone is living in that property to the south but was unsure if it was a rental. He asked what would stop someone from purchasing that property as well to make a larger property for development. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, commented that the fear is always bigger than the reality. He stated that a very large portion of the developable land area is wetland and therefore it would be an expensive process to mitigate those wetlands. He stated that there is also a high water table and therefore there is not a great likelihood of putting parking under the building, and without sufficient parking, you could not put a large building on the property. He stated that if the Comprehensive Plan stated that there was an intention to place R-2 between R-1 and R-3, that would then be a tool the City could use but because the City has not done that, it would result in spot zoning. Mayor Lund recognized that it would be costly to change the land to support more development, but it could be done. He stated that in order to change the zoning to R-3 he would need some assurance beyond verbal commitments as plans can change. Natasha Lawrence, applicant, stated that they are just trying to build a duplex and did not believe this would be such a big issue as when they looked into the property Anoka County stated that one to three units could be constructed. She stated that when they reached out to City staff, they were informed that only a single-family home could be constructed. 8 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 5 Mr. Lawrence stated that when they were here previously, they were happy because they were going to build a home on the lot, saving trees and protecting the wetlands. Mrs. Lawrence stated that they were ready to move forward but the bank did not support that plan. She stated that the builder then proposed a duplex which would allow them to get some of the income back. She stated that the Rice Creek Watershed stated that only ten percent of the trees could be removed from the property and they cannot build on wetlands, so that constrains what could be built on the property. Mr. Lawrence commented that they are homeowners and not developers. He recognized that in ten years someone could purchase multiple properties, demolish everything and building something larger. He stated that they have lived in the neighborhood since 2013, their daughter goes to the Spanish immersion school down the road, and they look forward to staying in the community. He stated that this has been a heartbreaking emotional rollercoaster, and they have worked with City staff to try to find an option and follow the rules. He stated that they do not object to R-2, and they would be willing to sign something saying they would only construct a duplex. He stated that they are just people looking to build a home. Mrs. Lawrence asked if the Council could just move forward with R-2 zoning. Mayor Lund explained that spot zoning is not a City regulation but a State regulation. Sarah Sonsalla, City Attorney, stated that if they were to go through R-2 they would need to redo the entire review process. She stated that she would find R-2 to be consistent with the other uses of R-1 and R-3, but noted that there is no R-2 adjacent. She stated that the applicants volunteered to sign something stating that they would only build a duplex and noted that a restrictive covenant could be placed on the property stating that only a duplex could be constructed. Mrs. Lawrence stated that they would be happy to sign that statement. Ms. Sonsalla stated that the City cannot impose that upon the property owners, but they have voluntarily stated that they would sign something to that effect. She stated that it could then become a condition in the resolution that the rezoning would not be effective until that declaration is made on the property. Councilmember Evanson asked how long that would stay with the property and whether that would continue to be a condition if the property changed ownership. Ms. Sonsalla confirmed that the declaration would remain on the property should be ownership change and only a duplex or single residence could be constructed. Mayor Lund clarified that if the property owner is willing and volunteering, they could sign the declaration against the property to limit what could be built on the property. Wally Wysopal, City Manager, asked Ms. Sonsalla to clarify that type of process. Ms. Sonsalla explained that a condition would be added to the rezoning resolution stating that the applicants must agree that a declaration be filed against the property, suitable to the City Attorney, to restrict the development of the property to a single-family or duplex residence. 9 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 6 Mayor Lund invited the public to address the Council. Tom Makozak commented that the R-3 properties in this area already do not appear to be properly zoned and did not believe that additional R-3 zoning is wanted. Mayor Lund clarified that this area could have all been zoned R-3 at one time and was then broken up. Mr. Makozak commented that the residents on Lucia Lane have concerns with the increased traffic of the university for the past decade and with the completion of the cul-de-sac they finally are seeing less traffic. He stated that if the property were rezoned R-3 that could be a 40-unit apartment building which would only bring that traffic problem back. Mayor Lund noted the wetlands and constraints of the site which would not allow a large apartment building to be constructed. Mr. Makozak stated that if the declaration is not placed on the property, the concern would be that the ultimate use could change, and an apartment could be constructed. Mayor Lund noted that the property owner has stated that they are willing to sign the declaration. Mr. Makozak commented that he would be fine with the duplex as long as the declaration is signed that would restrict anything larger from being built. Fay Makozak stated that she was at the Planning Commission meeting when the Lawrences stated that they would not be living in the home and would be renting it out. She stated that the address on the application for the Lawrences is in Lakeville. She stated that the property to the south mentioned earlier is a leased property and therefore could be purchased to add to the size of the development. Adam Betker, 6600 Lucia Lane, thanked the Mayor and Council for the new road and cul-de-sac as that has vastly improved traffic. He stated that he came into the meeting objecting to the request because he believed a larger apartment could be built. He stated that if the declaration were put on the property he would not object to the duplex and would welcome another family into the neighborhood. Pam Reynolds, 1241 Norton, referenced the properties to the north which are listed as R-3 but used as R-1, therefore this property would not be adjacent to R-3. She stated that the larger zoning map shows the predominant zoning of the area to be R-1 and therefore the existing apartment building does not support a change to R-3. She referenced the statement that underground parking would not be supported on the property but recalled apartments that built at grade parking and bermed it to appear as underground parking. Mr. Hickok stated that R-3 zoning allows construction of R-1, R- 2 or R-3, therefore people can build a single-family home on R-3 but that does not change the underlying zoning. He stated that roadways are often the distinction between different zoning districts and therefore adjacent means properties that touch. Sarah Schriner voiced strong opposition to the zoning change. She stated that for the past eight years, the residents of Lucia Lane have worked with the City to increase the quality of life in their neighborhood, which was achieved by construction of the cul-de-sac. She stated that changing the zoning to R-3 would open the door for a 40-unit apartment building which would compromise the safety and well-being of the residents. She asked the Council to listen to the concerns of the residents. John Vartis, Lucia Lane, stated that the City has done a great thing with the cul-de-sac and did not want to see a new problem created, allowing a larger development in the future. He stated that if : Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 7 there could be a condition that only a duplex could be built, that would be a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Dan Christianson, 6640 Lucia Lane, stated that he also had strong concerns about this and thanked the City for the cul-de-sac and paving this year. He stated that his biggest concern was that the plan is approved for a duplex, and something changes in the future allowing something bigger to be built. He stated that if the declaration is binding and cannot be changed, he would then support a duplex. Mayor Lund stated that this Council has listened to the people and is happy to hear that a number of the neighbors who live on the street seem to be okay with the duplex, with the additional assurance of the declaration. He stated that the Council had the same concern, and it appears that the declaration would work to provide that assurance. Councilmember Evanson stated that he represents this ward and is well aware of the traffic concerns of Lucia Lane. He asked for additional input from the City Attorney related to the declaration that would limit construction to a duplex, as most residents who spoke stated that they could support a duplex under those conditions. Ms. Sonsalla stated that this is the first reading of the ordinance and therefore would come back to the Council for the second reading and adoption. She provided the specific condition that she would add related to the declaration. Mayor Lund reiterated that this is the first reading and if there are additional tweaks necessary, that could be done prior to the second reading. He noted that the language proposed tonight will be a part of the second reading and included in the Council packet. Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to close the public hearing, Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously. 25. Public Hearing and Resolution No. 2024-135, Adopting the Assessment for 2024 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST-2024-01 Motion made by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Tillberry. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously. Joe Starks, Finance Director, provided background information on special assessments and the related process that the City has followed. He summarized the street project that was completed, elements of the project that are not included in the assessment, and remaining project elements. He reviewed details of the proposed assessment roll, payment options and repayment schedule, and deferment opportunity. He asked the Council to hold the public hearing and accept any input from residents and then consider adoption of the resolution as presented. Mayor Lund invited residents to provide input. 21 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 8 Pam Reynolds, 1241 Norton, provided written correspondence to Mayor Lund that she then read aloud. She did not understand how her property could be assessed in the amount of $3,350 and objected to the assessment amount and calculation process in general. She noted different assessment rates for the properties along Norton and in other project areas. Motion made by Councilmember Tillberry to accept the written correspondence from Ms. Reynolds into the record, Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously. Brandon Brodhag, Assistant City Engineer, stated that there are two different types of housing and assessment formulas. He stated that NLDR is based off front footage and LDR is based on single- family homes, noting that frontage and driveways are not factored in for LDR. He explained that LDR then splits the total assessment by the number of units within that project area. Mayor Lund stated that residential areas pay equal shares as everyone is using the street equally. Ms. Reynolds commented that a residential property with double the frontage of her property would receive twice the benefit that she would and therefore should have a higher assessment. Mayor Lund stated that different formulas are used for different types of projects and single-family assessment is not based on frontage. He stated that single-family residential properties equally share the assessment because each person uses the road and benefits from it the same. Ms. Sonsalla provided additional information on the assessment amount and related benefit to the property. She stated that it is presumed that there is a benefit, and it is up to those contesting the assessment to bring forth evidence about how the benefit to the property does not equate to the assessment amount. Mayor Lund referenced the assessment policy of the City, to assess a certain portion of the street projects to adjacent property owners. He asked why different rates are assigned to duplexes and townhomes. Mr. Brodhag stated that the City has followed this process since its adoption in 2006. He stated that he is unsure why there was a distinction between a single-family home and duplex. He explained how the single-family, duplex and townhome, and apartment rates were calculated for the project. He offered to email the policy language related to the formula to Ms. Reynolds. th Sarah Kuntz, 1225 65 Avenue, submitted her objection to the assessment. She stated that the City tore up her road because there were errors made by the engineer when the project was last completed. She stated that she asked for something other than grass or sod in the corner to assist with drainage concerns and seed was laid. She did not believe that grass would hold up in that easement because of the drainage issues. She stated that her neighbor actually benefits from the project, as their driveway was flooding, and is not included in the assessment. Mr. Brodhag stated that the neighbor was assessed with the 2008 street project, whereas Ms. Kuntz was not assessed as part of that project and was assessed with this project. He described the elements that were added to address the issues with drainage. He stated that they can look at plantings in the future but for the time being the intention was just to create ground cover. Motion made by Councilmember Tillberry to enter into the record the written correspondence from Ms. Kuntz, Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. 22 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 9 Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously.

Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to approve Resolution No. 2024-143 Approving a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Change the Future Land Use Designation from SFR Single Family Residential to MFR Multi Family Residential for the Land Generally Located at 6677 Lucia Lane N.E. and to Authorize Staff to Submit a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Same to the Metropolitan Council (Ward 2), conditional upon a declaration or restrictive covenant that reassures restricting the property to be utilized only for a single-family residence or duplex be filed against the property in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

Seconded by Councilmember Ostwald. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously. 23 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 10 Mr. Vartis asked if this covenant would prevent this property from becoming a parking lot. Ms. Sonsalla did not believe a lot could be used as a standalone parking lot. Councilmember Evanson stated that it is his understanding that this would restrict the use to a single-family home or duplex. Mr. Hickok commented that the covenant would restrict that activity. He stated that without the declaration the property could be purchased by the university and used as a parking lot. New Business (Continued) 27. Resolution No. 2024-145, Approving a Change Order No. 1 for the 2024 Neighborhood Parks Improvement Project No. 24-70457 Mr. Brodhag provided background information on the 2024 Neighborhood Parks Improvement Project and reviewed the different elements of the proposed change order. He stated that staff recommends approval of the resolution as presented. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the park projects are almost completed and whether there would be additional costs anticipated. Mr. Brodhag replied that the projects are close to completion, with fencing being completed within the next week and then punch list items. He did not anticipate any additional change orders coming forward. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she has received comments from residents that the Logan Park sign is boring. Mayor Lund stated that is the same sign design as the other parks that have been improved. Motion made by Councilmember Ostwald to approve Resolution No. 2024-145, Approving a Change Order No. 1 for the 2024 Neighborhood Parks Improvement Project No. 24-70457.

New Business 1.Jubilee Park and Oak Hill Park Community Engagement Summaries Њ 35 Jufn!6/ Park Commission 9/3/2024 Minutes Page 2 Mike Maher, Parks and Recreation Director, stated that there are two parks proposed for construction in 2025, which would be in addition to the Commons Park project. He reviewed the engagement that was completed for both Jubilee and Oak Hill parks. He noted the proximity of the parks to each other and noted that because they are both smaller parks, they could be complimentary to one another. He presented two concepts for each park, noting that in one concept the parks would contain equipment for all ages while in the other concept one park would have equipment for younger children and the other park would have equipment for older children. Commissioner Whalen referenced pole features shown in concept two for Jubilee and believed that children would be tempted to climb those which could be a liability risk. Mr. Maher commented that line of equipment is widely used, and he was not familiar with any injuries that have occurred, although acknowledged that it could seem tempting to climb. Commissioner Shultz asked if there was feedback from the community about focusing each park for different age groups, recognizing that some families have both younger and older children. Mr. Maher commented that in concept two, Oak Hill would be designed for ages 2-7 while Jubilee would be designed for ages five to 12. He recognized that a family with a 12-year-old and two- year-old may not have full options for play at either park. Chair Borman stated that during the public engagement, it seemed there was a large desire for swings at Oak Hill, while swings were not desired for Jubilee. He stated that it seemed the public input supported older children play opportunities at Jubilee while Oak Hill desired things geared more at younger children. Commissioner Graham commented that she likes the shade provided in option one and asked if there are trees onsite. Mr. Maher commented that both locations have shade trees. Commissioner Shultz asked if there was a request for basketball. Mr. Maher commented that it was included in the concept and there were no requests to remove it. He commented that the focus for tonight is solely on the playground equipment, as the basketball feature will remain. The Commission discussed the different concepts noting that option one is more traditional whereas option two is more modern. It was noted that it is important to have variety within the park system and even though the equipment may be geared for certain ages, kids will still find a way to play. Motion by Commissioner Schultz to recommend option 2 for Jubilee Park and Oak Hill Park. Seconded by Commissioner Whalen. The motion passed unanimously. Old Business 36 Jufn!6/ Park Commission 9/3/2024 Minutes Page 3 Commissioner Shultz commented that his wife recently held an event at the Moore Lake Community Building, and it was a great experience. He stated that the overall park use was also great to see, noting a slight challenge with parking as both lots were full, and people were parked on Central as well. He stated that it was great to see the increased use in the park. Staff Reports 2.!Springbrook Nature Center Report Mr. Maher commented that it was a great summer with the day camp programs and provided a summary of the written report. He advised of the upcoming Pumpkin Night in the Park event th scheduled for October 19. Commissioner Shultz asked if the day camp revenue generates a profit. Mr. Maher explained that Springbrook Nature Center operates under its own enterprise fund and there is a special tax levy dedicated to Springbrook. He explained that program revenue fills in the funding gap between what is generated by the levy and what is needed for operations. 3.!Fridley Parks and Recreation Division Report Mr. Maher provided a brief review of the information provided in the report, highlighting recreational programing and recent events. 4.!Park Maintenance and Construction Report Mr. Maher reviewed the progress on park improvement projects and park maintenance activities. Commissioner Cardona commented that it has been a great year for parks and recreation and thanked Mr. Maher and his team of staff for their efforts.

Approval of Meeting Minutes 1.Approve September 18,2024, Planning Commission Minutes Motionby Commissioner Meisnerto approve the minutes. Seconded by Commissioner Borman. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously. Public Hearing 2.Variance, VAR 24-01, by Jason Zemke, to Reduce the Required Side Yard Setback from 10 Feet to 6.7 Feet to Allow an Addition to an Existing Nonconforming Home, Generally Located at 257 th 69Avenue NW Motionby Commissioner Meisnerto open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Borman. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was opened at 7:02p.m. 39 Jufn!7/ Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 10/16/2024 Nancy Abts, Associate Planner, presented a request for a variance to reduce the side yard setback to th allow the expansion of an existing home at 257 69 Avenue. She provided a site description and history of the property. She then reviewed the code and statutory requirements that the Commission should consider relating to this variance request. She noted that the current neighbor does not object to this variance, but explained that the variance would run with the land and impact future property owners as well. She stated that staff recommends denial of the variance as the request does not satisfy the uniqueness requirement and there are reasonable alternatives. Commissioner Borman stated that he met with the petitioner and the alternative noted by staff would add additional cost to the project. He believed that would be undue cost for the modest addition. Commissioner Nealy asked how they got from ten to seven. Ms. Abts replied that City staff was not here in 1962 but perhaps the survey corners were not marked appropriately or the foundation was laid a bit off. Commissioner Brom referenced the option to change standards citywide and what that process would entail. Ms. Abts replied that as the Commission know the City is in the process of updating the zoning code. She stated that the zoning code helps to address environmental quality and water runoff. She stated that in Fridley they have addressed that by requiring generous yards in lieu of large stormwater ponds. Commissioner Brom asked if the variance were granted, whether that would mean future requests similar in nature would also have to be approved. Ms. Abts replied that there is a risk of setting a precedent. Commissioner Klemz noted that this is not straight along the lot line. He asked if the line were to run straight, parallel to the lot line at 7.1 feet, whether that would still require a variance. Ms. Abts confirmed that a variance would still be required. Commissioner Meisner asked where variable cost is considered, and if the alternative is more expensive, would that support a case for a variance. Ms. Abts replied that economic considerations can be part of the consideration but cannot be the only reason to grant a variance. 3: Jufn!7/ Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 10/16/2024 Commissioner Meisner stated that one of the reasons this Commission exists is to evaluate exceptions to the rules. He stated that there are a number of factors that place this property in the grey area, primarily because it is already nonconforming, and this would only be a 3.5-inch difference from the variance that already exists. He stated that he was not concerned with precedent in this case as there are reasonable considerations to the request. He noted that the neighboring property is the garage side. He referenced the comment that there are reasonable alternatives and asked how reasonableness is assessed. Ms. Abts replied that the applicant and neighbor are present and perhaps can provide input. She stated that she would be curious of the magnitude of the increased cost of building within the allowed area rather than the setback. Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager, stated that for staff, if there is a reasonable alternative and there is not a practical difficulty, there is not a way for staff to recommend approval. Chair Hansen invited the applicant to address the Commission. Jason Zemke, applicant, stated that the report does not include their proposed floor plan and believed that if the Commission could see their modest layout for the addition, they would feel it is appropriate for a home that was built out of compliance 60 years ago. He stated that this out of compliance home, built askew from the property line, has caused no issues to the neighborhood for the last 60 years. He stated that the addition would be seamless to the property and would not appear out of character. Commissioner Meisner stated that the Commission has a certificate from the company which shows the proposed addition. Mr. Zemke confirmed that is accurate but noted that the floorplan for that space is a bedroom and attached bathroom. Commissioner Borman asked if the applicant has an estimated cost for the proposal by City staff, compared to this proposed addition. Mr. Zemke replied that the cost would be about double based on the amount of square footage shown in the staff alternative. He stated that the current estimate is about $100,000 for the addition. Commissioner Borman commented that the staff alternative would involve extensive changes to the roofline as well, which would easily double the cost. th Edward Murzyn, the neighbor at 249 69 Avenue stated that he has no objection to the addition and loves to see the applicants improving their property. He stated that the applicants are active in the neighborhood, take care of their yard, and he would love to see them be able to improve their home. Commissioner Klemz referenced the uniqueness criteria and asked if property is described in that statute, as staff seemed to describe the lot itself and not the home. Ms. Abts replied that she is 41 Jufn!7/ Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 10/16/2024 unsure how that is defined in statute but could look into that. Ms. Stromberg stated that the practice of staff is to apply that to the physical land, not the home. Motion by Commissioner Meisner to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Nealy. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was closed at 7:24 p.m. Commissioner Nealy stated that this is a building that is already out of compliance due to no fault of the current owners and no matter what someone does on this property there will already be a seven- foot setback instead of ten. He did not believe that extending that by the length of the addition would cause harm. He did not believe that an additional 3.5 inches for a reduced setback would make a difference and did not believe anyone would even notice. He stated that he would support the variance request. Commissioner Meisner stated that there are guidelines to maintain the character of the neighborhoods and community. He stated that there are also a variety of tools that allow an exception. He stated that in this situation there is not a preexisting reason that would allow staff to recommend approval of the variance but also believed that is one of the reasons the Planning Commission exists, to understand the regulations of the City, needs of the residents, and perhaps provide recommendations that generally make sense. He stated that the extension of the line of the home by the length of the addition, even though it would encroach an additional 3.5 inches into the setback, is a reasonable request. He stated that even though there is not a typical reason to approve the variance, he is amenable to the request. Commissioner Klemz stated that the alternative to approving the variance would be changing the code, which would set city-wide precedent whereas approval of this request would not set the same precedent. He agreed with the reasonableness of this concern and noted that the neighboring property owner also agrees. Commissioner Borman stated that he agrees with Commissioners Nealy and Meisner and believed that the variance would be proper tool for this situation. He noted that this is extending the current line of the home by eight feet. He commented that this is a very reasonable request. Commissioner Brom stated that he agrees with everyone and commended staff for their recommendation as they did not believe that this request met the statutory requirements. He stated that this is one of those circumstances where they (the Commission) need to understand the needs of the residents and he did not believe that approving this request would be a detriment to anyone. Chair Hansen stated that he walked into the meeting with a different mindset, and he tends to think that variances should only be granted under certain circumstances to avoid setting precedent. He 42 Jufn!7/ Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 10/16/2024 stated that this home was built askew to the property line and therefore is already nonconforming and this does appear to be a reasonable addition. He stated that if this were done under a building permit, no one else would probably even notice other than the neighbor, who agrees to the request. He noted that typically there is a drainage/utility easement in the side yard but that does not exist in this location. He believed that this approval is unlikely to trigger a series of similar applications. He stated that if the property were not already nonconforming, he would not support the request but because of the conditions that exist in this case, he can support the request. Commissioner Meisner stated that because of the magnitude of the sum of the variables he can support this request, but if it were just one of the factors without the others, he would find it difficult to approve. Motion by Commissioner Meisner to recommend approval of the variance as requested. Seconded by Commissioner Borman. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously. Chair Hansen noted that this will move forward for review by the City Council on November 12, 2024. Other Business Ms. Stromberg provided an update on potential meetings for November. Adjournment Motion by Commissioner Meisner to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Commissioner Brom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 7:36 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Stacy Stromberg, Staff Liaison 43 Jufn!8/ AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date:October 28, 2024 Meeting Type:City Council Submitted By:Korrie Johnson, Assistant Finance Director Title Resolution No. 2024-157, Approving Gifts, Donations and Sponsorships Received Between September 16, 2024, and October 18,2024 Background Each month, the City of Fridley (City) receives various donations and gifts to support City operations, programs and projects.

To approve a rezoning there must be similarly zoned land adjacent to the property.

The plans submitted with this rezoning application are to construct a duplex on the south end of the property. However, once the property is rezoned to R-3, Multi-Family, a larger building could be constructed based on the large lot size. Any new building constructed on the property will need to comply with all code requirements, related to setbacks, parking, landscape and stormwater treatmentand wetland protections. A wetland delineation was completed in 2021, and the submitted map (below) shows the location of existing wetlands on the property. The locations of the wetlands limit the buildable area of the lot.
