He said the water would be seeping into the building through the �joints and this building is not designed to handle this.• ' Mrs. Wahlberg asked if there was any curbing there now. Mr. Schmidt said there wasn`t because the ordinance did not exist at that time. He said they ar.e • asking to let them forget about this curbing. Mrs. Wahlberg asked i£ there-has been any seepage now and Mr. Schmidt said there hasn't been as the water has a cha.n ce to drain away from the structure < ' �� Mr. Kemper asked_if there was any type of concrete abutment existing. Mr. Schmidt there �vas none as this is used only as an.access area to the par.king lot. Mr. D9attson stated that to prevent seepage if the curbing had ta be instalJ,ed would xequire installing a real elaborate drainage system. Mr. Schmidt said they have installed storm sewers ta catch the water from the roof because there is na way they can get rid of it because of the different levels. He added fihe curbing would catch ihe water and change the drainage. - Chairman Drigans said the hardship is the expense to r.hanqe the parking lo�. leve].� He asked what the condition of the grass area was anc3 Mr.�Schmidt sai.d it is kept up very nice and there is no driving on it.

DISCUSSIOI3 QN ALTERI�'ATiVE METHODS FOR PROC�SSING VARIANCE APPLICATIONS Chairman Drigans informed the Board that it has been suggested by various.people that any �rvicess by which the City could spe�d up certain variance applications would enhance the building season in Fridley. He said specifically the area tha� the Board should concern themselves with is the residential structures that .are currently existing where they propose an addition of living ar.ea or a garage addition. He said the process now, with the reorganization of the Commissions, requires that all requests from the Appeals Board funnel through the Planning Commission and then to the.Council. tie said it does delay the approval proces:; considerably and that may not 2ae a11 bad but in residential areas maybe th�s Commission should look at alternatives and make a r_ecommendation to the Council. iie said there was a time when the Board had final approval on variances and to make the petitioners wait 3 ox 4 weeks for final action is putting the City in a bad ].ight for a 6 inch variance. He said people don't appreciai:e that. Chairman Drigans said his recommendation is to allow this�Commission to grant variances, on residential property, thai: had the unanimous approval of the Commission� and no aUjections from anybody, public or the administra�ion or the Conunission, and that if ihere were stipulations attaclied ta the appxoval that everybody agreed to them. He said where those variances were granted, the people � ' . �I ` The Minutes of the.A eals Commission l�Seetin of Se tember 16, 1975 Paqe 10 `�� i�ould be al].owed to build and to get Council approval' after the fact. He said ,variances that had objections to them by anybody, would not be automatic, but would have to go t'tirough the Planning Commission with�final action by the Council. Chairman Urigans added that the public hearing would be held and the adjoin9.ng propertX owners no�ified, and it could be stated on the public hearing notice tha� xf the proposal was discussed and approved, tha� this was the final action. Mrs. Wahlberg said there is a difference between new and existing resiciential structures and those other than residential. 5he asked Chairman Dxigans if she was correct in saying that the Board woul.d like to make the recommendation that the requests for variances to only existing residential structures would receive final approval if the Board so decided. Chairman Drigans said he thought the Board should not concern tk�emselves with the industr.ial so much but worry more about the residential because that is where the real hardship is, where the homeowner knows nothing about the paperwork and t�me involved a.n processing the applications. He said people sometime do no� even know that they need a building permit and some want to get it done in the building season opposed to a contractor in the business who knows the Code and whose business ii is to know the Pror.adure to go through. Mrs. Gabel asked if the Board could safely say R-]. anly, that would include new and existing. She said if that would be the case now, the two requests tonight on the foundations, could have gone ahead. • ' Mr..Kemper stated the residential. variances only have small. areas that they af�ect whereas�industrial variances affect the cahole City. He added that the Council in mast cases,� has gone along with the Board's opinion< He said if there would be any objection from the public, administrati.on or th.e Roard, then it would have to go through the Planning Commission and the Councit.� Chairman Drigans asked what the administration's feeling was on this. Mr. Mattson , said the administration came up with thr�e possible speed up processes. He said ' #1 wauld be to change the order around, between the Planning Commission and the AppeaZs Commission so that while the public hearing notices are being sent out. to the adjoining property owners for the public hearing before the Appeals Commission, the request is going before the Planning Commission far consideration. He said #2 would be to give the Board final say on variances under specific instances< He said #3 would be to give the staff power to apprave variances in certain circumstances if they could get a letter of no objection signed by all the affected neiqhbors. Chairman Drigans asked the Board members xf they would feel any undue pressure if they knew that ii they objected to a variance, that it wou].d delay the petitioner 'by 3 or 4 weeks. He said nnw it zeally doesn't delay the applicant if a member votes nay, but if the new procedure was accepted, it would make a difference. Tdrs. Gabel said she would not feel threatened because usually as a whole,the Board agrees on the final action, rirs. Wahlberg said that it would be one sure way of having another Commission review the request if you felt you have any questions that. need to be J.00ked into fur�ther. Mr. Kemper said he wou].d agree with that procedure. Mrs. Wahlberq questioned the #1 procedure on when the apk�lications were su}amitted. application was submitted a day after the for saving time, because it would dePend She said ii: would no� save ti.me if the Planning Commission meeting. f Chairman Drigans questioned the #3 pracedure as he said it would be vezy hard for '' tlte admiiiistration to say no to peo�l� who�the� come in contact with dai2y, such ; as con�raci:ors and he felt it w�ul.cl be easier for the Board to act on the requests. , . .� J The Minutes of tne A eals Commission Meetin of Se tember 16, 1975 Pa e 11 , . . • Mrs. i•TahZberg said this would put more pressure on the petitioner also, as he would have to go around getting the signatures, and this could take more time if the adjoining property owners lived out of town. Chairman Drigans said he felt the clean way to handle the applications for 'residential areas is for the Appeals Commission to grant the variances if there are no objections from anyone. � Chairman Drigans stat�d that in any case, the City Code should be changed ta show that the adjoining property owners should be notified 10 days ahead o� the meeting. Mrs. �•�ahlberg asked if the proper procedure would be to make a recommendation to the City Council to change the procedure anc� to change �:he,wordinq of the Code or would this also have to go to the Planning Commission. Chairman Drigans fe�.t it should go to the Planning Commission and then to the Council. Mrs. Wahlberg said the administration may not concur with the Appeals Commission`s recommendation, as they may want to have the final say in some instances. Chaizman Drigans stated the Boar.d should list i-.�e items they are concerned v:ith for xesidentiaT areas as opposed to commercial and industr5.a1. The Board agreed that their recommendation would be; ' To recommend,to the Planning Commission ancl the Council that the Appeals Commission be granted the power to grant variances in residential (R-1 Zoning) areas under the following conditions; � � � 1. Where there is unanimous agreement of the 1�ppeals Commission 2. Where the staff concurs with the recommendation of the Appeals Commission 3. Where the qeneral. public attending the meeting or responding to the notice have no objections 4..Where the petitioner is in agreemen�. with the recommendat�on - That in those.cas�s where any of the above disaqree, that the normal proceduze of the request going to the Planning Commissian and then to the Council for f znal determination would be adhered to. � . � Chairman Drigans stated that if the Council concuLS with this recommendation, it wou�d be necessary to amend Ordinance #584, Section 205.1£3 along with an amendment to the ordinance which reflects,that written notification be sent to adjacent property owners, and that a time frame be put on the noti.fication (10 days prior to the meeting),and� that a distance of at least 200 feet be used for notification. 1 Mrs. Wahlberg added that if the Council approved this concept, the public hearing �notice should state that the Board wil? have the final decision. 8. BILL}30F�RDS Chairman Drigans informed tlie Board that during the last two meeL-ings, ti�e Planning Commission has been reviewiz�g billboards, and for the most part, the recommendations have been to grant the special use pexmits for continuance of the billboards with the stipulation that the time li.mit.caincides with the expiration of t}ie lease. Tt was brought to the attentiion of i:h� Commission,that there has been �ome concern expzessed by tiie new members on the Planning Conunission tliat billboards have not been discussed at any other commissian J.eve�. Tlie Appeals Commission caould like to poi.nt out tl�at there have been many discussions during the last 1 to 2 years at the Board of 1�ppeals subcommittee level concerning bi.11boards.

He thought the first error that had been made was when the petitioner did not.construc�; his home according to th2 plan submitted to thE Inspection Department. He said that was a gross error on their part. He said i;he administration evident1y did their part wnen they issued the permi� an plans that met i:he City Code. . � Mrs. Wahlberg said that was true, but.they s�ill felt there was some negligenc.e on the administration's part �,rhen the.footing inspection was made. �� Chairman Harris explained to Mr. Israelson that it would take Council action ta remove the red tag.

At so�ne point, ai'ter the fact, somone objected to that pracedure, on the Council, so it was chang�d. lt was then stated that tlle Appeals Con�mission minutes should go through tlie Planning Com�nission and �hen to Council, so the'r.e would be a review board.

Planning Commission recommendation on Appeals Commission alternate procedur�e for handling variances on residential property. •� : � Mr. Drigans said this had been discussed at the last Planning Commission meeting but no recommendation had been made. Ne said that i:hey•were asking that Ordinance No. 584 be amended to include this recommendation and also to include something- that had just been policy before. 7his was the notification of all adjacent property owners t��ithin 200 feet of the variance location. Mr. Drigans�said the problem was the amoun� of time it takes to process a variance (about six weeks) and this was a�particular hardship in a residential area. • The Appeals Commission felt this was a particular problem for people who did not know the procedure to follotv when they �•�anted to build a garage or an addition to their home. These people are usually not in the construction trade, ai�d i:hey �rant to modify their residence in some �vay, and are usually going to do the job themselves. They draw up their �1ans, have the financing, and then come in for a building permit. .Then they find out ihey need a variance 4rhic:h has to be approvea before th� bui1ding permit can be issued. When they find out they �vi11 �have to wait a mi�numum of six��vreeks �.o get variance approval it creates a lot of animasity. Residents relt they were being harassed by the administrative staff. Ydhen they appear before the Appeals Commission they usually say they didn`t knovr they �,rould need a varianc�. . � The Appeals Commission felt there ►�rere somE variances the l�ppeals Cammission could make the final decision on. These r�rould be on residential property (R-i Zoning only}. All other zo;�ing districts w�ouid go through�the normal procedure. In order for'the Appeals Comm7ssion to give final approval four things would be necessary. 1. There would have to be unanimous� agreement of 1:he Appea1s Commission. ,_ 2. i'he staff would have to concur with the recommendation of the Appeals Cammissior 3o The general public aitending �the meeting or t�esponding to the notice of the pub7ic hearing tivould have na objecticrs�. • • 4. The petitioner would have ta k�e in agreemen� with the recommendation. . If there �vas any disagreement, the variance would go througl� the normal procedure, and wou� d be forvaarded to the Ci ty Counci 1 for fi nal . recommendati on .- � .•. • �� Mr. Peterson said he tE�ought the recommendaf;ion was,a sound one, and one that he �aqreed �vith, but he was curious as to wi�y staff agreemen� was included. In his opinion, tfle staff funciion ti�ras to advi se and cat°r�y out, and wi th thi s recomn�e�idation, the � Appeals Commission ��as giving staff line responsibility. He said he gat nervous and upset about giving staffi line responsibili�ies because this tends to take'staff out of the relationship th�y tivere supposed to have zncl puts them�in�the•area where the Commission and gener�l public are supposed to be, Mr. prigans said the reason they included �the staff was the fact that the staff � deals with the building code on a daily basis. They know what variances have been granted in an area, and what type of variances have been granted before. Their function was one of revie�,r to see if something was a.consistent variance.. They have the records. I�e �'e1t that staff input was c�ood input and provided another check and balance. � Mr. Peterson said he would support this recommendation either way, but if the � �::. � � a � 0 • Plannin Conmission t�ieetinq - October 8, 1975 _ ' Page 4 Appeals Cflmmission agrees on a variance unanimously and the adjoining neighbors concur, he thought this vras all the checks and ba7ances needed. �� Mr. Scott said he supported the recommendation. He said that he noted-that under the section Praject Committees, this sectipn of the ordinance did not have the staterrent that the project committee shali be chaired by a member'of the Commission. He said he would like that statement t'aken out of the ordinance for the Human Resources Commission. Mr. Boardman said this �,ras an oversight and would t�e added to the Appeals Commission section along ti��ith the other amendn�ents. . � Mr. Scoti said he �,►ould still like to see this section taken out of their section of the ordinance. They have so many project committees going that this stipulation __ only allowed the Commissioner to give "tokenism" to the pro3ect camm7ttee. He said � that most of their project committees meet ti,reekly, and each Comm7ssioner was involved with more than one project committee, so this w�s creating a real hardship. He said the reason they had asked to meet t�vice a month v�ras because the second meeting was gaing to be a Numan Resources Forum mee�ing, so they could get reports and give direction . to the project committeese Ne said he had no objection to a Cammissioner acting as l�a�so Mr. Boardman said he V�ould try to get this request on ihe conference meeting of the Council, and Pdr. Scott could discuss th�s �r�th the Coui�cil a� that time. .Mr. Peterson said he agreed ►vi�:h Mr. Scott, because the Commissioners from Parks & Recreation ciidn't feel they had this much time ia give to project committees either. �.

Lots 1,2, and 3, Block 15, Fridley Park Addition are located in neighborhood #9 (defined by barriers which include Mississippi Street, East River Road, and Burlington Northern Railxoad). The 1970 population for the area was approximately 232 total persons which included 13% between the ages of 0 to S and 26% between the ages of 5 to 15. This area has not been subject to � population changes or moves which would be necessary to maintain a young population. Therefore, it can be anticipated that the population between the ages of 0 to 5 has decreased considerably and the 5 to 15 age group has remained fairly constant but will reduce ' in numbers over the next 5 years. This will mean an overall matur- ing of the neighborhood with a total reduction of the number of persons taking place. In Iooking at the recent housing statistics we can anticipate a fluctuation in the ovexall character of the neighboxhood over the next 10 to 15 years. There are a total of 60 units in the neighborhood of which approxima�tely 56.8% are between 20 to 30 years old, 10% of the units are in need of major repair. 83.3% of the units are still owner occupied, however, this is somewhat below the City average. It is anticipated that the neighborhood will ehange primarily to a renter occupied neighborhood and will follow the comprehensive plan Page 2 .

Neighborhood #7, directly West of Neighborhood #9 has a total of 21.8 acres of recreation areas,' park and school property, to satisfy a population which would only require 5.4 acres for any anticipated future population. These facilities could be easily used for the needs of Neighborhood #9 with the provision for safe access across East River Road. This access is anticipated with the provision of phase•3 of the bikeway systems plan. At present time there are signals provided at 61st and Mississippi Street along East River Road. Because of this data, the sizes of the lots in question and the administration of total 1ot size facilities I would recommend that these lots not be utilized for park facilities and efforts shDUld be transferred to providing safer access to available facilities.

He said the Par°k Director said this property was not needed, and based on that we recommended that these lots be released, un1ess the Planning Commis�ion felt differently. � �� Mr. Baardman said this was in the South �alf of Section 15, and was in a� . area designated as Neighborhood 9, which has a popul�rtion �f 232 people� He said the recomrnendation for this neighborhood was that at present the low population in this area doesn't warrant addit�ionai park land and accent should be p1aced on access to adjaceni park �acilities. t�ith the bike��ay sys�em, we wou'Id have that access. Mr. Peterson said that this property wasn`t large enouah far anything.but a tot lot. h1r. Boardman said that there were 13 children.bet��reen 0 to 5 years old and 26 children betti�een 6 and 15, so this was not a good�area for a tot lot. Mr. Harris said there was only one tot lot in this entire area: Mr. Boardman said some sort of agreemeni �hould be urorked aut with Stevenson Schoal and �h� Isiand of Peace. Mr. Peterson said they did work with the scl�ools on park programs. They have put in jungle gyms on school property so there would be a�universa�l appeals to a11 age groups. Ne said the top pr�ority in �his area was access. � Mr. Boardman said the park survey shows that the area between 64th 4Jay to Mississippi ►-ras not adequate1y served by parks, but he didn't kno�,t if the population in this area t�lould justify the purchase of property. He said that what they had anticipaied in this a,rea in the comprehensive plan Vras that this was a changing area. We anticipate that future growth in this area wou1d be more the apartment type develop-� ment, and that any recreation area that would be needed b� provided by the developer of � the complex.. , � : � . � Mr. Harris asked ��hai they could do for ihe people in this area�now? Mr. Boardman said the main problem wou1d be in providing access across East River Road. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Peterson if he could bring this �o the attention of the Parks & Recreation Department. : - � � . _ Mr. Peterson s�id there weren't very many 4 and 5 year olds in this area, and _ �tvith the park budget for ilext year, they weren't goii�g to be abTe to prov}de as many services as �hey did this year. They i�ave higher prioz^ity areas, where they can serve 200 people, so this was a low oriority area. bJe can contact the school, and see if an agreement could be reached to provicie.some recreation tf�ere. There was no money to pick up the delinquent�taxes and assessments, sa this was ti��hy tive recommended releasing these 1ots. . .� MOTl'ON by Peterson, seconded by Scot�, that the PZanning Commission concur with the.Parks & Recreation Commission and recommend to Counc.i.Z�L-hat Lots I, 2 and 3, B1ock 15 Fr.idley Park Addition be re2easeci from the red tag for park acquisition.
