TRACY AVENUE SIDEWALK APPROVED. Mr. Dunn recalled that on August 5, 1974, a hearing had been conducted on construction of a sidewalk on the East side of Tracy Avenue from Hillside Road to Benton Avenue. At that meeting, the'matter was continued so that it could be considered by the Countryside P.T.A. and the School Board fpr their consideration and input as to whether 1) sidewalks are wanted on Tracy Avenue; 2) on which side they should be constructed; and 3) if they should be continued all the way to Vernon Ave. Mr. Dunn said that, while the School Board had been somewhat noncommital, the Count-ryside P.T.A. had reaffirmed that the sidewalk should be constructed on the East side of the street and recommended that it be extended all the way to Vernon Avenue. Dunn recalled that no -assessment for the project would be made against adjacent properties, with the entire cost to be paid from State Aid funds and maintenance to be done by City forces using State Aid maintenance funds, in conformance with present policy. Mr. P. F. Kane, 6109 Tracy Avenue, contended that the proposed sidewalk will not necessarily provide additional safety' for children Because child- ren will still use the shortest route. declining, Countryside School might even be closed. made to find out hou many children will be using the sidewalk. Bains, 6101 Tracy Ave., said that if the sidewalk is really needed, it should be built on the IJest side of the street. and concurring generally with Mr. Kane, were Mr. Clayton DeJongh, 5621 Tracy Ave., and the resident at 5805 Tracy Ave. Bftending Countryside School live East of Tracy Ave. and it would be better to have the sidewalk on the East side than- to'.have- them-cross at-varj.&sLp~in& .-..-ne. added that, if any of the schools should be closed out, Countryside School, being one of the newest schools, would in all probability, remain open. ahat with proper parental and school guidance the children should learn to use the sidewalk properly. Mr. Gerald Eisele, 5517 Countryside Road, read from the minutes of the Eountryside P.T.A. whlch indicated that a quarter of the school population would have better access to a sidewalk on the east side and that a walk on the West side would force children to cross Tracy before they reach a guarded intersection. Concurring with Mr. Eisele was Mr. M. Don Bolke, 5521 Countryside.Road, an uniden- tified lady who said that children now have to walk in the street, and another unidentified lady in the audience who said that these children used to be bussed to school and that there are now more walking in the street. In response to a question of Mrs. Rosemary Long, 5817 Tracy, Mr. Dunn said that no accidents have been reported so far on Tracy Avenue. man in the audience who said that his daughter had been struck by a car three or four years ago. . Mr. Earl A. Schoenecker, 6301 Tracy, requested that the sidewalk b& extended farther South. Councilman Johnson then recalled that this request of the Countryside P.T.A. and the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Committee had been a concern for some time and he believed that Council should respond to a legitimate concern for pedestrian safety. Heithen moved that the sidewalk be constructed on the East side of Tracy Avenue between -Vernon Avenue and the Frontage Road 015 the North side-ofCSZU;I 62.

Mr. Luce pre- sented Ordinance No. 811-A54 and Final Development Elan of Metram Properties Company for property at 5105 N. 70th Street aid recalled that when FiEst Reading was granted on May 20, 1974, questions had been raised about the alignment ofl?. 70th Street. and said that the construction of the proposed sixty unit apartment building would be in conformity with the plan. Mr. Luce said that the site is 5.45 acres after the fifty foot parkland dedication and 50 foot easement from the creek, making a total 100 foot setback from the creek. Mr. Luce said that the Planning Commission has recommended approval for the following reasons: With the aid of the view-graph, Mr. Luce showed the South Edina Plan - 1. 2. It conforms with the Concept Plan approval . 3. It represents a logicalrtransition of land use 4. The proposal conforms with the South Edina Plan All final development plans have been submitted and found to be adequate . In response to a question of Councilwoman Schmidt, Mr. Luce e$lained traffic movements in the area and said that the best egress from the site is to the West Frontage Road and then to the proposed interchange. Councilwoman Schmidt said that in talking with a Highway Department official, she had been told that con- 9 /16/74 struction of the interchange would not begin before two years and possibly five years and suggested that in view of heavy traffic at the intersection of $1. 70th and Normandale Road, development of this property at this time is premature. llr. Dunn said that it is becoming more obvious every day that some temporary improvement will have to be made for the'tirrning.situation at that intersection. Bs recommended by Mr. Hyde, Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by Council- man Shaw and carriedthat the matter be continued to October 7, 1974, so that an environmental impact study can be available to Council. ROBERT DE BUV VARIANCE =PEAL 'CONTINUED TO September 26, 1974. notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mayor Van Valkenburg excused himself for this hearing, stating that he had known Mr. Gisselbeck for some time. Councilman Courtney assumed the Chair. Mr. Luce recalled that the appeal of Mr. and Mrs. Robert G. Gisselbeck to the Board of Appeals and Adjustments decision granting a variance to Mr. and Mrs. Robert De brey had been appealed by Hr. and Mrs. Robert G. Gisselbeck, 4500 Browndale Ave., who live just North of the De brey home which is located at 4502 Browndale Ave. Mr. Luce explained that in November, 1973, the geSbreys-recai9ired'a building permit to construct a greenhouse addition above the existFng garage. ing non-conifarming setback was acceptable because the pe bregs had indicated that the garage maintains a two foot setback from the North property line, because a greenhouse is a permitted accessory use not considered a livable portion of a home and, therefore, not requiring an increased side yard- setback, and because the proposed average building height was to have been only 13 feet. Mr. Luce showed sketches which indicated the difference in the original and the second plans and explained that a larger side yard setback is required for structures exceeding an average height of 15 feet, and livable space requires a larger setback than non-livable space. It wag explained that the second Building Permit was issued in error for a family room and that the matter only came to the atten- tion of the Planning Department after the studs were up and calls were received from neighbors objecting to the construction. Mr. Luce replied in the-affirmative to a question of Councilman Courtney that plans for the family room were approved by the Building Department in June, 1974. Mr. Hyde clarified that in most instances when the Building Department receives a plan which needs a variance, it is referred to the Planning Depaktment, but that the original plan, being for a greenhouse which is considered an accessory use, did not require a variance. Nhen the plans came in for a change to livable space, the Building Department did not send the plans to the Planning Department because they thought that the plans still- coincided with the original agreement Thexeno side yard setback was required. Mr. Gregory Gustafson, attorney for the Gisselbecks, said that the rear of the garage is on the property line. He added that that a height variance is also required. is an accessory use and said that the greenhouse permit should have not been issued originally without a variance. perty in question and contenqed that the De breys failed to meet any of the four standards set forth by the Planning Department to the Board of Appeals and Adjust- ments: the meaning of the ordinance, inasmuch as, if the house is too small, the De breys should build on khe land so that it'does not detract from the value of properties of innocent neighbors; To say that the proposed variance will correct extra: ordinary circumstances applicable to this property is not within the meaning &of the ordinance; injurious to other property in the vicinity; preserve a substantial property right possessed by other properties in the vicinity Elr. Gustafson said that substaritial property rights will not be preserved and that property rights would be detracted. Mr. Gustafson read a letter from Mr. Freder- ick Herfurth and one from Mr. Sam Thorpe, Jr., each stating that in their pro- fessional opinions ' the proposed addition would cause a substantial loss in mone- tary value to the Gisselbeck property and that the loss of light to the Gissel- becks would hinder the'sale of their property. petition which neighbors had signed saying that they would not oppose the family room construction and said that many of these neighbors have now withdrawn their names from the petition. slides of the progress of the work and advised that the only change was that the roof would be higher. energy shortage, the cost of heating. the greenhouse would be. extensive and that they would need a new furnace, Mr. Messerli recalled that when the De breys took their new plans to the Building Department, the plans were approved without reservation. He said that, to the De brey's recollection, nothing was ever said about the.use of the addition. Mr. Messerli said that construction had progressed to a point where the structure has been 90% framed and among other changes, the caws of the house have been cut off adjacent to the deck and the kitchen eating area has been removed and a large hole boarded up. He noted that the De brey's Affidavits of The exist- Mr. Gustafson took issue with the Planning Department that a greenhouse Mr. Gustafson showed snapshots of the pro- 1) This is not the correction of an extraordinary circumstance within 2) 3) The proposed variance will be materially detrimental and 4) The proposed variance will not Mr. Gustafson referred to a Mr. William Messerli, attorney for the De breys, showed He explained that the De breys had found that, with the 9/16/74 have already spent approximately $12,000 on the construction.and materials for- their addition. Mr. llesserli confended that the hardship was not self-imposed and that the De breys have tried to comply with all ordinances. He added that only 20% of their lot will be covered, whereas ordinance allows 25% and that the De breys should have the right to enjoy their property, Mr. Messerli further said that the addition will increase the value of the De brey's property and, therefore, will increase the value of the rest of the area. the four criteria set forth as the basis for consideration of variance requests, and which were mentioned earlier in the meeting by Mr. Gustafson, contending that the hardship was caused by the:De;brey!.s.reliance on their Building Permit. was brought out that Nr. David Runyan had made a study and that his conclusion {gas that in the winter months, the structure would affect: the light of the Gissel- beck houses only two hours each day. He emphasized that there is 22.3 feet be- tween the Gisselbeclc's house and the De brey's garage and said that there is plenty of rpom for gardens and sunlight to reach the Gisselbeck's property. Nesserli read a letter from Ms., Marion Heath of Thorpe Brothers, who had sold the 'house to the De breys in 1968, which letter stated that the addition would greatly enhance the neighborhood. Fritz Branberg who concluded that: hcgher value than the subject; 2) virtue of Toss of priwacy, vie17 or light and air and no change in the 22.3 feet of open area yard space; loss in value nor would the improvement detract from its value; improvevent would enhance the value of the subject and would attain a value con- sistent with three of the four contiguous properties, it being one of the less expensive properties in the blosk; The proposed improvement would be.ben- efieial to the neighborhood,k!ommunity and is essential to the needs of the De brey family. City Attorney Erickson explained that undue hardships and unique circumstances are the only two conditions under which the City can grant a vari- ance. Speaking in opposition to the addition were Mr. James F. Hogg, 4400 Brown- dale Ave., who asked that his,and his wife's names be withdrawn from the petition, and Mr, Warren Maul, 4601 Sunnyside Road, who suggested that Council should be extremely careful in approving changes.in older areas of the city. that the addition is not aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Donald Robertson, 4503 Browndale Ave., and Nrs. Maland Hurr, 4603 Browndale Ave., said that they did not object to the addition. Mrs. Heath said that she already has a buyer who would pay over $100,000 for the Gisselbeck house. Mrs. De brey spoke of the hardship of day-to-day existence and mental stress of living in a house which was under construction for such a long period of time, Mr. Mesqerli reviewed It Mr. Mr. llesserli introduced an independent appraisal of 1) 6500 Browndale Ave. is of considerably There is no encroachment on this property by 3) The 4500 Browndale property would not suffer any 4) The proposed 5) n He objected I 3lr.

He then moved that the hearing be continued to a special meeting to be held on September 26, 1974, in the Conference Room of the Edina City Hall so'that the City Attorney could render an opinion on the questions of what constitutes "undue hardship'! and "unique circumstances'' with respect to the De brey variance petition, and specifically, whether expenses incurred in reliance on a building permit issued to llr. De brey, or the mental anxiety and stress of the De breys, may constitute the requisite "hardship" nec- essary to granting a variance. carried. remainder of the meeting.

Mr. Luce clarified that he had been under the impression that one of the neighbors had opposed the variance but now understands that there are no objections by any of the neighbors.
