(2) The above-ground pool measures 24 feet by 16 feet and given the size of the back yard and the location of the garage and driveway it does not appear possible to meet the setback requirements for a pool of this size , even if it were moved to another part of the back yard. (3) The neighboring house to the south is set at the rear of its lot and is approximately 12 feet away from the pool . The house has one window directly facing the pool . There is a chain link fence and shrubs which partially screen the pool along the property line between the neighboring house and the pool .

(4) The plight of the applicant is not due to circumstances unique to his property as the lot is a typical 40 foot wide lot with a garage at the back. ( 5) The pool was installed without the required City permit. If the applicant had applied for a permit, he would have been told that the pool did not meet the setback requirements . (6) The hardship is self-created in that the applicant attempted to put in a pool that is too big for the property and did not check with the City about setback requirements . (7) The proposed variance does not meet the intent of the Zoning Code to provide a reasonable distance between swimming pools and neighboring property and will therefore unreasonably diminish the value of the neighboring house. The problem of the reduced setback is made worse by the fact that the pool is next to the neighboring house. (8) The variance , if granted, would not permit any use that is not permitted in the zoning district where the property is located. (9) The request for a variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the property. WHEREAS , United Merchandising Company, 1500 Jackson Street , N.E . , Minneapolis , Minnesota, 55413 , filed with the City Clerk its appeal from the determination made by the Board of Zoning Appeals in this matter and requested that a hearing be held before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Board; and WHEREAS , acting pursuant to Sections 64. 205 through 64.208 , and upon notice to the appellant and other affected property owners , a public hearing was duly conducted by the City Council on August 4, 1988 where all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS , the City Council did conduct a public hearing on the appeal on August 4, 1988 , at which time no person appeared on behalf of the owner of the property or the appellant ; and 2 .

RE: Zoning File #10342 - Duane Simpson City Council Hearing: Thursday. Au�ust 4, 1988 PURPOSE: To consider an appeal of a decision by the Board of Zoning Appeals to deny a setback variance for an above-ground swimming pool. The pool was installed earlier this year without a permit. It is 4' from the side property line. The Zoning Code requires a 10' setback. BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS DECISION: Deny (5-0) June 28, 1988 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny SUPPORT: None OPPOSITION: 4 people spoke at the public hearing and 1 letter was received. Dear Sir: On June 28, 1988 the Board of Zoning Appeals voted to deny a variance to reduce the required setback from 10' to 4' for an above-ground swimming pool at 1638 Fernwood. The BZA found that the hardship was self-created since the pool was installed without getting a permit or checking about City requirements. The BZA also found that the variance did not meet the intent of the Zoning Code because of the proximity of the pool to the neighboring house. The appeal is scheduled to be heard by the City Council on August 4, 1988. Please contact me by August 3 if any Councilmember would like slides presented at the public hearing.

PAUL, MINNESOTA, JUNE 28, 1988 PRE : Mme. Maddox; Messrs. Grais, Osborn, Woods, and Zimniewicz of the Board of Zoning Appeals; Mr. Sullivan, Assistant City Attorney; Ms. Lane of the Division of Building Inspection and Design; Mr. Beach, Ms. Synstegaard and Mr. Ryan of the Planning Division Staff. ABSE Messrs. Kirk and Horak. The meeting was chaired by Sam Grais, Chairman. DUANE SIMPSON [#10311) : Side yard setback variance for swimming pool. The applicant was present. There was opposition present at the hearing. Mr. Beach showed slides of the site and reviewed the staff report with a recommendation for denial. One letter was received in opposition. Mr. Grais asked whose responsibility is it to obtain a permit. Mr. Beach replied that it is generally the responsibility of the contractor to obtain a permit. Mr. Zimniewicz stated that in addition to the pool being too close to the • property line it is also too close to the apartment building. Matt Olson, 1500 Jackson Street, of United Merchandising representing the applicant stated that his company was obligated to obtain a permit. He started the job while in progress and there was a misunderstanding. He stated that it is only a matter of 6' . He spoke to the neighbor next door and she stated that she did not mind the pool being there. He stated his company is willing to put up a 6' privacy fence which should eliminate water splashing on her property and cut the noise back. �Ir. Zimniewicz asked Mr. Olson if the pool was 6' high, Mr. Olson replied yes. Mr. Zimniewicz stated that a 6' privacy fence would not do any good. Mr. Olson stated that he does not understand how being another 6' away from the property line would cut down the noise. Mr. Grais asked Mr. Olson if there was a way he could cut the size of the pool. Mr. Olson stated that that was the pool Mr. Simpson ordered. Hr. Grais asked why United Merchandising didn't put the pool in the center of Mr. Simpson's back yard closer to the house. Mr. Olson replied that he did no� know 8s he came into the job when it was already started. Mr. Grais asked if Mr. Olson if Mr. Simpson had paid for his pool yet, Mr. Olson replied that Mr. Simpson had paid in full. Mr. Olson stated that it would cost Mr. Simpson $2,000 if they had to move the pool and $1,000 to remove it. � . � . . ��_,�� File #10311 Page T�o Geraldine Larson, 1633 Fernwood, asked Mr. Olson which neighbor he spoke to that did not mind the pool being where it is. Mr. Olson asked if she was the neighbor closest to the pool. Ms. Larson replied yes and that she had never spoken to Mr. Olson. Mr. Olson asked Ms. Larson if she was the owner, Ms. Larson replied yes. Mr. Olson asked Ms. Larson if Mr. Beach spoke to her, Ms. Larson replied yes. Mr. Olson asked Ms. Larson if she stated to Mr. Beach that she didn' t mind the pool being there. Ms. Larson stated that when she spoke to Mr. Beach she told him that she didn't know what the noise factor would be from the pool. Since that time however, the Simpson's used their pool last Saturday from 1 A.M. to 2 P.M. and the noise was incredible. i�Ir. Osborn asked Ms. Larson if she ob�ected to the pool being there, Ms. Larson replied yes. She stated that they excavated to put in the pool and piled the dirt behind it which is almost as high as the pool and there are weeds growing out of it. Her main objection is that it is dangerous. The Simpson's yard is not fenced in and there are a lot of small children in the neighborhood. She stated that the property is now an eye sore and has decreased her property value. She stated that the pool is 13' from her bedroom window. Mr. Olson stated to Ms. Larson that he was under the impression that she did not mind the pool being there. Beth West� 1235 W. Idaho, stated that her home is located at the end of the alley. Their Y►ome looks right at the back of Mr. Simpson's pool. She stated that she objects to the pool being there because of the noise, visual aspect and the safety with young children. Donald Lark, 1629 Fernwood, stated that his bedroom windows faces Mr. Simpson's pool. He stated that the pool is set so high that when they are on their deck they are looking down at their home. The yard is not fenced in and looks dangerous to him with all the small children in the neighborhood. Scott Batcher, 1641 Fernwood, stated that the property is unsupervised for 12 to 15 hours a day and he is concerned for the safety of his children. The pool is an eye sore. Since the Simpson's have moved into their home they have done nothing to improve it but put in a pool. He is concerned if the pool will be kept up and maintained and of the noise level. The Simpson's come home late at night and the noise never ceases from their property. Fo�tunately for them the weather has been hot so they have had their air conditioning on so it drowns out the noise. When they do not have their air conditioning on and have their windows open the noise level from Mr. Simpsan's home is very bad. " . Mr. Woods asked if Mr. Simpson is expected at the meeting. Mr. Beach replied that Mr. Olson is representing Mr. Simpson. Hearing no further testimony, Mr. Grais closed the public portion of the meeting. � File #10311 ��/�`� ' Page Three Mr. Zimniewicz made a motion to deny the variance and resolution until it can meet the Zoning Code and until positive protection from noise, beautification and safety is provided. Ms. Maddox seconded the motion, which passed on a roll call vote of 5 to 0.
