1 . Approval of the minutes of the March 13, 1990 meeting as
submitted in writing.
Corrections to the minutes as follows :
Page 4, under PROCEEDINGS. Line 7, after the word "KITCHEN"
delete the word "FROM" and insert the word "FOR" , on the
same line after the word "THIRD" insert the word "FLOOR" and
change the word "EXIT" to "EXITING" . On line 8, after the
word "OUTSIDE" delete the word '•AROUND" and insert the word
,�AT,�.
On page 5 under BOARD ACTION after the word "VARIANCE"
insert "ON INSTALLING A SECOND EXIT FROM THE THIRD FLOOR" .
1
Oouglas Ktng - Mr. King requested ta address the Bo�rd
about 750 Btair Avenue who was the Appellant last month.
"Mr. King stated that the wording under PROCEEDINGS that
you just went over, I talked with her a couple of times
about that. You know if you look down to the end of the
paragraph, the last sentences, on page 4 middle of the
paragraph, change that whole sentence. If you look at the
last sentence in that paragraph it said much clearer the
same thing, the same exit, it just, I don't know maybe you
could use just that same sentence, the wording in the middle
of the paragraph, gets a little wordy there, and it's said
much clearer there at the end of the paragraph, and if you
just insert after the word third floor, the sentence would
read "The interior stairs goes from the third floor in
kitchen to qround level without goin4 thru another
apartment. " is very simply said right there.
Ron Glassman - Did you take this off of the transcript?
Doualas Kina - She was trying to take the first corrected
sentence from the transcript, and my wording just wasn't
very concise at that point, but down at the bottom that is
the exit we are talking about.
Ron Glassman - Did in fact, the City go back out and reinspect
this?
Qoualas Kina - Sue did not come out, somebody else came.
Ron Glassman - You are coming back next month on that?
Douqlas King - I am.
Ron Giassman - What is the difference, what the semantics say
here? As long as the rneaning is here. I think we all understand
what the meaning is.
Douglas King - I think ah,
Ron Glassman - Am I correct, we know what the meaning is here, we
know what we are trying to do, as far as semantics, I don't think
that's too important.
2
. . ��yo-��i.s�
Douglas King - I think it has to be cleared, in case this
goes to some other arena. Also, the general sense, I think,
of the whole reading of this matter would be cieared up or
made clearer if another paragraph were inserted. (At this
point Mr. King passed out a copy of what he thought should
be inserted. ) Which said - "After Mr. King stated that both
stair exits (the interior stair well and the new exterior
deck and stairs) from the third floor are from the kitchen,
Sue Toskey did not make an issue of the remoteness of the
exits . She said " I had no idea you were going to say you
had two exits, because if you had two exits, I don't know
what you're even doing here"
Ron Glassman - It's because of this that she is going out to see
it again, so this is ridiculous.
Douglas King - Sir, this it's like you saying to somebody,
who just sold you a pair of shoes , Well Sir, you sold me one
pair of shoes, one shoe, when the fact is, I was honest, I
told everything, I sold you both pair of shoes and I think
it wouid just make the whole scenario much clearer.
Ron Glassman - I have no idea, I can't remember what I did
yesterday, let alone what some one said verbatim a month ago, so
I don't know of, in fact, she said this or not. I can't say, I want
this added to the minutes on my behaif, because I don't know if
she said it.
Dou4las Kinq - my issue, then would be the summary, as it is
written, is not inclusive of some other important items.
Ron Glassman - I don't know, the Fire Department cited it.
You are going to be back here next month, what's the difference?
I also think we are wasting all this time here. You're coming
back here next month. The basis minutes say what we wanted em to
say. Anyone here have any objections, what the minutes say, or
want to make any changes?
Robert Vierinq - he is coming back next month!
Ron Glassman - Yes, he is coming back next month away. Anything
you want c eared up, will be cteared up then.
Douglas King - I would hope the Board would try to achieve
as concise and accurate information in there notes as
possible. I would like to make one comment then, on the
new addition that I haven't seen before on Page 5,
BOARD ACTION by adding that "Motion made to deny the
variance on instailing a second exit on the third fioor,
that could be construed that I can never go into be
permitted to install a second exit. "
3
Ron Glassman - No, No,
Douglas King - There could be a better way to word it!
Ron Glassman - But, that's the way she, Come on back next month.
� We will take care of it then. This is the way his motion was
stated. I assume Jo. you took that out of the tape, those words.
Thats the way he stated it and thats the way it was voted on.
We are talking about screwy semantics here. Lets work it out
next month when you come back.
James Laughiin - We denied the variance because the exit was
already there, isn't that what we thought!
Ron Glassman - Well , there was some question as to whether it was
in the right place. and whether is was correct or not and that is
why we said without another further fee, we said, lets deny it
now, lets have the city go back out there with you, have another
look at it, and give you, your chance to come back without paying
another fee and that's basically what we did.
Douglas King - You denied it, because you thought I didn't
need it, and this paragraph by Sue, that I am adding, that I
would suggest be added, gives the information that Sue, did
not make the REMOTENESS an issue, and led you to deny it and
didn't think it important, when now in fact, comes back and
says its important.
Ron Glassman - Well , she didn't know, she hasn't seen it. Bring
this paragraph next month.
Dougias King - I 'm done.
Ron Glassman - Does anyone on this Board want to make a motion,
that Mr. King's appearance last month be changed any other way?
There being none. Chairman GLassman then asked if anyone on the
Board would like to make a motion that the minutes with Jo's
correction be approved as submitted?
Motion made by Robert Viering to approve the minutes of the March
13, 1990 as submitted in writing with the corrections. Seconded
by James Laughlin. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

2. CASE HEARINGS:
CASE NO: PROPERTY APPEALED APPELLANT
29-90-R 1897 LaCrosse Rve Dennis G. Olson
(4 units)
APPEARANCE: Dennis Olson
SUBJECT: Appellant is requesting a variance from the requirement
of having to disconnect rainleaders, as it will cause basement
flooding and would be very costly.
PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Olson stated that he was not aware that the
building was not in compliance. The building was purchased in
December of 1986. At that time the leader from the roof had been
routed out to the lawns, I had no idea to even question
anything, then last fall I got a letter from the City indictating
that I was not in compliance with code on the gutters that are
down at the bottom of the driveway. This area is solid
concrete an area 10 ft by 100 ft, and beyond that, going to the
boulevard, we have the sidewalk and the area between that is
asphalt. What the City is requesting to be done is to disconnect
the drains and come up with some alternative to deal with the
water. At one point the suggestions was made that I could pay
the annual amount for the treatment of the water. which I am
willing to do. The rough quote was not in excess of probably a
couple hundred dollars a year. Since then. the city denied me that
and wanted me to disconnect. If I disconnect, the way the
building is, obviously the basements and the garages would be
completely flooded everytime there was rain. The only other
option that I have, is to disconnect those and put in some sort of
a sump mechanism to collect the water. which means I wouid have
to tear up the majority of the driveway that is there.
If you observe the building it is substantialiy up in the air and
the ground descends ail the way around the building.
Ron Ankeny, asked Mr. Herbert if he could come up with a
suggestion for Mr. OLson.
Steve Herbert, from the Rainleader Division stated that the only
suggestion that he could come up with is , that the Appellant
connect to the storm sewer.
5
Steve Herbert stated that the Appeliant. in all probability, would
have to dig up the middle of the two driveways at the bottom, and
then run a line to the two catch basins, and then run a line out
to the storm sewer, or could run one to the catch basins if they
are deep enough. .
Chairman Glassman asked, What would the cost be?
Steve Herbert, stated in the driveway about $90.00 a foot, for a
total cost of about 6 or 7 thousand dotlars.
BOARD ACTION: Motion made by Ron Ankeny to grant a variance from
the requirement of having to disconnecting the rainleaders.
Seconded by Robert Viering. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Steve Herbert asked Mr. Ankeny if he would piease state the
reason that he is granting the variance.
Mr. Ankeny stated that he feels it is unreasonable to expect this
Appellant to pay the cost, I feel this is a real hardship.
Steve Herbert informed the Board that 40% of the commercial
owners within the City of St. Paul get cost, if not greater, equal
to what he is being asked to pay. If this Board starts giving
variances on commercial property. then we are looking for
trouble.
Robert Viering stated that his feeting on this is, that if the
City feels that this is a potential problem, then the City should
look into some alternatives to help the owners to do this.
Steve Herbert, stated that there is a agency, which a owner
could contact, that is PED.
Robert Viering stated that he is very familiar with PED program,
and that is, borrowing half the money at a good rate, the
problem is borrowing the other haif at market rates.
Ron Glassman stated that at the beginning of the rainleader
program, persons from the Rainieader Division informed this board
that they should feel free to give a variance only if it is a
real hardship.

. � � � qo-//.So
�S-�U-H lU� Clevel+�nd Ave. So. Mi �haei M�rinavich
(��1 un�i t)
APPEARANCE : Michael Marinovich
SUBJECT: Appellant is requesting a variance from code on the
following items; Items #1 - Cellar sleeping rooms have
insufficient natural light, #2 - Cellar sleeping room egress
window wells of insufficient size, #3 - Cellar rooms have
insufficient ceiling height, #4 - Cellar livingroom has
insufficient natural light and ventilation. An extension of time
is requested on Items #5 - No handrail for stairway from cellar
to the first floor , #8 - repair or remove dilapidated garage.
Inspection letter date February 9, 1990.
PROCEEDINGS: Appellant stated on Item #1 regarding insufficient
light, that there is 6 sq. ft. of window area. When this window
was installed, appellant was informed that it was according to
code.
Carolyn Sheppard, from Public Heaith stated that the Code
requires 8 sq. ft. in the cellar, minimum, otherwise 8 percent
of the floor area. 'T'he rooms were not measured, because there
was a question as to whether it was being operated as a
roominghouse, because there was more than four persons unrelated
living there. It is my understanding the the Appellant has an
agreement with zoning, that by June 1 , 1990 the number of
occupants be reduced to only four unrelated persons.
Michael Marinovich, Item # 2 egrees window wells, these windows
measure 2 1/2 feet out and 8 inches on either side. I believe
the code is 3 feet on either side. I believe the window is very
sufficient for an egress window.
Carolyn Sheppard, it has been generaily accepted in the case of
casement windows.
Item #3 - insufficient ceiling height, the Appellant stated
he installed a drop ceiling that rest on the underside of the
plumbing to provide a maximum height, which is about 6'6" to
6'9", code is 7ft. Appellant has no idea how to solve this
problem.
Ron Ankeny stated that maybe if the pipes were exposed, then
maybe the ceiling height would be o.k.
Carolyn Sheppard stated that she did not believe that the
ceilings in the basement were that high.
Item #4 - Ceilar LR insufficient light and ventilation, the two
windows in the livingroom measure 4.5 sq. ft. and they open 1009L.
From the ventilation standpoint the appellant feels the light and
ventilation is sufficie�t.
7
Carolyn Shepard stated that it definitely does not have
sufficient light and ventilation.
Item #5 - handrail missing on stairway to cellar, Appellant will
do the work, he just needs more time at least 30 days.
Item #8 - repair or removed dilapidated garage. Appellant will do
the work, but would like at least 150 days to do the work.
Item #6 - Appellant needs clarification as to where the smoke
detectors should be. There are two in the basement, two on the
main floor and one upstairs.
Jim Laughlin - Are they interconnected?
Michael Marinovich - No, they are battery operated. The appellant
stated that he will do what he has to do to make the house safe.
Where does one get information as to what is code?
Jim Laughlin stated that the Appellant call the Housing and
Building Code Office.
Ron Ankeny asked the Appellant if he had a building permit at the
time he remodeled the house.
Mr. Marinovich told the Board that he did not have a permit.
Ron Ankeny asked if this is a two level house with a basement,
and that there wi11 be people down in the basement. I guess the
problem is, this does not meet the code, in terms of habitable
space, because of the ceiling heights. Ventilation seems to be
sufficient. I believe you are not to have people in the
basement. Is that not correct?
Ron Glassman asked Carolyn Sheppard what she thought in general
about the basement?
Carolyn Sheppard informed the Board that the Appellant had done a
very nice job remodeling, except it does not meet code.
Jim Laughlin stated that the Smoke Detectors must be
interconnected.
BOARD ACTION: Motion made by Ron Ankeny to grant a variance on
cellar sleeping room light and ventilation, cellar sleeping room
egree window size, cellar rooms ceiling height and ceilar
livingroom natural light and ventilation. In addition give an
extension of time for 30 days (June 1 , 1990) to install handrails
on cellar stairs and 150 days (October 1 , 1990) to remove garage,
with the understanding that the garage be secured so it is safe
from children. Seconded by Robert Viering. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.

. . � � �yo-,�.�o
Mr. Ankeny would like it stated in the minutes why the variances
were given, because the life saftey item pertaining to the egrees
window meets code.

7-90-F 596 Portland Ave. Raymond Heichel
(4 units)
APPEARANCE: Harlan Heichel 8 Raymond Heichel
SUBJECT: Appeilant is requesting a variance on
Stove/Refrigerators in four rooms; tight furniture storage on
third itoor and house repair material to be stored in basement.
PROCEEDINGS: Harlan Heichel wants a variance on the sleeping
rooms to be ailowed to leave the stove and refrigerators in these
rooms.
Pat Fish, from Department of Fire and Safety stated that it was
very difficult to clarify exactly what Mr. Heichel needs.
He is before the board today, because of what he has. Presently.
he has a five unit apartment building, because he has kitchens
inside of the sleeping rooms, but has a shared bath. In order to
make it a legal five unit building, he would have to add a bath
inside each �nit, then he would have to go to the Zoning Board
for approvai for a five unit apartment. The other way he could
go (which Mr. Heichel insists he has) is four sleeping rooms and
his own unit. Ms. Fish has observed five units, plus an extra
unit in the attic. The four units on the second floor do share
one bathroom What Mr. Heichel would like (at least thats the way
he explained it to Ms. Fish) he wo�ld like a variance from the
Board so as not to have to remove the kitchens out of the
sieeping rooms and still remain sleeping rooms. Then Mr. Heichel
would not (by law) have to have a Certificate of Occupancy and
not have a license for rooming and boarding. Ms. Fish did
explain to Mr. Heichel that he would have to discontinue the use
of the attic.
Ron Glassman, stated that the Board cannot grant a variance on
stove and refrigerator in a sleeping room, maybe this issue
should be before Zoning first.
Ms. Fish stated that if the Board were to give him a variance
on the stove and refrigerator then Mr. Heichel would not have to
go before Zoning, because it would not be a rooming house, but a
single family house.
Chairman Glassman stated that if we allow stoves and
refrigerators in the sleeping rooms then the Board is
,�eo3ardizing the Zoning law.
Mr. Heichel stated that the rooms were in existince before that
law came into effect.
9
Chairman Glasman, informed the Appellant that most of the
violations are because laws do change.
Mr. Heichel stated that the house has been in the present state
since 1930. Mr. Heichel purchased the building in 1964.
Ms. Fish informed the Board that she is not recommending that the
house remain as is, even as a single family home Ms. Fish has
observed some electric, smoke detectors not working and some
border line unsanitary conditions that constitute a hazard in
there proximity to the stoves. Ms. Fish is very concerned about
the safety to the occupants.
Ms. Fish has discouraged Mr. Heichei from renting out the units,
and tried to convince him that this was not a good situation.
There is furniture on the third floor, but the day that Ms. Fish
was there for the inspection, she observed no one in the third
floor unit.
Ed Kral , one of the occupants would like to have the variance
granted because he wants to remain living there.
Ron Glassman stated that the Appeilant should go to Zoning for
clarification. then if need be the Appellant could come back to
the Appeats Board for a variance on a share bath situation, if
need be. Am I correct in what I 'm assuming?
Ron Glassman stated that if the board were to grant a variance on
aliowing the stove and refrigerator to remain in the sleeping
rooms this would be a single family house with the right to rent
rooms, therefore, no future inspections.
Ron Ankeny, stated that this does not meet the requirement of a
single family home, not with the five kitchens, I believe this
case should be sent to the Board of Zoning.
BOARD ACTION: Motion made by Ron Glassman to deny the request for
a variance to allow a stove and refrigerator in the sleeping
room, with the condition that the Appellant go before the Board
of Zoning to allow 5 apartment units, then Appellant be allowed
to return to this Board for further review to request a variance
on shared baths, if necessary.
