RESOLUTION
CITY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA � -rl'
Presented By
Referred To Committee: Date
Whereas, Commercial State Bank made application to the Planning Commission for a change
of non-conforming use for the purpose of operating a catering business pursuant to the provisions of
the Saint Paul Zoning Code for property located at 940 Beech Street, legally described as Lots 28
through 30, Block 107, A. Gotzian's Subdivision; and
Whereas, T'he Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission conducted public hearings on
April 5, May 3 and May 31, 1990, and submitted its recommendation to the Commission. The
Commission, by its Resolution 90-59, decided to approve the application based on the following
findings and conclusions:
1. The property was cleaxly designed for and operated as a heavy commercial
use. It does not appear that the land and building can be reasonably or
econcmically reused for a conforming purpose.
2. The proposed use as a catering facility appears to be "equally appropriate
or more appropriate to the district than the previous nonconforming use".
3. if the use and the access thereto is properly regulated, the proposed use
would be "consistent with the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of
the community".
Whereas, Pursuant to the provisions of Section 64.205, Denise Potting, 923 Beech Street, and
Ann Nadeau, 969 Beech Street, duly filed with the City Clerk an appeal from the determination
made by the Planning Commission, requesting that a hearing be held before the City Council for
the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and
Whereas, Acting pursuant to Sections 64.205 through 64.208, and upon notice to affected
parties a public hearing was duly conducted by the City Council on July 26, 1990 where all
interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and
Whereas, The Council, having heard the statements made, and having considered the
application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Zoning Committee and of
the Planning Commission, does hereby
Resolve, That the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby find and determine that
proper notice of the re-hearing conducted by the Planning Commission was not given in the manner
provided by law; and be it
Further Resolved, that the Council does hereby refer this matter back to the Planning
Commission and its Zoning Committee for the purpose of providing the requisite notice to affected
property owners, conducting of a re-hearing on the application, and to make a determination
whether or not to approve the change of nonconforming use; and be it

Mr. Bill Wilson
President
St. Paul City Council
719 City Hall
St. Paul, MN 55102
Dear Mr. Wilson:
I 'm writing this letter in support of the zoning appeal that
Denise Potting and Ann Nadeau are filing concerning the
property at 940 Beech Street.
The Dayton' s Bluff Community Council vo�ed to support Denise
and An�' s e€forts by assisting them in this appeal process.
The residents"�feel fortunate that citizen participation all�ows
for this apportuni�y to- appeal. _
The reasons for the appeal are as follows:
1. Communication was not maintained. The ball was dropped on
our end by the former CO who was supposed to be working
with Commercial State Bank and the residents on finding
a suitable reuse of the building. There was no evidence
of this file ever existing in our office.
2. The Planning Commission violated its own rules of evidence
by taking testimony after the public hearing. The Zoning
Committee should have not considered the letter of evidence
from Commercial State Bank that led to the Zoning Committee
reversing its initial positioli on the matter.
3. The Planning Commission acted contrary to the wishes of the
community. Nearly half ofi�� the residents that live in a
four block area of 940 Beech have openly expressed the�r
opposition to the nonconforming use permit.
I am requesting that all evidence submitted to the Zoninq Commission
be forwarded to the City Council for further examination.

The meeting was chaired by Gladys Morton, Chairman.
Commercial State Bank. #10611:
Rehearing to consider new evidence presented following the Zoning Committee's
original hearing of a request for a Nonconforming Use Permit.
Mr. McGuire gave a new slide presentation which included pictures from the
inside of the building, and additional information for the staff report. Mr.
McGuire noted several health and safety code violations on the property. He
also noted that the semi-trailer had been removed from the rear of the
premises. McGuire stated in his opinion, reuse of the structure for a
conforming purpose would not be feasible. He also stated that the Small
Business Division of Planning and Economic Development has been working with
the developer on this property acquisition.
Attorney Steve Rau, who is representing Commercial State Bank, the property
owner, addressed the committee stating the bank feels there has been no
discontinuation of nonconforming use. He noted that the bank had been
actively seeking to lease the property since they evicted the last tenant. Mr.
Rau also stated that the bank would suffer a serious financial loss, which
would impose a hardship on them, if some reuse of the property were not
allowed. He also noted that the property has been paying about $9,000 per
year in real estate taxes. Although considerable work would have to be done
to the structure to bring it up to code, the current developer, has agreed to
do this work.
In response to a question from a committee member, Mr. McGuire stated that the
developer had previously testified there would be 12 to 15 deliveries per week
and one-fourth of those deliveries would be from semi-trucks. Hours of
operation for the business would be 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Mr. Vaught stated he would like to consider making restrictions on delivery
hours. Since the developer was not present, Mr. Christenson stated his
frustration in not being able to ask the developer if the restrictions on
delivery hours and type of delivery trucks would be acceptable to the them.
Mr. Neid stated he would like the developer to restrict delivery hours from
7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. , Monday through Friday. Ms . Hirte also stated her
frustration that the developer was not present to give an opinion on the
restrictions.
No one else spoke in support of the petitioner's request.

Susan Omoto, District Four Community Council Representative spoke in
opposition. She re-stated the community's main concern was semi-truck traffic
on the neighborhood streets. The community feels that Beech Street has
carried most of the traffic to this site in the past. Ms. Omoto stated that
Hansons, the developers, did not know about the hearing until two days ago,
and were not able to come today. She stated the bank was not interested in
speaking to other parties Ms. Omoto referred who had interest in the site,
because the bank said the referrals would only offer half of what the property
is worth.
Mr. Rau spoke in rebuttal stating that the bank has a contract with the
Hansons which they must honor until such time as it is clear that their use
will not be allowed on the property. The bank is therefore not in a position
to offer the building to others who might be referred by the interested
neighborhood. Following Mr. Rau's rebuttal, Ms. Morton closed the public
hearing.
Mr. Christenson recommended approval of a Change in Non-Conforming Use based
on findings one through three of the original staff report, subject to the
conditions that the developer prepare a site survey of the existing layout,
provide paving for the gravel parking lot at the rear of the building, and
designated parking spaces for use by tenants, employees, and visitors to the
site. Landscaping and screening are to be provided in accordance with city
standards and specifications. He also recommended that the loading dock area
be used for off-street parking for the upper tenant's vehicle and the
applicant's vehicles. There are to be no more than 25 delivery vehicles
coming to the site per week and no more than six of those deliveries are to be
from semi-trucks. The semi-truck deliveries must be between the hours of 7:00
a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The hours of operation shall be
6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. , Monday through Thursday and until 10:00 p.m. Friday
and 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday. Mr. Vaught seconded the motion.
Mr. McGuire stated that the trash will be stored inside the structure and will
be removed daily. Mr. Christenson stated he does not want to expand the
amount of semi-truck deliveries in excess. Mr. Vaught stated he is generally
opposed to making delivery restrictions but in this case it is not
unreasonable. Mr. Segal stated the discussion was focused on the re-use of
the building as it conforms to use, etc. The first floor probably will not be
converted to housing.
Mr. Vaught stated he has had a personal account with Commercial State Bank but
is unbiased in this issue and will vote.
Ms. Morton stated on a vote of four in favor and three opposing, the Zoning
Committee will recommend approval of the Nonconforming Use Permit to the
Planning Commission on June 8, 1990.

Re: 940 Beech Street
Non-Conforming Use Permit
Dear Ms. Reichert:
This letter is a formal request that the Planning Com�►ission reconsider the
Zoning Coma�►ittee's denial of Co�nercial State Bank's, (CSB) , application for a
non-conforming use permit for the above-referenced property. This letter will
first outline the facts pertinent to CSB's ownership of this property as well
as the property's previous non-conforming use. Then this letter will describe
why the Planning Coc�nission should reconsider CSB's applica.tion and why a
denial of the non-conforming variance would work tm.reasona.ble hardship on CSB.
CSB foreclosed the mortgage which it held on the above-referenced property. On
June 2, 1987, said bank purchased the property at the Sheriff's Foreclosure
Sale. The period of redemption expired December 2, 1987, at which time CSB
became fee owner of the property. On September 9, 1987, subject property wa.s
inspected by Robert Johnson Associates for the purpose of estimating its Fair
Market Value. The appraisal and analysis revealed at that time a Fair Market
Value of $150,000.00
The subject property is loca,ted on the southeast corner of Beech Street and
Forest Street in St. Paul, Minnesota, with about 120 feet on Beech Street and
134 feet on Forest Street. The site comprises 16,000 square feet (120' x
134' ) . The rear 44 feet of the site is open and is a gravel surfaced parking
area. The site also provides a loading and pa.rking area on the front side.
The first floor contains wa.rehouse areas and severa.l areas which are walk-in
type coolers. The older two-story pa.rt of the building contains some open
storage areas and 2 walk-in cooler areas. There is an additiona.l walk-in
cooler which was just storage and not cooled. Ba.sica.11y the remainder of the
first floor area is cooled stora.ge area including a loading dock area, wa.lk-in
cooler area and production area. From the date of acquisition on December 2,
1987 to November 14, 1988, the property was occupied by Reddi Fresh, a fruit
and vegetable distributor. Tenants also occupied the second floor.

On November 1, 1988, CSB engaged a realtor to market the property. On October
24, 1989, Robert Hansen signed a Purchase Agreement for the siun of $135,000.00.
Robert and Susan Hansen own and operate the Professional Ca.tering Service,
(PCS) , presently doing business at 720 Pa.yne Avenue in St. Paul. PCS was
founded in 1972 by the Hansens and has grown from a small coffee shop to a
cafeteria, to a thriving catering service. PCS's present corporate clients
include Group Health, H. B. Flzller, MEA, as well as some state offices.
Mr. Hansen and CSB have applied for city garticipation in financing the acqui-
sition and rehabilita.tion of the building for the Hansens. Over the past year
we have worked diligently with Mr. Craig 0'Brien, of St. Paul's Depa.rtment of
Planning and Economic Development, to successfully cons��a.te this transaction.
A failure to approve CSB's application for a non-conforming use would result in
substantial financial loss and would work an unreasonable hardship on CSB. For
example, as the attached letter from Robert Johnson Associates illustrates,
complying with existing zoning and use requirements is not economica.11y
feasible. The use of this property in its current state is the onl logical
and economic use of the property.
More specifica.11y, two irrefuta,ble facts support CSB's position. First, the
cost of tearing down the present structure and converting it to a multi-
residential or single family housing units would not be realized in the sub-
sequent sale price of those units; the present residential real estate market
for the area involved. clearly illustrates the non-viability of this alter-
na.tive. Second, CSB has marketed this building for over two ears and the
present buyer, who requires a non-conforming use of the property, has been the
only viable buyer for this property. Indeed, since the structure was built on
the property, its use historically has been non-conforming. The residents of
the neighborhood have indicated that they have suffered a hardship due to
previous occupants of the property. Our position is that the proposed occupant
is substantially different in nature and would become a vibrant addition to the
area.
Neighborhood opposition to the proposed non-conforming use seems to be premised
entirely on past experiences with Anderson Meats. These past experiences,
however, concern a heavy co�nercial use of the property which contrasts with
the present proposed catering business. This potential buyer has expressed a
willingness to comply with all of the Zoning Committee's Staff Report Recom-
mendations. This buyer also will not be utilizing the heavy, semi-tractor
trailers as frequently, as CSB's previous tenant, Reddi Fresh, did. Any
deliveries to the proposed buyer's business would be during regular working
hours and would cease by 6:00 p.m.

Contrary to the neighborhood opposition to CSB's non-conforming use appli-
cations, the Zoning Committee's Sta.ff issued the following findings:
1) The land and building cannot be used economically for a conforming
purpose.
2) The proposed use as a catering facility is more appropriate than
the previous heavy con�nercial non-conforming use.
3) Rather than rebuilding or leaving the land and building vacant,
the proposed use would be consistent with the health, safety,
morals, and general welfaxe of the com�mmity.
4} Lastly, the use and access, if properly regulated., would be
consistent with the reasonable use and enjoyment of ad,jacent
property.
These findings are consistent with Section 62.10 Z (5) and (11) of the St. Paul
Zoning Code.
In conclusion, CSB respectfully requests that the Planning Commission
reconsider the Zoning Co�ittee's recommended. denial of CSB's applica.tion for a
non-conforming use permit at 940 Beech Street. In the alterna.tive, if the
Planning Commission will not reconsider the Zoning Com�nittee's recomanended
denial, then CSB respectfully requests that the ma.tter proceed to hearing
before the City Council.
Very truly yours,

the Land Use Committee's recc _ iisted in the Dayton's Bluff
Council memo dated April 26, . �and Use Committee passed approval
based on the property being a ,,.�� non-conforming use. Ms . Omotto stated the
two most important concerns are numbers two and six on the memo. She also
stated there was a communication breakdown between the neighborhood residents
and the previous community organizer. Apparently there was no file created on
this property. Ms. Omotto stated the neighbors do not want semi-truck traffic
generated. Mr. Neid asked if the neighbors had filed any complaints about the
previous business on this property. Ms . Omotto stated she did not know since
there was no file kept, but the City staff told her this was an issue before.
Ms. Hirte asked Ms. Omotto if the issue of semi-truck traffic was discussed at
the full council meeting. Mr. Omotto stated, no.
Ms. Denise Potting of 932 Beech St. addressed the committee in opposition to
the proposal. She had posters and photographs for the committee' s review.
She stated that Ms. Hanson, the applicant, told her they would push forward to
obtain this property for the purpose of expanding their business and they
expect to reach $1,000,000 this year. Ms. Potting' s concern is the potential
for expansion of the business including the increased number of deliveries and
the increase of semi-trucks on the neighborhood streets at late hours of the
night. She is also concerned about the increased on-street parking problem.
She suggested alternative uses for the property: green space, homes , 24-hour
day-care center, senior citizen center, or a three-plex residence. Ms .
Potting stated there is a preschool nearby in a church and a day-care center
at 919 Beech St. with approximately 60 children plus the residents` children,
who would all be endangered by the semi-truck traffic. There is only one lane
of traffic on the street. Ms. Potting stated she did not file a complaint
about the previous business because she did not think anything could be done
about it since it was legal. However, now that the building is vacant, the
residents decided it was the correct time to take opposition. �

Ms. Anna Nadeau of 969 Beech Street addressed the committee in opposition to
the proposal. Her concerns are the semi-truck traffic on the street,
residents' car damage and property damage caused by the trucks, trucks
blocking the school bus stop, blockage of the fire hydrant, and the rat
problem caused by meat. She also stated the neighborhood lost six parking
spaces because the semi-trucks needed the space to maneuver. She stated
support of the idea for another day-care center to serve the 3M employees in
the neighborhood. Mr. Neid asked if any complaints were filed to the City
regarding previous sidewalk damage to neighbor's property. Ms. Nadeau stated,
no.
Applicant Ms. Bobbi Hanson and her father Mr. Bob Hanson, who are the owners
and operators of the catering service, addressed the committee. Ms. Hanson
stated they own four, gasoline operated vehicles, the largest being a cube
van. Any additional vehicles purchased would be vans. There are 12-15
deliveries per week, one-fourth are from semi-trucks. Delivery hours are 6:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday hours would be 10:00 a.m. until 11:00
p.m. ; the business will not be open on Sunday. In regard to number six on the
list of Land Use recommendations, Ms. Hanson stated they would need to go
through normal insurance procedures, and would not be able to pay for any
damage up front. She also stated there are fourteen off-street parking spaces
behind the building, there is a garage in front of the building for the
tenants upstairs and another spot behind the garage. There is plenty of space
near the loading dock to park the business vehicles. Ms . Hanson stated their
business is presently on Payne Avenue and she wishes to keep the business on
the east side of Saint Paul since most of her employees are from the east
side.
Ms. Hanson stated her present filter system meets all the health and safety
codes required, but she could not meet request number five for a filter
system to control cooking odors. (The only odors are from fresh baked bread
and rolls. ) Mr. Hanson stated all the trash would be stored inside the trash
room. If the business grows , the amount of supplies would increase with each
delivery, but the deliveries would only increase to 20-25 deliveries per week.
Mr. Neid asked about the number of current employees . Ms. Hanson stated there
are 13 full-time employees working from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday
through Friday. Ms. Hanson stated she is agreeable to surfacing the parking
lot in the back of the building.

Ms. Morton closed the public hearing. Mr. McGuire stated large trucks are
required to stay on main "hall routes" but then may use the shortest possible
route, including a residential street to reach their destination. There
should not be any blocking of residential streets, and there should be no
trucks lined up on the street waiting to deliver. Mr. Segal stated the
committee could not condition the permit regarding truck routes to the
business. Mr. McGuire stated there is a vacant residential apartment on the
second floor, but it is not economically feasible to convert the first floor
to apartments . No expansion to the second floor or outside the footprint of
the building would be allowed under the non-conforming use permit. Mr.
Christenson moved to deny the permit, based on a finding that the developer
had not demonstrated unreasonable hardship or economic infeasibility of
reusing the existing structure for a conforming purpose. Ms. Hirte seconded
the motion. Ms. Morton stated on a vote of six in favor, two opposing, the
Zoning Committee will recommend to the Planning Commission on May 11, 1990
denial of the non-conforming use permit.

FILE #10611
1. APPLICANT: Commercial State Bank DATE OF HEARING: 4/5/90
2. CLASSIFICATION: Nonconforming Use Permit
3. LOCATION: 940 Beach Street, (southeast corner of Beach & Forest)
4. PLANNING DISTRICT: FOUR
S. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lots 28-30, Adam Gotzian's Subdivision of Block 107, Lyman
Dayton's Addition.
6. PRESENT ZONING: RT-1 ZONING CODE REFERENCE: §62.102. (e) (5)
7. STAFF INVESTIGATION AND REPORT: DATE: March 23, 1990 BY: Charles L. McGuire
A. PURPOSE: To consider a request for a Nonconforming Use Permit (NCUP) to permit
use of the existing structure for a catering business.
B. PARCEL SIZE: The parcel has 120 feet of frontage on Beach Street and 134 feet
of frontage on the east side of Forest Street. The area of the parcel is 16,080
square feet.
C. EXISTING LAND USE: The property is presently occupied by a vacant structure
which was most recently used in a fruit and vegetable distribution business.
The site was at one time used as a meat processing plant.
D. SURROUNDING LAND USE:
North: Mixed density housing on land zoned RT-l.
East: Single and two-family housing on RT-1 zoned land.
South: Single and two-family housing on RT-1 zoned land,
West: Mixed density housing on land zoned RT-l.
E. ZONING CODE CITATION: §62.102. (e) (S) states that "when a nonconforming use of a
structure, or structure and land in combination, is discontinued or ceases to
exist for three hundred sixty five (365) days, the structure, or structure and
land in combination, shall thereafter be used in conformance with the regulation
of the district in which it is located, unless the planning commission pursuant
to a public hearing, finds that the structure, or structure and land in
combination, cannot reasonably or economically be used for a conforming purpose,
that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district
than the previous nonconforming use, and that the proposed use is consistent
with the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community and is
consistent with the reasonable use and enjoyment of adjacent property. Where a
nonconforming use of a structure, land, or structure and land in combination is
. � q� '/y�U
File #10611
Page Two.
hereafter changed to a more restrictive classification, it shall not thereafter
be changed by the planning commission to a less restrictive classification under
this clause.
F. HISTORY: The existing structure was used by Peters Packing Co. during the early
1960's and was a legal nonconforming use of property at that time. In 1961, a
request for expansion of the nonconforming use was denied by the city. The most
recent use of the property as noted above was for vegetable processing. Area
neighbors have complained to the zoning office since notice of the public
hearing went out that "heavy trucks, semi-trailer trucks have been a problem
with the most recent use of the property.
F. FINDINGS:
l. The property was clearly designed for and operated as a heavy commercial
use. It does not appear that the land and building can be reasonably or
economically reused for a conforming purpose.
2. The proposed use as a catering facility appears to be " . . .equally
appropriate or more appropriate to the district than the previous
nonconforming use. . ." .
3. If the use and the access thereto is properly regulated, the proposed use
would be " . . .consistent with the health, safety, morals, and general welfare
of the community. . ." .
4. If the use and access is property regulated it would be " . . .consistent with
the reasonable use and enjoyment of adjacent property. . ." .
G. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above suggested findings, staff recommends
approval of the request for a nonconforming use permit subject to conditions as
follows:
1. A site survey and a complete site plan be prepared showing the layout of the
existing buildings and open areas on the site.
2. The gravel parking area at the rear of the buildings be surfaced for
off-street parking and loading area, and the storage of trucks, trailers,
and refuse in this area be discontinued.
3. That adequate landscaping and screening be provided in and around the
parking areas to protect adjacent residential property.

Re: Property located at 940 Beech St. , St Paul, Mn
Dear Ms Morton:
Relative to the reestablishing a non conforming commercial use of the
building located at 940 Beech St., St Paul, Mn the following factors
must be considered before this change is approved:
1. There will again b e large trucks including semi tractor
trailers using facilities for delivery.
2. This site cannot accomodate these trucks because of the
relatively narrow street and curbs.
3. Past experience has illustrated a complete blocking of Beech
street while these trucks maneuver or wait for delivery.
4. This blocking of the street presents a very serious safety
hazard as emergency vehicles cannot get through.
5. On one occasion, two years ago , a para-med emergency vehicle
was required to back all the way to Cypress street in order to
get through with his very sick patient. Beech street was com-
pletely blocked with a semi-tractor trailer.
6. The noise is intolerable both day and night with these heavy
trucks, particularly those with refrigeration equipment.
7. The lawns and sidewalks are always driven upon while they
are attempting to back into the loading dock.
8. Parking is already tight on Beech Street as several parking
spaces are "signed" No Parking toaccomodate the trucks.
9. The exhause fumes from the trucks permeate into surrounding
homes during the summer months making living conditions
INTOLERABI.E.
10. The maintenance of areas surrounding the building has been
much tobe desired and certainly does not meet therequirements
of the City of St Paul.
11. This building has served its purpose the past 80 years and
should be torn down to make way for progress in the Daytons
Bluff area as a truly residential area.
The following names, address and signatures attest to the above.
