WHEREAS , Richard Cammack, 715 Linwood Avenue , Saint Paul ,
Minnesota, applied to the Planning Commission of the City of
Saint Paul for a Nonconforming Use permit under the provisions
of Section 62. 102, subd. 5(11 ) for the purpose of establishing
a legal nonconforming status as a tri-plex on property described
as the south one-half of Lots 1 , 2 and 3 , Block 1 Bryant ' s
Park Addition, and described as 203-205 So. Chatsworth and
989 Linwood Avenue; and
WHEREAS , the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission
held public hearings on this application on March 17th and
May 5, 1988 , at which all interested persons were given an
opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS , the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on
evidence presented to the Zoning Committee at the public hearings
mentioned above and by its Resolution No. 88-25 adopted May
13 , 1988 , denied the application for Nonconforming Use permit
based upon the findings that the applicant and application
did not meet and conform to the following requirements as set
forth in Section 62. 102 of the Zoning Code :
(1 ) The subject property is zoned R-4, Single Family Resi-
dential District. Conversion of the former duplex into a tri-plex
is inconsistent with the single family zoning status of the
adjacent properties and the adjacent zoning district.
(2) Permitting a higher density residential use that was
illegally established may encourage the conversion of other
large single family homes in the neighborhood. Therefore ,
the conversion to a tri-plex is inappropriate and inconsistent
with the general welfare of the community. The structure was
originally designed as a duplex and was converted into a tri-plex
by the previous owner in an illegal manner because the existing

zoning as of the time of conversion did not permit a three-
family dwelling in this zoning district.
(3) The off-street parking provided for this site is not
adequate. A new three-unit building would require four parking
spaces. There are two spaces in the existing garage and one
additional space west of the garage for a total of three parking
spaces.
(4) The use as a tri-plex is no� in substantial agreement
with the Comprehensive Plan. The housing element of the compre-
hensive plan states that "conversion of existing housing should
occur on a limited basis in most neighborhoods to avoid dis-
ruption of neighborhood character." Their St. Paul Tomorrow
report findings reaffirm the need to preserve the character
of single family neighborhoods . Allowing a nonconforming use
which has illegally expanded may encourage other property owners
to pursue similar conversions. In addition, the District 16
Plan advocates preserving the character of neighborhoods ; the
recent plan update urges City enforcement action to uphold
zoning ordinances and to maintain population density.

WHEREAS , pursuant to the provisions of Section 64.206 ,
Richard Cammack duly filed his 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 Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS , acting pursuant to Sections 64.206 through 64. 208 ,
and upon notice to Appellant and other affected property owners ,
a public hearing was duly conducted by the City Council on
June 23 , 1988 , wherein all interested parties were given an
opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS , Section 64. 206(a) of the Lec�islative Code provides
that in case of an appeal from a decision made by the Planning
Commission that the City Council shall have the power to hear

RE: Zoning File #10309-Richard Cammack ��� �LERK
City Council Hearing: June 23, 1988
PURPOSE: To consider an appeal of a Planning Commission decision which denied
a Nonconforming Use Permit to establish legal nonconforming status for a third
unit in a legal duplex.
PLANNING CONINIISSION DECISION: Deny (15-0) .
ZONING COMMITTEE DECISION: Deny (7-1)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny
SUPPORT: One person spoke.
OPPOSITION: Four persons spoke, eight letters and a petition with 18
signatures received.
Dear Sir:
On March 17 and May 5, 1988, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission
held a public hearing on this nonconforming use permit. The petitioner
testified. At the close of the public hearing, the Committee voted 7 to 1 to
deny the nonconforming use permit based on staff findings. On May 13, 1988,
the Planning Commission upheld the Zoning Committee's recommendation on a
unanimous voice vote.
Mr. Cammack is appealing this decision and it is scheduled to be heard by the
City Council on June 23, 1988. The appellant asserts that the city recognized
the third unit by issuing an electrical permit in 1974 and an address in 1976,
and that the Planning Commission erred in denying the nonconforming use permit.
Please notify me by June 22, 1988 if any member of the City Council wishes to
have slides of the site presented at the public hearing.
Sincerely,

�te May 13, 1938
i��S, Richard Cammack, file #10260, has applied for a Nonconforming Use Permit
under the provisions of Section 62.102 Subd. 5(11) of the Saint Paul Legislative
Code� for the purpose of establishing legal nonconforming status for a triplex on
properry located at 203-205 South Chatsworth, 989 Linwood legally described as South
1/2 of Lots l, 2, 3, Block 1� Bryant's Park Addition; and
�.'HEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission on March 17 and May 5,
1988, held a public hearing at which all persons ptesent were given an opportunity
to be heard pursuant to said� application in accordance with the requirements of
Section 64.300 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and
k'HEREAS. Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence pzesented to its
Zoning Committee at the public hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes,
made the following findings of fact:
1. In January, 1983 Mr. Cammack purchased this property on contract for deed from
Mr. Terrance McGrath as a triplex. There are two� 2-bedroom apartment units,
• one each �on the first and second floors of the building and a 1-bedroom unit in
the ba�ement. A detached two-cat garage is located to the west of the house and �
is accessed from Linwood Street.
2. The structure was originally constructed as a duplex in 1885. Mr. McGrath
states that in 1975 he added the third dwelling unit in the basement. The unit
was constructed without a permit and he was unaware that it violated the zoning
code. The third unit was first listed in Polk's Directory' in 1977.
3. Prior to 1984, the property was cited for several fire code violations and the
. zoning violation. Mr. McGrath states that all fire code deficiencies have been
corrected, but the Division of Fire and Safety Services has not been able to
gain access to the unit in order to confirm it.

4. To grant legal nonconforming status to uses that fail to meet Section 62.102,
the P2anning Commission must make nine findings; these requirements and the
applicant's ability to meet them are as follows:
(a) The use occurs entirely within the existing structure.
Ttie unit in question h�as over 1100 square feet and is located in the
basement of the structure. City inspectors report that it is a nice unit.
� (b) The use is similar to other uses permitted within the district.
The property is zoned R-4, a single family residential district; a triplex
is inconsistent with the single family zoning status.
y� (c) The use is appropriate and is consistent with the general welfare of the
com�unity and the enjoyment of the adjacent property.
Permitting a higher density residential that was illegaily established may �
encourage the conversion of other large single family homes in the
neighborhood. Therefore, the coirversion is both inappropriate and
inconsistent with the general welfare of the community.
(d) The use has been in existence for a period of at least 'ten years prior to
the application to the planning commission.
The third unit has apparently been in existence since 1975, but staff was
unable to verify that through any official records. The construction was
done without a building permit.
� (e) The off-street parking is adequate to serve the use.
- (continued) '
•

�._ �,�� �
.
File #10260

A new three unit building would require 4 parking spaces. There are two
spaces in the garage and one space west of the garage for a total of 3
parking spaces.
� (f) The use is in substantial agreement with the comprehensive plan.
The housing element o� the Comprehensive Plan states that "conversion of
existing housing should occur on a limited basis in most neighborhoods to
avoid . . . disruption of neighborhood character." The St. Paul Tomorrow
report findings reaffirm the need to preserve the character of single family
neighborhoods. A2lowing a nonconforming use which has illegally expanded '
may encourage other property owners to pursue similar conversions. In
addition, the District 16 Plan advocates preserving the character of
neighborhoods; the recent plan update urges city enforcement action to
uphold zoning ordinances and to maintain population density.
� (g) Ha.rdship would result if the use were discontinued.
. •
Mr. Cammack has provided a statement that if he were unable to rent this
basement unit, the payment on the property would be $590 per month greater
than the rental income. Currently, rent is $495 per month for the basement
unit and approximately $625 per month for the two upstairs units. There are
tenants living in all three units. '
(h) Rezoning the property would result in a "spot zoning" or zoning •
_ inappropriate to the surrounding land use.
To built a new triplex requires RT-2 zoning and a lot area of 10,000 square
feet. Since the neighborhood is primarily single family, zezoning this
parcel is inappropriate.

(i) That a notarized �etition of two-thirds of the property owners within 100
feet of the property has been obtained stating support of the use.
A sufficient petition was submitted with the application. lfao persons
signing the petition have provided statements withdrawing their support.
5. The tziplex cannot meet the required findings b, c, e and f; therefore it is.
inappropriate to grant legal nonconforming status for the third basement unit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Planning Commission, that under �
the suthoriiy of the City's Legislative Code, the application for a Nonconforming
Use Yermit to establish a legal nonconforming use status for a triplex at 203-205
South Chatsworth� 989 Lir►wood is hereby denied.

MIIQOTES OF THE ZONING COI4IITTEE
CITY COUNCIL C�BERS� SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA ON MAY 5, 1988
PRESENT: Mmes. Hirte� Korton, Tracy and Zieaan; Messrs. Christenson, Levy,
Neid and Repke of the Zoning Committee; Mr. Segal, Assistant City
Attorney; Iis: Lane of the Building Inspection and Design Division;
Ms. Freese and Iis. Murray of the Planning Division staff.
ABSENT: None.
The neeting was chaired by Gladys Morton, Chairman.
gichard Ca�ack (#10260): A Nonconforming Use Permit for property at 203-205
South Chats�rorth/989 Lirn�rood to establish legal nonconforming use status for a
triplex.
The applicant was present; there was opposition present at the hearing.
Ms. Freese reviewed the staff report with a recommendation for denial.
Keith Hanzel� 814 Degree of Honor Building, representing the applicant, showed
a video tape of the interior and exterior of the site. He distributed and
explained a map showing �rhere neighbors favoring the nonconforming use triplex
reside. llr. Gregg Fleischhacker� 222 South Snelling, was introduced and said
that of the hundreds of hoses surveyed, only six or eight residents opposed
the permit.
Katt�leen Werthmann, 1593 Hillcrest, stated that she hes managed the property
since 1981, described the indoor and outdoor improvements and the quality
upkeep of the property, and the lack of neighbors' complaints about the
triplex and its tenants.
Mr. Neid asked Ms. Lane if building permits were requested for the
improvements. Iis. Lane stated that she would check the files in her office
regarding permits for the i�rovements; however, a permit for construction of
the third unit, in the baseaent, was never requested.
Mr. Hanzel referred to the staff report findings and questioned number
five (d) regarding the ntmber of years the third unit has been in existence.
Ms. Freese responded that the first docuaentation found for that unit was
1977. Mr. Hanzel said that work on the basement was started in 1971 and that
a separate address was added in 1975. He went over items (b, c, e, f) and
subaitted the applicant's disagreement with the findings.
Ruth Armstrong, 745 Grand Avenue, District 16 co�unity organizer, stated that
Mr. McGrath aet with the Sunnit Hill Association, that the co�ittee vote was
5-0 in opposition to the nonconforming use and that the Board unanimously
supported the committee's decision. She questioned the support of some of
the petition signers.
Mr. Christenson asked if reasons were knovn for the co�ittee's vote in
opposition. lis. Armstrong responded that the board may have been influenced
by problens vith the use of the triplex located directly north of the
applicant's property.

Mr. Christenson asked if the S�mmit Hill Association is avare of Iir. McGrath's
conversion of other neighborhood homes. Ms. Arnstrong said that there are
others, but that she is reluctant to testify on this point.

3. LOCATION: 203-205 S. Chatsworth, 989 Linwood
4. PLANNING DISTRICT: 16
5. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: South 1/2 of Lots 1, 2 & 3, Block l, Bryant's Park Addition
6. PRESENT ZONING: R-4 ZONING CODE REFERENCE: 62.102 Subd. 5(11)
7. STAFF INVESTIGATION AND REPORT: DATE: 3/9/88 BY: Lisa J. Freese
A. PURPOSE: To establish legal nonconforming status for a triplex.
B. SUFFICIENCY: The petition was declared sufficient by the Planning Division on
February 17, 1988; 15 parcels eligible, 10 parcels required, 11 parcels signed.
C. PARCEL SIZE: The parcel has 74' of frontage on Chatsworth and 120' of frontage
on Linwood for a total area of 8,670 square feet.
D. EXISTING LAND USE: There is a two-story residential structure with three
apartment units and a detached two-car garage located on this parcel.
E. SURROUNDING LAND USE:
North: Two family residential
East: One family residential
South: 7 unit condo, one family residential
West: One family residential
F. ZONING HISTORY: Prior to 1975, this property was zoned "A" residential.
G. FINDINGS:
1. In January, 1983 Mr. Cammack purchased this property on contract for deed from
Mr. Terrance McGrath as a triplex. There are two, 2-bedroom apartment units,
one each on the first and second floors of the building and a 1-bedroom unit in
the basement. A detached two-car garage is located to the west of the house and
is accessed from Linwood Street.
2. The structure was originally constructed as a duplex in 1885. Mr. McGrath
states that in 1975 he added the third dwelling unit in the basement. The unit
was constructed without a permit and he was unaware that it violated the zoning
code. The third unit was first listed in Polk's Directory in 1977.
3. Prior to 1984, the property was cited for several fire code violations and the
zoning violation. Mr. McGrath states that all fire code deficiencies have been
corrected, but the Division of Fire and Safety Services has not been able to
gain access to the unit in order to confirm it.
4. In 1982, Mr. McGrath lost an appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals after he was
denied nonconforming status by the Zoning Administrator for another triplex that
he owns at 195 Chatsworth, just north of the subject property.
5. To grant legal nonconforming status to uses that fail to meet Section 62.102,
the Planning Commission must make nine findings; these requirements and the
applicant's ability to meet them are as follows:
(a) The use occurs entirely within the existing structure.
The unit in question has over 1100 square feet and is located in the
basement of the structure. City inspectors report that it is a nice unit.
��rs-�
File #10260
,
Page 1�ao
(b) The use is similar to other uses permitted within the district.
The property is zoned R-4, a single family residential district; a triplex
is inconsistent with the single family zoning status.
(c) The use is appropriate and is consistent with the general welfare of the
community and the en�oyment of the ad�acent property.
Permitting a higher density residential that was illegally established may
encourage the conversion of other large single family homes in the
neighborhood. Therefore, the conversion is both inappropriate and
inconsistent with the general welfare of the community.
(d) The use has been in existence for a period of at least ten years prior to
the application to the planning commission.
The third unit has apparently been in existence since 1975, but staff was
unable to verify that through any official records. The construction was
done without a building permit.
(e) The off-street parking is adequate to serve the use.
A new three unit building would require four parking spaces. There are two
spaces in the garage and one space west of the garage for a total of three
parking spaces.
(f) The use is in substantial agreement with the comprehensive plan.
The housing element of the Comprehensive Plan states that "conversion of
existing housing should occur on a limited basis in most neighborhoods to
avoid . . . disruption of neighborhood character." The St. Paul Tomorrow
report findings reaffirm the need to preserve the character of single family
neighborhoods. Allowing a nonconforming use which has illegally expanded
may encourage other property owners to pursue similar conversions. In
addition, the District 16 Plan advocates preserving the character of
neighborhoods; the recent plan update urges city enforcement action to
uphold zoning ordinances and to maintain population density.
(g) Hardship would result if the use were discontinued.
Mr. Cammack has provided a statement that if he were unable to rent this
basement unit, the payment on the property would be $590 per month greater
than the rental income. Currently, rent is $495 per month for the basement
unit and approximately $625 per month for the two upstairs units. There are
tenants living in all three units.
(h) Rezoning the property would result in a "spot zoning" or zoning
inappropriate to the surrounding land use.
To built a new triplex requires RT-2 zoning and a lot area of 10,000 square
feet. Since the neighborhood is primarily single family, rezoning this
parcel is inappropriate.
(i) That a notarized petition of two-thirds of the property owners within 100
feet of the property has been obtained stating support of the use.
A sufficient petition was submitted with the application.
H. STAFF ANALYSIS: The intent of nonconforming use provisions in the zoning code
is to avoid hardship by allowing the continuance of uses made nonconforming as a
result of changes in the zoning regulations. The zoning code empowers the
Planning Commission to grant legal nonconforming status to uses established
illegally onlv if all the required findings of Section 60.102 Subd. 5(11) are
met by the applicant. In this case, the applicant has not met these
requirements.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the staff findings Sb, c, d, e and f, and the
staff analysis, staff recommends denial of the nonconforming use permit.

RE: 203-205 South Chatsworth
Application for ldonconforming Use
Dear Lisa,
I am hopeful that the staff will recommend this
application for the following reasons:
1 . The use does occur entirely within the
existing structure.
2 . The use is similar to other use permitted
in the district.
3_ The use is appropriate and consistent with
the general welfare of the community and
enjoyment of the adjacent property owners
as demonstrated by their signatures on our
petition.
4 . The structure has been used as a 3 unit building
dwelling continuously since 1974, and was given
a separate address of 989 Linwood Avenue by
the City of St . Paul in 1975 , for the third
unit.
5 . Off street parking of 3 stalls has been adjacent
to the property for the past 14 years .
If another stall should be required to meet
new development standards, it can be done.
6 . The use is in substantial agreement with the
the comprehensive plan, thereby giving quality
living space to medium income residents. The
need for quality apartment rental space has
been a high priority of the Mayor for the past
12 years . The conversion of under used large
buildings has been encouraged. The building
here in question has 1200 square feet of storage
space even after the creation of the third unit,
which has 1150 square feet of living space.
7 . My payment on the property would be $590 greater
per month than the rents I would receive, ..
This would make me unable to maintain the
property in good condition.
.�., :�,

�'�'��°t���� �`��� ��—. 2— �_

� , Paqe 2
, �
8. Rezoning the property would result in "spot zoning",
not in the best interest of the neighborhood.
9, I have submitted the signed petition with the required
signatures.
In closing, the building is in very good condition and
serves as a good example of viable inter-city housing.
There is a waiting list of people who--would like to be
able to move into this building. I think that speaks
well of my property and my neighbors .
Sincerely,

Re: Zoning File #10260
Dear Commissianer,
Members of the Summit Hill Association/District 16 Planning Council
have reviewed the copy of the application for a nonconforming use
permit for 203-205 S. Chatsworth & 989 Linwood. �
We do not support this application for the following reasons :
1 - We challenge the owner' s assertion that this building was in
lawful use as a tri-plex on October 25, 1975. Our recollection is
that this building was tagged more than once even after this time
because the third unit was not deemed habitable by city inspectors and
was, therefare, not in lawful use as a tri-plex.
2 - We do not aee any evidence of hardsriip necessitating a NCUP.
3 - There is insufficient aff-street parking. This is a densely
pr�pulated area with serious parkin� problems; we must insist that the
city' s parking requiremer�ts be strictly adhered to.
4 - About 6 or 7 years a�o, our organization was asked to respond
to Mr. McGrath's application for tax-exempt financing for this site.
At that time we stated that we had no abjection� ta this kind of
financin�, but that we had concerns about the cade violations, its
unlawful use as a tri-plex and that we wanted thase violations to be
addressed.
5 - If he finaliy met all code requiremsnts in 1985, as the
application sug�ests, that would appear to negate his claim that it

St. Paul Planning Commission
25 West Fourth Street
St. Paul MN 55105
In Re: 203-205 S. Chatsworth and 989 LinXOOd
Dear Sirs:
My name is Ruth Bouttell. My husband and I have lived at 1003
Linwood Avenue since August of 1942. The large two-story house
at 195 So. Chatsworth was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Larson,
and they occupied the first floor and their son, his wife and
small daughter lived on the second floor. My oldest daughter
used to play in the attic in what is now known as the third floor
apartment. The building at 205 Chatsworth was a duplex also, but
I do not remember the name of the people who lived on the first
floor or who owned it at that time.
When Terry McGrath bought 205 Chatsworth, he obtained permission
from Renneth Kyle who lived on the first floor to move some of
his belongings into the living room area so he could establish
residency for .Homestead purposes. Mr. Ryle did not consult with
his wife about giving this permission to occupy the living room
with his (McGrath's) property. Needless to say Mrs . Dorothy Ryle
was very upset over having her home, which she was renting, taken
over in this manner. So of course they found they would have
to move and they did. As I recall, the lady who lived upstairs
at 205 S. Chatsworth had to move also, so McGrath could remodel,
and then this lady rented the upstairs duplex at 195 S. Chatsworth
and lived there until Terry McGrath purchased that duplex also
and started the process of making it into a triplex.
After some remodeling work at 203-205 S. Chatsvorth (the first
and second floor) , McGrath opened his electrical business as the
Crocus Hill Electric Company in the basement after he had opened
up the foundation and operated his business from there and it
is now known as 989 Linwood. None of the neighbors liked it,
�C�i����i r��� ���
' ��/J "
. ,
but We tolerated it. Eventually he moved the office out, moved
the business to Grand Avenue, and then lived in the basement apartment
for a vhile. That's When it was first used as an (illegal) triplex.
He then rented it out as living space. This was in the mid-1970's.
When he bought 195 S. Chatsworth and started to remodel it and
made it into another illegal triplex, the neighbors got up a petition
and in 1982 there was a hearing on it . I hope the records of
that hearing, on a very similar matter, are on file for reference
today. He vas denied any permit for a triplex at that adjoining
address. This resulted despite the fact that he had some of his
relatives, whom he identified as tenants, testify what a Wonderful
landlord he was. In total disregard of that finding, 195 S. Chatsworth
is still being rented and occupied as an illegal tripiex.
But of course the issue is this: our area is zoned one-family
residential, that most of the homes are one-family, and the large
brick apartment (and condominium) buildings were there before
the zoning rules were made.
We bought our home in this area almost 46 years ago because it
was a very nice residential area. We hope the Zoning Committee
will not grant this Nonconforming Use Permit on this triplex,
and that it can remain for all the other people in Bryant Park
Addition a residential R-4 status.
There is a very limited parking area in this vicinity, and many,
many times the people at 203-205 S. Chatsworth or 989 Linwood
pull into the driveway and onto the sidewalk, blocking it so we
must walk around the backs of the cars or into the street.
When Terry McGrath testified at the hearing for 195 S. Chatsworth
he made a statement that he did not know it was against the rules
to make a triplex out of that house, but since he was denied the
right to have a triplex there, he has consistently rented it as
a triplex. So we ask again, "Is there a separate set of rules
for Terry McGrath, while the rest of us law-abiding citizens follow
the Zoning Code?"
It seems to me that when McGrath obtained his electrical contractor ' s
license, he must have learned about the rules for building codes
and permits and should have had that knowledge before opening
his business in the basement at 989 Linwood .
I was surprised at some of the dates on Mr. McGrath' s petition,
going back to mid-1986. It apparently took him a long time to
get the minimum number of signatures required for this action.
Also Peggy Lindoo's signature appears on page 4 but not on page
3, probably because she has moved to California. I Would like
ciarification of the ownership of the north half of the lots ( 195
Chatsworth)--John Austin signed the petition, but McGrath himself
is the fee owner. Most of the property owners within 100 feet
who signed "McGrath's petition live in a single, large condominium
building. Do people. living at 1117 St. Clair have a right to
sign the petition? "7�h� /�+�m� �5 J4hN � �R . Ar�"��s f+�press� ✓o.f.i/C,Jr

After violating all the other rules and regulations, McGrath made
drivevay cuts in the curbs, had them biacktopped xithout permits
at 195 Chatsworth and 989 Linwood (eliminating that nuch more
street parking) and nov uses tvo of those spots for dumpsters,
not off-street parking.
Again we sincerely request that the Nonconforming IIse Permft for
the triplex be denied .
Thank you, Zoning Committee, for your thoughtful consideration.

In Re: 203-205 S. Chatsworth and 989 Linwood
Dear Sirs:
We firmly oppose issuance of a Nonconforming Use Permit which
would establish legal status for triplex apartments� in the above-
referenced building. We are professional people who are employed
in other municipaiities but who were attracted to live in this
neighborhood of St. Paul under the belief that single-family
housing was the norm.
Sincz I (Frank) walk past the property in question daily, I have
been aware of the conversion to multiple units, and their use
as such which persisted even after the last hearing on a closely
related matter in 1982 ( 195 S. Chatsworth, also owned by Mr.
McGrath) . That hearing found such continuing activity to be
illegal .
We believe that such loss of single-family dwellings will alter
the character of the neighborhood for the worse, lessen our property
values, and send a signal to other potential landlords that additional
conversion, illegal or not, would be further tolerated.
We resent someone who has continued to disregard zoning decisions
against him, moving to legitimize his behavior and lower the
net worth of the law-abiding residents of the neighborhood.
Thaak you for your attention in this matter.
Yo s ver truly,
;
�;��, ��/�.
Frank and Kathleen Berdan

March 15, 1988
994 Linwood Avenue
St. Paul, Minnesota 55105
Zoning Committee of St . Paul Planning Commission
25 West Fourth Street
St. Paul, Minnesota 55102
I would like you to oppose the nonconforming use permit re-
quested by Mr. Richard Cammack, for the establishment of a
legal status for a triplex at 203-205 South Chatsworth and
989 Linwood. Although I did sign a petition in 1986 favoring
such a conversion for Mr. Terry McGrath, current owner at that
time, I now believe it is not in the best interest of the neigh-
borhood nor in my best interest.
My front porch faces the property and what I see is very un-
sightly, to say the least. A large trash dumpster, almost
at the edge of the sidewalk, open garage doors almost all of the
time, a building in sad need of repainting, tenants parked
across the sidewalk facing the garage doors .
Mr. McGrath has been in the real-estate business for many years
before the conversion took place, and should have known (and
probably did know) that what he was doing was illegal . If our
zoning laws are any good at all , the zoning committee should
enforce them.
Sincerely you�s-,, .,

PETITION
We, the undersigned neighbors of 203-205 S. Chatsworth and 989
Linwood, oppose a Nonconforming Use Permit to establish legal
status for the triplex apartments already illegally established
in that building. Allowing the Nonconforming Use Permit would
compromise the single-family residential character of our part
of the neighborhood, would reduce our property values , and would
encourage further such conversion to multiple-unit housing.
We further believe we may have signed a "Consent of Adjoining
Property Owners" form which would be pertinent to this matter ,
and we wish to withdraw or repudiate our support at this time.
