Smith Avenue and legally described as Except the south 882 ft. , Lot 18 , and the north 51 2/3 ft. of Lot 19, Marion Addition to the City of Saint Paul , Ramsey County, Minnesota; and WHEREAS , the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the above referenced application held on May 5, 1988 , and following that hearing the Zoning Committee adopted a motion to recommend that the Planning Com- mission deny the application for modification of special con- ditions and to deny the Special Condition Use Permit applied for; and WHEREAS , the Planning Commission of the City of Saint Paul at its meeting on May 13 , 1988 , did by its Resolution No. 88-26 deny the application of Ray Hessler and Dave Van Poperin to modify one of the conditions set forth in Section 60. 534(3) which provides that billiard halls located in a B-2 zoning district must be located at least 100 feet from any front, rear or side yard of any residential lot in an adjacent residential district measured from the closest point of the building in which the use is located to the closest residential property line , the denial being based upon the following findings made and adopted by the Planning Commmission: (1 ) The Planning Commission is authorized to modify a special condition if it finds that strict application of this special condition would unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise COUNCIL MEMBERS Requested by Department of: Yeas Nays Dimond �� [n Favor Goswitz Rettman s�6e;be� __ A gai n s t BY Sonnen Wilson Form Appr v d by City Attorne Adopted by Council: Date Certified Passed by Council Secretary By By Approved by Mavor: Date App�d by Mayor for Submission to Council gy By WH17E - CITV GLERK C011flC11 �//� 'PINK - FINANCE G I TY O F SA I NT PA U L /� BLUERµ- M�AVORTMENT File NO. u -/� - � Council Resolution Presented By Referred To Committee: Date Out of Committee By Date lawful use of a piece of property. The applicant has not estab- lished that other lawful uses of the property could not be made. Other uses that may be made at this property include , but are not limited to , a restaurant, a bank, offices or other retail type uses. (2) A second finding required to be made by the Planning Commission in granting modification of a special condition use is that the strict application would result in exceptional undue hardship to the owner of the property. In this case the owner has indicated that they would experience financial hardship in that they have already invested $25,000 towards the property and have made deposits on equipment. The Planning Commission, however , finds that this hardship is self-imposed. ( 3) A third finding necessary to be made by the Planning Commission in granting a modification of special condition use is that the modification would not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and that the modification would be consistent with the reasonable enjoyment of adjacent property. The Planning Commission found that the modification of the distance requirement of the billiard hall from residential property would in this case be inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the condition. The condition' s purpose is to buffer the negative impacts of indoor commercial recreation uses from residential property. The Commission concluded that a business such as what is proposed would operate 14 hours a day, seven days a week, and would have a detrimental impact from the associated noise and traffic on the reasonable enjoyment of the nearby residential property; and WHEREAS , pursuant to the provisions of the Saint Paul Legislative Code , Ray Hessler and Dave Van Poperin filed with 2.

PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION: Deny (unanimous) . ZONING COMMITTEE DECISION: Deny (3-0) . STAFF RECONIlrIENDATION: Deny. SUPPORT: One letter received. OPPOSITION: 21 people spoke, 44 letters and a petition with 164 signatures received. Dear Sir: On May 5, 1988, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this Special Condition Use Permit application for a billiard hall. The petitioner testified. At the close of the public hearing, the Committee voted 3 to 0 to deny the permit based on staff findings. On May 13, 1988, the Planning Commission upheld the Zoning Committee's recommendation on a unanimous voice vote. Billiard halls are permitted subject to the condition that they be located 100 feet from any residentially zoned lot. The proposed site at 627 South Smith Avenue cannot meet that condition and the Planning Commission decided that the applicant did not show why the condition should be modified. Mr. Hessler and Mr. Van Poperin are appealing this decision. The appellants state that strict application of the condition would unreasonably limit the use of the property, result in hardship and is consistent with the reasonable enjoyment of the adjacent property. This appeal is scheduled to be heard by the City Council on June 28, 1988. Please notify me by June 27, 1988, if any member of the City Council wishes to have slides of the site presented at the public hearing. Sincerely, l��''��'S� 0�` Lisa J.

The applicants propose to establish a billiard hall consisting of 12 pool tables, vending machines and a limited food service with a small seating area locatEd on the first floor. No aicoholic beverages will be served and the hours � af operation will be from 9 a.m. until 11 p.m. daily. The billiard hall will be open to the public and for tournament play. The original request included a private billiard club upstairs, but this has been dropped from the proposal. 2. Section 62.103 (3a) of the zoning code states that when the use of a structure changes and if the parking requirement for the new use is 30 percent greater than the previous use, the additional parking must be provided. The off-street parking requirement for billiard halls and meeting halls such as the Masonic � - Lodge is the same, one for every three persons allowed within the maximum occupancy load. Therefore, the parking deficiency is legally nonconforming and no addi;.ional parking is required. .

Section 60.534(3) permits billiazd halls, and other forms of indoor commercial recreation, ?n the B-2 zoning district "when located at least 100 feet from eny front, rear or side yard of any residentiel Iot in an adjacent residential district meesured from the closest point of the buildfng in which the use is located to the closest residential properry 1ine." 4. The nearest residential district (RT-1) is located to the west of the proposed billiard hall. The distance from the rear of the building to the closest residentially zoned property is approximately 40 feet. This condition may be modified. - 5. The Planning Commission may modify any special conditions if it finds that strict application of such special condition (1) would unreasonably limit ar prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of property, (2) would result in exceptional undue hardship to� the-.awner of the property; and (3) such modification would not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with the reasonable enjoyment of• ad,jacent property. * 6. Strict application of the distance requirement for indoor commercial recreation uses would not preclude other permitted uses to be established at this location; these uses include, but are not limited to, restaurants, banks, offices and most retail uses. The applicants have not demonstrated that it' is infeasible to reuse the property for another permitted use. The applicants have stated that �hey would experience financial hardship if the permit is not granted because they have invested $25,000 towards the property and have made a deposit on the equipment.

The Planning Commission may modify any special conditions if it finds that strict application of such special condition (1) would unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of property, (2) would result in exceptional undue hardship to the owner of the property, and (3) such modification would not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with the reasonable en�joyment of adjacent property. 6. Strict application of the distance requirement for indoor commercial recreation uses would not preclude other permitted uses to be established at this lacation; these uses include, but are not limited to, restaurants, banks, offices and most retail uses. The applicants have stated that they would experience financial hardship if the permit is not granted because they have invested $25,000 towards the property and have made a deposit on the equipment. (This hardship, however, is self- imposed. ) Finally, modification of the distance requirement is inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the special condition, which is to buffer the negative impacts of indoor commercial recreation uses from residential property. Although this building is approximately 40 feet from a residential zoned lot, it also abuts residential uses which are zoned commercial on the north and west sides. A business which operates 14 hours a day, seven days a week and provides no off-street parking will have a detrimental impact from associated noise and traffic on the reasonable en�oyment of the adjacent residential property. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on staff findings 1 through 6, staff recommends denial of the Special Condition Use Permit with Modification for distance requirements. . � . � G��-�a.�' APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL CONDITION USE C1TY OF SAINT PAUL ZONING OFFICE USE ONLY File # � ��C E I V E D Application Fee $ , Tentative Hearing Date 3'�7 " �g' F E B 16 1988 Number of Lots or Size of Parcel: ZONING Application is hereby made for a Special Condition Use Permit under the provisions of Chapter �['7 , Section ,5 3� , Paragraph 3 , of the Zoning Code to operate a ��1 I.�J..---��,� �--� A.

The property was formerly owned by the Mason Shekinah Lodge 171 . They used the premises for their membership meetings and also for public events (pancake breakfasts, booya, flea markets, etc.). At times, as many as 300 people would be involved at an event. That amount of additional traffic created no problems to the area. Highbridge Billiards will not create traffic prob7ems in the area, considering that the number of addi- tional people will be much less than those involved in the Mason's activities. The need for a special condition permit exists because the adjoining prop- erty line runs one to two feet from the back of our building, with a cyclone fence between the properties. Our building is of solid brick and stands 35 feet high. There are no windows or doors or any access to the back of the building. Impairment to any resident should not exist because of the solid brick walls, and the fact that all traffic will enter and exit only on Smith Avenue. The building is located in an area zoned Commercial B. We are very consis- ter�t with the buildings in the area. Highbridge Billiards is adjacent to three businesses and one of a total of twelve located in the imnediate two-block area on Smith Avenue. We should blend into the area very we11 with no structural change to the building. We are hoping for positive results from the Zoning Comnission. A negative response would create both a hardship for the area, as well as a financial burden to me and my partner. The Masons have been trying to sell the property for three years. The building would likely remain err�ty with no new business coming into the area. � Personally, my partner and I have invested $25,000 cash toward the purchase of the property, and an additional $20,000 for the purchase of billiard tables (see attached invoice). We would appreciate a positive response from the Com- mission so that we can proceed with our business plan, and also with our hope of contributing to the local area in a positive way. Thank you.

Marketing There are 53 million billiard players in the United States and the sport is experiencing a tremendous return as a popular sport for the entire family, second to bowling. Billiards is coming back in a new classic, clean, all-around competitive as well as recreational sport. One third of the new players are women. In Minnesota, according to the Valley League (a member of a nationwide billiard association), there are over 30,000 registered billiard players. There have been billiards played in famous Minnesota institutions like the Minnesota Club, the Minneapolis Club, the St. Paul Athletic Club, and the University of Minnesota Coffman Student Union for many years. Five new billiard halls have opened in Twin Cities' suburbs in the past six months. HIGH BRIDGE BILLIAROS will promote tournaments, educational billiard classes, pro instruction and e�hibition, and community events. HIGH BRIDGE BILLIARDS hopes to create an image and business that is both beneficial and entertaining for the area, and hopes to work closely with the community in making this goal a reality. A marketing plan will be implemented that includes advertising and public relations. . . . . . .��3 �, . . . . �� PARKING The developers, being concerned about the parking issue related to High Bridge Billiards, have researched the subject and have secured the following: 1. An agreement for use of the vacant lot on the southwest corner of Smith and Baker has been reached, which will accommodate 25-30 cars. 2. An agreement for use of the lot on the corner of George and SMith (2 blocks south of High Bridge Billiards), with complimentary valet parking. The lot will hold 30 cars. 3. An option to buy the property adjacent to High Bridge Billiards at 625 Smith. This lot would hold 30 cars. A maximum of 90 offstreet parking spaces would be provided. Our research has shown that, in fact, additional parking is probably not necessary. With 12 pool tables with 2 players each and 3 staff on site at all times, there would be a maximum of 15-20 cars if all tables were in play. When the building was in use as a Masonic Temple, there were far greater numbers of people and cars in the area as a result of various functions held in the building. From 100 to 450 persons attended meetings and special events resulting in fran 60 to 200 cars in the area. If the building were used, for examp.le, as a restuarant or catering/event facility, there would be a much greater need for offstreet parking upwards to 200 spaces. f.�j/ye Ns� o��s .Sou.
