Stewart for a nonconforming use permit , and the Commission stated as the grounds for the denial the following: (1 ) The structure existing at 150-152 West Page Street was constructed as a duplex or two-family dwelling. The property is located in an RT-1 two-family residential zoned district and four-unit family dwellings are not a permitted use in that district. (2) In 1969 the Planning Commission of the City of Saint Paul denied an application made by the then owner of the subject property for permission to relax the density requirements of the "A" residential zoned district so as to allow a four-unit dwelling on this site. The building, when constructed as a duplex, was a legal conforming use and subsequently was converted into a four-unit dwelling without proper and legally required building permits and therefore the use of the property as a four-unit dwelling is not a legal nonconforming use under the COUNCIL MEMBERS Requested by Department of: Yeas Nays Dimond Lo� In Favor coswitz Rettman scne�be� __ Against BY sonnen Wilson Form Approve y City Attorney Adopted by Council: Date Certified Passed by Council Secretary By gy, I " t�pproved by �Vlavor: Date Approve y Mayor for Submission to Council By By ��-ra�.� current RT-1 zoning classification. (3) Provisions of Section 62. 102 (e) (11 ) provides that the Planning Commission may grant a legal nonconforming use status to a structure and requires that the Planning Commission base their decision on nine specified findings, including the following: (a) The use that is proposed is similar to other uses permitted within the district. The Planning Commission found and determined that the existing land uses of the area adjacent to the subject property is developed and zoned primarily for single-family residential . Although there are a few duplexes and vacant lots scattered throughout the area, there are no higher density residential developments adjacent thereto. (b) The use that is proposed is appropriate and consis- tent with the general welfare of the community and enjoyment of this adjacent property. The Planning Commission found and determined that permitting a four-unit family dwelling in this location was a higher density use than permitted and would tend to encourage the erosion of the single-family neighborhood adjacent thereto. (c) The Commission should determine whether the off- street parking provided is adequate to serve the use. The Planning Commission found that a four-unit structure would require six off-street parking spaces and in this instance the property has a garage which provides off-street parking for only two vehicles. Therefore , the Commission determined that any additional parking that would be proposed by the applicant would not be adequate because it would be located in the required front yard in violation of the Zoning Code provisions . (d) Whether the proposed use is in substantial agreement with the comprehensive plan. The Planning Commission made reference to the housing element of the compre- hensive plan which states that "conversion of existing housing should occur on a limited basis in most neighbor- hoods to avoid disruption of neighborhood character. " The Saint Paul Tomorrow Report findings reaffirm the need to preserve single-family neighborhoods because 2. . .� . ��-la�� of the changes in housing demand. The Planning Com- mission found that allowing the nonconforming use of a four-unit dwelling to exist in this location would encourage nearby property owners to seek rezoning so as to convert units or to develop vacant land at higher densities than otherwise would be permitted. (e) The Planning Commission further found that to build a new structure with the existing apartment configuration on this parcel as proposed by applicant would require an RT-2 zoning and that because the nature of the neighborhood was as a development for single family dwellings , that a rezoning of this parcel to RT-2 would not be appropriate. WHEREAS , pursuant to Section 64. 206 Jerome D. Stewart appealed the Planning Commission' s decision to the Saint Paul City Council alleging that the Planning Commission committed an error in denying his application for a nonconforming use permit ; and WHEREAS , the Saint Paul City Council did conduct a hearing on this appeal on July 14, 1988 , at which time the appellant and all other interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS , the City Council , having heard the testimony given at the public hearing, and having considered the application for nonconforming use permit, the report of staff, the record, minutes and findings of the Zoning Committee and the Planning Commission, does hereby RESOLVE , that the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby find and determine that the Planning Commission did not commit an error in any fact , procedure or finding and there- fore the City Council does hereby affirm the findings and decision of the Planning Commission; and, be it 3. ��nic ��-%�Ir�S`. �``� T} �� CITY OF SAINT PAUL � ;� ��. ;� � �r:; �o x .

STAFF INVESTIGATION AND REYORT: DATE: 2/08/88 BY: Lisa J. Freese A. �gQ,�: To allow continued use of 2 first floor apartments. B. SUFFICIENCY: The petition was declared sufficient by the Plaaning Division on January 14� 1988; 12 parcels eligible, 8 parcels required and 9 parcels signed. C. PARCEL SIZE: The parcel has 100' of froatage on Page Street and a depth of 80' for a total of 8,000 square feet. D. ERISTING IAND USE: This three story, split•level structure has four residential uaits with two attached single car garages. E. ��ROUNDING IAND USE• � � . North: One and two family residential East, South and West: One family residential �` F. ZODTING HISTORY: In 1969. the Planaing Commission denied an application made by ; the previous owner to relax the density requirements of the "A" residential zone �, to allow a four-plex on this site. Subzequent to this decision� a building permit was issued for a duplex on this site. � G. F�NDINGS• t 1. The applicant states that he purchased this pzoperty as a four-plex in 1978. There are two efficiency units fn the basement level. The two 3-bedroom apartments have li�ving area on the second floor and bedrooms on the third floor. The applicsnt lives in one of the tao larger units. 2. To grant legal nonconforming status to uses that fail to meet Section 62.102, the Planning Commission must malce nine findings; 'these requirements and the � applicant's ability to meet them are as follows: ' � . (e) The use occurs entirely �iithfa the existing structure. The two efficiency apartments are on the ground floor of the structure. (b) T'he. use is similer to other uses permitted wfth�n the district. The zoning district boundary between RT-1 (two family) and R-4 (single family) is along the south lot line of the parcel ia question. This property is zoned RT-1 which permits duplexes, but not four-plexes. The existing land use of the surrounding area is primarily single family residential. There are a feW duplexes and vacant lots scattered throughout the area, but no high densitq residential development. (c) This use �s appropriste ar�d is consfstent with the general welfare of the � co�unity and the en,foyraent of the ed,facent property. Permitting high density residential may encourage the erosion of single family neighborhood. File �10253 , Page Z�o (d) ?he u�e lus beea tn ex3stence for : pertod of et 1e�t ten ysars prtor to the application to the plsrmir�g co�isston. -:��:��:.��-;• The applicant states tbat this use existed when he purcbased this propartq in 1978. To support this, be submitted �ith the application a copy of the real estate listing describing the efficiency .units as "mother-in-law" apartments. As well� the Assessor's Office inspection records indicate that in 1969 the structure was a duplex, but by 1970 it may have been illegally com►erted to a four-plex. In 1978, a letter was sent by the city to a • realtor (not the same one that the applicant purchased the property through) stating that the buildiag vas authorized for occupancy as a duplex. (e) The off-street parking iz adequate to serve the use. A new four unit building requires 6 parking spaces, The garages provide off-street parking for two vehicles. The additional parking proposed by ttie applicant is inadequate because it is in the require front yard. . (f) The use is fn substenttal sgreement with the comprehensive plsa. The housiag element of the Comprehenrive Plan states that "com�ersion of existing housing should occur on a limited basis in most neighborhoods to avoid . . disruption of neighborhood ctiaracter. The St. Panl ?o�rrov report findings reaffirm tbe need to preserve single family neighborhoods because of the changes in housing demand. Allowing this nonconforming use to exist may encourage nearby property owners to seek rezoning to convert units or to develop vacant land at higher densities. (g) Aardship would rerult ff the use were discontinued. The applicant submitted a 1987 income statement iadicating the loss he Mould have incurred .if he had been unable to rent the two smaller apartments. • This statement is attached to� the report. The efficiency apartments rent for $250 and $265 a month� and the larger apartment for $675 per mont2i. � (h) Retoning the property would result in s "spot zoning" or e tonfng � inappropriate to the surrounding larid use. � To build a new structure with the existing apartment configuration on this parcel requires RM-2 (multiple family) zoning. Given the�siagle fsmily nature of the neighborhood, a rezoning of this parcel is iaappropriate. (i) Thst a notarized petitton of two-thirds of the property owr:ers within 200 feet of the property has been obtsined ststing support of the use. A sufficient petition was submitted with the application.� H. STAFF ANALYSIS: The app.licant aaintains than his im►estaent the property was based on the income stream from a four plex and that hardship would result if he were unable to rent those two uaits. On the other hand� it is apparent that he did not consult city records prior to his purchasing the property. The buyer is � responsible for confirming the legal zoning status of property prior to the purchase. • �� I. STAFF RECOI�fENDATION: Based on.the staff findings 2 b, c� e, f� and h, and tt►e staff analysis� staff recommends denial of the nonconforming use permit. � . _ .. . . " ' _ . � ..

Page Street, we ask you to deny Mr. � Stewart's application to establish legal nonconforming use status�• for a four-plex at that address. We make this request for the following reasons: 1) The property at that address has been in continuous illegal occupancy for several years; 2) The property does not provide adequate off-street parking; 3) There are improper on-site garbage containers at that address; and 4) In view of the above, we are concerned about possible decrease in single-family property values in the area. We urge you to carefully consider the consequences of Mr. Stewart 's request and to deny his application. Sincere y you s � . Kurt .

I purchased my home in August of 1987 after satisfying my family's requirement that it be a safe neighborhood to raise our one year old child. The block that I live on has a number of families with very young children. It is my coacern that allowing a nonconforming use of the subject property would create increased traffic in the streets and alleyways' which would jeopardize the safety of ouz children. Also, the fact that off- street parking is not in abundance, the alleyways would become more heavily used and possibly be subject to use as a parking lot. � Also, wheri we purchased our home, which is our first, we considered its present value ia terms of future resale.

The resident by whose request I am writing this ietter is aiso the represent�tive tor the Baker Square Chapter to our orqonlzation's Problem Properties Oanmittee,a group of people thet meat reqularly about properties t�at are of concern to neiqhbors,and who have seen first t�ar�d sane of the trends and activities which cxn occur in e neighborhood that cxn l�d to its decline. She,along with a majorlty ot neighbors surramding the property in question,teel strongly that ityou ellow 150-2 W. Paqe to become legelly reaor�ed as a 4-pl�c (ir�stead ot its current zoning as a�plex)that this action would have a negetive affect on the neighborhood, both in the immediate and the potential sen�. First�because the erea is alreedy aoned for duplexes, it alr�dy hes a fair amount ot rental (and henc�absentee rental)properties. It is not herd to surmise that when the mnount of rentals, and especially absentee rentais, incre�es in a neighborhood, it follows that there is less investment in teking cere of one's property. The result is�ot course,a decline in the neighborhood's lmage,decr�sed property value,s,� incr�sed crime rate,and the area becomes a prime txndidete for neighborhood decline in general. Second, if you establish a precedent,even • by exception�for allowing this type of rez�ing,it is plausible that other landlords may see the profit in sesking rezoning on�properties as well -- end possibiy use this declsion as j ustitication tor their�etitions�rezor►in9. Third, residents ere concerned about the inereesed congestion ot oft-street parkinq that wouid be immine.nt if the buildinq becxme a le�e14-plex. With respect to these re�ns being justifable resident corroerns, I would request along with � them that you deny the request for reaoning trom a duplex to a 4-pleac tor 1 SO-2 W. Page. Furtt�rmore� I would request that you teke steps to er�sure that Mr. Stewart operate his duplex � as a du�,as the neighbors are�ell aware that he t�as been operating an illegal 4-plex for some time now.

Stewart and id not appreciate the false information they are trying to use to make �eople in this neighborhood feel guilty about their feelings in this case. I am in the process of selling my home and have found that it will take time because of this problem regarding the rezoning. Prospective buyers are sceptical about making a decision as to buying in thfs area• , until this case has been settle�d. This creates a problem for me in my plan to sell and relocate before the fall season starts. � I am sorry I cannot attend the meeting on Thursday but I have another commitment in Minneapolis and will not be able to get back fn time for the meeting. I do want you to know that I am apposed to the rezoning of the property at 150-152 ly. Page St. St. Paul , MN 55107. Most of the homes in this area are single family homes. The buildings listed in the letter from the lawyer I received are not in this area. Two are in 1;'est St. Paul and one is on Stryker 3 blocks from here.

I have talked to real estate agents in the orea, all ot which haYe verified the tact that our home values will decrease if our Zoning status is changed from RT-1. �hile I can sympathize with Mr. Stewart's situetion, it is hard to justify an entire neighborhood's paying for his faiture to properly investigste an investment as sizeble as land purchase. It this property was buitt tegally in the first place, his petition for legai nonconforming use status would be unnecessary. i don't feel that I, or any of us, should have to feel guilty for trying to maintain a neighborhood worthy of the families that own homes and reside here. �, Sincerely, Judi e 0'Garo ' ��[�ti�� F�� '� .

Saint Paul, MN 55102 � RE: Zoning File Name: Jeror�e Stewart Zoning File Number: 10253 Purpose: To Establish Nonconforming Use Status Dear Messrs: Pursuant to the upcoming above referenced hearing scheduled for May 19, 1988 at 3:30 PM, I submit my opinions with respect to this issue as well as my own property currently under similar circum- stances. My property, 147-149 and 151-153 West Page is located directly across the street from Mr. Stewart's property at 150-152 West Page Street. � � . First and foremost, may I express the fact that the same builder, Tom Isaac,built my two buildings as well as the one owned by Mr. . Stewart. Mr. Stewart' s building was presented and sold to him as a fourplex when he purchased the property ten years ago and has con- tinued to be utilized as such without question up to the present time. The property I purchased in August of 1985 was presented and sold to me as two triplexes by the realtor and the seller and had been utilized in that manner presumably since they were built in 1967. I attach a copy of the realtor's listing indicating same. Ob- viously, both Mr. Stewart and I have been sold property under misre- presentation which has been permitted to exist as multi-dwellings for over twenty years until now. By observation of the surrounding neigh- borhood. . .eight, twelve, eighteen and more unit bui_ldings exist within as near as one block. � Following purchase of my two buiidings, I expended several hundred dollars to clear out � dead trees, tree stumps, cement blocks, old rusty trasti container,discarded windows arid washing machine, wood, metal, old boat filled with trash, metal, paper and', can trash, gar- bage, etc. which was hidden in five �feet of weeds in the rear of the property. I installed slaoke alarms, repaired air conditioners, re- paired windows which fel�l o�t of the frames into the apartment upon a gust of wind,and exercised the use of legal and formal leases to control the use of the property and also pay tenants of one of the units to be caretakers to keep a constant eye on the property as I live a few minutes away. My leases indicate residents below that allowed by the zoning committee in each unit even if it is considered a duplex. I have complied with every City_ ordinance as requested. I have lived in this area for twenty years and respect the residents' desire for a secure and pleasant environment. � . � . �, :-� � -;,�:-- . _ :. • � ' - " ' " ' . • ..:.. . : . � ._ _ . • . � -- . : ' �. • . . .. - - • ' . . . :.. _.

Page 2 May 16, 1988 Re: Jerome Stewart File, Number 10253 I have received complaints regarding parking spaces and I have made every effort (including having vehicles towed away) to ensure only vehicles owned by legal leasing tenants are on or surrounding this property. I pay �6,874.48 annual taxes for this property which should allow adequate parking privilege. In addition, there are two alleys alongside this property which I have snowplowed (the city does not do it), however, am advised my tenants may not park there. I have evicted two tenants who did not comply with the lease agree- ment including a tenant who housed� friends and two large dogs total- ly against the lease. These are problems which do, unfortunately, exist even with the best of management effort within rental property whether it be a single family, duplex, triplex, fourplex or more multi-dwelling. In summary, I �ish �to express my opinion that the properties located at 150-152, 147-149, 151-153 West Page should be allowed legal non- conforming status based upon the fact they have existed in this man- ner for over twenty years and are owned by responsible individuals who exert diligent effort to keep the neighborhood a safe, clean, and pleasant area fpr all residents.
