Counci esolution ,-� _ -- ,s Presented By �- Referre Committee: Date Out of Committee By Date WHEREAS , Eugene Muellner, 1012 James Avenue, Saint Paul , Minnesota 55102, appealed to 'che Planning Commission from the decision of the Planning Administrator in approving a site plan for an 11-unit apartment building to be constructed on the northeast corner of Randolph and I-35 E , the property being described as Lots 21 through 23 , Block 13, Robertson' s Addition; and WHEREAS , this appeal was heard by the Zoning Committee , a subcommittee of the Planning Commission on July 2, 1987 with notice to the appellant and the affected property owners, and following this hearing i,I�e Zoning Commiti.ee adopted a recom- mendation to i,ne Planning Commission that the site plan not be approved as submi-c�ed; and WHEREAS , the Planning Commission did consider the appeal , the staff report dated June 22 , 1987 , the record of testimony presented to its Zoning Committee , and the recommendation of the Zoning Committee and based thereon, the Planning Commission granted the appeal and found that the site plan did not comply with the Zoning Code, based upon the following findings of fact and conclusion: (1 ) On May 19, 1987 the Planning Division staff approved a site plan for an 11-unit three-story apartment building on the northeast corner of Randolph and I-35 E. The plan includes an 18 car parking lot and the only access for the parking lot to public streets would be through the alley behind the property based upon the fact that the property sits approximately 8 feet below the street grade of the adjoining Randolph Avenue. (2) Eugene Muellner filed an appeal from this approved site plan based on the fact that all the cars using the parking COUIVCILME[V Requested by Department of: Yeas Nays [n Favor Against BY Form Approve Atto y Adopted by Council: Date Certified Passed by Council Secretary BY By Approved by Mavor: Date Approved by M or or Submission to Council By BY �, . ��,��-�� lot would have to use the alley and that that would create a traffic hazard for residents on the block. ( 3) The alley serving the block is a dead end alley which exits only on the east end of the block. Since the apartment building is proposed at the west end of the block, all traffic from the building would have to travel virtually the entire length of the block. (4) The 11-unit apartment building meets the density stan- dards for the RM-2 Zoning District in which it is located. The 11 new units would be in addition to 24 dwelling units already existing on the block. (5) There is a practical way to provide access to off-street parking for this site other than through the alley. The site plan can be adjusted to provide under ground parking or the owner may construct a smaller building. (6) The site plan was reviewed and approved by a traffic engineer in the Public Works Department. The department estimated the amount of traffic that this project would create would be between 34 and 46 round trips on an average weekday and that this traffic would not be excessive and would not constitute a traffic hazard for the people living along the alley. (7) One of the conditions of the site plan approval would be that the applicant must sealcoat the alley before a certificate of occupancy could be issued. (8 ) The level of traffic generated on the alley by the apartment building is inappropriate for the single family homes on the north side of the block which also use the alley and would create an unacceptable situation and that the property can be used for a smaller multi-family structure with direct access from Randolph. WHEREAS , the owner of the subject property, Ira Kipp, 895 Randolph Avenue , Saint Paul , Minnesota 55102 , duly filed an appeal to the City Council from this decision of the Planning Commission; and 2.

The Planning Commission based its decision on the fact that the apartment would use the adjacent alley a� the only access to its 18-car parking lot. PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION: Deny (Unanimous) , July 10, 1987 ZONING COMMITTEE DECISION: Deny (7-0) , July 2, 1987 STAFF RECOMMMENDATION: Approve, May 19, 1987 SUPPORT: None OPPOSITION: 3 people testified ZONING HISTORY: A variance for setback requirements was granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals in February, 1987. Dear Sir: Ira Kipp proposes to build an 11-unit apartment building on what is currently vacant property located at the northeast corner of Randolph and 35-E. The apartment building would have 10 one-bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom unit, with 18 off-street parking spaces. Because the property sits approximately 8 feet below the grade of Randolph Avenue, Mr. Kipp proposed to use the alley behind the property to provide access for the parking lot. Planning staff approved the site plan in May 1986. As part of its review, staff discusssed the plan and the proposal to use the alley for access with the Traffic Engineering Section of Public Works. They found that the increased traffic that would be caused by the apartment was not unreasonable and would not cause a traffic safety problem for other residents along the alley. Eugene Muellner, a nearby resident, appealed Planning staff's decision to approve the site plan. The Zoning Committee heard the case on July 2, 1987. Based on their findings that the traffic generated on the alley would be inappropriate for the single family homes to the north of the alley and that the land can be used for a smaller multi-family structure with access from Randolph, the Zoning Committee voted to recommend denial of the site plan, 7-0. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the plan on July 10, 1987. , � . . �-�1-��y� . A1 Olson August 6, 1987 Page 2 Mr. Kipp filed an appeal to the City Council of the Planning Commission's decision on July 13, 1987. The grounds for appeal are that the site cannot feasibly be used without the alley access and that the Traffic Engineer found that alley access is safe and may be preferable to access directly onto Randolph. Please inform me by August 11 if any members of the City Council wish to see slides of the site.

On May 14, 1987, Planning Division s�aff approved a site plan for an 11 unit, 3 story apartment building on the northeast corner of Randolph and I35-E. The plan includes an 18 car parking lot. The only access for the parking lot would be the alley behind the property because the property sits aprox:mately 8 feet below the street grade of Randolph. 2. On June 1, 1987, Eugene Muellner filed an appeal of the approval of the site plan. The appeal is based on the fact that all the cars using the parking lot would have to use the alley, which the applicant contends would create a traffic hazard for residents of the block. 3. The allPy serving the block is a dead-end alley which exits only on the east end of the block. Since the apartment building is proposed at the west end of the block, traffic from the building would have to travel virtually the entire length of the block. 4. An 11-unit apartment building meets the density standards for the RM-2 zoning district. The 11 new units would be in addition to 24 dwelling units already on the block.

There is a practical way to provide access to off-street parking for this site other than through the alley. The site plan can be adjusted to provide underground parking or to construct a smaller building. 6 . The site plan was reviewed and approved by Bob Hamilton, a traffic engineer in the Public k'orks Department, as part of the standard site plan review process. ":r. Hamilton visited the site to observe surrounding conditions . He also produced a computerized estimate of the amount of traffic tha� this project would create showing between 34 and 46 round trips on an average weekday. He concluded that the traffic generated by the apartments would not be excessive �nd did not constitute a traffic hazard for the people living along the alley. (See attached memo and traffic estimates. ) 7. As one of the conditions of site plan approval, the applicant must sealcoat the alley before a Certificate of Occupancy will be issued. 8.

Yi K `f The applicant was present. TheYe was opposition present at the hearing. :� Mr. Beach showed slides of the site and reviewed the staff report with a "� recommendation for approval of the site plan and denial of the appeal. He stated that all apartments, with one exception� are one-bedroom units. Eugene Muellner� 1012 James, distributed pictures of the property and ;'; described the heavy vehicular traffic on Randolph and adjacent side streets , since construction of I35-E. He objected to the potential traffic which would ' ` be generated by apartment occupants. Mr. Muellner stated that they have been told that accessi�tig the property via a long driveway from Randolph would not be feasible� but that he didn't want the alley turned into a long driveway for this apartment building� either. �"Vickie Olsen, 989 Randolph� showed pictures of the alley and stated her concerns regarding alley traffic safety. , Rosemarie Mayer� 1008 James Avenue� said that the alley needs repair, is very �� narrow and difficult to use in normal winter conditions. Robert Sperl, architect� 2575 West Seventh Street, representing Ira Kipp of 895 Randolph� stated that the site was suitable for a multi-family residence. � He stated that his client agreed to sealcoat the alley upon completion of the apartment building. � � Mr. Repke asked when the property was purchased. Mr. Sperl replied that his client. Ira Kipp� has an option on it. Hearing no further testimony� Ms. Morton closed the public portion of the � mee ting. �'� :� Discussion followed regarding reasonable and feasible street/alley access to single and multiple family dwellings. Mr. Repke questioned the possibility of accessing the site with a ramp from Randolph. Mr. Sperl stated that developing a ramp access would make the !; project prohibitively expensive by reducing the number of units and it would ,:� also change the drainage pattern of the area. ; •, � � i , � ��.: ' �`� . � � . � . � � . � - .

PURPOSE: Appeal of a site plan for an 11-unit apartment building approved by Planning Staff B. PARCEL SIZE: 13,857 square feet (120 feet of frontage by 112 feet deep) C. EXISTI?�'G L.AND 'USE: Vacant lot D. SURROUNDING LAND USE: North: Single-family residential East: Multiple-family and single-family residential South: Single-family and duplex k�est: 35-E E. ZGNING CODE CITATION: Section 62.108 Subd 3 (7) states that in order to approve a site plan the Planning Commission must find that the plan is consistent kith the "safety and convenience of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic both within the site and in relation to access streets, including traffic circulation features, the locations and design of entrances and e�its and parking areas within the site." -- F. ZONING HISTORY: In February 1987 the Board of Zoning Appeals granted a variance for this project to reduce the required setback from the orest property line from 25 feet to 4.2 feet. G. FINDINGS: 1. On May 19, 1987, Planning Division staff approved a site plan for an 11 unit, 3 story apartment building on the northeast corner of Randolph and 35-E. The plan includes an 18 car parking lot. The only access for the parking lot would be the alley behind the property because the property sits aproximately 8 feet below the street grade of Randolph. 2. On June 1, 1987, Eugene Mueller filed an appeal of the approval of the site plan. The appeal is based on the fact that all the cars using the parking lot would have to use the alley, which the applicant contends would create a traffic hazzard for residents of the block. 3. The alley serving the block is a dead-end alley which exits only on the east end of the block. Since the apartment building is proposed at the west end of the block, traffic from the building would have to travel virtually the entire l.ength of the block. 4. An 11 unit apartment building r.�eets the density standards for the RM-2 zoni_ng district. The 11 new units would be in addition to 24 dwelling units already on the block. 5. There is no practical way to provide access to off-street parking for this site other than through the alley. Planning staff studied alternatives and found them to be unfeasible: 7 � . � ��>i.�y� � - A ramp' up to a driveway on Randolph Avenue would have to be so long that ' it would take up the entire length of the parking lot and raising the entire lot up to meet Randolph is not practical. - There is no property available to construct an exit for the alley on the west end of the block. 6. The site plan was reviewed and approved by Bob Hamilton, Traffic Engineer, Public Works Department, as part of the standard site plan review process. Mr. Hamilton visited the site to observe surrounding conditions. He also produced a computerized estimate of' the amount of traffic that this project would create snowing between 34 ai�d 46 round trips on an average weekday. He concluded that the traffic generated by the apartments would not be excessive and did not cor.stitute a traffic hazzard for the people living along the alley. (See att�ched memo and traffic estimates. ) 7. As one of the conditions of site plan approval, the applicant must sealcoat the alley before a Certificate of Occupancy will be issued. G. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Base on findings 4 through 7, staff recommends that the Zoning Committee uphold approval of the site plan snd deny the appeal.

The traif3.c division has not deviated fram its initial position regarding this matter . On December 12th, 1986 a report was sen.t to Larry Zangs indicating the traffic concerns of this proposal . They aaere that the parking spaces indicated on the plan as handicapped or compact must be clearly designated in the parking lot (by signs and/or pavement m«rkinys} . No other traffic problems are anticipated due to this development . The area is zoned as medium density residential and the intended use is in line with this zoning. The proposed method of access is ccnsidered by the traffic division to be safe and efficient . Alley access is not unusual for medium density residential . From a perspective of traffic safety, alley access is often considered to be desirable when, as in this case, it eliminates the need to construct additional driveways on a high volume street . Randolph carries 6400 vehicles per day and turning movements are safer at the existing intersections of Chatsworth and Randolph and at Chatsworth and the alley than they would be if an additional conflict point were introduced on Randolph. It is agreed that the apartment operation will increase traffic in the alley. The volume of traffic, however , due to the size and the use of this development , is not considered to be significant enough to be unsafe or out of character for the area. f� , � � ��1—i�� . . .__ . .-.....� -- , . :- .��.�,�.��,��.�. _rr.,..=:,..:.s�� . �andoiph A�artmer.ts ^. � C` T r 71 '�(�� .�l-, r-,�T 3 �r."._� \T �i v*� ?

The applicant proposes to build a new I I-unit apartment building and 18 car parking lot. A variance is needed for front yard setback. The lot fronts Randolph and 35E and for zoning calculations 35E is being considered'the front yard. The applicant is requesting a 4' 2" setback. 2. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code due to circumstances unique to the property which were not creatcd by the owner. The shape and topography of the lot make it difficult to develop an apartment and the required parking without a variance. 3. Thc proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code. It will not impair an adcquate supply of light and air to adjacent property, nor will it alter thc essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. The reduced front yard would face 35E. The front yard is screened from 35E by a wall/sound barrier. Therefore the reduced front yard will not have a negative impact on the pcople living in the building. A walking/biking path has becn built along 35E. With the reduced setback the building will be 25' to 45' from the path. (Calling 35E the front yard makes the Randolph side a side yard. A 15' setback is proposed on Randolph. However, this setback is in keeping with the average front setbacks for the other buildings on this block. The adjacent apartment building is set 15' back from Randolph. In addition the fact that the buiiding will be sitting 8' lower than sidewalk grade wil; reduce its impact on Randolph.) 4. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is not permitted in the zoning district whcre the property is located. 5. The request for variance is based primarily on a desire to fully utilize the sitc rather , than cconomic gain. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals that the provisions of Section 61.101 be hercby waived to allow a front yard setback of 4' 2" on property located at the northeast corner of 35-E and Randolph Avenue and legally described as Lots 21, 22, 23, Block 13, Robertson's Addition; in accordance with thc application for variance and the site plan on file with the Saint Paul Planning Division.

Fourth St. Zoning File Name : KIPP St . Paul , Mn 55102 Attn: Tom Beach This is in regard to the property located at lOXX Randolph Ave . , Lots 21 , 22 , 23 , Block 13 , Robertson' s addition. As we understand, you are considering varing 2 of the Zoning Code requirements for the construction of an 11-unit apartment building. We feel that this should not take place . We have two children, ages � and 7 , who cannot play in their own front yard because of the traffic on Randolph. We no longer have our dog because he �,as hit by a car. The construction of another apartment building will mean 11 more cars going past our property and our children at least twice a day. This increase in traffic poses a greater risk to our children. Is our alley to be considered a thoroughfare? It is a dead-end alley and the apartment building( s ) are on the dead-end side . Would our property be considered as being located on the driveway to the building( s ) ? who then pays for the snow plcwing? We shouldn ' t have to because the alley now belongs to the apartment as a driveway. Please consider the safety of our children as well as the seven other children on the biock who use the alley for playing hop-sco�ch and basketball . We have no desire to see our children as we saw our pet . Sin rel � � 4 � � �� 1 � � Mr . & Mrs . � .�. u " 11`er , Gabriel Mueller and Jaymie Mueller 999 Randolph Ave . St .

The meeting was called to order by Mr. Manillo, Chair. The minutes for the May 14, 1987, HPC meeting were approved with three editorial changes suggested by Mr. Angell. PUBLIC HEARING: l. 289 E. Sth Street Globe College of Business Sign Torstenson presented staff report and informed the Commission that the applicant had submitted an alternative proposal which involved a canvas sign attached to the marquee of the building in lieu of a wooden sign hanging from the marquee. Angell reported that the Design Review Committee voted to recommend denial of the original proposal. Tuna asked if Market House management had a policy concerning signage for tenants, and whether Globe College of Business could install a window sign. Ron Handlos, Administrative Director of the College, stated that the College is located in the basement of the building, and thus a window sign would be impossible. He indicated that the proposed sign was temporary, and when the remaining 8000 sq. ft. of the building had been leased a permanent method of signage for all tenants could be adopted. He felt that the temporary sign had a tasteful and complimentary design, and commented that a restaurant in the building had also attached a canvas banner to the marquee of the building. Angell remarked that the DRC denial had been based on the position of the original sign, and felt that a temporary sign attached to the marquee would be reasonable. ' Motion: To deny original proposal for a hanging wooden sign. Moved by: Committee Motion passed unanimously. 1 M�HITE - CITY CLERK � PINK - FINANCE G I TY O F SA I NT PA LT L Council �j�� CANARV -9EPARTMENT BLUE� - MAV�'OR File NO. - . � � Counc ' Resolution ' � ' I Presented By 'v Referre o Committee: Date Out of Committee By Date WHEREAS , Selby-Summit Partnership, Ltd. haa applied for a building perm'it to co:istruct a ne�v 32 unit 4-story apartment building with an underground garage an� a driveway at 252 Selby, between Selby and Maic?en Lane and �chis property is located within the city designated Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District; and WHEREAS , all preliminary applications and plans for buildings to be constructed in the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District is subject to �the approval or disapproval of the Heritage Preservation Commission pursuant to the terms of Section 73. 07 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code, which section provides that the Commission shall determine if the proposed work to be performed adversely affects the program for the preservation and architectural control of the Heritage Preservation site or district; and WHEREAS , the Heritage Preservation Commission by its Reso- lution No. 756 adopted June 11 , 1987 and following a public hearing thereon found and determined that the proposed building application and plans did not conform with the approved program for the preservation of the Heritage Preservation District in that the proposed combination of brick and narrow restoration vinyl siding material on the buildings do not relate to existing adjacent buildings and therefore the Commission denied the application for a building permit to construct the 32 unit four-story apartment building as proposed; and WHEREAS , the Selby-Summit Place Limited Partnership did appeal �Chis decision of the Heritage Preservation Commission to the Saint Paul City Council pursuant to the provisions of Section 73. 07 of the Legislative Code and the City Council having conducted a hearing and having heard from all interested COUNCILMEN Yeas Nays Requested by Department of: In Favor Against BY Form Approved y C y Attorney Adopted by Council: Date Certified Yassed by Council Secretary BY By A►pproved by i4lavor: Date Approved ayor for Submission to Council By BY
