BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS DECISION: Determined that the Zoning Administrator erre in an original ecision to grant a certificate of occupancy for three. units and held that the property has legal nonconforming status as a duplex. (5-1) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To determine that the Zoning Administrator erred in is ecision, an urther recomnended the Zoning Administrator be directed to instruct the landowner of the proper procedure to rezone the subject property for two or three units or to re-establish legal nonconforming use status for a second unit. SUPPORT - ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION: Four individuals representing First Trust Company A y Weed Grey Trust) and a former resident. OPPOSITION: Letters from the Merriam Park Community Council , Desnoyer arc Improvement Association and 11 neighbors. Testimony from appellants, Mr. & Mrs. McLaughlin, and two other individuals. Dear Sir: On November 8, 1983, the Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing on the appeal of John McLaughlin to a decision by the Zoning Administrator to grant a certificate of occupancy for three units at 497 Otis. Staff recommended the Board find that the Zoning Administrator erred and that the Board grant the appeal of John McLaughlin. The Board reviewed the staff report and correspondence on the matter, solicited testimony from the appellants and others opposed to the Zoning Administrator's decision as well as staff to the Building Department, and representatives of the First Trust Company and others supporting the Zoning Administrator's decision. The Board found that the third unit was illegally established and cannot be occupied, and further determined that that the use of the structure held legal nonconforming status as a duplex continuously by reason of the following: (a) The structure continues to be manifestly arranged with two units, having separate kitchens, bath facilities, and entrances; (b) The two residential units were legally ;%�- � �� , Zoning File #9485 - McLaughlin Page 2 created and sanctioned by the City of St. Paul ; and (c) The structure was taxed as a 2-unit residential structure by the County of Ramsey. The Board also directed the Zoning Administrator to require the property owner of 497 Otis to remove an unlawfully created third unit as a condition to continue the second unit with legal nonconforming status. On December 2, 1983, Mr. John McLaughlin filed an appeal of the Board's decision that the structure held legal nonconforming status as a duplex. Appellant contends that the Board erred in fact by not recognizing the structure reverted to conforming status as a single-family residence because the second unit was discontinued for 365 days or more. The appellant also contends that the Board made a procedural error by not referring the matter to the Planning Commission, a properly empowered comnission to determine if a second nonconforming unit should be re- established pursuant to Section 62.102 Subd. 5(5) . The primarily issue f acing the City Council is to determine if the Board of Zoning Appeals erred in finding the use of the second unit was continued as legally nonconforming without actual occupancy established during the preceeding year. If the City Council finds that legal nonconforming status of the second unit requires active occupancy during the preceeding year the Council may hold that the structure is a single-family dwelling and that the second unit may be re-established only by Planning Comnission or City Council through rezoning or Change of Nonconforming Use Permit. If active occupancy is not a requirement of continuous use, the City Council may find that the Board of Zoning Appeals acted properly in their deliberation of the case. This matter is scheduled to be heard by the City Council on December 29, 1983. Please notify me by December 28 if any member of the City Council wishes to have slides of the site presented at the City Council public hearing. Si � ` � i red S. Haider Zoning Section, P.E.D.

December 2, 1983 The Honorable Victor Tedesco, President - City Council and all members of City Council � . Dear Mr. Tedesco, et al : This writer is filing an appeal under Section 62-102 - Sub.-Div. 5, paragraph 5, in regard to the Board Of Appeals verdict rendered two weeks ago. This is in regard to this appellant and the home at 497 Otis Avenue, St . Paul, Minnesota 55104 , known as the Abby Weed Gray Home. It is the writer ' s belief that the Board Of Appeals erred in allowing a duplex at the above listed. �'e. feel the Board Of Appeals went beyond their jurisdiction. We feel this matter should have been referred to the Planning Commission. The home listed at 497 Otis Avenue has been a single family dwelling for over 365 days.. Testimony presented at the hearing misled the committee and no one had an opportunity to ask any questions. Very few functions occurred at the above premises and although slides were presented, there were no interior photographs or slides of the . � single family residence. � Further evidence will be forwarded to your body in the immediate future. It is our feeling that the Board Of Appeals erred in not dealing with occupancy, but only took into consideration the physical characteristics of the building. We would� request a Thursday, December 29, 1983 hearing date because all of the neighbors would like to be present at your hearing and many of the neighbors will be available to testify on that day. If there is any further information necessary, please feel free to contact this writer in the immediate future . � Very uly yours, -�/"��% Ic�� .,G�-- ��hn �1T. A�cL �g�lin , 491 Otis Av, ny�e St . Paul , A�id� 645-734I ' } � MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS IN - CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, NOVEMBER 8, 1983 PRESENT: Mme. Morton; Messrs. Grais , Kirk, Osborn, Peterson and Woods of the Board of Zoning Appeals; Mr. Segal , Assistant . City Attorney; Ms. Lane of the Division of Housing and . Building Code Enforcement; Ms. Beseman and Mr. Haider of the Planning Division Staff. ABSENT: Mme.. Summers. The meeting was chaired by Gladys Morton, Chairman. JOHN W. MCLAUGHLIN (#9485) : An appeal of a decision by the Zoning � . � A min�stratar to grant a Certificate of Occupancy for three units at 497 Otis. The aplicant was present. There was opposition present at the hearing. � Mr. Haider showed slides of the site and reviewed the staff report with a recomnendation that the Zoning Administrator erred and that the Board grant the appeal of John McLaughlin. Staff further recorrmended that the Zoning. Administrator be directed to reverse the decision to issue a Certificate of Occupancy at 497 Qtis and to instruct the landowner of the proper procedure required to rezone the s ubject property for two or three units or to re- establish legal nonconforming use status for a second unit. Letters were . . received from the Merriam Park Corrmunity Council and 11 residents in � support of the appeal . Councilman Fletcher submitted a letter in support � of the appeal stating that the house should not be considered a triplex nor . granted a certificate of occupancy for three units. Ms. Lane explained that the Zoning Code provides two provisions for allowing a nonconforming use to exist as a legal nonconforming use. One .is if a permit was issued to establish that use and the other is if a use has been in existence for 20 years prior to the effective date of the code, it is allowed to remain. The second unit was added under a permit in 1949 to create a duplex. The third unit was considered under the second provision. The third unit was created illegally but the second provision is a way to .Tegalize illegally created units or uses of any type. According to the Assessor's Office, an assessor was out there in 1951 and found a third unit in the basement that was not occupied at that time. The Building Department only looked at the physical configuration that there were 3 units there since at least 1956. That is all they ever look at in reviewing certification f or zoning compliance. They never look at the occupancy because that information is generally never known to them. The provision to allow re-establishment of nonconforming uses that have been discontinued or ceases to exist for 365 days is within the power of the Planning Commission . For commercial uses the Building Department has been referring them back to the Planning Commission but not for residential uses because there are no physical changes. Many of the buildings are inspected for the first time and they are only reinspected every 3 years, so they don 't know what the occupancy is over the years . } 1 John W. McLaughlin (#9485) . Page 2 Jeanne Shaw, Building Inspector, reported that she inspected the building. on September 29, 1983. � At that time she found that the first and second floor apartments were extremely similar. They each had a kitchen, � bathroom, and 3 �bedrooms. The second floor also adjoins with the third . floor. In the basement unit there was a kitchen, bathroom, and 1 bedroom. She felt the units� had been establi�shed at or about the same time because a11 the woodwork was the same throughout and the tile on the floor is the type that was used back in the 1940s and ear1y ,1950s. A� the time of inspection, the entire building was vacant. Mr. Grais asked how many entrances there were to the building. Ms. Shaw stated that there is a side entrance that services the basement, first and second floors. The first floor also has a front and rear � entrance; zhe second floor has a separate rear entrance; and the basement � apartment enters from the side but can also exit through a cellar entrance. ' . John McLaughlin, 491 Otis , testified that he has lived next door to 497 � Otis f.or 17 years and during that time there has been only one person ' living there. Once during the past 17 years , Mrs . Grey had a student there and that was the only other known inhabitant of the building. Betty Jane McLaughlin, 491 Otis, stated that she did not feel adequate checking was done by the Zoning Administrator. She referred to Abbey Grey's autobiography which stated that in 1964 she redesignedthe upper � � � second floor of the St. Paul home for the Grey Foundation gallery. Early in the book it refers to the f.act that at that time Mrs . Grey did not own the property but re.nted it. It does make reference that the landlord redesigned it f or her. There are no permits that would have constituted redesigning walls or changes of that nature. In 1975 Mrs. Grey summarizes the f act that in January she shipped over 700 artworks to New York University. It also notes termination of the Abby Grey Foundation. If ' there is some emphasis on allowing a triplex because of a gallery on the second floor, most of the artwork was not kept upstairs but rather in the garage. Mrs. Grey always .indicated her concern about the area and keeping it as a single family neighborhood. Mr. Grais asked Mrs . McLaughlin if she would object to a duplex. Mrs . McLaughlin stated that the proper procedure should be followed and a rezoning petition filed. She indicated that they would not sign the petition. Marueen Heap, 1841 Dayton, read a statement from the Merriam Park Com�unity Council in support of the appeal . Carol Thera, 498 Otis , testified that Mrs . Grey was the only occupant of the house. Occasionally she did have students who lived there and took care of the yard and house. At no time did she ever rent out the property. . . .: _ . . . _ _ � : . _ . .. - �f.. _ � _ �� .3 7�° , _: ..,.: �: x :r� -- - _,� _ '. ��-�r_ . ::�-a,►�e:�: _.. ...� . , • i.�s - 1 � _ '^,-x:^-...� � i..�'�kr t b -.. :1. _ a � . „ l.�..., ac . . .w �� YNi -.e13. y�y�jl�! - - w � �-..r�.. �t•�s.. .�k r _ ' _ ' ' - _ � . � i:.�'� . , . _ iAM �,E• ' +J..- :': -�.-.-� �., .�..w� �. � ,�,h s` � �l�Mk ' .°�' : '. .�a+ .� `�' _� S 1 1 "i �t�`'k..lwr�iva3r Y S'r✓�rk �� _."``�=s..f 7 �" l 4 '"'"-"�r,,,, 'c$�HH�L..�'X'a: �-�ue.+�.i fd�o J ��,,�� . �r _ '�`s � t� �..�-"�'?y'�H'�.� � a, r"s �r,� 3� - �".wrN�cV�+'i ...e.. ,.. .._,.,�,. �„ a.=�� . - �t ,.` '� ._:. ,_ . �'t u.tM " ...'... _ .....a . � -sM: ".r"�:.

McLaughlin (#9485) Page 3 Don Cauley, 1500 First National Bank Building of St. Paul , speaking on behalf of First Trust Company which administers the estate of Abby Grey,. . stated that Mrs. Grey's use �of the property was not consistent with the single family use. She used a considerable part of the gallery space for the activities of her foundation. There were many art students who lived on the second and third floor un}ts, and there were also caretakers living � there. The use of the house was active and �continuous as a duplex and possibly as a triplex until the last year of her life. The property is not viable as a single family home but was designed and is viable as a duplex or triplex. � � Mr. Grais asked if they would agree to a duplex. Mr. Cauley stated that he thought the bank would be very f avorable toward a duplex. It would be difficult to sell the structure as a single f amily home and it would be a problem to the neaghborhood if the house were to . remain vacant. Paul Kelley, senior Vice-President of First Trust Company of St. Paul, reported that their first contact with Mrs. Grey was in 1970. At that time � the second floor of the house was being used as an art gallery and most of - the artw�ork was there. At the time of her death, there were 67 folding - chairs in a closet upstairs which had been used f or art meetings, lectures and various art functions. He stated that to his knowledge Mrs. Grey never received any income from the property but there were students, curators and caretakers who lived there. . � Charles Larson, 1725 Arona, Falcon Heights, testified that he lived at 497 Otis for about 3 years and offered services as a caretaker. When he was living there, three rooms on the second floor were galleries and the kitchen was used for differe�t art functions. He was allowed to use the kitchen on the second floor when he entertained, and there was a writer from New York that would stay there for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. He stated that Mrs . Grey always viewed the house as being more than a private residence and it became a tool- for her artwork. �She talked about donating the property to the University for use as an international student center. In 1975 when the foundation ended, Mrs. Grey did not stop what she was doing, she continued to seek out artists that she could promote. Clapp Thomssen, with Clapp Thomssen Real Estate, stated that they have a purchase agreement subject to the structure being a triplex. If it is converted to a single family house, it will seriously depreciate the value of the property. As a single family dwelling, it will have 11 bedrooms Hearing no further testimony, Ms. Morton closed the public hearing portion of the meeting. - Mr. Grais moved denial of the appeal and determined legal nonconforming use of the structure as a legal nonconforming 2-unit residential structure, and ......... .. . l�i1 F'� i. . . . - `.4';- . r .'

Section 62.102 Subdivision 5 states: "if a lawful use of a structure exists at the effective date of the adoption or amendment to this code that would not be allowed in the district under the terms of this code, the lawful use may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful .. . ." � The property was zoned "A" Residence until adoption of the current ' code. Only single-family and two-family residences were law�ful uses in . the "A" Residence zone. Therefore, an illegaliy established third unit � cannot be continued as a legal nonconforming use. 2. Section 62.102 states it is the intent of this code to permit legal � � � nonconforming. . . uses existing on the effective date of this code, or � amendment thereto to continue until they are removed. . . , and f or the purposes of this section, a use will be presumed legally nonconforming if it can be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that prior to the effective date of the code the use was established pursuant to � building permits issued by the City of St. Paul . . . . The Board finds that the second residential unit was legally established with a building permit and that the unit was never physically removed. 3. Section 62.105 Subdivision 5(5) reguires that when legal nonconforming uses of a structure are discontinued or cease to exist for 365 days, the structure shall thereafter be used in conformance with the regulations of the district (restricted to single-f amily residential structure in this case) . The Board finds that the use of the structure held legal nonconrorming • � status as a duplex continuously by reason of the following: (a) The structure continued to be manifestly arranged with two units with separate kitchen and bath facilities and separate entrances . (b) The two residential units were legally created and sanctioned by the City of St. Paul ; and (c) The structure was tzxed as a two unit residential structure by the C�unty of Ramsey. m�Vedb�/ Mr. Y,i rk y SeC�n�ed �y Mr. Grai s _ in favor 4 against o . : � T�•'iE L'i�'iT/fiPpEhL �C�^,T? �.C�.� .C'J c__ _ `�,'��c CIC� rOR: Ti ''� i � � � � , _ _ _ - ?0 1.2� ' � � .

AREA & FRONTAGE: 100' frontage along Otis Avenue by 160' �long �he interior lot ines f or 6,0 0 square feet of total lot area. C. SITE & AREA CONDITIOHS: The site is occupied by a large older residential structure with 3 separate bathrooms and kitchens. The surrounding land uses are , primarily low density residzntial . Interstate 94 and Highway 280 are located � approximately 3 blocks north. The Town and Country Club is 7ocated a block east and the Mississippi River is located approximately Z blocks west. 0. ADMIt�ISTRATI��E REVIEW: Section 64.206(1) of the Zoning Code gives the 8oard of � � Zoning Appeals the� power of administrative review: "To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged by the appellant that there is an error in any order, requirement, permit, decision, or refusal :made by the Zoning Admi�istrator or any other administrative official in carry-ing out or enforcing any provisions of this code." . � E. FINDINGS: � ". 1 . A single-family residence was moved onto 495-497 Otis Avenue in 1947 and, pursuant to a building permit issued t��ay 5, 1949 to alter and repair the structure, was converted to two units . A third unit k�as added in the basement by 1951 according to assessor's records. Currently the structure has three complete dwelling units with separate kitchens , bathrooms, and entrances. The lots are zoned R-3 (single-f amily residential ) . 2. Section 62.102 Subdivision 5 states: orf�mendment toethis�codet�thatev;ould�s at the effective date of the adopt�on not be allowed in the district under the terms of �his code, the lawful use may be continued so long as it remains otherw�ise law�ul . . . ." The prcperty was zoned "A" Residence until �doption of �he carrent code. Only single-family and two-family residences Y.ere la�;�ul uses in �ne - "A" Residence zone. Therefore, an ille�gally establis��d tnird unit canno� be continued as a legal nonconforming use. 3. Section 62.105 Subdivision 5(5) allows a legal nonco��or�;�ing use to continue to exist if certain conditions are met. The secor.d residen�ial unit ��as legally establ,ished vri�h a building permit (see exhibit} and never physically removed. Ho��ver, the nonconforming use vras nc� con�inuc::s during the past 365 days as c.ode requi res .

Certificate of Occupancy without addressing the'ques�ion of previous occupancy status or whether the use was discontinued for�a period of 365 days � or ionger. � 4. District Court Judge Archie L. Gingold defined continuous use in an order for judgement in a recent case concerning nonconforming use status. This judgement stated: "Contiriuous� use does not mean that all three units - must have been rented out at al1 times . Continuous use means that the use of the �property �prior to the ordinance was so active and actual that it .can be said the property owner�. acquired a vested interest in its continuance�: City of Lake Geneva vs. Smuda.° The Zoning Administrator did not require the applicant f or permit to provide clear and convincing evidence that� the use of the buildirig was so active and actual that the current or f ormer landor�r acquired a vested interest in its continuance as any use other than a one-family residence. 5. Section 62.102 Subdivision 1 states it is the intent of the code to "permit legal nonconforming uses. . . to continue until they are removed but not encourage their survival ." The Zoning Administrator reviewed the physical configuration of the building and assessor' s records to determine that the nonconf orming �se was not removed. While this determination was correct as a limited finding, it was not sufficient reason to issue the Certificate of �. Occupancy in light of the previous zoning classification � and occupancy states of the property. F. STAFF At�ALYSIS: - � - Legal nonconforming status for three units: A critical consideration in this . case is that only law�ul uses existing on�the effective date of this code may be continued as nonconforming uses. The highest density lawful use on the effective date of th2 code was f or 2 residential units . 7he Zoning Ad�ninistrator erred in his decision to grant a Certificate of Occupancy that would allow an . � unlawful use to continue. �� . Re-establishment of the second nonconformin unit: Section 62. 102 Su division 5 5 provides for the re-establishment of vacant nonconf orming uses if the Planning Commission,� subsequent to a public hearing, makes certain �findings regarding the economic hardship and physical and social impact of re- establishing the legal nonconforming use. The second residential unit was created legally and was never physically removed. However, the use ol the second unit was discontinued f or a period of 3�5 days or longer and the use can only be re-established by the Planning Commission. 6. STAFF RECO�•1NiEt�DATION: Based on findings 2 �hrough 5 and the staff �nalysis , staff recorrrnends that the Board of Zoning Appeals find that the Zoning � Administrator erred in a decision to issue a Certifica�e of Occupancy for property located at 497 Otis and reco„rnends that the Board of Zoning nppeals orant the appeal of John McLaughlin, and further recomT�ends that the �oning Administrator be directed to reverse the decision to issue a C°rtificate of Occupancy at 497 Otis and to instruct the l�ndowner of the proper procedure required to rezone the subject property f or two or three units or to re-�stablish legal nonconforming use status for a second unit. . . _ � ^ ; !� ` �I ;i � � - � cn i I _' : � iI l � 'i fl � O ' _ � 0 ' � _ � ��n ` f '' '� > j �(� ; '� 0 a z � ; � � _. i �j - n n i p ;i�.3 { �' �� 0 �V � o II Z n Z > r " � y � , � �= � > > > > � ;�� i "Q ;; � r� � � � mn � � � i `, > .. 7 �:� Z _ -i -! -{ -1 � \ t� � �i � ^'1 � --r Z� 7 T` � � -� - a -� s ;� �-; 0 _ r - - "� ��° � �[\�` ! � ( n Cm1 I �'� { p r � , ' ` ° Z C J i> � �'> > ,> � r � II �I N iI �`'• � i 0 �{ I • �Z'� � > , N '^i � � � f � - - w J J p m �i_�. � _� �7 r � � I � � � � • o _ � � { � � , ;i I � �• z � � C � � o c o -{ � ; �c ; '+� i�_ }� p � f �/ � � � ! ; _ � '^ " - _ - � ';� � �f � O � r� �N z � � ~ � O � i� v �( ; �� (1 � I �, � c —{ n �� - � :� � { ; .-, r n .� � ^ �f . a I;� � �� I� Om � m T �� •� � ,v I� "^,I � i' h � � I !

' St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 G entlem en: . � • , � . . I am ti�riting to request an Administrative Revie�� of a cecision by Glen Eriekson, Zoning Administrator, regarding the property at 497 Otis Avenue. The letter of October 5, 1983, from Glen Erickson, Zonin; Administrator, erred in determining that the use of 497 Otis Avenue as a three-unit bu�ding is a legal conforming use. Section 62.102, Subdivision 1 of the Saint Paul Zoning Code requires that "s use will be presumed legally non-conforming if it can be demonstrated by clesr and convincing evidence that prior to the effective date of this cooe, the use H�as established, converted, or enlarged pursuant to building permits issued by the City of . St. Paul; or if it can be demonstrated by clear �nd convincing evidence that the particular use had been in existence continuously for twenty years prio: to the effective date of the code". . In regard to the first criteria of the code, the Zoning Administrator's letter does not . ��address the existence of any building permit to establish, convert, or enlarge the single-family swelling to a triplex. In fact, the Housing �r►d Building Coce file my representative reviev��ed sho�xs a building� permit application datec� October 9, 1947 to move the structiae to the present location at 497 Otis Avenue, Lots 28 a.nd 29, Block � 19, Desnoyer Park Addition, listing the structure as a singlE-family d�velling. In regard to the second criteria of the code, the Zonir.g �.dministrator's letter does not provide any evidence that the particular use as a triplex hae been in existence continuously for twenty years prior to December 13, 196�. Both my �.vife and I, and several neighbors and past neighborhood residents, cen testify that 49 r O±is Avenue has not been continuously used as a triplex or a duplex for tvaent�� years. Ms. Gray occupied that struct�e alone for all of the past t.v;enty vears. n�r. Erickson's letter stated that the property has been assessed fo* three units since I949. However, my representative's review of the �ssessor's reco:ds sho��s 497 Otis Avenue assessed as � duplex. ' � L�stly, the use of 497 Otis Avenue es a legal non-conrormir.� (� �r:a?e�) use cees not meet the criteria set forth in Section 62.102, Subdivision � (p�ra�r�ph �) of the St. Paul Zoning Code. 11y neighbors can testify to the fact th2t ^.97 O��s A��e�:�.:e h�s not ��en used �s anything other than a single-iamil�T dwelling �for m�.*�� ve�rs. Furthermore, the structure �.nd l��d can reasonAbl�� .nd eccno:�ieall�� 5e u�e� fo: a ' conforming use; the current use as a single-f�mily c•,ti�ellin; is mo�e �?��opri�te to the R-3 District than � a triplex, znd a single-family use is cc^sisten� :�:ith t�e he�lth, • � � - - . . . . _ : oy� � . _Z_ safety, morale and general ��elfare�� of the community, and is consistent ti•:ith the reasonable use and enjoyment of adjacent property, as c�emonstrEted by l�s. Gray herself. , . Due to the reasons stated above, I respectfully request a Tevieti�: o� the Zoning Administrator's determination of 497 Otis Avenue �s a triplex. Additional information and evidentiary material will be submitted as it becomes available. - V er �uly yours ' � . ��t'"'^""�v/� � John W.

These errors included: 1. The Board erred in procedure by not allowing the appellant, John McLaughlin, the opportunity torebut the testimony by the ' opposition or to question the opposition. The appellant was informed by PED staff that they would be allowed time to respond. This did not occur. 2. The Board received inaccurate information from Mr. Larson, a representative of the opposition, regarding the usage of 497 Otis Ave. According to testimony provided at the hearing and information gathered at subsequent neighborhood meetings, 497 Otis Ave. was not frequently used lectures, gallery showings, etc. 3. The Board received incorrect information from Mr. Thomssen, the realtor, who described 497 Otis Ave. as a 11 bedroom home if sold as a single family structure. Before the inspection by the Housing Division the property was listed for sale in the paper as "space plus'.. . .497 Otis Ave. , 7 bedrooms, 2 ;�itchens, etc. 4. The Board did not have the authority to determine that 497 Otis Ave. was a duplex. The Zoning Code clearly states "that When a nonconforming use of a structure. . . is discontinued or ceases to exist for 365 days, the structure, , , shall thereafter be used in conformaance with the regulations. . . . unless the planning commision, pursuant to a public hearing, finds that the structure . ... . cannot reasonably or economically be used for a conforming purpose.� s • Page 2. . .. .Testimony regarding 497 Otis Ave. Due to the above reasons, the Merriam Park Community Council 6eleives the City Council is Legally bound to uphold the appeal of John McLaughlin regarding 497 Otis Ave. � �� y- .��d' � � � ST. � PAUL CITY CaU � CIL PUBLIC HEAR iNG N OTI CE ZONtNG � To: Property owners within 350 feet; Representatives of Planning District 13 FIL E N 0. 9485 PAGE P U R P 0 S E To consider an appeal of a Board of Zoning Appeals decision that finds the structure at 497 Otis to hold nonconforming status as a duplex.rApp.e.11,ant contends that the Board made a � procedural error in continuing the nonconforming status of the second unit and not referring the matter to the Planning i si n fo ublic hearin �ocAT�ar� .

EMILY L. LEWIS I , Emily L. Lewis, am a sister of Abby Weed Grey. I am well acquainted with Abby' s house located at 497 Otis Avenue, Saint Paul, Minnesota and Abby's use of the house. The house has three separate apartments and each apartment has its own kitchen and bathroom. Prior to buying the house, Abby rented the apartment on the first floor of the building. During the time that Abby rented her apartment, the other apartments were occupied by other tenants. After Abby bought the house, she continued to use the house as more than a single family dwelling. For many years, the second floor apartment was used as a gallery for Abby's extensive art collection. The gallery was also used on numerous ocassions for music groups, lectures, slide presentations and various art exhibitions. The apartment located on the �h ; floor of the house was also frequently occupied by students. Abby would not accept any rent from the students, but the students generally helped Abby with the yard work and shoveled the walks in the winter in exchange for their room. Abby also frequently used the separate apartments to house persons from out of town who were lecturing at the University of Minnesota or Hamline University. In addition, Robert Littman, director of the Grey Gallery at New York University, frequently used one of the apartments in the house when he was in St. Paul on business. Since Abby's house has three separate apartments and each apartment has its own kitchen, I believe that the house is best suited as a multi-family dwelling rather than a single family home. Use as a multi-family dwelling conforms with the neighborhood, because there are several other multi-family dwellings on the same block as Abby' s house. �._,Z � � , Emily L.

Attn. : Mr. Gregory A. Kvam 1500 First National Bank Bldg. St. Pau1,MN 55101 Dec. 23, 1983 Dear Mr. Kvam, I am responding to your request for information concerning my recollection of how my Aunt, Mrs. Abby Grey used her home at 497 Otis Ave. , St_ Pau1,MN. The house was first moved onto the lot many years ago (perhaps 25 years) and was rented out as, I believe, a triplex. Two teachers from Summit School lived there, before my Aunt began renting the first floor. Also, I remember a young medical student, his wife and baby lived in the lower level (basement) apartment before or right after my Aunt took up residence there. My Aunt rented the first floor apartment after her husband died, so she could live close to my mother, Agnes Weed Stoddard and us kids. She developed her keen interest in art over the years, and eventually rented the three floors for her own use. The third floor was always used as an art gallery, altho' there was a workroom used for various people she hired, to work on her collection. Also, there was a spare bedroom on the West end, which was used by many people who visited her, including my husband and myself. The ground floor was basically used as her living area . The basement apartment was used as just that- an apartment for friends, associates and family to use for long or short duration. Eventually, Abby found that by purchasing the building, she would be investing in a good real estate buy. So she purchased it from the owner. Over the years, many people have stayed in the upstairs bedroom. Charles Larson used the attic room for a number of years, as well as the bath on the top floor. I 'm not sure that rent was charged, but he did help her a great deal with maintenance work around the house. I used the basement apartment extensively during the last seven years. I often came to visit my Aunt, about every two weeks, and stayed there from one to three days usually. (continued) � . - ., 2. During 1983 my Aunt needed 24-hour nursing care. My Aunt, Emily Lewis and I made arrangements through Medical Persont�el Pool to hire this service for Abby. I believe that since about April lst, she had someone living with her until her death in early June. That person lived in the ground floor apartment with my Aunt. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to you. Sincerely � Abby . arier Rt.

I have been the director of the Grey Art Gallery and Study Center for the past six and one half years. In that time I visited the late Abby Weed Grey at her residence at 497 Otis Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota approximately five to six times each year. These meet- ings were to review with Mrs . Grey the current and future activities of the Gallery as well as to edit with her the recent autobiographical publication, "The Picture is the Window/The Window is the Picture. " During these conferences I occupied the basement apartment at 497 Otis Avenue. I had my own key and was free to come and go as if I were staying in a separate residence. I met with Mrs. Grey at prescribed times and went about other business that I had to attend to in the �ain Cities. Mrs. Grey' s own separate quarters were on the ground floor and the Ben and Abby Grey Foundation' s offices and gallery, while in operation, and Abby Grey' s archives were on the second floor of 497 Otis Avenue. During a two year period the third apartment unit at 497 Otis Avenue on the third floor was rented to a Charles Larsen or was occupied by those guests who were attending special meetings , seminars , or symposia at nearby scholarly institutions. Each of the three apartments had a separate entrance, bathroom, kitchen facilities and were completely independent of each other. Therefore, to my knowledge , during the six and one half years of my acquaintanceship with Abby Weed Grey her residence was divided into three apartment units that were continually in use throughout the year. � Sincerely ours , __ � \ � _- , __.

Otis Avenue MaLauqhlin Appeal Dear Council�ean Fletcher; � I discussed the matter of the above appeal with the Building Division Planning Staff, the McLaughlins, and members of the Merriam Park Community Council's Hous�ng Committee members, and I would like to clarify the Merriam Park Community Council's view of the issues regarding• the ZoniAg Administrator's decision to issue a Certificate of Occupancy for three units at 497 Otis Avenue. Wendy Lane's memorandum of December 30, 1983 appears to accurately reflect tl�e Planning Staff's finding ar� our Council's belief that when use of a legal non-conforming unit is discontinued for 365 days, the use can only be re- established xith Planning Camnission approval. Section 62.102, Subd. 5 (5) clearly requires that: (5) [it�en a non-conforsing use of a structure, or structure and land in coabination, is discontinued or ceases to exist for 365 days, tt�e structure, or structare and land in conbination, shall thereafter be used in confor�ance rith the regulations of the district in which it is located, unless the Planninq Comission, pursuant to a public hearing, firrds that the atructure, or structure and land in ca�bination, cannot reasonably or economically be used for a con- for�aing purpose, that the proposed use is equally appropriate or �re appropriate to the district than the previous non-conforaing use, and that the proposed use is consistent with the health, safety, abrals, and general welfare of the camaunity and is consistent with the reasonable use and enjoyment of adjacent property. Ms. Lane's memorandum gces on to indicate that the cade dces not address actual occupancy, and to send (vacated) units to the Planning Commisaion is absurd. However, the code requires continued use to maintain non-conforming status. Use is defined as: . � 60.221.U. Use. The principal purpose for which land or a building is being occupied. (Code 1956, as amended, 60.390) Therefore, occupancy is a consideration of continuous use and the Zoning Admin- istrator should require permit from the applicant shoiring clear evidence that i � Councilman Bob Fletcher...#2 January 4, 1984 � the non-conforming use was not vacated within the previous year. � � Enforcement of this provision is required to ascertain if re-establishing the non-conforming use would be inconsistent with the public good of the community, - or tbe reasonable use ancl enjoyment of adjacent property. if the Zoning ' � - -�qihistrator•s decision is allowed to stand, ott�r- vacate8 uses aiay be re- established without city review. One result of re-establishing vacated units without review is to permit additional units on already overcrowded sites. � ,� ! In the case of 497 Otis, there is little clear and convincing evidence that, I upon the effective date of the code, the structure was ever used as a multi-family istructure. To the contrary, six letters from neighborhood residents, and the '�, City Directory, attest to the use of the property as a single-family dwelling. ' Ms. Lane further advises that Section 62.102, Subd. 5(5) dces not apply because paragraph 8 specifies: �8) In any R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 District, an existing two-family residential use shall not be non-conforming as to the use of ' structure and land, and may be enlarged, extended, reconstructed or altered provided the minimum yard setback requirements of the district in which it is located are met and that the maximum percentage of the lot occupied by the main building does not _ � ' exceed that allowed. ' On the surface, one may assume that a two-family residential use is not non- conforming. However, this section is not applicable to 497 Otis as: . (1) Section 8 only applies if the residential use existed on October 24, 1975 (effective date of this provision) , (2) The Zoning Administrator had not found the structure to be a . duplex, but found the structure to be a non-conforming three-unit structure. Finally, l�s. Lane's memorandum cites the Sophia Leme�aawskg_ case as setting a precedent. The l�IcLaughlins and I have reviewed the definition of D�+elling, two-family: ' D�relling, tWO-fa�ily. � building designed exclusively for or ovcupied by no �ore than t�ro families living ', independently of each other. (60.204.D.) ` ' i� believe it does not apply to 497 Otis as the building Was designed exclusively for sinqle-fasily use and converted pursuant to permit. Rencvinq the second and third unit w�ould recapture its original design. Additionally, there ia no evidence that the d�+�elling was occupied by two families living independently of each other. Frankly, the Merriam Park Community Council is concerned that the Zoning Adminis- trator's lack of enforcement in this matter is inconsistent with the general intent of the zoning code, as follows: 60.101. Intent and Purpose. This code is adopted by the City of Saint Paul for the following purposes: ' (1) To promote and to protect the public health, safety, morals and general Welfare of the community. (2) Zb prouate the conservation of energy and the utilization of renewable energy resources; (3) To classify all property in such manner as to reflect its peculiar suitability for particular uses; . . i �� Cnuncilman Bob Fletchec...#3 January 4, 1983 (4i To regulate the location, construction, reconstruction, � � al.teration,. and use of buildings, structures, and land.

Furthermore, the code gives the Board of Zoning Appeals or, Gity Coeincil the power of administrative review. This pr�ovision gives the City Council the reasonability to assare that the code is enforced. The IKcI,aughlins vieW this undertaking as a public trust. Your villingness to investigate the entire matter is indeed commendable. While compelling arguments can be made on both sides nf this issue, ve trust your comprehensive revie�r of this matter will lead you to accept our recommendation to grant the appeal of Tohn McLaughlin.

During my frequent trips to St. Paul between 1973 and 1983, I would stay at Mrs . Grey' s house at 497 Otis Ave. , St. Paul. The small apartment which she had in the basement was a convience to me and the other members of the administration and faculty of New York University. In the last ten years, since Mrs. Grey' s health was quite frail, the usage of the facilities for visitors was of paramount importance. Without putting an extra strain on her health, I and my colleagues were able to discuss matters concerning the gallery and its development with Mrs. Grey in her home. I remain yours.

McCauley Doherty, Rumble & Butler Attorneys at Law 1500 First National Bank Building St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Dear Mr. McCauley: The calendars and records of events belonging to Abby Weed Grey and documenting her activities while a resident in St. Paul were removed after her death by me� and are currently stored at New York University` s Grey Fine Arts Library awaiting cataloguing in a permanently endowed archives. These archives will be organized during the summer of 1984 when time and funds are available to sort and accession this material. I understand that 1975 is a year of particular concern in establishing the multiple occupancy of Abby Grey' s residence at 497 Otis Avenue and of particular concern to the Council. I was not then the director of the Grey Art Gallery and Study Center until 1977 or acquainted with Mrs. Grey at that ti.me. However, through my staff and my predecessor, Kenneth Mathis , I am aware that there was major activity at this site in preparation for the removal of a large portion of the artworks in the Ben and Abby Grey Collection to NYU preceeding the opening of the Gallery in 1975. Several individuals connected with NYU visited Mrs. Grey at this time and used the facilities of these various apartments to organize this transfer, make the selection of works, inven- tory the works and to appraise the works. This was a prolonged process due to the nature of the gifts and the over 500 works of art involved. I enclose the accompanying catalogue to our inaugural exhibition to give you an idea of the nature and com- plexity of this undertaking. I hope this information is useful and should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to call me. y s , --� Robert R. Littman Director G/-� �y 3�� UNIVERSITY cEPC��rMeti' c: =_ccic�oav ST.PAUL,MINNESOTA 55104 .Ianuary 25 , 1984 Members of the St. �aul City Council City Hall St. Paul, Minnesota Dear Council Members: I am happy to comply with youX request documenting t,he specific dates that scholars, artists, and students resided at 497 Otis Avenue, the residence of the late Mrs. Abby Weed Grey. During her stay in this building, Abby Grey sponsored many scholaXs, artists, and cultural events at her home and utilized the upstairs or the basement apartment as the living quarters for these individuals or as the site of such cultural and educational events. For example, in .Tanuary 1982, Mrs. Grey sponsored a conference on the Middle East which was he�,d at Hamline University. As the coordinator of this con.ference, I negotiated honoraria, travel arrangements, and housing accommpdations �or the speakers. During these negotiations, I would always make clear that as part of their cor�pensation, speakers would be staying in Mrs. Grey's residence. I personally used to accompany these individuals to Mrs. Grey's home, acquainting them with the building's separate entrances so that they did not have to bother Mrs. Grey as they came and went. All of the speakers for this conference stayed at Mrs. Grey's home. They used to enter and leave the building through the separate entrance door at the right side of the building without actually going into Mrs. Grey's living quarters. Often I myself would go upstairs or to the basement apartment without waking Mrs. Grey. Scholars who participated in the January 1982 conference were: (1) Dr. Jerrold D. Green, Department of Political Science, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, �aeek of January 12, 1982; (2) Dr. Guity Nashat, Department of History, University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, Chicago, Illinois, week of January 19, 1982; (3) Dr. James A. Bill, Department of Political Science, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, week of January 26, 1982. All of these scholars resided either upstairs or in the basement apartment at Mrs. Grey's residence during their stay in the Twin Cities in January 1982. During January 1982 and Fall of 1982 I taught two separate classes on Middle Eastern Cultures. Both classes occasionally would be held in the upstairs gallery where Mrs. Grey would show her slides and deliver lectures to the students. MINNESOTA'S FIRST COLLEGE/FOUNDED 7 B54 � page 2 Other individuals who have stayed in one of Mrs. Grey's apartments are Parviz Tanovoli, an Iranian artist who was sponsored by Mrs. Grey several times, and during his stay in the �ain Cities would be staying . in one of the apartments. Specifically, in October 1982, Parviz stayed with Mrs. Grey during his visit to the United States. Another important factor to bear in mind is that these people were not the ordinary overnight occasional guests or relatives. In a sense they were paying renters who would compensate Mrs. Grey with their services. In other words, part of their salary for services rendered was their living accommodations during their stay in the Twin Cities in one of the apartments. These were out of state and/or out of country artists and scholars. There were also students who would be using one of the apartments to perform a specific function. For example, Mr. Farzan Navab-Safa, a former student at the Institute of Art and Design in Minneapolis, tells me he used the upstairs apartment while working on Mrs. Grey's slides and her autobiography. (This book has recently been published.) Mr. Navab- Safa worked with Mrs. Grey in Winter 19$2, and during Spring 1983. He organized several thousand slides, putting titles on them and writing brief descriptions. Mr. Navab-Safa lives in the �tain Cities at the present time. His address is 1116 Raleigh Street, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55108. The attached program would provide you with the details of the January 1982 conference. If I can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to write to me. Sincerely, 'I � .
