4-84-H 928 Grand Avenue . M. Philip Snyder
APPEARANCE: M. Philip Snyder, O��ner
SUBJECT: Requested a variance of St. Paul Legislative Code regarding
insufficient natural light in Apartment No. 3, as the installation of
expensive new crank out windows to meet code has resulted in minor
loss of illumination.
PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Snyder explained he is seeking a variance on windows
which he had recently installed to meet code (crank-out type) . . As a
result of installing this type of window he has lost minor illumination
in one window in the apartment.
Alice Bijjani felt there is no real objection to granting the variance,
but pointed out there are many apartments on Grand Avenue with this
particular type of window and the board could have more requests of
this kind.
BOARD ACTION: Rudy Sawyer moved t� grant a vari�nce_of St'. Paul Legis-
� lative Code;•' Se�c. 34::14 , pertaini�g to .natural l�igh�-, t•o -allow co.n-
;� tinued: use. of Apt:' .#3��s�vith present window �space. Lucille Collins

3-84-H 750 Blair Avenue Douglas King
APPEARANCE: Douglas King
SUBJECT: � Request that he be allowed to give the first floor tenant
a key only to the front door and not the rear door for security
reasons only. .
PROCEEDINGS: Mr. King said he is requesting permission to allow only
a front door key to the tenant as the rear door exits into the stair-
well and then outside. If tenant has a key to tYie rear door exiting
into the stairwell, then tenant should also have a key to the outside
door. This would give the person access to all three floors and the
enclosed stairwells and apartments. First floor tenant' has full access
to exit the kitchen door at any emergency time but he would like to
, restrict their entry into the rear door for security reasons.
Alice Bijjani suggested installing a deadbolt lock which can be �opened
by a turn key on the inside but not with a key from the outside. The
requirement for a key from the outside is not as important as the turn
� key trom the inside, she felt. Code does require a key, but feels a
variance could be granted without much problem.
BOARD ACTION: Harold Knutson moved that a variance be granted to -
allow lock that :is not openable from the" outside with a key but that
meet� deaci3�olt standards in�=every o�her way�:: Glenn Gausnan secorided.

5-84-H 892 Marshall Avenue Clarence A. Lindeke
APPEARAYICE: Clarence A. Lindeke
SUBJECT: Request a variance of code, Section 34 .12, pertaining to
electrical service and variance of Section 34 .13 pertaining to access �
from one sleeping room to another.
PROCEEDINGS: Alice Bijjani explained the electrical service is 30 Amp.
230 volts which is completely inadequate for 4 dwelling units or 3
dwelling units. It does not meet the St. Paul Code and presents a
�� potential� if �not in�mediate hazard, to the occupants.
Harold Knutson, electrical contractor on the board, stated 30 amp.
service is not enough for three apartments -- it causes double fusing
which could be a dangerous condition which deteriorates the wiring
and could cause fire.
Mr. Lindeke stated they have had no electrical problems and new wiring
would cost about $3,000 causing a financial hardship.
Ron Glassman explained to Mr. Lindeke that although he has corrected
most of the items in the violation report, this is a safety item and
� a fire could happen endangering the tenants.
t
BOARD ACTION: Glen Gausman moved that the variance be denied and
the electrical work be done, but granted a 30 day extension of time
from the February 17 , 1984 date to complete the work. Harold Knutson
seconded the motion.
THE VOTE: Ayes 5 Nays 0 Abstentions -
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS: Chairman Glassman opened discussion on the
sleeping room access item. Alice Bijjani felt the situation could
be resolved quite easily on the two third floor sleeping rooms simply
by putting a wall with a door in the L shaped area.
Mr. Lindeke felt this would shorten the room and make it less aesthetic
in design. He has had the building for thirty years and'�there has been
' no p.roblem with the tenants..- �
� Alice .Bijjani e�plained there . is no grandfather clause in the �
_ _ _ �housing code and the bedroom access was cited iri the original report
in� 1981 and he was granted extra time to do it_ It is practical to
� � correct this and it is feasible, Alice felt. :
Mr. Lindeke explained it would cut off light and having two doors in
the "alcove" would be hazardous. It would also make the bedrooms
snaller
� Mr. Sawyer was excused from the rest of the meeting at this time.
BOARD ACTION: Glen Gausman, on the basis that putting in a partition
would make sleeping room #1 difficult to arrange because of its size
and shape, �d to gr-an� t�e var•ianae a� b�droom access in the tw�►
thi�d floor h�irooms. Luci:lle Collins seconded the motion.

6-84-H 734/36 Stewart Clarence A. Lindeke
APPEAR.ANCE: Clarence Lindeke ,
SUBJECT: Requested a variance of code, Section 34 .I3 , pertaining to
sleeping room access, because of unfeasibility and cost.
Requested variance of code, Section 34 .13 pertaining to floor space
for sleeping room and insufficient natural light.
PROCEEDINGS: Mr Lindeke explained that his tenant has a retarded
daughter (about 30 yrs. old) who has a cot in the room off the
livingroom. He does not rent it as a bedroom as such, but if the
tenant chooses to use it, he feels he cannot control this. Mr.
Lindeke further stated there is an 8 ' archway between the two rooms
� with two large windows in the living room to give sufficient light.
Alice Bijjani stated if the apartment is basically rented to two
people, there would be no problem with the variance.
BOARD ACTION: Ron Glassman moved to grant the variance of alcove floor
� space gd�be ,used for sleeping roo� �on condition occupancy be limited to 3
+ people. . Glen Gausman seconded the motion.
� THE VOTE: Ayes 4 Nays 0 Abstentions 0
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Lindeke stated the upstairs apartment has
a sleeping room that accesses into another bedroom.
Alice reiterated that you must have a reason for granting a variance
other than just disagreeing with the code.
