BOARO OF ZONING APPEALS DECISION: Approve with conditions (6-0) . ' STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve with conditions. SUPPORT: Three letters, one from the District Planning Council . OPPQSITION: None � Dear Sir: � On July 26, 1983, the Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing on the application of Stephen Markoe to consider a variance of _code provisions that limit garage structures to one story. Staff recorrrnended approval of a 2-story structure on the condition that no heating, plumbing or electrical systems be installed over the rafters (within the second story) except that one light opening be allowed to illuminate the storage area; and that stairs to the storage area be inside the accessory structure. The Board reviewed the correspondence on the matter and heard public • testimony. The applicant asked that the conditions regarding lighting the � second story and relocating the stairs not be required. There was discussion of the special conditions recorrdnended. The Board decided to not restrict the number of lights in the second story but to impose the other conditions �including requiring relocating the stairs. On August 24, 1983, Mr. Stephen Markoe filed an appeal of the Board's decision. Mr. Markoe bases his appeal upon the contention that the Board erred in their determination that the stairway would endanger public safety, or alter the aesthetics of the site. The St. Paul Legislative Code, Section 64.206(2) states in part: "In granting a variance, the city council or board of appeals may attach thereto such conditions regarding the location, character, and other features of the proposed uses as it deem reasonable in furtherance of the purpose of this code and to protect adjacent properties" . The City Council must determine if the Board of Zoning Appeals erred in imposing conditions .outlined in the resolution. �... .,:. . . s�'�4��*'`1,�1 - .. . �,� �.

PURPOSE: To consider a variance to permit construction of garage stairs and servi e door to utilize a second story for storage purposes. B. PARCEL SIZE: 40' frontage on Selby by 150' for 6,000 square feet of total lot area. SITE & AREA CONDITIONS: The site is occupied by a single family residential uil ing with a new y constructed detached 2-story garage. The surrounmding area is primarily single family dwellings interspersed by duplexes �•and multi-family residences. �� D. ZONING CODE CITATION: Section 62.106(3) states accessory buildings shall not excee one story or 14 feet in height, provided however, that such buildings used for the housing of passenger motor vehicles may exceed 14 feet in height but shall not exceed 18 feet in height. � E. FINDINGS: ' 1 . The applicant proposes to utilize present space above rafters of a garage structure for storage. 2. The request for variance is based on the physical conctition of the parcel , and the design and condition of existing development on the site. 3. Strict application of code provisions would result in undue hardship as distinguished from mere inconvenience by reason of the physical condition of the property. Applicant would not be able to utilize storage space above rafters without variance. � 4. The request for variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the community or intent of the code only if conditions are attached. One intent of the code is to maintain the use of the accessory structure as clearly � incidental to the principal structure. This intent is met if the use of the � second 1eve1 of the garage is limited to storage. � 5. The request for variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the neighbors ' supply of light and air, health, safety or property values only if conditions are attached. One purpose of the code is to maintain open space and the character of the immediate neighborhood. This purpose is met if the exterior stairway were relocated to the inside of the garage structure. 6. The request for variance does not appear to be based primarily on a desire � for economic gain. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on findings 2 through 6, staff recorrrnends that the variance be approve with the following conditions: 1 ) that no heating, plumbing or electrical systems be installed over the rafters of the accessory structure except that one light opening be allowed to illuminate the stor.age area; and 2) that stairs to the storage area be inside the accessory str`u.�ture. . �9��t°�''��1 ' � .. .. �X 'A city of saint paui board of zoning appeals resolution . zoning f ile numb�r 9415 , date August 9, 1983 WHEREAS, Stephen A.

ABSENT: Mme. Morton. The meeting was chaired by Sam Grais, Vice-Chairman. STEPHEN A. MARKOE (#9415) : Variance request to permit construction of garage sta�rs an service door to utilize a second story for storage purposes at 1937 Selby Avenue. The applicant was present. There was no opposition present at the hearing. Mr. Haider showed slides of the site and reviewed the staff report �with a •, recomnendation for approval on the condition that no heating, plumbing or electrical systems be installed over the rafters of the accessory ' structure except that one light opening be allowed to illuminate the storage area; and that stairs to the storage area be inside the accessory structure. Three letters were received in support, one was from Merriam . Park Community Council . Stephen Markoe, 1937 Selby, explained that he was involved with the Boy � Scouts and one of the functions of this space is going to be storage of their equipment. If the stairway is located inside as recomnended by staff, they will have to alter the truss structure cutting through at least one of the trusses to install the stairway. They will ;�ose a car storage area within the lower part of the building and at least 30 to 40 sq. ft. in the upper part of the building. They would have to install inside the upper portion some kind of safety railing to comply with safety requirments which would make it difficult to move canoes up and down the stairway into the storage area. The interior stairway would also present a natural fire access if there were a fire in the lower garage portion. He stated that he would like to have more than one electrical opening in the storage area and .' that he had no intention of putting in a housing unit. Dennis Grogan, owner of Grogan Construction, reported that the garage is 6'7" from the east property line. They are proposing to put on a 3' wide .�stairway_reducing the side yard setback to 3'7" from the Applicant's board-on-board p�rivacy fence. The original drawing showed a 4' side yard setback with the stairway located on the west end of the building. Because of the fact that the side yard setback to his westerly neighbor's fence is still wide enough that he could access the back yard with a motor vehicle, they decided not to close off that vehicle access so they moved the garage further to the west in order to facilitate putting the stairway on the easterly end of the building and still have a 3'7" setback to the property line. - ,�, .�• �� . .. _ � , f , Stephen A.

The Merriam Park Community Council 's Housing Committee has reviet•aed the variance request of Mr. Markoe, 1937 Selby Avenue, to allow a � two story garage. The Housi�ng Committee voted to support the variance, as it would allow the present garage space to be converted into a walk-up storage attic. Committee members viewed the project as a desirabte use which would add to the value of the property. Best re ards, ", �� /'� / � �-� �� Mol 1�'Rourke Comml�nity Organizer � MO/em CC: Mr. S.A.
