STAFF INVESTIGATION & REPORT: DATE 8/27/82 BY Wayne Th pson ============-============-===========================-====--==---===-===-===-===-" ==-====== � A. PURPOSE: Macalester College, the High Winds Fund, and the Tangletown Neighbpr od Association have developed a plan for the redevelopment of several parcels of l nd owned by Macalester. This 40-acre study involves the conversion of seven parcels of and to uses which will better serve the needs of the college and the neighborhood. B. BACKGROUND: � � � 1 . � The State Municipal Planning Statute Section 462.357(5) allows cities of t � first , class, which includes St. Paul , to initiate a survey, conducted through th ir Planning Commission, of the whole city or of an area not less than 40 acre for the purpose of recommending that the City Council rezone portions of the city. 2. A 40-acre study is recommended when the number of property owner signature required for a rezoning consent petition is excessively high and therefore impracti al to obtain. In this case, a consent petition would have required over 63 prop rty owner signatures of the 94 eligible properties adjoining Macalester College owne property. 3. The Macalester College 40-Acre Study Area II comprises 48 acres of land wi hin an area bounded on the east by Snelling Avenue, encompassing the southeast co ner of Summit and Snelling; on the south by St. Clair Avenue; on the north by Sum it Avenue; and on the west by Macalester Street, Cambridge Street, Princeton Avenue, nd Uernon Street (see map). ; 4. The Macalester College 40-Acre Study Area II was initiated by the request o Macalester College. It was passed by Resolution number 82-33 on July 23, 1 82 by the St. Paul Planning Commission for the purpose of considering amendmen s to Chapters 60 through 64 of the St. Paul Legislative Code. i ; 5. Legal notice of the public hearing scheduled before the Planning Corr�nission September 10, 1982, was published on August 20, August 27, and September 3, 1982 pursuant to state statutes. 6. Most of the Macalester College owned property in the 40-Acre Study Area II s presently zoned R-3. The exceptions to this zoning include three areas rez ned to RT-1 by the first Macalester College 40-Acre Study, and the southeast co ner of Summit-Snelling, currently zoned RT-1 . - � i � C. PROPOSAL: 1 . Macalester College proposes the rezoning to RT-1 and the issuance of Specia� Condition Use Permits for four parcels located on the Vernon-Princeton-�1aca ester- St. Clair block. These parcels , currently used as "language houses ," will • � continue to be student housing operated by the College. In addition, a vac�nt �ot between two of these houses will be used for parking. 2. Macalester College proposes the rezonin; to RT-2 of tv�o parceis located on �he southeast corner of Sumnit and Snelling Avenues. These two parcels , curren ly used as student housing, will be converted to 5 condominium units and sold o the public. � D. FINDINGS: l . The rezoning of the 5 parcels to be converted to student housing is consist nt with the development plans of the College as reflected in the first Macales er College 40-Acre Study, and the District 14 Housing Plan. In addition, the - �'�9 55 � Macalester College 40--Acre Study �II Page 2 D. FINDINGS CONT'D. � . , i proposed conversions all lie within 228 feet of the campus and student park'ng will be available both on and off the site. A total of 28 students will be � housed in the four houses located on the five lots. These proposed convers'ons comply with the RT-1 zoning designation as described under Section 60.423(2) Special Condition Uses. � � 2. The rezoning from RT-1 to RT-2 to allow the conversion to condominiums of � � student housing further diversifies the residential character of the area. ' This conversion is in line with the District 14 Housing Plan which supports a variety of housing types within the district (apartments , condominiums, co-operatives) while retaining the single family character and residential ) quality of the district. ' � 3. It is the opinion of the City Attorney's Office that restrictions on the us of property created by eminent domain within the Summit Avenue Restricted Residence District are not� enforceable for failure to file notice of the i � continuation of the District within forty years as required under the • � Marketable Title Act. However, the unique architectural character of Summit Avenue is protected by the City's power of zoning and heritage preservatio . The proposed conversions for 1568 and 1576 Summit Avenue are consistent wi the City's guidelines for maintaining Surrnnit Avenue as a Victorian residen ial boulevard. . � 4. The number of parking spaces required for five condominium units on the 15 -1576 � Summit Avenue site is 7.5. The site plan submitted by Winsor/Faricy Archi cts . calls for the construction of 10 garage spaces and 3 spaces for guest parking. ; E. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Based upon the above findings, staff recommends the I following changes to the .St. Paul Zoning Code: i 1 . Rezone from R-3 to RT-1 : � , 205 Macalester Lot 5, Block 8 of Macalester Park, except the So�th 45' . Vacant lot South z of Lot 4, Block 8, Macalester Park. ; 195 Macalester North 2 of Lot 4, Block 8, Macalester Park. j I 196 Vernon Lot 13, except the South 42' thereof, Block 8, j Macalester Park. � 188-190 Vernon Lot 14, Block 8, Macaletster Park. I � 2. Rezone from RT-1 to RT-2: ! 1568 Summit Westerly 2 of Lot 7 and all of Lot 10, and the e sterly 11 feet of Lot 11 , Block 2, Summit View. 1576 Summit Lot 12 and all of Lot 11 except the easterly 11 �eet thereof, Block 2, Summit View. � 3. Upon adoption of the changes to the St. Paul Zoning Code as described abov�, Macalester College will be required to apply for 4 Special Condition Use P rmits for 205, 195 Macalester; and 196, 188-190 Vernon. ; I � i � � i I � ' i i � I�U�LHLtJItK LULLCUC 4U�HLKt JIUUT 11 �$yLI�J . , rage 3 ��. 4o QCRE sTUpY- �ou�D�►Ry �� .

We l`�i"�'J'`"f' ' ' are requesting this change so we may ask for a "special condition � use permit" to operate these buildin s_as__'!lanquage houses". A ' - language house is o'ccupie by students who are�ell learning �the same ianguage. They speak this language as part of the daily activities ; in the house. The houses do not contain classrooms or offices. ' �� ;. ��= As you probably have noticed, we have begun an extensive rehab- � ilitation ro ect to make 196 Vernon habitable. 188-190 Vernon ,.� ; . r ,J , P � ; �� hos been a language house for some tirr�e, 205 Macalester is currently -- used as a base for Black Cultural activities on campus but if this i �, plan goes through it will be occupied by students of Spanish; � � 195 Macalester has been occupied by various tenants in the past, ��' but would become. the fourth language house under this plan. � ue believe the use of these buildings by tha language p rograms I wiil enhance the neighborhood because we will be able to invest more in their maintenance as is evidenced by the rebuilding of 196 Vernon. If you have any questions about this request please call David Lanegran, Executive Director of the High Winds Fund at 696-6504.

Filli:�g one and �wo fa�r�ily houses ' wi±h student renters is definitely nct the way to enhance the j neighborhood. T�iac put us znrough that routine once before.

Filled them with student ren�ers. For a few years we � had 2 hour-a-day bedlam, and the properties so used rapidly de�erior - - ted. Things are better now but we st�ll do r.ot trust.
