Dresser and others to a decision of the 6oard of Zoninc� Appeals granting lot area and side yard setback variances to Castle Design and Development Company, Inc. to construct a four-plex on property located on the north side of Front between Arundel and Western. The property is zoned RP1-2, multiple family. On September 22, 1981 , the Board of Zoning Appeals conducted a public hearing on the variance request. One letter was received in opposition. Testimony was heard from one neighbor in opposition. The Board voted 7 to 0 to grant the variances based on find�ngs that (1 ) strict applicatTOn of the Ordinance wquld result in hardship given the area and narrowness of the property; (2� the variance would not impair the intent and purpose of the Ordinance; (.3) the variance would not substantiall�� impair the neighbors ' supply of liaht and air, health, safetv, or property values; and (4j the request for variance was not based primarily on a desire for economic �ain. This appeal is scheduled for a public hearinq before the City Coumcil on January 7, 1982.

STAFF INVESTIGATION & RE�PORT: DATE 9�14�8� gY Susan Von Mosch A. PURPOSE: Variance of the minimum lot size and the required side yard setback to allow construction of a 4-unit building. B. PARCEL SIZE: 65' frontage on Front x 116' = 8,190 square feet. C. SITE & AREA CONDITIONS: Surrounding land uses include single-family houses and duplexes; two medium dens�ty apartment buildings are located down Front to the west; the St. Paul Auto Body Shop is located across Front. Irr�nediately east of the site is an RT-1 zoning district, single-family houses and duplexes; immediately to the north is an R-4 zoning � • district, single-family houses; to the west and south is an I-l .industrial district. D. ORDINANCE CITATION: Section 61 .101 requires a minimum lot area of 10,000 sq. ft. for construction of a 4-unit dwelling in an RM-2 district; the applicant proposes a minimum� lot size of 8,190 square feet. Section 61 .101 also requires 15' side yard setbacks; the applicant proposes 7.5' setback for both the east and the west side yard. E. FINDINGS: 1 . The variances are based on the area and the narrowness of the lot. Existing development on the east and west sides of the lot prevent an increase in area or frontage of the site. 2. Without varian�ces the appi-icant would incur exceptional undue hardship in constructing a multi-family structure on the site given its area and narrowness. The structure could not be constructed without variance of the minimum lot size. The applicant could construct a structure on the lot without the side yard variance; however, the resulting design would not be desirable because it would necessitate restricting the amount of yard and open space in the rear yard. 3. The variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the corrnnunity or to the intent of the Ordinance. The site is an infill lot zoned RM-2; development of a multi-family structure is appropriate for the site. The building is not oversized for the lot; overcrowding would not occur. 4. The variances can be granted without substantial detriment to the neiQhbors ' supply of light, air or property values. The adjacent residential structure to the west is set back approximately 8-10' ; adjacent residential structures to the east have frontage on Western, the rear yard setback provide open space. Overcrowding would not occur. 5. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire for economic gain. F. STAFF REC0��1MEt�DATION: Based on findings 1 through 5, staff recommends approval of the variances . - � : � � � ` � ! � `7 �/� J . � -. .... ; ��.:� ; , � �,.,�� APPLICATION FOR ZONING ORDINANCE U�4RIANCE� `�. � �� CITY OF SAINT PAUL � �, ��ARI,ANCE OF ZONING CODE CHAPTER �� SECTION>'-�� PARAGRAPH ' ' �" /v � �- 1 EEQUESTED IN CONFORMITY WITH THE POWERS VESTEO IN TH BOARD OF ZON NG AP- ; EP�LS TO PERMIT THE �; r��_�:� i��-i 'r 1 !"T� �t- f'j�P �' ON PROPERTY .... .

STARR, CITY ATTORNEY ,.,. 647 City Hall, Saint Paul,Minnesota 55102 612-298-5121 GEORGE LATIMER MAYOR / December 1, 1981 �� /� � � Mr. Albert B. Olson City Clerk Room� 386 CITY HALL Re: Zoning File No. 8996 Board of Zoning Appeals Variance for Castle Design and Development Company. Dear Mr. Olson: You have advised us that the City Council has requested that our office investigate and report back to it concerning the question of whether the appeal in the above matter was filed in a timely fashion, pursuant to 5ection 64 .205 of the Zoning Code. Section 64 .205 contains the procedure by which an appeal may be made from a decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals to the City Council. This section provides that "such appeal shall be taken within 30 days after the decision appealed from shall have been served either in person or by mail upon the appellant and/or the owner of the property which is the subject of the appeal, by filing with the City Clerk notice of the appeal***. " By letter dated November 18, 1981, addressed to the City Clerk, Susan Von Mosch of the City' s Division of Planning states that the Board of Zoning Appeals resolution was adopted on October 13, 1981, and that the petition appealing from this decision was filed in the off ice of City Clerk on November 13, 1981. Ms. Von Mosch' s letter further states that the deadline for fa.ling the appeal was November 12, 1981, and this is based upon an assumption that the Zoning Board resolution was mailed on October 13th, which is the same date on which the Zoning Board adopted the resolution. I have contacted Ms. Von Mosch to ascertain what date the Zoning Board resolution was actually mailed, and am inforzned that the Zoning office has no record of the date of mailing that decision. �4°-i�Y (\ ��'�\5J � . � � � . a � �!�� Albert B. Olson Page 2 December 1, 1981 Because there is no record of a date of maila,ng,. there is no basis upon which to assume that the decision was mailed on the same date that the resolution was passed and therefore it is my opinion that the City Council should schedule the hearing on the appeal, assum- ing that the appeal was filed in a timely manner. Tf the owner of the property to which the variance was granted can establish through competent evidence that the notice was mailed more than thirty days prior ta the date of filing of the appeal, then; the City Council could determine that it does not have jurisdiction to hear the matter, but failing any such evidence it would be competent for the City Gouncil to proceed with the hearing on th�.s appeal.
