BOARD OF ZONIPJG APPEALS DECISION: Approve (6-1 ) STfiFF RECOMP1EP�DATION: Approve SUPPORT: 6 Letters ; 2 people testified OPPOSITION : 5 Letters ; 12 people testified Dear Si r: On July 27 , 1982 , the Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing on the application of Griswold & Rauma Architects , Inc. , to consider a variance of the maximum height of buildings in a R-2 zoning district to permit construction of a 5-story seminary residence on the campus of the College of St. Thomas. Th2 staff recommendation was for approval . The Board reviewed the correspondence on the matter (six letters in support and five letters in opposition) and heard public tes�imony. (Two people testified in support and twelve people testified in opposition. ) The appl �cant based the variance request on three factors : 1 ) the proposed buildin� height is similar with� other campus buildings ; 2; the added height v,�ill conserve land for parking and open space; and 3) the proposed building would be set back 922' from the property line rather than the 50' required by code. This additional yard space was provided so as to allow adequate light and air to neighboring properties . The applicant also contends that this building will free-up use of other facilities (Brady Hall ) and reduce the acute college housing shortage and related pressure for on-street parking. Opposition to the variance was based primarily on concern that the construction would: 1 ) lessen visual and noise buffering; 2) interfere with views , light, air, and television reception; and 3) reduce pedestrian and vehicular safety on the adjacent street and at the parking lot entrance. The neighbors also contend that a more suitable location could be found elsewhere on campus. � , . Albert Olson - 2 - September 10, 1982 �Zoning staff expressed concern about the density of the development as well as its effect on the surrounding neighborhood if the land area given to this development remained as proposed. Staff recommended approval of the height variance on the condition that 6,600 square feet of land would be added to the parcel to preserve open space for the benefit of the building's residence and the neighborhood. The intent of this condition is to prevent overly- dense development of this portion of the campus. At the close of the public hearing, the Board of Zoning Appeals voted 6 to 1 to approve the variance and passed the resolution to expedite the matter. On August 26, 1982, Mr. Robert Nechal , representing St. Thomas neighbors, filed an appeal of the Board's decision. Mr. Nechal bases his appeal on 5 alleged errors in fact and procedure outlined in his letter of appeal (see attachment). This matter is scheduled to be heard by the City Council on September 23, 1982. Please notify me by September 22 if any member of the City Council wishes to have slides of the site presented at the City Council public hearing. Sincerely, , � , � �' � Fred S.

Tedesco President � St . Paul City Council c/o Planning llivisio❑ (Zoning Section) llth Floor City Hall Annex St . Paul , Minnesota 55102 RE : Appeal of Zoning Board resolution concerning St . John Vianney Seminary ' s requested heigbt variance for a 5-story dormitory . Ref. zoning file #9200 Resolution dated July 27, 1982 Dear h4r . Tedesco : This letter is a notice that our organization , St . Thomas Neighbors , requests an evening bearing with the St . Paul City Council to provide statements and testimony as to a�h�� the height variance should be denied . This appeal is being submitted in accordance u�ith the provisions of 64. 205 ( and any revisions ) . Ile have enclosed the 575. 00 fee required to file our appeal . Our appeal for denial of the variance is based on both factual and administrati��e errors. Your attention is called to significant factual errors present in the report presented b�� the Loning Board staff at the hearing . Tbe following facts contradict the assertion tbat the present physical pattern a°ould be preserved if this variance were granted : 9. In examining the present physical layout adjacent to tbe proposed site, it can be seen that a 3-story building would not be an anomaly ; Irish American 12 ' (one story ) Catbolic Digest 35 ' (3 stories ) Dowling Hall 40 ' (4 stories) Ireland Hall 50 ' (4 stories) B. The presentation of� data regarding the densit� issue was also factuallv incorrect . The proposed dormitory would be 5 stories in height . I�one of the nearby buildings contains as many stories. The proposed building represents an increase in density , rather tban preservation of the existing historical character . . , � � � . . h;r . Victor J . Tedesco August 26, 1982 Page 2 C. The chart presented at the hearing was inaccurate and incomplete. John Paul II dormitory was omitted com- pletely and Brady Hall was diminished in size, giving the impression that the campus is less crowded than it actually is. D. The slide presentation , rather than revealing the single- family homes directly across from the site, sbowed only a corner apartment building , which may have led the Zoning Board to believe that our neighborhood is composed entirely of tall apartment buildings and dormitories. Vie a•ish also to bring to your attention an administrative error in tbe July 27 hearing : Appeal procedures a�ere short-circuited by elimination of the 15-day waiting period normally practiced before denying or granting a variance . 4�e believe that tbis change in established policy was unwarranted , considering the magnitude of this decision and tbe prior request from the neigbbors that tbe waiting period be observed as usual .

Application for Zoning Variance, City of St. Paul The following statements attached to the Application respond to Section C , Item 4 a and b , of the Application form. a) The existing campus buildings of the College of St. Thomas which are nearest to and adjacent to the proposed building all exceed the R-2 Zonfng District height limitations of 3 stories and 30 ft. , they are tisted as follows : Height Height Building Direction Stories Feet Ireland Nall Southeast 4� 50 ft. Downing Hall South 4 35 ft. Catholic Digest Southeast 3z 35 ft. (plus hip room) John Paul Hall East/Southeast 5 �+5 ft. The proposed building height is �ive stories and 45 ft. 2 in. to the roof of the principal mass of the building. Strict application of the code would place pecul�iar and im- practical limitations on the proposed building which is de- signed to conform generally with existing campus height and density patterns and to retain land for campus open space, parking and recreational uses . b) The granting of a variance will not be a suestantial detriment to the public good or a substantiat ir,�pairment of the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance because the proposed height is in conformance with established height and density patterns of the College of St. Thomas . The proposed bui_lding is set back 92 ft. 6 in. from the north property line along Selby Avenue. This set back is to a chapel element which is a single story structure with a maximum height of 24 ft . The main portion of the building which is five stories , 45 ft. 2 in. in height , is set back 150 ft. 6 in from the Setby Avenue propery line. , , - q�� i �; �.;, �, a f r� � �� ''; ; ` � � •�` � �`�; �-; : � — �� :_ '�- . . , __. , �t�•,p � 6R�SwOLO t+.a JO�-+N .= RL�,;'.�:.

St. John Vianney Seminary :y ., PROJECT . Proposed New Residence • r SUBJECT . Site Plan Review At the request of Donna Dakin of the St. Paul Zoning Office, � we are providing the following additional information related to xhe Application for Site Plan Review for St. John Vianney 5eminary, f� led on Monday; June 223, 19$2. The administrative staff for the seminary is comprised of the , rector, secretary and bookkeeper, who live off campus . The faculty consists of four priests who have counseling and program responsibilities. . They will live in the proposed seminary residence. A fifth counselor is a nun who lives off campus . Four guest rooms are provided for visiting priests who will have adjunct responsibility in the seminary p rog ram. . The four resident priests and four visitors are accounted in the calculation of parking spaces required in relation to bed count. (43 spaces for a total resident population of 128) . The seminary program which has been located in Brady liall for ten years will be r�oved into the proposed new building without any increase in the administrative or counselor staff. The propo�ed site plan, does not include additional parking spaces allocable to non resident staff because such staff will remain unchanged as to number. By vacating Brady Hall the seminarv wilt release S�ace whi�.h c:an be occupied by approximately 200 new on campus student residents . This should have the affect of reducing housing pressure from the neighborhood and related pressure for on street parking. JOHN G. RAUMA lkn � cc: � . Paul Zoning Office � Donna Dakin Msgr.

The question regarding preservation of the existing trees and our affirmative response are encircled by red line. We believe that the project site has exceptional physical characteristics which should be recognized. It is contiguousf with the campus of the College of St . Thomas where the historic pattern of development is established and characterized by buitdings which are taller than the Zoning Code provides and by yard spaces which are proportionately scaled to the buildings . The objective of the proposed site plan is to maintain consistancy with the established historical pattern , and with the established building heights contiguous to the site.

PkESENT ZONING: R-2 ZONING CODE REFEREP�CE: Section 61 .101 6. STAFF INVESTIGATIUN b REPORT: DATE ��12�82 BY Fred S. Haider ----------------------- A. PURPOSE: To consider a 15' height variance to permit construction of a seminary resid ne ce. Code limits buildings in a R-2 zoning district to 3 stories and 30 feet. The applicant proposes 5 stories and approximately 45 feet. B. PARCEL SIZE : 86,786 square feet of total area (1 .99 acres) . C. SITE � SURROUNDING CONDITIONS : This parcel is vacant and within the Campus of the Coilege of St. Thomas. The land use of the immediate surrounding area is residential . The St. Paul Seminary is located southwest of the St. Thomas Campus and the Town and Country Club is located 2 blocks northwest. Currently the site is used for recreation. � ZONING COD� CITATION: Section 61 . 101 , Schedule of Regulations , limits building height to 30' �3 stories in R-2 zoning districts. The applicant proposes to construct a 5-story building (45' above grade) . �. �IP�DINGS : � 1 . The applicant proposes to construct a seminary residence with a -�uilding height •f 45' 2" to the roof of the principal mass of the building. 2. The variance request appears to be based on the exceptional physical condition ^ of tne property and existing development on site. Existing physical patterns or development create a historic ambience of taller buildings . A 3-story building would be an anomaly with the now established historic character of the campus site. 3. St�,ict application of the Code regulation would result in exceptional undue hardship and exceptional practical difficulties as distinguished from mere inconvenience by reason of the existing physical condition of the property. The applicant could not construct a building that sustains the existing campus pattern without variance. �� 4. The request for variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the community or to the intent of the Code only if conditions are attached. The proposed height is in conformance with established height and density patterns of the College of St. Thomas and the proposed setback will mitigate the buildings impact on the surroundinc� community. One intent of the Code is to provide an adequate am�nt of open space for the benef� - of occupants of the buildin�. The intent of the Code would be met if the parcel given to the 5-story seminary residence included an area equivalent to a parcel � required for a 3-story residence of equal population. In this case, the intent of the Code would be met if 6,600 square feet of additional land area �vere attached to the proposed parcel . 5. The request for variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the � neighbors ' supply of light and air, health , safety, or property yalues . The building is set back 92' 6" from the north property line along Selby kvenue (50' is required) . The main portion of the building, which is five stories , is set back 150' 6" from Selby Avenue proper�y line. The building is set back so as to not impair light and air or diminish the neighbors ' reasonac?e enioyment of their property. .� - 11 - . GRISWOLD & RAUMA ARCHITECTS, INC. (�9200) Page 2 E. FINDINGS CONT' D. 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire for economic gain. F. STAFF ANALYSIS: A major tenant of zoning is to a�ply equal standards to equal property within a zoning district. The established height patterns of development within the campus suggests that the requested height variance is reasonable if overcrowding of land and structures do not result. In this case, increasing the area of the parcel to that otherwise required of a 3-story building, with equal population, would meet the intent of the Code and mitigate against overcrowding. G. STAFF RECOMMENDATION : Based on findings 2 through 6, staff recommends approval of the variance on the condition that 6,600 square feet of property be adjoined to this development parcel . - 12 - . - - - - - v �,, i I 24 7 + , , ► 00�00000�00 O� �O 00�0 00 � � ~� . ► � i , �-- � � .F i , - I ► � � � - � - � � � � �-- �I - - , I I _� � � �"� C� ;00000 ¢ 000000 ¢ OOi000000000000 � � � C ' AVE .

The variance request is based on the exceptional physical condition of the property and existing development on site. This site is within the campus of the Colleye of St. Thon�as where the historic pattern of development is establisf�ed and characterized by buildings which are taller than the Zoning Code presently allows. 2. St�°ict application of the Code regulations would result in exceptional undue hardsl�ip and exceptional practical difficulties as distinguished from mere inconvenience by reason of the existing physical condition of the property. The �pplicant could not construct a building that sustains the existing campus pa�ter�n without variance. 3. The reyur-st `cr variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the com,uunit�� or to the intent of the Code only if conditions are attached. Une inte�,f� of the Code is to provide an adequate amount of open space for the benE�fit ��f occupants of the building. The intent of the Code is met if the area �le� icatcd to the se��inary residence was equivalent in total area of a pdr-cFl rc�yuired for a 3-story .residence of equal population. In this case, th� i ��ter�t of the Code is �uet when 6,600 square feet of additional land area is ��tt��i��-d to tl,e propost�d parcel . 4.

After much discussion the Ad Hoc Committee voted to oppose the present location of the dorm/chapel as neighboring properties will be unreasonably affected. The strong opposition to the location stems from the lack of adequate sound and site barriers� preservation of views, light and air, safety of both vehicles ,and pedestrian traffic on area streets and at the entrance/exit to the parking area. The coaununity believes the proposed building could be located elsewhere on the major Seminary or college campus thus reducing the violations of health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of neighboring residents. The St. Thomas Ad Hoc Committee requests that the City of St. Paul Planning Staff recommend denial of the height variance and the present site plan. Representatives of 5t. John Vianney Seminary acicnowiedged tney wouia continue to seek the variance and site plan approval even with the neighborhood's strong opposition. In lieu of this fact, our Committee feels it necessary to comment on the current site plan design so that our opportunity to voice concerns are not forever lost. Therefore, if the current location is approved we believe the following are necessary changes to the site plan submitted: 1) the trees hiding the parking lot fronting Selby Avenue should include evergreens to provide winter screens. 2) the height of the Berm be increased to 5 or 5�5 feet so that visual screen is eye level. 3) the current speed bump in the entrance/exit across from Finn be improved so that traffic will move slowly into the neighborhood. . � - 25 - � , t�:s.

After nuch discussion the Ad Hoc Committee voted to oppose the granting of the �,eight variance for the dorm/chapel as neighboring properties will be unreason- ably affected. The strong opposition to the location stems from the lack of adequate sound and site barriers, preservation of views, safety of both vehicles and oedestrian traffic on area streets and at the entrance;exit to the parking area, and potential reduction in property values. The Committee believes the proposed building could be located elsewhere on the najor seninary or college caT�pus, thus reducing the violations of health, safety, confort, and welfare of neiahboring residents. The St. Thomas Ad Hoc Committee believes the request for the height variance should be denied as St. John Vianney had the choice of selecting three other site locations on the college campus, and many potential locations on the St. Paul Seminary grounds. Thus, they do not qualify for the height variance due to any exceptional physical conditions o�f the property. The Committee realizes a precedent was set by the granting of a height variance for the John Paul II dormitory; however , the:e have been many problems resulting from that dorm that are aggravated by its height. For example, stereos are often heard blaring from morning until late evening . The noise can be heard three and four blocks away from John Paul II, presumably due to the lack of tall trees for screening. � Com,T�ittee nenbers fear the above type of problem, and others, will occur at the p:oposed St. John Vianney Se,��inary since Tuch of the upper floors of the building will be devoted to dorms. The� screening provided in the site plan will not provide an adequate sound barrier from the upper floors. _ Representatives of St. John Vianney Se�^inary scknowledged they would continue to . seek the variance and site plan approval, even with the neighborhood's strong - 27 - I � 1 Ms. Gladis N.orton, Chair July 27, 1982 Board of Zoning Appeals St. Paul, M�. . . . . .$2 opposition. In lieu of this fact, our Co�nmittee felt it necessary to co�.�ent on the current site plan design so that our opportunity to voice concerns are not forever lost. For your infornation, below is a list of recom�ended changes if the current location is approved, which were sent to Ns.

The additional height and resulting diminishing of the building footpzint will permit both rr�ore open space to surround the building and greater compatibility with other structures on the Saint Thomas campus . I believe, therefore, that the variance has merit. It is a fact that there are issues, some with quite a history, existing between the College of Saint Thomas and the surrour�ding neighborhood. These issues must be the topic of continuing dialogue ir negotiations between the college and neighborhood representatives, who have a legitimate concern about their co�nunity absorbing the growth over the years of the student population as Saint Thomas continues its successful pursuit of a diverse and invigorated curriculum. This project will not exacerbate problems associated with that growth, but rather will shif t students from off-campus housing back to the campus . To the degree that help from my office, or my own assistance, can improve the dialogue and speed negotiations between neighborhood representatives and the college, that resource is available. The new West Grand Avenue citizens group offers a fresh channel of communication between Saint Thomas and nearby residents and it is notew.orthy and positive that Saint Thomas has offered a representative to that group. I request that the Board take action on this variance today in order that the decision process can be concluded in time for constiuction to begin this summer . While I realize that this request is somewhat unusual, tne cost to the seminary of construction delay would be considerable. �� _ �0 _ Board of Zoning Appeals Page 2 July 27, 1982 I will be happy to lend what assistance I can to this new alliance and will be happy to discuss this matter with anyone who might wish to do so. ��c;er�� ,/ � G oe r Latimer � Mayor GL:bz cc: District 14 Community Council .Members of the City Council � College of Saint Thomas Saint John Vianney Seminary _ rn _ , 94 Cleveland Avenue North St. Paul, MIv 55I05 July 26, 1982 Ms. Gladys Morton .

Reiche rt Deputy Director - Planning RE_: St. Thomas College - Zoning File r9200 You have requested s�ome background information regarding St. Thomas College's request for variances to construct a chapel and five-story dormitory for its seminary students. This request (and the neighborhood's r.esponse to it) is the latest de'velopment in an ongoing dispute between St. Thomas and its neighbors. Increased Enrollment . The college's enrollment has increased from 2,451 students in 1973 to 5,360 students in the fall of 1981 , an increase of 129.7%. This increase in enrollment has strained relations between the college and the neighborhood and created a number of problems : 1 . Lack of on-street pa rking for neighborhood residents because commuting students park on the streets adjacent to the campus; 2. Lack of sufficient on-campus housing opportunities to meet the demand (the college stated it had a waiting list of 172 students last September) ; and 3. An increase in the number of students living near the campus in college- owned housing or renting f rom private landlords , with what the neighbors claim is a resulting increase in noise and general rowdiness. � Student Housing in Neiahborhood St. Tho�-�as has attemp�ed to meet its need for additional student housing by placing students in homes it owns in the surrounding area, to the neighbors ' dismay. The most recent indication of the strained relations between college and neighborhood occurred last winter, when the college soughtspecial condition use permits to use two homes as dormitories . These two houses were across Cleveland Avenue f rom the campus . One house was a single family dvrelling ; the other was a duplex. The college had evidently been housing students in these homes for scme time , unaware that they needed permits . At the time they applied for the permits , there were 8 students in the single family dwelling and 16 in the duplex. At the hearing on Novgnber 19, 1981 , the staff recommended approval of the permits because the two houses met the condition of being 250 feet from the school . The neighbors testi- fied of their concerns regarding increased traffic, lack of parking , and noise. They did not believe that St. Thor*ias adequately supervised their students , and they had become increasingly frustrated because the college did not seem to be responding to their concerns. �. � - 5S - .... • � . � ��. Mayor George Latimer Page Two July 19, 1982 For its part, the college explained that they expected enrollment to peak in 1982, and that as enrollment declined they wo�ld no longer need to use the houses as dormitories. At the close of the hearing, the Zoning Committee voted to approve the permits subject to additional conditions: a maximum of 4 students at the single family house and a maximum of 8 students at the duplex. In each case one of the residents had to be a student supervisor. These conditions are similar to what would be permitted under the Zoning Code without permits : 4 unrelated persons per dwelling unit. St. Thomas appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals , who upheld the Planning Commission. . The college then appealed to the City Council . During this time, the college_ ar�d �the neighborhood agreed on a compromise, and the matter was referred back to the Planning Commission. On June 11, the Planning Commission granted special condition use permits to the college to use the houses for faculty and administrative offices. Student Housing on Campus St. Thomas is now requesting permission to construct a 45 ft. , five-story dormitory and chapel for seminarians. Besides site plan review, they also need a variance of the height limit in R-2 zoning districts , 30 feet and 3 stories. ' The college bases its request on three factors : 1 . the building height is consistent with other campus buildinqs ; 2. the added height will conserve land for parking and open space ; and 3. the building will be set back from the property line a distance of 922 feet rather than the 50 feet required of college buildings by the Zoning Code. The building will therefore not impair the intent of the code or adjacent property's access to light and air. The college further states that moving the seminary to this new building will free the space currently used by the seminarians for additional dormitory space. The neighborhood objects to the building for the following reasons : 1 . inadequate visual and noise buffering ; 2. interference with views , light, and air; 3. concerns about pedestrian and vehicular safety on adjacent streets and at the parking lot entrance. The neighbors further believe that a more suitable location could be found elsewhere on the' ca�:pus. Zoning staff is concerned about the density of development on the campus as well as its effect on the surrounding neighborhood. Since the addition of two stories and 15 feet will save 6,600 square feet of land area, staff will recommend approval of the height variance on condition that a 6,600 sq.ft. space is reserved next to the building to prese rve open space for the building's residents and the neighborhood. The intent of this condition is to prevent overly dense development of this part of the campus. I hope this background material will be helpful to you.

It is a co,nmunity of priests and coliege-age men helping each other to discern God's vocational call to a life of modern ministry as diocesan priests. For thirteen years Saint John Vianney Seminary has sought to pre�are future priests for our times, the post Vatican II age. Throughout its history, the � Catholic Church has depended in a particular way on its servant leaders, the � priests. No less, today. Their training, formation, education is crucial . Nence the continuing importance of our seminaries. Thz following case state- � . ment explains the need to build a permanent home for Saint John Vianney at. � . this time and why an appeal for financiai suoport from individuals � and orga- nizations is necessary. the Seminary expects to begin a $2.5 million capital appeal in 1982 for housing ,construction an its present campus location. The a�peal ��ill sepk help from all in the Archdiocese and o�her areas the Seminary serves. 7his request represents Phase I of a comprehersive plan for Seminary renewal which inciudes the Saint Paul Seminary and St. Thomas College. � S�t�1INARY EDUCATIO'� IS IMPORTAN3 Seminary educatior� and �the training of priests is the heart beat of the Church. It is because of the centrality of for�nation programs (in the making o` a priest) that an extraordinary apoeal for support of our Archdiocesan college �evel seminary is made at this time. For more than a century pries�s traired in our seminaries have preached the Word a�d administered the Sacraments, have taught, motivated and or�gar�ized those who were gathered together as a Catf�olic ccmmunity of .prayer. Thus, �herz is growth (in the knowiedge o� God anc� the depth of Hi.s love) of His Kirc�dom - one of truth, justicz, peace and love. O�r beginnings were modest, but the quali�y of seminary education has altivays been hign. Tne pries�s sent forth were strong and well pr2�ared. As our seminary progr�m grew in size, the quality o; education refiected the times . The Catholic Church in St. Paul/Minneapolis and surrounding dioceses is v�brant today for many reasons. Chief among these is the `act that sound priestly formation has been tt�e hallmark of our seminary program. Archbishop John R. Roach recently said: "It is always a joy to tell about our Archdiocesan college semirary �hich stands in the `irst rank of such U.S, priestiy programs. . . The fidelity of our young clergy to their voca= tion can be traced io the preparation they received eariy in their care�rs at Saint John Viznney Seminary. . . Long hours were spent in preparing the mind, heart and spirit to carry out Our Lord' s ministry. " � - 61 - _ � . Page Two We must maintain strong seminaries also for the future. 7he Noly Father Pope John Paul II has a�so addressed this concern for future formation prograns in his first universai leiter to Bishops and Priests on Noly Thursday I979. Ne said: . _ "Today every possible effort must again be made to encourage vocations , to form new generations of priests: This must be done in a genuinely evangelical spirit, and at the same time by 'reading' properly the signs of the times, to which the . Second Vatican Council gave such careful attention. �The full � reconstitution or the life o` the seminaries throughout the � Church will be the besi proof of the achievement of the renewal � . to which the council directed the Church. " • ' The `undamental task or" seminary education for the ruture mission o;` the cnurch is made clear by His Noliness �n his message to the Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education, January 6, 1980: ''One wno brings to this generat�on �he person of Jesus Christ, Who is the only true response, will himselr" have to be solidiy prepared fo.r his task and to have found in Christ not only�light but strenath, the true r�ason ror ] ivino, the authentic model for humanity to follow. - "It is from this starting point *hat the essential task of a seminary must begin, �he task tha� beiongs to all who ar2 respon- sible for forming ruture priests. "It is towards Christ in fact that grace has attracted the gaze of the young men w�l�o aspire to N�s priesthood. ihe,� have al- read.y given Nim their hearts �n an outburst of generosity which is. still ignorant of the de�ands ot formation, but which already consents to all the sacri�ic�s involved. The future priest knows that he wi11 have to give everything and, in the depths of his Soul , he already has done so. " So it should be clear that the foc�s has be�n and mus� continue to be upon the product that our seminaries provide. Congregations in our Archdiocese desire and ne�d quality priests . Sairt John � Vianney Seminary is intent on providing such qua7ity. The statement o� pur- pose .in the Seminary 8ulletin express2s this goal : � "The first reason for �he existence or Saint John Vianney is �he growth and deepening of �he spiritual values of students as they make vocational decisions. The spirituai growth of each individual is encourag�d and evaluated by � his counselor in frequent counseling sessions. The develoFmen� of private and liturgical prayer life, a personal relationstiip with Christ, and awareness or the Spirit in lire, and a commi�- ment to Christ and to �he service of inen are integral to the spiritual life of the studeni. - 62 - . ' r • Paae Three "Tne corrpnunity promotes, in the lives of its members , the spirit of the Gospel which is faith expressed in charitable works. Social education and action and service to others come to be viewed by the seminarians as integral to his faith. " ioday' s Seminary Needs Ne live in changing times. , Periods of transition �emand that we be wise in preserving wnat is esszntial in our heritage. But we must also be free to accept what is new, to change and grow. In its _first thirteen years, Saint John Vianney has labor2d hard to .establish� . a-program that works. It has done so by using the facilities of other insti= � tutions and being cautious befere �naking a capital invest^�ent. Novr with a � proven record and a determ�nation to ma�ce best use of all the faci? ities ava�l- able, it is considered opportune to provide on a permar,ent and s�able basis a- home for Saint John Vianney. -- -. For the �ast ten years, Saint John Vianney has occupied Brady Hall , a student ;� residence cwned by �he Coilege o` St. ihoras, In a time �rhen stewar.dship�� demands that all or our corporate facilities be used to maximize effic�ency, ' st�dies have sho��rn �hat Saint John Vianney cauld corforta►�ly mee� its program requirements �n a building _two-thirds tne size of its �resent situaLion,• At the same time, use of 8rady Nall could be ut to maximu, St. ihcmas boarder �students ;vno are res- p '� servic� by 240 regular p �ntly frustrated by the lack ��o� cam�us hous;ng. In short, the goal is to provide for all needs in as e�`ficient a way a� possible. With t�is in mind, the College of St. Thomas wili be reclaining orady Hall �e nouse reeular students ir Jure or" 1983. T�is m�kes it i��perativ� �hat �n adzguate r2sidence with long tern permanEncy be provid2d for Saint John Vi ar,ney. r Fallowing extei�sive and car2ful stu�y and a brcad testing of opinion �m�nC bott� c?eryy ard laity, the SJV 8oard of D�rectors and th2 ArchdiocQse ha`-e decided to keep �n� s�minary �n the College of St. Tnomas and to bu�ld a str�clure more in tune with procram and enr�llr�nt needs now and in the pro- jec�ed ruture.

Sharing o` suc� racilities is absolutely essential . Enroilment �;�d alumni statistics : SJV is presently the largest col7eg2-related seminary in the ceuntry, its success is in par� attri�uted to its location at the CST. Its enro7lment has be�n stab?e and shows evidence of growth. ?979-106 1980-105 1°81-10i ?982(project?d)11�) - 63 - . � . � � Page Four Presently there are thirty-two Archdiocesan s�udents at SJV and signs that this number wi�l be increased to forty in the near future. The seminary also currently serves nineteen dioceses from throughout the Mid-West helping those communities which are not gifted with the reso�rces of a Cathoiic college semina�-y. One-hundred and thirty-three Saint John Vianney graduates are ordained ,priests, forty-nine serve the Archdiocese and seventy percent (70°�) of the total number of graduates are either ordained or in schoals of theology. The ratio is higher yet when compared with ?arger Catholic population centers _ such as Boston and Chicago. � - Program: Saint John Vianney as the largest college-related seminary in the , country is highly respected. Totally in accord witn the Program of Priestly . Formation of the National Conference or Catholic Bishops, it stresses the classical aspects of seminary t�raining--personal faith and prayer formation, , . self-discipline, academic development and exce7lence. But also, it recognizes . the responsibility to address _the. human development questions of i.his age group--�he value of -interaction and a- relatively normal college� experience with its inherent demands for_ growth., exercise of leadership and personal responsibil�i�y. Its ordained alumni nave cited this asp�ct as "being ext�•emeiy beneficial to them as they now serve congregations with unders�anding. Its atriliation with St. Thomas College a��ords the seminarians an excellent educational opportunity and ful;ills the pilosophy, theology and language requirements of priestly preparation. The academic achievement in this environment has been outstanding. In 1980 the top t�No studenis at St. Thomas Coilege were from JSV. In 1981, four SJV s�udents (out el 32) were among the sixteen (out of 650) summa •cum laude oraduates of St. iheras Co� lege. T�e c�ntact, interact;on with other CST students, plus partic+pation in on- c�,^�pus activities cives the seminary student a rounded and varied experienc� irivaivable in his later minisierial service. t;osts: SJV is cost efficient to run. Since most tuition, room and board and incidental se�inary csots are pa:d directly into archdiocesan subsidies. More- over, they are significantly iower than oiher college s�minary situations. This is illustrated by the fact that the per capita cost or a typical self- � contained seminary representative of this �y�e af progrzm on the East Coasi is presently S14,000. 00 compare� with �6,4�5.00 at SJV. � St. Themas provides instruction for the szminarians .a� 70`0 or its actual cost (this is typ�cal of all similar college situations) as well as supplying an efticient food service and making available other faciiities cost-free. This e�ables the seminary t� contain operating expenses considerabiy. It is expected that actua] operational costs to the �rchdioczse will be reduced even further when the new formation house is occupied in 1983. Beyond the actual operating costs , SJV has paid St. Thornas College 550,000/annum for debt reduction on Brady Hali . A permanent SJV facili�y �rould eliminate thi_s expense. In addition, with a s'ubstantial reduction of the square footage of building occupied i .e. 2/3 the size of Brady Hall , and with energy efficiency and wise planning, saving could accrue to the extent that the facility couid pay for itself in the years to come. Responsible use of resources and sound stewardship warrant a shift in location and cons�ruction of a mor2 suitable building. - 64 - 4 , �`1 y ��/ ' . . Pag� Five Par�icipation of Other Dioceses Saint John Vianney has affiliation with 25 dioczses througno�t the Mid-'vJest. Preszntly, 19 send students to the ins�ituticn. These dioceses highly value the benerits and s2rvices of the program. A staff priest has been provided from the Onaha Archdiocese in the past. The diocese of Bel]eville, Illinois , will be sending a staff priest beginning in th2 1982-83 academic year. Moreover, the dioceses have manifested a willingness to participate in the upcoming capital expenses of Saint John Vianney. Participation in the formation progra�n by large numbers of students from outside dioceses contributes to its quality and cosmo- politan character. It has an additional benefit: because of fixed costs, addi- tional enrollment actually lowers szminary and hence Archdiocesan costs. . Benefits to St. Thomas College and S�. Paul Seminary � .. -� St. Tho^as benerits from the pr�sence of the seminary by having nearly 120 full - tirre s�udents in its liberal arts program, many of whom would noi otherwise att=nd the, college. Several seminarians have be�n accorded the highest academic honors . �lso, the seminary contributes to the Catholic .character of tne col- leges--Lhus making others aware of the ider��tity and respcnsibility of the insti�ution. The resolut�on of �he Saint Jchn Vianney residency question must be seen as Phase ? or a program of total seminary renewal �•�hich enconpasses aiso the r,�ar�y St. Paul Graduate Seminary. The St. �=u1 Seminary is pr2sently addressing 9ts long range future, a task .which, wi71 re�uir2 additional time. The St. Paul Semina.ry is examining its future in cc, �junc�ion with St. Thomas College--in order that cooperative quality programs c�n be ozfered with max�mum cost effi- ciency. A spec�al committee has been es�ablished by the Archbishop to overs�e and guide the program through the tnree phases of this renewal . Both the faculty at St. Paul Seminary and at Saint John Vianney recognize tn�t the nature of the under graduate instit�ticr, requ�res a dtgr�ee or inde�end2nce in programs wnile at the same time cooperating in the overall goa]s of seminary renewal . In seeking to meet its requirements, Saint John Vianney will coopera�e � with both St. Thomas and the St. Paul Seminary as ali three institu�ions ��rork together to prepare for their respective long-ranae futures. Consultation The Sa�nt John Vianney Board or Direczors authorized the budgeting and conduct ' of a pr�fessional feasibility study in order that individuai and tivide-rang�ng consultation might take place among �he lzity, in addition to members of the Archd�oCes�n clergy. Over 200 individuals in the Archdiocese as well as many Bishops and leaders in other dioceses participated. The majority of personal interviewe�s and pot�ntial large donors believe that the seminary is a welcome need and feel positively abo�t the propose� Seminary Appeal . They also indicate strong support for building construction on the Co7lege of St. Thomas Campus and recom�nend that the Appeal should begin as soon as an organization can be built. Tnese basic findings were f�rther en- dorsed at an open meeting of priests which firchbishop Roach conducted. The priests were especia7ly emphatic in voici�g support �or the c�rtinuation oT the Saint John Vianney college program. _ �� _ . . � � , ' ' Page Six t�HAT MUST BE DONE Only one realistic solut�on to the Saint Jonn Vianney Housing need exists : Initiate fund raising on behalf of the seminary throughout the Archdiocese and other dioceses to which the seminary reiatps. After careful s�udy of the problems and needs, the seminary has embarked on a well-conceiVed and intensive $2,500,000 capital ap�eal planned with ,`oresight and flexibility. Confident of its present maturity as a formation center, but cogni�zant of the � � restrictions imposed by its limited physical and economical resources, Saint John Vianney Sem�nary now seeks help as it prepares for the challenge�� ef the next decades and the 21 century. • . . What does Saint John Vianney need? „ What the Seminary needs is not just capita�l gifts. What it really needs in order to secure it� future work is for every.person to become acquainted with Saint John Vianney Seminary. Then, after seriously considering its coniribution to the Cnurch, to as;c the question, "Is the priestly formation program which affects my church and my lire, worth supporting? Is it worth working for?" The first 13 years of endeavor as a priestly formaticn house �or college level serinarians has proven its program and made Saint John Vianney a model for other college seminaries throuohout North ,��erica. This persuades us to answer in tne a`firmative. An ar�irmative answer is pivotal in preserv�ng not only our presence, impact, and regional s�rength but in endorsing the future of pries;,- hoo� voca�ions -for the Archdiocese. We have presented the case in terms o` the vital olace the colleee s2mirary forma�ion program has in the life of the Churcn as ii centers on the priesthood, Tne other part of the picture has to do with the monies needed, the reasons ror thes2 ne�ds, and the manner in which the monies gathered througn this A�peal will be uti] ized. As you conclude reading this statement far Saint John Viznney SE��nary, think about the many contributions tne priesthood has mzde to your own lire and that or your loved ones. Can you possibly imagine how many families in the Arch- diocese� of St. Paul/;�iinneapolis have be�n touched because a son pre�ared for the priesthood? Consider how many people or" God, scattered throughout the Mid- k'es� as well as in our own Archdioc�sz have be�n enriched by weil-educated priests sensitive to �heir needs. Thus far 133 priests have studied at Saint John Vianney and been ordained to the priestnood. Forty-nine alone nave been from the Arcndiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis. - Each of us has been blessed by the products of our seminaries, for there our priests are trained! .

JONN VIANNEY SEMINARY BRIEF HISTORY After three years at Loras and Cretin residences on the St. Paul Seminary Campus , a ten-year Letter of Intent was signed by St. John Vianney and St. Thomas College for the use of Brady Hall . It has not been renewed because of the shortage of student housing and the mutual determination to use the available space efficiently. In seeking a permanent home, � St. John Vianney is not proposing an expansion. The actual spatial need ' to accocr�nodate the St. John Vianney program with an optimum number of ' 120 students is 43 ,000 square feet as opposed to the present 65,OOQ square feet. Cost of this project will be �,2.5 million. ENROLLN,ENT AN� ALUMNI STATISTICS 1979 - 106 1980 - 105 1981 - 107 1982 (projected)� 215 SAINT JOHN VIAN��EY TODAY � --St. John Vianney is pre'sently the largest college-related seminary in . the country. --19 dioceses have students enrolled. 34 are from the Archdiocese. --33A of those who have attended St. John Vianney are either ordained or in schools of theology (national average is at 25A) � --70% of St. John Vianney graduates are either ordained or in schools of theology. --133 .5*_. JoF:n Vianney alur,ni are ordained--49 are from St, Paul and Minneapolis . --in 1980 the top two students at St. Thomas College were from St. John Vianney. --in 1981 4 St, John Uianney students (out of 23) were among the 16 (out of 650) summa cum laude graduates of St. Thomas College. --Seminarian Bill Vouk was selected as the recipient of the 1982 "Tommy Award" by the College as an outstanding Senior. --This year, 3 St. John Vianney students graduated summa cum laude , 3 magna cum laude , 2 cum laude (out of 24) . STAFF Consisting of priests , a religious and lay woman, the staff places special emphasis on the team model . A priest from the Archdiocese of Omaha served on the St. John Vianney staff for 4 years . The di-ocese of Belleville , IL will be sending a staff priest beginning in the 1982-83 academic year. - 6% - . . . . Page. Two PROGRAM In total conformity with the Program for priestly formation of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops , the seminary formation consists principally of: Prayer and faith life; counseling; Apostolic life involvement and reflection; community life. Al1 of the academic program is provided by St. Thomas College. Participation in college campus activities is also encouraged. SEMINARY LOCATION AT St. THOMAS � - Its affiliation with St. Thomas College affords the seminarians an - excellent educational opportunity and fulfills the philosophy, theology � and language requirements of priestly preparation. The academic achieve- ment in this environment has been outstanding. The contact and interaction with other St. Thomas College students, plus � participation in on-campus activities gives the seminary students a rounded and varied experience invaluable in later ministerial service. � The location at St. Thomas is supported by St. John VianneyjSt. Thomas College/St. Paul Seminary staffs because of the program value. It contributes to the Catholic character of the college and enabies a � facility designed to meet specific seminary needs: SEMINARY EXPENSES --St . John Vianney is cost efficient to run (�6,450.00 per capita as conpared with 514,000 at a typical self contained seminary) --�50,000 to St. Thomas for debt retirement --5�0,000 to St. Thomas for operating costs . --The� new facility will eliminate debt retirement expenses and reduce operating costs because the build�ng will be 2/3 the size of Brady Hall and more energy efficient. ADVANTAGES OF THIS APPROACH --Fixed costs charged directly to diocese or student --Reduced operating costs --Building designed to house partially St. Thomas College students if it , should be too large ' --Building available fo�• use and purchase by the College of St. ?homas if seminary should no longer be viable --Use for su�ner programs - reducing seminary costs . SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR ST. JOHN VIANNEY _ --Special gifts (from donors who make large contributions to educational or similar institutions) --Foundations --Suppor� from Dioceses sending students to St. John Vianney --An educational phase in the Archdiocesan parishes with a po_.sible special gifts and/or a "second" collection. - 6� - . � , COLLEGE OF ST.

The St. Paul Seminary is presently addressing its long range future, a task which will require additional time. The St. Paul Seminary is examining its future in conjunction with St. Thomas College--in order that cooperative quality programs can be offered with maximum cost efficiency. At the present time, both the faculty at St, Pau] Seminary and at Saint John Vianney recognize ,the value of independent, separate and distinct programs. In seeking to meet its requirements , Saint John Vianney will cooperate with both St. � � Thomas and the 5t. Paul Seminary as all three institutions work together � to prepare for their respective long range futures. CONSULTATION WITH SEMINARY LEADERSHIP AND CONSTITUENTS Tfie St. John Vianney Board of Directors authorized the budgeting and conduct of a professional feasibility study for wide-ranging consul- tation with laity and clergy. Over two-hundred individuals parti- cipated. The majority of personal interviewees and potential large donors believe that the serninary need is. serious and feel positively about the proposed � Seminary Appeal . They also indicate strong support for building con- struction on the College of St. Thomas Car�pus and recommend that the Appeal should proceed according to schedule. These basic findings were further endorsed at an open meeting of priests which Archbishop Roach conducted. The priests were especially emphatic in voicing support for the continuation of the Saint John Vianney program. - 69 - r . �`�' `� 33/ : , �: � .� *�Ls .

' BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS DECISION: Approve (6-1 ) STAFF RECOMP1ENDATION: Approve SUPPORT: 6 Letters; 2 people testified OPPOSITION: 5 Letters; 12 people testified Dear Sir: On July 27, 1982, the Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing on the application of Griswold & Rauma Architects, Inc. , to consider a variance of the maximum height of buildings in a R-2 zoning district to permit construction of a 5-story seminary residence on the campus of the College of St. Thomas. The staff recommendation was for approval . , The Board reviewed the correspondence on the matter (six letters in support I and five letters in opposition) and heard public testimony. (Two people testified in support and twelve people testified in opposition. ) The applicant based the variance request on three factors : 1 ) the proposed building height is similar with other campus buildings; 2) the added height will cpnserve land for parking and open space; and 3) the proposed building would be set back 922' from the property line rather than the 50' required by code. This additional yard space was provided so as to allow adequate light and air to neighboring properties. The applicant also contends that this building will free-up use of other facilities (Brady Hall ) and reduce the acute college housing shortage and related pressure for on-street parking. Opposition to the variance was based primarily on concern that the construction would: 1 ) lessen visual and noise buffering; 2) interfere with views, light, air, and television reception; and 3) reduce pedestrian and vehicular safety on the adjacent street and at the parking lot entrance. The neighbors also contend that a more suitable location could be found elsewhere on campus. . �. - . `R . � , CONTEP�TS Transmittal of Appeal to City Council . i Letter of Appeal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . � � Application for Zoning Variance. . . . . . . . . . . � 3 ' Zoning Staff Report. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Area MaP. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Board of Zoning Appeals Resolution. . . . . . . ,14 'July 14, 1982, Minutes , Board of Zoning Appeals . ,16 Correspondence Opposing the Variance. . . . . . . . � ,�g ' Correspondence Supporting the Variance. . . . . . . . . . . . . . , , , , , ,29 � I � I . i � 1 I � ��'��/ Au� ��, j�� . .

John Vianney Seminary ' s requested height variance for a 5-story dormitory . Ref. zoning file #9200 Resolution dated July 27, 1982 Dear Mr . Tedesco: This letter is a notice that our oroanization , St . Thomas Neighbors , requests an evening bearing with the St . Paul City Council to pr.ovide statements and testimony as to a�hy the height variance should be denied . This appeal is being submitted in accordance a�ith the provisions of 64. 205 ( and any revisions ) . 1�e have enclosed the $75. 00 fee required to file our appeal . Our appeal for denial of the variance is based on botb factual and administrative errors. Your attention is called to significant factual errors present in the report presented by the Loning Board staff at the hearing . Tbe following facts contradict the assertion tbat the present physical pattern would be preserved if this variance were granted : A. In examining tbe present physical layout adjacent to the proposed site, it can be seen that a 3-story building would not be an anomaly ; Irish American 12 ' (one story) Catholic Digest 35 ' (3 stories) Dowling Hall 40 ' (4 stories) Ireland Hall 50 ' (4 stories) B. The presentation of� data regarding the density issue was also factually incorrect . The proposed dormitory would be 5 stories in height . � None of the nearb3� buildings contains as many stories. The proposed building represents an increase in density , rather than preservation of the ehisting historical character . , , � - � - , t , Mr . Victor J . Tedesco August 26 , 1982 Page 2 C. The chart presented at the hearing was inaccurate and incomplete. John Paul II dormitory a�as omitted com- pletely and Brady Hall was diminished in size; giving the impression that the campus is less crowded than it actually is. D. The slide presentation , rather than revealing the single- family homes directly across from the site, showed only a corner apartment building , which may have led the Zoning Board to believe that our neighborbood is composed entirely of tall apartment buildings and dormitories. Vie wish also to bring to your attention an administrative error in tbe July 2? hearing : Appeal procedures were short-circuited by elimination of the 15-day waiting period normally practiced before denying or granting a variance . V►�e believe that tbis change in established policy a�as unR�arranted , considering the magnitude of this decision and the prior request from tbe neighbors that the waiting period be observed as usual .

The proposed building height is five stories and 45 ft. 2 in. to the roof of the principal mass of the building. Strict application of the code would place pecul�iar and im- practical timitations on the proposed building which is de- � signed to conform generally with existing campus height and density patterns and to retain land for campus apen space, parking and recreational uses . b) The granting of a variance will not be a substantial detriment to the public good or a substantial impairment of the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance because the proposed height is in conformance with established height and density patterns of the College of St. Thomas . The proposed building is set back 92 ft. 6 in. from the north property line a�long Selby Avenue. This set back is to a chapel element which is a singte story structure with a maximum height of 24 ft .

Site Plan Review At the request of Donna Dakin of the St. Pau) Zoning Office, we are providing the following additional information related to the Application for Site Plan Review for St. John Vianney Seminary, fi led on Monday; June 225, 19t32 . The administrative staff for the seminary is comprised of the . rector, secretary and bookkeeper, who live off campus . The faculty consists of four priests who have counseling and program responsibilities . They wilt live in the proposed seminary residence. A fifth counselor is a nun who lives off campus. Four guest rooms are provided for visiting priests who will have adjunct responsibility in the seminary p rog ram. . The four resident priests and four visitors are accounted in the catculation of parking spaces required in relation to bed count. (43 spaces for a total resident population of 128) . The seminary program which has been located in Brady Hall for ten years will be moved into the proposed new building without any increase in the administrative or counselor staff. The propo�ed site plan. does not include additional parking spaces allocable to non resident staff because such staff will remain unchanged as to number.. By vacating Brady Hall r.he sPminarv wi11 relPase s�ace whi�.h c:an . be occupied by approximately 200 new on campus student residents . � This should have the affect of reducing housing pressure from the neighborhood and related pressure for on street parking.

The question regarding preservation of the existing trees and our affirmative response are encircled by red line. We believe that the project site has exceptional physical characteristics which should be recognized. It is contiguous with the campus of the College of St. Thomas where the historic pattern of development is established and characterized by buildings which are taller than the Zoning Code provides and by yard spaces which are proportionately scaled to the buildings. The objective of the proposed site plan is to maintain consistancy with the established historical pattern , and with the established building heights contiguous to the site.

PkkSENT ZONING: R-2 ZONING CODE REFEREP�CE: Section 61 .101 6. STAFF INVES7IGATIUN & REPORT: DATE 7/�2/82 BY Fred S. Haider A. PURPOSE: To consider a 15' height variance to permit construction of a seminary resid ne ce. Code limits buildings in a R-2 zoning district to 3 stories and 30 feet. The applicant proposes 5 stories and approximately 45 feet. B. PARCEL SIZE : 86,786 square feet of total area (1 .99 acres) . C. SITE & SURROUNDING CONDITIONS: This parcel is vacant and within the Campus of the College of St. Thomas. The land use of the immediate surrounding area is residential . The St. Paul Seminary is located southwest of the St. Thomas Campus and the Town and Country Club is located 2 blocks northwest. Currently the site is used for recreation. D. ZONING CODE CITATION: Section 61 . 101 , Schedule of Regulations , limits building height to 30' 3 stories in R-2 zoning districts. The applicant proposes to construct a 5-story building (45' above grade). E. FINDINGS : 1 . The applicant proposes to construct a seminary residence with a �uilding height of 45' 2" to the roof of the principal mass of the building. 2. The variance request appears to be based on the exceptional physical condition of the property and existing development on site. Existing physical patterns or' development create a historic ambience of taller buildings . A 3-story building would be an anomaly with the no�r established historic character of the campus site. 3. St►,ict application of the Code regulation would result in exceptional undue hardship and exceptional practical difficulties as distinguished from mere inconvenience by reason of the existing physical condition of the property. The applicant could not construct a building that sustains the existing campus pattern without variance. -� 4. The request for variance can be granted vaith�out substantial detriment to the community or to the intent of the Code only if conditions are attached. The proposed height is in conformance with established height and density patterns of the College of St. Thomas and the proposed setback will mitigate the buildings impact on the surrounding community. One intent of the Code is to provide an adequate amount of open space for the benef= - of occupants of the buildin�. The intent of the Code would be met if �he parcel given to the 5-story sem�nary residence included an area equivalent to a parcel � required for a 3-story residence of equal population. In this case, the intent of the Code would be met if 6,600 square feet of additional land area were attached to the proposed parcel . 5. The request for variance can be granted without substantial detriment to the ' neighbors ' supply of light and air, health, safety, or property values . The building is set back 92' 6" from the north property line along Selby Avenue (50' is required) . The main portion of the building, which is f�ve stories , is set back 150' 6" from Selby Avenue property line. The building is set back so as to not impair light and air or diminish the neighbors ' reasonable enjoyment of their property. .' � - 11 - . GRISWOLD & RAUMA ARCHITECTS, INC. (�9200) Page 2 E. FINDINGS CONT' D. 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire for economic gain. F. STAFF ANALYSIS: A major tenant of zoning is to apply equal standards to equal property within a zoning district. The established height �atterns of development within the campus suggests that the requested height variance is reasonable if overcrowding of land and structures do not result. In this case, increasing the area of the parcel to that otherwise required of a 3-story building, with equal population, would meet the intent of the Code and mitigate against overcrowding. G. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on findings 2 through 6, staff recommends approval of the variance on the condition that 6,600 square feet of property be adjoined to this development parcel . - 12 - � . -. • , r. ��TZ;;r ( I 24 7 � �0 0 � � � � � 0 � D I i� ' � �i� b � 0 � � � �6 ,.�.

(;9200) : Variance request to permit construction of a 5-story seminary residence on �elby between Finn and Cleveland (St. Thomas College). . -1�e applicant was present. There was opposition present at the hearing. Mr. I-�aider showed slides o` the site and revie+�+ed the sta`f repert alith a recornmendation for approval wi�h the condition that 6,600 sq. ft. or property be adjoined to the development parcel . The St. Tho„�as Ad Hoc Committee of the Nerriam Park Community Council submitted z letter in oppcsition to the variznce, and commented on the proposed site plan. Six let�ers were received f rom residents in support ; five letters in opposition. The op�osition was based on the belief that the proposed development would aoeravate existinc parking and �ra`fic problems , that the canpus site is already overcrowded , and tn�t o�her sites were more appropriate for the de��elopment. Mr. Naider also reported that a 1 etter was received f rom the �`idy01, s�ati ng hi s support and requestino �hat the Board take irr�ediate ac�ion on the variance in order tn�� the decision proces�s coul�d be concludeo in time `or construction to beein this summer. �zy Faricy, 1783 Berkely, member cf the Buildine Committee ror St. John Vianney, c�arified that it is the seminary requestina the variance and not �he College of St. ihor�as.

Peter Miller, 165 P�. Cretin, testified in opposition bec�u5e he did not know what the building would be used for. Philip McDonald, 2077 Selby, expressed concern with having a potential 5-story St. Thomas College dormitory. He also stated concern with problems during constructien; Selby Avenue is narrow and there is only one entrance to the site. He `elt the lifestyle of seminarians would be the same as dormitory residents and property values would depreciate. Richard i�an Til , 2087 Selby, reported that he took an in`ormal poll of nearby � residents of tne College of St. Thomas concerning the 5-s�ory building and � 82 people out of 94 strongly opposed the variance. They `eel the cclleoe has not fu� �illed its pror�ise �o improve parking prob?ers off-campus. The proble^s �hat alr'eddy exist �+�ill be exascerba�ed by tne construc�ion of the proposed project. It is a seminary residence and should b� located on tne SET1!"iGI'V, CCfrtrUS.

After much discussion the Ad Hoc Conunittee voted to oppose the present location of the dorm/chapel as neighboring properties will be unreasonably affected. The strong opposition to the location stems from the lack of adequate sound and site barriers, preservation of views, light and air, safety of both vehicles ,and pedestrian traffic on area streets and at the entrance/exit to the parking area. The coavnunity believes the proposed building could be located elsewhere on the major Seminary or college campus thus reducing the violations of health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of neighboring residents. The St. Thomas Ad Hoc Committee requests .that the City of St. Paul Planning � Staff recommend denial of the height variance and the present site plan. Representatives oi 5t. John Vianney Seminary acknowiedged tney wouio conLinue to seek the variance and site plar► approval even with the neighborhood's strong opposition. In lieu of this fact, our Committee feels it necessary to comment on the current site plan design so that our opportunity to voice concerns are not forever lost. Therefore, if the current location is approved we believe the following are necessary changes to the site plan submitted: 1) the trees hiding the parking lot fronting Selby Avenue should � include evergreens to provide winter screens. 2) the height of the Berm be increased to 5 or 5� feet so that visual screen is eye level. 3) the current speed bump in the entrance/exit across from Finn be improved so that traffic will move slowly into the neighborhood. _ � � - 25 - � - s _ . t�.s.

This route was selected as Finn is already in poor condition due to the recent construction of the gym facilities. 5) the Developers should specify if, and where, the tennis courts and basketball courts will be relocated. 6) all on-site lighting should be installed to face away from adjacent residences. 7) construction should occur only during the hours of 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. weekdays. . 8) conditions should be imposed to limit the blockade of .

After nuch discussion the Ad Hoc Committee voted to oppose the granting of the height variance for the dorm/chapel as neighboring properties will be unreason- ably affected. The strong opposition to the location stems from the ,lack of adequate sound and site barriers, preservation of views, safety of both vehicles and pedestrian traffic on area streets and at the entrance/exit to the parking area, and ootential reduction in property values. The Committee believes the proposed building could be located elsewhere on the major seninary or college campus, thus reducing the violations of health, safety, comfort, and welfare of neighboring residents. The St. Thomas Ad Hoc Committee believes the request for the height variance should be denied as St. John Vianney had the choice of selecting three other site locations on the college campus, and many potential locations on the St. Pa��l Seminary grounds. Thus, they do not qualify for the height vaziance due to any exceptional physical conditions of the property. The Corvnittee realizes a precedent was set by the granting of a height variance for the John Paul II dormitory; however, there have been many problems resulting from that dorm that are aggravated by its height. For example, stereos are often heard blaring from morning until late evening. The noise can be heard three and four blocks away from John Paul II, presumably due to the lack of tall trees for screening. � Comrr�ittee nenbers fear the above type of problerr„ and others, will occur at the proposed St. John Vianney Seninary since much of the upper floors of the b��ilding will be devoted to dorms. The� screening provided in the site plan will not provide an adequate sound barrier from the upper floors. _ Representatives of St. John Vianney Seminary scknowledged they would continue to seek the variance and site plan approval, even with the neighborhood's strong - 27 - . . � . , � .

I believe, therefore, that the variance has merit. It is a fact that there are issues, some with quite a history, existing between the College of Saint Thomas and the surrounding neighborhood. These issues must be the topic of continuing dialogue ir negotiations between the college and neighborhood representatives, who have a legitimate concern about their community absorbing the growth over the years of the student population as Saint Thomas continues its successful pursuit of a diverse and invigorated curriculum. This project will not exacerbate problems associated with that growth, but rather will shif t students from off-campus housing back to the campus . To the degree that help from my office, or my own assistance, can improve the dialogue and speed negotiations between neighborhood representatives and the college, that resource is available. The new West Grand Avenue citizens group offers a fresh channel of communication between Saint Thomas and nearby residents and it is noteworthy and positive that Saint Thomas has offered a representative to that group. I request that the Board take action on this variance today in order that the decision process can be concluded in time for const�ruction to begin this swnmer . While I realize that this request is somewhat � unusual, the cost to the seminary of construction delay would be considerable. �` - 7Q - , . � � Board of Zoning Appeals Page 2 July 27, 1982 I will be happy to lend what assistance Z can to this new alliance and will be happy to discuss this matter with anyone who might wish to do so. ��r�}.q.' � G oe r Latimer � Mayor � GL:bz cc: District 14 Community Council .Members of the City Council � College of Saint Thomas Saint John Vianney Seminary - 30 - � , y_ , . - ��6�1.

Proposed New Residence k SUBJECT l � • Application for Site Plan Review This morning in company wi th Mr. Greg P1cGough we fi led the Application for Site Plan Review at the St. Paul Zoning Office �• • . at 110 City Hall Annex. Donna Dakin received the Application for the St. Paul Zoning Office and advised us as folloti•,s : � 1 . A Zoning Variance App) ication must be filed for an action by the Board of Zoning Appeals relative to a variance to permit the proposed building to exceed a 30 ft . height limitation set forth in the Zoning Code for R-2 Zoning Districts . 2. The Application must be filed on or before July 6 in order to be heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals ir. its meeting scheduled on July 27. To clarify the information provided with the Application for Site Plan Review, we stated that the chapel facility , included in the description of proposed uses , will be used soley for liturgical uses and meetings intrinsic to the seminary program, the seminary residents and staff. The chapel will not provide public services which might require additional parking spaces .

Reichert Deputy Director - Planning RE.: St. Thomas College - Zoning File r9200 You have requested some background information regarding St. Thomas College's request fo'r variances to construct a chapel and five-story dormitory for its seminary students. This request (and the neighborhood's r.esponse to it) is the latest de'velopment in an ongoing dispute between St. Thomas and its neighbors. Increased Enrollment � 7he �college's enrollment has increased from 2,451 students in 1973 to 5,360 students in the fall of 1981 , an increase of 129. 7%. This increase in enrollment has strained relations between the college and the neighborhood and created a number of problems : 1 . Lack of on-street parking for neighborhood residents because commuting students park on the streets adjacent to the campus; 2. Lack of sufficient on-campus housing opportunities to meet the demand (the college stated it had a waiting list of 172 students last September) ; and 3. An increase in the number of students living near the campus in college- owned housing or renting f rom private landlords , with what the neighbors claim is a resulting increase in noise and general mwdiness. � Student Nousinq in Neiahborhood - St. Thorr�as has attempted to meet its need for additional student housing by placinq students in homes it owns in the surrounding area, to the neighbors ' dismay. The most recent indication of the strained relations between college and neighborhood occurred last winter, when the college soughtspecial condition use permits to use two homes as dormitories . These two houses were across Cleveland Avenue f rom the cacnpus. One house was a single famil�y dwelling ; the other was a duplex. The college had evidently been housing students in these homes for some time , unaware that they needed permTts. At the time they appli.ed for the permits , there were 8 students in the single family dwelling and 16 in the duplex. At the hearing on November 19 , 1981 , the staff recommended approval of the permits because the two houses met the condition of being 250 feet from the school . The neighbors testi- fied of their concerns regarding increased traffic, lack of pa rking , and noise. They did not believe that St. Thor�as adequately supervised their students , and they had become increasingly frustrated because the college did not seem to be responding to their concerns. .a. :. � - 58 - • Mayor George Latimer Page Two July 19, 1982 For its part, the college explained that they expected enroalment to peak in 1982, and that as en rollment declined they wo�ld no longer need to use the houses as dormitories. At the close of the hearing, the Zoning Committee voted to approve the permits subject to additional conditions: a maximum of 4 students at the single family house and a maximum of 8 students at the duplex. In each case one of the residents had to be a student supervisor. These conditions are similar to what would be permitted under the Zoning Code without permits : 4 unrelated persons per dwelling uni t. St. Thomas appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals , who upheld the Planning Commission. The college then appealed to the City Council . During this time, the college. and the neighborhood agreed on a compromise, and the matter was referred back to the Planning Commission. On June 11, the Planning Commission granted special condition use permits to the college to use the houses for faculty and administrative offices. Student Housing on Campus St. Thomas is now requesting permission to construct a 45 ft. , five-story dormitory and chapel for seminarians. Besides site plan review, they also need a variance of the height limit in R-2 zoning districts , 30 feet and 3 stories. The college bases its reouest on three factors : l . the building height is consistent with other campus buildings ; 2. the added height will conserve land for parking and open space ; and 3. the building will be set back fran the prcperty line a distance of 92z feet rather than the 50 feet required of college buildings by the Zoning Code. The building will therefore not impair the intent of the code or adjacent property's access to light and air. The college further states that moving the seminary to this new building will free the space currently used by the seminarians f or additional dormitory space. The neighborhood objects to the bui.lding for the following reasons : 1 . inadequate visual and noise buffering ; 2. interference with views , light, and air; 3. concerns about pedestr�an and vehicular safety on adjacent streets and at the parking lot entrance. The neighbors further believe that a more suitable location could be found elsewhere on the ca-pus. Zoning staff is concerned about the density of development on the campus as well as its effect on the surrounding neighborhood. Since the addition of two stories and 15 feet will save 6,600 square feet of land area, staff will recommend approval of the height variance on condition that a 6,600 sq.ft. space is reserved next to the building to prese rve open space for the building's residents and the neighborhood. . The intent of this condition is to prevent overly dense development of this part of the campus. I hope this background material will be helpful to you.

It is a comm�:nity of priests and college-age men helping each other to discern God's vocational call to a life of modern ministry as diocesan priests. , Far thirteen years Saint John Vianney Seminary has sought to prepare future priests for our times, the post Vatican I: age. Througho�t its history, the - Catholic Church has depended in a particular way on i:s servant leaders, the � priests. No less, today. Their training, formation, education is crucial . Hence the continuing importance of our seminaries . The following case state- nent explains the need to build a perm�nent home for Saint John Vianney at this time and why an appeal ror financial support from individuals and orga- nizations is necessary. The �eninary expects to begin a $2. 5 million capital appeai in 19a2 for housing ,construction on its present campus location. The appeal will se�k help from all in the Archdiocese and other areas the Seminary serves. This request represents Phase I of a compr�her,sive plan tor Seminary renewal which includes the Saint Paul Seminary and St. ihomas College. � SEMINARY EDUCATIC�?' IS IMPORTANT Seminary educatior� and the training of priests is the 'r,�art beat of the Church. It is because of the centrality of for��ation programs (in the making or a pries�} that an extraordinary appeal for support of our Archdiocesan college �evel seminary i�s made at this time. For more �han a cen�ury pries�s traired in our seminaries have preached the Word and administered the Sacraments, have taughfi, motivated and organized �hose who were gathered together as a Cathoiic com�nunity of prayer. Thus, tf�ere is growth (in the knowledge of God anc� the depth of His love) of His Kingdom - one of truth, jus�ice, peace and love. Our beginnings were modest, but the quali�y of seminary education has always been high. The priests sent forth were strong and well prepared. As our szminary progr�m grew in size, the quality of education reflected the times . The Catholic Church in St. Paul/Minneapolis and surrounding dioceses is vibrant today for many reasons. Chief among these is the `act that sound priestly formation has been tl�e hallmark of our seminary program. Archbishop John R. Roach recently_ said: "It is always a joy to tell about our Archdiocesan college semir�ry which stands in the first rank of sucn U.S. priestly programs. . . The fideli�y of our young clergy to their voca= tion can be traced io the pr2paration they rec�ived eariy in their careers at Saint John Viznney Seminary. . . Long nours were spent in preparing the mind, hear± and spirit to carry , out Our Lord' s ministry. " � - 61 - � ' s , Paoe Two We must maintain stron seminaries also for the future. The Holy Father Pope John Paul II has a7so addressed this conc2rn for future formation programs in his first universal 1et�er to Bishops and Priests on Noly Thursday 1979. H� said: , "Today every possible efrort must again be made to encourage vocations , to form new genera�ions of priests. This must be done in a genuinely evangelical spirit, and at the same time by 'reading' properly the signs of the times, to which the . Second Vatican Council gave such careful attention. �The tull - reconstitution o� the lire o` the seminaries throughout the Church will be the best proof of the achievement of the renewal � to which the council directed the Church. " � The rundamental task of seminary education ror the ruture mission o,` the cnurch is made clear by His Holiness in his mess�ge to the Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education, January 6, 1980: "One who brings to this generat�on �he person o` Jesus Christ, Who is the only true response, will himsel� have to be sol.idiy prepared fo.r his task and to have found in Christ not only light but strength, the true reason for living, the authentic model for human9ty to follow. "It is from this starting point that the essential task of a seminary must begin, �he �ask tha� beiongs to all who are respon- sible for forming future priests. "It is towards Christ in fact that grace has at�racted t,he gaze of the young men wl�o aspire to H�s priesthoo�. 7he� have al- ready given Him their hearts �n an outburst or g2nerosity which is sti11 ignorant of the de�ands of formation, but which a]ready consents to all the sacri�icns involved. The future priest knows that he will have to give everything and, in the depths o` his Soul , he d�r2d�� FdS done so. " So it shou7d be clear that the foc�s has been and must continue to be upon the product that our seminaries Provide. Congregations in our Archdiocese desire and need quality priests . Sairt John - Vianney Seminary is in�ent on providing such quali�y. The stat�ment o," pur- pose .in the Seminary Bulletin express2s this goal : � "Tne first reason for the existence or Saint John Uianney is the growth and dee�ening of �he spiritual values of st�dents as they make voc?tional dpcisions. Tne spirituai growth of each individuaT is encourag�d and evaluated by .� his counselor in frequent counseling sessions. The develoFmen� of private and litur�ical prayer life, a personal relations�ip with Christ, and awareness ef the Spirit in lite, and a commit- ment to Chris� and to the service of inen �re integral to the spiritual life of the studeni. - 62 - � , � Paoe Three "Tne community promotes, in the lives of its members , the spirit of the Gospel which is faith expressed in chari�able works. Social education and action and service to others come to be vieti�red by the seminarians as integral to his faith. " ioday' s Seminary Needs �e live in changing times. , Periods of transition deTand that we be wise in preserving wnat is ess�ntial in our herit�ge. Sut we must also be free to accept what is new, to change and grow. In its _first thirteen years, Saint John Vianney has laborzd hard to .establish� a program that works. It has done so by using the ,`acilities of other ins��i- tutions ar,d being cautious befcre �aking a capitai invest�ent. ^lovr witn a � proven record and a de�erm�nation to ma�e best use of all the facilities avail- able, it is considered opportune to provide on a permanent and stable basis a� home for Saint John Vianney. -- For th� past t�n years, Saint John Vianne� h�s occupied Erady Hall , a student , � residence owne� by the Coilege of St. iharas.. In a time when st2war.dship� demands that all of our corporate facilities be used to maximize efric�ency, s�udies have sho�n �hat Saint John Vianney could comfor�a�ly me�t i�s program r�ouiremenis �n a building two-thirds tne si�e of i�s present situation..

The seminary also currently serves nineteen dioceses from throuohoui the Mi�-West helping those communities which are not gifted with the reso�rces of a Ca�holic college seminary. One-hundred and thirty-three Saint John Vianney graduates are ordained priests, forty-nine serve the Archdiocese and seventy percent (70°;) of the total number of graduates are either ordained or in schools of theoiogy. The ratio is higher yet when compared with ?arger CathoTic population centers such as Boston and Chicago. � Pro ram: Saint John Vianney as the largest coileoe-related seminary in .the country is highly respected. Totally in accord witn the Proaram of Priestly . Formation of the National Conference or' Catholic Bishops, it stresses the classicai aspects of seminary training--personal faith and prayer formation, . self-discipline, academic development and excellence. But a7so, it rec�gnizes the responsibility to �ddress .the_.human development questions of this age group--�he value o� -interaction and a _ relatively no m;al college experience with its inherent demands for._ growth_, exercise of leadership and personal responsibi]�ity. Its ordained alumni nave cited this asp�ct as "being extl•emeiy beneficial to them as they now serve congregations with unders�anding. Its afriliation with St. Thomas College a��ords the szminarians an excellent educational opportunity and ful;ills the pilosop�y, theology and language req_uirements of priestly preparation. The academ�c achieve�ent in this environment has been outstanding. In 2980 the top t�No students at St. Thomas College were from JSV. In I981, four SJV students (out of 32) were among the sixteen (out of 6�0) summa �cum laude grad�ztes of St. ihomas College. 7�e contact, interact;on with otner CST students, plus participation in on- campus activities gives the seminary stude�t a ro�nded and varied experienc2 invaluable in his later minis�erial serv�ce. _ �osts: SJV is ccst e`ricient to run. Since most �uition, room and board and incidental seminary csots are pa:d direc�ly into �rchdiocesan subsidies, h1ore- over, �hey are significantly iower than other colleoe seminary situations. This is illustrated by the fact that the per caait� cost o� a typical self- � contained seminary representative o� this type o� progr�m on the East Coast is presently 514,000. 00 compared with Sb,4�5. 00 at SJV. � St. Thomas provides ins�ruction for the szminarians .at 70`a or its actual cost (�his is typical of all similar college situations) as well as supplying an eFficient food service and making available other r"aciii�ies cost-�ree. This enables �he seminary ta contain operating expenses considerably. It is expected ihat actual operational cos�s to the Archdiocese will be reduced even further when the new formation house is occupied in 1983. Beyond the actual operating costs, SJV has paid St. Thomas College 550,000/annum for debt reduction on Brady Hali . A permanent SJV facility would eliminate this expense. In addition, with a s'ubstantial reduction of the square footage of building occupied i .e. 2/3 the size of 8rady Nall , and with energy e;f;ciency and wise . planning, saving could accrue to �he extent that the facility could pay r"or i�self in the years to come. Responsible use of resources and sound stewardship �rarrant a shift in location and construction of a mor2 suitable building. - 64 - � , � ��]��- Pag� Five Pa�rticipation of Other Dioceses Saint John Vianney has affiliation with 25 dioceses throu`gno�t �he Mid-West. Preszntly, 19 send stu�ents to the ins�ituticn. These dioceses highly value the benefits and szrvices of the program. A staff priest has beQn provided from �he Omaha Archdiocese in the past. The dioczse of Belleville, Illinois , will be sending a staff priest beginning in the 19&2-83 academic year. Moreover, the dioceses have manifested a willingness to participate in the upcoming capital expenses of Saint John Vianney. Participation in the fo rnation program by large numbers of students from outside dioceses contributes to its quality and cosmo- politan character. It has an additional benefit: beCaus2 or fixed costs , addi- tional enrollment actually low�rs se:ninary and hence Archdiocesan costs. . Be�efits to St. Tnomas Col7eae and St. Paul Seminary � . � St. Thonas benerits from �he presence of the seminary by hav�ng nearly 120 full- tirre s��dents in i�s liberal arts program, ,,�any of whom would not otherwise attend the. college. Several seminari�ns nave been accorded the highest academic honors . Also, the seminary contributzs to th� Catholic .charac�er of the co1- leges--�t�us making others aware of the ider►-tity and respcnsibility of the institu�ion. The resolut�on of the Saint John Vianney resic�ency quesiion mus� be se�n as Phzse I of a program of total seminary re^ewal �•�hich encor�passes aiso the rear�y S� . Paul Craduate Seminary. The St. Paul Seminary is przsently addressing i�s long range future, a task which wi] 1 rECUir2 additional time. The St. Paul Seminary is examining its future in conjunc�ion with St. Thomas Col7ege--in order th�t cooperative quality programs can be ozrered with max�mum cost effi - ciency. A special commi�tee has been es�zblished by the Archbishop to overse� and guide the program throuah the three phases of this renewa] . Both the faculty at St. Paul Seminary and at Saint John Vianney recognize tnat _ the nature of the under graduate instituticr, reou;res a d�gr•ee o� inde;�endence in programs wnile at the same time cooperating in the overall goals of seminary renewal . In seeking to meet its r�quireTents, Saint Jchn Vianney wi71 coo�erate • with both St. Thomas and the St. Paul Semin�ry as ali thre� institutions ��rork together to prepare ,`cr their respective long-range futures. Consultation The S�int John Vianney Board or Direc�ors authorized the budaeting and cond�ct ' of a pr�`essional feasibility study in order that individuai and 4vide-rang�ng consulta*icn migh� �ake place anong �he lai�y, in addition �o members of the P.rchdiocesan clergy. Over 200 individuais in the Archdiocese as well as many Bishops and leaders in other dioceszs participated. The majority of personal interviewe�s and pot�ntial large donors believe that the seminary is a welcone need and feel positively abo�t the proposed Seminary Appeal . They also indicate strong support for building construction on the College of St. Thomas Campus and recom�nend that the Appeal should begin as soon as an organization can be built. Tnese basic findings were further en- dorsed at an open meeting of priests which firchbishop Roach conducted. The priests were especially emphatic in voicing support ror the continuation of the Saint John Vianney college progr�m. _ ;: _ ' • . Page Six 4JHAi MUST BE DO�JE � Only one realistic solut�on to the Saint Jonn Vianney Housing need exists : Initiate fund raising on behalf of the szminary throughout the Archdiocese and other dioceses to which the seminary reiates. After careful study of the problems and needs, the seminary has embarked on a well-conceived and intensive �2,500,000 capital appeal planned with `oresight and flexibility. Confident of its present maturity as a formation center, but cognizant of the � restrictions imposed by its limited physical and economical resources, Sairit John Vianney Seminary now seeks help as it prepares for the challenge�s of the next decades �nd the 21 century. • . What does Saint John Vianney need? , What the Seminary needs is not just capital gifts. What it really needs in order to sec�re its future work is for every. person to become acquainted with Saint John Vianney Seminary. Then, aft�r seriously considering its contribution to the Church, to ask the question, "Is the priestly formation program which afrects my church and my life, worth supporting? Is it worth working for?" The first 13 years of endeavor as a pries�ly rorTaticn house �or colleo2 level seminarians has proven its program and made Saint John Vianney a model for other college seminaries throughout North Anerica. This persuades us to answer in �ne arfirmative. An af�irmative answer is pivotal in preserv�ng not only our presence, imp�ct, and regional strength but in endorsing the future of priesi- . hooc� vocations `or the Archdiocese. We have presented the cas2 in terms o` the vital lace the colleee s2mirary formation program has in the life of the Churcn as iL cznters on the priesthood, The other part of the picture has to do with the monies need2d, the reasons for thes2 needs, and the manner in which the nonies gathered througn this App��l wili be utilized. fis you conclude reading this statement for Saint John Vianney SEninary, tnink about the mary contributions the priesthood has made to your own life and that of your loved ones. Can you possibly imagine how many famiiies in the �rch- diocese of St. Paul/;�inneapolis have be�n touched because a son pre�ared for the pries�hood? Consider how many people oT God, scattered throughout the Mid- Wes� as well as in our own Archdioces2 have be�n enriched by weil -educated priests sensitive to �heir needs. ihus far 133 priests have studied at Saint John Vianney and been ordained to the priesthood. Forty-nine alone nave been rrom the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis. - Each of us has been blessed by the products of our seminar;es, for there our priests are trained! .

JOHN VIANNEY SEMINARY BRIEF HISTORY After three years at Loras and Cretin residences on the St. Paul Seminary Campus , a ten-year Letter of Intent was signed by St. John Vianney and St. Thomas College for the use of Brady Hall . It has not been renewed because of the shortage of student housing and the mutual determination to use the available space efficiently. In seeking a permanent home, . � St. John Vianney is not proposing an expansion. The actual spatial need to acco�rnodate the St. John Vianney program with an optimum number of � 120 students is 43 ,000 square feet as opposed to the present 65,000 square feet. Cost of this project will be 52.5 million.

All of the academic program is provided by St. Thomas College. Participation in col.lege campus activities is also encouraged. SEMINARY LOCATION AT St. 7HOMAS � � Its affiliation with St. Thomas College affords the seminarians an � excellent educational opportunity and fulfills the philosophy, theology � and language requirements of priestly preparation. The academic achieve- ment in this environment has been outstanding. TF►e contact and interaction with other St. Thomas College students, pius pa�rticipation in on-campus activities gives the seminary students a rounded and varied experience invaluable in later ministerial service. The location at St. Thomas is supported by St. John Yianney/St. Thomas College/St. Paul Seminary staffs because of the program value. It contributes to the Catholic character of the college and enables a facility designed to meet specific seminary needs: SEMINARY EXPENSES --St. John Yianney is cost efficient to run (�b,450.OJ per capita as compared with S14,000 at a typical self contained seminary)� --�50,000 to St. Thomas for debt retirement � • --580,000 to St. Thomas for operating costs . --The new facility will eliminate debt retirement expenses and reduce operating costs because the build�ng will be 2/3 the size of Brady Hall and more energy efficient. ADVAtJTAGES OF THIS APPROACH --Fixed costs charged directly to diocese or student --Reduced operating costs --Building designed to house partially St. Thomas College students if it should be too large - ' --Building available for• use and purchase by the College �f St. Thomas if seminary should no longer be viable --Use for summer programs - reducing seminary costs . SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR ST. JOHN VIANNEY --Special gifts (from donors who make large contributions to educational or similar institutions) --Foundations --Support from Dioceses sending students to St. John Vianney --An educational p.hase in the Archdiocesan parishes with a po..sible special gifts and/or a "second" collection. - Fn � �� - , ► ,. Page Three A BROAOER PROGRAM OF SEMINARY RENEWAL The resolution of the Saint John Vianney residency question must be seen as Phase I of a program of total seminary renewal which encompasses also the nearby St. Paul Graduate Seminary. The St. Paul Seminary is presently addressing its long range future, a task which will require additional time. The St. Paul Seminary is examining its future in conjunction with St. Thomas College--in order that cooperative quality prograrns can be offered with maximum cost efficiency. At the present time, both the faculty at St, Paul Seminary and at Saint John Vianney recognize the value of independent , separate and distinct programs. In seeking to meet its requirements , Saint John Vianney will c�operate with both St. � Thomas and the St. Paul Seminary as all three institutions work together � to prepare for their respective long range futures . CONSULTATION WITH SEMINARY LEADERSHIP AND CQNSTITUENTS Tfie St. John Vianney Board of Directors authorized the budgeting and _ conduct of a professional feasibility study for wide-ranging consul- tation with laity and clergy. Over twa-hundred individuals parti- ci pated. The majority of personal interviewees and potential large donors believe that the seminary need is serious and feel positively about the proposed Seminary Appeal . They also indicate strong support for building con- struc�ion on the College of St. Tho�as Campus and recommend that the Appeal shoulC proceed according to schedule. These basic findings were further endorsed at an open meeting of priests which Archbishop Roach conducted. The priests were especially em�hatic in voicing support for the continuation of the Saint John Vianney program. - 69 - � �I , COLLEGE OF ST. THOMAS - St.Paul, Minnesoto 55105 July 26, 1982 :�is.

The chart presented at the hearing was inaccurate and incomplete. John Paul II dormitary was omitted com- . pletely and Brady Hall was diminished in size, giving the . impression that the campus is less crowded than it actually is. D. • The slide presentation , rather tban revealing the single- family homes directly across from the site, sbowed only a • corner apartment building , which may h�ave led the Zoning Board to believe that our neighborbood is composed entirely of tall apartment buildings and dormitories. We wish also to bring to your attention an administrative error in tbe July 27 hearing : Appeal procedures alere short-circuited by elimination of the 15-day waiting period normally practiced before denying or granting a variance. We believe that tbis change in established policy was unwarranted , considering the magnitude of this decision and the prior request from the neighbors that tbe waiting period be observed as usual .

John Vianney Seminary ' s requested beight variance for a 5-story dormitory. Ref. zoning file #�9200 Resolution dated July 27, lgg2 Dear Mr . Tedesco: , This letter is a notice that our organization, St . Thomas Neighbors, requests an evening hearing with the St . Paul City Council to provide statements and testimony as to why the height variance should be denied . Tbis appeal is being submitted in accordance � with tbe provisions of 64. 205 (and any revisions) . K'e have enclosed the $75. 00 fee required to file our appeal . Our appeal for denial of the variance is based on both factual and administrative errors. Your attention is called to significant factual errors present in the report presented b the Z staff at the bearing. The followin y oning Board that the g facts contradict t}�e assertion present physical pattern would be preserved if this variance were granted : A. In examining the present physical layout adjacent to the proposed site, it can be seen that a 3-story building would not be an anomaly ; Irisb American 12 ' (one story) Catholic Digest 35' (3 stories) Dowling Hall 40 ' (4 stories) Ireland Hall 50 ' (4 stories) . B. Tbe presentation of data regarding the density issue was also factually incorrect . The proposed dormitory would be 5 stories in heig}at. None of the nearby buildings contains as many stories. The proposed building represents � an increase in density , rather than preservation of the existing ih storical character. � - ♦IOfiMMIM 'i110�Y)NMIM tllOS3NNIW'1f1Ud'1S Sb'WOHl'1S j0 3`J3TIOJ ++ M�not 111NiAt awoa�s ot� IIVH 3�N301S3li.ldb'NIW3S.l�3NMdin NHOf'15 `—' �� •s��w a�• .sin.,.a..a-ioensi;cc __��_.__..._.� � _ ___ __.___ �.�.o.:.�� , , �� , N � � ♦ , _�� • ._ �._. .. �Atl�S ._�_ .._...._'.'_'�l _."'_ I —_-�-•-..__.. . ..__�_�T.�� i I �� L .._. ._."_._. ..____'_'_""_ '_— ___'_- '-___� . .._ . -- �� \ AINODM �� . j ��' I I ��_��__��_�� _��`�`_��_�� __��_��_�__��_�_�� -- . . `Wl Y�ONB l!00 '� � �� .
