INEZ ASPELUND (#8774) : Administrative Review of the decision of the Zoning Admtnistrator to deny an application for Legal Nonconforming Use Status for a building located at ' • 615 Case. Mr. Torstenson qave a brief review of the case, including previous testimony. He stated that since the case first came before the Building Department, there has been a text change in the Zoning Ordinance which removed the requirement to find undue hardship on the property owner in order to grant legal nonconformirrg use status , ' and that the staff recommendation for denial is based on findings 10 and lI of the staff report. He reported that he had talked to Bill McCausland of the Health Department, who explained that their concern with the stoves in the sleeping rooms was based on their experience with such situations : that there often was inadequate cupboard and counter• space, no sink, and a resultant increase in fire danger and sanitation problems. He also stated that a letter was received from the South of Cdse Project Review Board in support of the appeal . Alice Bijjani , from the Buidling Department, reported that there is no clear and convincing evidence that from 1956 to 1976 the structure had 12 dv�elling units . The Building Qepart.tmen� cannot approve for more than 4 units as built. Ms. Lane clarified _that Sam Blue, from the Building Department, gave testimony to that effect on December 23, 1980. Mr. Torstenson explained that if legal nonconforming status were granted for 8 apartment units, variances would still be required from the Building Department because the building would be nonconforming. Mike Palmquist, staff person for the South of Case Project Review Board which is a separate group from the District 5 Community Council , spoke in support of th� appeal . Ms. Sijjani stated that the Assessor's field card lists the building as : 1914, flat building remodeled in 1913; 1940, 4 units ; 1947 flat building, 11 light housekeeping apartments , 4 up and 7 down, and one 5-room apartment. F1r. Grais made a motion to grant the appeal finding that the Zoning Administrator erred in his decision to deny legal nonconforming status based on the evidence presented. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Petersqn made a motion to deny the appeal based on findings 10 and 11 of the staff report. Ms. Summers seconded the motion.

The meeting was chaired by Gladys Piorton, Chairman. INEZ ASPELUND (#8774) : Administrative Review of the decision of the Zoning Administrator to deny an application for Legal ?�onconforrninc� Use Status for a building located at 615 Case. The appellant was present. There was no opposition present at the hearing. This matter ��as laid over from the meeting of December 9, 1980, requesting . information from the Building Code Division as to vlhy the application was denied. Sam Blue, Building Code Division, explained that the reason for denial t,ras the lack of clear and convincing evidence to support the request for 12 apartment units. The Assessor's records indicated that in 1947 the building was occupied as 11 house keeping units , 4 baths and an owner unit, but since 1947 they have not found a continuous use. The Buildina Code Divis�on felt that the structure evolved over the years and drifted around between the number of occupants and the way the premises was used, and without something of more substance, they had to deny the request. After looking over the 2 affidavids presented by the appellant, f�1r. Qlue indicated they would not change their decision. Ne also mentioned that after talking to some of the tenants , .there had been a flexible use of the property over the years . � Patrick Burns , representing the appellant, asked that the record reflect the presence of the owners of the building and a tenant, Angie l�lilliamson, in support of the application. Marie t�lasonz, 887 E. Rose, testified that she had lived in the building from 1952 until 1974. At that time, one-half of the lst floor had 3 sleeping r�oms, a community kitchen and bath, and on the other side, there r�rere 3 house keeping units , 1 sleeping room and 1 community bath. The 2nd floor consisted of 4 house keeping rooms , 1 community bath on one side, and the other side was an : apartment. At the time she moved in Mr. Anderson aias the owner of the building. P1r. Peterson asked Ms. t�9asonz to define the differer�ce between a house keeping room and a sleeping room? P4s. hlasonz replied that the house keepinh rooms had their o�m kitchens and the sleeping rooms just had a sleeping room and used the comr:�unity kitchen. f�1r. 13urns stated that the appellant has denonstrated that deconversion 4iould cause a t�ardship on the owners of the building and the tenants , and that the use has been in existence 2U years prior to the effective of the Ordinance. .. _ . _ _ _ ___._. � . , _ __...� ___...._,._ _ A..... -- _. __ .. __ .___-- - ____ _,. ._.... ._ .�..,,�,,._ _, m,_� 4 ' . , -� i� "/Jr� , . �Z ASPELUN[� #8774) Less Craig, 411 6th Street, P�ewport, owner of the building in question, explained that they have put money into upgradinc� the builcJing, keeping it in compliance with the code, and any profit they make on it goes into the equity. He indicated that the property was purchased with the intention of using the equity for income when they retire. P1r. Segal stated that according to the testimony presented from Ms. Masonz, there were 7 house keeping rooms with kitchens , 4 sleeping rooms without kitchens , and 1 apartment. Under the definition of dwelling unit in the Zoning Code, the 4 sleeping roor�s �iould not constitute a dweiling unit. He also commented that the City Council ar�ended the Ordinance to delete the finding of hardship. f�ir. Burns emphasized the fact that all of the direct evidence points towards the fact that the use has existed continuously for �0 years prior to the effective date of the Ordinance and requested that the Board find that the Zoning Adr�inistr•ator did err in his decision to deny legal nonconforming use status. Hearing no furtP�er testimony, P�s . Morton closed �he public hearing portion of the meeting. h1r. Grais made a motion that the Zoning Administrator erred in his decision to de��y an application for legal nonconforming use status for the building at 615 Case, and that the Board of Zoning Appeals finds that the use was established for 20 years prior to the effective date of the Ordinance. The motion failed for a lack of a second. t�lr. Peterson made a motion that the Zoning Administrator did not err in refusing to grant legal nonconforming status for 615 Case based on findings 1 through 13 of the staff report. h1r. lJoods seconded the motion. The motion failed for lack of 4 affirmative votes on a rol ] call vote of 3 to 1 with t�tr. Grais .votina against the motion. I�ir.

INEZ ASPELUPJD (#8774} : Administrative Review of the decision of the Zoning Administrator to deny an application for Legal P�onconformin� Use status for a building located at 615 Case. The appellant was present. There �vas no opposition present at the hearing. Mr. ?orstenson showed slides of the site and reviewed his staff report with a recommendation that the Zoning Administrator did not err in refusing to grant Legal Nonconforming Status . Patrick Burns , student attorney for Legal Aid of Ramsey County representing the appellant, stated that the owners of the building, Leslie and Sharon Craig, and a tenant, Angie Willia�T�son, were present and in support of the appeal . He presented a memo to the Board responding to the original staff report; they had not seen the revised staff report until just before the hearing. He also presented two affidavits , from a former owner and a former tenant, stating that the use was in existence prior to 1956. Ne sai�l the affidavits estabiish b,v clear and convincing evidence that the use had been in existence for 20 years prior to the effective date of tl�e Ordinance. Mr. Burns then stated that a hardship �vould occur to both the owners and the tenants if legal nonconforming status was not granted. Converting the building to a 4-plex �,►ould be the result of a tremendous cost and �vould also cut down on the amount of income available. As to the tenants, l� people would be evicted f1°om where they live. They would be hurt emotionally and psychologically frorn the trauma of having to be uprooted from where they have made their homes and separate from the people they have formed cor.�munity ties with in the building. He commented that the staff report indicated that new, inexpensive housing could be found for these people. By this he assumed that staff ineant public housing. Currently these people are living in private housing and making it on their own. He did not feel that they should be forced to go out and find public housing. He indicated that when something like this is undertaken, it should be given careful consideration and people of responsibility should determine just H�hat the consequences of their actions would be. He presented a petition from various tenants stating that they like living there, they have developed a feeling of community, a feeling of family in that building and would like to remain there. Ne then addressed the issue of overcrowding. In terms of the nurnber of people in the building, if it were converted to a 4-plex, they could have a family of 4 in each unit and possibly have 16 people living there; currently there are 14 people residing there. In terms of parking, there are currently 2 parking spaces in the rear of the property; the garage �vould be torn down making available at least 2 more parking spaces. He conxnented that the staff report was incorrect in stating that there are only two siiared batiirooms; there are three shared bathrooms in the building. He also mentioned that the Health Board violations are being worked on and would be dealt with as they come up. 4 � _ __-- _. __ _. �.. _ _ .__. . _ . . . _ . .„ .. ..__.. _ ._ �__._ __.___- __._ ._.._ < �, .t.:..: _ _.., , �,.

Burns responded that he could not explain the Polk Directory data. He said that this was the first time that he was aware that the reason for denial was because they were unable to show that it was a continuous use for 25 years. He referred to A1ice Bijjani 's letter dated October 10, 1980 which stated no reason for denial . There was discussion concerning stoves in the bedrooms of some of the apartments and conversion of the building without a permit. Hearing no further testimony, Ms. Morton closed the� public hearing portion of the meeting. Ms. Lane reported that she was not sure what tne intention was in denying the legal nonconforming status. She also added that when applications are reviewed, approval or denial is based on any inforn�ation that is available to their department and that the Polk Directory is definitely questionable as to its accuracy. Mr. Segal stated that the letter sent out from the Building Code Division gives no reason for denial and that it would be difficult for the 6oard to determine whether the Zoning Administrator erred unless they know the reason for denial of the application. �1r. Peterson made a motion to lay the matter over until December 23, 1980 in order to allow time to find out why the Building Code Division denied the application. Mr. Grais seconded the motion. The motion passed on a unanimous voice vote. Ms. t�lorton stated that the meeting on December 23 would be open for further testimony.

On January 27, 1981 , based on required findings that the present use of the building was not established, converted, or enlarged pursuant to building permits issued by the City of St. Paul (it was built as a 4-plex and converted illegally) and that it could not be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the use of the building as 8 apartments and 4 sleeping rooms had been in existence continuously for twenty years prior to the effective date of the Zoning Ordinance (it appeared to have had flexible use as a rooming house, light housekeeping units and apartments, but never 8 apartments; even now it does not contain 8 apartments, but has one apartment and 7 sleeping rooms with stoves) , the Board of Zoning Appeals denied the appeal of Inez Aspelund on a roll call vote of 5 to 2. In April 1980, inspections by the Division of Housing and Buildinq Code Enforcement and the Division of Public Health turned up a number of violations at 615 Case. The Health Department was particularl� concerned with the presence of stoves in some of the sleeping rooms because of their experience with such situations : that there often is inadequate cupboard and counter space (with things getting set on stoves) , no sink for cleaning dishes, and a resultant increase in fire danger and sanitation problems . The owner of the property could obtain a license for a Rooming House if the stoves were removed from the sleeping rooms , safe and sanitary kitchen facilities were provided in shared kitchens, and other violations corrected to brina the structure up to code. The buildinq could get leal nonconforming status as a rooming house. a�0 �� . April 6, 1981 Page 2 The property could also get legal nonconforming status as a 4-plex, since that is how it was built. Again, the reconversion to a 4-plex would provide for safe and sanitary units. In July 1980 the owners of the building agreed to a phased schedule for reconversion to a 4-plex to be completed b,y January l , 1985. Since one of the tenants in the building, Inez Aspelund, has appealed for legal nonconforming status as 8 apartments and 4 sleeping rooms, the reconversion was never begun. This matter is scheduled for hearing before the City Council on April 9, 1981 . Alice Bijjani and Sam Blue from the Division of Housing and Building Code Enforcement, Bill McCausland from the Division of Public Health, and I will be at the hearing to answer any questions.

LEGAL D�SCRIPTION: Lot 25, Block 16, Arlington Hills Addition. 5. PRESENT ZONING: RM-2 ZONING CODE REFEREP�CE: Sections 62.102(a) & 64.205(a) 6. STAFF INVESTIGATION & REPORT: DATE 12/2/80 BY Allan L. Torstensnn A. PURPOSE: Administrative Review of the decision of the Zoning Administrator to deny an application for Legal Nonconforming Use status for a building containing 1 full apart- ment, 4 sleeping rooms sharing l bath and 1 kitchen, and 7 apartments with kitchens sharing 1 bath, on a 5,000 sq. ft. lot in an RM-2 zoning district. B. FRONTAGE & AREA: This interior lot has a 40 foot frontage on Case and a depth of 125 ft. , for an area of 5,000 square feet. C. SITE/AREA CONDITIONS: The site contains a large old residential structure in an area of mixed residential land use. Just east of the site is the Payne Avenue comnercial strip. . D. ADMIP�ISTRATIVE REVIEW: Section 64.205(a) of the St. Paul Zoning Ordinance gives the Board of Zoning Appeals the power of Administrative Review: To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged by the appellant that there is an'terror in any order, requirement, permit, decision, or refusal made by the Zoning Administrator and any other administrative official in carrying out or enforcing any provisions of this Ordinance. Section 62.102(a) states that "a use will be presumed legally nonconforming if it can be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, the use was established, converted, or enlarged pursuant to building permits issued by the City of St. Paul ; or if it can be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the particular use had been in existence continuously for twenty years prior to the effective date of this Ordinance. The burden of proof shall be on the applicant for a permit or certificate of occupancy as the case may be." E. FINDINGS: l . Building Department records show the building to have been built in 1888. It was assessed as a 4-plex with 4 baths between 1910 and 1919. The site was zoned "B" Residence in 1922, which allowed for single family and duplex residential , and under which the structure became a legal nonconforming 4-plex. 2. The conversion of the building from a 4-plex to what it is now was done without permits. The owner of the building has presented evidence to the Building Department showing that the conversions took place before 1956. 3. In 1975 the site was rezoned RP1-2 Medium Density Multiple Family Residential . Because of th� lot size, however, the only conforming use for the property would be a single family home. 4. The application for a Determination of Legal Nonconforming Use status for the building was denied because the 7 apartments sharing one bath, although defined as apartments because they have cooking facilities , would need a variance from the Housing Code because of fihe shared bath. ' INEZ "ASPELUND (#87174) ' STAFF REPORT Page 2 E. FINDINGS CONT'D. 5. The owners of the building have agreed to reconvert the building to a 4-plex (see 7/9/80 letter from Leslie W. and Sharon B. Craig) . They have set up, with the Building Department, a phased schedule for the reconversion to be completed by January l , 1985 (see 10/10/�0 letter from Alice Bijjani ) . 6. The Building Department has found that to change the permanent status of the building by granting Legal Nonconforming Use status for 8 apartments and 4 sleeping rooms is not an appropriate solution to the short term problem of relocating existing tenants : that it is better to grant a temporary waiver of requirements until January 1 , 1985. Although the Building Department considers the existing reconversion schedule reasonable, the BZA has the option of extending it. 7. The Housing Information Office has informed us that they can find reasonably priced housing for the current tenants , and that they have already found new housing for the tenants that will be relocated for the first phase of the reconversion. The applicant will be eligible for senior highrises by the reconversion completion date in 1985, a date the Housing Information Office also considers reasonable. 8. RM-2 density standards for 5,000 square feet would mean two, 2-bedroom apartments or four efficiency or 1-bedroom apartments. By all Zoning Ordinance standards, the property is overcrowded. 9. Granting the requested Legal Nonconforming Use status would tend to exacerbate the parking problem in the neighborhood for years to come. 4:�.,Wy;� .-... _....,...,....�....___ _ ._ __ ____ _ 10. The present use of the building was not established , converted , or enlarged pursuant ta building permits issued by the City of St. Paul 11 . It appears that it can not be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the use for which t�ie applicant seeks Legal Nonconforming Status has been in existence continuously for twenty years prior to the effective date of the ordinance. A sampling of Polk Directories shows the following for 615 Case: 1955 - 3 Units 1962 - 9 Units 1961 - 7 Units 1964 - 11 Units 12. The Division of Public Health has inspected the buildinc� and compiled a long list of conditions needing attention. A problem they emphasized was the presence of stoves in many of the sleeping rooms; the stoves would have to be removed before the Division of Public Health would approve an application for a Rooming House License. The reason the applicant is requesting Legal Nonconforming Status for 8 apartment units is because the Zoning Ordinance uses cooking facilities to define "dwelling unit;" if the stoves are removed as requested by the Health Department, the 7 sleeping rooms with stoves would no longer meet this definition. The eventual reconversion of the building to a 4-plex would solve these problems as well as the problem of the shared bothroom facilities noted by the Building Department. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on findings 10 and 11 above, staff finds that the Zoning Administrator did not err in refusing to grant Legal Nonconforming Status for a building containing 1 full apartment, 4 sleeping rooms sharing 1 bath and 1 kitchen, and 7 apartments with kitchens sharing 1 bath at 615 Case. 1 STATE OF r1INNESOTl1 CITY OI' SAINT PAUL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS --------------------------------- In the Matter of the Application of In�z Aspelund,, regarding 615 Case. This matter is before the board to review a finding that the apartments at G15 Case have to be converted into four (4) apartments. The building has been as it is since before the Korean 6Jar, possiUly longer, and now Ilouses, withot.it any problem, fourteen (14) people. These people have lived at 615 Case for up to fourteen (14) years. If the board adopts the staff position they will all have to go. Tiie proulem rose only recently �alien the p.resent owncrs applied for a certificate of occupancy, not knowing that by doing so, the City would be qalvar.ized into the task of " improving" the neighborllood by eliminating its long time residents and facilities. The residents of 615 Case are a mix of basical.ly lo�•�-income people ; low income people who arc_ struc�gling to make ends meet but who are proud to support themselves to th� best of their abili_ties. This is the gist of Ms. Aspelund' s Petition. Ther_e is no nced here £or the City to get involvecl. Ther_e is no need to drive these people out into publicly subsidized housinq �ti�hen they r.an provide for themsel.ves c.lean, healthy hous�.nc� and can obtain it at a price they caii af_for.d. This i s not �� case o f o�_���ressecl ai�d ab�asc�d tenants seelci.nef reli.ef �r-ori� �l profi_tee.r�_nc� ].andlord. Rather, this is a case of qovcrnmcnt r.cyulation gonc overboar.d � carryinq with it the chosen home of Fourtcen (1_4) famiiies. `�'lle buildinc7 at 6]_5 Case consi.sts of twelve (12) units a�.Loc�ether; one full apartment with both kitchen �nd bathroom; four (4) uni.ts �haring or-ie kitc}��n , seven (7) units having thr��.r own cooking facil�ties; and eleven (11) units sliar_ing three bathrooms {not two (?.) as indicateci by the st�ff. report) . M11s. Aspelund, in order to pr_evail in f.ront of tllis board, must show that the zoning administrator er_red in makincr the decision . . to deny the application for legal not�-con£orming use status. An error was clearly made. St. Paul Zoning Ordinance 62. 102 (a) , as reprinted in the staff report, plainly sets forth two (2) alternative conditions either of which must exist before a use will be presumed legally non-conforminc�. It is clear from the f.acts on the record that the latter alternati.ve is met here; that ' the use has been in existence contiriuously for twenty (20) years prior to the effective date of the ordinance (1976) and that reconversion would wor_k an undue lz�:rdship. That the use has been in existenc�� continuously si_nce before 1956 is clear from the 1lffidavits submitted. This much is conceded in the staff report_ It is also apparent that a reconversion of the hulding to a conforriing use (in this case a four-plex) would work a hardship on both the owner and the tenants. On a purely �coizomic basis the owners, rlr. and Mrs. Craiq, will suff_er a loss of income from the buildinc� as caell as incurring significant costs for the conversion. Presently the - building Produces $1, 400. 00 per month incorne bef-ore etipenses. [�lere the building converted to a four-plex wit}� each apartment renting for $250. 00-$300. 00 per month, the monthly income would drop to $1, 000. to $2 , 000 a si_qnifi_cant r.eduction. I?ur_thcr, the conversion itself would cost From $$ , 000. to $10, 000. dollar_s (not including tempora.ry loss of income during construction) or approximately ten (10) months rent frorl thc building. This does not take into account the noneconomic hardst�ips which would be faced by both the tenants zncl the owner. Currently in the Twin Cities there is a shor_taqe of private apartment units and in this seller' s market inexpensive, clean housiny is hard to find. Just as difficult to f_ind would bc housing which is as conveniently located. The bui.lding is less than a block away from a business district and a major bus line. Many of the ten�ir�ts in the buildinq ar_e lonc7 time residents, almost half having livecl there more than th .ree {3) years and two (2j having lived there more then ten (10) years. It would be unconscionable to r.equire thc Craic�s to force these tenants ta - 2 - . • • tear up their roots and leave -th�ir established ho me because of a condition which does no harm and which has existed without problems for more than thirty (30j years. �s can be readily seen fr_om the above 615 case is � precisely tlie situation zoning ordinancc 62. 102 (a) was designed to meet. 11 situation whcr_e tf�e t�se has withstood the test of time aild in ��Ilich reconvel-sion would work an injustice. The zoning administr.ator; faced with the facts which exist in thi.s case, was requirecl 1�y ordinance to rant the a 9 pplication for_ legal nonconforminc; use status and, having failed to do so , .�clearly erred. Accordin 1 9 Y, it is respectfully requested that the Board of Appeals reverse the decision of the administrator and grant the application for legal nonconforming statt�s.

Partly as a result of cur inouiries into t�e progress of that application, the decision of the Board of �Zoning Appeals was delayed until your January 27th hearing. � Shortly after your January 13th hearings, the Project Review Board convened a fact-finding committee to investigate the building at 615 Case. Our committee members spoke with the owners and the tenants of the building. We also were given a tour of the buildinc�. It is our understanding that the requirement for the granting of iegal non-conforming use status is the proof of continuous use of the building as it is currently used since 1956. The tenants assure us that the bui.ldinq has been used as a 12 unit dwelling since well before 1956. They point to an affidavit signed by P1arie Masonz, a tenant in the building from September 1, 1952 to September 15, 1974, which states that the buildino was used contin- uously as a 12 unit dwelling and to tax records dating back to tMe 1940's as evidence that the conditions exist for c�rantinn legal non-conforming use status. The Project Review Board supports the tenants request that legal non- conforming use status be granted by ,your Board. 4Je found the buildinq to be clean, the tenants satisfied with their living arrangements , and the owner � res�onsive and reasonable man �vho is apparently well thoueht of by his tenants. UJe have received no complaints from neighbors regarding the occupants of the building. It is our hope that you will see fit to c�rant the request for legal non-conforming use for the bu�lding at 615 Case.
