Re: Zoning File #8871 - Robert Hoffman & David Curry
City Council Hearing: August 20, 1981
Dear Sir:
This letter is written in response to the petition of Robert Hoffman and
David Curry to rezone property at 744 Ashland (Southwest corner of Ashland
and Grotto) from RT-1 (one and two family residential ) to RM-3 (high-rise,
multi-family residential ) to allow conversion of the former Beth Israel
Synagogue to 18 condominiums.
On May 21 , 1981 , the Zoning Corrnnnittee conducted a public hearing on the case,
at which time the app1icant indicated that an RM-2 zonjng would be acceptable.
One letter was received in support of the rezoning. Testimony at the hearing
included a neighbor at 770 Holly concerned about the density of the project,
and a representative of the United Way, which owns the Performing Arts Center
across the alley, who wanted the case laid over to allow him to market the
Performing Arts Center units. On a vote of 4-0, the Zoning Committee voted
to lay the case over to allow the Board of Zoning Appeals to act on the
variance.
On June 23, 1981 , the Board of Zoning Appeals voted 5-0 to approve the density
variance.
On July 9, 1981 , the Zoning Committee reconsidered the rezoning request and
recommended denial of the RM-3 rezoning but approval of the rezoning to RM-2.
The Planning Commission considered the Zoning Committee's recommendation on
July 10, 1981 , and voted 17-0 to approve the rezoning to RM-2.
The matter of the requested rezoning is scheduled to be heard by City Council
on August 20, 1981 . Please notify me by August 19 if any member of the City
Council wishes to have slides of the site presented at the City Council public
hearing.
Sincerely,

6. STAFF INVESTIGATION & REPORT: DATE 5/12/81 BY Donna M. Daykin
A. PURPOSE Rezone to RM-3 to allow conversion of the former Beth Israel Synagogue to
18 condominium units.
B. SUFFICIENCY: The rezoning petition was declared sufficient by the Finance Department
on April 8, 1981 . Seventeen parcels were eligible to sign the petition; 12 were
needed; and 12 were obtained.
C. FRONTAGE & AREA: The parcel has a frontage of 80' on Ashland and a depth of 116.22'
for an area of 9,298 square feet.
D. SITE & AREA CONDITIONS: The parcel is occupied by the fonrr�r 8eth Israel Synagogue,
a large brick structure which covers almost the entire parce3. Surrounding land
uses include 1 and 2 family residential uses, playground space just north of
Webster School , and various institutional uses, including alebster Elementary School
across Grotto, Unity Church on the southeast corner of Grott� and Holly, and the
Performing Arts Center, which is scheduled to be converted to 18 housing. units ,
south of the site across the alley. _ :
E. FINDINGS:
1 . The applicant is applying for a rezoning to RM-3 based on the advice that RM-3
was necessary due to the density of the proposed conversion. However, multi-
. family structures of 5 stories or less must conform to the RM-2 Schedule of
Regulations. Therefore, rezoning to RM-3 would not resolve the need for a density .
variance.
2. The proposed conversion of the vacant �eth Israel S,yna4ogue would create
eighteen, 1- , 2- , and 3-bedroom condominium units with a projected selling price
of approximately $80,000 per unit. The developer has applied for funding under
the M�Knight Housing Fund.
3. The Land Use element of the City's Comprehensive Plan encourages adaptive reuse
of vacant institutional uses if criteria related to parking, open space, and
density are met.
4. The applicant states that 18 underground parking spaces will be provided, which-
: is a 1 :1 ratio �of parking spaces to units. New corrstr►�ction of multi-family
� buildings requires 12 spaces per unit. The District 8 P7an recommends reducing
the off-street parking requirement in District $ to one space per unit.
5. There is playground space and open space located north of Webster School , just
east of the site.
6. A density analysis of the area around the Synagogue and Performing Arts Center
determined that, while the density of the immediate area would increase_
considerably if each of these structures were converted to 18 housinv units , the
� density of the 3 block area bounded by Avon, Grotto, Laurel , and Portland would be
almost identical to the density of comparable blocks in �lerriam Park, bounded by
Fairview, Portland, Wheeler, and Hague.
7. Based on the above 3 findings , the proposal meets th� criteria established in
the Land Use Plan for adaptive reuse of institutional structures.
8. New construction at RM-3 density would be too dense far this parcel .

ROBERT HQFfMAN & DAVID CURRY (#8871 ) : Rezone from RT-1 to RM-3 to allow conversion
of the former Beth Israel Synagogue at 744 Ashland to 18 condominium units.
The applicant was present. There was opposition present at the hearing.
Ms. Daykin showed slides of the site and reviewed her staff report with a
recommendation for denial of the rezoning to RM-3 based on findings 1 and 8,
and based on findings 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9, staff recommends approval of the rezoning

correspondence received in opposition.
Ms. Lane called to attention a correction to the staff findings noting
finding #2 should read: "The proposed� conversion of the vacant Beth Israel Synagogue
would create . . ." , rather than "The proposed conversion of the vacant Performing
Arts Center would create . . ." . �
;
Robert� A. �loffman, 3401 G�rard Avenue N. , Minneapolis, representing David Curry and
himself who are co-owners of the Beth Israel Synagogue, stated that the building was
originally built in approximately 1900, and has been vacant for approximately 10
years. He feels that their proposal would be a positive addition to the neighborhood
and would be providing 18 family units with no parking problem because underground .
parking will be provided. He said that he and Mr. Curry are in favor of the staff's
recommendations.
Larry Mazzitello, 770 Holly, expressed his concerns about density in the neighborhood.
He pointed out there is presently a parking problem and the Performing Arts Center
will have the ability to meet the 12 number of parking spaces per unit. He
. continued to say that this project, with the proposed construction of an underground
parking facility, won't meet the 12 parking spaces per unit requirement. This has
him very worried. He would like to see the Performing Arts Center marketed
successfully before he can be convinced that this will be a good project for the
neighborhood.
`� . � � ��'7��'7
ROBERT HOFFMAN & DAVID CURRY (#8871 ) Page 2
Ken Mahal , 6100 Green Valley Drive, Bloomington, spoke representing owners of
741 Holly, The United Way. He requested a 30 day delay because the sale of the
Performing Arts Center has not yet been finalized. He and his client feel that
since the Performing Arts Center was first that the rezoning of 744 Ashland
should be delayed until the Performing Arts Center's sale is resolved.
Robert A Hoffman, 3401 Girard Avenue N. , Minneapolis, responded with a comment
that he and Mr. Curry have owned the property, 744 Ashland, for over 2 years, and
have been working on this project since that time. Mr. Hoffman expressed concern
that they are being put in jeopardy, cantingent to the sale of the Performing
Arts Center. He feels that they should not be held responsible for whether their
deal goes through or not. He also explained that the financing is not a problem.
He said that they own the building and that there are no purchase agreements on
the building or any contingents on McKnight funds. He stated that they intend to
get the financing and that they are committed to the project. Mr. Hoffman also
responded to the matter of density, he pointed out that many homes have been moved
out of the area for the park and made a reference to the staff's report on that
issue. '
Hearing no further testimony, Mr. Bryan closed the public hearing portion of the
meeting.
Ms. Surrmers asked if District 8 had taken a position on the rezoning.
Ms. Daykin informed the committee that District 8 did not choose to submit a letter.
She explained that District 8 had voted in March to deny since they didn't know
if it would be used as rental or owner-occupied.
Mr. Pangal expressed his concern as also stated by Mr. Mazzite7lo in reference
to the very limited parking situation. He stated that he would like to see the
matter go first to the Board of Zoning Appeals to see if they would grant the
variance.
Mr. Pangal made a motion recommending the case be laid over until the first meeting
in July to allow the Board of Zoning Appeals to act on variance request. Mr.
. Armstead seconded the motion. �he motion passed on a role call vote of 4 to 0.

RE: Zoning File No. 8871
744 Ashland Ave .
Lots 1 & 2 Block 2, Palace Addition �
Gentlemen:
In response to the su�gested zoning variance I support
any changes effecting a more constructive use of this
building. Currently the building is vacant and has become a
playground for neighborhood children. ^'his use is both
detrimental to the structure and the children. Also, I
expect an eighteen unit condominium will generate more tax
revenue than a vacant building.
The enclosed photographs evince the decay taking place.
The building is bein� demolished brick by brick. The loose
bricks r2ther unfortunately have beconme the toys of
vandals . One bricic unfortunately finding its way through
the back window of my car. The buildin� has become a mess
approaching nuisance and it needs to be cleaned up.
A renovated multi-family dwelling would be an asset to
the community bringing in people who want to live close to
their employement in an established community.
Distilled to its simplest form, I supp_ort conversion to
a multi-famiTy unit. I am, however, concerned with �wo
minor points; first provisions for parking the approximately _
twenty-five cars that come with conversion: Secondly, -
should tYie variance be granted, when will the conversion
begin. I want the mess of loose bricks and debris cleaned
up promptly.
