Re: Zoning File No. 8610 - Gary Torgerson, Appellant
For City Council Action on May 15, 1980
Dear Madam:
This is written in response to the appeal filed by Robert J. Will , a part
- owner of the property, to a decision by the St. Paul Board of Zoning Appeals ,
denying a variance request to subdivide a zoning lot to create a building site
suitable for single family development. The property is located on the south
side of Bush Street between Ruth and Pec}erson and described as Lots 12 and 13,
Block 4, Watts Park.
On April 8, 1980, the Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing to consider
granting a 1 foot variance to the appellant, Gary Torgerson, for the existing
single family dwelling situated at 2032 Bush (Lot 12) so that the vacant lot of
record (Lot 13) could be sold for single family development. Staff recommenda-
tion was for approval . Four residents of the area spoke their disapproval on
the basis that a single family home would generate problems for the neighborhood
such as higher density, traffic, lowering of property values and potential
undesirable people moving into the area. One letter and a petition with 17
signatures in opposition was received on this matter.
After considering all testimony presented, Mr. Parrish moved for approval with
the provision that off-street parking be provided and that adequate precaution
be taken to prevent drainage onto adjacent properties . Mr. Kirk seconded .
Motion failed on a 2-4 vote. The variance was denied.
This matter is scheduled to be heard by City Council on May 15, 1980, at 10:00 A.M.
in Council Chambers.
Sincerely,
Laurence J. Jung
City Planner

application of the provisions of Section 61 .101 of the Saint Paul
Legislative Code pertaining to side yard setback for a single family
dwelling in an R-4 zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals conducted a public
hearing on April 8, 1980, pursuant to said appeal in accordance with the
requirements of Section 64.203(a) of the Legislative Code; and
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zoniny Appeals based upon evidence
presented at the public hearing, as substantially reflected in the minutes
attached hereto as Exhibit A, made the following findings of fact:
1 . That the placement of the existing dwellir�y precludes the appellant
from meeting the strict provision of the Ordinance. �
2. That granting of relief can be made witliuut substantial detriment to
the public good and without substantially iiupairing the intent and
purpose of the Ordinance.
3. That granting of variance will not impair an adequate suppl,y of light
and air to adjacent property nor unreasonably diminish or impair
established pr�operty values within the neighborhood.

economic gain. -

that under authority of the City's Legislative Code, Chapter 64.206, the
variance to subdivide the parcel to construct a single family dwelling

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS iN
CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, APRIL 8, 1980
PRESENT: Mmes. Morton and Summers; Messrs. Kirk, Parrish, Peterson and Ldoods
of the Board of Zoning Appeals ; Mr. Jerome Segal , Assistant City
Attorney; Ms. Lane of the �ivision of Housing and Buildinq Code
Enforcement; Ms. Beseman and Mr. Jung of the Planning Division Staff.
ABSENT: Messr. Grais.
The meeting was chaired by Gladys Morton , Chairman.
GARY TORGERSON (#8610) : A request for variance of required side yard se�back for
an existing dwelling at 2032 Bush so that the adjacent vacant lot of record may be
sold for single family development.
The appellant was present. There was opposition present at the hearing.
��ir. Jung showeC slides of the site a��d reviewed his sta�f report with a recommend-
ation for approval . One letter and a petition with 17 signatures were received in
opposition.. The main concerns were that it would lower the value of existinc�
property, create crowded conditions for surrounding homes and ��ould create parking �
problems.
Gary Torgerson, appellant, owner of the property at 2032 Bush, presented to the
Board a picture of the proposed house he w�uld build if the variance were granted.
He commented that only 3 of the 17 people who had signed the petition in opposition
had lots larger than 40 feet. Ne felt that with the 2 parking spaees in the back
of the lot there would be plenty of off-street parking.
A resident expressed her concern over the fact that they have had experiences in the
past where people come in and buy a small lot, put up a house and then move out.
T'�e neighborhood is stuck witf� �chese homes on small lots which decrease the va�ue
of their property, cause crowded c.onditions and parking problems. She asked that
the Board consider the petition that was presented in opposition..
Thomas Dear, 2041 Bush, stated that it would cause additional parking problems in the
area.
Bill Goranson, 2024 Bush, commented that the people that have lived at 2032 Bush
have been of no duration and have made no attempt to keep up the property. They
have had to put up a fence to block the view.
Pat Conklin, 899 Johnson Parkway, stated her concern over the additional parkin�
problems which would be created. They have lived there for 16 years and have
trouble backing out of their driveway because of cars being parked on the street..
h1r. Torgerson reported that he is investing about $15,000 in the home a* 2032 Bush
under the City of St. Paul low interest money and has no intention of bringing down
the neighborhood. It is also his intention to build a retaining ��all out of rail-
road ties on the whole section across the back that a?Tows -for the off-street parking.

STAFF IP�VESTIGATION & REPORT: OATE 3/31/80 BY Laurence J. Jung
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. PURPOSE: Applicant requests variance of required side yard setback for his existinq
dwelling at 2032 Bush so that the adjacent vacant lot of record may be sold for
single family development.
B. FRONTAGE AND AREA: This parcel consists of two 40 ft. lots (frontage on Bush is 80 ft. ) ;
the dept of each is 126.61 ft. ; area of each lot is 5,064.4 sq. ft.
C. SITE/AREA CONDITION: This atiove grade parcel contains a single� family dwelling on
the east portion entirely on Lot 12) while the west portion (Lot 13) is vacant.
Both lots are nearly level i.n front but are somewhat hiqher in the rear near the alley.
A single-car garage exists directly behind the owners residence at 2032 Bush with access
to the alley. The west lot line of the vacant lot is fenced and nearby land uses
consist of �single family residences. East Minnehaha , a city arterial , is two blocks
south and Ruth Street, a collector route, is two lots west. �
D. VARIANCE: Section 61 .101 requires 4 ft. side yard set6ack for single family housing
in an R-4 zone. Applicant requests this be waived to allow the residence at 2032 Bush
to be 2.89 ft. from the west lot line so that all of Lot 13 may be purchased for new
single family construction. The variance is for 1 .11 ft.
E. FINDINGS:
1 . Lot 13 is only slightly .larger than minimum requirement� for R-4 construction as
is the situation with most other lots in the area.
2. Applicant wishes to sell Lot 13 for new single family development. By subdividing,
along platted lot line, the residence on Lot 12 would be about 3' from the west lot 1in�
3. Applicant has submitted a site plan to show location of a new house on Lot 13.
The plan shows a house to be 7 feet from this common line.
4. In order to develop Lot 13, under separate ournership, there are two possible ways
this can be accomplished: grant the side yard variance as proposed; or, create a
nerv lot 38 feet wide but still contain sufficient lot area (by using half the
width of the alley) . Either arrangement requires a variance.
5. As proposed, the variance may be granted due to this placement of the existing
structure which precludes applicant from meeting the strict provisions af the
Ordinance. Hardship is not self-created. '
6. The granting of relief can be made without substantial detriment to the public
good and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of th� Ordinance.
7. Granting the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property nor unreasonably diminish or impair established property values
within the surrounding area.
8. The variance may be granted since. it is not based primarily on the desire to
increase the value potential of the parcel of land. Use of the property for
single family development within limiiations of the Zonino Ordir�ance is w�t�ir�
the intent of District 2 and the cor�munity to encourage owner-occupied housing _
within the corporate limits of the City of St. Paul . �
r.. STAFF RECOMME�JDATIONS: Based on required findings 5 through 8 above, staff recommends
approval of the variance request. ,
