PROPERTY � APPELLAVT 42-78-H � 77 No. Milton Patrick Coughlin (25 units) , SUBJECT: ' eq�uest waiver of St . Paul Legislative Code provisions pertaining ta basement occupancy and stairwell enclosures , because of economic and _ esthetic considerations . Previous Hearing 5/9/78 : Case was continued until such time as Certificate of Occupancy inspection report is made available . APPEARA:�ICE : Patrick Coughlin, and James Coughlin • -4- 11/14/78 - Meeting �o. 145 . PROCEEDINGS: Patrick Coughlin said he needed a variance to permit occupancy of the base- ment unit, which was more than S0� beloi�� grade . There had been tt.o problems when the basement unit was first inspected, but both had been corrected and the apartment was occupied. The other reason he �+�as appealing was for a waiver of the stairwell enclosure reauirement: He explained that the three- story building had a long hallway on each floor, taith a front an d back stairway, each of which had a half-story landing. The code rec�uirement �aould mean the purchase of 18 new doors , a: considerable expense , and replace- ment of attractive existing doors which were more in keeping with the style of the original structure . Alice Bijjani stated that if present doors were �-inch thick, they could be retaine d with the addition of automatic closures . If the doors we re not as thick as required, sheet metal could be applied on the stairside of each door, which would be in compliance with the safety code . Chairman Wozniak suggested that a city inspector Iook at the doors in questio� and if they came reasonably close to the thickness requirement , they should be approved. He agreed with Mr. Coughlin that �sthetics were importan t . � Mr. Tieso remarked that, as Mr. Coughlin had indicated the building was� to be completely rewired, now would be the time to install automatic smoke detection devices . These would be required in alI rental buildings as of January 1, 1980, and it would be less expensive, as � well as add to ten ant�' safety, to put them in at the time of rewiring. As for the stairivell enclosure problem, Mr. Tieso suggested that Mr. Coughlin meet with housina code personnel to arrive at the best solution to the type of doors that would be permissible , with consideration given to anpearance as ��ell as safety. : � Chairman Wozniak told Mr. Coughlin that if agreement could not be reached on aIl points relating to the stairwell enclosures , he could return to the Board. Meanwhile , that part of his appeal would be continued indefinitelv. The chairman also noted that Mr. Coughlin had submitted a $10 filing fee when he requested the re-opening of his case . As� he had already naid his fee at the time of his original anplication in April, 1978, the additional fee was not necessary. BDARD ACTIO'1: Chairman �ozniak moved to grant a waiver of the Legislative Code , Section 54 . 13, pertaining to basement occupancy�, to permit occupancy of basement unit more than 50o below grade . Mr. Tieso seconded. MOTION CARRIED AVD SO ORDERED.

CASE N0. PROPERTY APPELLANT ���-�� 34- 78-B 286 and 294 Day*on Francis R. Hughes (two vacan�t buildings) SUBJECT: ReQuest to re-open case in order to appeal for suspension of ees an penalties due under Vacant Building Registration Ordin an ce until buildings are rented, and also to reQuest additional six months ta complete rehabilitation �aork according to plan filed on each building. Previous Hearing 9/12/78 : Case was withdrawn at appeZlant' s request . APPEA�'VCE : Francis R. Hughes ` � PROCEEDINGS : Mr. Hughes said he had reconsidered his previous withdrawal and was now asking for a suspension of vacant building fees until sueh time as he had his buildings rented. He understood that HRA land adjacent to his property would soon be available for purchase . If he could buy it, it would provide ample parking for his tenants , which heretofore had been a stumblin g block in attempts to obtain private financing. In addition, he said it appeared that loan money would soon be available from HRA under the 312 program for non-owner-occupied buildings of more than five u,nits . He said that Warren Frost, of HRA, had advised him that regulations �on dispersal of money under this program had not yet been received, so it was un certain at this time whether Mr. Hughes would qualify. Mr. Tieso suggested that the vacant building fees , plus ven alties for delinquent payments be allowed to accumulate until Mr. Hughes receives fin ancing to complete work on his properties . Mr. Hughes asked that deferment be allowed until he started to recezve rental income from the buildings . Mr. Tieso stated that he felt deferment of fees should be continued only until money was in hand, and should become payable at the time a building permit ivas _ taken _ out . Steve Roy asked, if Mr. Hughes for some reason cannot obtain either private or 312 finan cing, should the fees be deferred on a continuin g basis ? Mr. Tieso replied that he considered the period of six months , which the Board is entitled to grant on vacant building fees, should be sufficient. BOARD ACTION: Mr. Tieso moved that payment of the vacant building registration fees be allowed to accumulate , with delinquent penalties , until such time as appellant obtains major financing to complete rehabilitation project and applies for a building permit, or until June l, 1979, whichever occurs first . Mr. Glassman seconded. A40TI0� CARRIED AND SO QRDERE D, THE VOTE : Ayes - 5 Nayes - 0 Abstentions - 0 11/I4/78 - Meeting tio. '1,45 • � MINUTES OF THE :�1EETI�G ST.
