APPEARANCE : Evelyn Henly PROCEEDINGS_:_ Mrs. Henly said she had lived, in the building since 1970 and had not, been aware that the basement apartment could not be occupied. Mr. Heider noted that the city' s letter of 10/31/78 stated that a waiver granted by the Board in 1969 to the previous owner automatically expired ��rhen the property was sold. 1�1r. Tieso said he didn' t think waivers granted by the Board back in those earlier years were recorded on the deed, so it was possible a title se arch had not produced the information to a buyer. Frank Staffenson stated that the window area in the bedroom of this unit i�ras far short of light and ventilation requirements , and it was not suit- able for use as an emergency exit , either, which w as particularly important in a room used as a bedroom. Also , he said, there were no PROC�EDINGS (continued) : 'S- 12/12/78 - Meeting Yo. 146 '��indows in the kitchen and bathroom, but this could be taken care of with ' mechanical ventilation. The immediate concern was the bedroom recause th� basement was so far below grade , and the bedroam window me asured oniy 14 x 22 inches , with no windo��rwell. bir. Heider stated that he felt the situation z��as very serious , and that if it �Jas impossible, financially or physically, to remedy the problem, the unit should be vacated. Chairman Wozniak said it would be difficult to do in the midd2e of winter, but if Mrs . Henly could make the necessary .improvements when sprin g cam� , he would be favorable to granting a variance. Mrs . Henly offered to install a smoke detector to improve the situati on until the work could be done . BOARD ACTION: Mr. Glassman moved to grant a waiver of basement occupancy requirements , provided that a window and adj oining windoza well of sufficient dimensions to comply with light and ventilation requirements an d to serve as an� emergency exit, as well, be installed in the bedroom, that mech anical ventilation be installed in the kitchen and bathroom, and that all re�iiain- ing items liste d in the 10/31/78 Certificate of Occupan cy letter be " completed by June 1, 1979, said ��raiver to be effective for the lifetime of the structure .

Longseth stated that he had four rental units with seven occuvants . He had bought the building from the estate after his father' s death in 1973. There was a b athroom on each of the two floors; and two units on each floor. He asked that he be allowed to con�inue ogerating four units , rather than to deconvert down to two in order to provide separate bathrooms . He also asked that he not be required to install an electric outlet in the laundry area, because he said he did not pravide Iaundry facilities. . - Mr. Tieso asked if there were any laundry appliances in that area, and Mr. Longseth said there was a dryer, but this was not used. Mr. Tieso suggested it would be best to provide another outlet anyway, because a tenant in the future might want to use the area. Chairman Wozniak asked if there had been any progress on the items listed in the Certificate of Occup an cy letter of 10/12/78. Mr. Longseth replied that he had not done so because he wanted to know whether or n ot the Board was going to allow him to continue operating four units before ' undertaking any of the work. =� Mr. LongsetI: said he had two furnaces on the property, and his under- I standing of the code requirements was that each must be enclosed. He asked if a sprinkling system would be permitted instead of enclosures . Frank Staffenson said this was an allowable alternative, so long as there were no living quarters in the baser�ent. When asked how long he would need to complete the work required, l�tr. Lon�- seth said he would like 90` days or so. BOARD ACTION: Mr. Heider moved to grant a variance on the sharect b athrooms , restrictin g occup ancy of each unit to two persons , on condition that all remaining items on the 10/12/78 Certificate of Occupancy letter be completed within 90 days. Mr. Glassman seconded. Mr. Tieso and Mr. CoYeman asked that the motian be amended to specify that the variance shall remain in effect until such time as there is a transfer of title, right or interest in the pronerty.

PROPERTY - AFPELLA'VT • 45 - 78-H 1202 Sherburne Ave. LaVonne L. Wicht � (four units) SUBJE CT: ec{�uest waiver of St . Paul Legislative Code , Section 54. 11 , pertaining to the requirement that bathroom facilities be located W1�J'i1R the walls of an apartment and that each unit haye a separate bathroom, beeause of financial hardship. Prior Hearing 11/14/78: Case was continued to December meeting. APPEARAIVCE: LaVonne L. Wicht PROC�EDINGS : Board Member Tieso related that he had gone out .with a plumbing contractor an d a general contractor to look at this buildzng. Together they had determined that the cost of installing ari additiona2 bath room could not be justified, because the floor nlans of the second az�d third floor apartments could never be remodeled in a satisfactory way. Mr. Tieso said a cost of $6000 to $7500 was estimated for a new bathroom, which � would require b1s . Wicht to raise. her rents . Because the neighborhood `� did not attract renters with good� incomes, he felt such an expenditure' was unfeasible . He said there was only one tenant in each of the three units sharin g one bathroom. He suggested that the Board grant a varian ce to allow operation of the property as at present, restric�in g occupan cy �to one person per unit, on condition that remaining ..items listed an the 10/31/78 Certificate of Occupancy letter be brought into compliance . There was a general discussion by Board members on whether to make the variance effective for the_ lifetime of the structure ,or to limit it to the period of l�is . j9icht' s ownership while she lives in the first floor apartment. BOARD ACTION : Mr. Tieso moved to grant a variance of the ,Legislative Code, Section 54. 11, to permit two apartments on the second floor and one apartment on the third floor to share the second floor bathroom, provided occupancy of each said unit is restricted to one person and that a11 remaining viola- tions listed in the 10/31/78 Certificate of Occupancy Ietter are brought into comp�,iance, until such time as there be a transfer of title , right or interest, and so long as the present owner resides on the property.

SAINT PAUL,MINNESOTA 55104 �� (o �F�2 Pl-A�� November 2, 1978 Council President Hozza Members of the Council Saint Paul, Minnesota I am here today to protest the lack of notification regaxding City Council matter #11 under "New Business--Resolutions", a "resolution approving the actions of the St. Paul Board of Appeals and Review regaxding property at 1621 Maxshall. . . ." If our Community Council office was not on the mailing list for the City Clerk's agenda of your council meetings we would not have known that this matter would come before you today. We received the a,�enda in yesterday's mail, Novenber l. Several calls determined that the "actions" referred to the wa.iver of the housing code ir� order to allow the existence of two basement living units and a shaxed bathroom in an eight unit building. We understand that the Board of Appeals and Review met September 12 on this matter. Since we only leaxned of it yesterday we obviously were not able to heax the appe�lant's request or to testify at that hearing. Due to the lack of notification we can make no judgment as to the merits of this paxticulax case. However, the Merriam Park Community Council is concerned about the condition of rental property in its axea, as expressed in the District 13 Plan. The Community Council and the Merriam Paxk Neighborhood Housing Services (which was also unaware of the granting of this wa.iver before yesterday) can hardly do an efficient job of preserving and enhancing the housing stock in our neighborhood if we axe not notified of such procedures as the granting of hoKsing code and zoning variances, permits for demolition, etc. The Community Council has a Housing Committee which was formed for the express purpose of monitoring housing problems and changes in Merriam Park. We would like the opportunity to refer such matters as building and housing code appeals to that committee, and to testify at hearings regaxding such appeals and applications for that axea bounded by �nelling, University Avenue, Summit Avenue and the western City limi�s. Sufficient notice on these and other matters is in the spirit of citizen participation and the Early Notification System, and is vital for responsible community participa,tion in the conservation of our neighborhoods, • McLaughlin, p.2 .

Miin M. Chen SUBJE�T: (� �its) • R�quest waiver of code requirements pertaining to certain fire-safety violations, shared bathrooms, occupancy of two cellar units, and venting of one sink, as designated in Certificate of Occup ancy letter of 6/28/78; also, request extensions of time for completion of various repairs, as outlined in appellant 's letter, because of financial hardship. Prior Hearing 9/12/78: Case was continued to October meeting. APPEARA�'�rCE: Miin M. Chen PROCEEDINGS: lllice Bijjani stated that she had met with Mre Chen and mutual agreement was reached on the work to be done. The housing code office would not �bject to occupancy of the basement units, the sharing of bathrooms, nor to the absence of a vent in a lavatory of one bathroom, on condition that all remaining items listed as violations in the letter of 6/28/78 be taken care of within one year. She said Mr. Chen was given the option to convert the third floor to one unit instead of two, which would eliminate a stair enclosure problem and also the second exit requirement, or, if he chose not to make the conversion, he would enclose the stairwell and pruvide the additional access . There was a discussion on what type of waiver might be considered, one to run f.or the lifetime of the building or for the period of Mr. Chen' s .owner- ship only. Ms. Bijjani said a waiver limited to Mr. Chen's ownership would mean a drastic reduction in the building' s value if he should want to sell• _ _ - , , � � - 3-• 10/10/78 - Meeting No. 144 �Ccr.�in�:ed) Ms . Bijjani explained that there was no possible way that a bathroom for eac}i unit could ever be installed, and the only alternative would be to cenyert down to a threeplex, reducing rental income by a large amount. BORI:D ACTZON: Ci�uirmar_ Wozniak moved to grant waivers for the • lifetime of the structure �n th� f411owing sections of the St. Paul LegisTative Code : Section 54 .13, so as t� allo�a occupanc� of two basement units ; Section 54 .11, so as to aliovr shared bathrooms , provided no more than four persons share one baLhrcom; and to the requirement of a vent in one bathroom sink.
