96-1103 Council File # �� `o I � � �f �� Green Sheet # � d�► � � RESOLUTION �°f"� ;� CI OF INT PAUL, MINNESOTA / � .�� Presented B ,� ' �` -� � ! �' `�--.._.__ ___ Y , j Referred To Committee: Date 1 2 Whereas, Donald and Debra Wright made application to the Board of Zoning Appeals 3 for a variance from the strict application of the provisions of the Saint Paul Zoning Code for 4 property located at 2103 Hartford Avenue, legally described as Lot 2, Bertha's 5 Rearrangement; and 6 7 Whereas, The purpose of the application was to vary the standards of the Zoning Code 8 so as to allow the continued use of a parking space in a required front yard in a R-4 Zoning 9 District; and 10 11 Whereas, The Board of Zoning Appeals conducted a public hearing on May 13, 1996, 12 after having provided notice to affected property owners, and the Board, by its Resolution 13 No.96-101 adopted May 28, 1996, decided to deny the application based on the following 14 findings and conclusions: 15 16 1. There is ample room to provide additional off-street parking in 17 the rear yard and the front yard parking is a convenience rather 18 than a hardship. 19 20 2. The house is setback 35 feet from the street. The garage is 21 located about 20 feet from the rear of the house. Both situations 22 create a long walk for the applicants' elderly relatives. The 23 driveway/parking space was in existence when the applicants 24 purchased the house and is not a circumstance created by the 25 applicants. 26 27 3. The applicants state that the nearby college, St. Catherine's, 28 generates a lot of traffic on Hartford Avenue presenting a danger 29 to children laying in the area. Reducing the amount of on-street 30 parking wherever possible will make it easier for drivers to see 31 the children. However, there is room to provide additional off- 32 street parking in the rear. 33 34 4. The applicant has submitted letters from his neighbors at 2099 35 and 2107 Hartford Avenue stating that they have no objection to 36 the continued use of the driveway for parking. This, together 37 with the fact that the parking has been in existence since 1969 38 without complaint, would seem to indicate that the parking has 39 not adversely affected the neighborhood. 40 41 5. The proposed variance, if granted would not alter or change the 42 zoning classification of the property. 43 � ac. — ��03 �(� � ��reas, Pursuant to the provisions of Section 64.205, Donald and Debra Wright, duly I� e City Clerk an appeal from the determination made by the Board of Zoning 3 Appeals, requesting that a heazing be held before the City Council for the purpose of 4 considering the actions taken by the said Board; and 5 6 Whereas, Acting pursuant to Sections 64.205 through 64.208, and upon notice to 7 affected parties a public hearing was duly conducted by the City Council on July 24, 1996 8 where all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and 9 10 Whereas, The Council, having heard the statements made, and having considered the 11 variance application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Board of 12 Zoning Appeals, does hereby 13 14 Resolve, That the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby reverse the decision of 15 the Board of Zoning Appeals in this matter, based on the following findings of the Council: 16 17 A. The findings of fact set forth in the Staff Report to the BZA supported a 18 recommendation by Staff to approve the variance. The Council now adopts 19 those facts as its own. Those facts are: 20 21 1. The applicants state that the driveway originally ran all the way 22 back to the garage until sometime in 1969 when a kitchen 23 addition was added to the east side of the house. Since that time 24 the access to the garage has been through the alley and the 25 driveway has been sued for parking. The applicants would like 26 to retain the driveway for parking as a convenience for his 27 elderly relatives and as a short term parking area. 28 29 2. The house is setback 35 feet from the street. The garage is 30 located about 20 feet from the rear of the house. Both situations 31 create a long walk for the applicants' elderly relatives. The 32 driveway/parking space was in existence when the applicants 33 purchased the house and is not a circumstance created by the 34 applicants. 35 36 3. The applicants state that the nearby college, St. Catherine's, 37 generates a lot of traffic on Hartford Avenue presenting a danger 38 to children laying in the area. Reducing the amount of on-street 39 parking wherever possible will make it easier for drivers to see 40 the children. 41 42 4. The applicant has submitted letters from his neighbors at 2099 43 and 2107 Hartford Avenue stating that they have no objection to 44 the continued use of the driveway for parking. This, together 45 with the fact that the parking has been in existence since 1969 46 without complaint, would seem to indicate that the parking has 47 not adversely affected the neighborhood. 48 49 5. The proposed variance, if granted would not alter or change the 50 zoning classification of the property. 51 ��lr° ` :�'� F t � �. �The facts above stated in the Staff Report recommendation to approve the q` —``Q'3 � � �--' E i �.� ;var►iance further the general welfare of the City. 3 4 And Be It Further Resolved, That the appeal of Donald and Debra Wright be and is 5 hereby granted; and, 6 7 Be It Finally Resolved, That the City Clerk shall mail a copy of this resolution to 8 Donald and Debra Wright, the Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission and Board of 9 Zoning Appeals. � Navs Absent Requested by Department of: a ev Bostrom arris � uerin e ar � ettman � une BY� Form Approved by City Attorney Adopted by Council: Date � Adoption Certified by Council Secretary By: ��y� �/2 7 �( By� Approved by Mayor for Submission to Approved by Mayor: Date � C� Council By: / ' ` � G� By: � .�t�-1.�03 � ��N � ��EElV S�EET N_ 36372 Cit Council 9/4/% s ��ew►ar�ror oipEC�roR � � �cm couNC�� - - �"m�►va►� Councilmember Harris 266-8630 �R� ❑cmnrroRNev { �cmc��c 81'(��) qpyT� �BUDOET DIRECt�OR ' �FIN.6 MOT.9ERVICEB DIR.

Wright �I (.- 1�b3 LETTER TO COUNCILMEMBERS 9c.-��o3 June 21, 1996 St. Paul City Council 310 City Hall 15 West Kellogg Boulevard St. Paul, MN 55102 RE: Driveway Vaziance Denial By the St. Paul Zoning Board Don&Debbie Wright, Owners 2103 Hartford Ave. St. Paul, MN 55116 Zoning Boazd File# 96-078 St. Paul City Council Members: This letter is being written to notify the St. Paul City Council that Don & Debbie Wright, the owners of 2103 Hartford Ave., are appealing the St. Paul Zoning Boazd's denial of their driveway variance application as was set forth in the Boazd's meeting of May 13, 1996. We find it necessary to appeal our case to the St. Paul City Council based upon the following facts. Fact Number One: The City Staff Report submitted to the Zoning Board by John Hardwick recommended approval of our variance application based on findings one through six of their report. Fact Number Two: The first order of new business at the May 13, 1996 Board meeting was an application for minor variance to allow front yard parking. The variance application was submitted by Carol & Kevin Tumquist 86 Cook Ave. West. (file # 96-077) This properry tumed out to be a duplex and the applicants were requesting off street pazking for their tenants. The Board na.rrowly approved the variance application by a four in favor to three against vote. After the vote was taken, I felt confident my variance application would also be approved. Fact Number Three: The second order of business was our application for minor variance to allow front yazd pazking. I was shocked when the Board voted six in favor to one against to deny our variance application. Why did the Turnquist's variance pass while our variance was denied? Several reasons come to Psge 1 Q �- 1� �3 mind. First,the Board gave special consideration to renta.l property versus a single family residence. Second, the Board reacts differently on front yard parking depending on the neighborhood. Third, the Board felt we had no right to a front yard driveway since we have a garage and the possibility of parking in the back yard. Fact Number Four: In denying our variance, it was the Board's contention in finding number one of the Staff Report there is ample room in the back yazd to park a vehicle. This decision was based on a picture shown to the Board of an additional parking space for a sma.11 tent trailer in the backyazd running parallel to the alley. (Exhibit VI) Upon your review of the picture marked(E�ibit Vn you should come to the conclusion there is insufficient room to make an additional parking space parallel to the garage. Subsequent to the picture shown to the Boazd, a fence has now been installed sectioning off the trailer parking space from the rest of the back yard. Therefore, because of the limited space in the back yard it was unreasonable of the Board to have assumed there was ample room in the back yard for parking without seeing the backyard in its present condition prior to the installation of the fence. Fact Number Five: The Board also denied our variance based on their opinion the front driveway is a convenience rather than a necessity due to hardship. I am not disputing the fact the Board has decided the driveway is a convenience. I am disputing this convenience has been in existence for at least sixty years according to Joseph J. Ruzichka who has lived in our neighborhood for that length of time.(Exhibit III notarized statement) Unfortunately, when I appeared before the Board on May 13, 1996, I was not aware of the facts attested to by Mr. Ruzichka in his statement. Since there is not an appeal process to the Zoning Board based on additional facts, I am currently submitting this statement as part of my appeal. Fact Number Six: Mr. John Hardwick, Office of License, Inspections, and Environmental Protection, had indicated in several conversarions that if a similaz statement of Mr. Ruzichka's had been submitted to the LIEP Office prior to my appearance before the Board, then my application for variance could�have been administratively approved saving myself and the City of St. Paul valuable time and money. Fact Number Seven: In finding number three of the Staff Report, the Board reiterated there was ample room in the back yard for additional parking based upon incomplete facts. I can only conclude the Boazd based their decision on the fact that the granting of the variance is not in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code. This conclusion is based on the Boazd's inability or refusal to respond on how the granting of the variance would adversely af�ect the health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of the residents of St. Paul. The spirit and intent of the current code (as amended and passed in 1975) should ha.ve no bearing on a driveway which has been in existence for forty years prior to the passing of the current code. Page 2 � � -1��3 My wife and I have been homeowners in the City of St. Paul for the past eleven years. In those eleven years we ha.ve made significant improvements to our property. These improvements have benefited our neighborhood by increasing property values and the desirability of families to move into our communiTy versus moving to the suburbs. We aze urging the members of the City Council to overium the Zoning Boazd decision denying our variance application. Both the City of St. Paul and I have expended considerable time and money pursuing a situation which has existed for sixty years. Retaining our driveway has not, nor will it in the future, adversely affect the health, safety, morals and welfare of our neighborhood or the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul.

STAFF INVESTIGATION AND REPORT: DATE: 04/24/96 BY: John Hardwick 8 DATE RECEIVED: 04/17/96 DEADLIlV'E FOR ACTION: 6/16/96 _ A. PURPOSE: A variance to allow parl:ing within a required front yard. B. ACTION REQUESTED: Section 62.104 (11) states: "off•street parking spaces shall not be within a required front or side yard and shall be a minimum of 4 fcet from any side lot line". C. STTE AND AREA CONDTITONS: This is a 43 by 125 foot lot with a two-car detached garage in the rear yard. There is alley access to the rear of the property. Surrounding Land Use: Primarily single family homes. D. BACKGROUND: As part of the street paving project planned for Hartford Avenue this summer,the Public Works Department notifie�the applicants that they would not provide a curb cut for his driveway which led to an apparent illegal parking space. E. FINDIl�IGS: � 1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. The applicants state that the driveway originally ran all the way back to the garage until sometime in 1969 when a kitchen addition was added to the east side of the house. Since that time the access to the garage has been through the alley and the driveway has been used for parking. The applicants would like to retain the driveway for parking as a convenience for his elderly relatives and as a short term parking area. 2. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. �' File#96-078 Page Two This house is setback 35 feet from the street. The garage is located about 20 feet from the rear of the house: Bath situations create a long walk for the applicants'elderly relatives. The driveway/paridng space was in existence when the applicants purchased the house and is not a circumstance created by the applicants. 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort,morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul. The applicants state that the nearby college, St. Catherine's, generates a lot of traffic on Hartford Avenue presenting a danger to children playing in the area. Reducing the amount of on-street parking wherever possible will make it easier for drivers to see the children. 4. The proposed variance ��ill not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. The applicant has submitted letters from his neighbors at 2099 and 2107 Hartford Avenue stating that they have no objection to the continued use of the driveway for parking. This, together with the fact that the parking has been in existence since 1969 without complaint, wouId seem to indicate that the parking has not adversely affected the neighborhood. 5. The variance, if granted,would not pernut any use that is not permitted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the a$'ected land is located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classification of the properry. The proposed variance, if granted would not alter or change the zoning classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. F. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMME:��DATION: As of the date of this report we have not received a recommendation from District 15. G. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on findings 1 through 6, staff recommends approval of the variance. �Z �.,. � ' �' ZONING BOARD �+e� ��;�,o� � `� ��3 APPLICATION FOR ZONING ORDINANCE VARIANCE - CITY OF SAINT PAUL .

T'he access to the garage had been from the e�►isting front dri��ew�a�•until the kitchen addition �•as added to the east side of the house sometime prior to 1969. This changed the acass to the garage from thc existing drivew•a}•to the alley. Since our dri��e��a�� has been in existence for many ��ears and has ban used as shon term parking for residenu and their.7sitors, I believe granung the��ariance w•ould not deter from the o��erall appearance of our street or create a detriment to the public.

ADJOt;fFWMENT APPLICANT: You or your representative should attend this meeting to answer say questions the Board may hava q ` - 1tn3 tita�� 13. 1996 Board of Zonir.g Appcals Cit�•of St. Paul Ofiice of L[EP 3�U St. Peter Street-Suite 3UU St. Paul MN 5�102 Our purpose in this presentation is to respond to the objection to our request for a variance. This objection has been put forth by the tenant(Ellen Jeddeloh,currentl�•living at 2U98 Hartford Ave)and the non occapant oR ners(George and Margen-Jeddeloh,of 2098-2100 Hartford A��e. �cho resides at 597 Mount Curve Blvd). We feel that their concerns regarding our request to keep our front drive��a�•are unfounded for the follo«ing reasons: 1)We currendy use our dri��en�a�•for shoR term parking,such as loading and unloading our car and for the con��enience and safety of our handicapped elderly pareau. Because n�e are using our drivea�a�-for short tezm parldng,�re do nat see this as a distraction to the neighborhood or deten irom the attracti�•eness of our neighborhood. Z)Our house�was built in 193�along with the garage and drive«-a�-. The dri�•en•a��led from!he street direcd��to the garage. Prior to 1969 our house had an addition to the kitchen�vhich cut off the dri��e«�a��from going to the garage. The oc�ners at that dme,re��ersed the car entrance to the garage from the south side to the north side. We ha�•e li��ed at 2103 Hartford since 1985.�ti•e ha�•e never kno«n am•case n�hich a sale of a home has been ad��ersel�•effecied b�•our drivewa3�. We ha�•e inciuded a letter from Edina Realty,stating our driveti��ay has not reduced the��alue of our home or our neighboring homes. We a•ould like to point out the objections�vhich have been made are&om one famil��onh•.father. mother and daughter. Mr.and Mrs.Jeddeloh are non occupaat o�vners,and Ellen Jeddeloh is a tenant Please see attached telephone listing,because Mr. and Mrs. Jeddeloh are non occupant o«ners,n�e feel the��are looking at thzir business interest not familr needs. The Jeddeloh's purchased their duples about fi�•e years ago. Their decision in purchasing 2098-2100 Hartford was not hindered at that time because of our front yard drive�vay�. We also feel by using our dm�eway for short term parking,this allows for unobstructed�ie«•to the mortorist when uaveling drnvn Hartford Hartford is used by man��mortorists because of the com•enience of getting from Cleveland to Cretin or�zce versa��ithout am•stop signs. There is a das-care «ithin nro houses of ours,and the children's safen•is alwavs an issue. q �• � � '�3 We ha�•c made significant impro�•ements to the appearance of our homc in e�.::ss of�2�.�nui. Because of these impro�•ements.�ve ha��e kept up n�ith the appcarance��hich benefits our ncighborhood and the cin�of St. Pau[. 8��making these impro�•cments. ��c fccl thal«�e ha��c sho��n�.�::art��cn�strong good residents of the cit��of St. Paul and suppoR cit}�li�ing instead of suburban li��in�=. Please note there are four attachments.«�hich are as follo��s: 1)Letter from Edina Realh�. 2)Cop��of the telephone listing�vhich sho«�s current address of the o«ners and tenant of ZU98 - 2100 Hartford 3)Map of our neighborhood sho«ing addresses of the residences�cho ha��e not objected to us retaining our driveway,a�nd the address of the objecting p�uties duples. #)Current pictures of our home. (The pipes«�hich r-ou see in front of our homz is«�ork�rhich is currently in progress by the city of St.Paul). In conclusion«•e hope that«�e l�ave effecti��el�-sho�rn that our dri�•e«�a��is noc a distraction or detriment to the atuacti��eness of our neighborhood or am�cause for concem regardin�a lo�rer��alue of surrounding homes.

The property in question can be pui to a rcasonable use undcr the strict pro��isions of the code. Thcre is ample room to pro�•ide additional off•strcet parl:ing in the rear yard and the front yard parking is a covenience rather than a hardship. 2. The plight of the land o��ncr is due to circurnstances unique to this property,and these circumstances were not created by the land o�tiner. This house is setback 35 feet from the street The garage is located about 20 fcet from the rear of the house. Both situations create a lon,�ralk for the applicants'elderly relatives. 'I'he drivev►•ay/parking space w•as in�istence��•hen the applicants purchased the house and is not a circumstance created by the applicants. 3. The proposed variance is not in keeping w�eh the spirit and intent of the code,and is consistent w�th the health,safety,comfort,morals and«�elfaze of the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul. The applicants state that the nearby collegc,St Catherine's,gencrates a lot of trafTic on Hartford Avenue pre.senting a danger to children playing in the area.Reducing the amount of on-street parking wherever possible�ti�ill mal:e it easier for driven to see the children.Ho�ve��er,there is room to nrovide additional off•street parking in the rear��ard. 4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property,nor�ill it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values �ithin the surrounding area. The applicant has submitted letters from his neighbors at 2099 and 2107 Hartford Avenue stating that they have no objection to the continued use of the driveway for pazlang. This,together w�th the fact that the parking has been in e�istence since 1969 Hithout complaint,would seem to indicate that the parking has not adversely affected the neighborhood. � ` -11 �3 File:96-078 Page T�•o S. The��ariance,if granted,would not permit any use that is not permittcd under the pro�•isions of the code for the property in the district��hcre the affected land is locatcd,nor«�ould it alter or chanse the zoning disvict classification of the property. The proposed��ariance,if ganled��•ould not altcr or change the zoning classification of the property. 6. The request for variancc is not based primaril��on a dcsire to increase the��alue or income potential of�he parcel of land. NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED,by the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals that the applicalion to w•ai�•e the provisions of Section 62.10�(11)to allow parl:ing w�thin a required front}•ard on property located at 2103 HARTFORD AVENUE and legally described as Lot 2,Bertha's Rearrangement;in accordance with the application for variance and thc sile plan on filc��th the Zoning Administrator is hcrcby denied. 1�ZOVED BY: Bogen SECONDED BY: Tu»y IN FAVOR: 6 AGAINST: � MAILED: June 11, 1996 TIA�IE LIMIT: No order of the Board of Zoning Appeals permitting the erection or slteration of a building or off-street parking tacility shall be valid for a period longer than one year,unless a buiiding permit for such erection or alteration is obtained within such period and such ereciien or alteration is proceeding pursuant to the terms of such permi� The Board of Zoning Appeals or the�ty Council may grant an eztension not to exceed one year.
