Dear Madam:
This is an appeal to the City Council by S'Dona Development, Inc. from a
decision made by the St. Paul Board of Zoning Appeals. The appellant
requests a variance from the sideyard setbacks required in an R-1 residential
district.
This matter was heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals on July 12, 1977.
Because a home with a slightly different floor plan could easily fit on this
lot, Staff found the requested variance to be based more on convenience than
on hardship. A motion to recommend denial was made by Hurr�ner, seconded by
Grais, and passed on a 3 to 2 roll call vote, with Benshoof and Horak
dissenting.
This matter is scheduled to be heard before the St. Paul City Council on
September 8, 1977.
Sincerely,
i��.r„ <:� u��vrr�cc�.

WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals condu ted a public hearing on
July 26, 1977 pursuant to said appeal in accordance wfith the requirements of

WHEREAS, the St. Paul Board of Zoning Appeals, based lupon evidenGe presented
at the public hearing, as ref1ected 9n the minutes at,�tached hereto as Exhibit A,
made the following findings of fact:
1 . The request for variance is based on the d9mensions of the pre-
designed Wausau home selected for the site. Qther style5 would
fit on the lot without requiring a variance.
2. Reducing the sideyard would impose on the neighboring property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Bo�rd of Zoning Appeals

MINUTES OF MEETING OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEAL� TUESDAY� JU�y 26� �gl� �
IN CQUNCIG CNAMBERS, SAINT PAUL. MIl�NESOTA �.
, �
PRESENT: Messrs. Grais, Benshoof. Horak, ,Humner and F1$hman pf the Board of �
on�ng ppeals; Mr. Thomas Sipkins, Assistant City Atto�rney; Mr. Richnrd Anqy
of the Division of Housing & Building Cade Enforcement;IMMes. Fearnside and Fux �
of the Planning Staff. _ i '
The meeting was chaired by Stanley Fishman, Y'ice-Chair�n� 1n the absenCe qf� ' ; :
Chairman Gladys Morton. ,
;
S'DONA DEVELOPMENT, INC. (�8170): M application for v�riance t0 construct d
ngTe #a�i' y�e on property�ocated on the south.sid�e of William `Tell Rc�d.
i
The appellant was present. There was no oppositon. �
�
�
Ms. Fearnside read the staff report and showed s}ides qf the sub�ect site.
;
Mr. Robert Heck, 1771 Edward Street. said he r�present d the owner of the property
(Thomas Grovack) and stated 1 ) The lot does narrow at he �Front which makes it '
hard to put in a home the same as others in the area. 2) Hardship would be that
the purchaser used his life savings and applied for a �oan. �f variance is. �
denied, he would lose the 6�% morteage and possibly lo$e the lot. 3) Variances
have been granted in this same area within the past ye�r 4) No detriment to
neighbors because most of them have built in the same �attern 5) No economic
gain for the owner but a large loss if variance is not; granted.
Mr. Hummer asked if this were a pre-designed home for �ny lot. Mr. Heck answered
yes, that it was a Wausau home. Mr. Hummer asked if there were any reason for
any other style home to be put on the lot, and Mr. Hec �said homes hav�e gone up
and another style would not qualify for the present mo�tgage.
Mr. Keith Isaac, 20 William Tell Road, said he lives st of the lot, and many homes
that would fit onto that lot are available. He said he purchaser is figuring a
garage in the home and if the garage were put in the r±ear, the hous� would fit onto
the lot nicely. He said he had to conform to the code and redesign his entire house
and lo5t much money himself, so he felt that a smaller size home could go on the lot.
He had a petition signed by 3 people who oppose anything other than a 10 ft. wide
setback. He said his house is a $55,000 to $75,000 hqme, so he wants nothing
closer than 10 ft. He said the people signing the petition have 20 ft. between
their homes. and would be against anyone who wanted l ss than a 10 ft. wide sett�ack.
Mr. Humner then moved for denial of the variance requ st, so that one neighbor would ,
not intrude on another. The motion for seconded by M . Grais and passed on a 3 to 2 ,
roll call vote, with Messrs. Benshoof and Horak disse�ting.

3. PURPOSE . Single Family Home -
4. LOCATION . South side of Wi1liam Tell Road
5. LEGAL DESCRIPTION : Lot 30, Block l , Bisanz 'Swiss Meadows
6. PRESENT ZOIVING: R-1
7. PURSUANT T0� Zoning Code Chapter; �1 Section: 100 paragraph:
8. STAFF INVESTIGATION & REPORT: Date: 7-6-77 gy; �$g
A. PROPOSAL: The appellant wishes to build a single family home 70' x 24' . It
wou e set back six feet on the east and seven feet on the west.
B. FRONTAGE AND AREA: This pie-shaped lot has a 68 ft, frontage on the circular
turn-aroun of i liam Tell Road. The lot widens to 90 ft. in the rear.
It is about 9300 sq. ft. in area. It is a legal non-conforming lot in an
R-1 zone. Lots in this zoning district are required to be 80 ft. wide and
9600 sq. ft. in area.
C. UARIANCE: Section 61 .100 requires 10 ft. sideyar�d setbacks in an R-1 zone.
Variances of 4 ft. on the east and 3 ft. on the west are required for the
proposed development.
D. SITE CONDITIONS: This flat, vacant, pie-shaped site is bounded by single
ami y homes on either side. There is undeveloped land immediately to the
south. The proposed house would be set back 32 ft. in the front and 47 ft.
in the rear.
E. AREA CONDITIONS: Because the area is not yet fully urbanized<r it,..has a ,
suburban quality. It is being developed with large sing]e family homes.
The home to the west has a swimming pool and is separated from the subject
site by a six ft. redwood fence. South of the subject site is a field about
10 acres in area which has not been platted. William Tell Road and the two
streets to the north are cul-de-sacs. Several homes on William Tell Road
have sideyards less than 10 ft. wide.
F. FINDINGS:
1 . There is some physical basis for the variance, as the lot is somewhat pie-shaped.
2. In spite of its non-rectangular shape, this is easily a buildable lot. Many
house plans would fit on this lot without requiring a variance.
3. The proposed development would not be incompatible with neighboring homes
as several of these have narrower side lots than are now required. �
G. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on Finding #2, the requested variance appears to be
based more on convenience than on hardship or practical difficulty. Staff
reco�ner.ds the request be denied.

Rose Mix, City Clerk

St. Paul , Minn. 55102
Dear Madam:
This is an appeal to the City Council by S'Dona Development, Inc. from a
decision made by the St. Paul Board of Zoning Appeals. The appellant
requests a variance from the sideyard setbacks required in an R-1 residential
district.
This matter was heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals on July 12, 1977.
Because a home with a slightly different floor plan could easily fit on this
lot, Staff found the requested variance to be based more on convenience than
on hardship, A motion to recommend denial was made by Hummer, seconded by
Grais, and passed on a 3 to 2 roll call vote, with Benshoof and Horak
dissenting.
This matter is scheduled to be heard before the St. Paul City Council on
September 8, 1977.
Sincerely,
t ,�.r, .� i��irirr�c�...

WHEREAS, S'Dona Development, Inc. has applied fOr a variAnce from the strict
application of the provisions of Section 61 .100 of the Saint Pau1 Legislative
Code pertaining to sideyard setbacks in an R-1 zontng district, and r
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zaning Appeals conducted a public hearing on
July 26, 1977 pursuant to said appeal in accordance with the requirements Of �.
Section 64.203a of the Legislative Gode, and
WHEREAS, the St. Paul Board of Zoning Appea�s, based upon evidence presented
at the public hearing, as reflected in the minutes attached hereto es Exhibit A,
made the following findings of fact:
l . The request for variance is based on the dimensions of the pre-
designed Wausau home selected for the site. Other styles would
fit on the lot without requiring a variance.
2. Reducing the sideyard would impose on the neighboring property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals
that under th� authority of the City's Legislative Code, Chapter 64.206, it
denies the request to relax the sideyard setback requireraents on the property
described in the legal description on the application for variance (Exhibit B)

MINUTES OF MEETING OF THE BOARD DF ZONING APPEALS TUESDAY. JULY 26, 1977
IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS, SAINT PAUL. MINNESOTA •�
►
PRESENT: Messrs. Grais, Be�shoof, Horak, .Hunmer �nd Flshman of ths Board of
oning Appeals; Mr. Thomas Sipkins, Assistant C1ty Attqrney; Mr. R1ch�rd Waey
of the Oivision of Housing & Building Code Enforcement; Mmes. Fearnsld�e �ru� Fpx
of the Planning Staff. � �
The meeting was chaired by Stanley Fishman, ViGe-Chairman� in the �bsence of i
Chairman Gladys Morton.
S'DONA DEVELOPMENT, INC. (�8,�170 •_ M application for varlance to con&truct � �
singT��'T—y Fi—ome on property�ocated on the south.side of William Te11 Road.
The appellant was present. There was no oppositon.
Ms. Fearnside read the staff report and showed slides of the sub�ect site.
Mr. Robert Heck, 1771 Edward Street. said he reqresented the owner of the property
(Thomas Grovack) and stated 1 ) The lot does narrow at the front which makes 1t
hard to put in a home the same as others in the area. 2) Nardship would be that
the purchaser used his life savings and applied for a loan. If variance is. �
denied, he would lose the 6�% mort�age and possibly lase the lot. 3) Variances
have been granted in this same area within the past year 4) No detriment to
neighbors because most of them have built in the same pattern 5) No economic
gain for the owner but a large loss if variance is not granted.
Mr. Hummer asked if this were a pre-designed hame for any lot. Mr. Heck answered
yes, that it was a Wausau home. Mr. Hummer asked if there were any reason for
any other style home to be put on the lot, and Mr. Neck�said homeS have gone up
and another 'style would not qualify for the present mortgage.
Mr. Keith Isaac, 20 William Tell Road, said he lives west of the lot, and many homes
that would fit onto that lot are available. He said the purchaser is figuring a
garage in the home and if the garage were put in the rear, the house would fit onto
the lot nicely. He said he had to conform to the code and redesign his entire house
and loSt much money himself, so he felt that a smaller size home could go on the lot.
He had a petition signed by 3 people who oppose anything other than a 10 ft. wide
setback. He said his house is a $55,000 to $75,000 home, sa he wants nothing
closer than 10 ft. He said the people signing the petition have 20 ft. between
their homes, and would be against anyone who wanted less than a 10 ft. wide setaack.
Mr. Humner then moved for denial of the variance request, so that one neighbor would :
not intrude on another. The motion for seconded by Mr. Grais and passed on a 3 to 2 ;
roll call vote, with Messrs. Benshoof and Horak d9ssenting.

1. APPLICANT'S NAME : S'Dona Development, Inc.
Z. CLASSIFICATION . � Amendment � Appeal � Permit � Othls
3. PURPOSE . Single Family Home
4. LOCATION . South side of William Te11 Road
5. LEGAL DESCRIPTION : Lot 30, Block l , Bisanz 'Swiss Meadows
6. PRESENT ZONING: R-1
7. PURSUANT TO Zoning Code Chapter: 61 Section: 100 Paragraph:
8. STAFF INVESTIGATION & REPORT: Dste: 7-6-77 gy; �Sg
A. PROPOSAL: The appellant wishes to build a single family home 70' x 24' . I�
wou e set back six feet on the east and seven feet on the west.
B. FRONTAGE AND AREA: This pie-shaped lot has a 68 ft. frontage on the circular
turn-aroun o i liam Tell Road. The lot widens to 90 ft. in the rear.
It is about 9300 sq. ft. in area. It is a legal non-conforming lot in an
R-1 zone. Lots in this zoning district are required to be 80 ft. wide and
9600 sq, ft. in area.
C. VARIANCE: Section 61 .100 requires 10 ft. sideyard setbacks in an R-1 zone.
Vari— a es of 4 ft. on the east and 3 ft. on the west are required for the
proposed development.
D. SITE CONDITIONS: This flat, vacant, pie-shaped site is bounded by single
ami y omes on either side. There is undeveloped land imnediately to the
south. The proposed house would be set back 32 ft. in the front and 47 ft.
in the rear.
E. AREA CONDITIONS: Because the area is not yet fully urbanized,. it:.has a .
suburban quality. It is being developed with large single family homes.
The home to the west has a swimming pool and is separated fram the subject
site by a six ft. redwood fence. South of the subject site is a field about
1.0 acres in area which has not been platted. William Tell Road and the two
streets to the north are cul-de-sacs. Several homes on William Tell Road
have sideyards less than 10 ft. wide.
F. FINDINGS:
1. There is some physical basis for the variance, as the lot is somewhat pie-shaped.
2. In spite of its non-rectangular shape, this is easily a buildable lot. Many
house plans would fit on this lot without requiring a variance.
3. The proposed development would not be incompatible with neighboring homes
as several of these have narrower side lots than are now required.
G. STAFF RECOMMENDATIpNS: Based on Finding #2, the requested variance appears to be
based more on convenience than on hardship or practical difficulty. Staff
reconrnends the request be denied.
