He said he was appealing for a basement occupancy waiver and, if granted, the items relating to that apartment would be completed.

Walfoort SUBJECT: Request waiver of St. Paul Legislative Code , Section 54. 1I, pertaining to bathroom sink requirement and certain plumbing and electrical require- ments, because of financial hardship. Previous Hearing 11/8/77 : Case continued to December 1977 meeting; in the interim, appellant to meet with city plumbing inspector for evaluation and recommendation of best solution to sink venting deficiency. APPEARANCE : Edward D. Walfoort PROCEEDINGS: Doug Schwab stated that a city plumbing inspectar had met with Mr. Walfoort and,after a thorough inspection, had explained to Mr. Walfoort that the Idtc3�en sink waste was undersized and also had unapproved fittings. The waste dis- charged into the crown vent of the bathtub and drained very slowly, due either to the lack of a vent or to a partial stoppage. If the sink vent was not connected back to the bathtub, a new vent could be installed in the adjacent hallway and through the ro�af. A new kitchen sink waste should be installed so as not to interfere with the venting of the bathtub. These were the recommendations of the plumbing inspector, Mr. Schw ab said. : 1014 Pacific -5- 12/13/77 - Meeting No. 136 PROCEEDINGS : (continued) Mr. Walfoort asked if compliance with this suggestion would influence the Board to agree to waive the requirement of a handsink in the bathroom of Apt. #4, and also the� requirement of a convenience outlet in the bathroom, since there would not appear to be a need for it if there w as no lavatory. Mr. Schwab said his agency would not object to the waivers proposed by Mr. Walfoort if he would agree to correct the kitchen sink violations in Apt. 3. BOARD ACTION: Chairman Tieso moved to grant a waiver of St. Paul Legislative� Code , Section 54. 11, so as to allow the b athroom in Apt . 4 to continue in use without installing a handsink or electric convenience outlet , provideci the kitchen sink plumbing in Apt. 3 be corrected in a manner approved by the city plumbing inspector.

Previous Hearing 9/13/77: Case continued to December 1977 meeting toRallow time to investigate costs of various alternative solutions to problems of lighting and ventilation. APPEARANCE: Larry Rantapaa PROCEEDINGS: Nir. Rantapaa said he had obtained estimates tatalling about $1500 for work involved to reverse the locations of the kitchen and bedroom in the base- ment apartment. These included venting of the sink, rerouting the plumb- ing and the gas for the kitchen, and enlarging the window area of the new bedroom. He had reservations about making the change, however, as the new bedroom would be very small, 6 by 12 ft. , and the bathroom could be reached only by passing through the kitchen, whereas it formerly adjoined the bed- room. He felt the new floor vlan would make for a much less desirable unit. Alice Bijjani explained that the new windows in the proposed bedroom area should be a minimum of 22 inches in both dimensions and should not be more than 4 feet from the floor. _ N1r. Rantapaa stated �that there was a much larger window in the living room - which was adjacent to the new bedroom. bir. Voigt said that if the wall separating the bedroom and living room was more than 50� open,� the larger window could be a part of the light and . . ...2177 Knapp -6- 12/13/77 - Meeting No. 136 PROCEEDINGS: (continued) ventilation for both rooms. Perhaps the windows of the two rooms , taken together, would meet the l00 of floor area requirement, or at least call for a smaller opening` in the bedroom. Ms . ' Bijjani said if Mr. Rantapaa wanted to change the kitchen location he would need a variance on the light and ventilation; in addition, he would need a variance on the S0� below grade occupancy. The Housing Code office would not object to this if Mr. Rantapaa would agree to provide a window in the bedroom area large enough to make it suitable for use as an emergency exit. She also pointed out that a 6 by 12 ft. bedroom would be suitable for only one occupant. BOARD ACTION: Mr. Glassman moved to grant a waiver on the basement occupancy and a waivex on the light and ventilation requirements in the kitchen, regardless of which room he decided to use as a kitchen, provided sufficient light and ventilation is furnished for the room used as a bedroom to satisfy the requirements of the Housing Code Division in regard to an emergency exit.
