PROPERTY � ' ' APPELLANT ��C7��o 40-76-H 561 Van Buren Ave . . Harold A. Petschauer (15 units) � by � Louise Miller 0'Neil , Attorney SU�JE CT: ReQuest Waiver of St . Paul Legislative Code requirements as designated in �urvey Letter of 6/Z2/76 so as to obtain Certificate of Occupancy because of the extent and high cost of repairs on a pronerty which HR.A had indicated they intend to acquire and tear down . APPEARANCE: Flarold Petschauer Louise Miller 0'Neil PROCEEDINGS : Mrs. 0'veil presented copies of correspondence between HRA and the St. Paul City Architect, dated in the month of October, 1971, in which HRA indicate d interest in Mr. Petschauer' s property an d requested the city to "spare Mr. Petschauer � considerable expense' on the nroperty in the meantime ." At that time, Mr. Petschauer was in process of having the property rehabilitated according to a sch.edule set un by Minnesota Housing �inance Agency. Because of HRA' s indication of interest, he stopped further work, �rith about $12 , 000 worth of rehab work left to 5e done. Rehabilitation would now cost $22 , 7I0, according to a list of estimates Mrs . OrNeil distributed to Board members , including $6, 650 v�orth of work required by the city,which was not on the HRA rehabilitation schedule, 'for stairwell enclosures and rebuilding a fire - escape . She said nothing has accurred to indicate that HRA has abandoned . its plans to acquire the property. On behalf of Mr. Petschauer, she was therefore rec{uesting a variance until such time as HRA would acquire the building. Frank Staffenson said his department had requested a report from HRA on the status of 561 Van Buren in their plans . In a letter dated December 23, 1976, the HRA praject planner wrote that the agency had indicated interest in 1971, but in 1972 , they had informed Mr. Petschauer that the property had been dropped from their program. Again, in P�Iay of 1974 and August of 1975, HRA informe d Mr. Petsch auer that it was unlikely there would be any acc{uisition of the property, due to lack of funding. Mr. Staffenson said it was the contention of the Code Enforcement Division that, in view of the many problems in the building, shared baths , severe electrical problems , and fire-safety factors , somethin g had to be done . There was no possibility of HRA action for at least the next three years , and his department was unwilling to allow the situation to continue . Chairman Wozniak asked Mr. Petschauer if, leaving the shared bathroom situation aside , he would be willing to complete the work required on the remaining items , particularly those that presented a hazard to the tenants . The chairman also pointed out that if the shared bath.room requirement should be waived, it would be in effect only for that period of time that Mr. Petschauer owned the property, and this stipulation would be recorded by the Register of Deeds . 561 Van Buren -4-L ��� '` 2/8/77 - Meeting No. 126 ' ' Cassette Tape No. 138 PROCEEDINGS: (continued) ' ��g"7�o Mr. Petschauer agreed that the stairwell enclosures shauld be installed and the fire escape repaired immediately. He said he had already enclosed one stairwell . However, due to difficulty in obtaining a loan , he did not tliink he could complete the remaining work for another two or three ye ars . Mr. Heider suggested that the appellant should meet with Frank Staffenson to determine the items most critical to health and safety and to set up a scFiedule of priorities. Mr. Staffenson pointed out three items , Nos . 58, 59, and 60 on the Survey Letter, which should be done immediately, plus the electrical work on �eh�.ch Mr. Petschauer had already obtained bids . He felt the three items , providing two means of exit for each apartment, enclosin g south stairway with one-hour fire-resistive materials , and provide support to groun3 for north exterior stairway and continue stairs to grade and the electrical work could be done within sixty days . He was willing to allow another two months to complete the plumbing items , other than the shared bathroom situation. He told Mr. Petschauer he should see George Smolik, Senior Electrical Inspector, to work out the schedule on the electrical work. �OARD ACTION: I�Ir. Heider moved that a waiver be granted on the shared bathroom reauire- ment of the St. Paul Legislative Code, on condition that no apartment sharing a bathroom facility with another is occupied by more than one tenant. Further, that the electrical work and Items No. 58, 59 , and 60 designated in the letter dated 6/22/76 trom the Housing Code Enforcement Division be completed within sixty days (April $, 1977) ; and that the plumbing items not related to the shared bathroom situation be completed within a period of six months (August 8, 1977) . Chairman Wozniak asked to amen d the motion to include the stipulation that there be no more than four rental units on the third floor of the building. Mr. Tieso seconded. MOTION CARRIED AND SO ORDERED.
