CASE N0. PROPERTY APPELLANT
7-75-B 535 Asbury Eugene D. Morrison
Request for waiver from St . Paul Legislative Building Code requirement
w�iereby enough window area must be provided to equal 10 sq. ft. ,
designated as B-0-8 on Survey list dated 12/11/74 , and whereby kitchen
in Apt. #1 does not have l00 light and ventialation, because of financial
hardship .
APPEARANCE:
Eugene D. Morrison
PROCEEDINGS :
h7r . Morrison described the basement-level caretaker's apartment where
the window area was cited as inadequate . He said it would be castly
and difficult to enlarge the window space because of the concrete and
brick construction of the wall .
I�ir. Staffenson suggested the installation of an exhaust f an in the
kitchen to vent through the windoti+r area to avoid tearing up the wall .
Mr . Roy pointed out this would not resolve the light problem, but would
provide adequate ventilation.
Mr. Glassman asked if the other items on the list had been corrected.
i�tr . Niorrison said they had not . The list included complete tuckpointing ,
new electrical service and new wiring in all the apartments . To do
all this work would reQuire an expenditure of between $15 ,000 and
$20 ,000 . He said he recognized the need, but doubted he could complete
the work in the time specified. He said he would do as much as possible ,
however.
- Mr. Schwab asked if the broken pipes had been plugged to keep out sewer
gas , a matter Mr. Schwab and Mr . Nlorrison had discussed on December 26 .
Mr. Morrison replied that he had a man hired to do the work, although
it was not completed as yet , but there are no leaks.
Mr . Schwab pointed out the underlined items on the list , which involved
health and safety hazards and were to be corrected before March 4 , 1975 ,
with the balance of the items on the list to be completed by December 4 ,
1975 . He told NIr. Morrison that an inspector would be out about March 3
