BOARD OF ZONING �� CITY OF SAINT PAUL �"'"� OFFICE OF THE MAYOR CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT VINCENT M. COUGHLIN PLANNING COORDINATOR March 27, 1973 Mr. Harry E. Marshall City Clerk Room 386 City Hall Dear Sir: This is written in response to the appeal of Northwestern Bell Telephone Company to allow public utility use in an "A" Residential district on property located on the south side of Juliet Avenue between Fairview and Prior Avenues. This property is further described as: Except the westerly 5 feet thereof, Lot 1, Lampert's Subdivision Underwood's Acre Lots and the northerly 1/2 of the vacated alley accruing thereto. This matter was first heard at the August 3rd, 1972, Board of Zoning public hearing at which time attorneys for both the appellant and residents of the area requested a delay. The Board granted this request and similar requests on September 7th and on October 5th. Subsequently, the matter was withdrawn and later resubmitted. The Board of Zoning heard this matter again on February 15, 1973, at which time the staff said they would prefer to use this variance procedure than rezone the property. The appellant's attorney answered questions of the Board members. The neighbor's attorney stated his clients are no longer opposed to the proposal. The Board heard a motion to recoa�end approval. The motion was seconded and carried by a vote of 4 to 0. Very truly yours, . � JC�� c PETER J.

Witte: This will confirm our conversation of today regarding the plans of the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company for the property at 1838 Juliet Avenue, 5t. Paul. The Telephone Company agreed to purchase this property to satisfy the residents of the com.•n=anity who felt there might be some objection to having the proposed Telephone Company build- ing addition and off-street parking area immediately next door. It has been the intention of the Telephone Company to ho].d the property during the period of construction and then dispose of it. During the interim period, it was our plan to rent the home to a responsible tenant. � You can be assured that the Telephone Company has no desire to get into the real estate business. The purchase of this property was necessitated by the circumstances and it is our plan to sell the property as soon as possible, and we need not necessarily wait for completion of our building project to do so. � The Telephone Company will sell the property as soon as market conditions permit and when a respansibie buyer can be . located. I anticipate this could be any time from now until completion of the building project. If the property is rented out during the construction period, we shall do our best to find a responsible tenant. I trust the foregoing correctly summarizes our dis- cussion. If you have any further question, please let me know.
