PAUL,MINNESOTA 55101 • PHONE: 223-4151 February 29, 1972 Mr. Harry E. Ma.rshall City Clerk Room 386 City Hall Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear Sir: This is written in response to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's appeal to relax density, off-street parking requirements and parking lot setback, and its permit to construct and maintain a 74-car parking lot for a 220-unit low-rent housing project for the elderly, on property located on the north and south sides of Jenks Street between Payne and Edgerton. The legal description for this property is attached to this file. This matter was considered by the Board of Zoning at its February 17, 1972 public hearing. The staff reports on file for both the appeal and the permit were read as well as a letter from the Traffic and Accident section of the Police Department. Representatives of the applicant explained the proposal saying that the building coverage of the site is only 10 percent. Parking will be pro- vided on a ratio of 1 to 3 with plenty of open space which could be converted to parking. They said that according to their experience, a 1 to 3 parking ratio is adequate for peak demand periods. A representative of the Payne Avenue Businessmen' s Association appeared stating his organization is asking that a larger area be provided on the east part of the site as parking for retail customers. Mr. Hart, attorney for the Housing Authority, noted they estimated the business co�unity lost only fifteen on-street parking spaces by the vacation of Jenks Street and said that the Authority could not be ex- pected to provide off-street parking for Payne Avenue merchants. As the Board discussed this matter, one member stated that the area dedicated to the City for a turn-around area for the dead end of Jenks Avenue could just as well be used for parking. Another member ex- pressed recognition of the parking problem but stated that this pro- perty should not be dedicated for public use. After further discussion, the Board heard a motion to recommend approval of both the appeal and the permit. The motion was seconded and carried by a 5 to 0 vote.

The lot depth is 473.42 feet with fraatage only on Edger- toa:.Street� Former lots on this psrcel ia the area s�ere the parkiag lot ia lacmted fronted an Jec�cs Street rather than Edgertoa. The appelleat seeks to e�tabtish e bailding line com�enenrate with the 112-foot deep Iots froatiug on 8dgerton sd�oining this site on the south. This woul.d be about �leven feet. The plan� shaw the parking + lot aetback 27 fe�t from Edgerton Street. Lven if the setback was computed on the baeis of ehe 473.42 foot depth of the parcel, the aetback for the parkiztg lot�.woald only be 23.6 feee. Tharefore, the staft fiAds uo n�ed for sa appeal regarding park- ing lot setback at this time for the plan sut�mitted. Hre Rosetter t�tetn referred to the p�rking permit staff report and noted that the plan �eeta design st�ndards providiag the requiresl parking srea per car aad wfth adequa�t� m�neuveriag area. The parking area and high-rise hmve acceas from Edgerton Street bp a horeeshoe drive. The driveway w�.dth at the property line scales 26 feet ac� tapers to tweaty feet for maet of ite Ien�th. The parkittg area abuts sn a12ep along the aorth property liae. Cetch basina �re locat�ed in the parking area and driveways for drainage. Po�red concrete cnrhs snd guttesa define the parktng asea and driveway. Mro 8oeetter then read portioas of a letCer dae had received fram C�ptsin 3yrkas, Traffic Saperiatendent for the Department of Public Safety. He read from the letter as folL�ows: "Ther� are a aumber of sefety concerns involved fn the d�velopment of the pro- poaed parking lot.

He said he dida't believe a plan had been sent to Capt. Jyrka�. Cepte Jyrkas mede reference to the closing of 3enks and Edgerton but Mr. 8osetter said he thiaks anly Jenks Street !s being vacated. Mr. Hart, representfng the HRA, said he would try to explain Capt. Jqrkas' report. Only a portion of Jenke and none of Edgertore wculd be vacated, he eaid. Mre �les Sorensoa� architect for the 'Hxll, pointed out that Jeaks 8treet will run nader the denelopmem� as a pedestrian waik. Fie also noted that the Board had previoualy approved the rezoniag for the development. The building itself will occupy 10'�G of the site. �3ere will be a 2 to 3 ratio with plenCy of open area that canld be uaed for additional p�rking. Mr. Hart aaid the building occupies oaly 14� of the property aad Mr, Sorenson pofnted out �6¢ open spuce oa the siCe pl.au. Mro Aart pointed out that theq would rather hnve open apace remsin green than have it bl.acktopped. Mro McPartlin said thet none of the other HRA developments hene so many homes this close to them. Mr. Hart replied thst many of them do and mentfoned several that are in the middle of reaidential areas. Mrs. Cochraae noted tha� there is sane movement against isolating older people in spsrtments such as tht,s. She asked £f there wonld be adequate parking apace should the develop�ment open up to fsmilies. Mr. Hart replied that these are aIl one-'bedroom nnits and not the type reated by larger families. Mrs. Cochrane Chea pointed out that in the future the buildings msy hsve to be �emodeled bec�use of the growiag oppoeition to grouping elderly people together in these bnildings. Mr. Hsrt eaid the elderlq are not �gainst this type of development. The Phalen Community Council and Payne Aveau.e Basiaess men are represented here today in favor of it. The ARA, has been before the Cocmcil and thia Zoning Board due to the rezouing for the plsn. Othez than s Ietter from a lady Fiho is concerned about the rea�oval of on•street parki'ng on Jeaka, there appears to be no opposition. The HxA has done a survey in the area reg�rdi�g off-atreet parking and has fouad that, at the height of demand, a one t� three ratia i� �dequate. Ae added that � number of homes in thia area hed to be Acquired to provide � efte big eaough to handle this project. Same 20 units �rere zemoved which pr�riously used oa-street parkiag sp8ce. Mr. Jfm Bergman, Payne Avemte Bnsiaegsm�►'s Associatiaa, stated ehey are asking thst a larger area be provided for parking oa the esst side of the development because Psyne Aveaue fs becomfag landlocked. He s�id the plan shows only a "turn around" oa the east side with no parkiag spaces and they are very �ch coaceraed about losing any more on-street parking apaces. He asked that more �xark�ng space be provided for retail cnstomere. Mr. Sart eaid thet according to an esti�ate. there would be a losa of fifCeen ou-etreet parkiag spaces that might be uaed for business activitieg. Ae ssid he dida't thiek the RRA could provide off-etreet parkiug spaces for Paqne Avenue mexchaate aad added thst Mre Bergmun wss asking them to give off-street parking for private homeowners. , �HWSING At�ID REIDEVSLOPMENT AUTHOBITY (Page 3j Febrw�ry 17, 1972 Mr. Bergmea said his organizatiou is in favor of the high-rise but they would lik.e to hsve same parking provided here, at l�ast for two businesaea adjoinin8 oa the east. Mro Sorenson said. aa he nadersCande the situatiaa, it is imposeible for the HRA to dedfcate to th� Citq any more land than they have without grossly violatin,g the laad area to density ratio. The design was carefully looked at With St, Paul traffic plannere snd �hey advised HRA ehat there ahould aot be Farkiug in the JsQke turn-around. Mr. Bergman said that twelve uwnthe ago, ss preaident of the association, he had made e request that more parking space be provided and siace thaC time the srchitecte have aot found an answer to the prablem. It appears that every effort has not been put forth to solve this problem. He smid they had seen only one plan. However, if this is the way it muat be to go thxough with the housing, they will no longer resi�t siuce they are fn favox of the pro�ect. Mra Aart auggested th$t if parkfag is a problem there, the ARA fs being asked to mske an over-flow parking lot for the businesses. Mre McPartlin said he was aot arguing about aay obligation an the part of H�tA to pre- vide parking but he doesn't emderstan,d why tbe area on the east must be used oaly for a traffic turn-around when it could be us�d for parking. Mre Hart said the C�.ty Traffic Sngineer wanted it there beceuse the people driving up Jeaks ma� not see that this is at dead-ead atreet and may need to turn arouad there. This is a matter the Traffic Eagineer a�ust solve. Mrs. Cochrane said she spmpathizea with the parking problem but she doeen't feel thie property should be dedicated for public c�se. Mr. Jim Goalet of the architect's office sAid that the parking needs of the business dietrict should ag�in be presented �o [he appropriate Gitp offices for further consid- er�tion. Mr. Bergmaa comnented that there msy be ao parking along 3eaks in the fu�ure becauee it conld become aothiag more th�n a service lane for thQ high-rise. Mr. Hert replied that there would n.ot be that much sQrvice traffic in connection with a high-rise for the elderly. Mrs. Cochrane asked if anyone else had anything to add. Mr. Sasetter s�id t'hat the plans presented to the Board by the applic�tnt today do not correspond with the plaus submitt�d to the staff. Mro Soreason informed him that the plaa submitted to the staff superseded his plan which he had displayed to the Bo�rd for inform�tion only. In aaswer to Mrs. Cochrane'a er�xlies cryestion concerning the ma�cimum amount af park- iag vhich could be provf.ded oa the site with the building, Mr. 8osetter said th�t he Md Lsid ont s theoreticel scheme snd got a msxiun�n of about 250 cars. Mr. Ames moved approval for the rela�cation of density and for approval of the parking permit because this is in conformance with other similiar pro,jects the Board has heard in the pas t.

The legal description of the property is shown on the attached site plan drawing. The existing properties consist of duplex structures, single family structures, and vacant land formerly occupied by the Ericsson School. These properties are presently being acquired and demolished by the Authority. The pro- posed use of the property is high density residential. The purpose of this appeal is to eliminate unnecessary expenditures of public monies for excess land purchases and parking lot improvements for this project for the low-income elderly. In accordance with section 64.03.i. of the Legislative Zoning Code, the Authority hereby requests a variance of the following sections of the code: 1. Density, Section 60.24.b. The Authority requests authorization to provide not less than 590 sq. ft. of lot area per dwelling unit, as has been permitted in the past for multi-story structures for low�income elderly. This density figure is consistent with the proposed density for hi-rise residential construc- tion as established by the Comprehensive P1an of the City of St. Paul. The Authority proposes to construct 220 dwelling units on a land area of 131,533 square feet, which will result it� 597.9 sq. ft. of land area per dwelling unit. �.. . With the hi-rise nature of the propose3�construction, the total lot area covered by the building will be 13,000 sq. ft. , resulting in a site coverage of only 10.0 percent. The Authority contends that this limited site coverage resulting from the physical nature of hi-rise construction is one factor warranting waiver of density limitations.

'-� . . .. • i The Honorable Ma.yor and December 27, 1971 City Council Page 2 Another factor relates to the number of persons to be housed on the site. �,11 the dwelling units in the building, with the exception of the caretakers, are one-bedroom units specifically designed for the elderly. The nucnber of persons housed in the building will be considerably less than is normally encountered. In other similar buildings operated by the Authority there is a ratio of 1.2 persons per dwelling unit as compared with the City ,average of approximately 2.7 persons per rental dwelling unit. The Authority feels that the density waiver requested is reasonable, and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. 2. Off street parking, Section 60.23 (3), (a). The Authority requests a variance from this section which requires 1'� off street parking spaces for each dwelling unit. The Authority has been providing at least one parking space for every three dwelling units at eleven existing hi-rise buildings for the elderly. A recent survey in- dicates tenant ownership of approximately 12 automobiles for each 100 apartments for the elderly in our existing buildings. The Authority has found that peak parking occurs in the afternoon on Sundays and Holidays and by providing one on-site parking space for every three apartments, we are able to adequately accommodate tenant's and visitor's automobiles. The Authority requests a variance of the zoning code to permit the construction of one parking space for each three apartments. An "Application for Special Council Use Permit", together with plans of the proposed parking lot, are also submitted herewith for your approval. 3. Parkin� Lot set-back, Section 60.23 (5), (c). The Authority requests a variance of this Section which states that parking facilities shall not extend closer to a street than one half of the set-back required for a building. The building set-back requirement is 10% of the depth of the lot in C resident districts. The depth of this site is approximately 473 feet and extends from the east property line of Edgerton Street to approxima.tely 120 feet west of the west property line of Payne Avenue. The Authority requests that the set-back requirements be made applicable to the single lot depth of approxima.tely 112 feet (this being the dimension of the 2 properties fronting Edgerton Street in Block 16, Arlington Hills Addition, adjacent to and south of the hi-rise site). This would result in a parking lot set-back of approximately eleven feet, 3 inches which would be consistent with normal set-back requirements. Enclosed is our check in the amount of $72. This amount includes a $20 filing fee for the zoning appeals and $52 for the parking lot permit fee. Sincerely, � ��'�,� �� Edward N.

STAFF INVESTIGATION & REPORT; Date: February 10, 1972 B y: PLR A. HISTORY: This property was rezoned from "B" Residential to "C" Residential on August 9, 1971. B. PROPOSAL: 'I'he appellant proposes to develop the property with a high rfse for the elderly with 220 dwelling units and a parking lot for 74 cars. C. AMOUNT OF VARIANCE: 1) Density: the letter of appeal states that 220 dwelling units are planned for this "C" Residentially zoned site con- taining 131,533. This area is 88,467 square feet short or 59.79% of that required, so the variance is 40.21%. 2) Parkin� ratio: The plan calls for 74 parking stalls. This is 256 stalls less than the 330 stalls required under a 12 to 1 ratio. The percent of variance is 77.58%, D. ESTA$LISH A NEW BUILDING LINE FOR THE PARKING LOT SET-BACK: The parking lot setback is required under the Code to be 2 of that required for a building which is 10% of. the lot depth in a "C" Residential district. The lot dc�pth is 473.42 feet with frontage only on Edgerton Street. rormer Lots on this parcel in the area where the parking lot is Located fronted on Jenks Street rather than Edgerton. The appellant seeks to establish a building line commensurate with the 112 foot deep lots fronting on Edgerton adjoining this site on the soutti. This would be about eleven feet. The plans show the parking 1ot setback 27 feet from Edgerton Street. Even if the setback was computed on the basis of the 473.42-foot depth of the parcel, the setback for the parking lot would only be 23.6 feet. Therefore, the staff finds no need for an appeal reagrding parking lot setback at this time for thc� r�lan submitted. r. AR1,A ZONTNG: The frontage along Payne Avenue is zoned Conanercial. West of thc� Commercial zoning ad�jacent to the subject property the zoning is "B" Kesidence. F. SITE CONDITIONS: The sfte is developed with old residential structures, one to four-family use; one 4-unit building on the north side of Jenks was remodeled recently and is in good condition. G. AREA CONDITIONS: The area is developed with old residential structures, . mostly one and two-family, in fair to poor condition. The average lot size is about 5000 square feet. 9.
