Dear S ir: t��e, �►) � t�e�ii,.�� .
This is written in response to the appeal of Frederick J. Blees to
permit use of a building of insufficient area as a 3-plex on the
southwest corner of Burr Street and Case Avenue. This property is
further described as:
North 10 feet of the east 98 feet of Lot 11
and the east 98 feet of Lot 12, Block 9,
Edmund Rice's lst Addition.
This matter was heard by the Board of Zoning on December 17, 1970 at
which time the staff reported that the variances requested involve
34.66% of the square footage and 8% of the frontage. The staff noted
that this site was rezoned to "C" Residence on October 3, 1970 in
order to continue use of the building as a 3-plex.
Mr. Frederick Blees appeared on behalf of the appeal saying that the
structure has been used as a 3-plex for 35 years and that he does not
pl.an to build an apartment on this site. In considering this matter,
the Board discussed parking problems in the area and noted that the
City Council changed the zoning on this property by means of a negative
easement.
Subsequently, the Board heard a motion to recommend approval of this
appeal since it is a hardship case and the structure has existed for
so many years. The motion was seconded and carried by a 3 - 1 vote.
Very trul yours,

1�INUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE BQARD OF ZONING
on Thursday, December 17, I970, aC 2:00 PoMo
PRESENT: Messrsa Ames, Doody, Gadler, and Rutzick of the Board; Messrse Brown,
Rosetter, Ryan, and Sorenson, Airs, Frantzea, and Mrs. Kantorowicz o£
the staff; aad Mra Ken Skrien of the Corporatf.on Counsel's o£fice.
FREDERICR Jo BLEES: An appeal to permit use of a building of insufficient area
as a 3-plex on property Zocated on the southwest corner of �urr Street and Case
Avenuee
Mr> Rosetter sunanarfzed the staff reporr, a part of the fi1e, stating that this
site was rezoned to "C" Residence on October 3, 1970, in order to contznue use
of the building as a 3-plex. The Zonin� Sosrd had recommended denfal of the
rezoninge The existing 3-plex in a "C" Residence District does not have the
required frontage and area. The are� required is 6,9Q0 square fee�, and the
subject site contains 4,508 square fe�t, resulting in a 34.66� variance. The
fronCage reqaired fs SO feet, and the sub�ect site has a frontage of 46 feet on
�ur� Street, which represents an 8% variance. The Traffic axsd Accident Section
noted that present off-street par�Cing can provide only two spaces; they
recoimaended approval if sufficient off-street parking can be pravided,
Appellant Mro Frederick Blees st�ted that the number of cars allowed and the
number of people in the house w+�uldn.'t make any di£ferenc�; tte seid there is
no increase in the useable area in the house. They do not plan to build an
additional apartment or anything of that type. The stx�c�cture h�s been nsed
as a 3-plex for 35 years, and he s�id the point of off-street narking is
irrelevant.
Mr� Rutzick said he feels this is a tt�rdship case 8nd should be approved.
Mrs. Bleesa the appellant's wffe, noted that next seaamer theq will have more
off-street parkingo
Insofar as the rezsrning of this prape�ty, Mro Doorly said even though �tae Zoning
Board moved for deniaZ, he had voted agai.nst the motiono

To clarffy the rezoni�ag, Mr> Ames said the City Councfl changed the zoning on
this property by means of a caegst�v� e�sementa
Mx, Doody �noved for approval of the appesZ, since tte feels it is a h�rdship case
and the stru�cCure has existed for so many yearsa The motion was secoaded by
Mr, Rutzick, �nd varried by ,� 3-1 vote. Aira Gadler voted agaiust the sppeal,
