Marshall �,��5 � City Clerk Room 386 City Hall Dear Sir: This is written in response to the appeal of James Shelton, Jr. to relax the frontage and area requirements on property located on the south side of Fuller Avenue between Milton and Chatsworth Streets. This property is further described as: Lot 8, Block 5, Milton's Addition. This matter was first heard at the November 5, 1970 Board of Zoning meeting at which time the staff reported that the Comprehensive Plan and the NDP plan of January, 1969 both recommended one and two family use of this area. The staff noted the lack of a physical hardship and summarized that the need for housing should not defeat the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code and Renewal Plan. A letter from the Model Cities Neighborhood Planning Council was noted which recommended denial of the appeal. A letter from the Housing Authority was also presented which recommended denial. After hearing the appellant and discussing the matter, the Board recommended denial of the appeal by a vote of 4 - 0. On November 25, 1970, the Council returned this matter to the Board of Zoning for reconsideration, in view of the fact that the Housing Authority recommended denial of this appeal after being granted a similar appeal itself. At the December 17, 1970 Board of Zoning meeting, the staff read a letter submitted by the Housing Authority to clarify its position as questioned by the Council. The letter stated that the two cases in question are not similar. The letter, a part of the file, presented five items in which thetiao cases differed: Frontage, density, character of the block, site conditions, and adjacent open space. The letter con- cluded by stating that variance requests have been judged individually on the basis of reasonableness and the effect on the itrnnediate neighborhood. Mr. Hart appeared on behalf of the Housing Authority to answer questions fram the Board. He reiterated the points presented in the letter. � L.� '�{„�„.�.`�.. _1_ � o �� ,>> , � . • - Mr. Harry E. Marshall (continued) January 5, 1971 Subsequently, the Board heard a motion to recommend denial because the - � variances are too great and would be a detriment to the neighborhood.

Paul, Minr�esota 55101 Dear Dr. Heiden: You requeated a ,jusCitication by the Housing AuChority of its recommendation that the Zoning Bo�rd deny the appeal of .Jamee Shetton, .Tr, to relax Che fronCc��;e and density t'�qt�iremente on property located on the south side of FUller Avenue between Mi.ltoci and C.h.ztsworr.h Streete. The requeat for �uatification was raised in view of the density wnivers �z-anted the Authority on August 22, 1970 to move two duplexes to the soUth side o£ Iglehart Street between Oxford and Lexington Avenue. The justification for the Authority's position with respect to the Shelton appeal is that the two cases are not sirailar. In this regard, the following points are made: 1) The Au�hority made no request for relaxation of the f3.fty foot frontage requirement. Mr. Shelton is asking for relaxation to a forty foot frontage. 2) The tiltA requested variance as to denaity of 4?.S feet Le.avinK reaidual property of 5,575 square feet, while Shelton is requesting a denaity waiver of 1,100 aquere feet leaving a diiplex s3.t� 4,9(�J squAre feet. 3) The Authority moved two duplexes into the mixed-use block which included an apartment tiouse immediately to the west of the duplex sites. In Mr. Shelton's case, the block involved contains primarily single family dwellings. 4) The Shelton proposal would result in the existence of three buildings on two lota. The lot he awns innnediately abutti.ng the lot on which he wiehes to move Lhe duplex now coneatna two sin};le fami ly dwtsllin�a� one facin}� out onto the a11e.y. � `�� i , . _ .. � i � . , .. � Anthnny A. Danna, Henry R. Thomas, Rosalie L. F��rler, pivillt� F. Anderson, Donald P. Del Fiacro, Victor J, ��desco, Kenneth i. L�,�nch � . ; , . � " Dr. Noland Heiden Page 2 Decrmber 17 , 1970 The placing of a duplex immediately adjacent would create severe problems of denaity and overc�rcnading. By comparison, note the site plans preaenCe�i by the Authority to both the Zoning Boar.d and Council showing the layout of the sites on which it moved its duplexea. Adequate yard area ia available together with off-street parking and adequate eide arc_as are prwided for. (5) The application by the Authority had the approval of r_he Model Cities Committee which Committee indicated that while it was opposed in general to density waivers, it felt that the existence of the open area and recreation facilities immediately across IgleharC Street at Oxford Playground more than compensated for any denaity conaiderationa that might arise on thP AuthoriCy'e movt� of the two duplexee. It is my understanding that the Zoning Board and Council in the past have granted n�ttnerous variances, always �judging each case on its own merits with respect to the reasonableness of the variance request and its consequences upon the immediate nei�hborhood. Accordingly, the writer feels that the Shelton appeal must be considered on its own merits.

Marshall City Clerk Room 386 City Hall Dear Sir: This is written in response to the appeal of James Shelton, Jr: to relax the frontage and area requirements on property located ot� `the south side of Fuller Avenue between Milton and Chatsworth Streets:`'F�PThis property is further described as: Lot 8, Block 5, Milton's Addition. This matter was considered at the November 5, 1970, Board of Zoning meeting. The staff report was presented which pointed out that the proposal is to move a two-family structure onto this property. In a "B" Residence District, a duplex requires a site with a minimum frontage of 50 feet and a minimum area of 6,000 square feet. This property has a frontage of 40 feet, 10 feet short (20%) of the required minimum and a depth of 121.6 feet, resulting in an area of 4,864 square feet, which is 1,136 square feet, or 19% less than the minimum area. The staff reported that the surrounding area is developed with 1 and 2-family residences. The adjoining lot to the east is occupied by two residential structures, a single-family and a duplex owned by the same party as the subject lot. The staff also noted that the Comprehensive Plan and the NDP Renewal Plan of January, 1969, both recommend 1 and 2-family use of this area. The staff noted the lack of a physical hardship and summarized that the need for housing should not defeat the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code and Renewal Plan. A letter from the Model Cities Neighborhood Planning Council was noted which expressed sympathy with the desire for new housing in the area, but which pointed out the degree of variance requested and the unusual arrangement of the houses on the adjoining lot which .compels that special consideration be given to the situation. The Model Cities letter, therefore, recommended denial of the appeal. A letter from the Housing and Redevelopment Authority was also noted which expressed the opinion that issuance of this appeal will change the character of the block and that such change would be detrimental to a major renewal objective-- the elimination of over-crowding and blighting influences. The HRA letter, therefore, transmitted a recommendation of denial for this appeal. ,. �� '�,�,, "'� � -1- �� O �`� � J� � . , . . Mr. Harry E. Marshall (continued) November 24, 1970 Mr. James Shelton, Jr. appeared for the appeal and stated that the area is not predominantly single-family. He said he owns the house on the adjoining lot next to the alley and would tear it down if required as a condition. He said that the Housing Authority had approved the moving of the replacement structure. The Board, in discussing this matter, noted that an effort is being made to upgrade the Summit-University area and also noted the negative reports from the Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the Model Cities Agency. The Board of Zoning, therefore, by a 4-0 vote, recommends denial of this appeal. Very truly yours, `,�' -, c�� `i �� :� j�� PET��. IE TA Secreta y, oard of Zoning � PJM:gaf PLR Z.
