Brown SUBJECT: Don Rieck Appeal Resolution, Plan for Parking Lot DATE: 3/17/71 The attached plan for a parking lot located on the southeast corner of Pascal Street and Sherburne Avenue meets the established design standards for parking lots. This plan would appear to fill the requirements stated to Dr. Heiden by Ken Skrien as necessary to publish the resolution. ATB:gaf �O ' � ., . . BOARD OF ZONING, CITY OF ST. PAUL 1010 COMMERCE BUILDING • ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 • PHONE: 223-4151 January 11, 1971 Mr. Harry E. Marshall City Clerk Room 386 City Hall Dear Sir: This is written in response to the appeal of Don Rieck to allow a Commercial parking lot in a "C" Residence District on property located on the southeast corner of Pascal Street and Sherburne Avenue. This property is further described as: Lots 13, 14, and 15, Block 29, Syndicate No. 5 Addition. This matter was first heard at the December 17, 1970, Board of Zoning meeting. The staff report noted that a similar appeal was previously heard by the Board of Zoning and City Council. The last official action in that matter was denial of the appeal by the City Council on June 25, 1970. The staff report also noted that there had been a question as to whether this appeal could be heard in view of recent state enabling legislation which prohibits a variance as to use. A 1ega1 opinion from the Corporation Counsel's office, however, states that this type of appeal may be heard. The appellant, Mr. Don Rieck, and his attorney, Mr. Sidney Abramson, appeared on behalf of the appeal. Mr. Abramson showed a drawing of the proposal to the Board, explaining that the site is presently rough-graded and chained-off. He explained that the appellant employs over 300 people who need a place to park in order to ease the traffic problem in the area. Mr. Rieck said the proposed parking lot would help the neighborhood by getting cars off the street. A number of area residents appeared in opposition to the appeal. Their statements expressed concern over the safety of children in the neighborhood, fears that this type of proposal would lead to commercial intrusion into their neighborhood, and that this type of proposal would deteriorate the residential character of their neighborhood. It was stated that there is no parking problem for residents and that parking lots would be a menace to the neighborhood and bring in unwanted elements. Mr. Merrill Robinson, representing the Hamline Community Association, also appeared in opposition. Mr. Robinson noted the single-family residential character of the neighborhood, and stated that this appeal would change this character. He said that type of proposal would eventually be detrimental to life in St. Paul. The staff noted they had received one letter which f�vored the proposal but which suggested a fence be erected around the parking lot. The staff also acknowledged the receipt of one letter in opposition. In considering this matter, the Board questioned the availability of on-street parking in the area and discussed the threat of commercial encroachment into the residential neighborhood. Subsequently, the Board heard a motion to recommend denial of the appeal, which was seconded and carried by a vote of 4-0. Very urs, /�"" !l� �'�"t��Z"�-i' R J.

This property which has been legally described above is located on the southeast corner of Sherburne Avenue and Pascal Street. Previously, our client has applied for permission to use this property which has been zoned "C" for the purpose of establishing thereon a 30-car parking lot to serve the commercial building at the northeast corner of Pascal and University Avenue. This property is presently vacated. Three homes formerly occupied this property but have been removed. It is now desired that a parking lot be established upon these vacated lots. This appeal is made necessary by the fact that commercial parking lots are ne�t among the permitted uses allowed in "C" residential districts. This appeal is made pursuant to Zoning Code, Chapter 64, Section . 03. Finally, enclosed is our draft in the amount of $20. 00 to cover the appeal involving residential property.
