Marshall City Clerk 386 City Hall St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear Sir: This is written in response to the application for a permit of the Burger King Corporation to install a 40-car parking lot to be used in conjunction with a Burger King Restaurant, on property located on the northwest corner of Fry Street and University Avenue. This property is further described as: Lots 25, 26, 27, and 28, Block 3, Brightwood Park Addition. This matter was heard at the August 5, 1971 Board of Zoning public hearing at which time the staff noted that the plan meets design standards except for the driveway width and that this change had been requested in revised plans . Mr. Richard Grayson, attorney for the Burger King leasee, reviewed the history of the site and stated he would assume the minor change in drive- way width is agreeable to the Corporation. Mr. Merrill Robinson appeared in opposition saying that he has been urging the adoption of a special section of the Zoning Ordinance for fast-food drive-in restaurants. He noted the number of restaurants in that area now and said that this use would adversely affect the adjoining resi- dential neighborhood and eventually the entire City. Several residents of the area expressed concern over the on-street parking situation along University Avenue. They said they would like to have the permit granted with the condition that Burger King employees park in this lot. Mr. L. Redlin, a Burger King representative, stated he did not feel that their Campany should accept this condition. He said that most of their employees are hired from within walking distance. The Board heard a motion to recommend approval of the permit. The motion was seconded and passed by a vote of 4-0. Subsequent to the Zoning Board hearing, the staff received a request from �1 G� � �.. �O � ✓ V , � , � Harry E. Marshall, City Clerk -2- August 31, 1971 the Highway Department Hydraulics Engineer that the site be graded in such a way that only half the site be drained on the surface to the street.

BUILGER KING CORYORATION: A permit ta fcestaLl a 40-car parking Lot ta be used in conjunction with a Barger King �testaurant on property located on the northwest cornex of Fry Street and University Avenae. Mr. Roaetter read the sCaff report, a part of the file, and r�oted the plan meets a11 the deaign standerds for ehis type of facility except the drive- way widths. The applicant haa beea requested to increase the width from ?.5 feet to ?6 feet. N�r. Richard Grayson, 5?.0 8ndfcott Building, noted he is the attorney for �he Kemper family, who are owners of the property involved. They are not actually the applicant but are the fee owners of Che property who have aigned a lease agreement with Burger King. He said the Kempers have oc,med the property for a number of yeara and it has been used as a parkiag lot, a used-car lot and a new-car showroom. AbouC 15 yeare ago, the property wae leased to the W� Fo Smith Tire Company and tires were manufactured inthe building. The intended use is noC a substantisl departure from the use that has existed for the past 47 years. Mr, Bxown of the staff noted that plans were sent to the representative of Burger King the latter part of 2ast week requesting only th� driveway width change, end the staff has not- received a re�aly from them yet. The represen- tative said he would assume tht�t s one-foot revision in the driveway width would automatically be added and they wiLl consent to do it. Mr. Gta�san noted he had tslked to the de�eloper and he has stated that whateve�c changes would be necessary would be no problem for them. Appearing in opposition was Mr. Merrill Robinson, repreaenting the Hsmline Community Association and the Association of St. �'aul Ca�unities. Mr, Robinson said concerning the pxoposaZ, "Who needs it?" Mr. MePartlin at�ted he did not feel thia question was relevant. Mr. Robinson nated he hes urged rep- resentatives of the Associatian of St. Paul Co�nunities for more than two years to i.ncorporate a special section in the Zoning Ordinance covering fest- food dnve-in restaurants. Minneapolis .sdopt�d such an. ordinance which restricts the location of fast-food drive-in restaurants in neighborhoods that are primarily reaidential. University Avenue is a commercial street but the adjoining street, Sherbarne Avenue, is a residential street. An esteblishment such as this has sn affect on the ad�oining residential character of the neighborhood in every caae. There a�ready exists 1?-13 restaurents or food establishments �vith�n a three-block area in the vicinity of University and Snelling. Directly acXOSS the atree� is an Embex�s Restaurant; E Black Steer Drive-In is down Che street; furthe� down the atreet is Porky's Drive-Zn. The Midwey Shopping Center has s�veral ea�ing pl8ces which is two blocks from the intended site. Once a fast-food development fs established in an area, he said, a patrern develops. Mr. Robinson cited aeveral other ereas of ehe City as examples. He stated that a fast-food drive-in Lowers the entire character of the neighborhood. The effect on the residential areas and the future welfare of this City is overwhelming. Mr. Robinson noted he �BURGER KIIZG CORPORAT�ON (coatinued) Aagust 5, 1971 has brought thia_subjeet befor� tbe ZaniAg Board time �ad time agafn. The ms�or portion of khe probl�ne� have been with parking lots. Thi.s irks private home owaera more than �nything. � Mr. Robinson urged ttte Board not Co conaider gust the imm�ediate poseib}.e affects buC to consider what this sort of thiag does to tb�e entire Citq of St. Paul over a period .of time. Mr. J. Libermaa, 1639 Univeraftp Avenue, sCated he is noC opposed to the Burger Kfng but wauld like the e�mployeee to park in their own 1Qt rather than Ch� street. A parkit�$ pxablem exfsts fn the area now snd the Burger King wigl iacrease the problem. Mx. Liberman said he would like to have Fry 3treet. ad3o.ining the propoaed site, posted €or two-hour parkiug. With �he adve�at of the Burger R�ng, 17� feet of parkiag oa Vaiversity Avenue will be ioat. Mr. Ames esid Mr. L�ber�n should voice this opiaioa te Che Cfty CounciL as the Zoning Board �s� only conceraed with the pazking lot mpplic�tion. A represea�tative :of the Burger King Corpor�tion stated it is not the policy to have employeea park tn the lot; howeves, if iC ia .neceseary, tttey will be iaatructed to park in the loz. Mr. Ames aeked how maay empltiyeea work at one t4.me and Che Burger King represe+�tative replied 8-12 on one ahift at m t3.me. Tha repreaentati.ve noted they 1.ike to employ people fram the neigteborhoods thac the restaur:nts are tocated ia and thia cauld mean manq of them wouLd be within walking distance sad would not be driving to work. Mr. Charlea Nowicki. L670 Sh�rburne Avene�e, said he made a conat of cars on Sheiburae. Snelling snd Aldiae on Friday mnd there ivere 64 caxe psrlced in that area. Theze are eeven spartment bexildings in �a two-block erea �nd only one of them provides. off•street parkin$. Mr. Ne�rricki would like to hsve t.he permit ok�yed with the atipulation that the B�nger King employeea psrk in their ow� Lot snd not oa the street. Smployees of establishments on Universfty Aveaue park on 3hexburae; the Burger King will eliminste the corner parkfng arese. Mr. Ls Rsdlin, a B�arger Riag repreaeatstive, stated he •does not .feel it w�ould be possible to ssy that Barger Ring employees must park on 'their own loC aad not the street. Nl.nety-five percent of the e mployees they hire for their reatauraata live wfthin a i�en-block radina. �te said &trger Riag does lilce to work with the comoa�nity as�d will talce car� of any problems that erise. Four perceat of the payroll is dedicated to clesning the exterfor aad interior of the establishments and a four-block radius 1s also cleaned, he said. �ir. �dlia said th�t Burger Ring has redeaigaed their buildiaga �and they are •�ousidered to be the most advanced fn enq restaurant deaign. Mr. Ames noted that the City Council should be preaented with the idea of having the Burgez K�.ng employeea perk oa their own LoC. Mr. McPartlin noted the Traffic Burena will regulate the psrking. Mr. G�aysan noCed ttaat with the advene of the B�arger Ring, there wi1L be fewer employees ia the area thaa before because of the type of establishment. -�?- � ' 1 • • BURGER KING CORPORATION (continued} Auguet 5, 1971 It was moved by Mr. McPaztlin and seconded by Mro MBnsnr to recon�end approval of Che parking lot permft.

University Avenue is a commercial street but the adjoiniag street, Sherburne Avenue, is � residential stx�eet, An eatablishment su��h as this has an affect on the adjoiniag residential character af the nelghborhood 3n every case. There already exists I?.-13 restaurants or food establishments within a three-block area in the vicinity of University end Snelling. D3.rectly across the atreet ia an Embers Res+tauraat; e Black Steer D�rive-In is down the street; further down the atreet is Porky's DrKve-In. 2he Midway Shopping Center has several eating places which is two blocks from the intended site. Once a fast-food development is estab}.ished in an area, he said, a pattern develops. Mr. Robinaon cited aeveral other ar�as of the City sa exsmples. He stated thet a £est-food drive-in lowers the entire charactex of t�e neighborhood. The effect on the residential areas aad the future weZfare of this City is overwhelming. r2r. Robinaon noted he - • _ �. � - ,, . , 'BURGER KING CORPORATION (continued) August 5, 1971 has brought thie sabject before the Zoning Board time sad time agein. The ma�or portion of the problems have been wfth parking lots. This irka private home owners more than anything. Mr. Robiuson urged the Board not to coasider just the iam�ediate possible affects but to consider what this sort of thing does to the entire City of St. Paul ov�er 8 period of time. Mr. J� Libermaa, 1639 University Avenue, stated he is not opposed to the Burger �ing but would Zike the employees to park in their own lot rather than the street. A parking problem exists in the area now and the Burges King will increase t:he problem. Mr. Libermsn said he would like to have Fry Street, adjoining the proposed site� posted for two-hour parking. With the advent of the Burger King, 174 feet of parking oxc University Avenne will be los t. Mre Ames aaid Mr. LAbern�an should voice thia opinioa to the City Council ae the Zoning Board ia only concerned with the parki�ag lot application. A repreBentative of the Burger King Corporation stated it is not the policy to have employees park in the lot; however, if it ia neces�ary, they will be instructed to par;�C in the lot. Mr, Ames asked how many emplciyees work aC orce time and the Burger King representative replied 8-1?, on one shift st a time. The repr�esentative noted they like to employ people from the neigt�borhoods that the restauranta are Located in snd this could mean m�ny of them would be within wAlk�ng distence and would not be driviag to work. Mra Charles Nowicki, 16?0 Sherburne Avenue, said he msde a caunt of csra on Sher6urne� Snelling and Aldine on Fri�lay and there were 64 cera parked in that area. Theze are seven spartment buildings fn a two-block area and only, one of them providea off-atreet parking. M�°. Nowicki would Iike to ha,ve the permit okayed with the stipulatian that the Burger King employees p�9rk in their own lot and not on the street. $mployeea of establiahments on University Avenue park on SherbuY°cte; the Burger King will eliminate the comer p�rking areas. Mr. Lo Redlin, a Burger Ring repre$entative, stated he does not feel it w�ould be �possible to say that Burger King employees must park on their owei lot and not the street. Ninety-five percent of the e mployees they hire for their restaurants live within a �en-block radius. He eaid &rrger King does l�ke to work with the co�unity ertd will take care oF a�ny problems that srise. Four percent of the payroll is dedicated to cleaning the exterior end interior of the establishmenta and a four-block radius is also cleaned, he saide Mr. Rwdlin said that Burger King has redeaigaed their buildiaga and they are �onsider�d to lbe the most advanced in any restaurant design. Mr. A�mes noted thst the City Council should be presented with the idea of havin� the Burger King employees park on their own lot. Mr. McPartlin noted the Traffic Fturenu will regulate the parking. Mr. Gcayson moted that with the edvent of the Burger King, there will be fewer employeea in the area than before because of the type of establishment. -?_ � � � - ,�� ► ! � �iJRGER KING CORPORATIOTT (continued) Auguat 5, 1971 It was moved by Mr. McPartlin and seconded by Mr, riansnr to reconenend approval of the parking lot permit. Mr. Mansur atated he seea nothing valid by which to deny the parking lot permit and noted the Traffic Engineer approved the plan with the restriction of adding one foot to the widCh of the driveway. The motion carried by a 4-0 vote.
