Mr. Harry E. Ma.rshall
City Clerk

St. Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear Sir:
This is written in response to the application of John H, White for a permit
to install a 46-car customer parking lot on property located on the South-
west corner of Dale Street and West Minnehaha Avenue, further described
as Lots 1-4, Block 1, Syndicate No. 4 Addition.
This matter was heard by the Board of Zoning on July 2, 1970, at which time
the staff reported that the western portion of the existing lot was zoned
"B" Residential. It was noted that in 1960, the Board of Zoning had recom-
mended approval of a permit for a parking lot on this site subject to the
submission of revised plans which met design standards, but later changed
its recommendation to denial pending the submission of those plans. It
was further noted that the present application under new ownership could
not be allowed unless it is ruled to be a legal non-conforming use or until
the western portion of the property was rezoned. A letter was read which
indicated that the Public Works Department was not interested in the property
for the widening of Dale Street,
The applicant presented a petition in favor of the permit and stated that
a bumper fence restricting access to the alley would reduce the number
of parking spaces.
In considering this matter, the Board discussed the implications of a portion
of the property being "B" Residential. They noted that the Traffic Engineer
disapproves of this plan because it indicates access to the alley and that
adequate plans should be submitted prior to a Council hearing on the matter.
Subsequently, the Board heard a motion to recommend approval subject to the
recomm�endations of the staff and Traffic Engineer. The motion was seconded
and passed by a vote of 4 to l.
At the August 5, 1971 Board of Zoning public hearing, when a portion of this pro-
perty was considered for rezoning to a Commercial district, it was noted that the
Traffic Engineer would review the plan in light of some of the concerns of
the awner and neighbors, expressed at that hearing. Therefore, this matter
was referred to tl�e Traffic Engineer again and his reply noted that the plan
approved for an adjacent bar indicates no alley access and that this plan
��
`��'r - �
o /�

should indicate the same. The Traffic Engineer also concluded that limiting
alley access from the parking lot would not impair access to priu.ate
garages across the alley. He said that the plan on file, which was suggested
by the Zoning Board staff, is acceptable, noting that it contains the same
number of parking spaces as the applicant's p1an. A copy of the Traffic
Engineer's letter is included in the Council file for reference.
Very truly yours,
.

Dear Dr. Heiden;
The origlnal plon sub�ittsd by John J. Whits for ths parking lot o�
ths southwast corner of Uals St. a�d Minnehaha Awe does not presvent the
users of the psrking lot frow utilizing the �liey. We again recanNe�d
that no alley access bs psrMltted. Just recsntiy a p{an was sut�aitted
for the adjacent parking lot, and it v+as approwd with no olley access.
When chacking the sits on Septernl�er 1, 1971 at about 1 :15 P.M. , one vehi-
cle was obs�rved te�ving tho Jahn White parking lot and proceeding west
through the alley to St. Albans St. whsre it turnad south. The alley is
relatively narrow� end there are a nuaber of garages along it west of th•
proposed parking lot whlch are located quite close to tha property li�e,
These garagss limit tho sight distance, and for this reason� we feel tran-
cisnt-type traffic using ths alley should be discouraged, not only from a
safety standpoint� but froa� a nuisanee standpoint, which aiay occur late at
nighc when the parking lot 1� most tikely �eceiving its heaviest use.
Thoro are two g�rages l�at�d across the a11oy froA tha westerly end
of t1�s Whit• parking lot. Since thess garagss era oriented with their
garaye doors facing the east along ths sast-west alley. it would appear as
though navan�snts in and out of the gar�ges vrould not be impaired by wheel
stops located 2� fest withtn �thc parking lot siL�, or an 18 inch high fencs
located along ths prop�rty ltne wcwld not iwpalr nq vernents in and out of
these garages. The parking Isyout sugg�sted by your staff is acceptable to
us� and it provides for at I�ast as �ny off street parking spaces as does
the applicant's proposalo

A. HISTORY: A used-car lot was approved for tl�;s site i.n 1946. This permitted the
continuation of the non-conforming use that c�.xisted on the portion that �oas zoned

site. The Board of Zoning voted £or a favor�able recommendation, approvinf the
parking lot, subject to the plan meeting design standards. The applicant did not
submit revised plans and the file has been c��en but inactive since 1960. The file
was closed out and the City Clerk and the C� ty Architect notiEic�d this year, and
cli�� r�ew o�.mer of the. pro{�erty subsequently � i led an a��plicati�n for a parkinK lot
