December 29, 1969 ,
Mr. Harry E. Marshall, City Clerk '
Room 386 City Hall
Dear Mr. Marshall:
This is written in response to the petition of Roy T. Spannaus to rezone from "A" to "C"
Residence two parcels of land. Parcel�is located on the northeast corner of unimproved West
California Avenue and Park Street and is described las Lots 13, 14, and 15, Block 2, Merrill's
Div. of Rice St. Villas . Parcel B is located on the south side of West Larpenteur Avenue east
of Rice Street and is described as: Lot 9, Block 1, Merrill's Div. .of Rice St. Villas.
This matter was considered at the September 18, October 2, and December 4, 1969, meetings
of the Board of Zoning. The staff report noted that three larger areas between these parcels
were rezoned to "C" Residence in April, 1969. The proposal at that time was to connect these
areas with these presently being considered by street vacations resulting in one large area
that would allow a 150-unit apartment development. Both parcels presently petitioned are hilly
and vacant. Parcel A has a frontage of 40 feet on West Larpenteur Avenue and an area of 5,000
square feet. Parcel B is triangular in shape and has street frontages totaling 215 feet with
an area of 8,125 square feet. The staff report noted the Comprehensive Plan recommends single-
family use for this area and also a new major thoroughfare along the railroad tracks which would
require much of Parcel A.
At the September 18, 1969, consideration of this matter, the Board of Zoning expressed
concern over several unresolved factors regarding the area and consequently laid the matter over
indefinitely. %
�i seconu uubiic nearin� was neid on uctober �, lybN, at whicn t;me a ietter was nresented
from the Department of Public Works concerning the proposed highway along the railroad right-of-
way. The letter requested that no construction be permitted within 200 feet of the railroad
property which includes all of Parcel A. The Board of Zoning discussed factors concerning the
matter including the proposed highway, street vacation proceedings, and the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority's interest in the property. Subsequently, the Board again laid over the
matter indefinitely to allow the petitioner time to resolve problems with the Highway Department,
Housing Authority, Public Works Department, and Valuations Department.
At the December 4, 1969, Board of Zoning consideration of this matter, the staff report was
summarized and a new letter from the Public Works Department was noted which indicated that the
proposed highway would best be located along the east side of the railroad right-of-way.
Mr. Joseph Summers, representing the applicant, stated that the petitioner desires a package
of "C" Residence land and that these two parcels will complete the area together with the vacation
of Park Street and West California Avenue which are the subject of a new street vacation petition.
He described the area as vacant and consisting of a large hole and a large hill, and indicated
that the Housing Authority would be only one of the prospective purchasers of the property.
Mr. Don Cosgrove of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority noted that it is the intent of
the Housing Authority to purchase the easterly portion of the site for low-cost, elderly housing.
They plan to have one access from Park Street. Approximately 12%0 of the elderly would own cars.
The Board of Zoning discussed this matter and noted that the Planning Board laid over the
matter of an elderly housing development for this property. Subsequently, it was moved to
recommend approval of the rezoning of both parcels of land, subject to the street vacations .
This motion, however, failed for lack of a second. It was then moved to recommend approval of
the easterly parcel (A) subject to the successful vacation of Park Street and W. California Ave.
because this parcel is isolated property. This motion was seconded and carried by a S-0 vote.
Following this vote a motion was made and seconded to recommend denial of the rezoning of the
westerly parcel (B) on the south side of Larpenteur Avenue because of dissatisfaction with. the
proposed use. This motion to recommend denial carried by a 3-2 vote. �f�
