PAUL 1010 COMMERCE BUILDING � ST. PAUL,MINNESOTA 55101 • PHONE: 223-4151 August 4, 1970 Mr. Harry E. Marshall City Clerk Room 386 City Hall Dear Sir: This is written in response to the appeal of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to relax the density requirement to allow two duplexes to be placed on plots of insufficient area on property located on the south side of Iglehart Avenue between North Oxford Street and North Lexington Parkway. This property is further described as: Lots 9, 10, and the east 1/2 of Lot 11, Block 2, A. B. Wilgus Addition to the City of St. Paul. This matter was considered at the July 16, 1970, Board of Zoning meeting. The staff reported that the proposal consists of dividing the site into two parcels to receive two existing duplexes from the north side of Iglehart Avenue where Oxford Playground is being enlarged. Each parcel, however, has only 5,580 square feet of area which is 420 square feet or seven percent short of the 6,000 square-foot requirement. It was noted that the site is presently vacant and is adjoined on the west by an 11-unit apartment building and on the east by a single-family residence. The area is generally mixed-density residential and is within the Summit-University Neighborhood Development Program area. A letter from the Model Neighborhood Planning Commattee was noted which indicates their approval and support, although they hope the relaxation will not set a precedent. Mr. Jim Hart, representing the appellant, noted that moving costs would be about $1,000 per block, that the appeal is needed to maintain sound housing, and that if the appeal is not granted, the structure wi11 be destroyed. Two area residents, Mr. and Mrs. Donald McAdams, 1089 Iglehart Avenue, spoke in opposition to the appeal noting that a reduction below minimum standards for these duplex structures would be detrimental to their environment and that the site could be used for one of the duplexes plus a single-family structure. After some discussion by the Board, a motion was made to recomanend approval of the appeal because of the good appearance of the structures and the adequacy of proposed side-yards. The motion to recommend approval passed by a 3-1 vote. ��"" Very truly yours, � �-� � �f�-�= -� . � � PETER J.

Wilgus Addition to the City of Saint Paul, according to the plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Register of Deeds with- in and for said County and State. This tract has 100 feet of frontage on Iglehart and measures lll.b feet in depth to a 16 foot alley in said Block Z�,io. The Authority proposes to divide the tract into two lots with 50 foot frontages and lot areas of 5,575 square feet, and to move a duplex onto each lot. Such action would require a relaxation of the density require- ments of 425 square feet per lot. The two duplexes referred to are now located at 1051-1053 and 1057-1059 Iglehart. These structures, acquired by the AuthoriCy by reason of the necessity to expand Oxford Playground, are in excellent condition and should not, if at all possible, be demolished. Attached to this Appeal are exhibits showing the existing location in red and the proposed subject sites in blue; the site plan as to the division, of the tract into two 50 foot front lots; and a new site plan for each house move. The Authority will let a contract to effect the move and complete the landscaping and site improvements as indicated. The Authority requests relaxation of the density requirements of the Zoning Code to permit the moving and relocation of these structures.

It is the understanding of MNPC that the lots are now 425 square feet too small ac- cording to the City Zoning Codes. Although we hope this would not set a precedent we feel that the need for these four dwelling units is such that an exception should be made in this situation. The MNPC requests the Zoning Board. and the City Council af Saint Paul to act on this proposed variance as soon as possible. � MNPC understands there is the possibility that if these � structures are not moved immediately they may not be abie to be moved at all due to road construction. It is understood by �•1NPC that before these houses are put up for sale or rental to the public they be certified as having the latest plumbing and electrical. input and output." If there is any any in which we can further assist in this matter, Iet us know. � i� re I Y, ,� �� %� ---� r �"s'_"� U �� .1 i� r �,� �,._ �._ WILLIAM B.

In undertaking the Project the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota, has followed this direction from the Council. As an instance, in the acquisition of property of the expansion of Oxford Playground, the Authority acquired properties on Iglehart Avenue containing two duplexes in sound condition capable of being moved across Iglehart to lots acquired by the Authority in the removal of substandard structures. The Authority has prepared plans and specifications and is prepared to let a contract. However, a waiver of the density provision of the Zoning Code will be required to accomplish this move. In that the improvement of Iglehart Street by the City is scheduled to commence early this aummer, the Authority requests the Council to instruct all City Departments and Boards to consfder the enclosed Zoning Appeal as expeditiously as possible. � r, �( i �. � Yours very truly, . �� `- c Iv < <�:.. . . , _ Edward N.

Brown and Sorenson, Mrs. FranCzen, and Aiiss Sperr of the staff. HH�t�WSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUT'�I08ITY: An anpeal to relax the density reqai�reuaent to allow two duplexes to be pleced on plota of insufficient area on property located ou the south side of Iglehart �ivenue between North (}xford Street and North Lexington Parkway�. Mr, Sorenson su�narized the staff report, a part of the £ile, noting that the proposal is to divide the �ite into two equal paxcels and move � duplex onto each parcel. Each new parcel h�s the requ3red frontage for a duplex, beat not the required ar.ea. In a "S" ReEidence District a duplex is required to have a 50-foot frnntage and an area of 6,000 square feet. Ad,joiniug to the west is an 11-unit apartment; north is Oxfurd Playground which is being enlarged. Two structures tseing moved onto the site are making iaay for enlsrgement of the plsyground. `The rest of the area is developed with residential. structures. In conclusi.on, Mr. Sorenson noted that required density standards are a reeaon$ble minimum. The subject site would allow one of the duplexes plus e singLe-family home. The v�riance requested daes not seem to be consisCent with redevelopment plans. He noted that it is assumed that other sites have been explored and found unacceptable for the moving of the structures, and thst the duplexes would be demoli.shed if rhis appeal is not granted. He read a letter from the Model Cities, which noted thst they give their approval and support, although they hope this will not set a e�recedent.
