BOARD OF ZONING, CITY OF ST. PAUL
1010 COMMERCE BUILDING • ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 • PHONE: 223-4151
November 5, 1969
Mr. Harry E. Marshall
City Clerk �4�''���,r,.
Room 386 City Hall '�'c �k
Dear Mr. Marshall:
This is written in response to the appeal of Embers, Inc. to waive the required
8-foot buffer area between residentially-used property and open-space parking lots
and their application to install a 50-car parking lot on property located on the
southwest corner of West Seventh Street and Hathaway Street. This property is
further described as:
Lots 4 - 9, Block 1, Rogers 2nd Addition.
These matters were considered by the Board of Zoning at its regular meeting on
October 2, 1969. The staff reported that providing the 8-foot buffer area on this
irregularly-shaped site would appreciably reduce the number of parking spaces. It
was noted the plan provided a 6-foot redwood screen fence to screen the parking area
from all properties to the west. It was noted t'hat tk�i.s matter had been reviewed by
the West Seventh Street Association for Neighborhood Development, and a letter from
that group was read, recommending denial. The staff reported the parking lot plan
has the approval of the Traffic Engineer and meets the design standards for this
type of facility. It was also noted, however, that a hedge adjacent to the West
Seventh Street parking would be desirable to block headlights from shining onto the
street. The representative from Embers, Inc. said it is highly difficult to maintain
greenery and shrubs because of rock salt used on the streets and sidewalks .
Subsequently, it was the finding of the Board of Zoning that the substitution of
the screening redwood fence for the 8-foot buffer area would satisfy the intent of the
Zoning Code and, therefore, recommends approval of the appeal by a 5-0 vote. The
Board also found that the parking lot plans meet the design standards and have the
approval of the Traffic Engineer and, therefore, also recommends approval of the
application by a 5-0 vote, subject to the condition that an acceptable form of
screening approved by the Zoning Staff be installed.
Subsequent to the Zoning Board consideration, a report was received from the
Traffic and Accident Section of the Department of Public Safety recommending that
one parking space be deleted to eliminate a potential traffic hazard.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
C/O City Clerk
Room 386, City Hall & Court House
St. Paul, Minnesota 55102
Gentlemen:
Embers, Inc. , or assigns, hereby requests that the 8' buffer strip
normally required between commercially zoned and adjacent com-
mercially zoned property with a residence (Legislative Code:
Chapter 64, Section 03, paragraph i) be relaxed in favor of a
Redwood Screening fence 6' in height which is to be placed along
the most Westerly property line.
The legal description of this property is:
Lots 4, 5, 6 , 7 , 8 & 9, Block 1 , Rogers 2 nd addition.
The above described property is located on the southwest corner of
W. 7th St. and Hathaway St. Currently this property is vacant and
Embers , Inc. , or assigns, proposes to build and operate a standard
Embers Restaurant here.
Because the basic lot is irregularly shaped, the relaxation of the 8'
buffer strip and fhe installation of a 6' high screening fence provides
room for up to ten additional parking stalls along the westerly and
easterly property lines.
The need for this relaxation becomes apparent due to the irregularity
of the shape of this lot and especially due to the extFeme narrowness
which occurs toward the south end. Without this relaxation, Embers,
Inc. , or assigns, is unable to design a parking layout which pro-
vides more than marginal offstreet parking for its needs. Further,
Embers , Inc. , or assigns, feels that the granting of its request will
in no way cause any harm to the adjoining residences and, in fact will
even be a• superior method of screening in this particualr situation.
(See attached plot plan.)

WEST 7TH STREET ASSOCIATION FOR NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT

OCTOBER 2, 1969
RE: EMBERS RESTAURANT PETITION FOR RELAXATION OF 8-FOOT BUFFER
STRIP FOR 50-CAR PARKING LOT
Mr. Peter Maietta, Secretary
Board of Zoning
1010 Cananerce Building
St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
Dear Mr. Maietta:
In response to your letter which is in line with the City Council resolution
requiring a review procedure for basic change in land use affecting the
Neighborhood Development Pro�ect area for which we are planning, we have
attempted to investigate and review this matter in time to present our re-
commendation before the hearing, rather than requesting the allowed 30-day
review period.
The neighborhood representatives in the area affected have conducted an in-
vestigation. The site-office staff of the Housing Authority also looked
into the matter. The combined Administrative Board and Planning Task Force
of the Association took the following action:
It was moved and seconded that the Association recammend that
the 8-foot buffer strip be retained. Ayes, 30, Nayes, 0.
Sincerely,
���� � '� �'
