Mr. Harry E. Marshall
City Clerk

Dear Mr. Marshall:
This is written in response to the appeal of John S. Hasslen, Jr. to relax
the density requirements of the Zoning Code to allow construction of a nine
unit apartment building on property of insufficient area. The property is
located on the south side of Englewood Avenue between North Snelling Ave-
nue and A�bury Street and is further described as West 9 feet of Lot 3 and
all of Lot 4, Block 8, Hamline Plat.
,
' This matter was considered at the August 21, 1969 Board of Zoning meeting.
The staff reported that this site which was rezoned to "C" Residence in
June, 1969 contains 11,972 square feet. The Zoning Code, however, requires
12,300 square feet for nine units resulting in a shortage of 328 square
feet or 2.67 percent. It was also noted that the appellant's commercial
use adjoining this site will require alterations to remain within the area
properly zoned.
Mr. Hasslen, the appellant, discussed the problems of the commercial use
with the Board which subsequently voted 4 - 1 to recommend approval for this
appeal to relax the density requirements of the Zoning Code.
Very truly yours,

PxESENT: Messrsa Ames, Gadler, McPartlin, Maietta, and M�nsur of the Board and
Messrse Brown and Ryan and Miss Poachmann of the staff.
JOHN S� HASSL'EN, JR,: An appeal to relax the density requirements to allaw for
the erection of a 9-un;it apartment building on property Iocated on the south
side of Englewood Avenue between North Snelling Avenue and Asbury Street.
Mro Ryan summarized the staff report stating that the aite w�s zoned "C"
Reaidence as of 6/28/69, and the 9-foot wide area ad3oining to the west
was rezoned Comouercial. An appeal is needed becauae the area requirement
for a 9-unit apartment building fs 12,300 square feet, whi.ch fs 328 square
feet more than the site contains. The site is vecant, level, aad approximstely
three feet above the grade of Englewaod Avenue and ebove the grade of the
property to the weat. Comw,ercial uses exist eo the west alcrag Snelling l�venue
and Hamline University is nosth across Engle�.aood A�eaue. A Masonic Temple
Building ad�oins to the east. The larger area is occupied by mixed-density
reaidential uses.
Mr, RyAn submitted a picture of the site--va�ant area--which was passed around
to the Zoning Board m�mbers. Mr, Ryaa said �here are two pointa whihh may
prove a difficulty in developing the site: �.j there is an overh8ng which
will have to be removed, and 2) there are some Ioading doors at the back of '
the property to the west which necessfta�es using part of the "C" zoned
property to uaeo
Mr, Maietta asked how high the overhang is, and was to�d 1�-12 feet.
Mr. Hasslen, the spgellant, said a truck can be backed onto a drive on the
Ca��nercial land, and will be in the apartment drive. Ae said he wo�ld use
a fork lift trucic to load oa his property to the west.
Mr, Gad2er was concerned with a "dust collector10 (overhang) on the site, and
was told it is to be ramoved aince iC is not in use. He also esked �bout
greenery around the area. Mro Gadler said people shouldu't live there if a
buaineas ia going to be xunning adjacent to the apartment bnilding, since the
driveway will be used for fork lifts, etc.
Mre McPartlin moved foz approval of the appeal, and Mr, Maietta seconded the
motion. It paesed by a 4-1 vote, with Mr. Gadler voting in oppositiono
