July 31, 1969
Mr. Harry E. Marshall
City Clerk
City Hal.l and Court House
Dear Sir:
This is written in response to the appeal of Donnay Realty Company to
relax the area requirements of the Zoning Code as it applies to property
located on the east side of Winchell Street, south of Arlington Aventa�.
This property is further described as the north 1/2 of Lot 9 and the south
1�2 of Lot 9 except the east 150 feet thereof and except part thereof
taken for Winchell Street; both in Block 6, Rogers and Hendrick's Acre
Lots No. 2.
The applicant desires to construct two duplexes on lots that have an
area of 7,325 square feet, the Code however, requires 7,500 square feet
for a duplex in an "A" residence district.
The Board of Zoning considered this matter at its June 5, June 19 and
July 3, 1969 meetings. The staff reported that the small variance of 175
square feet, or 2.33 percent is caused by the improvement of Winchell Street
with a turn-around which required acquisition of a small portion of e.ach lot.
Several_neighbors appeared in opposition, noting that the proposed construction
would cause a drainage prcblem on their property. Consequently, the matter
was laid over twice to allow the appellant and the neighbors to reach an
agreement.
At the July 3, 1969 meeting, Mr. Donnay stated that he had made certain con-
cessions to some of the neighbors, i.e. to Mrs. Mildred Lindahl, 1329 Barclay,
he agreed to fill in a low spot and provide her with additional fill; to
Mrs. Ma.rie Brobakken, 1455 East Ivy, who has property to the south, he promised
to take down the bank adjoining her property, reducrng its height and will also
provide stone for developing the bank as a retaining wall.
Subsequently it was the finding of the Board of Zoning that the variance was
small and the request reasonable. Therefore, the Board recommends approval
by a 5 - 0 vote of this appeal to relax the area requirements of the Zoning
Code, subject however to the agreement as stated at the July 3, 1969 Board of
Zoning meeting.
