PAUL �� 1010 COMMERCE BUILDING • ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 • PHONE: 223-4151 June 4, 1969 Mr. Harry Marshall City Clerk City Aall and Court House Dear Sir: This is written in response to the petition of Herbert T. Lentsch to re- zone from "B" residence and Commercial to "C" residence property located on the east side of Western Avenue between Jessamine and Geranium Avenues and further described as Lots 11 and 12, Bloc1� 18, Auerbach and Hand's Addition. � This matter was considered at the April 17, 1969 Board of Zoning meeting. The staff reviewed the zoning history and summarized the staff investi- gation. The following conclusions were noted: "C" residence for this site would be "spot" zoning; rezoning to "C" residence would amount to tacit approval of the pending appeal for a nine-unit apartment; the Com- prehensive Plan recommends one and two-family development for the area; "C" residence permits 25% floor area of one floor to be developed with co�aanercial uses plus the allowable number of units. Discussion followed by the Board, staff, and Mr. Paul Kelly of the Cor- poration Counsel's office, on the procedures to be used in handling this rezoning and the related appeal. Subsequently it was the finding of the Board that this petition to re- zone from "B" residence and commercial to "C" residence �ould be granted. The Board of Zoning,therefore, recommends by a 5 - 0 vote, approval of this petition. Very truly yours, �� '�� I ' �, � �� ` ` ' , , �� -�/�� p. J. M �etta �. Secretary PJM:FGI CLS Encl. _-- �. Z.

I�:r. Sorer.son outlined the r.►atter as � follo�as: An appeal for tne extensior, of �commercial use to t:�e entire site was granted, and an:ap�sal for ±he relaxation of density standards to permit devslopm�at of tne si�e witii nin� units was denied on A�ril 17, 1965. An , � administrativ� parking lot was aporoved on April 2, 19G5. Tnis appzal, dated .fover�ber 13, 1968, raquests a relax�:ior. of density� standards *o . permit nine dwellir.g units on a sifie that perr��itted s�ven dwallir.g� units af*er fihe City Council grar�ted an extension of use under Section 64.03 - paragraph "a" of the Le�islative Code on �April 17, 1968. A legal opinior. . � from the Corporation Counsel's office dated March 6, 1968 states that the City Council could no lor.ger extend the use permitted ir. on� zor.ing district to another distri.ct. The site area requirsd for nir.e units is 12,300 , square feet; ths subjec* property has a frontaga of 84 f�et and a depth of � 132 feet of which only 100 feet 'is zoned Cor,u�nercial and can b� used for the apartment dev.elopment. This represents an area of 8,400 square fe�t for.the propossd developmQnt which is 3,900 square feet, or 31.7% defici�nt. An apartment type building is no�a under construction. The site �s �ap�roximately - � •4 to 5 feat above the property to the north; and 2 to 4 _f,�et.above the stre�t . '•grade. � 1'he uses in the area are all residential, predominar.tly single-family wi'th an 11 unit .apartr.tient on the southea�t cornsr of WestEi►i � Gpranium 'Avenues and a few scattered two-�family dwellings. Mr. Sorenson noted th� staff conclusions as follows: 1) no hardship is shoarn by ttis appellant or is in evidence; 2) density requirement of the Zoning Code is reasonable; 3) th� requested varian�ces, 31.7$ or 3,900 square feet is excessive; 4) ths � Comprehensive Pl,an recommends one and two fac�ily uses; ar.d 5) a previous � appeal to relax the density requirement_ to p�rm�t ni�e units Was danied in . 1965 by the City Council. Mr. ;,entsch, speaking in beha].f of� his �p�sal, a said he received a building permit. for the structure and was�putting seven living uni.ts and two commercial units in the building and that he wanted to convert the �wo commercial areas to residential use as the nei�!�bors . objected to the comm�rcial uses. Mr. Sor:nson noted that without a rezoning � ' it would also be necessary to. appeal to relax the lot coverags, and wondered if the parking could�be provided on tne 8,40� squara feet of Comm�rcially • - aoned property. He said t4r. Lentsch could use the 8,400 square feet Commsrcially zoned for residential use u� to the limits of the density requirements without an ap�sal, :or could p�tition to rezone the e�tire piece to "C" Resi3ence, including the back portion now zoned "B" Resi3ar.ce.

Mr. � Lentach was unaware of the expirstion of hie appeal and applied for a building per- `t mit for a 7-unit apartment building wfth apace for two business establish�nents. ' This �aas granted by the, Buildiug Depart�ent in October, 1968. When hia appeal a of I�D vember 13, 1966 was chsciced, it was discovered thst the appeal for extension � of use had expired. In order to use the entire si.te for his development, it °� was necessary to resone the rsar portion. ; � Mr. Sorettaon said that the use� in the area are all residential: there is art � 1L-unit aparC�ent bu�lding oa t�e southxeat coraer of Western A�enve and Geranium � and a few scattered zwo-family dwellings: t6e b�lsnce of the area ia siagle- family. Ne �ave the follarin� points against the rezonittg: 1) "C" residence � for this sita vould b� "spot" zoniag; 2) resoning ta "C" residence would amount to . tacit approval of the peading ap�eal for a nine-uait apartment; 3) the Coa�prehenaive � � Plan recomme�ds oae- aad twa-lasily developmeat for the area; 4) "C" rssidence permits 25�, floor araa of ot►e floor to be.developed Nith camercial, plus the � a1loWabla aumber of ;uniCs. � Mr. Sorenson sho� pict�rsa of the site and tbe paxtially coupleted structure ; and he called attentiat to the differences in elevation aloig the earth property � line. Mr. Sorewr�'uid tl�era is a serious problem alcmg this property line: the .� back of the lot is lfilled to about S feet higher thaA. the property to the aorth � and this would tuvej a drtria�ental effect on the adjo�ning property and the •rea. � � _ � , # i � k � • j � � x , , , , . � �. .... .. .. ....._. - . ...-.. ... . .... a; .. . �•:.c_�.��:...�, .,. .. . .:...'.� a�s;:i::_ __ �� . . , . . ..n .. .. � . , , 4 ! ♦ � . �_ . . . . � . . ,-�it� . ... . � . _. p � . . . . , . . - . � � � 1 A�tes the �d�4�tl of;.Zo g meeting in Januax�►, the: Building Department indicates that work was:�top?�d;. ��e�', fie�d inv��tf�gati�t► today `indicates work is underway in the. b�ild�t►g.. , �� r�o�ed.�hst the ,-City is partly in erxor in ; issuing the .pexmit.

PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 • PHONE: 223-4151 May 8, 1969 Mr. Harry E. Marshall, City Clerk Room 386, City Hall and Courthouse Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 Dear Sir: This is written to request that the City Council re-schedule the public he�r- ing on the petition of Herbert T. Lentsch to re-zone from "B" Residence and Commercial to "C" Residence.property located on the east side of Western Ave- nue between Jessamine and Geranium Avenue. This property is further described as Lots 11 and 12, Block 18, Auerbach and Hand's Addition. The Board of Zoning considered this matter at its April 17, 1969 meeting. It was their conclusion and recommendation that this re-zoning and an appeal also dealing with the same property be considered at the same time. The Board of Zoning at this meeting.considered and made recommendations on both matters. The request of the Finance Department to schedule a Council hearing, however, mentioned bnly the re-zona�ng and therefore notices to surraunding property owners did not mention the appeal. Because of the unusual nature of these matters the Zoning Board feels that the Council public hearing should cover both t�e re-zoning and the appeal. It is also requested, therefore, that new notices be sent to surrounding property owners notifying them of a re-scheduled hearing on the re-zoning and of a hearing to be held at the same time on the appeal.
