2 Whereas, William Rolf and KTL Development, Inc. (together, hereinafter "KTL") made
3 application, in zoning file no. 03-390750, to the Board of Zoning Appeals (hereinafter, the
4 "BZA") for a variance from the strict application of the provisions of the Saint Paul Zoning Code
5 far property located at 501 Ashland Ave and legally described as Woodland Park Addition to St.

Whereas, The purpose of the applicarion was to vary the standards of the zoning code
regulating zoning rooms, off street parking and the front yazd setback in order to convert an
existing sixteen unit aparhnent building into a twenty four unit efficiency aparhnent building and
to construct a front entry; and
Whereas, The BZA, having provided notice to affected property owners, conducted a
public hearing on December 8, 2003, after having laid the matter over, at the request of KTL,
from the originally scheduled public hearing date of November 24, 2003, and the Board, by its
Resolurion no. 03-39750, adopted on December 8, 2003, decided to grant KTL's variance
application, subject to conditions, based upon the following findings and conclusions:
1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict
provisions of the code.
The applicant states that he recently purchased this deteriorated apartment
building and would like to renovate it. The existing flat roof needs
replacement and he is proposing to construct a new gable roof. He is also
proposing to build a new enhyway addition and make the first floor
handicap accessible. This building was built in the 1950s with 24
efficiency units. The building was converted some tixne ago into 8 two-
bedroom units and 8 one-bedroom units. The applicant is proposing to
convert the building back into 24 efficiency units. He states that the
worlananship of the original conversion was substandazd and needs to be
removed. He also believes that residents of a studio or efficiency unit are
less likely to own vehicles and therefore ease the parking congestion on
the street. This apartment building is a conforming use with a
nonconforming lot size. Although the number ofbedrooms in the building
wil] remain the same, the conversion cannot be accomplished without a
variance.

3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code,
and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of
the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul.
4 The condirion of this building, when the applicant purchased, is such that
5 it requires major renovation. The most economical way to accomplish this
6 is to restore the building to its original use. This is a circuxnstance that
7 was not created by the current owner.

oy-y�g
The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to this
property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner.
Renovating existing housing stock is consistent with the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan. The applicant estunates that the remodeled units
will rent from $495 to $595 which will provide enough operating income
to facilitate the renovation. The requested variances will allow the
applicant to provide accessible, affordable, housing units which would not
be otherwise be economically feasible. Provided that the interior and
exterior renovations are completed concurrently and in a timely manner,
the proposed variances are in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code.
4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air
to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character of the
surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values
within the surrounding area.
The only exterior expansion to the building will be the new roof and the
front entryway addition. Neither of these will significantiy affect the
supply of light or air to adjacent properties.
This property has been the subject of several complaints in recent years,
some of which were due to poor management and some due to general
deterioration of the building. Unless the building is torn down or
renovated, this deterioration is likely to continue. The proposed new roof
and entryway addition will greatly improve the appearance of this drab,
boxlike shucture. This properiy is within the Historic Hill Preservation
District but the building is considered to be noncontributing to the historic
nature of the district. Provided that the applicant obtains design approval
from the Heritage Preservation Commission, the proposed changes should
haue a positive impact on surrounding properties. Restoring the interior of
the building to its original configuration will not affect the character of the
neighborhood.

1 5. The variance, ifgranted, would not permit any use that is not permiZted
2 under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the
3 affected land is located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district
4 classification of the property.
Multi-fanvly residential uses aze pernutted in this zoning district. The
proposed variances, if they are granted, would not change or alter the
zoning classification of tt�e property.

6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the
value or income potential of the parcel of land.
The applicant states that his primary desire is to renovate and restore this
building to its original condifion and the proposed variances aze needed to
make this economically feasible.
Whereas, On or about December 24, 2003, Harvey Sherman, pursuant Leg. Code §
64.205, duly filed an appeal from the determination made by the BZA and request a hearing
before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the BZA; and
Whereas, Acting pursuant to Leg. Code §§ 64.205 -.208, and upon notice to affected
parties, a public hearing was duly conducted by the City Council on February 4, 2004 where all
interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and
Whereas, having heard the statements made and having considered the variance
application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the BZA, the City Council,
does hereby
Resolve, That the BZA ened in this matter regarding finding's no's 1, 2 and 6, as set forth
in BZA Resolurion no. 03-390750, dated December 8, 2004, based upon the following findings
of the Council:
The property can be put to a reasonable use as a 16-unit apartment building. There
is nothing unique about the property that compels the need for 24 units. Financial
hardship alone is not a reason to increase the number of units to 24. Granting a
parking variance to accommodate the increase in units would further increase the
congested parking conditions around the building. Variances primarily appear
necessary to make the proposal economically feasible. This is not a reason to
grant variances.

unsi�hily ana 13as bern a problem property for ihe i�eiehborhood. The prop�rty needs to
be reaovated on tiie exterior as weI! as ihe interior so that it does noT detract from tha

?� an im�zdiate neighbor to tlus �niidino anci onposed to excanoine ihe
numoe; of umu m this buld:ns by 50% ior a m:mber of reasons.
1) Sue popslarion dens,ty v*: dus bui?ding �s aireaay in excess oi any
o�er buiid;a� in 'tie aei?hborhood io ;nc;ezse this dens.ty by �0°% is
3�nieasonable.
2) The cn:rent maaaeement of the butldine sho�vs no abihty to manage
even the 10` units he cnsenYly has. Iz seems chat on ave:age he evicts
someone about once a month - or someone abandons the apa:fineat - as
ihere ;s a c3nstant sGear� oi fu,.niture wd carpehne pzled in ihe alley
next ±o ou: place with each of �ese tumovers. Just this week nas seen
another occasion whea the alley is fiill of console teievisions, sof s,
chaus, lamps, etc. To me tnis is evident that he lacks She �udgment
to choose tenants thai will pay their rent and be responsible nei�hbors.
Converting [o smaller apa:hnents w'il mosc likely only atYac? even
more trans:ent TenanTS than loday's re�te:s.
�j �or some reason tlus buiiding zither oer.erates or at�iacYS Yash
• along its sidewalks and in the ;rrass verge between ihe s;dewaik and the
cu:b, and the emrenz management does noY seem ±o have a process for
havm� this uash removed. To all appearances it is the mhabita.-�ts of
�17e building rl�at are tsemselves the source or` his :itter. ;ncrzasing
the number oi res�dents m this bulding can be espected to
cosespondin�ly increase the amouni of 7ash.
4) ',`heu current vaz3ance to 24 pazking spaces is al�eady excessive,
being 1:e equivalent of over a ciry block. Allowin� 30' spaces would
si�nificantly impac# the nei�hborhood and maxe it nearly impossible to
locate a spacz w�thin a block o, home during snow zmergencies when �0%
of ihe loca? spaces are not available. It is exacfly in such weafher
;hai one shculd aot have to search for par:dn� a lone ways from home. �
j) The current occupanYS of ,`Y�e building are oftea the source of laie
:usht disiurbances ia the alley betweer, our buildings. Czrs oftea s:t
vz ±he alley with iheu engines mmm�e while the drroer soci2lizes with
sorneone from the ouiidina, o`Ten wich the car music system pcoviding
acrompanunent. I would not expect tl:is behaviour to diminish when the
population oi thz building is chan�ed f.-om a fa,-nily sized apaPSnent io
stud�o type aparnnencs atffactive to a younger c:owd.
I f e? very s�ongly 't�at th;s �s an ir*es�onsible request that shows
absolnte?y ro inLerest in the nzighborhaod bu. is simply a attzv7pt zo
milk more monev fror_i an aseadv crowded buii:ins az L'�e as�ense of �he
quality of Lfe in ti,e neighbor'nood.

Rolf submitted some additional informarion to the Board. He spoke to the neighbors on Ashland and
MacKubin Sffeets. Not everyone was home when he was I�ocking on doors but he did speak to those
that were home within those two blocks. He also passed out cards with his phone number on it so they
could call him. He found that the building has been a source of aggravauon for the close neighbors.
The tenants have been disrespectfiil and there have been many police calls and fights on the properry.
The neighbors wanted the new owner to have some management skills and hoped that he can manage
the building better than previous owners. He explained ihat he has helped clean up other troubled
rental buildings in the Ciry. Some of the neighbors would like to see the building upscaled into half
million doliar condominiums. That has some possibiliues, however, the building has tradirionally been
affordable housing in the neighborhood. As the neighborhood has gentrified there is less and less
affordabie housing in the area. It would be better in his opinion to keep the building as affordable
housing rather than moving the people who live in it out of ihe neighborhood. He walked the
neighborhood between the nineteenth of November and the third of December counting the number of
open pazking spaces available between ten and midnight. He found that on the two blocks of Ashland
on either side of the building pazking was very right at that time of night. Noting that some nights he
found only two spots. On MacKubin he found an average of fourteen spots noting that the other two
blocks had an average of nineteen and twenty-two for a total of fifty-four open parking spaces on the
streets. He argued thaT people living in siudio and one-bedroom apartnents are less likely to own cars.

Noung a parking survey from another buiiding he owns on Charles Street in the midway area. In that
building for the six one-bedrooms there are seven cars, and for the thirteen smdios there are four cars
parked on the stteet. He thinks that the number at this building would potentially be higher because it
may attract people with a few more resources. In his experience studio units generate fewer vehicles
on the street. Also for density two bedroom units typically have an adult and a child, minimum.
Usually a studio unit would typically have one adult living in each studio unit which would decrease the
number of people living in the building. Mr. Rolf also surveyed the building one block east that has 57
aparhnents and no off-street pazking. On the block adjacent to the apartment building on Arundel there
were an average of three spots available and some nights there were none.
Ms. Otteson quesiioned how many other properties Mr. Rolf owns. Mr. Roif replied currently three.
Ms. Otteson furrher quesUOned whether there wouid be an onsite manager in the building. Mr. Rolf
stated that there would be. Ms. Otteson quesuoned whether Mr. Rolf was willing to work closely with
the HPC(Heritage Preservation Commission) to make this look like the neighborhood and to monitor
the comings and goings in the building. Mr. Rolf stated that one af the reasons he was interested in
purchasing this building is that he only lives three blocks away so it is easy for him to monitor the
building and keep an eye on things.
• A1 Fisher, 117 MacKubin Street, stated he is the person who wrote the letter of opposition and he is the
president of the condominium association north of ihe apartment building. He has since withdrawn his
opposition to the project now that he has had a meeting with Mr. Rolf. He feels that Mr. Rolf's
solution to the problems the building has caused is a good one. He "submitted a packet of signatures in
support of the project. Although they think there might be a pazking problem with the building they
will put up with the parking in order to allow Mr. Rolf to make the changes he proposes and clean up
the building. Noting that noise and problem families have always been an issue with the building. Mr.
Fisher stated that Mr. Rolf will get a phone call at what ever time if there should be a problem at the
building, and Mr. Rolfs willing availability to manage the building speaks well of his management
style for the building.
There was opposition present at the hearing.
Christopher Yerkes, 507 Ashland Avenue, stated that what Mr. Rolf wants to do with the building
looks great, noUng that he owns two homes in the area. However, if anything is passed he would like
to see a requirement that all the plans are completed and the building is re-stuccoed, that double hung
windows arz put in, and that the gabled roof is added. He has seen enough variances given with
promises and then they get the 24 units and do not do anything else. Pazking is a problem and the
study he did was over the Thanksgiving Holiday when a lot of people leave. Two blocks to the north
is Chang-O'hara's which has tons of overflow puking. Two blocks to the east is Sweeney's Saloon
and everything gets pazked up. There is a nursing home to the southeast corner, condos just to the
north and northeast which all have inadequate parking. He argued that these setbacks are coming from
• what is there because the building is grandfather-in to today's zoning code already. The average
setback of the block is about twenty-seven feet. The building is at ten feet right now. So the actual

variance would be about seventeen feet, were he not grandfathered-in. The building has 16 units now
and is supposed to have twenty-four ofF-street parking spaces, it has none and now he wants to go to 36
that is an undue hardship to the neighborhood.
�J
The District meeTia� on this was right after the Western and Marshall issue, the meeting was to be one
hour and it went three hours and some people that were in opposition to this project had to leave so the
issue did not get the hearing it should have. The building will be a 24-unit building with no common
space. Right now people come outside to hang out with their friends which causes probiems. Mr.
Rolf may manage the building fine, however, the building -could be sold, or he could die, things
change. He azgued that one of the 5ndings states that the prunary reason for doing this cannot be for
financial reasons. Than the staff report states that this is the only way to financially do this. Four and
a half years ago this building was on the market for three-hundred-and-fifry-thousand dollars, it has
changed hands since that time four times. Mr. Rolf paid eight-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars for
the building and it is not worth that. What he paid for the building should not be a burden on the
neighborhood. The architect had an idea io possibly moving the entrance to the east side of the
building on MacKubin to make one or two of the units into a common azea and leaving eight to sixteen
units. He noted that he probably could support the other vaziances, however, he could not support the
parking variances. He stated that the building has always been a problem properry and it will probably •
remain a problem properry. Mr. Yerkes stated that although Mr. Rolf clauns that the building will be
all adulu in the studio apartmerts, most of them have cazs. He noted that he has spoken to other
landlords in the area whose e�ciencies are going to recent college graduates that want to stay in the
area but do not want to pay the higher renu of Grand Avenue. He is pretty sure that the renters would '
have cars. In the short term he believes his house value would go up about $20,000 or $30,000.
However, the Boarci's job is to view the impact on the whole neighborhood not just on the next five or
ten years. Battle Electric is just to the northeast which is a site where they did Condds, it is very
dense and everyone complains that there is not enough puking.
Harvey Sherman, 89 MacKubin, stated his house is just three houses from the apartment. Mr.
Sherman read the letter of opposition he submitted to the Board.
Pamela Brandt, 99 MacKubin, stated her home is the house on the corner of MacKubin and Ashland
directly south of this building. She has lived in her home since 1986 and the building has been a
problem since I98b. The dispatcher at the police department no longer asks her name they recognize
her voice. She would like to see changes made to the building. The community would like to work
with NIr. Roif. There are half-way houses, condominiums, the Saint Paul Church Home, the
neighborhood is saturated aiready. She believes, if Mr. Rolf gets the vaziance to increase the building
to 24-units there wfll be that many more problems in the building. There are no afleys or garages in
the area many evenings she has to pazk half a block to a block away, and has to carry groceries the
block or more home in the dark. She wouid like to see the building improved, howevzr, she does not
think that adding more units to the building will help the building. She would like to see the building
stay at sixteen units. •

Don Chase, 925 6'" St. SE, MPLS, stated he is in attendance to present a le�ter in opposition for 7udy
Beck of 4&7 Ashland Avenue. ?Vts. Beck lives three houses from the building and she opposes the
project because of the parking problems and densiry issues. Mr. Chase noted he had lived on Ashland
also and does not think any of the neighbors are opposed to improvements made to the building at 501
Ashland. However, the variances should not be granted for economic factors and that is the reason for
these variances. Keeping the building at sixteen units or less makes a lot of scene and would help with
the parking issues.
Steve Lee, 484 Ashland Avenue, stated he is the director of maintenance at 484 Ashland the Saint Paul
Church Hom2. Their concern is mainly parking issues, there have been problems with people from the
neighborhood parking in their parking lot and snow emergencies only make the problem worse.
Adding twelve more units to this building will create the need for more parking spaces in an area that
is already very short of street parking.
Terry Kaase, 525 Ashland Avenue, when he moved into the neighborhood he recognized that parking
was an issue. He added an off-street parking space behind his house shorfly after moving in. He
questioned how the Board wouid assure thatthe design proposals would be guaranteed to take place
• once approved by the Historic Preservarion Committee. Noting that there is no guarantee that Mr.
Rolf will be able to manage the probiems this building causes. Ms. Maddox explained that the Board
is not concerned with properry management or problems on the account. Noting that she had allowed
people to speak about it, however, that is not an issue here. Mr. Kaase argued that Mr. Rolf had
broughT up the issue of his expertise in properry management. Perhaps Mr. Rolf can make something
work here, but Mr. Kaase would like to see some guarantees that this plan will go Porward in a way
that the Board would stipulate that it go forward.
Ms. Maddox instructed the audience to limit their testimony to something new and not conUnue
repeating what others have said before.
Margearet Ann Hennen, 95 MacKubin Street, stated that she lives two houses away from the building.
She hopes that this building could look better and provide better housing for those who live in it.
Having to walk half a block or a block to her home is not something she wams to do. Ms. Hennen
stated she has attended many variance hearings where the properry owners have been given direcrions
on how to proceed with projects. She questions whether anyone checks up on applicants after
vaziances are granted, and doubts thaf anyone does. Noting that what has been built in the area is not
what was agreed upon at the variance heazings, and that concerns her very much with this building.
Pafficia Tarren, 525 Ashland Avenue, stated her concern about Mr. Rolfls proposal to add a
handicapped ramp up to the front entrance. She feels that it is necessary to provide housing for the
handicapped, however, Mr. Rolf is only allowing two units on the fust floor to be handicapped
accessible, she would like to see all the firsY floor units as handicapped accessible. The applicant had
• explained to her that all the first floor could not be handicapped accessible because the four units on ihe
west side of the building are on a concrete slab and moving the plumbing wouid be cost prohibirive.

She argued that if he is being given a variance To add the handicagped ramp the whole fust floor should
be made handicapped accessible.
Scott Roe, 515 Ashland Avenue, stated he lives two doors west of this properry. His major concern is
that VIr. Rolf did his parking study during the Thanksgiving Break, with many peaple away so there
was more parking available. He noted that when ever guests visit him they have to park more than a
block away. The plan is lacking in a common space and he #eels that a MacKubin entrance would be
more appropriate for the building. iYlr. Roe noted that he owns rental property in the neighborhood
also and a two-bedroom umt rents for more than $1,000. He thinks because of the disrepair of the
properry Mr. Rolf cannot geT that much for one of his two-bedroom units in the building. He noted
that parking will prabably always be an issue in the neighborhood because of the number of lazge
houses that have been tumed into condominiums. �Ir. Roe wanted to laiow how the Board could be
assured that not only will Mr. Rolf add the uaits, buT that all the outside cosmeric changes will be
finished.
�
Mr. Rolf questioned whether there were a legal mechanism that would make sure that a nice exterior is
tied to chznging the building into 24-units. Mr. Hardwick stated that certainly the Board could place a
condition onto the variance that the interior and exterior remodeling needs to be done at the same time. •
Mr. Rolf stated he would be in favor of such a condition, because he also lives in the neighborhood.
He added that he had omitted the Thanksgiving weekend from his figures for the parking study.
Hearing no further testimony, Ms. Maddox closed the public portion of the meeting.
Mr. Wilson questioned whether there were any way to condition the renting of some apartments to only
people that must relay public transportation. Mr. Warner stated that is in the Comprehensive Plan,
however, there is no legal way to do it.
Ms. Morton moved to approve the variance and resoluuon based on findings i through 6, subject to the
condition that the applicant obtains design approval from the Heritage Preservation Commission and;
that the interior and exterior renovations are completed concurrenfly and in a timely manner.
Mr. Faricy seconded the mouon, which passed on a roll call vote of 5-2(Wilson, Maddox).
