Committee: Date
WI Quinton Christian, made application to the Boazd of Zoning Appeals
(hereinafter, the "BZA") for a variance from the strict application of the provisions of the Saint
Paul Zoning Code for property located at 988 Central Avenue West and legally described as
LTNIVERSTTY PARK SUBDIVISION OF LOTS 1,2,3 & 8 HYDE PARK, RAMSEY
COUNTY., MINN. LOTS 3 AND LOT 4 BLK 6.; and
WHEREAS, The purpose of the application was to vary the side yard standazds of the
Zoning Code so as to split a parcel and move a single family house on to a vacant parcel of land;
and
WHEREAS, The BZA conducted a public hearing on December 8, 2003, after having
provided notice to affected property owners, and the BZA, by its Resolution No. 03-397489,
decided to grant the variance the application based on the following findings and conclusions:
The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of
the code.
The applicant is proposing to purchase the vacant lot west of the house at
988 Central Avenue and move the house currently located at 1063
Marshall Avenue onto the site.
The existing house at 988 Central was built in 1927 on Lot 3, the eastem
lot of this parcel, which like all of the lots on this block is 36 feet wide.
Lot 4, the western lot, is a lot of record and is a buildable lot even though
the width does not meet current standards. These lots as originally piatted
were intended to be buildable lots and a splitting these two lots would
allow the vacant lot to be developed as originally intended. This is a
reasonable and permitted use for the properiy. However, the house at 988
Central was built 3.6 feet from the west lot line and 3.7 feet from the line
in the rear. The Planning Admuustrator, who is responsible for handling
lot splits, has decided that these two lots cannot be separated without a
variance.
�
O �- $D�
2 2. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to this property, and these
3 circumstances were not created by the land owner.
4
5 The location of the existing house in relation to the west line of lot 3 is a
6 circumstance that was not created by the current property owner or the
7 applicant.
8
9 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and is
10 consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the
11 CityofSt.Paul.

The Zoning Code calls for a side yard setback of 4 feet, not 48 inches. It is
not unusual for a building to be conshucted a couple of inches offthe
intended location. This is a common occurrence in construcrion, even in
new construction. It is the Zoning Administrator's policy to round off to
the neazest foot where the code calls for a dimension in feet rather than
inches. This has been done for years and indeed previous lot splits have
been approved based on tlus policy without requiring a variance.
Rounding off to the neazest foot is in keeping with the spirit and intent of
the code. The Building and Fire Codes require a 3-foot setback from a
property line for residential construction and the 3-foot-8 inch setback will
not affect the health or safety of neighborhood residents.
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 property possibly affect by the variance is the applicant's vacant lot.
A variance of 4 inches will not affect the supply of light or air to the adjacent
property.
The majority of homes on this block are located on 36-foot wide lots. Many
of them probably do not meet the 4-foot side yard setback required under the
current code. It is doubtfixl if anyone, even a professional surveyor, could tell
the difference between two homes with an eight-foot separation and two
homes with a 7-foot-8 inch separation without actually measuring them. This
difference is the only thing under consideration here. The requested variance
will not change the character of the neighborhood or have any affect on
surrounding property values.
S. The variance, if granted, wouZd not permit any use that is not permitted under the
provisions of the code for the property in the district where the affected land is Zocated,
nor wouZd it alter or change the zoning district classifzcation of the properly.
The proposed variance will not change or alter the zoning classification of the
property.

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 desires to put the property to the use intended when it was
originally piatted.
WHEREAS, Pursuant to the provisions of I,eg. Code § 64.205, Geneva Turner, on or about
December 22, 2003 filed an appeai from the detercuinafion made by the BZA and requested a
hearing before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the BZA; and
WHEREAS, Acting pursuant to I,eg. Code §§ 64.205 - 208, and upon notice to affected
parties a public hearing was duly conducted by the City Council on January 7, 2004 where all
interested parties were given an opporhxnity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, The Council, hauing heazd the statements made, and having considered the
variance application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the BZA, does
hereby
RESOLVE, That the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby reverse the decision of the
BZA in this matter, based on the following findings:
The BZA erred in approving the proposed lot split. The proposed lot split would leave a
36-foot lot where the minimum lot size is 40 feet. Splitting the lot would perpetuate a
nonconformity contrary to the requirements of the zoning code. The BZA erred in this
regazd. Approving the variance will conrinue a nonconformity as well as effect the
quality of life in the surrounding neighborhood which is not in keeping with the spirt and
intent of the zoning code.
AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the appeal of Geneva Tumer is and is hereby
granted;
AND, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, That the City Clerk shall mail a copy of this resolution
34 to Quinton Christian, Geneva Turner, the Zoning Administrator, the Planning Commission and
35 the Boazd of Zoning Appeals.

T:us has been done for years znd indee� previous'_ot �plits � zve beer. aDp:oved based on t'r:is
policy without requirina a v�rance. Ro�x.*�ding ofi to the nea:est ioot is ir xeeping witn t'r.e
spirit and intent of the code. The Buildine and �ire Cades reauire a 3-:oot setback from a
pronerry iine for residential consfraction and *he 3-�oot-8 incn se:bac� will not affect the
healTh or safety oi neiahborhood residents.

properry, nor will it aZter Zl�e essentzc�l characier �f the sur•rozcncli��g area or un
clinzinish estnblishecl properry values vviihin the sz{rrounding area.
The only property possibly afiect by the variance is the applicant's vacan± !ot. !� variance of
4 inches will not aifeci the suppiy of,ight or air to ihe adjacent property.
Tae majoriiy oi I�omas on #his biocx a3 locaied on 3S-foot wide lots. M��y of them
. probably do not meet the 4-fooi side yard setback r2quired under the ci;rrenT code. It is
doubtful if anyone, even a prof ssional sarveyor, could tell the difference oe#ween two homes
wi#.h an eight-foot separaiion and two i�omes with a 7-feot-8 inch separation witl actuaily
measi�ring them. This difference is the oniy thing under cansideration here. The requested
variance wili not change the character of The neighborhood or nave any affect on surrounding

the Board is'r,e:e to censide; is iour inches. Is fow mches gcing to make a tiifierer.ce? Is iT goin� io
decrease their property values? Are �hese iour inches going to change the character oi the neignoorhood?
A]ot of test�moay heard by the �oard is ir, elevant. VJhether there ever was a house on that lo? is
:rrzlevant, Siaii has not mentioned it in the stafi report nor is �t relevant to ihe Boards decision. The;%
have claimed that the house does not St �nto the style oi the other homes, that is not an issue befare the
Board. The issue oefore the Board is iour incnes. .� house could be buili on that iot if the Board grai�is a
Lariance oi four =nches. Typically the City does noz even require a variance for iaur inches. Ii someone
came to me �vith a lot that was ti�irty-nine feet eight inches wide ane� they wanted a ouilumg permit I

RE: Appeal a Decision of the Board of
Zoning Appeals Approving a Side Yard
Setback Variance of Four Inches in order
To Split a Parcel Back into Two Originally
Platted Lots — 988 Central Avenue
The Summit-University Planning Council (SUPC) — District 8 received notification of
the above noted "Appeal a Decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals Approviug a
Side Yard Setback Variance oF Four Inches in order To Split a Parcei Back into
Two Originally Platted Lots" at 988 Central Avenue on December 26, 2003.
The SUPC Neighborhood Development Committee (November 18, 2003) and Board
of Directors (November 25, 2003) supported the following position: "to deny the
subdivision (lot split) / and variance request for 988 Central Avenue".
The SUPC Board reviewed the community recommendation as noted above at their
November 25, 2003 Meeting. The recommendation was accepted by the SUPC Board
with no additional amendment. Although the applicanYs pians and desire to relocate
the family home within the community are commendable, the position of the adjacent
neighbors appears clear that "the house and this particular lot are not a good fiY' with
the height of the proposed house to be moved onto the lot being the major point of
contention. The houses on the adjacent parcels on both sides of the block are
"bungalow style" 1 and %z story structures, while the house to be moved onto the
parcel at 988 Central is a 2 and '/z story structure.
This position has remained unchanged since the decisions made in November 2003
and thus tnese findings and recommendations support the above appeal o: t;e Boa:d
of Zoning's decision to approve the requested variances. Please find enclosed several
attachments regarding these issues.
Thank you for your anticipated attention to these matters. If we can be of any further
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Please ca11 the Summit-University Planning Council with questions -(65I) 228-I855
oy-go2,
A Mofion was made to deny the subdivision (lot split) / and variance request for 988 Central Avenue.
A voice vote indicated approval of the Motion.
The Motion was passed.
The SUPC Boazd reviewed the community recommendation as noted above at their November 25, 2003
Meeting. The recommendation was accepted by the SUPC Board with no addirional amendment. Although the
applicanYs pians and desire to relocate the faznily home within the community are commendable, the posiuon
of the adjacent neighbors appears cleaz that "the house and this particular lot aze not a good fiY'.
This proposed project will be reviewed and updated at SUPC's Neighborhood Development Committee
Meeting scheduled for December 16, 2003 (see attached Agenda).

RE: Major Variance Request
988 Cen�al Avenue West
The Summit-University Planning Council (SUPC) — District 8 received
notification of the above noted Major Variance Request for the proper[y at 988
Central Avenue West on November 20, 2003. The Purpose of Major Variance
Requests included: "A side yard setback variance in arder to split a parcel
and move a single family house onto the vacant lok A side yard setback of 4
feet is required and splitting the parcel along the original lot line would leave
the existing house with a setback of 3 feet-8inches, for a variance of 4 inches."
The SUPC Office received notification of a pazcel subdivision (lot split) for 988
Central Avenue on November 13, 2003. This item was initially placed on the
Neighborhood Development Committee's December 16, 2003 Agenda. Because
the attomey for the applicant phoned on November 18, 2003 indicating that a
request for side yard setback variance of 4 inches was being requested and that it
is scheduled to be heazd by the Boazd of Zoning Appeais on December 8, 2003,
this item was moved to the November 18, 2003 Meeting Agenda.
The SUPC Neighborhood bevelopment Committee reviewed these Major
Variance Requests and the Rezoning Request at its Community Meeting held on
November 18, 2003. 825+ flie: notices (see attached) were distributed regzsding
the "rezoning" of this pazcel throughout the community. 95+ people and agency
representatives attended this Meeting. The applicant was present and explained
his intention to move his family home from 1063 Mazshall Avenue (Jimmy Lee
site) to 988 Central Avenue. The owner of the vacant lot is willing to sell the
property and approves his moving said house onto it. He currently lives with his family in Vadnais Heights; his
father recenfly purchased a home across the street for 988 Central Avenue, and he would like to be nearby in
order to attend to his father's needs. The information the applicant has received from his surveyor and the City
indicates that there was a housa on this lot that burned down many yeazs ago.
Several neighborhood residents, including a neighbor living at 996 Central Avenue, were in attendance and had
called the SUPC Office indicating "opposition" to moving a house onto the lot at 988 Central Avenue. They
indicated that the lof was too small for a house of the size proposed to be moved onto it. One adjacent neighbor
' had offered to buy the lot in order to keep it "open".
Concem that the neighborhood had not been "notified" ahead of time was raised. (Note: Norification of the
Major Variance request was received in the SUPC Office on November 20, 2003). This Major Variance request
is scheduled for a hearing by the Board of Zoning Appeals on December 8, 2003.
