WHEREAS, BERNARD SNAZA, File #02-120-636, has applied for a Conditional Use Permit
under the provisions of §60.544(1) of the Saint Paul Legislative Code, for renewal of conditional
use permit for auto detailing and expanding auto sales from 8 cars to 12 on properiy located at
1229 Payne Avenue, Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 20-29-22-43-0093, legally described as
Lots 7 through 10, Block 1, Joseph R. Weide's 2nd Addition; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission, on May 16, 2002, held a public
hearing at which all persons present were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant to said
application in accordance with the requirements of §64300 of the Saint Paut Legislative Code;
and
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its
Zoning Committee at the public hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the
following findings of fact:
In 1998 the applicant received a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor used car sales and
a car cleaning and detailing business at this location. Conditions attached to this permit
included a limit of 8 cars for sale on the lot and a limit of 14 total cars outdoors on the
property at any time. The final condition was that the permit be reviewed by the
Planning Commission three years from the date of ifs issuance to evaluate whetherthe
conditions of the permit are being observed and to determine whether the permit shall
be valid for an indefinite period or whether the Planning Commission should impose a
termination date.
2. In addition to requesting that the permit be continued- indefinitely, the applicant is
requesting that the number of cars for sale permitted on the lot be increased from 8 to
12.
3. The parking requirement for the existing use is 8 spaces. Adding 4 additional cars for
sale would not increase the required number of spaces. However, at this time, in
accordance with the previous permit, the applicant is providing only 6 spaces. (He has a
limit of 14 cars outdoors on the lot at any one time. By reconfiguring the parking behind
(west of) the buitding for compact cars, 6 cars can be accommodated there, and a total
moved by

Planning Commission Resolution
Page 2
of 16 cars can be accommodated on the lot. Ten cars could then be offered for sale
while keeping the existing 6 off-street parking spaces. The limit on the number of cars
that can be outdoors at any one time would need to be increased to 16. If 12 cars are to
be offered for sale, the number of off-street parking spaces would be reduced to 4. The
applicant states that he is the sole employee and that vehicles brought in for detailing
are scheduled by appointment only and are not stored outside on the site, reducing the
need for off-street parking.
4. The conditions of the previous permit and findings as to whether the applicant is
meeting them are as foilows:
a. The proper(y shall be used in substantial agreement with the site plan dated
12/21/98, or wifh such revisions as are approved by city staff in LIEP. The
applicant is meeting this condition.
b. The applicant shall have no more than eight cars for sale on the lot and no more
than a total of fourteen cars outdoors on the property at any time. This condition
was met at the time of the staff visit. No complaints or violations are on record
with LIEP, indicating no probiems with consistently meeting this condition.
c. The applicant shall install curbs or curb stops that prevent vehic/es from
overhanging the public sidewalks. The applicant has met this condition.
d. No repair or refinishing shall be done on the property unless iYs conducted
withing the building. This condition appears to be met. No complaints or
violations are on record with LIEP.
e. The business shall not be open later than 9:00 p.m. This condition appears to
be met.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Plannirig Commission, under the
authoriiy of the City's Legislative Code, that the application of BERNARD SNAZA for a
Conditional Use Permit for auto detailing and auto sales at 1229 Payne Avenue, is hereby
approved subject to the following conditions:
1. The properiy shall be used in substantiai agreement with the site plan dated 12/21/98
and updated 5/8/02, or with such revisions as are approved by city staff in LIEP.
2. The appiicant shall have na more than twelve cars for sale on the lot and no more than
a total of sixteen cars outdoors on the property at any time.
3. No repair or refinishing shall be done on the property unless it is conducted within the
building.
4. The business shall not be open later than 9:00 p.m.
5. At such time as there is a new owner or operator of this business, a new permit shali be

ln 1998, a Special Gondition Use Perm+t for outdoor used car sa4es and a car c{eaning and
detailing business was approved for this property. A condition attached to this permit limited the
number of cars for sale on the lot to 8, with 14 totai cars outdoors permitted on the property at
any given time. The final condition was that the permit would be reviewed by the Planning
Commission three years after the date of issuance to evaluate whether the conditions of the
permit where met and to determine whether the permit should be valid for an indefinite period of
time or whether the Planning Commission should impose a termination date. .
In 2002, when the permit was reviewed, the business was complying with the conditions of the
previous permit. At that time, the owner requested that the number of cars permitted for sale be
increased from 8 to 12. The Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit for auto
detailing and expansion of auto sales 12 cars.
Rece�tly, �IEP has responded to three complaints against Rase Automotive. {n April 2005, LIEP
found that there were more cars on the lot than was allowed in the 2002 Conditional Use Permit.
In addition, LIEP noted that there also seemed to be a tow truck business operating at this
address. On June 2, 2005, a report was filed stating that cars were parked in the back, tow trucks
were towing illegally, and cars were "flowing" into the alley. One day Vater, another complaint was
made about glass in the ailey from the wrecked cars.

(b) The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffc congestion in the public
streets. This condition is not met. There are two points of ingress and egress on this property, a
main entrance off of Payne and a side entrance on Hawthorne. The Hawfhorne entrance is too
close to the intersection and is not adequate to miRimize traffic congestion.
(c) The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of fhe development in the immediate
neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. This condition is not

the neighborhood and endangers the public health, safety and general welfare.
(d) The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the
surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. This condition is not met. An auto
related business at this site would impede the existing character of development in the
neighborhood.
(e) The use shall, in al! other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in
which if is located. This condition is not met. The lot area, and entrance off of Hawthorne do
not comply with City regulations. .
7. §61.502 states that the planning commission, affer public hearing, may modify any o� a!/ specia/
conditions, when strict application of such special conditions would unreasonably limit or prevent
otherwise lawfui use of a piece of property or an existing strucfure and would result in exceptional
undue hardship to the owner of such property or sfructure; provided, that such modification wil(
not impair the intent and purpose of such specia/ condition and is consistent with health, morals
and general welfare of the community and is consistent with reasonable enjoyment of adjacent
property. Modification of the foliowing two requirements is required prior to approval of a
Conditional Use Permit for 1229 Payne Avenue:
1. Modification of the requirement which requires that vehicular access to outdoor auto sales be
at least 60 ft. from the intersection of any two streets.
Modification of the minimum lot size requirement.
Strict application of these conditions would not unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful
use of the property and would not result in exceptional undue hardship to the owner. The
modifications are not consistent with reasonabie enjoyment of adjacent property, will impair
the intent and purpose of the conditions, and are inconsistent with the health, morals, and
general welfare of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Pianning Commission, under the authority
of the City's Legisiative Code, that the application of Rase Automotive for a Conditional Use Permit for
auto detailing and auto sales on property locafed at 1229 Payne Avenue is hereby denied.

You then requested a pnblic hearing before the Saint Paul City Council to

This is notica that I wish to have my case heard 'm front af the city councit. I have
had potsnti8�l buyers for this property, and they have baen mat with negativity.
They have 6acked out of purohasing this property for that reason. This is an
auto relat�d property, and the only one avaii�bfe on Payne Avenue. I am sure
everyone is aware of the abundance of availab►e stoce front properties in that
area. I have had som� very interestsd parties on my property, seeking to
operate an automobile related business there. I am hoping tha2 futu� potential
buyers will be met with a more welcoming tone. f would like to remain in this
