05-246Council Ffle # D5- a '�(o GreenSheet# 3025735 RESOLUTION SAINT PAIIL, MINNESOTA Presented By Refened To Z�- Committee: Date 2 Wf�REAS, Joseph and Judy Rossi made application to the Board of Zoning Appeals 3 (hereinafter the `BZA") for a variance from the strict application of the zoning code for their 4 pmperty commonly known as 1899 Sargent Avenue and legally described as: BERRYFIII,L 5 PLACE E 30 FT OF LOT 23 AND W 20 FT OF LOT 24 BLK 1; and 6 7 WFIEREAS, the gtupose of the Rossi's application was to vary the zoning code standards 8 for the purpose of building an addition to the existing structure: 6-foot sideyard set back required, 9 3-foot set back proposed for a requested variance of 3 feat; and 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ?9 i0 WHEREAS, on September 13, 2004, the BZA conducted a pubiic hearing after having provided norice to affected property owners and in its Resolution No. 04-112170, adopted September 13, 2004, the BZA granted the Rossi's variance request 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 applicants have lived in this house for about 20 yeazs and would like to continue living here into their senior years. The house has no bedrooms or bathroom on the first floor. This makes it difficult when the elderly or disabled visit and eventually will make iY impossible far the applicants to continue living here. The proposed addition will provide a bedroom and a bathroom on the first floor as well as expand the livingroom. This is a reasonable request that would make the house more livable and accessible. Aowever, the location of the house on the site and the room arrangement within the house prevent accomplishing this goal under the shict provisions of the Code. 2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to this property, and these cireumstances were not created by the lar�downer. 1 The room arrangement makes it impractical to build the addition on the back of the house and the 2 location of the house on the lot makes it nnpossible to construct a functional addifion without a 3 variance. These are c'ucumstances that were not created by the applicants. 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent ofthe Code, and is �_°��T consistent wzth the health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of St. PauL 0 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 �3 14 �5 6 7 This house was built in 1923 and was not designed to be compatible with persons of limited mobility. The proposed modifications wiil update the house. Renovation and improvement of elcisting housing stock are consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Capital Plan and in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Code. The requested variance will not affect the health or safety of azea residents. 4. The proposed variance wi11 not impair an adequate suppty of Zight and air to adjacent propetZy, nor will it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. The proposed single-story addition with a 3-foot sideyard set back will not significantly effect the supply of light or air to adjacent properties. Although the current code requires a 6-foot sideyard set back in this district, when the homes in this area were built a 4-foot setback was required. Many of the homes haue non-conforming sideyazd set backs and many of the homes have similar additions on the side of the house. Provided that the addition is finished to match the finish on the rest of the house, the requested variance will not change the character of the neighborhood ar haue an adverse impact on surrounding properiy values. 5. The variance, ifgranted, would 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 located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classiftcation of the property. The proposed variance, if it is granted, would not change or alter the zoning classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not b¢sed primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. WHEREAS, on September 23, 2004, and pursuant to the provisions of Leg. Code § 6L702(a), Kelly and Mary Michael, 1893 Sargent Avenue, duly filed an appeal from the determination made by the BZA; and WHEREAS, acting to pursuant to Leg. Code § 61.702(b) and upon notice to affected parties, the City Cauncil duly conducted a public hearing on December i, 2Q04, where all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heazd; and WHEREAS, the Council having heard the statements made, and having considered the variance application, the report of staff, and the BZA's record, minutes, and resolution, DOES HERE$Y RESOLVE, that the Council of the City of Saint Paul hereby upholds the BZA's decision in this matter based upon the following findings of Council: The variance applicants and the appellants in this matter have advised the Council that they have reached an agreement which would establish the sideyard setback distance at 3.5 feet. Based 1 upon this mutually acceptable agreement the Council finds that the BZA did not err in their ��j' eZ��p 2 findings or facts granting a side yard setback variance. However, with the reported agreement 3 between the Rossi's and the Michel's, the Council, exercising the authority granted pursuant to 4 Leg. Code § 61.704 hereby modifies the variance granted by the BZA to allow a sideyard set 5 back of 3.5 feet snbject to the condition that the Rossi's eaves project no more than 12 inches. 6 With this modification, the original findings, conclusions and grant of the BZA in its Resolution 7 No. 04-112170 remains the same. 9 AND BE TT FURTE�R RESOLVED, based upon the findings, the agreement between 10 the parties and modifications noted above, that the appeal of Kelly and Mary Michaei is in all ll things denied;and 12 13 BE TT FIJRTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk shall mail a copy of this Resolution to 14 the Rossi's, the MichaePs, the Zoning Admiiustrator, the Planning Commission and the Board of 15 Zoning Appeals. � Green Sheet Green Sheet Green Sheet Green Sheet Green Sheet Green Sheet � DepattmeM/pfificelCpuncl: DatelnrtldtEd: �_°�'�� u� ��e��6�,�„�� '14MAR-05 Green Sheet NO: 3025735 Contact Person & Phone: Peter Wamer 266-8710 on Councii Agenda by (Datej: � Deoartrne�rt Serrt To Person Initia ate D ' oJE viro � A55i9n 1 ice eJtn 'ro P D a t"r Number Z �;_tt-OS For Routing 3 or' Ma orf i nt Order 4 � 5 e k i Clerk ToW I# of Signature Pages _(Clip All Locations for Signature) Approval of a resolution memorializing previous council action taken December 1, 2004 wluch upheld and modified the Board of Zoning ilppeals' (BZA) decision to grant Joseph and Judy Rossi permission to build an addition on iheir home and denying Kelly and Mary MichaePs appeal as the parties reached a compromise. �oaiwns: Hpprove �H� or n Planning Commission CIB ComMittee C1vi15ervice Commissian Persona{ Service Contrects Must Mswer the Rol{owing Questions: 1.

Rossi has applied for a variance from the sYrict application of the provisions of Section 66.231 of the Saint Panl Legislative Code pertainin; to the required east side yard setback of a house addition in the R-3 zoning disirict at 1899 Sar�ent Avenue; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals conducted a public hearing on September 13, 2004 pursuant to said application in accordance with Yhe requiremettts of Section 64.203 of the Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals based upon evidence prasented at the public hearing, as substantially reflected in the tninutes, made the following �indings of fact: 1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. • The applicants have lived in this house for about twenty years and wauld like to continue living here into their senior years. TIle house has no bedrooms or bathroom on the first floor. This makes it di£ficult when the elderly or disabled visit and eventua7ly will inake it impossible for the applicants to contimie living here. The proposed addition will provide a bedroom and bathroom on the first fIoar as well as expand the livingroom. This is a reasonable request that would make the house more livable and accessible. However, the locarion of the house on the site and the room arrangement within the house prevent accomplishing this goal under #he strict provisions of the eode. �. The plight of the lanc� awner is due to circumstances unique Zo this properry, und these eircitmstances were noi created by the Zand owner. The room arrangement makes it impractical to build the addition on the back of the house and the location of the house on the lot makes it impossible to conshuct a fixnctional addition withouT a varianee. These are circumstances that were nat created by the applicants. 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with th2 spirit and intent of the code, and is conszstent wzPh the health, safety, comfort,, rnorals and we�are of the enhabitants af the City ofSi. Paul. 1 4a�e 7 of 3 �� -a�� #04-� �2�70 Resolution � This house was built in 1923 and was not desi�ed to be compafible wzth persans of limited mobility. The praposed modifrcations wili update tke house, Renovation and impmvement of existing honsing stock are consistenY with The goais of the Camprehensive Plan and in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code. The requestad variance will not affec� fhe nealth or safety of area residents. The proposed varimace will not impair an acle2uate supply of tight and air to adjaeent property, r:or will it alter the essential character of the surr-ounding ¢rea or u�areasonably dimrnish estabZished proper.ry values within the surroundang c�rea. The proposed single story addifion wzth a three-foot side yard seYback will not s��nifrcantly affect the suppiy of li�ht or air to adjacant properties. Although tlie current code requires a six-foot side yazd setback in this district, where the homes in this area wera built a four-foot setback was required. IYIany of the homes have nonconforming side yard setbacks and maay of tlze homes have similar additions on the side of the house. Pmvided that the addition is finished to match the finish on the rest of the house, the reqaested variance wi11 not change the character of the neighborhood or have an . adverse impact on surrounding property values. 5. The variance, ifgranterl, would nof permit any zase that is notpernsitted zsnder the provisions of the code for the property in the district tivherz the affecied land is Zocatea nor would zt alter or change the zoning distriat class�cation of'the pt•operty. The proposed variance, zf it is granted, would not change or alter the zoning classification of Yhe property. 6. The requesr for varia�sce is not based prinaaYily on a desire to increase !he val2ie or income potential of the parcel of Iand. NOW, THEREFOIZE, BE IT RES�LVED, by the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals that the provisions of Sec&on 66.231 are hereby waived to alloiv a setback of 3 feet for a house addition, in order Yo build on property located at 1899 Sargent Avenue; The variance is si�bject to fhe coradition that the addition is,f `inished to mafch the finish on the rest of tlze hause. The properiy zs legally described as Berryhilt Place E 3o Ft Of Lot 23 And W 2n Ft Of Lot 24 Blk 1; in accordance with the application for variance and the site plan on fiie with the Zoning Administrator.
