O'Connell F d OF SAINT PAUL SAINT PAUL 4, MINNESOTA August 1, 1963 This is in the matter of the appeal of Mr. & Mrs. George Turcotte to establish a 19 foot building line setback from Thomas Avenue on pro- perty located on the south side of Thomas Avenue between Aldine and Fry Streets which is described as Lot 6, Block 1, Geo. J.Anderson's Midway Addition. The property is zoned "B" residence. The subject property is developed with a single - family residence which was constructed in 1905 and which has a porch across the front. It is proposed to reconstruct said porch by increasing its depth from six to eight feet which would decrease the setback from its present 21 feetto 19 feet. The setback in this block is 25 feet and it is necessary to secure Council approval to reduce it to 19 feet. There are 17 residences in this block having setbacks which vary from 4J feet to 39 feet. The subject property has a frontage of 37.97 feet on Thomas Avenue with a depth of 123:35 feet, resulting in an area of 4,684 square feet. All of the surro'undi'ng land uses are single and two - family residences. Field investigation discloses no basic objection to this request as it does not appear the additional two feet requested would have a detri- mental effect on the adjoining properties. Field investigation further discloses that the residence immediately adjoining to the west is set back 22J feet, and the second and third structures to the west are set back at a distance of 18 feet. The residence immediately adjoining to the east is set back 28 feet. In consideration of the above factors, the granting�of the appeal to establish on the above''described property. HCW:FGI Encl. Z. F. 5229 the Board of Zoning recommends a 19 foot building line setback Sincerely, H. C. Wieland Secretary Board of Zoning o IF- ,iJ Dear Sirs; We, Mr. and Mrs, "George E. Turcotte, being the owners of, and residing at 1660 Thomas Ave. (George J'Andersons Midway Addition, lot 6, block 1) ctfully request that the minimum front building line set -back be established at 9.50 from the sidewalk in accordance with the St. Paul'city zoning code. Our dwelling at present has a 21 ft, front building line set -back. This lot was platted and the present dwelling constructed prior to the year 1900. As with many of the homes constructed before the turn of the century; it has a narrow (approx. 6 ft. wide) front porch running the width•of the house. The roof height (sofit to ground) is 11 ft. A previous owner enclosed the porch with green- house glass sections.'The porch is badly in need -of major repairs. It is an inherently ugly structure, a discredit to any better residential area. Due to the northern exposure and being glass enclosed it is to cold in the winter and to hot in the summer to serve any yseful function. It is, in appearence just about the least attractive of all in our block. We would like to' remove the offensive porch and replace it with a more modern structure. A structure, which we hope, will add charm and beauty to our - dwelling and to the neighborhood. The plans for the replacement are complete. However these plans call for a room size 72 ft. wide'and 13 ft. long. With the present front building line set- back'of 21 ft., the best we could get would be a room 6 ft. wide which would be somewhat inefficient and awkward. We consider 72 ft. as a minimum useful room width. If possible, we would like to carry these plans to completion this summer. / Enclosed please "find our check made out in the amount of $20.00 to cover the cost of the hearing and etc. r f E 0f�n��C MAY y 1963 CITY PLAIVi% i'w 60A" Saint Paull, Minnesota Respectfully Yours, s' 2 o. r , .r -7 � 3 • iLED OF C I'! r CLERK Mr. and Mrs. G.
