Saint 'k�aul. N1innQSOt=t Gentlemen:- The Benida Company, the owner of the property located at 354 Chestnut and 224 N. Smith Avenue, legally described as: The South 1/3 of Lots 7 and 8; Block 53, Rice and Irvines Addition, the NW'ly 1/2 of the SW'ly 2/3 of Lots 7 and 8, Block 53 and the NW'ly 1/3 of Lots 7 and 8, Block 53, Ramsey County, and also the vacant lot located at the corner of Seventh Street and Chestnut, formerly known as 217 W. 7th Street, legally described as: Lot nine (9) and the Southwesterly twenty (20) feet of Lot ten (10), Block fifty -three (53), Rice and Irvine's Addition to St. Paul, subject to rights acquired by the City of St. Paul for alley, according to the plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Register of Deeds in and for Ramsey County, Minnesota. The first section of the property on the corner of Smith and Chestnut has two (2) apartment buildings developed thereon and also part of the lot on Seventh Street and Chestnut has been dedicated for the purpose of additional parking. The purpose of this appeal is that there is already more than ample parking in conjunction with the buildings on Smith and Chestnut and the extra parking that we have on the corner of Chestnut and Seventh is superfluous inasmuch as less than 1/3 of the tenants in the buildings have automobiles and have no intent or desire to own automobiles. This property was developed and built in 1959 and according to your Regulations, City Ordnances, etc. we provided all the off street parking necessary for these buildings, a 24 car parking lot at the rear of the building and a 16 car parking lot directly across from the buildings on Seventh and Chestnut. No cars have ever used this parking lot in the last 3 1/2 or 4 years since the buildings have been built and not over 7 to 10 cars have used the 24 car parking lot directly to the rear of the buildings inasmuch as the tenants of these two (2) buildings do not own cars and walk to work. r B E N Z D A C O M P A N Y 21 1 - 2 1 5 W E S T S E V E N T H S T R E E T S T P A U L 2 , M I N N E S O T A The Honorable Mayor and City Council - 2 - February 11, 1963 The reason why we are appealing the Parking on the lot on Seventh and Chestnut is that we are unable to use this lot for anything while dedicated to this parking restriction, therefore we would like to remove the parking on the corner of Seventh and Chestnut in order that it may be developed as a Motor Hotel or a Medical Clinic, and unless the dedicated parking for the apartments on this lot is removed the lot will never be able to be developed in the manner intended creating a great hardship on us. We are appealing according to the Legislative Code Chapter 64.03 , Paragraph T to relax regulation of Chapter 60.23 Section 3, Paragraph A of the Off Street Parking Regulations. This appeal is the result of many conversations with the Staff of the Zoning Board and individual members of the Zoning Board who have been acquainted with this problem, and although everyone evidenced sympathy and consideration for our problem, the staff recommended that if the Lot on Seventh Street and Chestnut is going to be used it would be necessary to petition the Zoning Board-and Council to relax the Off Street Parking Regulation in order to permit the utilization of this property: ^ therefore we humbly request that the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Zoning Board relax the Off Street Parking as previously outlined for Lot nine (9) and the Southwesterly twenty (SW'ly 20) feet of Lot ten (10) , Block fifty -three (53), Rice and Irvine's Addition, in order that we may be able to put something on this lot. Thanking you for your consideration, I remain Yours sincerely, THE BENIDA COMPANY Sidney .
