The homeowner, who has limited mobility, would like to add more space to her bedroom. She is proposing to build a 14 by 16 foot sunroom addition to the house. This would give her extra living space and help her use her bedroom more comfortably. This building is a legal duplex and requires a 9 foot side yard setback. Due to the unusual configuration of the lot, a small corner of the proposed addition would encroach into the required setback. The proposed addition is a reasonable and permitted use of the property that cannot be accomplished under the strict application of the code. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to this properry, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. The irregular shape of the pazcel, the room configuration within the house and the house location on the lot all limit the options for providing additional living space for the home owner_ These aze circumstances that were not created by the properiy owner. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and it consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants fo the City of Saint Paul. Along with providing better accessability for the homeowner, the new sunroom addifion will help update and renovate this older home, extending its useful life. Maintaining and renovating existing housing stock is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. This relatively minor variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code and will not affect the health or welfare of area residents.

The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properry, nor wi11 it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. Only a small corner of the proposed single story addition will encroach into the required setback. The requested variance wiil not significantly affect the supply of light or air to adjacent properties. The applicant states that the addition will be finished with materials that match the house. The yazd where the addition will go is about 8 feet above the grade of the street. The neighboring house to the east is at a lower elevation and is located well away from the proposed addition. As long as caze is taken so that storm water runofF is directed away from the neighboring properry, the proposed addition will not change the chazacter of the property or have an adverse impact on surrounding properties. 5. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is not permitted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district when the affected land is tocated, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classifzcation of the property. The proposed room addition will not change the number of dwelling units in the building. The requested 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 property owner's primary desire is to improve the accessibility of her home and make it more livable. WHEREAS, Pursuant to the provisions of Leg. Code §61.702 (a), William Madden, Jr., duly filed an appeal Zoning File No. 07-081619 from the determination made by the Board of Zoning Appeals, and requested a hearing before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Board; and WFIEREAS, Acting pursuant to Leg.

Reasons for our appeal: 1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. Our Response: - This statement contained in the Board of Zoning AppeaZs Resolution is an � error. An addition to the homeowner's bedroom can be located on the north side of the home and not encroach on the property setback. Another option would be to provide approximately a 10' x 15' addition to the east side of her bedroom and avoid or significantly reduce the encroachment on the setback. The outside dimensions of our sun room are 8' x 12', Proposing a 10' x 15' addition to a bedroom is a comfortable room addition. 2_ The plight of the Zand owner is due to circumstances vnique to the property and these circumstances were not created by the Iand owner. Our Response: When comparing to other lots in the neighborhood, the lot is not unusually sma11 or narrower in width where the home is located. There is adequate space on the sides and rear of the home to provide an addition. The majority of homes in the area would be unable to provide a 14' x 16' addition to the side of their home, without encroaching on the side yard setbacks. 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of St, Paul. Our Response: Reduced level of privacy � Building out 14' closer to our property reduces our level of privacy. The addition is situated quite a bit higher in elevation than our property. When I came home just after the Hearing and noted where the planned addition would be located, it was clear that the addition encroaching over 4' into the setback reduces our privacy and devalues our property. This is particularly evident from our bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and living room. See photos attached. As you can see, there are no trees or landscape other than some siaall shzvbs to block the addition. In the winter months this privacy would be further reduced. Poor Design � The width of the addition located on the east side of the homeowner's bedroom abuts the adjacent bay window. The roof slope of the addition does not match the architectural style of the home. The siding matches the current asbestos or large alum lap siding, but does not enhance the potential quality of the home. A sliding glass door is not in character with the home. We question that the addition, as proposed, increases value to the property, and we believe it devalues our property. Increased Noise The addition would be 14' closer to the adjacent home owner's property and will include three window air conditioners_ � � �i v1-5�� We can already hear the air conditioners in her current bedroom windows and that noise woulct only intensify with the air conditioner units located 14' closer to our property. • Concem with increased light pollution The owner's high illuminated security system is so bright that we are able to read at night without our lights on. We are concerned she wi11 add more . lights to her addition £urther polluting our property with artificial light at night. - - We have significant concerns the current untidiness of their yard will only get worse with this addition_ The home owner's property is a rental property and is generally unkempt_ Trash and cars are parked right next to the fence and we are periodically picking up trash that blows from their yard onto ours. Adding an entry to this addition I believe will promote more untidiness along the property line. The configuration of the proposed addition, especially between the existing bay window and the addition will promote untidiness due to difficult maintenance access. Last year we spoke with the home owner on sharing expenses for improving the area along the property line with landscaping in helping reduce the visibility of their unkempt yard, but she refused due to lack of available funds. 4. The proposed variance wi12 not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonab2y diminish established property values within the surrounding area. Our Response: , • The proposed addition will change the character of our property. Please see response under item 3. OCher concems we have regarding this variance request: �w�Ti+aG�c:6E �t•Y�'w.. 1. Short schedule of notification. • I first read of the proposed addition nd variance request from a St Anthony Park Community Council flyer eceived May 6. I then called the Council and asked if they had any ad itional information. I received the enclosed abbreviated information on the proposed addition at 2215 Como just 1 hour prioX to the Hearing at 3:00 PM, May 7. The complete packet was not sent to me until May 9, 2007. � • I was told the city mailed out a notification on April 23. I have no record of receiving the notice. 2, Inadequate information prior to and during the Hearing in order to make an informed review. • The only illustration in the packet I received prior to the hearing was a hand sketched plan outline of the addition. See enclosed application packet I received on May 7. Clearly there was not adequate time to review nor enough information for me to review prior to the hearing. • The applicant should have included elevations and perhaps a rendering available for review at the Aearing. It was only after the Eiearing and after the variance was granted that I was sent the full packet of information which included a staff report and elevations. • The applicant requests encroaching 4'-3". This does not seem to � include the overhang, which would encroach even further into the setback. It also does not include the window air conditioner units. � • The elevations indicate there will be a sliding door access to the addition as well_ Are their steps to access this opening? Will there o� s�� be a future deck or stairs to access this opening? Will this require another variance request? 3. Inaccurate survey ' • The survey is inaccurate. At first glance at the plan sketch, it is , clear the existing garage is not located accurately. That said, the � information provided gives me no assurance-the addition is located accurately. . 4. No explanation of hardship to qualify for a variance �_ • 2he lot does not create any hardship in locating the addition_ There are no easements or topographic concerns. The lot width is not narrower than normal (where the home is located on the lot) or smaller than the adjacent properties. • The reason giben for the variance is because the homeowner would like ' more space added to her bedroom and that she�is handicapped, which 1'imits her mobility around the rest of her house_ This reason for a variance sets a precedent for the city that anyone who is handicapped will qualify for a variance. 5_ Construction has b8gun on the addition! See photo attached taken on May 18. I was tol.d by the city that construction could not begin until the appeal process had passed. The homeowner can still succesSfully add on to her home and not encroach on the setback. See sketches enclosed for options. If the committee still agrees on this variance, then the owner should be required to pay for a 30 foot long privacy fence or landscaping with coniferous trees located on or near the property line. The design should be mutually agreed to. We would be happy to submit a design for consideration and work with the owner. This privacy screen would benefit both home owners. . I have asked the following neighbors if they agree with my assessment regarding'the variance request. Their signatures and address are noted below. Thank you for your consideration on this important matter.

This building is a legal duplex and requires a 9-foot side yard setback. Due to the unusual configuration of the lot, a small comer of the proposed addifion would encraach into the required setback. The proposed addition is a reasonable and permit#ed use of the properly that cannot be accomplished under the shict application of the code. 2. The plight of the Zand owner-is due to circurrtstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner.

Maddox, Linden, and Morton; Messrs. Courhney, Faricy, Ward, and Wilson of the Board of Zoning Appeals; Mr. Warner, City Attomey; Mr. Hazdwick and Ms. Crippen of the Office of License, Inspections, and Environmental Protecfion. ABSENT: Gloria Bogen* *Excused The meeting was chaired by 7oyce Maddox, Chair. Dana Schumacher. (#07-064463) 2215 Como Avenue : A variance in order to construct a sunroom addition on ffie first floor. A 9 foot side yard setback is required, a 4.75 foot setback is pcoposed for a variance of 4,25 feet. Mr. Aardwick showed slides of the site and reviewed the staff report with a recommenda6on for approval subject to the following condi6ons: 1) That gutters and rain leaders aze installed to direct storm water away from adjacent properties and 2) That the addition is finished with materials that match or compliment the finish on the rest of the house. One letter was received opposing the variance request from the neighbor at 2203 Como Avenue. One Ietter was received from District 12 regarding the vaziance iequest. The applicant MIKE CIBiTLKA, 10537 Morgan Avenue South,- Betterliving Sunrooms and Tim Eder, 545 164`" Ave. S�mmerset WI, were present representing the home owner Ms. Spry(?). Mr. Cibulka stated that those two stakes in the photos were the nine foot setbacks. They showed that one corner of the addition would be 9 foot-9 inches is what those were intended to say. We did have a survey done, we did hire a surveyor to put out those lot lines and those stakes were put there by the surveyor for us. When we were initialiy contacted by Ms. Schumacfier we were unfamiliar with the 9 foot setback rule as most of the setbacks we have dealt with in St. Paul have been 4 foot setbacks. So in hying to make a sunroom for them we tried to make a sunroom that would work for them that would be uregulazly shaped and meet the setback and it does not work. The home owner next door has said something about putting it on the north side of the house, it does not work because there is a stairway to the upper level there and it would be cost prohibitive to move stairways as well as everything else. We do intend to have proper gutters and drainage away from any neighboring properiy so there will not be any adverse affect from any of that and the siding materials we will use for the addition will be as close to and hopefutly identical to what is already on the house. We have sourced it and believe it to be an exact match. In terms of the height of the sunroom it wIll be lower than the height of the eacisting roofline now by a significant amount. This is a two story home and this will be a one story sunroom addition that will just encroach a few feet into the side setback. In addition the neighbor has no structure that is close to this. Their dwellings are further away and as you look at the plat map you can see that this is a combination of several lots and was broken up in an irregular shape. You can see where the dwelling is next door and this will not encroach on that dwelling what so ever it is quite far away from there. • � � AA-ADA-EEO Employer a�-5�� File #07-064463 • Minutes May 7, 2007 Page Two Mr. Ward questioned whether Mr. Cibulka had a survey done on the properry? Mr. Cibulka stated that the stakes represent the 9-foot setback. Mr. Ward further questioned and the surveyor did not give you a copy of his findings, of where the properry pins are showing the plat and where the building is located. Mr. Cibulka stated that they were only concemed about the side setback when we talked to the zoning people. They said they just wanted us to identify the side setback and so that is what we asked the surveyor to do. We did not ask for a full redrawing of the plat. Mr. Ward continued so the drawing that you submitted does not have a stamp or anything on it. Mr. Cibulka replied no. Mr. Ward questioned that this, (asking about the site plan in the packet), was produced by the surveyor? Mr. Cibulka replied that was produced by our Office Administrator. Mr. Eder replied based on the findings from the surveyor. Mr. Ward stated that he is confused, so the surveyor took the time to locate the pins, the property lines and you hired him to do that, why didn't he give you that information? Mr. Cibulka replied that we were not lead to believe that it was necessary, we were just asked by Zoning to locate the 9-foot setback from the side yazd, they did not ask us to do a drawing for a full survey we were just asked to locate the 9-foot setback and that is what we asked the surveyor to do. Mr. Ward stated that he is back to his same question, you were asked to locate the 9 foot setback and he is sure he could do that by locating the front property pin and the rear property pin, put that on a drawing list what his company name is and who he is stamp it and say this is the building corner and located the building corner 9 feet from that. That is not a complete survey but it gives us an idea of someone who is licensed and a professional who did it, rather than submitting a drawing and we don't know who did it. He asked if Mr. • Cibulka understands what he is saying? Mr. Cibulka replied yes he does, we were not asked to do that by the Zoning people if they would have asked us to do that we certainly would have done it. That was not what we were asked to do we were asked for him to stake it out so that the Zoning person could see when he visited the site where the 9 foot setback was. We just did what we were asked to do. It is Dan McGivins Survey Company. There was opposition present at the hearing. Bill Madden, 2203 Como Avenue, stated that he just came back from vacation the previous night and found a flyer on his door so he has just been informed that if there is an issue call St. Anthony Park Council and then about 2:00 p.m. this afrernoon they sent a fax of the proposed addition. When he reviewed the proposal these are his comments. We question how much the addition is infringing on the setback area as it does not appear that a survey has been preformed. A survey should be prepared to locate the properry line. We question the current dimensions as accurate. No drawing illustrates what the addition will look like and the owner states that the reason for the addition is to add more space to her existing bedroom. Adding space to the north side of her bedroom to avoid encroaching on the setback could be considered. The addition will block sunlight from reaching our back yazd deck in the spring and fall seasons. No information is provided on the height of the addition. The variance approval process was circumvented and we Ftad no input on the decision of the St. Anthony Land Use Community Council. However, we are the neighbors most affected by this construction. Being this is such a short notice we have not had the opportunity to contact our neighbors and see if they are in agreement with our concerns and he will pursue that discussion tonight. His main concern is that he is uncleaz as to where that properry line is. Second our house does set lower and we are on our back deck often and he believes • it would impact sunlight hitting the back deck especially in the spring and summer. No one had t I� V AA-ADA-EEO Employer �z-5 g� File #07-064463 Minutes May 7, 2007 Page Three contacted hun with this proposal before. Perhaps something could have been worked out but as it stands and how the application stands right now is something he just cannot agree with. Mr. Wilson quesrioned the time line gives until May 29�`,(could not hear rest of question.) Mr. Madden stated that he had been out of town for a week and he called this afternoon they did mention some notification came out from the Ciry and he does not remember seeing it, he just remembers the flyer that was on his door from the Communiry Council that he saw late last night. Mr. Courhiey questioned that the azgument made by staff is that the trees are already there and it is kind of a buffer. His question is, aren't those trees already blocking your sunlight? Mr. Madden repiied no. Most of ffiose trees are up higher and the west snn is lower in the sky as it shines across so that addition coming out will further infringe. Second along that edge he has discussions with the applicant about improving that border with better landscaping than what is currenfly there. Mr. Courhiey quesfioned whose trees are those? Mr. Madden replied that he is unclear as to where that properiy line is located. There is a fence and there aze uees but he has never been cleaz where that properry is located. � Mr. Ward questioned Mr. Madden that he was not aware that there was a St. Anthony Pazk Community Organization? Mr. Madden replied no he is aware that there is an organizarion but he just found out about this variance request late last night. He lefr messages last night with the St Anthony Park Community Council on their answering machine. He called them back this morning and spoke with a • woman who faxed him a copy of the proposal and did men6on that their Land Use Committee did recommend that it be put fourth through the Council here. He explained that he did not remember heazing anything and was on vacarion since the 25`" of April through yesterday. Mr. Wazd further questioned if they could work out where the properiy line is, you wouldn't be opposed to the addition? Mr. Madden replied that he would probably be opposed to it if it encroaches on the setback line. Ms. Linden questioned whether Mr. Madden were awaze that this addition is going to be designed to be one story. Mr. Madden stated that all he just heard now, all he had seen was a drawing of a squaze on the house with some dimensions. He did not see any elevations but he did find out that it is a one story addifiion. Ms. Morton questioned when the notification goes out to notify neighbors? Mr. Hazdwick replied ffie notice was mailed April 23 and the Mr. Madden was one of the people that were notified. Ms. Morton stated so he was one of the people notified before he went on vacation. Mr. Madden replied he does not remember seeing one. Mr. Cibulka stated that we started this project seven weeks ago and we were informed that the neighborhood was informed well in advance, that the hearings were going to take place with St. Anthony starting 6-7 weeks ago. So we felt that when no one showed up on Thursday night for the meeting except for hiruself, that there was an assumprion that there was nothing against it so it was a pretty uneventful meeting. Mr. Eder stated that he just wanted to reiterate regazding the height of the sunroom. Ms. Spry is a handicapped woman and she is disabled at this _point and at some point she will be more disabled. The reason she wants this room is so that she can when she is confined to a wheel chair, she will have � L I. AA-ADA-EEO Employer o� 5&� File #07-064463 • Minutes May 7, 2007 Page Four space to go from her bedroom into the setting room/sunroom. It is one story and the house right now is a two story home and it will in no way encroach on any sunlight or anything on ffie neighbors' home it is that far away. It encroaching one uiangular comer of the room about 18 feet, 9 feet on either side so it certainly in his estimation would not pose any hardship to the neighbor. Mr. Courtney questioned Mr. Cibulka that he imagined that he is ready to get started on this tomorrow. Mr. Cibulka replied that Ms. Spry is very anxious to get going on this. Mr. Hardwick questioned Mr. Cibulka whether the surveyor actually put stakes in the corners of the properry? Mr. Cibulka replied that he found the pins and he believes that he ran the string from the pins and that is how he found the 9 foot setback. Mr. Hardwick further questioned whether the property line pins were marked in some way to show where the properry line is on the east side of the house? Mr. Cibulka replied he believes they are but he does not know that, he was not out there to look at that. He was out there to look at the stakes he did not personally look at the pins because the surveyor told him he found the pins and that is how he put those stakes in. Once we found out it was a 9 foot setback instead of a 4 foot setback we were trying to design a room that would meet the 9 foot setback on the property on the side because on the north you cannot put an addition there. We tried to build an irregularly shaped one trying to skirt the 9 feet but it would not be usable for the woman, it would be too long and narrow to accommodate the square footage that she needs as she becomes more severely handicapped. � Hearing no further testimony, Ms. Maddox closed the public portion of the meeting. Mr. Ward moved to approve the variance and resolution based on fmdings i through 6, subject to the following conditions: 1) That gutters and rain leaders aze installed to direct storm water away from adjacent properties and 2) That the addition is finished with materials that match or compliment the finish on ffie rest of the house. Mr. Wud added condiflon 3) the Contractor establish where the existing property line is so that the two home owners that adjoin the property line do not have any further problems of liugation or problems that comes out of a result of not Imowing who's property the addition may encroach on. Mr. Wilson stated that he would like to see that sun room, he has seen nothing here (? tape did not pick-up clearly what he said.) Mr. Courtney stated that just in the interest of saving time he will just say he is with Mr. Wilson's statement. Ms. Linden seconded the motion, which passed on a roll call vote of 5-2(Wilson, Courtney). Mr. Cibulka requested further explanation of what exacfly Mr. Ward was requesting that they do? Mr. Hardwick stated that the Ciry building departrnent does not require a full survey unless you are building a whole new building. For additions to a house what is required is that the properry owner or the contractor prove to the building inspector where that property line is. There are two ways they can do that. One is to locate the existing survey stakes that were buried in the four corners of the property. The other way is if they cannot find those stakes is to put in new stakes. He is assuming that if the applicant had a survepor they did one of those two things. Before any construction is started the properry owner ar • the contractor is going to have to prove to the Building Inspector where that properry line is. (� il �,' AA-ADA-EEO Employer a� �a File #07-064463 Minutes May 7, 2007 Page Five Mr. Cabulka questioned what exactly he was expected to do. Mr. Warner suggested that Mr. Cabulka take a seat and he could speak to Mr. Hazdwick after the heazing and suggested questioning Mr. Ward about exacdy what he had in mind. Mr. Ward stated that is exactly what he had in mind. That those pins be located or the pins be found and marked so that Ms. Spry does not have an issue and Mr. Madden does not have a problem with where that property line lies. Mr. Warner furtfier questioned if the contractor would then have the surveyot sign some document indicating that in the surveyors professional opinion that is where those two pins are and that is the property line and provide a copy of that to the neighbor? Mr. Hardwick replied we don't rypically do that. Mr. Wamer commented that he understands that, but the law says that the Board can impose reasonable condirions, and Mr. Ward's condition is reasonable. He is just wondering if we are way off base here because he thinks legally it is a reasonable thing to do that. He does not want to put words in anybody's mouth, but he is just wondering so he l�ows. Mr. Hazdwick stated that he would differ to Mr. Ward if he feels that it is necessary for the surveyor to sign a document he can certainly do that. It is just that is not something that we typically do. Mr. Ward stated true but he thinks that the surveyor would not be doing his job by submitting someffiing with his name on it that was not signed. So in all due diligence the surveyor is going to submit something locating property boundaries and stating that I blank company, have surveyed this properry and have located these pins. Either the north corner and south corner it would be to his advantage to make sure that they are where he says they are and stating that he has a license stating such. Ms. Maddox instructed that we would like something in writing and submit it to staff and the neighbor. Mr. Hardwick stated that he is not quite cleaz do we want a drawing? Mr. Wazd replied no. Mr. Hardwick commented we just want a letter from the surveyor saying that he has located these pins and based on his professional judgment the location of those stakes is correct. Mr. Wilson questioned what as a properiy owner prevents me from pushing that building out a little further into that properry line(tape did not pick up end.) Mr. Warner replied that is why he is tnaking the inquiry. He wants to laiow exacfly what we are going to tell Mr. Cibulka what he has to provide. Mr. Hazdwick replied again, it is up to the contractor or properry owner to prove where that property line is. This variance has been approved and they cannot encroach any more than what this variance says regardless of where that properry line turns out. If it turns out that properry line is actually closer and that this addition is going to extend further into that setback than the applicant would have to come back and would have to reapply for a new vaziance. If it tums out that the properry line is further away well than that is fine. Mr. Warner commented that the Building Inspector will make that call. Mr. Hardwick replied that is correct, they will go out there and measure it to show that the foundation or footings are located the proper distance from the properiy line.

We have also included the statements of the Board � of Zoning Appeals and the appellant's, Mr. Madden, to make clarification easier. ' Reference Item #54 � �'� � 1 r r� � � ,� ' 1 i ' i � �� � ' � , , � , � �� � � OZ-5�� BZA: The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. Mr. Madden's response: This statement contained in the Board of Zoning Appeals Resolution is an error. An addition to the homeowner's bedroom can be located on the north side of the home and not encroach on the property setback. Another option would be to provide approximately a 10'x15' addition to the east side of her bedroom and avoid or significantly reduce the encroachment on the setback. The outside dimensions of our sun room are 8'x12'. Proposing a 10'x15' addition to a bedroom is a comfortable room addition. Betterliving and Ms. Spry's response: The statement in the appeals resolution is absolutely accurate and not an error as purported by the appellant. The addition of the sunroom cannot be placed on the north side of the home for structural reasons. The appellant drew a room outline on the north side of the home in his appeal document. The mere fact that it can be outlined on paper does not make it feasible. The north side of the home contains multiple complexities with an exterior stairway that prohibits placement of the room on this side. (see photo on next page) The appellant also proposed changing the dimensions to a longer instead of wider room. This alternative was also investigated prior to the application for the variance but the "bump out" prevents this change. In addition, Ms. Spry is handicapped and will soon be confined to a wheelchair. By shrinking the room to fit the appellants' definition of "comfortable" would make it unusable for Ms Spry in her handicapped condition. , � ,�,.r i � , r : � r ;�� :�`� � '�b�91pq.0 � i �� � �`�w,y ,�'� � .. �-- .. ,-- e �,�:.�, �� �� � � � . �� �"> +i � � �•ij �� �� � fd� t N v 4- � � .... �- = . \ � � ` h , � ���� �� .. .. . .. � M ~� y � �� � � �� � � : �� , � �- �.�`— . \ , _. �" ,.:=M-.-.^� - _ � � . � � , �. , ,,.- � ; �-� �- - � °:1 �i ��2°� � �� �, � ( / � � .

There is adequate space on the sides and rear of the home to provide an addition. �'he majority of homes in the area would be unable to provide a 14'x16' addition to the side of their home, without encroaching on the side yard setbacks. Betterliving and Ms. Spry's response: � The irregular shape of this particular property and the particular location of the home on the lot make it difficult to put a properly sized sunroom , (14"X16') for a handicapped person without the minor encroachment on the side variance. Actually, most of the lots in St. Paul have 4' side setbacks. If ■ that were the case on this particular lot it would not be an issue. There � would be plenty of space without the need for this minor variance. � � � � I , l� lJ ' 3. BZA: The proposed variknce is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfof morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul. Mr. Madden's Response: Reduced level of�rivacy. Building out 14' closer to our properry reduces our level of privacy. The addition is situated quite a bit higher in elevation than our property. When I came home just after the Hearing and noted where the planned addition would be located, it was clear that the addition encroaching over 4' into the setback reduces our privacy and devalues our property. This is particularly evident frorn our bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and living room. See photos attached. As you can see, there are no trees or landscape other than some small shrubs to block the addition. In the winter months this privacy would be further reduced. � u � � � ' � ' ' � � � LJ � lJ !J � DZ-58, Poor DesiQn The width of the addition located on the east side of the homeowner's bedroom abuts the adjacent bay window. The roof slope of the addition does not match the architectural style of the home. The siding matches the current asbestos or large alum lap siding, but does not enhance the potential quality of the home. A sliding glass door is not in character with the home. We question that the addition, as proposed, increases value to the property, and we believer it devalues our property. Increased Noise The addition would be 14' closer to the adjacent home owner's property and will include three window air conditioners. We can already hear the air conditioners in her current bedroom windows and that noise would only intensify with the air conditioner units located 14' closer to our property. Concern with increased liQht pollution The owner's high illuminated security system is so bright that we are able to read at night without our lights on. We are concerned she will add more lights to her addition further polluting our property with artifzcial light at night. We have significant concerns the current untidiness of their yard will only get worse with this addition. The home owner's property is a rental property and is generally unkernpt. Trash and cars are parked right next to the fence and we are periodically picking up trash that blows from their yard onto ours. Adding an entry to this addition I believe will promote more untidiness especially between the existing bay window and the addition will promote untidiness due to difficult maintenance access. Last year we spoke with the home owner on sharing expenses for improving the area along the property line with landscaping in helping reduce the visibility of their unkempt yard, but she refused due to lack of available funds. Betterliving and Ms. Spry's response: The appellant's statement is not accurate. The variance is for a variance of 4' not 14'. The photos presented by the appellant have been taken using a zoom in feature that makes the addition appear to be far closer to the appellant's home than it actually is. The actual distance from the new addition to the appellant's , home is 38.3 feet at the very closet point. The average distance is over 40 feet from their home. (Please see the additional pictures presented on next page as � well as the surveyor's drawings showing the distance between the new sunroom and the neighbor's house to be over 40".

The room is positioned so as to provide an adequate area for Ms. Spry to move from her , bedroom to the sunroom in an advanced handicapped state. We investigated using a studio style (single slope} roof design but the gable style (double sloped) fit the existing style of the home more appropriately. As stated the t siding will match the e�sting siding and the color will be white as the rest of the house. The sliding glass door is chosen to facilitate access by a , wheelchair. The increased value may not only be measured in monetary values but an increase in the value of the quality of a handicapped person's ' life.

The assertion that there will be additional "high illuminated" lights is not accurate. There will be a single light illuminating the entry door as required by state building code. The sunroom will actually block the current security illumination making it less obtrusive for this neighbor. 4. BZA: 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. Mr. Madden's Response: The proposed addition will change the character of our property. Please see response under item 3. Betterliving and Ms. Spry's response: Not only is the new handicapped accessible sunroom over 40 feet from the neighbor's home it is also up a slope over 8 feet making it a non issue for the neighbors. We resubmit our same notes under item 3. Mr. Madden's other concerns: 1. Short schedule of notific'ation. • I first read of the proposed addition and variance request from a St. Antony Park community Council flyer received May 6. I then called the Council and asked if they had any additionad information. I received the enclosed abbreviated info�rnation from the City of St. Paul on the proposed addition at 2215 Como just 1 hour prior to the Hearing at 3: 00 PM, May 7. The complete packet was not sent to me until May 9, 2007. • I was told the city mailed out a notification on April 23. I have no record of receiving the notice. 2. Inadequate information prior to and during the Hearing in order to make an informed review. � U �'J �o- • The only illustration in the packet I received prior to the hearing was a hand sketched plan outline of the addition. See enclosed application packet I received on May 7. Clearly there was not adequate time to review or enough information for me to review prior to the hearing. • The applicant shoudd have included elevations and perhaps a rendering available fot review at the Hearing. It was only after the Hearing and after the variance was granted that I was sent the full packet of information which included a staff r-epo�-t and elevations. • The applicant requests encroaching 4'-3 ". This does not seem to include the overhang, which would encroach even fur into the setback. It also does not indude the window air conditioner units. The elevations indicate there will be a sliding door access to the addition as well. Are thezr steps to access this opening? Will there be a future deck or stairs to access this opening? Will this require another variance request? 3. Inaccurate survey � The survey is inaccurate. At first glance at the plan sketch, it is clear the existing garage is not located accurately. That said, the information provided gives me no assurance the addition is located accurately. 4. No explanation of hardship to qualify for a variance • The lot does no create any hardship in locating the addition. There are no easements or topographic concerns. The lot width is not narrower than normal (where the home is located on the lot) or smaller than the adjncent properties. • The reason given for the variance is because the homeowner would like more space added to her bedroom and that she is handicapped, which limits her mobility around the rest of her house. This reason for a variance sets a precedent for the city that anyone who is handicapped will qualify foY a variance. 5. Construction has begun on the addition! See photo attached taken on May 18. I was told by the city that construction could not begin until the appeal process had passed. The homeowner can still successfully add on to her home and not encroach on the setback. See sketches enclosed for options. If the committee still agrees on this variance, then the owner should be required to pay for a 30 foot long privacy • .:- fence or landscaping with coniferous trees located on or near the propet line. The design should be mutually agreed to. We would be happy to submit a design for consideration and work wzth the owner. This privacy screen wauld benefit both homeowners. Setterliving and Ms. Spry's response to Mr. Madden's other concerns: 1. Short schedule of notification: It is odd that Mr. Madden didn't get the notices as mailed by the city. All other interested parties received them as mailed in ample time for proper response. 2. Inadequate information The information presented was what was requested by the City of St. Paul and the Zoning Specialist Mr. John Hardwick. All information was available at the time of the initial hearing. The request was far the foundation variance. The overhang is minimal and is from 8' in the air to 11' at the peak. As this is a room for her to use with a wheelchair it will have an approved handicapped accessible ramp that will not encroach on any setbacks. There are no other decks, stairs or other additions that would require additional vanances. 3. There were no changes to the garage and therefore it was not in question. The addition as proposed is properly located on the building, between the rear wa11 and the bump out on the east side of the building. 4. The variance request and staff recommendations completely refute Mr. Madden's assertion that there is no explanation of hardship. This is an addition to enhance the quality of life for a handicapped person. We do not believe that the granting of this minor variance will set any precedence for other handicapped persons as each variance is measured on it`s own merits. 5. The footings were put in place because the permit was issued by the city. Betterliving Sunrooms was unaware of the appeal of the variance. At this time we have put this prpject on hold until the appeal has been rejected by the Zoning Board and the variance reestablished. The assertion that this handicapped homeowner can add the handicapped accessible sunroom without the variance is an unreasonable discrimination against a handicapped person. Multiple designs were considered and discussed with the City of St. Paul's building department prior to applying for this variance. Proposing the addition be placed on the north side of the house (Mr. Madden's option 2) is not feasible due to the configuration of the exterior stairs and the accessibility to the bedroom. In addition, consideration was given to creating a unique style that ran along the 9'setback (Mr. Madden's Option 1) but they all proved to provide inadequate mobility via a wheelchair, which is the express purpose of this space. It was recommended by the Building Department's staff that the variance be applied for as it will be a reasonable distance from the neighbor's home and will not encumber the neighbors use in any way. The recommendation that this handicapped homeowner pay for landscaping or fence is a disingenuous way of trying to get a neighbor to pay for something that the Madden's wanted in previous years. Mr. Madden has the ability to plant what ever he chooses on his property or put up a fence that is code compliant without asking his neighbor to pay for it. � ' n t` [r-s Of N t0 Ti � n O � z W 1 3 L � + C T� O n $` � � > 1'. a N z �d d .�-1 m � � d W N {V O T .-� ^ ` L I� O . � N z , U � LL • C Y � I �FDf! j tititi� ��N a C N O � C W � �� Y � O � 0 d � 6y �R W c '- mw a� � 0. � y m �a a c m �� L y .�i rv c O �p c m V � EI u t ro �a y Y (I� a�+ � f.
