Dear Madam;
H. O'Connell
August 7, 1962
This is in the matter.of the Grandview Corporation's 1) application for a
permit for an 18 car private off- street parking lot in conjfinction with a
proposed 18 unit apartment building on property located on the east side of
Edgcumbe Road between St. Paul and Morgan Avenues and described as Lots 11,
12, 13, Block 3, Granpgrt Addition and the west one -half of the vacated alley
adjoining said lots, and 2) appeal to waive the required 8 foot buffer for
parking lots on the northerly 75.5 feet at the east property line, and 3)
appeal to establish a 6.23 foot set back from St. Paul Avenue by relaxing the
required 14 foot set back.
On December 24, 1960, this property was rezoned from "A" to "C" residence,
(C.F. 199512). The subject property is vacant and it is proposed to develop
it as above indicated. The property has a frontage of 130.98 feet on Edg-
cumbe Road and 138 feet on both St. Paul and Morgan Avenues. The total area
of the tract is 18,078 square feet.
Because of the frontage on three streets, set backs are required from each
street. Therefore, in order to develop it to its capacity, it is necessary
to secure the variances as indicated. A portion of the parking for the pro-
posed apartment building will be along the east property line and adjacent to
the parking lot of an apartment building under construction. It is for this
portion that the appeal is made to relax the 8 foot buffer. The owner of the
adjacent property has indicated that be does not object to the requested re-
laxation if a 5J foot decorative fence is provided and the applicant's plan
provides for said fence. The building line on 8t. Paul Avenue has been estab-
lished as 14 feet. Due to a jog in the property line on St. Paul Avenue, the
property under consideration is 7.77 feet less in depth than the adjoining
property to the east. With a building line of 6.23 feet, the subject structure
will align with the building under construction. However, it should be pointed
out that 6.23 feet is a very minimal set back and the City Architect has in-
dicated that this dimension should be increased.
To the east and adjoining is anew multiple family structure now under con-
struction; south across St. Paul Avenue is a new fire station; across
Edgcumbe Road to the west are single and two - family residences and across
Morgan Avenue to the north are single- family residences.
The Traffic Engineer has approved the plans which meet the standards for this
type of facility contingent on the approval of the requested variances. Field
investigation discloses no basic objection as the property was rezoned for
this purpose. The proposed development meets the required standards for den-
sity and building ground coverage.
