This is in the matter of the appeal of Clarence Whalen to con-

o -Der &.v- corner of Prior and Laure
AVenues.�,o�►,aescrbedasLot 10. _except then
5 ee t ereof, Block 16, Second Addition to Merriam Park.
The zoning is — residence.
The property under consideration is vacant and has a frontage
of 50 feet on Laurel Avenue and 95 feet on Prior Avenue result-
ing in an area of 4,750 square feet. The area uses are predomi-
nantly single and two- family residential. Chapter 60.02 of the
Legislative Zoning Code requires a minimum lot area of 5,000
square feet for a single - family residence in an "A" residence
district. It is therefore necessary for the applicant to appeal
to the City Council for permission to construct the proposed
residence.
Field investigation discloses no objection as the proposed use
will be compatible with the existing area uses. The denial of
this request would serve a definite hardship on the applicant
as it would render the lot unbuildable. The area deficiency is
250 square feet, or approximately 5,
The Board of Zoning considered this matter at their regular
meeting on December 7, 1961 and recommend the granting of the
appeal to construct a single - family residence on the above
described property.

Re: Lot 10, Block 161•Sec ®n1 Addition Merriam Park
except the North 55 feet thereof.
Gentlemen:
Iam the purchaser of the above described premises, which is a•
corner lot located at Prier and Laurel Avenues. This lot is 50
feet by 95 feet, and is being purchased for $3000.00.
Prior to negotiating the purchase, I cleared with the office of
the City of St. Paul issuing building permits and was informed I
would have no obstacle in the issuance of a building permit for
a single family residence. Relying on.this; I entered into an
Earnest Money Contract to purchase said Let.
On submitting of plans for issuance of building permit, I was
informed the lot was 270 square feet below minimum size and a
permit could not be issued.
I am now informed that the ordinance allows a 10% allowance for
the required area on a corner lot. I believe this lot meets this
qualification.
Therefore, I respectfully request the City Council to take such
action as would enable me to procure a building permit for the
building contemplated.
Respectfully subnitted,
Clarence Whalen
