Dear Madam: �$
This is in the matter o 1) the appe 1 to relax the off - street parking lot
requirements for multi- amily resident al development, and 2) an application
for a permit to install and operate a 56 car private off- street parking lot
in conjunction with a unit apartment building to be constructed on property
located on the south side-of Morgan Avenue and the north side of St. Paul Ave-
nue between Edgcumbe Road and Davern Street. The property is described as
Lots 1, 2, 3, and the east 2.4,feet of Lot 4, Bock 3, also Lots 6 thru 14, Block
4, all being "in Granpert Addition. The property was rezoned to "C" residence on
November 19, 1960, C. F. 199483, 5_Soor
The site is presently vacant, and the applicant proposo develop it with a
two story brick -faced apartment building containinganits of housing for
senior citizens with 56 car spaces for off- street parking accessory thereto.
This property has a street frontage of 575.2 feet on both Morgan and St. Paul
Avenues, and a distance between the two streets of 138.8 feet (this includes
a vacated alley adjoining St. Paul Avenue on the north) resulting in an -area
of approximately 79,867 square feet. The adjacent land uses are described in
the letter of appeal to establish a new building line set back on both St. Paul
and Morgan.Avenues.
Chapter 60.23, Section 3, paragraph "al' of the Zoning Code requires one parking
space for each unit in a multi- residential development. It is the opinion of
the applicant, based on housing developments for senior citizens'in other areas,
that a need for a one- to-one off - street parking ratio is not necessary. There-
fore, he is appealing for the relaxation of this ratio standard.
The Traffic Engineer has approved the plans which meet the standards for this
type of facility. The proposed development meets the required standards for
building ground coverage and density. The Board of Zoning is of the opinion
that the requested relaxation is reasonable. L A
wlb r
The Board considered the matter at its regular tang on April 6, 1961, and
recommend 1) the granting of the appeal to reWx the off-street parking lot
requirements to permit 56 car spaces for adjPunit apartment building, and 2)
the granting of the permit for a 56 car private off- street parking lot on the
above described property in accordance with plans approved April 6, 1961. How-
ever, if at any time, the use of this structure is not limited to senior citizens,
the parking facilities should be extended o provide one parking space for each
unit in the building, or an additionalspaces.

The apartments are being developed for the oc-
cupancy of "Senior Citizens" and are patterned after similiar
developments in the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Experience
has shown that -the car ownership in this age group actually
averaged about 50 to 55 %. The ratio requested for this group
of buildings is 82% and the rental of these apartments will be
confined to pepple who are at least 60 years or older.
FILED
961 APR 3 AN 9 38
We are enclosing a letter from Mr. George Bockl,
who is the owner and developer of a 96 unit project for Senior
Citizens; and another letter from Mr. Robert Kemp the architect
who designed the buildings and is presently engaged in designing
two similiar projects.
We would also like to point out that with front-
age on two Streets and access to the buildings from both Streets
that we have 1150t of Street Parking for visitors.
We ask that our parking requirements be establ-
ished at 56 spaces instead of the requir$d 1 to 1 parking ratio.
