3 establislunent of a residentiai duplex as a legal nonconforming use at properiy commonly lmown as 451
4 Jayne St, [Parcel Identification Nuxnber 352922310024] and legally described as HUDSON ROAD
5 Gr1RDENS SUBJ TO ST THE E 1/2 OF LOT 8 BLK ,; and
6
7 WHEREAS, on July 31, 2008, the Commission's Zoning Committee, in accordance with Leg. Code §
8 61.303, duly conducted held a public hearing where all persons present were given an opportunity to be
9 heard regazding the said application; and
10
11 WHERAS, at the conciusion of testimony at the July 31, 2008 hearing, the Zoning Committee moved to
12 leave the public hearing open and further continue the matter to August 14, 2008 for the purpose of having
13 the applicanYs attorney provide additional documentation about occupants of the said property from 1997
14 through 2008; and
15
16 WHEREAS, on August 14, 2008, the Zoning Committee reconvened to consider any additional
17 information from the applicant and, at the close of the public hearing, the Committee moved to recommend
18 granting legal nonconforming use status to the said duplex; and
19
20 WHEREAS, on August 22, 2008, the Commission, based upon the zoning files, the recommendation of
21 staff and all the evidence presented to its Zoning Committee at the public heazings, as substantially
22 reflected in its minutes, the Commission moved to deny the said application based upon the following
23 findings as set forth in Commission Resolution No. 08-39 which is incorporated herein be reference:
24
25 1. An inspection of the properiy by staff from the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI)
26 on January 8, 2008, identified this property as an illegal duplex. Enforcement orders were
27 issued. An application to rezone the property to multi-family (similar to the property to the
28 west) was withdrawn by the applicant, who is now requesting legal nonconforming use
29 status for two units at the property.
30
31 2. Section 62.109(a) of the zoning code provides that the Pianning Commission may grant
32 legal nonconforxning use stahzs to use of structures if the commission makes eight findings.
33 The findings and the applicant's ability to meet them are as follows:
34
35 (1) The use occurs entirely within an existing structw-e. This condirion is met. The second unit
36 is in the lower level of the existing house

(2) The use or use of similar intensity permitted in the same clause of the zoning cade or in a
more restrictive zoning district has been existence continuously for a period of at least ten
years prior to the date of the application. This condition is not met. The applicant states that
the property was set up as a duplex when he purchased it in 1997, and that he has been
using it as such since that time. A forxner resident of the home states that when the
applicant purchased the property there were appliances in the lower level, and that they
were told it was being used as a duplex. An addenduxn to the purchase agreement lists
appliances in the lower level to be sold with the property. The seller's disclosure statement
at the tune of purchase in 1997 includes the changes to the house entrance that enabled
separate entrances to each unit. The applicant has submitted income taY records dating from
2004 that show income from the rental of the lower unit; however, records from 1947 to
2004 are apparentiy not available. The applicant has also submitted records from the Public
Housing Agency showing tenants in the second unit starting in December, 1999. However,
research by DSI staff concluded that the building may have been converted in 2004, and the
record of the 1497 Truth in Sale of Housing folder lists the property as a single family
residence. Ramsey County property tax records also list the property as having one
dwelling unit.
The applicant has failed to submit sufficient evidence that the use has been in existence
continuously for a period of ten years.
(3) The off-street parking is adequate to ser�ve the use. This condition is met. There is a two-car
garage attached to the house, which is adequate for two units.
63 (4) Hardship wouZd result if the use were discontinued. This condition is not met. If the
64 current use was discontinued, the applicant would incur a cost for de-converting the
65 property. He has provided a pro forma that shows loss of income to cover expenses for the
66 house. However, this information is insufficient to estabiish hardship.
67
68

73
(5) Rezoning the properfy would result in "spot" zoning or a zoning inappropriate to
surrounding land uses. This condition is met. While there is multi-family zoning
immediately west of the property, all of the property along Jayne Street is R2 One-Family
Residenfial and there is no duplex zoning in the area. The District 1 Community Council
and the Planning Commission recommended denial of the previous application to include
this property in RMl Multi-Family district to the west.
74
75 (6) fihe use will not be detr•imental to the exzsting character of development in the immediate
76 neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare. This condition is
77 met. The property can easily accommodate the second unit, and there aze other duplexes in
78 the immediate azea. Provided the units comply with all relevant building codes, there
79 should be no danger to the public health, safety, or general welfare.
80
81
�
D8 /15i�
82 (7) The use is consistent with che comprehensive plan. This condition is met. The Housing
83 Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan supports production of rental housing (Policy 53) and
84 the Land Use Plan supports a range of housing types (Objective 53). "I'he District 1 Plan
85 (adopted by the City Council in 2004) supports developing a variety of housing types.
86
87 (8) A notarized petition of two-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet the
88 property has been submitted stating their support for the use. This condition is met. The
89 petition was found sufficient on July 3, 2008: 12 pazcels eligible; 8 parcels required; 8
90 pazcels signed.

4. The Planning Commission has established guidelines for applications to establish legal
nonconforming use status for duplexes. While not themselves requirements, these
guidelines lay out additional more objective factors the Plaxming Commission wishes to
consider in deternuning if the required findings for granting nonconforming use permits
listed in § 62.109 of the Zoning Code can be made. The Platuiing Commission's Duplex
Conversion Guidelines state that far applications for nonconforming use permits for
triplexes in residential districts, staff will recommend denial unless the following guidelines
are met:
A. Lot size of at least 5, 000 square feet with a lot width or front footage of 40 feet. This
guideline is met. The lot width is 120 ft. and the lot azea is approximately 14,880 squaze
feet.
105 B. Gross living area, after completion of duplex conversion, of at least 1, 800 square feet. This
106 guideline is met. According to the applicant the gross living area for both units is
107 approximately 2000 square feet.
108
109 C. Three off-street parking spaces (non-stacked) are preferred,� two spaces are the required
110 minimum. A site plan showing improved (durable, permanent, dustless surface) parking
111 spaces must be provided. This guideline is met. There are two off-street parking spaces in
112 the attached garage. There also appears to be room for a stacked space in the driveway.
113
114 D. All remodeling work for the duplex is on the inside of the structure. This guideline is met.
115 Both units are contained within an existing structure and no remodeling is required.
116
117 E. The proposed duplex structure is located in a mixed density neighborhood, not a
118 homogeneous single family area or in an area where duplexes and triplexes are already
119 concentrated to the point of congesting neighborhood streets. This guideline is met. There
120 is a mix of one-family, two-family, and multi-family residences in the immediate area and
121 multiple family zoning borders the property to the west.
122
123
'�
f}'8-� f5�
124 F. A code compliance inspection has been conducted and the unit is found to be up to the
125 housing code standards; or the property owner has agreed to make the necessary
126 improvements to bring it to housing code compliance. This guideline is met. City staff
127 bave inspected the property and found it to be in code compliance.
128
129 G. An economic feasibiliry analysis has been conducted for those cases where economic
130 hardship is claimed as one reason for the variance request. Appticant should supply city
131 staff with the necessary information. This guideline is not met. The duplex pro forma and
132 information sheets have been submitted. However, the information supplied is insufficient
133 to establish economic hardship.
134
135 WHEREAS, On August 26, 2008, Stephen E. Law, pursuant to Leg. Code § 61.702 (a), duly filed an
136 appeal (PED Zoning File No. 08-139-256) from the determination made by the Commission and requested
137 a hearing before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Commission;
138 and

On July 1, 2008, you appfied for establishment of legal nonconforming use status as a duplex
for 451 Jayne St. After a public hearing by the Saint Paul Planning Commission's Zoning
Committee on July 29 and August 14, 2008, the full Commission voted to deny your request on
August 8, 2008. Enclosed is the Pianning Commission's resolution stating its findings and
deoision. The fuli Commission found that there was insufficient evidence that the second unit
had been in continuous existence for ten years or that hardship would result if the use were
discontinued.
The Planning Commission's decision may be appealed to the City Council by filing an appeal
and fee ($435) within ten days of the date of the Planning Commission's decision. In this
particular case, the date of the appeal deadline is Tuesday, September 2, 2008, since the tenth

City Hall Annex. The appeal should be based on what you believe to be an error of fact, finding,
or procedure of the Planning Commission. An appeal application is enclosed.
Minnesota Statutes 15.99 requires that all city action on zoning applications be compieted within
60 days of the date the application is made, but allows the City to extend this period for an
additional 60 days (total of 120 days). In order to allow time for a City Council public hearing on
an appeal while meeting deadlines established by siate law, the City of 5aint Paul is hereby
extending the deadline for action on this application from August 29, 2008 to October 28, 2008.

Use status as a duplex under the provisions of � 62.109(a) of the Saint Paul Legislative Code, on property
tocated at 451 Jayne St, Parcel Identificatio� Number (PIN) 352922310024, legally described as
HUDSON ROAD GARDENS SUBJ TO ST THE E 1/2 OF LOT 8 BLK 1; and
�
WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Pianning Commission, on Juty 31 and August 14, 2008, heid a
pubiic hearing at which all persons present were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant to said
appiication in accordance with the requirements of � 61.303 of the Saint Paul Legisiative Code; and
WHEREAS, the Saint Paui Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning
Committee at the public hearing as substantiaily reflected in the minutes, made the following findings of
fact:
1. An inspection of the property by staff from the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) on
January 8, 2008, identified this property as an illegal duplex. Enforcement orders were issued. An
application to rezone the property to multi-family (similar to the property to the west) was withdrawn by
the applicant, who is now requesting legal nonconforming use status for two units at the property.
2. Section 62.109(a) of the zoning code provides that the Planning Commission may grant legal
nonconforming use status to use of structures if the commission makes eight findings. The findings
and the applicanYs ability to meet them are as follows:
(1) The use occurs entirely wifhin an existing sfructure. This condition is met. The second unit is in
the lower Ievel of the existing house
(2) The use or use of simila� intensity permitted in the same clause of the zoning code o� in a more
restrictive zoning district has.been existence continuously for a period of at /east ten years prior to
the date of the application. This condition is not met. The applicant states that the property was
set up as a duplex when he purchased it in 1997, and that he has been using it as such since that
time. A former resident of the home states that when the applicant purchased the property there
were appiiances in the lower level, and that they were toid it was being used as a dup�ex. An
addendum to the purchase agreemeni lists appliances in the lower level to be soid with the
property. The selier's disclosure statement at the time of purchase in 1997 includes the changes
to the house entrance that enabled separate entrances io each unit. The applicant has submitted
income tax records dating from 2004 that show income from the rental of the lower unit; however,
records from 1997 to 2004 are apparentiy not avaitabte. The applicant has aiso submitted records
from the Public Housing Agency showing tenants in the second unit starting in December, 1999.
However, research by DSI staff concluded that ihe building may have been converted in 2004,
and the record of the 1997 Truth in Sale of Housing folder lists the property as a singie family
residence. Ramsey County property tax records aiso list the property as having one dwelling unit.

The applicant has failed to submit sufficient evidence that the use has been in existence
continuously for a period of ten years.
(3) The off-street parking is adequate to sen�e the use. This condition is met. There is a two-car
garage attached to the house, which is adequate for two units.
(4) Hardship would result if fhe use were discontinued. This condition is nof inef. If fhe current use
was discontinued, the appiicant would incur a cost for de-converting the property. He has
provided a pro forma that shows loss of income to cover expenses for the house. However, this
information is insufficient to establish hardship.
(5) Rezoning the property would result in °spoY' zoning or a zoning inappropriate to surrounding land
uses. This condition is met. While there is multi-family zoning immediately west of the property, all
of the property along Jayne Street is R2 One-Family Residential and there is no duplex zoning in =
the area. The District i Community Council and the Pianning Commission recommended denial

made. The Planning Commission's Duplex Conversion Guidelines state that for applications for
nonconforming use permits for triplexes in residential districts, staff will recommend denial unless the

whether the City will allow development to happen between now and when the Hamline
station is built that wi[I undercut our ability at some future point to do it right The Tazget
siore at Hamtine will sell off iYS University Avenue frontage lots in the ne2:t yeaz and the

�"J`' #08-107-826 Stephen Law — Establishment of legal nonconforming use status as a duplex. 451
Tayne Street between Conway and Wilsan. (Patricia.7ames, 651/266-b639)
Commissioner Bellus asked for clarification of whether there aze nonconforming duplexes in the •
azea, and the star[ing point for the 10 years existence of the illegal unit.
�3 i i5�
�
Patricia James said that the other duplexes in the area aze ]egally nonconforming duplexes. She
atso said there was written testimony from a person who was with Stephen Law when he
purchased the property in 1997, and this person stafed that there was a unit with a kitchen in the
basement. So there is conflicting evidence between what is on the Truth in Sale of Housing
report and what this person said that she saw when the properry was purchased. Technically the
10 yeazs of existence woald start in 1948.
Commissioner Bellus said that the main issue is the owner bought it as a single family residence,
and it was identified as that at the time of the purchase, and then subsequently converted it
illegaliy.
Ms. James stated that the person who bought the house claims that �uhen he looked at the house it
was a duplex, he was told by the realtor it was duplex, but the Truth in Sale of Housing inspection
said that it was a single family and Ramsey County has classified it as single family
Commissioner Bellus said that if it has been taxed as a single family residence, property taaces
have not been paid as a duplex. And he has owned this property for I Q years or more.
Ms. James said was correct. The person who bought the house says that when he looked at the
house it was a duplex and he was toid by the realtor it was duplex. But the Truth in Sale of
Housing inspection said that it was single family and Ramsey County has classified it as single
fam i ly. '
• Commissioner Ivlorton said that she voted against this at the Zoning Committee because they do
not have proof that this has been a duplex continuously for ten yeazs, and this condition cannot be
modified. She noted that the reseazch by DSI staff c�oncluded that the building may have been
converted in 2004, and the 1997 Truth in Sale of Housing inspection lists it as a single family
residence.
More discussion followed.
MOTION TO APPROVE: Commissioner Morton moved the Zoning Committee's
recommendation to approve lhe legal nonconforming use status. The motion failed on voice
vote of I-14 (Alton, Barrera, Bellus, Dnnnetty-Cohen, Faricy, Johnson, %ramer, Lu, Morton;
Smitten, Nelson, Spaulding, Ward and Wenc!).
The Chair Alton clazified that the vote was nofa�rmatively to deny, but that the Commission
failed to pass the motion to approve. Under Section 15.99 on zoning deadlines and procedures, if
the staff recommendation is to approve arid the commission votes in opposition to it, then
members aze required individually fo state on the record their reasons for voting against it.
Accordingly, the Chair would like each member to state his or her reasons for voting in
opposirion to the recommendation for approval.
Commissioner Be(lus said that his major reason was that he cannot find economic hardship; in
fact, there has been economic gain because the property has been taaced as a single family house,
not as a duplex. He also did not think the 10-year continuous use has been proven factually.
. Commissioner Smitten said her reason was lack of 10-year informarion.
d �
•
Commissionei Kramer said he voted in opposition because of incomplete informarion on the 10-
year time period and lack of available informarion to make an evalua6on on the economic
hazdship:
Commissioner Lu stated her reasons were the same as those of Commissioner Bellus.
Commissioner Wazd stated his reasons were $�e same as those of Commissioner Bellus.
Commissioner Spaulding stated his reasons were the same as those of Commissioner Bellus.
Commissioner Barrera stated his reasons were the same as those of Commissioner Bellus.
Commissioner Johnson stated his reasons were the same as those of Commission� Bellus.
Commissioner Faricy said her reason was lack of the 10-year information.
Commissioner Nelson stated his reasons were the same as those of Commissioner Bellus and also
a tack of evidence, other then a statement by the property owner, that there aze more than 1800
square feet of living area: LTsually applicants give the Ptanning Commission floor pians with
dimensions.
Commissioner Morton said her reason is lack of 10-yeaz information. .
Commissioner ponnelly-Cohen stated her reasons were the same as ti�ose of Commissioners

E. ZONING CODE CITATION: § 62.109(a) lists the conditions under which the Planning Commission
may grant a permit to establish legai nonconforming use status.
F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: A previous application to rezone this property to RM1 was withdrawn by
the applicant (Zoning File # 08-040-506).
G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The District 1 Council recommends approval.
H. FINDINGS:
1. An inspection of the property by staff from the Qepartment of Safety and Inspections (DSI) on
January 8, 2008, identified this property as an illegal duplex. Enforcement orders were issued.
An application to rezone the, prope�ty to multi-family (similar to the ptoperty to the west} was
withdrawn by the applicant, who is now requesting legal nonconforming use status for two units at
the property.
2. Section 62.109(a) of the zoning code provides that the Planning Commission may grant legal
nonconforming use status to use of structures if the commission makes eight findings. The
findings and the applicanYs ability to meet them are as follows:
(1) The use occurs entirely within an existing structure. `fhis condition is met. The second unit is
in the lower level of the existing house
(2) The use or use of similar intensity permitted rn the same clause of the zoning code or in a
more restrictive zoning district has been existence continuously for a period of at /east ten
years prior to the date of the application. This condition appears to be met. The applicant
states that the property was set up as a duplex when he purchased it in 1997, and that he has
been using it as such since that time. A former resident of the home states that when the
appiicant purchased the property there were appliances in the lower level, and that they were
told it was being used as a duplex. An addendum to the purchase agreement lists appliances
in the lower level to be sold with the property. The seller's disclosure statement at the time of
purchase in 1997 inc�udes the changes to the house entrance that enabled separate
entrances to each unit. However, research by DSI staff concluded that the building may have
been converted in 2004. The record of the 1997 Truth in Sale of Housing folder lists the
property as a single family residence. Ramsey County property tax records also list the
property as having one dwelling unit. The applicant has submitted income tax records dating
from 2004 that show income from the rental of the lower unit; however, records from 1997 to
2004 are apparently not available.

from 2004 that show income from the rental of the fower unit; however, records from 1997 to
2004 are apparently riot available.
(3) The off-street parking is adequate to serve the use. This condition is met. There is a two-car
garage attached to the house, which is adequata for two unifs,
(4) Hardship would result if fhe use were discontinued. This condition is met. If the current use
was discontinued, the applicant would incur a cost for de-converting the property. He has
provided a pro forma that shows loss of income to cover expenses for the house.
(5) Rezoning the properfy would result in °spoY' zoning or a zoning inappropriate to surrounding
land uses. This condition is met. While there is multi-family zoning immediately west of the
property, all of the property along Jayne Street is R2 One-Family Residential and there is no
duplex zoning in the area. The District 1 Commun+ty Councii and the Plartning Commission
recommended denial of the previous application to include this property in RM1 Multi-Family
districf fo the west.
(6) The usa wi!! not be detrimental to fhe existing character of development in the immediate
heighborhood or endanger the public health, safety, or general weffare. This condition is met.
The property can easily accommodate the second unit, and there are other duplexes in the
immediate area. Provided the units comply with all relevant building codes, there should be
roo dar+ger to the public health, safety, or general welfare.
(7) The use is consistent with the comprehensive pfan. This condition is met. The Housing
Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan supports production of rental housing (Policy 5.3) and the
Land Use Plan supports a range of housing types (Objective 5.3). The District 1 Plan
(adopted by the City Councii in 2004) supports developing a variety of housing types.
(8) A notarized petition of two-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet the •
property has been submitted stating their support for the use. This condition is met. The
petition was found sufficient on July 3, 2008: 12 parcels eligible; 8 parcels required; 8 parcels
signed.
4. The Planning Commission has established guidelines for applications to establish legal
nonconforming use status for duplexes. While not themselves requirements, these,guidelines lay
out additional more objective factors the Planning Commission wishes to consider in determining
if the required findings for granting nonconforming use permits listed in § 62.109 of the Zoning
Code can be made. The Planning Commission's Duplex Conversion Guidelines state that for
applications for nonconforming use permits for triplexes in residentia! districts, staff will
recommend denial unless the following guidelines are met:
A. Lot size of at least 5, 000 square feet with a lot widfh or front footage of 40 feet. ThPs guideline
is met. The lot width is 120 ft. and the lot area is approximately 14,880 square feet.
B. Gross living area, aRer completion of duplex conversion, of at least 1, 800 square feet. This
guideline is met. According to the applicant the gross living area for both units is
approximately 2000 square feet.
C. Three off-street parking spaces (non-stacked) are preferred; two spaces are the required
minimum. A site plan showing improved (durable, permanent, dustfess surFace) parking
spaces must be provided. This guideline is met. There are two off-street parking spaces in the
attached garage. There also appears to be room for a stacked space in the driveway.
D. All remodeling work for the dup/ex is on the inside of the structure. This guideline is met. Both
units are contained within an existing structure and no remodeling is required.
E. The proposed d�plex structure is located in a mixed density neighbarhood, not a •
homogeneous single-family area or in an area where duplexes and triplexes are already
coneentrated to the point of'congesting neighborhood streets. This guideline is met. There is
a mix of one-family, two-family, and muiti-family residences in the immediate area, and
multiple family zoning borders the property to the west.

F. A code compiiance inspection has been conducted and the unit is found to be up to the
housing code standards; or the property owner has agreed to make the necessary
improvements to bring it to housing code compliance. This guideline is met. City staff have
inspecfed the property and fourtd it to be in code compliance.
G. An economic feasibility analy"sis has been conducted fo� fhose cases where economic
hardship is claimed as one reason for the variance request. Appficant shoutd supply city staff
with the necessary information. This guideline is met. The iiuplex pro forma and information
sheets are attached.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of a
Nonconformirig Use Permit to establishment legal nonconforming use status as a duplex for property
at 451 Jayne Street, subject to the condition that any improvements necessary to bring the house
into compliance with applicable housing code standards are made within six months of the date of
the permit.

• To Whom It May Concern:
I was with Steve Law when he purchased ihe property at 451 3ayne Stteet in East St.
Paul. The house had a complete kitchen including appliances (refrigerator, stove,
dishwasher, garbage ctisposal} and sink when he purchased it in I977.The reaitor told us
tbat the property was being used as a duplex so Mr. Law continued to rent the property
out as a duplex. This properly has 3 entry ways into the lower level and 2 entry ways into
the upper IeveL This property was set up as a duplex when Mr. Law purchased it.

Subject: Re: Stephen Law....dates I had PHA tenants...a
Here is the requested info regarding your resident. These are atl the payments
paid to you to present. It looks like the 1st paymentwas made on 12/1199. The
move in date for Lynn Cooper was 10/19/99, the move in date for F.
Harris-Simmons was 1/1/02 and the move in date for Tamela Redd was 3/40/OS. It
you need any other info, please let me know.
There is no cfiarge for this since I just had to run these 2 reports. No
research needed.
Thanks

Subject: renters at 451 Jayne street
Patricia,
The resuits of the reverse look-np seazch for 451 Jayne Street at the St. Paul Public library are as foilows:
(Library policy does not allow photocopying of the directories)
1994-1998 I3o listings.
1999 Polk City Directory v.3 new listing Law, Stephen E.;714-0550; Roob, John L.; Roob, Linda D.
2000-20Q1 No listings.

� ere appears to be a delay in the reporting as I had a phone installed in 1998. Since then Ibe l�ad
ne service through Comcast and T-Mobile that does not appear in the directories.
Linda Roob and I had a discussion yesterday regazding the tenants. She and I both recall the first tenant being a
woman that I rented to in late 1948. However neither of us can recall her name.
Peace,
Steve Law

The District I CommuniTy Council Board of Directors met with Mr. Stephen Law at our April
28�' Board Meeting when he was proposing to rezone a portion of Jayne Street and Wilson
Avenue. At that tima, we suggested to him that a more reasonabie approach to addressing his
problems with tus property was to seek a non-conforming use permit.
Now that he is seeking such a permit, the Council fully sapports his request. We feel that
granting this permit will address both his needs and the concerns of the community that the
current chazacter of the neighborhood remains strong.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Betsy Leach
Community Organizer
For the Board of Directors
Our mission is to create opportunities for the peopie who live and work in our neighborhoods to engage with each other and with our govemment
officials in prder to bu��d a more vibrant and welcommg community,
