Dear Madam:
OF SAINT PAUL
SAINT PAUL 2, MINNifbTA
September 21,:1960
This is in the matter of the appeal of the Commonwealth Nursing Home Inc.
to construct an addition to their existing nursing home on property located
on the west side of Commonwealth Avenue between Como and geston Avenues.
This would increase the capacity from 64 beds to 102 beds. The property
is described as Lots 7 through 11 inclusive, -Block 38, St.Antbony Park North.
This property'was rezoned to "C" residence in July 1958 for the purpose of
establishing the existing nursing home. Lots 7, 8, and 9 are presently
developed with a large three -story brick building which was remodeled in
1958 for the nursing home use. There is a vacant two -story brick building
on Lot 10, and Lot 11 is part of the yard area of the nursing home. The
applicant proposes to remove the two -story structure and construct a one -
story addition to the existing nursing home. This addition will occupy
portions of both Lots 10 and 11. It should be pointed out that the proposed
addition is being designed for a possible second story in the future.
The site has a frontage of 267 feet along '-Commonwealth Avenue and an average
depth of 157 feet resulting in an area-of approximately-41,383 square feet.
The entire surrounding area is developed residentially with the exception
of the recently constructed Children's Home Society of Minnesota headquarters
which is to the north and fronts on both Como and Commonwealth Avenues.
Field investigation discloses no objections as the increased capacity of
the nursing home should not create a detrimental effect on the residential
development adjoining and in the area. The applicant's plans have been
approved by the City Health Department, State Health Department, State
Fire Marshall, St. Paul Fire PreventionBureau -,and the City Architect.
In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the
granting of the appeal to construct an addition to an existing nursing home
facility increasing the bed capacity from 64 beds to 102 beds in accordance
with the applicant's plans dated August 15, 1960.
Sincerely,
H. C. Wieland
