Mr, Joseph Okoneski

Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of the,application.of John Commerford for a permit
for an 18 car private off-street parking lot in conjunction with a pro-
posed 18 unit apartment building to be constructed on property located
on the north side of•Grand Avenue between Fairview and Wheeler- Avenues.
The property is described as Lots 9 and 10, Block 3, Elmer & Morrison's
rearrangement of part of Macalester Park. The zoning is commercial and
has been.since the adoption of the Ordinance in 1922.
The site is presently occupied by a single - family residence and garage
which were built in 1899. The applicant proposes to remove the existing
structures and develop the property as indicated above. The property
has a frontage of 80 feet on Grand Avenue and extends to a depth of 200
feet, resulting in a total area of 16,000 square feet. North across
an alley is a substantial single - family residence fronting on Summit
Avenue; south directly across Grand Avenue is a single - family residence
fronting on Grand Avenue, also a commercial parking lot; east and went
adjoining are single - family residences fronting on Grand Avenue.
Field investigation discloses no basic objections to the proposed use.
The traffic engineer has approved the parking lot plan which meets the
standards for this type of facility. The recommended density standard
is exceeded by two units. The applicant is losing two apartment build-
ings because of the freeway.
In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends
the granting of the permit for an 18 car private parking lot on the
above described property in accordance with plans approved April 7, 1960.
Sincerely,
/ 4 .c. s►�,�.��. --�
