January 6, 1960 Mr. Joseph Okoneski City Clerk ` Building Dear Sir This is in the matter of the appeal of-the Archdiocese of St. Paul to establish a new building line on prbpertyllocated on the south side of Summit Avenue near Selby Avenue. The property is described as Lots 1, 2, 3, Block 70, Dayton and Irvine's and Lots 1 and 2, Otis Rearrangement of Lots 11 thr� uu 17 flock Q4: Dayton and Irvine s Addit on an a part of oaca ed Chestnut Street adjoining said real estate.. The zoning is 'W' Residence. Part of this property was formerly occupied by the Wilder home, which in later i years was used, as the Archbishop's residence, and more recently as an office build- ing.-for Catholic organizations. It has now been removed and the applicant proposes to erect a new Archbishop's residence and Chancery building. This property has a frontage along Summit Avenue of approximately 404 feet and an average depth of approximately 300 feet producing an approximate area of 155,400 square feet, or 3.57 acres. The terrain of the tract is very rugged, the rear portion having a 357o grade. In-order to develop the site to the best advantage, the applicant is requesting a• 28 foot building � line for T�� a� Otis Rearrangement of Lots 11 thru 17 Block, 63 T�1a ton a on and the east one -half of tC �r I =fiwa.x s.m�w..vq�a,�cs�x+nw.m vacated Chestnut Street adjoining said Lot which would only to the proms 47 posed Cbancer buildin J He is also requesting a l0foot buil in�T line for to s I°°a 2, Block 70� _Dayton and Irvine's Additio t e west one -half of va�cate�d Chestnut Street adjoinin o or he ur ose of erecting a seven -foot sa•�..,�,.�........,,..,.. high ornamental grille t the entrance to the forma co rat o, ,,c, b sho s rest ence. North and adjoining the property under consideration is Cathedral park; southwest- erly and adjoining is the Diocesan office building which f ronts)on Summit Avenue; northwesterly across-Summit Avenue is the Cathedral parking lot; southwesterly and adjoining at a much lower elevation are various multi- residential and commercial uses fronting on Pleasant Avenue. Field investigation discloses no objections to the proposed building lines as they would not affect the adjoining properties.p nor would they deviate from the purpose and intent of the Ordinance. The topography of this tract is such that it would create hardship on the applicant if compelled to comply with the normal set backs. One of the proposed routes of the Pleasant Avenue leg of the Interetate Freeway would directly affect this property. This question has been checked with the Minne- sota Highway Department and the St. Paul Public Works Department. It now has been definitely determined that this proposed route has been discarded in favor of a more practical alignment. Therefore, the property in question will in no way be i volved in the Freeway right -of -way. A letter to this effect from the Minnesota Hig ay Department is attached to this file. 4 ' v Archdioce_se -of St. Paul - Page 2 In accordance with the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the granting of the appeal to establish building lines as outlined above for the above described property in accordance with plans approved December 17, 1959.
