PAUL INTER - OFFICE COMMUNICATION 8 February 17, 1960 Mr. Eugene V. Avery Chief Engineer. Department Dear Mr. Avery: As requested by Mr. R. W. Winchell in his letter of February 9, 1960 we reviewed the apartment parking lots on the north side of Seventh west of Hazel. Though the parking area supplied for the adjoining apartments is not used to full advantage, the city ordinance requires that it be pro- vided. The new parking area which is being requested should not have ap- preciable effect on the traffic on Hazel or E. Seventh St. It will ne- cessitate a few additional! vehicles use the alley. At the time the park- ing lot plans were submitted and as approved, the layouts were very ade- quate. However, as pointed out h y.Mr. Winchell in his recent letter, portable curbs defining all parking lot separations and confining the access to the alley have not been installed. The block on the north side of Seventh west of Hazel is zoned com- mercial. We have no way of knowing what commitments were made regarding the landscaping of the lot in question, and, therefore, could not on a traffic basis refuse this parking lot application. We do feel, however, that Mr. Sullivan should be required to comply with the parking lot plans which were approved in the original request for permits. The apartment building owner who is applying for an additional park- ing lot on the northwest corner of E. Seventh and Hazel should arrange to have snow plowed away from the alley so as not to restrict access to the garages fronting to the north. The lot on the northwest corner of Seventh and Hazel, if used as a proper parking area, should prevent in- fringements for eastbound cars avoiding the alley barricade at Hazel. Unless other commitments were made of which we are not aware, I do -not feel the request for a parking lot at this location can be ^.reftjsed from a traffic standpoint.

MINNESOTA • TELEPHONE PR. 6 - 8 5 1 1 February 9, 1960 Mr.-Eugene Avery, Chief Engineer Department of Public Works Court House Saint Paul, Minnesota Dear Mr. Avery: Several years ago, when you were Traffic Engineer, we the residents of Stillwater Avenue, between Van Dyke and Hazel Streets, petitioned to have the alley between Stillwater and E. 7th Street, and for the afore- said block closed to through traffic. At that time, the alley was being used excessively for cars going to and from the dump. As I remember at that time, we had concluded that an open alley would prove a safety hazard with the traffic swinging around from E. 7th Street to Stillwater. You will, no doubt recall, that a barrier was placed at the end of the alley abutting Hazel Street. To the best of our knowledge, this has been a perfect solution and we have heard no complaints. Mr. John J. Sullivan received a permit to build six apartment buildings with ten apartments in each. He applied for a parking lot for 60 cars. Shortly thereafter, he decided to make 11 apartments in each building and applied for additional parking space. Ultimately, he received permission for parking 72 cars for the 66 apartments. Individually, and at a council session, he assured us that cement barriers and definite ingress and egress lanes would be established. The northwest corner of E. 7th Street and Hazel was still unfilled, but he assured us that the corner was to be landscaped. He also assured us that they did not want the alley opened at Hazel and that the landscaping would assure no opening. Mr. Sullivan had individual parking spaces painted on the parking lot, but he has not installed barriers as promised. This winter he had his lots plowed, however, the snow was pushed in piles into the alley instead of being hauled away. This resulted in two families with double garages on the north side of the alley, being able to use only one side. With no barriers erected, his tenants drive in and out any place and way, and at times it is actually dangerous to attempt to take a car from the garage.

Mr. Eugene Avery, Chief Engineer Department of Public Works• - 2 - February 9, 1960 Saturday, we received a notice of another application by Mr. Sullivan for an additional 11 car parking space. This is to be made on the corner of E. 7th and Hazel Streets, evidently, in the area promised to be landscaped. I am attaching hereto a thermofax copy of the notice we received. This area was filled in last fall, and since the ground has been frozen, it has been used constantly as a cutover to the alley defeating the blockade. I have noted that even city squad cars use this route. On Monday morning, February 8, there was another fire at the dump and the fire department blocked Seventh Street, hence, the alley was used as a thoroughfare rather than Stillwater Avenue, We cannot understand the need for additional parking space for these apartments and feel that Mr. Sullivan wishes to use it as other than tenant parking. I checked the current parking area last evening at 10:30 P.M., and counted 23 cars parked in the present 66 car area. It is my understanding that only a few apartments remain unrented. We also feel that additional parking area would prove a safety hazard with the busy traffic at that corner of E. 7th Street. The public hearing for this application is set for February 18. We would appreciate your looking into this matter and advising us of any information which 'is available. I want to personally extend my thanks for the fine cooperation you have rendered in connection with some of the problems which have faced us in this area. Yours very truly, R. W inchell Stillwater avenue St. Paul 19, Minnesota RWW: gt encl .................. . ?�t� CIZD OF ZONING, CITY ktQiti- (4]251.282:252 1115 CITY HAIL AND COURT HOUSE Mr. Joseph Okoneski City Clerk B u.Uding Dear Sir: OF SAINT PAUL /AIN* PAUL 2. MII4141I0TA Fet ruary 17,. 1960 This is in the matter of the application of John J. Sullivan for a permit to install and operate an 11 -car private parking lot in conjunction with an 11 -unit apartment Building located at the northwest corner of Hazel and East Seventh Street. The legal description is: Lots 29 and 30, Block 8, Hazel Park Division #4 and that part of vacated East Seventh Street and Hazel Avenue adjoining said lots. The zoning is "Commercial" and- has been since the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in 1.922• . • The property is presently vacant, and the applicant proposes to con- struct an 11 -unit apartment building with 11 private off - street parking spaces accessory thereto. The site has a frontage of 77.5 feet on East Seventh Street and extends to a depth of 149.26 feet, which results in a total area of approximately 11,568 square feet. The adjacent land uses are: north across a 20 -foot graded alley are new single - family residences fronting on Stillwater Avenue; south across East Seventh Street is vacant, low land; east across Hazel Street is vacant land now used as a City dump; west and adjoining are six similar 11 -unit apartment buildings which have been built recently by the appli- cant. The plans meet the existing standards for parking lot lay -out and installation and density and building ground coverage. The Traffic Engineer has approved the plans as far as traffic movements are con- cerned. Field investigation discloses no objections. In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends that a permit be granted for the 11-car private parking lot on the above - described property, in accordance with the final plans approved on January 21, 1960.
