Dear Madam:
This is in the matter of the appeal of the Cherokee Agency Inc. to
extend to the entire site the commercial use permitted on a portion
of the site on property located on the west side of Smith Avenue be-
tween King and Stevens Streets, and described as all of Lot 7, and
the south 50 feet of 'Lots 1 thru 6, Block 26, Balme's Addition; also
Lot 6, except the south 100 feet thereof, Marion Addition. The property
is zoned commercial to a depth of 100 feet west of Smith Avenue (this
amounts to about 73% of the tract), the balance is "B" residence and has
been since the adoption of the Ordinance in 1922.
The property under consideration was formerly developed with a single -
family dwelling which has recently been removed for the proposed addition
of a drive -in banking facility and off-street parking lot for the Cherokee
State Bank. In order to develop the site as proposed, the applicant is
appealing to the Council pursuant to Chapter 64.03, paragraph "a" of the
Zoning Code.
This is an irregularly shaped tract of land having a frontage on South
Smith Avenue of 88.58 feet and extending to an average depth of about
150 feet which results in an area of approximately 11,774 square feet.
North and adjoining is a single - family residence which fronts -on South
Smith•Avenue; west and adjoining is the rear yard of a two - family residence
which fronts on Ottawa Avenue; south and adjoining is a single - family resi-
dence which fronts on King Street; also the existing Cherokee State Bank;
east and across South Smith Avenue are commercial uses and one single - family
residence all of which front on South Smith Avenue.
Field investigation discloses no basic objection to the extension of the
commercial use in that the elevation of this property when improved accord-
ing to the applicant's proposal, will be approximately six to eight feet
below the grade of the adjoining residential properties. It is the opinion
of the Board of Zoning that the granting of this appeal will not deviate
"_.substantially from the purpose and intent of the Ordinance.
In consideration of'th'e above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the
granting of the above described appeal in accordance with plans approved
June 14, 1960.

Re: Zoning Appeal for Extension of Existing Commercial Zoning
Dear Sirs:
We wish to extend the commercial zoning to cover the entire depths of
the lots now owned by the Cherokee Agency, Inc. at the northwest corner of
the intersection of South Smith and King Street in order to'establish an
offstreet customer parking area on this property. The parking lot is in-
tended to be used for customers of the Cherokee State Bank at this location.
We feel that the offstreet parking is necessary to avoid traffic congestion
in the area and we wish to make use of the property as shown on the attached
plot plan.
The name of the applicant is Cherokee Agency, Inc., Mr. Russell Gesell,
President, located at 607 South Smith Avenue, St. Paul 7, Minnesota. The
Legal'Description of the Property is as follows:
All of Lot #7, and the South 50' of Lots #1 to #6,
inclusive, Block #26 - Balme's Addition. All of
Lot #4 and the East 35' of,the South 100' of Lot #5
and all of Lot #6 except the South 100' thereof,
Marion Addition, St. Paul, Minnesota.
This appeal is made under Section 20-a of Building Zone Ordinance
No. 58+0, because the use district boundary line divides the property and
we wish to extend the commercial zoning to the entire property as stated
above.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Yours truly,
