Dear Madam:
This is in the matter of the appeal of the Church of St. Casimir
to relax the building line to zero feet on property located on
the south side of Geranium Avenue between Mendota and Forest
Streets for the purpose of erecting a canopy to cover the stair-
way and `entrance to the proposed school building addition. The
property is described as the east 10 feet of Lot 5, and the west
25 feet of Lot 4, all in Block 10, Eastville Heights. The zoning
is "B "' residence and has been since the enactment of the Ordinance
in 1922.
The site is presently used as a playground in connection with the
existing church and school. The applicant proposes to erect an
addition to the school building with the building entrance, stairs
and buttress covered by a canopy. This canopy would extend be-
yond the required building line set back which is 14 feet as
established by the residences in the block erected prior to August 22,
1922. The building itself would set back 17 feet from the property
line. The proposed canopy would involve a frontage along Geranium
Avenue of approximately 30 feet, and would be at least 100 feet
from the nearest residence in the block.
North across Geranium Avenue are single - family residences front-
ing on Geranium Avenue; east, west and south adjoining is the
applicant's property and facilities; farther west and adjoining
are single - family residences fronting on Geranium Avenue.
Field investigation discloses no basic objections to the proposed
canopy extending to the front property line in that it will not
be detrimental to the surrounding properties. On May 25, 1960,
the City Council granted the applicant an informal approval of
the appeal.
Based on the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the
granting of the appeal to relax the building line to zero (01)
feet on the above described property.
Sincerely,
I�•C�A�

Re: St. Casimir School
Canopy and building_ line
Dear Mr. Schroeder:
CAPITAL 2-SS8S
1220 MINNESOTA BUILDING
SAINT PAUL I, MINNESOTA

Pursuant to our conversation Tuesday noon in the City
Council Chambers, I am making the .following request on behalf
of my client, The Church of St. - Casimir.
Inasmuch as the Church of St. Casimir is about to con-
struct an..elementary school building on Lots .2, 3 and 4 of
Block 10, Eastvitle Heights we find that we must secure the
.approval of the City Council for a canopy that will violate the
building line.
This building designed by Haarstick Lundren & Associates
is so designed that the building line of the building, itself will.
be in conformity to° the building line as established by the
residences now on Geranium- Avenue. But, at the .entrance
to the building on Geranium Avenue there wild. be .a concrete
landing, and set of steps approximately 30 feet wide. Over
part of the steps, there wilt be a, light steel frame canopy that
will be approximately 18 feet wide and 17 feet deep. It will be
about 15 feet in height from, the ground level. . Its construction .
will be tight steel frame with a pitch and gravel roof and proper
drain to. the storm. sewer.
