Dear Sir:
November 9, 1959
This is in the matter of the appeal of Truss Ethel Arvidson to convert a
single - family residence to a two- family residence on property located
on the south side of Orange Avenue between Frank and Duluth Streets. The
zoning is "A" residence and has been since the adoption of the Ordinance
in 1922.
There is a single - family residence on this - property and the applicant
proposes to remodel the second floor into a small apartment which would
result in a two - family dwelling. Inasmuch as the lot has, a frontage of. -
40,feet on Orange Avenue extending,to a -depth of,125.94 feet, the result-
ing area of 5,037.20 square'feet is not sufficient for a two - family
dwelling in an "A" residence district which, under the Ordinance, requires
-an area of 7,500 square feet.
Miss Arvidson's reasons for wanting to convert her single - family dwelling
to a two - family dwelling are outlined in her letter of_:appeal which is
attached.
The adjacent land uses are: -east and adjoining are single - family
residences fronting on Orange Avenue; west and adjoining is a two- family
residence fronting on Orange Avenue which is located on a lot of suffi-
cient size to meet the requirements of the Zoning Code; south and across
an alley are single - family residences fronting on Hawthorne Avenue; north
and across Orange Avenue are two single-family residences and one four -
family residence, all fronting on Orange Avenue.
Field investigation discloses that this conversion would be detrimental
to and incompatible with the adjoining and surrounding uses; that the
granting of this appeal would deviate from the purpose and intent cf the
Ordinance and would establish an undesirable precedent.
In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the
denial of this appeal to convert a single - family residence to a two - family
residence on the above described property.

Dear Mayor Dillon and Members of the City Council:
6 �'_ I 'Af, 2__7 -
1128 E. Orange Avenue
St. Paul 6, Minnesota
October 5, 1959
I am the owner of a single family residence at 1128 East Orange Avenue,
St. Paul,•whose property description is: Lot 13, Block 6, Phalen Heights Park.
The lot has a 40 -foot frontage and is 125.93 feet deep, a total of 5,037.20
square feet. The house was built as a single.family residence in 1936 and is
such today.
It is my desire to construct a small apartment on the second floor of my
home, consisting of a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The exterior of the
house would not in any way be altered by the building of such an apartment.
There are several homes in the immediate neighborhood with apartments,
including the home across the street which has two apartments.
Inasmuch as I am in an "A" zone and my property does not include the re-
quired number of square feet, I am appealing to you for permission for the con-
struction of an- apartment. A plan for the construction of the apartment is in-
closed.
It is my desire to build this apartment so there will be someone in my
home with my Mother while I am at work. My Mother, who will be 93 years of age
next March, is alone in the house 5 days a week while I am working. It is ex-
tremely important for my Mother that there be someone in the house in case of
emergency. Although my Mother is not bedridden, she is not very strong and her
eyesight is poor. It would, therefore, be of great value to her to have some-
one in the house whom she could quickly contact in case of need or distress.
It would be my plan to rent the apartment to a retired couple; or to two
women, one of whom would be retired; or to a retired single woman; thus being'
assured that there would be someone in the apartment most of the time.
I would greatly appreciate your favorable consideration of my request
which would be of immeasurable benefit to-my Mother in her advanced age and
in her weakened condition.
