November 9, 1959 Mr. Joseph Okoneski City Clerk Building Dear Sir: This is in the matter of the appeal of Mr. and Mrs. Victor A. Newcomb to establish a 12 foot building line on the west 20 feet of the east 45 feet of -Lot 11, Block 5, Phalen•Heights Addition, which is located on the north side of East Hawthorne Avenue between Duluth Street and Phalen Park. The property is zoned `WI residence and has been since the adoption of the Ordinance in 1922. The property is developed with a single - family residence constructed in 1923. This is a triangular tract of land with a total area of approximately 4,358 square feet, and has a frontage of 83.75 feet along East Hawthorne Avenue and extends along the west property line to a depth of 104.08 feet. The lot is not served by a public alley, and due to its irregular shape, a garage cannot be built on the rear of this lot. The only apparent location for a garage would be to attach it to the existing residence which'would require breaking the Haw- thorne Avenue building line. The present building line along,Hawthorne Avenue established by three residences built prior to the enactment of the Zoning Ordinance, is 22 feet. The applicant is requesting a building line of 12 feet. All six of the property owners to the west in this block have signed a petition agreeing to the proposed building line change.' Phalen Park adjoins the property on the north and east; south across East Hawthorne Avenue are single - family residences fronting along East Hawthorne Avenue; west and adjoining are six single- family residences fronting on East. Hawthorne Avenue. - Field investigation discloses that the granting of this building line change .would,put the proposed garage some ten feet closer to Hawthorne Avenue than the existing residences in the block. In the opinion4of the staff, this change would establish a very undesirable precedent, would deviate from the purpose and intent of the Ordinance, and would create a condition which is undesirable for the residences to the west. The Board of Zoning considered this appeal at their meeting'on October 22, 1959, and recommend the granting of a ten foot building line on the west 20 feet of the east 45 feet of Lot 11, Block 5, Phalen Heights Addition, subject to the applicant retaining a four -foot clearance from Phalen Park. Sincerely, ZONING APPEAL Notice is hereby iven that a g public hearing will be held before the City Council at 10 A.M. on "November 12, 1959, in the City Council Chamber in the City Hall and Court House, in the HCW: FGI matter of the appeal of Mr. and Mrs. `Victor A. Newcomb, under Chapters Encl. 60 to 64 inclusive, St. Paul Legislative Code, Zoning Code, for the establish- ment of a 12 -ft. building line on the (north side of Hawthorne between I Duluth and Phalen Park, on the follow- ing described property: Exe. W. 40 ft., i Lot 11, Block 5, Phalen Heights Park. Dated October 27, 1959. JOSEPH R. OKONESIa, City Clerk. (October 31, 1959) 1._ H. C. Wieland Director of Pla n' g 0 �(�✓t� Oci7 1959 CR��W W u� a�Atw APPLICANT IF � IL kl �. Z.F. NO. r St Paul City Council St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sirs: 1215 E. Hawthorne Sept. 152 1959. We are interested in building a garage,on our property at 1215 E. Hawthorne Ave. Block 11, Lot 5, Phalen °Heights'Park. The lot is triangular and is adjacent to Park Property. To build said garage we would need to place it on a line 8 feet from the side walk in order to have the garage come within only 4 feet of Park property. This is the last piece of property on a dead -end street. ' t We called Mr. Pearson the Building Inspector and he came out to check the posibility of where we could build a garage. Since our lot does not extend to the alley there is no way that we can build in the back yard. So the only place we can build is to the side and front of our property. Mr. Pearson has since talked to Mr. Alfred Schroder, City Architect about how close to the Park Property we could build the garage and was told it still would have to be 4 feet from the property line. Since talking to Mr. Pearson We have had the lot resurveyed by Mr. Wolfgram and a Blue Print made of the proposed garage, however he has drawn the plans for the garage to coarse only 6 inches from the Park Property on one side and 12 feet from the side walk. But if we must build 4 feet from the Park Property then we would have to extend the garage 4 feet closer to the side walk or to within 8 feet of walk. We are enclosing a copy of the Blue Print so you can see just what our problem is. When Mr. Pearson the Building Inspector was here we gave him a copy of the Blue Prints. We have measured several of the houses in the.block as to their distance from the side walk and find them to be as follows: The corner house facing Duluth St is 22' 1011 from side walk, 1197 Hawthorne is 211 711, 1185 is 22' 811, 1205 is 211 8" and our place 1215 Hawthorne is 241. No two $oases are the same distance from the side walk. We would appreciate an early consideration of our problem as we would like to build a garage this Fall. VYours very truly, I/ P. S. Property deed is in the name of my wife Amy Wessel. 1215 E. Hawthorne Oct. 1, 1959 'To the City Zoning Board: We the undersigned do not object to the building of a garage on lot 11 Block 5, Phalen Heights Park, 1215 E. Hawthorne. We understand that to do so said garage will need to break the building line and be placed with front edge at a line about 12 feet from the side walk.

My name is Francis F. Franta, and I and Lucille A. Franta are the owners of the property known as 1185 East Hawthorne Avenue, Saint Paul, Minnesota. We signed the said petition on the understanding that its intention was that, in the case of the Newcombes and limited to them, an exception would be made from the now existing building requirements, in order to permit them but no other property owners to erect a garage as therein requested. It now appears from the wording of notices received by certain property owners in the area that the said petition actually pro- poses that a new twelve (12) foot building line be established, effective for the "entire block within which the Newcombe property is located. We therefore hereby withdraw our signature from said petition, and further state that we object to the establishment of a new building line, for the reason that, in,our judgement, such action would tend to devalue properties in the area.
