ZONING,. CITY 171! CITY HALL A1ID COURT NOUSI - F A 1. OF SAINT PAUL SAINT PAUL 9, MINNISOTA April 15, 1959 Mr, Joseph R. Okoneski City Clerk _ Building - - Dear Sir: This is in the matter of the application of the Oakland Company to, install and operate two private parking lots accessory to two eleven unit apartment buildings, and an appeal to relax the side yard requirements of both sides of each lot, on property located on the north side of Oakland Avenue-between Western and Lawton .Avenues. The legal description is Lot 8 and 10, Block 12, Terrace Park Addition. The zoning is t1V Residence and has been since the adoption of the ordinance in 1922. Each lot has a frontage of 60 feet along Oakland Avenue, Lot 10, the westerly one, has an average depth of approximately 198 feet, producing an area of approximately 12,000 square feet. Lot 8, on the east, has a frontage of 60 . feet with an average depth of 217 feet, producing an area of approximately 13,000,square feet. The applicant proposes that each lot will be the site of an eleven car parking lot and an eleven unit apartment building. The adjacent land uses are as follows: Lot 9, which lies between the two lots under consideration, is developed with a large two and one -half story frame multi - family residence; east and adjoining Lot 8 is a large two story frame multiple residence; west and adjoining Lot 10 is a two-story-frame residence; south across Oakland and Pleasant Avenues are single family residences which front on Pleasant Avenue and which will eventually be re- moved for the right -of -way needs of the Pleasant Avenue Freeway; north and adjoining at the top of the bluff are residences which front on Summit Court. Field investigation reveals that the terrain of Lot 10 is level and slightly above the Oakland Avenue Street grade to a depth of about 140 feet; Lot 8 is also level and slightly above street grade to a depth of approximately 1251. The remaining portion of each of these lots beyond this depth is a very steep rocky slope. In order to level sufficient area toward the rear of each lot for adequate off - street parking spaces, the base of this slope will have to be cut, possibly making it necessary to construct retaining walls. Should this prove necessary, the applicant has agreed to construct the necessary retaining walls as directed by the City Architect, and has so stated on his plan. The traffic engineer has approved the layout of the parking lot plans which meet standards for this type of facility except for the change in the side yard buffer. Field investigation further discloses that the only possible means of providing adequate space for the installation of.the parking lot would -be in relaxing the 8 foot yard buffer to,three feet. x,10 The Oakland Company - Page 2 In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the granting of the appeal to relax the side yard buffer from eight feet to three feet on both the easterly and westerly sides of both Lots 8 and 10, and the permit for the construction and operation of an 11 car private parking lot on each of the afore mentioned lots, in accordance with plans approved March 5, 1959.
