April 30, 1959
Mr. Joseph R. Okoneski
City Clerk

Dear Sir:
This is in the matter bf the application of Spiegler Construction Company for
an appeal to extend_a tpermitted apartment use to cover all of the south 180
feet of Lot 21; Block -2, Cruickshark s Orden Lots. This property is located
on the north side of East.Seventh Street between Birmingham and Hazelwood
Avenues.
The applicant's property has a frontage of 100 feet on East Seventh Street,
and extends northerly to a depth of 180 feet and is in a single ownership.
This-property has split zoning, the front, or southerly 100 feet is zoned'
ttCommercialt' and the rear 80 feet is zoned ttA1t Residence. This appeal, if
granted;-• - would,- p_,ermit the-applicant-to �incorporate this-.tract wii"e "' bract
adj.oining..on .,the east „and, to, develop the enure,, site..with three, two and one ,Aj
half st_ y brick faced apa tmAn . b»i din S ring a total of 1,.� u-n tJ' s d.—__
off - street parking accessotT thereto�for'45 cars. The two tracts combined
give a frontage of 2�O on East Seth` n p�"'roduc an area
square
feet. _ ...,.,..
On July 15, 1958, the City Councileapproved an appeal of the Spiegler
Construction Company to do the exact thing on the adjoining property to the
east which has a frontage of 150 feet along East Seventh Street.
The rough terrain of the property.to the north has retarded the extension of
Stillwater Avenue between a point,275feet west of Hazelwood Avenue and the
east line of Birmingham Avenue. The applicant's property is the southerly
180 feet of a Garden Lot extending the distance of two normal city blocks
north of East Seventh Street. When and if Stillwater avenue is opened and
graded, the proposed apartment development would not preclude the use for
residential purposes of the portion of the land between the north line of
the applicant's property and the south line of Stillwater Avenue extended, as
minimum area requirements of the zoning ordinance could be met. . `
The adjacent land uses are as follows:' north and adjoining is vacant, un-
developed land; south across East Seventh Street are two single family
residences which front on East Seventh Street; east and adjoining is the
applicant's eleven unit apartment building which was recently built; farther t,
east and adjoining the combined tracts are three single family residences
which front on East Seventh Street; west and adjoining is a single family '1
residence which fronts on East Seventh Street.

Spiegler Construction Company - File No. 4134
All yard and density requirements of present laws would be complied with if
this appeal is granted. In addition, the Traffic Engineer has approved the
proposed layout and operation of the parking area.
Field investigation discloses that East Seventh Street from Johnson Parkway to
White Bear Avenue is developed with five commercial establishments and the
balance with single - family homes. Within recent years at least fifteen new
single- family residences have been erected along East Seventh Street between
Johnson Parkway and White Bear Avenue and ten additional homes were constructed
along East Seventh Street in the same area within ten years after the end of
World War II. Thus, East Seventh Street is predominately single - family homes
although the zoning is Commercial.
Inasmuch as the adjoining property to the east is already developed with an
apartment building, and the majority of the area affected by this appeal would
be used for off - street parking, the Board feels that the intent and purpose of
the Zoning Ordinance would be substantially achieved. Therefore, the Board of
Zoning recommends that this appeal to authorize the extension of a permitted
apartment use to cover all of the applicants property be granted subject to
all statements and conditions conveyed in the applicants appeal of March 25,
1959, and plans approved April 8, 1959.
Sincerely,
C .

Re:' Appeal For Extension of Existing Commercial Zoning
Dear Sirs:
This letter is an appeal to extend the existing commercial zoning of the
rear 60' of a 180' depth piece of property on the north side of East 7th
Street between Birmingham Avenue and Hazelwood Street.
This appeal is made under the Legislative Zoning Code Chapter 64.03, Par-
agraph A which reads as follows: "Where a use district boundry line di-
vides a,lot in a single ownership, permit a use authorized on either por-
tion of such lot to extend to the entire lot."
The legal description of the property on which we would like this exten-
sion of commercial zoning is as follows:
_ 5
"The south 180' of Lot #21, Block #2, Cruickshank's Garden
Lots, St. Paul, Minnesota"
The commercial zoning includes a depth of 100' of this lot and we would
like the rear 80'- extended into this commercial zoning., The depth of
this property is 180'.
The intended use of this area is to provide off - street parking space for
an apartment building development. We-are also submitting at this time
an application which will provide'off - street parking space for the 45
apartment units which we propose t6Sdevdlope�3oh this total site.
We thank you-for your consideration in this matter and if there is any
additional - information you desire, please contact us.
