OF ZONING, -CITY OF SAINT PAUL 53 1315 COT* HALL AND CObILT HOUSE SAINT PAUL ], M111NSSOTA April 30, 1959 Mr. Joseph R. Okoneski City Clerk Building 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. K -2- 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.
