RIORDAN Council Recorder 9=1, 612 The City Council requested that you draw a resolution in the matter of the appeal of the Wilder Foundation to establish a nursing home on property which is bounded by east George St., Humboldt Ave., South Robert St. and the bluff, in accordance with plans approved July 2, 1959• /� y Very /f my yours/ 1/ City(,klerk MINNESOTA S lv 4f <� -�'<:; Q&RD OF ZONING, -CITY OF SAINT PAUL ••• ' i'lkR'N6�0%F: 151.754 -459 1915 CITY HALL AND COURT HOUSE SAINT PAUL 4, MINNESOTA Augustl2, 1959 Mr, Joseph Okoneski City Clerk Building Dear Sir: This is in the matter of the appeal of the Wilder Foundation to establish a nursing home on property which is bounded by east George Street, Humboldt Avenue, South Robert Street and the bluff. The description is a miscellaneous one, a copy of which is attached. This property'was reclassified from "B" Residence to "C" Residence on October 28, 1958-for this purpose,. For many years this property was the site of a stone quarry operated by private in-� terests. This owner eventually lost the property through tax forfeiture and operation was then assumed by the Public Works Administration. The City also used part of this site as an equipment storage yard. The City and State sold their interest in this property in 1955 to the present owners. In 1952 this site was considered by the Hous- ing and Redevelopment Authority as a possible public housing site. The applicant pro- poses to develop the site with three one -story residence buildings which would house a total of 170 ambulatory patients and one four -story convalescent building to house 64 patients. The total bed capacity of the four buildings could be 234. In addition, there would be an activities building and a combination dining and recreation building, or a total of six buildings. The purpose of this appeal is that Council authorization is required at a public bearing for this type of facility in a residential district. The site has a frontage of 310 feet along Humboldt Avenue, 270 feet along south Robert Street and approximately 250 feet.of frontage along Congress Street. There will also be a service driveway from LivingstQn,Avenue, This site has an area of approximately 521,500 square feet, or 12 acres. South and adjoining are one and two - family residences fronting on George Street, also one small store and the Riverview Reference Library; west across Humboldt Avenue is St, Matthews Parochial School, also one and two- family residences fronting on Humboldt Avenue; north and adjoining is a variety of residential and commercial uses; east and adjoining is the Robert Street Viaduct. Field investigation discloses no objections to the granting of this appeal based on the proposed development of this property. The rock subsoil condition encountered on, this site makes it economically unfeasible for the construction of single and two - fmaily residences. Because of this difficult condition, the proposed use is much more appropriate for this site. This is also a good transitional use between the lower and upper west side at this point. In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the granting of this appeal to establish a nursing home on the above described property in accordance with plans approved July 2, 1959.
