MINNESOTA .......................... .......................... .......................... .......................... ............. .......................... ............. February 11, 1958 Mr, Joseph Okoneski City Clerk Building Dear Sir: This is in the matter of the appeal of Victor Nik for relief from the strict application of the dwelling unit density requirements of the Zoning Ordinance so as to permit the remodeling of a non - conforming building in an "A" Res. district to four families on an area of 10,608 square feet. This property is located on the east side of N. Lexington Parkway between Como and Jessamine and is described as Lots 15, 16 & the So. 38' of Lot 17, Block 9, Warrendale Addition except the west 40 ft. of these lots taken for Lexington Parkway. This property has been used since 1913 as an office and laboratory for butter $ulture and also for the cold storage of butter. The existing building is two stories in height and is of brick construction. Applicant proposes to remodel each floor into two one bedroom units. The proposed development is in accordance with the existing building code regulations. Applicant is providing satisfactory off - street parking space to the south of the present building. This appeal is made pursuant to section 20, paragraph "i ", of the Zoning Ordinance which provides that the City Council may vary any provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in harmony with its general purpose and intent, where there are practical difficulties or peculiar hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of the ordinance „ provided that certain findings are made with respect to the effect that the proposed development would have on the adjacent neighborhood. In consideration of the previous non - conforming commercial use of this site, the large size of the structure, the conformance of the proposed development with the standards set forth in the proposed housing code, and the provision of adequate off - street paik ing, the Zoning Board feels that this change, if granted, would not have an adverse effect on the adjacent neighborhood and they therefore, recommend that the Council grant this appeal in accordance with the applicant's 1 ter dated December 10, 1957 and plans attached thereto.

Court House. Saint Paul 2, 1,11iruzesota Gentlemen: Re: Property known as 1098 North Lexington Parkway described as follows: Lots 15 -16 and South 38 feet of Lot 17, Block 9, 'Warrendale, except the titiest 40 feet of all lots. We, Inez and Victor Vik, owners of the above mentioned property, also known as the EDEN VALLEY CAL -AL RY COMPANY, request that we be permitted to remodel the building into a four -unit dwelling. The purpose of tilis appeal is to set forth the unusual conditions peculiar to this piece of property so that your Honorable Body can evaluate the need for allowing an exception in the building's use under City Ordinance No. 5840, Section 20, Paragraph i, of the Zoning Law of 1922. The building on said property is located on the east side of Lexington Parkway between Como Avenue and Jessamine Street. Its construction is of concrete and the brick. It consists of three levels, basement and first and second floors. The dimensions are 35' x 461. As you will note, it is a very large building. it is solid and well con- structed. In March of 1957, when we purchased the property, it was, and had been since 1913, used as an office and laboratory for butter culture and also for the cold storage of butter. Although located in an "A Residential" area, its utilization was "Commercial ". We have been offered a five -year lease for the same type of use. tide, and the community in general, feel this is not desirable. We therefore make this appeal, proposing to convert the structure into a four -unit dwelling so that it can be put to a useful purpose. We have given a great deal of time and study to this matter, and can find no other purpose for this building because of its size and location. Enclosed are pictures of the building and plans cover- ing its size and location, lot dimensions, and space provided for off- street parking. We ask your earnest consideration of this situation, and will greatly appreciate your approval of a zoning regulation applicable to this property which will enable us to adapt, the building to its best use for all concerned.
