Dear Sir:
+ This is in'the matter of the appeal of the Northwestern Bell Telephone
Company for a permit to relax the side yard on Shields Street and to
construct an addition to a telephone equipment building located adjacent
.to the North side of Shields Street between Fairview Avenue and Beacon
Avenue. The applicant's property is described as lots 59 - 63 inclusive,
except the North 16' of Lot 63 which has been dedicated for alley pur-
poses'; "And'the °:- portion of the vacated north -soutb alley in the block
between Lots 60, 61, 62.and 63 Howard Park Addition. The zoning is "C "
residence.
This appeal is made pursuant to Chapter 64.03, Paragraph (i) of the
legislative code which provides that the council may permit the location
in any use district a" community utility building; where such building is,
in the judgement of the Council, necessary to the public or community
convenience.
The property under consideration.bas'a frontage of 138.1' on Fairview
Avenue, 268.62''on Shields Street and 80.86' on Beacon Avenue. At
present, the applicant operates an equipment building,on the west 137.03' .:
of this property. In May, 1954, the Council granted the applicant a per-
mit to extend northerly the original building which faces Fairview'.
The applicant is proposing to.construct a 2 story addition to the east
side of their building'. This addition is 72'' along Shields Street, and
extends northerly 76.7'. The Council onFebruary 8, 1958, granted to
the applicant an alley vacation for the purpose of carrying out the
proposed development. There are two single family homes which face .
Shields Street that will be moved by the applicant before this plan may
be carried out.
The adjacent land uses are a mixture of residential; in addition there
are Commercial uses at the North end of the block that face University
Avenue. In order to construct this building, the applicants desire to
maintain the building line of their existing building on Shields Street
which is .841. They own the entire frontage in the block on the north
side of Shields between Fairview and Beacon.
The Field Investigation discloses no objection to the proposed develop
ment.'.The applicant states that because of the equipment arrangement
inside the building, they are limited to the easterly expansion of the
building.

Northwestern Bell Telephone - 2
In view of the importance of this proposed enlargement to the public
welfare; and that the proposed development will not materially affect
adjacent property; further that the front set -back on Beacon Street
will not be changed; and that off-street parking space for 12 cars will
be provided, which is adequate to serve the proposed facility, the
Zoning Board recommends that this appeal to establish a .84' building
line on Shields Street and to construct an addition to the existing
telephone equipment building, all in acoordance with the applicant's
letter of January 28, 1958, and plan attached thereto, be granted.
Sincerely,

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
St. Paul, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Northwestern Bell Telephone Company respectfully requests
the issuance of a special -use permit allowing it to erect on Lots 62
and 63, Howard Park Addition, and a portion of the north -south vacated
alley between Lots 60, 61, 62 and 63, a two -story addition to its
Midway central office building now located on part of Lots 59, 60 and
61, Howard Park Addition; and further to relax the side yard line
from three feet to .84 feet on Shields Street for the addition as
shown on the attached map. °°
This area presently is zoned Class C. Residential. Part of
the Midway central office building has existed in the present location
since 1910. Necessary expansion of telephone facilities to meet the
growth of the area served by the Midway central office must be
accomplished in the near future. Because of the nature of telephone
facilities, it is not feasible to establish a central office in some
location other than the present one.
We therefore request your approval of the necessary permit
pursuant to Section 20, paragraph g, of the Building Zone Ordinance.
Yours truly,
f
