Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of the appeal of the Hamline University to establish a new
building line on the north side of Englewood Ave. between Snelling Ave. and Simpson.
The property under consideration is described as follows:
All that part of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 27,
Township 29 North, Range 23 West, described as follows: Beginning at a point
on the North line of Englewood as opened and established by the City of St.
Paul, said point being 200 feet East of the point of intersection of the East
line of North Snelling Ave. and the North line of said Englewood Ave; thence
North at right angles to the North line of said Englewood Ave. 180.0 feet,
thence East and parallel to the North line of said Englewood Ave. 250.0 feet,
thence South 180.0 feet to a point on the North line of said Englewood Ave.
250.0 feet East on the place of beginning, thence West on the North line of
said Englewood Ave. 250.0 feet to the place of beginning, all in St. Paul,
Ramsey County, Minnesota.
The Zoning is '.'A':` Residence.
Applicant owns the entire frontage a distance of some 784.64 ft. on the north side
of Englewood Ave. between Snelliing and Simpson St. Applicant is constructing a
womens dormitory some 50 ft. west from the present women' s dormitory on their main
campus and fronting on Englewood. This appeal, if granted, would allow the con-
struction of a covered service area 80 ft. wide and 50 ft . deep to the proposed
women's dormitory and located some 10 ft. north of the north line of Englewood Ave.
commencing some 216 ft. east from Snelling Ave.
The layout and operation of the proposed service area has been approved by the
Traffic Engineer and will not affect property other then that owned by the University.
The need for this building line change is occassioned by the desirability of applicant
to separate the service area activity incident to the dormitory from the building's
entrance and from the remainder of the campus. The Plans submitted by applicant call
for brick facing along the south, east and west wall of the service area which will
comport with the appearance of other campus buildings. It is the opinion of the Zoning
Board that the needs of the University will be best facilitated by a relaxation of the
front yard on Englewood. The Board is also mindful of the general desirability of
permitting colleges to expand their services to the community in a manner consistent
with the public interest.
In consideration of these factors, the Zoning Board finds the purpose and intent of
the Zoning Ordinance would be substantially achieved under these circumstances and

that therefore the establishment of a 10 ft. buiding line on Englewood may
properly be established in this instance, all in accordance with the statements
and conditions conveyed in applicant's appeal of June 21, 1957 and plans filed
June 24, 1957.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City Clerk's Office

St. Paul, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Hemline University intends to construct on its campus, located on the
north side of Englewood Avenue between Snelling Avenue and Simpson
Street, a new women's dormitory. The dormitory will be located to
face Englewood Avenue adjacent to and approximately in line with the
existing Manor House Dormitory, with which it is connected by tunnel.
Plans for the building have been filed with the St. Paul Building
Inspection Department and approved by the Department subject to one
condition. The service court for the dormitory faces Englewood Avenue
and is surrounded by a masonry wall approximately 9'-9" high. This
wall has been designed to be attractive in appearance and to shield the
street and the neighborhood from the service court. In order to align
the new dormitory with Manor House and in order to provide sufficient
truck space within the court, however, it is necessary that the court
and its surrounding wall project beyond the established building line
on Englewood Avenue.
We respectfully request, therefore, that permission be granted to
establish a new building line 10 feet north of the property line in the
block between Snelling Avenue and Simpson Street on the north side of
Englewood Avenue. Hamline University is the sole owner of the block in
question. The legal description of this property, appropriate building
plans, and a photostat of the architect's rendering of the new dormitory
as seen from Englewood Avenue and showing the wall are enclosed with
this letter.
