Notice.is hereby given- th•,t public
hearing will be held before the City
Council at 10 A.M. on October 17, 1957,
in the City Council Chamber in the
City Hall and Court House in the mat-
ter of the appeal of St. Stephanus
Lutheran Church,under Sec. 20 of Ord.
nir.. Joseph Okoneslci No. 5810 (the Zoning Ordinance), for
p permission to establish a new building
City Clerk erk line on the NE corner of Lafond &
y Grotto, Lot,' 16-20, Block 2, Syndicate
Building No. 3 Addition.
Dated October 1, 1957.
JOSEPH R. OKONESKI,
Dear Sir: City Clerk.
(October 5, 1957)
This is in the matter of the appeal of St . Stephanus Lutheran Church to establish a
new building line on the north side of Lafond between Grotto and St. Albans. The
property under consideration is described as Lots 16 to 20, Block 2, Syndicate No. 3
Addition. The applicant owns five lots with a frontage of 195.34 ft. on Lafond and
extending northerly to a depth of 124 ft. 6 in. The zoning is "B" Residence.
of
Applicant is constructing an addition extending east 4.e the present church. This
appeal if- granted would allow the construction of a canopy 8 ft . wide on Lafond
Avenue frontage commencing some 67 ft. east of the east line of Grotto Ave. and
extending northerly from the north line of Lafond Avenue a distance of 16 ft .
The average building line in the block is 9 ft. The closest residence property
affected by the proposed canopy is a distance of 110 ft. to the east. The oper-
ation and location of the proposed canopy will not affect property other than
that owned by the church. It is the opinion of the Zoning Board that the needs
of the church will be best facilitated by a relaxation of the front yard on
Lafond. The Board is also mindful of the general desirability of permitting
churches to extend their services to the community when they are consistent with
the public interest . There is a 56 ft. lot to the east of the addition to the
church that applicant plans on using for off-street parking.
In consideration of these factors the :-coning Board finds the purpose and intent
of the Zoning Ordinance would be substantially achieved under the circumstances
and that the establishment of a building line at the north property Line of
Lafond for a distance of/8 ft . on Lot 17, Block 2, Syndicate No. 3 Addition may
properly be established in this instance all in accordance with the statements
and conditions conveyed in applicant's appeal dated June 21, 1957 and development
plan dated February 1957.
Sincerely,
C. D. Loeks

Gentlemen:
We request your favorable approval for St . Stephanus

in establishing a new building line for the entrance canopy

The leading edge of the canopy would be above the
property line. The canopy is g'-0" high x 7'-4" wide x
16'-0" long and supported by steel posts which set back
3 '-6" from the property line.
The building wall which receives the canopy is
161-5" back from the property line. This is the average distance
of the buildings on Lafond street and has been previously
approved by the building department .
We request that you review this request at your
earliest convenience.
Sin,c.rely yours,
MAX & GERALD BUETOW, ARCH 'TS .
