No. 5649 (the' P Zoning Osdi20 of). for the establish- ment of new set-back line in oonnee- y tion with the Construction of a new Building as Lot 12. Block Hythe St..Anthony Aon described. North. Dated August 23, 1966. .TOOSEPH R.OKONESKI. Dear Sir: City Clerk. (August 35.1916) This is in the matter of the appeal of P. W. Manson to establish a new front building line on lot 12 - block 15 - St. Anthony Park North Addition. This property is located adjacent to the east side of Hythe Street between Hendon and Buford. The zoning is "A" residence. The property is presently vacant and has a frontage of 50' on Hythe and extends east a.depth of 150' . The applicant proposes to construct a single-family home. ' In conjunction this proposal he is asking the Council for permission to con- 3 struct his hom- 40' •ack from Hythe Street instead of the 53' required by present regulations. - —The applicant's proposal is outlined in detail in his letter of July 23, 1956 and is illustrated on a map of this block, copies of which are attached to this file. Briefly, the applicant is proposing to construct a house which is rather long in relationship to its average width thus producing a substantial side yard on the southerly side of this 50' lot. If the type of building contemplated is constructed 53' back from Hythe, a large oak tree at the rear of his lot would have to be removed. As an alternative, the applicant is asking to be allowed to construct his home 40' from Hythe. The neighbors on either side of the property in question have recorded their approval of this proposal in' a letter dated July 23, 1956 addressed to Mayor Dillon. The Zoning Board finds that the granting of this appeal would substantially secure the intent and purpose of the zoning ordinance in establishing set-back lines and. would not materially affect the rights and interests of abutting property owners. ' The property under consideration is approximately 10' above street grade and, if the plan contemplated is pursued, the open and spacious quality of this neighbor- hood will certainly be maintained. The Board further finds that the actual change in the building line which would be produced would, from the standpoint of the visual effects produced on the ground, not be material. In fact, the Board has • noted in similar circumstances a minor transition of one building line to another within a block often produces architectu 1 variety which is more pleasing than a simple row of houses arranged in a straig t line. In consideration of these factors, the ing Board recommends that this appeal be granted. 401)/ Y ti, " (yil n Ly 0.(DVo CDL:FS 3 Planning Director o Executive Secretary Board of Zoning UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA O.. f DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITY FARM,ST.PAUL 1 / i f 1 q ,/ r t �.�' ` /fir DIVISION OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING July 23, 1956 The Honorable Mayor Joseph Dillon and The St. Paul City Council c/o of the St. Paul City Clerk St. Paul City Hall St. Paul, Minnesota Gentlemen: o Fk?eAr S47- 84 " Herewith I am requesting permission to set the "back line" of my new home which is to be located at 1470 Hythe Street, a distance of 40 or 41 feet back from the west sidewalk as noted on the attached sheet. The sketch will show the "back line" location of all homes on the west side of the block. The Roehrich, Koller and Hayes homes were built prior to 1922. The Roehrich home faces north on a double-size lot. The lots in this block are 50 feet wide and 150 feet long. The Koller and the Hayes homes were built approximately 47 and 49 feet back from street sidewalk because of the steep topographic features on the west ends of their lots. The Koller home has heavy, concrete steps on the front of their home that extend some 6 feet in front of their home. These steps are now about 3i feet above a filled-in grade. If my house is placed in line with the Koller's, it will be necessary to remove a large and beautiful 2 to 3-foot oak tree. The possible removal of this tree has truly disturbed neighbors in my block. It is therefore my hope that I will be permitted to locate the house about 40 feet back from the sidewalk on approx- imate line with the lower step of the concrete steps on the front of the Koller home. The University of Minnesota Forestry Department recommend an $ to 10 foot distance between the foundation and the tree. I might add that the building of this home as described on the blue prints will greatly improve the view to the west of all homes concerned. At present the vacant lot has a hedge on the west and north sides that has grown to a height of 15 feet and which really obstructs the view. I have discussed the above described "back line" proposal with my neighbors and to date have received no objections. In fact, I have received encouragement to approach the Council with this plan. If you need more information, I will be most happy to appear before the Council to further explain the problem. +, c`fl Very truly yours, D t k, P. W. Man-on Professor CI a ;��Iir-n`S0ta r ., ' ,s,!
