To Kady Dadlez, Planning Division staff, reviewed the staff report and pzesented slides. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning petition based on findings 1 through 4 of the staff report. Ms. Dad2ez circulated the original petition for commissioner�s review, as she did not include it in the packet as it was very lengthy. The Summit-University Planning Council voted to support the rezoning petition. One letter was received in support. Commissianer Vaught questioned that if part of the patio is currently zoned residential, whether steps have been taken in the past to make it a legal nonconforming use, or whether it has been an illegal nonconforming use all of these years. Ms. Dadlez said she assumes that it is a legal nonconforming use. Commissioner Vaught asked the applicant to address that and suggested that a nonconforming use such as that on a residential lot would be an illegal use, not a nonconforming use, unless there was some other reason, such as the implementation of the new zoning code in 1975, Robert Crew, General Manager of W.A. Frost, 374 Selby Avenue, said that W.A, Frost was made aware of the fact that the parking lot was zoned residential about one year ago as they began this project, and that staff had informed them that a portion of the patio was not zoned B-2 but zoned RM-2. Hearing no further testimony the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Field moved approval of the rezoning based on tha staff recommendationa. Coffiai.saioner weacl seconded the motioa.

DISTRICT COIINCIL R8CO2�8NDATION: The Summit-University Planning Council voted to support the rezoning petition. A. FINDINGS• W.A. Frost is planning to make significant improvements to its restaurant facilities at Selby & Westem. W.A. Frost currently uses the majority of the property to be rezoned as a parking 2ot for its restaurant customers. A smaller portion of the lot is used for outdoor patio seating and kitchen area. These uses of the property are nonconforming use since the land is zoned residential. W.A. Frost would like to rezone the property to B-2, the same as the rest of the restaurant site. This will make all portions of the use conforming and allow them to undertake improvement plans for the outdoor dining area and parking lot. There are 22 o£f-street parking spaces in the lot currently. The garage will be demolished and make way for 7 additional spaces. In addition, a trash enclosure will be constructed at the southeast corner of the lot. W.A. Frost plans to construct a new building on the patio to accommodate a new bar and expand the cooking facilities in the out800r kitchen gazebo. They believe the patio functions will be greatly improved by these improvements and additions. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan for the city. one of the land use objectives of the District 8 Plan states, "to assure that zoning in Summit-University ref2ects existing land use" p.7. One of the industry and commerce objectives states, "to provide adequate off-street parking for Selby Avenue businesses" p.26. In addition, the Land Use Plan identifies the area as a mixed use strip. One of the commercial land use objectives of the of the plan states, ^to maintain and enhance the city's commercial areas and to provide the flexibility needed to accommodate new demands and opportunities" p.24. The rezoning is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed and will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area. The property has been used for parking and patio for many years. There have been no complaints to the Citizen•s Office about the operation of the parking lot. There is one complaint from last year relating to noise. Area residents expressed concern about the noise generated when trash containers are emptied in the evening, especially the sound of breaking glass and also the time of moming that trashed was being picked-up. Both the restaurant and the garbage hauler respon@ed to the compZaint to address the concerns. No additional complaints have been made since. The applicant submitted a sufficient petition signed by two-tkirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the property to be rezoned (60 parcels eligible, 40 parcels needed, and 40 parcels signed). 5. The property is located in the Historic Hill District. Therefore, any changes to the site require review by the Heritage Preservation Commission and site plan review. STAFF RSCODIl�fENDATION: Based on findings I through 4 staff recommends approval of the rezoning petition. 3�} � � • . ��, �, �.�� Il14 �' A�IIA� PETITION TO AMEND THE ZONING CODE Depanment of Planning and Economic Dwelopment Znning Section II00 City Ha17 Annex 25 Wes[ Fourth Street Saint Paul, MN 55102 266-b589 APPLICANT ` Property City �' uner � � `i Contact person (if PROPERTY LOCATION 9 � -cg3 � �� ti :°_ �� . �::C�#E- phone Zz-`/� 5 �'2� 9 e5��1 e' Si.

This new facility wiil benefit the operarion in these ways: • To offer an altemative searing area for customers waiting for a table in the dining section of the patio. • T'he Garden Bar will be the bar service area for most of the patio. This reduces the large demand placed on the indoor bar and service stations. • The Garden Bar would add another dimension to an already successful concept. • The new structure wouid double the size of the Gazebo kitchen. Giving the Chef much greater flexibility in the creation and production of the patio menu. Aside from the reasons stated above, the most dramatic changes would come from an overall increase in revenue due to added sales and improved customer service This addition would allow the use of forty seats not currently being utilixed maximally. The location of this new structure is important The distance between tables and the area where servers must enter orders from the point-of-sale system and pick-up any beverages � items will be considerably shortened. This will ultimately result in quicker, more efficient, and therefore better customer service. The reason for the second bar is obvious to anyone familiar to the layout and sheer immensity of W. A. Frost. During peak hows in the summer season, servers must walk great distances to pick-up drink orders. Furthermore, due to the number of servers working during busy summer shifts (between 12 to 15), there are inevitable traffic jaams which occw at the single service bar currently in place. This not only adds time to beverage service, but it disuacts the indoor bartenders from the guests who wish to be served at the bar. As the popularity of W. A. Frost has grown, we have found that increasing numbers of patrons are willing to wait as ]ong as an hour and one-half for seating. These people are put on a waiting list and then directed to one of two areas: either the indoor bar or bench seating at the entrance of the patio. Both areas currently cause congestion problems. Customers directed to the bar are forced to stand in and around the patio entrance ( in the way of customers leauing or entering) because the benches outside are often full. This is not only uncomfortable for t}�ose who wish to wait, but also potential loss of sales (i.e., appetizers or beverages). The construction of the Garden Bar wiil solve these problems. The Gazebo will be able to accommodate the higher volume. Customers currently on a waiting list would be directed to the outside bar area. There they could wait comfortably until their table was ready (or decide to stay in the bar area). As they wait., they could be served food and a beverage. This expansion is not only necessary it will also make what already is a long time great patio into the Twin Cities' finest. � J%f } R �J{ ia � ^ [ � 0�� p Te �_ 4 FI ..- Y. y X y ' - g�,� � � • �t �: � �a E �.�+ � E �`..a aa � �� --0 � � � � � V � � A V � ;ii �� ; ' , ' i f .�`_', � �� .,� � � � �� -� s ,�. a � W T j I _; _- � �� YS ' W� � 0 6 � a W � _,vi � ;= i � i Wj � �� ' /' \ '' � �� • `-_ .% � � �. .. . � ( "� :/� ! ) i �, � !� / � � i _�..-�,_ .��:.. ,_ ,!"l . ; �'\ � • r � itif � ; �11 � 1 i � �� -- �.� ! i i � t I I � I i /'� I�+ t��1 W I� I IQ �a � �� ! � in_ '_ °• i' -_ : e� � ;: � I I 6�6 !I� �'� � � �� ! r ' y � i � \ Ja . �� iN I"�N yH �� I No v I 1� _ �� 0 "!� �= �� ; �-a� ; �-.sz i � i � I � � i I I � b� � �! , L �" v , � 4 � E; i � }�� I �e ` 1 ( —_ •--.—� ' i b� _i k I �.{ I � � i �� ♦ t ♦ti♦ ii � ' ❑� • ��'� � -.}�� i I w i� � o •� _ �� ; �� ;� _ � �,� �, ,,� ' ak a I � �� i � � f' � i � ( i . ; ' ,'�► � � � I I :�' C � � I . f � � � + I � � � ��;= �� ''� � ��,� ,;�. a�� ' i � �� ! ;� � �� ,�� ( � � � � � I �� . / ` Y \ -`_ �� i r^±t. � V � .�., � . �i�: .�'� \ � � � � �%' q� � � 3l1N3Atl Nd31S3M �.

FROST REZONING Zoning File No. 96-050 Dear Committee Members: On behalf of the Boazd of Directors of the Blair House Residential Condominium Association and the residents of �e condominium itself, I would 1�Tce ro express our enthusiastic support for W.A. FrosYs tezoning petition. At our Board meeting of October 23, 1995, after meeting with Frost's general manager, Mr. Robert Crew, the Board unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the proposed e�cpansion and improvements to Frost's existing outdoor dining facility. Indeed, the Boazd urged individuai residents to support the rezoning effort by signing pefitions to support tfie proposat. The vast majority of Blair House residents have in fact signed and reiumed such peritioas and to-date I have not received any negative contments with respect to FrosPs proposal. For more than twenty yeats W.A. Fmst has been a major asset and vital part of the Cathedral Hill neighborhood, and Blair House residents have always considered the business to be an excellent neighbor. We are, of course, very concemed with maintaining the vi�lity of U�is neighborhood and we sincerely believe that FrosPs continued success is a key eletnent in sustaining and enhancing that vitality. We believe this project will be not only an aesthetic improvement to the area but will also enhance the prospects of continued success for Frost. Accordingly, we strongly support Frost's application for rezoning and encourage the Zoning Committee to issue a favorable recommendation to the St. Paul Planning Commission. Should you have any questions regarding our posirion on this matter, piease feel free to contact me. My address is 165 Westem Avenue North, #408, Sk Paul, MN 55102; my home phone is 225-8082; my work phone is 282-6346. Very truly yours, � % h' .
