Commissioner Field said neighbors testified that no survey had been done and there are easements that would make this triangular site difficult to devefop for two duplexes. He also said he thinks the proposed zoning might constiTUte spot zorting. Commissioner Mejia stated he drove by the site and stated Yhe area is mach smaller than it laid out on paper and he supports Commissioner Field's motion to send the case back to the Zoning Committee. Commissioner Kramer stated because ofthe triangulaz shape ofthe property there will probably be set back issues and it would be good to understand what variances might be needed before rezoning the property. He is less concerned about this being spot zoning because there is already a mix ofzoning there. Commissioner Gordon stated it is not spot zoning and it is consistent with current zoning in every direction: I-2 to the north and east, OS-1 to the south, and R-4 with duplexes to the west. There might be a variance request later, but that is a separate iss¢e. He doesn't know what would be accomplished by requiring a survey and is against the motion. Commissioner Alton questioned why the property couldn't be used as it is currently zoned. Commissioner Field stated there is neighborhood opposition to the rezoning. He stated once the rezoning is done iYs done and he would like to fu(ly understand the consequence of rezoning. He referred to Commissioner Kramer's suggestion that cluster housing under the existing R-4 zoning might be a better way to develop tlie site. Commissioner Kramer stated die total lot area would altow two duplexes under RT-2 zoning, but t6aYs not enough information. Tl�e tria�tgular shape and easements miglit tead to setUack variances.

Arthur Baumeister • 02-133-003 - Rezone from R-4 One-Family Residential to RT-1 Two- Family Residential to build iwo duplexes. SW corner of Concord and Page. Yang Zhang presented the staff report with a recommendation of approval to rezone from R-4 One-Family Residential to RT-1 Two-Family Residentiai to build two dupiexes. Arthur Baumeister the applicant stated he was in fuli accordance with the staff report. No one spoke in support of the rezoning. Mr. Kenneth Carpenter, 476 Sidney St. E., stated he was against the rezoning because he has a problem with absentee landlords and rental properties in regards to keeping their property in good condition. At the question of Commissioner Mejia, Mr. Carpenter stated he had no problem with owner- occupied duptexes. Kelly Moenck, 481 E. Sidney Street, stated she was concemed with two duplexes being built on the small parcei of land. It will cause parking and maintenance probiems. A single family home would better suit this property and the atmosphere of the neighborhood. At the question of Commissioner Kramer, Ms. Zhang stated it has not been determined how the two duplexes are to be buiit on the property, and the project may need a setback variance because of the shape of the lot, but lot coverage is not an issue. The applicant will get a survey done after the property is rezoned. Alan Markin, 471 E. Sidney, stated the neighborhood needed single family homes rather than rental property and it is zoned for single family. He also stated his concerns on parking issues. Michael Maloney, 461 E. Sidney, gave a history of the surveys that were conducted in the neighborhood. He aiso reiterated that the 5 lots would only support one house. Art Baumeister stated the land was platted back in the 1860's. The home on the triangular part of the lots will need a minor setback variance_ Their architect looked at the proposed buildings and thinks it will work. At the question of Commissioner Gordon, Mr. Baumeister stated they have been approached by someone to purchase one of the proposed duplexes who plans to reside there and hopefully both duplexes will be owner-occupied. Zoning Case # 02-133-003 July 18, 2002 Zoning Committee Minutes Page 2 The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Field expressed concem about this being spot zoning. After some discussion, Commissioner Gordon moved approval of the rezoning. Commissioner Anfang seconded the motion. Commissioner Kramer and Commissioner Gordon stated they had some reservations on this case because of spot zoning, and without a survey it is hard to detertnine what type of buildings wouid fit on that parcel of land. However, the area already has a mix of land uses. Commissioner Morton stated she would vote against the motion because it was spot zoning and wili set a bad precedent for a residential area. Commissioner Field stated he would vote against the project because there is no detailed site plan and iYs not clear what type of variances would be needed. He also has a problem with spot zoning. Commissioner Gordon noted that there are duplex, business and industrial uses in the area, and the proposed duplexes would not be of higher density than the exisfing uses. Commissioner Anfang and Mejia noted that the proposal uses the lots creatively, which is consistent with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan. After further discussion the motion passed by a vote of 4-2 with Field and Morton voting against it.

The Comprehensive Plan also calls for higher density housing along neighbofiood bus corridors (Objective 6.8.1, Land Use Plan). The property is located along Concord, which is a bus route. 4. Since the rezoning is NOT from residential to commercial use, no petition of neighboring property owners is required. 5. The property is located within the River Corridor Urban Diversified District (RC-4), and is subject fo standards specffied in section 65.400 of the Zoning Code. Because the site is in a developed area with public sewer and water service, and is not located on a slope greater than 98 percent, these standards will be met by the proposed deveiopment. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the findings above, staff recommends approval of the rezoning of the southwest comer of Concord and Page (PIN 09-28-22-32-0021 thru 0025) from R-4 One- Family Residential to RT-1 Two-Family Residential to build two duplex homes. od-�i 8l PETIYION TO AMENO THE tONING CODE Dep¢rtment of Plonning and Economic Development Zoning Sectioa 1400 Crty Hall Annex 25 West Fourth Sheet Sairst Paul, MN SSI D2-1634 (65I) 266-6589 Property Zdning off File # : ` Fee: - Tentative tie Date: Address �!1 l'�/�ll�]. !j'(�?��'� - �(Jl� L�1'jQ APPLICANT City �� 1?L St. �!1 Zip �(p ( DaytimePhone Contact Person ('rf different) Phone Address / Location S�. �i.F(o , c�LEj{ (�KLg p� � yK r I�g;t.� t�g j P�� -t— PROPERTY LOCATION �egat Description'�/�Pr.

My husband, Alan, and i are against zoning this for duplexes. We live on Sidney Street which would be one block from Page and there are 2 duplexes that are nothing but trouble. 7here is a number of cars parked in front of the duplexes because there are no garages provided for vehicles. We want to keep out any more duplexes in the area. The landiords don't seem very interested in keeping the properties up to snuff and are unconcemed how the occupants trash the neighborhood. We don't know anything about this Arthur Baumeister. Is this something we would leam at the hearing on Thursday? If no one shows up to protest, does the proposal go through wfthout any further notice? 1 believe the City of St. - Paul has an obligation to info[m Qroperty owners suROUnding the area about who the applicant is, where � he comes from, does he maintain his property, how many properties he owns, what exactly he plans on doing with the lot(s), etc. We should also be notified more than a couple of weeks in advance. This notice was dated 7!5 and the hearing is 7l18. That is not enough time for us to get a petition going to protest the approval of the rezoning. Shirley and Afan Marken 471 E. Sidney St. St. Paul, MN 55107 651-227-6336 t ang hang - oning issue Page From; "Shirley Marken" <Shirley.Marken@co.washington.mn.us> To: <yang.zhang@ci.stpaul.mn.us> Date: 7/24/02 4:09PM SubjecE: Zoning issue Yang, I e-mailed you a note on 7l77 and have not had any response. I am writing about the rezoning of property located on Concord and Page. The applicant is Art Baumeister. I had requested a continuance of the hearing which was held on 7/18, but was told by voice message from you that the oniy person with a legai right to ask for a continuance is the applicant. I am very disturbed that we as residents do not have a legai right to ask for a continuance. The rezoning affects us, not Art Baumeister..he never intends to live in our neighborhood. My husband and a few other neighbors attended the public hearing on the 18th and were very distraught that the rezoning was voted in favor of Baumeister in spite of all the concems with the rezoning. Apparently, 8aumeister did not have any blueprints that could be evaluated nor did he have fo explain anything. 1 would like the names of the council members who attended so I can write to them. We would like to appeal their decision to rezone this property. My husband broughf up a vaiid point about parking at which point he was told by one of the councii members that parking was not the issue!! Parking is a very major issue here. The building of two duplexes will house 4 families. Most people have 2 vehicles per family, that means 8 vehicles will be parked in and around our neighborhood. Baumeister said he was putting a garage with each unit, but my bet is that it wili only be one garage per unit so that leaves 4 vehicfes parked on the street. Perhaps the residents will not park in the garage but use it for storage. My husband also brought up a valid issue...a city council many years ago made the decision to zone that property single family and now the current city council is changing that decision. lt is not a fair decision for Yhe residenfs that live here. We are the ones that have to deal with "slum" landlords that don't take care of their property nor find good renters. Renters, for the most part, do not care about mowing the lawn or fixing windows, screens, etc. We already have so many people crammed into a four block area and now we're going to have to deal with 4 more families. IYs ridiculous!! I would request that you sent me the names of the council members who were present and how to write to them. I would also ask that you put me in touch with someone that we can talk to about making an appeal to this city councl's decision. Thank you for your time. � Sincerely, Shiriey Marken Home: 651-227-6336 Office: 651-430-6161 e-mail: shirley,marken@co.washington.mn.us I find it very interesting that the public hearing notice is on a small postcard, gray in color, with black print,..nothing that would catch anyone's eye. Granted, peopie should read their mail, but this certainly doesn't catch anyone`s interest at ali. A concem 1 have with this type of mailing is that it is not in Spanish. A majority of our neighbors are Mexican and speak littie or no English and most likely don't read English. � � ��ryR . .. �. . . . . . � ...P . � � ... .� r r. �� :�~=, �s C , . s'. : az.. . s ' r.:; - • _ ._ ..� .f� � � . . .iw� <. 3ii: . . �. � . . _ . .. . p � � � , � �.. . � s.�✓. : Y 'fd Y : '� 1 ' . f � 1'. vel.'� . .
