The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict psovisions of the code. This property has been owned and operated by the Public Housin� Agency (PHA) for the last 40 years. The applicant states that there is an unused portion of the site that they would like to sell to Habitat for Humanity for the construction of 5 new low income single family homes. This would further the goals of both organizations which is to provide affordable housing. It would also reduce the amount of unused 1and that the PHA needs to maintain. This is a reasonable use for this property that cannot be nccomplished under the strict provisions of the code. � 2. T32e plight of the land owner is due to circumstances z�niqzse to this pvoperty, and these circzcrostances were not created by the land owner. The RM-3 zoning district aliows a lot coverage of only 15% versus the 30% allowed in the other residential zonin� districts. This ordinance was created in 1975, after this building was constructed, with the reasoning that the greater density allowed in the RM-3 district required more land area. The experience of the PHA over the last 40 yeazs on this site has shown that this extra land has not been used. This is a circumstance that was not created by the applicant. 3. The proposed variance is in keepirig with the spirit artcl intent of the code, anrl is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and rovelfare of the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul.
