Peter has a 23 year old daughter and 21 year old son. Automobile financing has been Peter's profession for 15 years, most recently with LB Sales. Business Name: Auto Acceptance Location: 672 Arcade Street Parcel Size: 123' of frontage on Arcade Street and 39.41 of frontage on Margaret. Office Building is 325 square feet, leaving a 4595 square foot lot for parking automobiles.

Plant 3 Boulevard trees, fix the existing Pylon sign, and general clean up. Other Tenants: Cathy Buschman, lndependent Insurance Agent. Practices: Cars wili not be parked on the street. Cars wili not be repaired on the lot. H istorv Tfie site was at one time used as a gas station. Untii the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commerciai building on the north part of the lot. The foilowing is a chronology of recent approvals: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking lot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residentiai property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car saies for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site). �982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � 9 �-/�� , 1983 Special condition use permit for used car sales approved with 10 conditions inciuding limit of 16 cars for sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-foot visuai screen on east property line. 1987 Site plan approved for used car sales; requires a screening fence along east property line and bol4ards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988 Speciai condition use permit appiication filed and then withdrawn for trai(er sales. 7989 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolution indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992 Staff recommended approval of the special condition use permit for used car sales with nine conditions. The pianning commission denied the permit. 1995 Special Condition Use Permit for used car sa{es was approved by the Pianning Commission. The District 4 Council appealed the Planning Commission's decision to the City Council, which denied the permit. � Zonina Section 60.544 (2) permits outdoor sales space for exclusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobi(es, all subject to the following: a. The lot or area shali be provided with a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and shail be graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. b. Vehicular access to the outdoor sales area shall be at least sixty (60) feet from the intersection of any two (2} streets. c. No repair or refinishing shall be done on the lot uniess conducted within a complete{y enclosed building. d. The minimum !ot area shall be f+fteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site pian shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking. Section 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission • shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial 3 � 7 /�9 • compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Pian and any appiicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. The use wiil provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize fraffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wil� not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and generat welfare. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the appficable regulations of the district in which it is located. ro osal The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustless surtace, and is graded and drained as to dispose of ail surtace water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)l• � The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing wili be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of tra�c. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The use wili not impede the normal and orderiy development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)]. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use whicfi is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare. Denial The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: the extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paui Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. u � q � ��y � Sec. 64.300 {d) (e), which states: the use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Sec. 60.544 (2)(d) which requires: The minimum lot area shal! be fifteen thousand {15,000) square feet. A site plan shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking, Sec. 60.300 (d)(a) which requires: The extent, location and intensity of fhe use will be in substantiai compiiance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicabie subarea pians which were approved by the city council, Sec. 64.300 (d)(cj which requi�es: The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of the developmen4 in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general weifare, and Sec. 68.300 (d)(e) which requires: The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the � district in which it is located. Most of the above sections cited for reasons for denial deal with bufFering the commercial use from fhe residential areas, specifically the use of set backs and landscaping requirements. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, application of the 4 and 6 foot setbacks, the required landscaping between public rights of way, the 10 foot setback from the residentiaf area and the parking space requirements limit the commercial use of the property to a car lot. The city of St. Paul reaiized the hardship in the 1970's and 1980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and wouid deny any reasonable use in the current zoning ciassification. Application of the newly enacted minimum 15,000 square foot requirement ordinance creates a hardship to the applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historically been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasibie commercial use. Adapting the praperiy to another commercia{ use would require expanding the existing building, which wouid violate one of the setback requirements. Denying tfie variance to the 15,000 square foot requirement would restrict the commerciai uses and establish a taking of the property. Conclusion The applicant has a solid business pian for the property, which wiii be an asset to the � community. The applicant needs both a specia4 condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses. � 9� �� Letcer of Intent This letter of intent is entered into between Marv Sayre and Peter Lobinsky for purposes of selling 672 Arcade Street, St. Paul, (the Property) Minnesota owned by Sayre.

To allow outdoor sales of • r1 LJ Kady Dadlez, Planning Division staff, reviewed the sCaff report and presented slides. Staff recommended denial of the special condition use permit based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e of the staff report. The Dayton's Bluff Center for Civic Life voted to oppose the special condition use permit application. One letter of support was received from Hud & Rl's Brake Service, 695 Arcade Street. A petition of support was also submitted by the applicant. Commi�sioner Field asked what the staff recommendation had been regarding the 1995 request for a special condition use permit for a used car lot £or this property. Ms. Dadlez responded that sta£f had recommended denial in 1995. Commissioner Kramer reviewed that since the 1995 case that a minimum lot size requirement of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles had been established by the planning commission. Eric Thole, Attornay with Clinton & Taylor P.A „ 8750 90th St. South, spoke representing the applicant, who was also present. Mr. Thole stated that Mr, Lobinsky was in the pxocess of purchasing the property, with the outcome dependent upon the SCUP. Mr. Thole reviewed that the proposal is for Auto Acceptance, a used car lot that would include financing through a franchise agreement set up with Credit Acceptance Corporation, with a representative located on-site. A majority of the business would be done by computers and over the phone and customers with credit problems would be targeted, and he said it would not be operated as a standard used car lot which would generate a lot of customer traffic on the lot. Mr. Thole reported that repairs have been done to bring the site up to code and that a certificate of occupancy has been issued. The applicant intends to paint the facility, landscape the site, and do general clean-up. No auto repair would be done on-site and all off-street parking could be supported on the site. Mr. Thole referenced materials provided commissioners by the applicant containing a site plan as well as a list of neighbors and businesses that support the proposal. Zn reviewing staff's report he addressed a£ew issues. d2 �� • would not have nearly the problem with the application if the square footage were significantly closer to the 15,000 square feet required. Commissioner Vaught disagreed that the property could only be used as a used car lot. He reviewed that it is zoned B-3 and there are any number of uses which are allowed in a B-3 zone. He said he was a concerned about the rhetoric that there is no other reasonable economic use for the property, saying that it would not be true simply because the client seeks to put a used car lot at the location, but that isn't evidence enou:-t� to mandate that conclusion. Commissioner Vaught referenced the applicant's letter of intent noting that it was contingent upon the SCUP being granted. He established that there isn't any chance of the taking of the property with respect to the applicant if the permit is not approved as the applicant has the ability to back out of the deal. Commissioner Gurney noted Mr. Thole's statement that the property had a long history of being a car lot, although he said that in the 20 year period documented as history that it apparently amounted to a very short amount of time because there were frequent requests for new SCUPS. Gurney asked if the applicant could provide the actual amount of time it was operated as a used car lot. Mr. Thole could not provide that information, however said it was indeed used as a used car lot. Steve Asmus, 871 Margaret Street, spoke on behalf of the 800 Margaret Street Block Club, in opposition. Mr. Asmus confirmed that the lot has been used for car sales from time to time and said the neighborhood had nothing but problems from cars for sale being parked in the street. He said in between the SCUPs thac old used car parts and junk cars have been stored on tfie lot. Mr. Asmus • explained thaC the main reason for neighbors' signatures on the petition of support was that they wished to see the site cleaned up and a business located there, but that they do not wish to see a used car lot. He suggested the site would be appropriate for insurance or credit company purposes. Commissioner Vaught advised that if the neighborhood desired to see the property not be used as a used car lot that they consider doing a study that might lead to a rezoning other than B-3, as used car lots are an allowable use with a special condition use permiC in a S-3 zone, however the minimum square footag_ is the issue in this case. He also suggested that the neighbors might contact the owner or the applicant to attempt to devise a plan that might work £or all. Mr. Asmus responded that the neighborhood has submitted suggestions to the owner of the property as well as have sent potential renters to him. FIe said that much of the neighborhood's opposition to the proposal is that they do not believe the lot size is large enough to handle that type of business. Greg Auge, spoke in opposition on behalf of the Dayton's Bluff Community Council. He reported that Mr. Lobinsky presented his proposal to the Land Use Committee which then voted to oppose the SCUP and that subsequently the board voted for denial as well. He further stated that the board has been consistent in its opposition o£ a used car lot at this location. Harvey Asmus, 860 Margaret, spoke in opposition. Mr. Asmus expressed concern that parking is already a problem on the street due to a number of multi- family dwelling units in the neighborhood and said that much overflow parking goes into the street. He also mentioned traffic safety to be an issue due to obstruction o£ traffic from Margaret on to Arcade Street. Mr. Asmus said the proposal doesn't meet the neighborhood plan, that others have offered to purchase the property as well as to rent the property, with t•Sr. Asmus claiming • that the owner appears to have a preference for a used car lot. 3 � 9� ��j • Commissioner Field said he would support the motion because the 15,000 square foot lot area requirement is clearly not met. He said in the past it was argued that a small lot of this size was not economically viable. He didn't believe it was the commissioners' purpose to determine economic viability. The motion carried on a voice vote of 7 to 0. Drafted by: �°-"�� bonna Sanders • u Submit ed by� Appr ved by: 1. I ��/�� - ��, �,.

A neighbor spoke in opposition because previous conditions were not met. 1984: Field investigation by staff indicated several conditions not met including excess number of cars on lot, Margaret driveway kept open, no landscaping, and it appeared cars for sale parked in street. 1987: Site plan approved for used car sales; requires screening fence along east property line and bollards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988: Special condition use permit application for trailer sales was filed and then withdrawn. 1959: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolution indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992: Special condition use permit for used car sales was denied by the planning commission. The applicant appealed to the city council which upheld the planning commission's decision. Staff had recommended approval of the permit with nine conditions as did the zoning committee. C J . C � In 1992 when the planning commission denied the special condition use permit to allow the sales of used cars, the basis of that decision was that the use did not conform to the required findings o£ 64.300(d). First, that the use would be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the area: on-street parking, theft and vandalism, and an 8-foot chain link fence would detract from nearby residential uses and recent improvements. Second, that the use does nat conform to the applicable regulations of the district in that the site does not provide the £our-foot setbacks with landscaping between public rights-of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. Finally, the planning commission denial cited the policy statement in the 23ear East Side Improvement Strategy recommending that land uses which are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots) be phased-out. The city council's resolution affirming the planning commission's decision cited the same findings. 1995: Special condition use permit for a used car lot was approved by the planning commission. Permit allowed 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The District 4 Council appealed the planning commission's decision to the city council. The city council granted the appeal of the District Council and denied the special condition use permit. In 1995 when the planning commission approved the special condition use permit to allow the outdoor sales of automobiles it found that all of the conditions of the permit were met and approved the permit to allow 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The city council's resolution overturning the planning commission's decision and denying the permit cited the � I g7 l� Zoning File #96-247 • Page Six conditions, when strict application of such special conditions would ��n reasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of property or an existing structure and would result in exceptional tin due hardship to the owner of such property or structure; provided, tfiat such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfare of the community and is consistent with reasonable enjoyment of adjacent property. STAFF RECOL4+�NDATION: Based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e staff recommends denial of the special condition use permit. `J • �Z 9� i�� • September 6, 1996 Mr. Ken Ford Plannin� Administrator City of Saint Paul 25 W.

Until the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commercial building on the north part of the lot. The following is a chronology of recent approvals: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking lot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residential property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site). 1982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � 97_ �� Z�� qb�utl • Section 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any appiicabie subarea plans which were approved by the city council. b. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wili not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. d. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. • Previous Ap�lication The following were found by the zoning committee at their December 7, 1995 hearing: The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)1 The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991) [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The proposed use is a relative�y low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot wiil not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare.

The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial � � �-�� , compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. b.

Proposal The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustiess surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surFace water accumulafed within the area. (Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)1• � The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing wiil be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 {2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of tra�c. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding properry for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)]. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot wiil not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the pubiic safety and general welfare. Denial The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: the extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicab/e subarea plans which were approved by the city council. • � 9�-/�� Sec. 64.300 (d) (e), which stafes: the use shall, in all otherrespects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Sec. 60.544 (2)(d) which requires: The minimum lot area shall be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan shal( be submitted showing the layout of the vehicies for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking, Sec. 60.300 (d)(a) which requires: The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea pians which were approved by the city council, Sec. 64.300 (d)(c) which requires: The use wiil not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the pubiic hsalth, safety and general welfare, and Sec. 68.300 {d)(e) which requires: The use shall, in ali other respects, conform to ihe applicabie regulations of the � district in which it is located. Most of the above secYions cited for reasons for denial deal with buffering the commercial use from the residential areas, specifically the use of set backs and landscaping requirements. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, application of the 4 and 6 foot setbacks, the required landscaping between public rights of way, the 10 foot setback from the residential area and fhe parking space requirements limit the commercial use of the property to a car lot. The city of St. Paui realized the hardship in the 1970's and 1980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and wouid deny any reasonable use in the current zoning classification. Application of fhe newly enacted minimum 15,000 square foot requirement ordinance creates a hardship to the applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historically been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasibie commercial use. Adapting the property to another commerciai use wouid require expanding the existing building, which would violate one of the setback requirements. Denying the variance to the 15,000 square foot requirement wou(d restrict the commerciai uses and establish a taking of the property. Conclusion The applicant has a solid business plan for the property, which will be an asset to the . community. The applicant needs both a special condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses.

To allow outdoor sales of Kady Dadlez, Planning Division staff, reviewed the staff report and presented slides. Staff recommended denial of the special condition use permit based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e of the staff report. The Dayton's B1uff Center for Civic Li£e voted to oppose the special condition use permit application. One letter of support was received from Bud & A1's Brake Service, 695 Azcade Street. A peCition of support was also submitted by the applicant. Commissioner Field asked whaC the staff recommendation had been regarding the 1995 request for a special condition use permit for a used car 1ot for this property. Ms. Dadlez responded that staff had recommended denial in 1995. Commissioner Kramer xeviewed that since Che 1995 case that a minimum lot size requirement of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles had been established by the planning commission. Eric Thole, Attorney with Clinton & Taylor P.A., 8750 90th St. South, spoke representing the applicant, who was also present. Mr. Thole stated that Mr. Lobinsky was in Che process o£ purchasing the property, with the outcome dependent upon the SCUP. Mr. Tho1e reviewed that the proposal is for Auto Acceptance, a used car lot that would include financing through a franchise agreement set up with Credit Acceptance Corporation, with a representative located on-site. A majority of the business would be done by computers and over the phone and customers with credit problems would be targeted, and he said it would not be operated as a standard used car lot which would generate a lot of customer traffic on the lot. Mr. Thole reported that repairs have been done to bring the site up to code and Chat a certificate of occupancy has been issued. The applicant intends to paint the facility, landscape the site, and do general clean-up. No auto repair would be done on-site and a11 off-street parking could be sugported on the site. Mr. Thole referenced materials provided commissioners by the applicant containing a site plan as well as a list of neighbors and businesses that support the proposal. In reviewing staff's report he addressed a few issues. �Z �-�-�� He noted that the applicant has met a majority of the general conditions which apply to special condition use permits and reviewed the conditions which were not met. 3a. with respect to: non-comp2iaace with the neighborhood plan. He suggested finding 3a to be somewhat ambiguous as it first states that it has to meet the setbacks and that it asks for a phasing out of commercial uses that are incompatible with adjacent residential uses, which he felt the staff report states that it is not going to be detrimental to the neighborhood character. 3e. with respect to: not meeting the required setbacks. Mr. Thole reviewed the site plan and said he was unable to envision any other viable commercial use of the property, given its configuration wiCh the small building and long piece of property. 3d. with respect to: the minimum lot area of fifteen thousand 115,000) square feet. hir. Thole suggested that if the committee strictly enforces the 15,OD0 square feet provision, given the property's Zong history of being used for such a use, that it pretty much denies any use of the property. Mr. Thole concluded that when all of the requirements for a used car lot are applied to this property that it eliminates any viable use. He suggested it would be best that Lhe property be used, cleaned up and that the proposal be approved. Commissioner Kramer asked whether Mr. Tho1e knew if the existing building on the property could be replaced. Mr. 2ho1e respor.ded that in the case of rebui2ding that a 2o foot setback wou2d have to be met which would result in the inability to meet other conditions, which would prohibit building on the site. Commissioner Kramer asked if the independent insurance agent could locate in the existing building alone, Mr. Thole responded that such a use would be possible but he did not see as a viable business use, given a building of 400 square feet which makes up less than 10 percent of the total lot. Ms. Dadlez reEerenced the history/discussion in the staff report indicating that a variance was granted in 1976 allowing for a 10 foot setback along the eastern property line, and that the setback is more an issue along Margaret and Arcade Street. Commissioner Kramer asked what might be rebuilt on the site if the existing building were torn down. Mr. Warner responded that circumstances would change if the building were to come down, but that presently with the variance granted in 1976 for a SO foot setback, that it a2lows the bui2ding to be used as it exists, and also allows the parking spaces adjacent to the wood fence. Commissioner Vaught reviewed that whether or not the 15,000 square foot requirement was newly enacted or not that it is law. When commissioners look at variances and setbacks it is not enough to judge an application positively that an applicant meets the majority of the requirements, and said that it is also a matter of degree to which requirements are or are not met, xe said he CJ � � J u 2 53 �' • would not have nearly the problem with the application if the square footage were signi£icantly closer to the 15,000 square £eet required. Commissioner Vaught disagreed that the property could only be used as a used car lo�. Ae reviewed that it is zoned B-3 and there are any number of uses which are allowed in a B-3 zone. He said he was a concerned about the rhetoric that there is no other reasonable economic use for the property, saying that it would not be true simply becavse the client seeks to put a used car lot at the location, but that isn't evidence enou:-h to mandate that conclusion. Commissioner Vaught referenced the applicant's letter of intent noting that it was contingent upon the SCUP being granted. He established that theze isn•t any chance of the taking of the property with respect to the applicant if the permit is not approved as the applicant has the ability to back out of the deal. Commissioner Gurney noted Mr. Thole•s statement that the property had a long history of being a car lot, although he said that in the 20 year period documented as history that it apparently amounted to a very short amount of time because there were freguent requests for new SCUPS. Gurney asked if Che agplicant could grovide the actual amount of time it was operated as a used car lot. hfr. Thole could not provide that information, however said it was indeed used as a used car lot. Steve Asmus, 871 Margaret Street, spoke on behalf of the 800 Margaret Street Block Club, in opposition. Mr, Asmus confirmed that the lot has been used for car sales from time to time and said the neighborhood had nothing but problems from cars for sale being parked in the street. He said in between the SCUPs that o1d used car parts and junk cars have 6een stored on the lot. Mr. Asmus � explained that the main reason for neighbors' signatures on the petition of support was that they wished to see the cite cleaned up and a business located theze, but that they do not wish to see a used car lot. He suggested the site would be appropr�ate for insurance or credit company purposes. Commissioner Vaught advised that if the neighborhood desired to see the property not be used as a used car lot that they consider doing a study that might lead to a rezoning other than B-3, as used car lots are an allowable use with a special condition use permit in a B-3 zone, however the minimum square footage is the issue in this case. Fie also suggested that the neighbors might contact the owner or the applicant to attempt to devise a plan that might work £or all. Mr. Asmus responded that Che neighborhood has submitted suggestions to the owner of the property as well as have sent potential renters to him. He said that much of the neighborhood's opposition to the proposal is that they do not believe the lot size is large enough to handle that type of business. Greg Auge, spoke in opposition on behalf of the Dayton�s Hluff CommuniCy Council. Iie reporCed that Mr. Lobinsky presented his proposal to the Land Use Committee which then voted to oppose the SCUP and that subsequently the board voted for denial as well. He further stated that the boaYd has been consistent in its opposition of a used car lot at this location. Harvey Asmus, 860 Margaret, spoke in opposition. Mr. Asmus expressed concern that parking is already a problem on the street due to a number of multi- family dwelling units in the neighborhood and said that much overflow parking goes into the street. Ae also mentioned traffic safety to be an issue due to obstruction of traffic £rom Margaret on to Azcade Street. Mr. Asmus said the proposal doesn't meet the neighborhood p1an, that others have o£fered to purchase the property as well as to rent the property, with t9r. Asmus claiming � that the owner appears to have a preference for a used car lot. 3 �* ..�"l� ��-�� Bertha Asmus, 860 b7argaret, spoke in opposiCion. Nts. Asmus reiterated that � interest has been shown in the property for other uses and noted a realty company and a small newspaper that were turned down by the owner. She advised that perhaps a coffee drive-thru might be an appropriate use and said that she and others in the neighborhood are interested in seeing a business other than the used car lot occupy the site. Ms. Asmus spoke of concerns regarding on-street parking, and traffic generated and related child safety. She suggested that a petition in opposition o£ a used car Zo[ at the site in the past currently stands and .that the neighborhood is working towards, and has been making great strides in, improving their neighborhood. Mr. Pho1e spoke in rebuttle. In response to alternative uses of the property he suggested that the free market will dictate a use's viability. Mr. Thole briefly reviewed the applicant's proposal reiterating that this used car lot would be unique as it targets its customers and most of the work would be done over the phone and by computer. He noted that the off-street parking requirements are met and that he did not foresee on-street parking to be a problem. Mr. Thole disagreed that the owner is being selective as to the purchaser of the property and sai@ that the owner is seriously attempting to sell the property. Commissioner Gurney noted the testimony that the majozity of the business would be done by computer and telephone, yet in the letter circulated to the neighbors for support of the proposal states that the applicant hopes to capitalize on the existing trafEic, in contrast to just computer and telephone generated business, as stated. Mr. Thole responded that incidental benefits that might be generated as a result of the location would be beneficia2, however would not be the specific targeted cZiente2e. � The public hearing was closed. Commisaioner Kramer recommended denial of the special condition uee permit based on findinga 2d, 3a, 3c and 3e, noting that he dieagreed with ata£f and found that condition 3c was not met. Commissioner Xzamer said that condition 3c relates to the proximity of the car lot to the residentiaZ neighborhood, and that testimony was received relating to its detrimental impact. He said that the shortage of off-street parking spaces will result in customers parking on Margaret Street, which he noted as ane of the city council's previously identified reasons for denial, and TCramer said this would be exacerbated by additional tenants renting space in the building. Commisaioner Guzney aeconded the motion. Commissioner Vaught said issues relative to traffic and parking don't hold much impect for him when the street carries 6,700 cars, and he questioned the potential effect the traffic generated by the used car lot could have. Ae also said that he doesn't conclude that the statutorily correct number of o£f- street parking spaces will in fact, not lead to those spaces being used for the purpose that they are there £or and lead to parking on Margaret. Commissioner Vaught didn't agree with the findings regarding condition 3c. vaught sai@ he would support the motion due to the 15,000 square foot requirement, stating that the proposal is clear2y deficient. Commissianer Kramer noted two things supporting finding 3c: the testimony of the area resident regarding the direction of traffic on Sixth Street and that Margaret Street as a result of that restriction will be used to test drive cars; and the Near East Side Improvement Strategy that identifies all auto- � related uses as incompatible with adjacent residential uses. �S ��-��y � Commissioner Field said he would support the motion because the 15,000 square £oot lot area requirement is clearly not met. He said in the past it was argued that a small lot of this size was not economically viable. FIe didn't believe it was Che commissioners' purpose to determine economic viability. The motion carried an a voice vote of 7 to 0.

P9RPOSE: special condition use permit to allow outdoor sales of used automobiles. B. PARCBL SIZF: The property has 123 feet of frontage on Arcade Street and 39.41 feet of frontage on Margaret for a total. Iot area of 4,847 square feet. Including one-half of the alley, the lot area is 5,241 square � feet. c. SxisT2NG LAND IISE: The site is vacant except for a small building and paved surface. D.

East: One and two-£amily uses in an RT-1 zoning district_ South: One and two-family uses in an RT-1 zoning district. West: Clinic, grocery store, drug store, and other commercial and residential uses in a B-3 zoning district. E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Sections 60.544(2) and 64.300(d1 of the zoning code permit outdoor sales of used automobiles subject to the conditions detailed in findings #2 and #3 of this report. F. H25TORY/DISCIISSION: The site was used at one Lime as a gas station. The building on the site appears to date from that use. Until the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commercial building on the north part oP the lot. Following is a chronology of recent activities: 1976: The board of zoning appeals approved three variances €or a I2 car parking lot. The one variance zelevant to the use now proposed was a variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between 8-3 uses and residential properties. 19s1: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site) with several conditions including no certificate of occupancy until conditions are met and Iimit of four cars. Use apparently was never established. . Underground gas tanks were removed in 1981. 57 97-��1 � Zoning File #96-247 Page 7tvo 1982: License issued for used car sales for four cars. 1983: Special condition use permit £or useci car sales approved with 10 conditions including limit o£ 15 cars £or sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-£oot visual screen on east property line. A neighbor spoke in opposition because previous conditions were not met. 1984: Field investigation by staff indicated several conditions not met including excess number of cars on lot, Margaret driveway kept open, no landscaping, and it appeared cars for sale parked in street. 1987: Site plan approved for used car sales; requires screening fence along east property line and bollards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988: Special condition use permit application for trailer sales was filed and then withdrawn. 1989: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resoluCion indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992: 5pecial condition use permit for used car sales was denied by the planning commission. The applicant appealed to the city council which upheld the planning commission's decision. Staff had recommended approval of the permit with nine conditions as did the zoning committee. � In 1992 when the planning commission denied the special condition use permit to allow the sales of used cars, the basis o£ that decision was that the use did not conform to the required findings of 64.300id). First, that the use would be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the area: on-street parking, theft and vandalism, and an 8-foot chain link fence would detract from nearby residential uses and recent improvements. Second, that the use does not conform to the applicable regulations of the district in that the site does not provide the four-foot setbacks with landscaping between public rights-of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. Finally, the planning commission denial cited tlze policy statement in the Near EasC Side Improvement Strategy recommending that land uses which are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots) be phased-out. The city council's resolution affirming the planning commission�s decision cited the same findings. 1995: Special condition use germit for a used car lot was apgroved by the planning commission. Permit allowed 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The Distzict 4 Council appealed the planning commission`s decision to the city council. The city council granted the appeal of the District Council and denied the special condition use permit. In 1995 when the planning commission approved the special condition use permit to allow the outdoor sales of automohiles it found that all of the conditions of the permit were met and approved the permit to allow 7 cars for sale and 4 ofE-street � parking spaaes. The city council's resoluCion over[.urning the planning commission's decision and denying the permit cited the � ��-«� Zoning File #96-247 Page Three small lot size, the policy statement from the Near East Side Improvement Strategy, and the detrimental impact to the existing character of development in the immediate neighborhood. Finally, for your information, the following is the staff analysis which accompanied the staff report for the special condition use permit requested in 1995. STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed site, 4,847 square feet, is too small to accommodate a used car lot and the required setbacks, screening, and landscaping (the minimum lot size for a single £amily home is greater at S,Q00 square feet). Planning staff has seen similar problems in other areas o£ the city where used car lots are squeezed onto scaall sites. Placing conditions on permits to Iimit the number of cars on a lot and require off-street parking does not guarantee that the conditions will be met. Violations of these conditions occur regularly as evidenced by enforcement actions in the Office of License, Inspections, and Environmental Protection. Staff has talked about this issue and believes that establishing a minimum lot size for used car lots is an idea for the planning commission to consider in a future minor zoning amendment. In May, 1996, the planning commission recommended approval of, and the city council adopted, an amendment to require a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles. G. DISTRICT COIINCIL R&COb4dHNDATION: The Dayton'S Bluff Center £or Civic Life voted to oppose tke special condition use permit application f H. FINDINGS• � The app7_icant has a contract to purchase the property and intends to sell previously owned automobiles to people who need to establish credit. The hours of operation will be 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays; tkere will be one full time employee and one part time employee. In addition to a general clean up of the site, the applicant intends to paint the exterior of the building, repair the existing fence along the eastern property line, repair the existing pylon sign, and plant three boulevard trees. The applicant adds that there will be a tenant, an independent insurance agent, in the office building, along with the car sales office. Section 60.544(2J permits outdoor sales space for exclusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobiles, all subject to the following: The lot or area sba21 be provided with a permanent, dnrab3e and dustZess surface, aad shall be graded aad draiaed as to dispose of aS1 surface water acaumulated within tke area. This condition is met. The site is adequately paved and drained. b. Vehicular access to the outdoor sales area shall be at least sixty (60) feet from the iutersection of any two !2) streets. This condition is met. The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with arcade Street. No repair or refiaishfng shall be doae oa the lot ualess conducted within a complete3y enclosed building. �iiJ 9 �-�� • Zoning File #96-247 Page Four This condition is met. The applicant states that no major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot, except for changing £lat tires and jump starts. Aowever, sta£f advised the applicant that no repair or refinishing of any kind can be done unless the activity takes place within a completely enclosed building. The applicant undersCands and accepts this condition and adds that he has other facilities for repairs and re£inishing. d. The minimvm lot area shall be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan sha11 be submitted ahowing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, aad customer parking. This condition is not met. The site has a lot area of 5,242 square feet, including one-half of the alley. This is 9,758 square feet less than required. The applicant requests a modi£ication of this condition stating that this minimum lot size requirement creates a hardship. Ae states that historically the property has been used for auto sales, which is the property�s only feasible commercial use. He adds that denying the modification would restrict the commercial uses and establish a taking of the property. StafP does not recommend that this condition be modified since such a modification would not be in keeping with the intent and purpose of the special condition. In fact, the staff analysis in the previous special condition use permit request for this property raised the issue of the inappropriateness of particularly sma11 sites being used for car sales. � 3. Section 64.300(d) of the zoning code requires that before trie planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special � conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, Iocatioa and intensity of the use will be in substantiaZ compliance mith the Saint Pau2 Comprehensive Plaa aad any applicable subarea plaas which weze approved by the city couneil. This condition is not met. One of the land use and zoning goals of the District 4 Plan states, "to promote better buffering between residential, commercial, and industrial land uses on and around East 7th Street,..." p. 13. The District 4 land use�policy states that the district council will support development of new or redevelopment of existing structures in industrial or commercial areas only when accompanied by parking provisions as established in the zoning code and by proper landscaping. The applicant is able to provide the required o£f-street parking but there is not adequate space on the lot to provide the required setback and landscaping and still accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. The Near East Side Improvement Strategy (N25) completed in 1989 contains a set of strategies to address the issues of housing, economic development, neighborhood image, transportation, parks and recreation, land use and zoning, and education. The most relevant part of the document to the proposed use is the goals for economic development. These goals include: 1) "concentrate commercial land uses along existing commercial spines and at existing commercial nodes; 2) improve and maintain the vitality and appearance of commercial establishments; 3) phase out . m r- ��- [S�t Zoning File #96-247 Page Five commercial uses that are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots)." (p. 23, goals 1, 8, and 9) The NIS was accepted as a policy statement by the planning commission and the city council but was not adopted as part of the city's comprehensive plan. b. The use mill provide adequate tagress aad egress to miaimize traffic congestioa .in the public streets. This condition is met. The proposed use is not expected to generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). On-street parking is permitted on the east side of Arcade Street except from 4:00 p.m. to 6:D0 p.m.. On-street parking on the west side of Arcade between Seventh & Margaret is limited to 15 minutes from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. c. The use wi31 not be detrimeatal to the existiag character of tbe deveSo�eat in the ia�ediate neighborhood or eadanger the public hea2th, safety and geaeral welfare. C� This condition is met. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be deLrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare. � However, theft of and vandalism to vehicles parked on Margaret Street was identified as a problem when used cars have been sold from the subject site in the past. d. The use wiS1 not impede tke normal and orderZy develo�ent and improvemeat of the surrouadiag property for uses permitted ia the district. This condition is met. e. The use shall, in all otfier respects, conform to the applicable regulatioas of the district in whick it is located. This condition is not met. The site plan submitted does not provide the required setbacks with landscaping between public rights of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and sti17. accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. In addition, while Section 6I.I03(b) requires side and rear yards of at least ten feet when a business district adjoins a side yard in an adjacent residential district, the board of zoning appeals granted a variance of this requirement for this property in 1976. 4. The off-street parking requirement for used car sales is one space per 400 square feet of office space and one parking space per 2,000 square feet of outdoor display area. The requirement for the proposed use is three spaces (one for the office space and two for the outdoor display area). The site plan indicates four off-street parking spaces. 5. Section 64.300(f): of the zoning code states, "The planning commission, after public hearing, may modify any or a12 special P� 9��i�� • Zoning File #96-247 Page Six conditions, when strict application of such special condiCions would unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of property or an existing structure and would result in exceptional undue hardship to the owner of such property or structure; provided, that such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfare of the community and is consistent wi[.h reasonable enjoyment of adjacent property.

The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residential property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street {south part of the site). 1982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � ��-l ��a�� a�' 241 � 1983 Special condition use permit for used car sales approved with 10 * conditions including limit of 16 cars for sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-foot visual screen on east property line. 1987 Site plan approved for used car sales; requires a screening fence along east property line and boliards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988 Special condition use permit application filed and then withdrawn for trailer sales. 1989 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales.

The planning commission denied the permit. 1995 Special Condition Use Permit for used car sales was denied by the zoning committee. The zoning committee's decision was overturned by the ptanning commission, which sef various conditions on the approval. The applicant appealed placement of the condition to the city council. The city � council ruled against the applicant. Zonin Section 60.544 (2) permits outdoor sales space for exciusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobiles, all subject to the following: a. The lot or area shall be provided with a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and shal! be graded and drained as to dispose of at! surface water accumulated within the area. b.

The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any appiicable subarea plans which were approved by the city counci�. b. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wil! not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. d. 7he use wilf not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. 7he use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. � Previous Application The following were found by the zoning committee at their December 7, 1995 hearing: The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustfess surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 {2) (a)] The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 fieet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)). The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991) (Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The proposed use is a relative(y low intensity commerciaf use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be detrimental to the character of the ne+ghborhood or endanger the public safety and general we4fare. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (c)]. � The use wifl not impede the normaf and orderfy development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)}. i ��-i�� Z��f�� ,� �b�2q � Denial ^ The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: fhe exfent, locabon and intensity of fhe use wrll be in subsfantial compliance wrth the Sainf Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by fhe cify council. and Sec. 64.300 (d) (e), which states: the use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is locafed. The explanation given for each application of the above section deals with buffering the commerciai use from the residential areas, specificaily the use of set backs and landscaping requiremenTs. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, the 4 and 6 foot setbacks with landscaping between public righfs of way and the parking lot"would eliminate any possible commercia! use of the property. The land is zoned commercial and strict application of the zoning code on the property results in undue hardship. The city of St. Paul realized the hardship in the 1970's and 9980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and would deny any reasonabfe use in the current zoning ciassification. Variance Section 60.544 (2)(d), which requires auto sales businesses to have a minimum lot area of fifteen thousand square feet, was added to the zoning code after the 1995 special condition use permit for the property was denied by city council. Application of the newly enacted ordinance creates a hardship to fhe applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historica!!y been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasible commercial use. Denying the variance would restrict the commercial uses and establish a taking of the property. Conciusion The applicant has a solid business plan for the property, which will be an asset to the community. The applicant needs both a special condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses. � � Li1 Nlarg Street Grass o = Sidewalk a,� `a �fi Display 1 `'' a < w� � � �~ a. � 3 � Display 2 A �.Y_;�Q�'^i>i:� . : 'Q � :: `wl ' �;G_:: i �' Y �5: :'� : �:5 i . ;'-EN , :a`��T ' _�fr>;: ... { Display 5 �1 { S� � e _M �s � �� vs�x � � Display 6 Dispiay 7 � � iCustomer � �__�' v t�. � Custome � �— �I Customer X 7 c=� � Customer rr � � � G � Q Display 8 0 � � Display 9 �„ � A 38` Alley > > � .� Q �111N � K � ti f . a a4 � O � � � �i � � � � � � S E W N ��/� � �^ i"� � H � W � � � � � � 0 � � � '7U � �- ��5 � Letter of Sntent This letter of intent is entered into between Marv Sayre and Peter iobinsky for purposes of se2ling 672 Azcade Street, St. Paul, (the Property) Mir.nesota owned by Sayre_ Sayre intends to sell and Lobinsky intends to purchase the Prone=ty on the following terms and conditions: 1.

The proposed use would be detrimenta] to ihe existing character of surrounding residential deveIopment and would endanger the generat public welfare.

The site is too small to provide ihese setbacks and accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale.

Peter has a 23 year old daughter and 21 year old son. Automobile financing has been Peter's profession for 15 years, most recently with LB Sales. Business Name: Auto Acceptance Location: 672 Arcade Street Parcel Size: 123' of frontage on Arcade Street and 39.41 of frontage on Margaret. Office Building is 325 square feet, leaving a 4595 square foot lot for parking automobiles.

Cars wili not be repaired on the lot. H istorv Tfie site was at one time used as a gas station. Untii the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commerciai building on the north part of the lot. The foilowing is a chronology of recent approvals: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking lot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residentiai property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car saies for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site). �982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � 9 �-/�� , 1983 Special condition use permit for used car sales approved with 10 conditions inciuding limit of 16 cars for sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-foot visuai screen on east property line. 1987 Site plan approved for used car sales; requires a screening fence along east property line and bol4ards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988 Speciai condition use permit appiication filed and then withdrawn for trai(er sales. 7989 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolution indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992 Staff recommended approval of the special condition use permit for used car sales with nine conditions. The pianning commission denied the permit. 1995 Special Condition Use Permit for used car sa{es was approved by the Pianning Commission. The District 4 Council appealed the Planning Commission's decision to the City Council, which denied the permit. � Zonina Section 60.544 (2) permits outdoor sales space for exclusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobi(es, all subject to the following: a. The lot or area shali be provided with a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and shail be graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. b. Vehicular access to the outdoor sales area shall be at least sixty (60) feet from the intersection of any two (2} streets. c. No repair or refinishing shall be done on the lot uniess conducted within a complete{y enclosed building. d. The minimum !ot area shall be f+fteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site pian shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking. Section 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission • shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial 3 � 7 /�9 • compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Pian and any appiicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. The use wiil provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize fraffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wil� not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and generat welfare. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the appficable regulations of the district in which it is located. ro osal The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustless surtace, and is graded and drained as to dispose of ail surtace water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)l• � The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing wili be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of tra�c. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The use wili not impede the normal and orderiy development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)]. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use whicfi is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare. Denial The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: the extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paui Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. u � q � ��y � Sec. 64.300 {d) (e), which states: the use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Sec. 60.544 (2)(d) which requires: The minimum lot area shal! be fifteen thousand {15,000) square feet. A site plan shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking, Sec. 60.300 (d)(a) which requires: The extent, location and intensity of fhe use will be in substantiai compiiance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicabie subarea pians which were approved by the city council, Sec. 64.300 (d)(cj which requi�es: The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of the developmen4 in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general weifare, and Sec. 68.300 (d)(e) which requires: The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the � district in which it is located. Most of the above sections cited for reasons for denial deal with bufFering the commercial use from fhe residential areas, specifically the use of set backs and landscaping requirements. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, application of the 4 and 6 foot setbacks, the required landscaping between public rights of way, the 10 foot setback from the residentiaf area and the parking space requirements limit the commercial use of the property to a car lot. The city of St. Paul reaiized the hardship in the 1970's and 1980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and wouid deny any reasonable use in the current zoning ciassification. Application of the newly enacted minimum 15,000 square foot requirement ordinance creates a hardship to the applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historically been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasibie commercial use. Adapting the praperiy to another commercia{ use would require expanding the existing building, which wouid violate one of the setback requirements. Denying tfie variance to the 15,000 square foot requirement would restrict the commerciai uses and establish a taking of the property. Conclusion The applicant has a solid business pian for the property, which wiii be an asset to the � community. The applicant needs both a specia4 condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses. � 9� �� Letcer of Intent This letter of intent is entered into between Marv Sayre and Peter Lobinsky for purposes of selling 672 Arcade Street, St. Paul, (the Property) Minnesota owned by Sayre.

To allow outdoor sales of • r1 LJ Kady Dadlez, Planning Division staff, reviewed the sCaff report and presented slides. Staff recommended denial of the special condition use permit based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e of the staff report. The Dayton's Bluff Center for Civic Life voted to oppose the special condition use permit application. One letter of support was received from Hud & Rl's Brake Service, 695 Arcade Street. A petition of support was also submitted by the applicant. Commi�sioner Field asked what the staff recommendation had been regarding the 1995 request for a special condition use permit for a used car lot £or this property. Ms. Dadlez responded that sta£f had recommended denial in 1995. Commissioner Kramer reviewed that since the 1995 case that a minimum lot size requirement of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles had been established by the planning commission. Eric Thole, Attornay with Clinton & Taylor P.A „ 8750 90th St. South, spoke representing the applicant, who was also present. Mr. Thole stated that Mr, Lobinsky was in the pxocess of purchasing the property, with the outcome dependent upon the SCUP. Mr. Thole reviewed that the proposal is for Auto Acceptance, a used car lot that would include financing through a franchise agreement set up with Credit Acceptance Corporation, with a representative located on-site. A majority of the business would be done by computers and over the phone and customers with credit problems would be targeted, and he said it would not be operated as a standard used car lot which would generate a lot of customer traffic on the lot. Mr. Thole reported that repairs have been done to bring the site up to code and that a certificate of occupancy has been issued. The applicant intends to paint the facility, landscape the site, and do general clean-up. No auto repair would be done on-site and all off-street parking could be supported on the site. Mr. Thole referenced materials provided commissioners by the applicant containing a site plan as well as a list of neighbors and businesses that support the proposal. Zn reviewing staff's report he addressed a£ew issues. d2 �� • would not have nearly the problem with the application if the square footage were significantly closer to the 15,000 square feet required. Commissioner Vaught disagreed that the property could only be used as a used car lot. He reviewed that it is zoned B-3 and there are any number of uses which are allowed in a B-3 zone. He said he was a concerned about the rhetoric that there is no other reasonable economic use for the property, saying that it would not be true simply because the client seeks to put a used car lot at the location, but that isn't evidence enou:-t� to mandate that conclusion. Commissioner Vaught referenced the applicant's letter of intent noting that it was contingent upon the SCUP being granted. He established that there isn't any chance of the taking of the property with respect to the applicant if the permit is not approved as the applicant has the ability to back out of the deal. Commissioner Gurney noted Mr. Thole's statement that the property had a long history of being a car lot, although he said that in the 20 year period documented as history that it apparently amounted to a very short amount of time because there were frequent requests for new SCUPS. Gurney asked if the applicant could provide the actual amount of time it was operated as a used car lot. Mr. Thole could not provide that information, however said it was indeed used as a used car lot. Steve Asmus, 871 Margaret Street, spoke on behalf of the 800 Margaret Street Block Club, in opposition. Mr. Asmus confirmed that the lot has been used for car sales from time to time and said the neighborhood had nothing but problems from cars for sale being parked in the street. He said in between the SCUPs thac old used car parts and junk cars have been stored on tfie lot. Mr. Asmus • explained thaC the main reason for neighbors' signatures on the petition of support was that they wished to see the site cleaned up and a business located there, but that they do not wish to see a used car lot. He suggested the site would be appropriate for insurance or credit company purposes. Commissioner Vaught advised that if the neighborhood desired to see the property not be used as a used car lot that they consider doing a study that might lead to a rezoning other than B-3, as used car lots are an allowable use with a special condition use permiC in a S-3 zone, however the minimum square footag_ is the issue in this case. He also suggested that the neighbors might contact the owner or the applicant to attempt to devise a plan that might work £or all. Mr. Asmus responded that the neighborhood has submitted suggestions to the owner of the property as well as have sent potential renters to him. FIe said that much of the neighborhood's opposition to the proposal is that they do not believe the lot size is large enough to handle that type of business. Greg Auge, spoke in opposition on behalf of the Dayton's Bluff Community Council. He reported that Mr. Lobinsky presented his proposal to the Land Use Committee which then voted to oppose the SCUP and that subsequently the board voted for denial as well. He further stated that the board has been consistent in its opposition o£ a used car lot at this location. Harvey Asmus, 860 Margaret, spoke in opposition. Mr. Asmus expressed concern that parking is already a problem on the street due to a number of multi- family dwelling units in the neighborhood and said that much overflow parking goes into the street. He also mentioned traffic safety to be an issue due to obstruction o£ traffic from Margaret on to Arcade Street. Mr. Asmus said the proposal doesn't meet the neighborhood plan, that others have offered to purchase the property as well as to rent the property, with t•Sr. Asmus claiming • that the owner appears to have a preference for a used car lot. 3 � 9� ��j • Commissioner Field said he would support the motion because the 15,000 square foot lot area requirement is clearly not met. He said in the past it was argued that a small lot of this size was not economically viable. He didn't believe it was the commissioners' purpose to determine economic viability. The motion carried on a voice vote of 7 to 0. Drafted by: �°-"�� bonna Sanders • u Submit ed by� Appr ved by: 1. I ��/�� - ��, �,.

A neighbor spoke in opposition because previous conditions were not met. 1984: Field investigation by staff indicated several conditions not met including excess number of cars on lot, Margaret driveway kept open, no landscaping, and it appeared cars for sale parked in street. 1987: Site plan approved for used car sales; requires screening fence along east property line and bollards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988: Special condition use permit application for trailer sales was filed and then withdrawn. 1959: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolution indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992: Special condition use permit for used car sales was denied by the planning commission. The applicant appealed to the city council which upheld the planning commission's decision. Staff had recommended approval of the permit with nine conditions as did the zoning committee. C J . C � In 1992 when the planning commission denied the special condition use permit to allow the sales of used cars, the basis of that decision was that the use did not conform to the required findings o£ 64.300(d). First, that the use would be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the area: on-street parking, theft and vandalism, and an 8-foot chain link fence would detract from nearby residential uses and recent improvements. Second, that the use does nat conform to the applicable regulations of the district in that the site does not provide the £our-foot setbacks with landscaping between public rights-of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. Finally, the planning commission denial cited the policy statement in the 23ear East Side Improvement Strategy recommending that land uses which are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots) be phased-out. The city council's resolution affirming the planning commission's decision cited the same findings. 1995: Special condition use permit for a used car lot was approved by the planning commission. Permit allowed 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The District 4 Council appealed the planning commission's decision to the city council. The city council granted the appeal of the District Council and denied the special condition use permit. In 1995 when the planning commission approved the special condition use permit to allow the outdoor sales of automobiles it found that all of the conditions of the permit were met and approved the permit to allow 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The city council's resolution overturning the planning commission's decision and denying the permit cited the � I g7 l� Zoning File #96-247 • Page Six conditions, when strict application of such special conditions would ��n reasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of property or an existing structure and would result in exceptional tin due hardship to the owner of such property or structure; provided, tfiat such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfare of the community and is consistent with reasonable enjoyment of adjacent property. STAFF RECOL4+�NDATION: Based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e staff recommends denial of the special condition use permit. `J • �Z 9� i�� • September 6, 1996 Mr. Ken Ford Plannin� Administrator City of Saint Paul 25 W.

Peter has a 23 year old daughter and 21 year old son. Automobile financing has been Peter's profession for 15 years, most recently with LB Sales. Business Name: Auto Acceptance ' Location: 672 Arcade Street Parcel Size: 123' of frontage on Arcade Street and 39.41 of frontage on Margaret. Office Building is 325 square feet, leaving a 4595 square foot lot for parking automobiles. Purpose: Sell previously owned automobiles to people who need to establish credit. Employees. One full-time and one part-time. Hours: Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Saturdays 9:00 a.m -5:00 p.m. Renovations: Exterior painting to the office building, landscaping, repairing and painting the fence along the eastern property line. Plant 3 Bou�evard trees, fix the existing Pyfon sign, and general c4ean up. Other Tenants: Cathy Buschman, Independent Insurance Agent. Practices: Cars will not be parked on the street. Cars will not be repaired on the lot, except for changing flat tires and jump starts. Histo The site was at one time used as a gas station. Until the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commercial building on the north part of the lot. The following is a chronology of recent approvals: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking lot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residential property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site). 1982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � 97_ �� Z�� qb�utl • Section 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any appiicabie subarea plans which were approved by the city council. b. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wili not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. d. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. • Previous Ap�lication The following were found by the zoning committee at their December 7, 1995 hearing: The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)1 The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991) [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The proposed use is a relative�y low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot wiil not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare.

Cars will nof be repaired on the iot. Histo The site was at one time used as a gas station. Until the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commercial building on the north part of the lot. 7he following is a chronology of recent approvais: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking fot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback befween B-3 uses and the adjoining residential property. 1989 Special condition use permit approved for used car safes for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site). � 1982 License was issued for used car sa(es for four cars. � 9 � ��y • 1983 Speciai condition use permif for used car sales approved with 10 conditions including limit of 16 cars for sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-foot visual screen on east property line. 1987 Site plan approved for used car sales; requires a screening fence along east property line and bollards with chain to contain cars on site. � • 1988 Special condifion use permit appiication filed and then withdrawn for irailer sales. 1989 Speciai condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolufion indicates 14 car limit inciuding parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992 Staff recommended approval of the speciai condition use permit for used car sales with nine conditions. The planning commission denied the permit. 1995 Special Condition Use Permit for used car sales was approved by the Planning Commission. The District 4 Council appealed the Planning Commission's decision to tne City Council, which denied the permit. Zonina Section 60.544 (2) permits outdoor sales space for exclusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobiies, all subject to the following: a. The lot or area shall be provided with a permanent, durable and dustiess surface, and shall be graded and drained as to dispose of ali surface water accumulated within the area. � c. Vehicular access to the outdoor sales area shall be at least sixty (60) feet from the intersection of any two (2) s#reets. No repair or refinishing shali be done on the lot uniess conducted within a completely enclosed building. d. The minimum lot area shali be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking. Sect+on 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial � � �-�� , compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. b. The use wiil provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize trafific congestion in the public streets. c. The use wili nof be defrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public heaith, safety and general welfare. d. The use wiil not impe�e the normai and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permiited in the district. e. The use shail, in ail other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Proposal The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustiess surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surFace water accumulafed within the area. (Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)1• � The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing wiil be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 {2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of tra�c. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding properry for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)]. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot wiil not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the pubiic safety and general welfare. Denial The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: the extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicab/e subarea plans which were approved by the city council. • � 9�-/�� Sec. 64.300 (d) (e), which stafes: the use shall, in all otherrespects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Sec. 60.544 (2)(d) which requires: The minimum lot area shall be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan shal( be submitted showing the layout of the vehicies for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking, Sec. 60.300 (d)(a) which requires: The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea pians which were approved by the city council, Sec. 64.300 (d)(c) which requires: The use wiil not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the pubiic hsalth, safety and general welfare, and Sec. 68.300 {d)(e) which requires: The use shall, in ali other respects, conform to ihe applicabie regulations of the � district in which it is located. Most of the above secYions cited for reasons for denial deal with buffering the commercial use from the residential areas, specifically the use of set backs and landscaping requirements. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, application of the 4 and 6 foot setbacks, the required landscaping between public rights of way, the 10 foot setback from the residential area and fhe parking space requirements limit the commercial use of the property to a car lot. The city of St. Paui realized the hardship in the 1970's and 1980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and wouid deny any reasonable use in the current zoning classification. Application of fhe newly enacted minimum 15,000 square foot requirement ordinance creates a hardship to the applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historically been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasibie commercial use. Adapting the property to another commerciai use wouid require expanding the existing building, which would violate one of the setback requirements. Denying the variance to the 15,000 square foot requirement wou(d restrict the commerciai uses and establish a taking of the property. Conclusion The applicant has a solid business plan for the property, which will be an asset to the . community. The applicant needs both a special condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses.

ABSENT; Chavez, excused Time: 3:32 - 4:30 p.m. The meeting was chaired by Gladys Morton, Chairperson. es. To allow outdoor sales of Kady Dadlez, Planning Division staff, reviewed the staff report and presented slides. Staff recommended denial of the special condition use permit based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e of the staff report. The Dayton's B1uff Center for Civic Li£e voted to oppose the special condition use permit application. One letter of support was received from Bud & A1's Brake Service, 695 Azcade Street. A peCition of support was also submitted by the applicant. Commissioner Field asked whaC the staff recommendation had been regarding the 1995 request for a special condition use permit for a used car 1ot for this property. Ms. Dadlez responded that staff had recommended denial in 1995. Commissioner Kramer xeviewed that since Che 1995 case that a minimum lot size requirement of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles had been established by the planning commission. Eric Thole, Attorney with Clinton & Taylor P.A., 8750 90th St. South, spoke representing the applicant, who was also present. Mr. Thole stated that Mr. Lobinsky was in Che process o£ purchasing the property, with the outcome dependent upon the SCUP. Mr. Tho1e reviewed that the proposal is for Auto Acceptance, a used car lot that would include financing through a franchise agreement set up with Credit Acceptance Corporation, with a representative located on-site. A majority of the business would be done by computers and over the phone and customers with credit problems would be targeted, and he said it would not be operated as a standard used car lot which would generate a lot of customer traffic on the lot. Mr. Thole reported that repairs have been done to bring the site up to code and Chat a certificate of occupancy has been issued. The applicant intends to paint the facility, landscape the site, and do general clean-up. No auto repair would be done on-site and a11 off-street parking could be sugported on the site. Mr. Thole referenced materials provided commissioners by the applicant containing a site plan as well as a list of neighbors and businesses that support the proposal. In reviewing staff's report he addressed a few issues. �Z �-�-�� He noted that the applicant has met a majority of the general conditions which apply to special condition use permits and reviewed the conditions which were not met. 3a. with respect to: non-comp2iaace with the neighborhood plan. He suggested finding 3a to be somewhat ambiguous as it first states that it has to meet the setbacks and that it asks for a phasing out of commercial uses that are incompatible with adjacent residential uses, which he felt the staff report states that it is not going to be detrimental to the neighborhood character. 3e. with respect to: not meeting the required setbacks. Mr. Thole reviewed the site plan and said he was unable to envision any other viable commercial use of the property, given its configuration wiCh the small building and long piece of property. 3d. with respect to: the minimum lot area of fifteen thousand 115,000) square feet. hir. Thole suggested that if the committee strictly enforces the 15,OD0 square feet provision, given the property's Zong history of being used for such a use, that it pretty much denies any use of the property. Mr. Thole concluded that when all of the requirements for a used car lot are applied to this property that it eliminates any viable use. He suggested it would be best that Lhe property be used, cleaned up and that the proposal be approved. Commissioner Kramer asked whether Mr. Tho1e knew if the existing building on the property could be replaced. Mr. 2ho1e respor.ded that in the case of rebui2ding that a 2o foot setback wou2d have to be met which would result in the inability to meet other conditions, which would prohibit building on the site. Commissioner Kramer asked if the independent insurance agent could locate in the existing building alone, Mr. Thole responded that such a use would be possible but he did not see as a viable business use, given a building of 400 square feet which makes up less than 10 percent of the total lot. Ms. Dadlez reEerenced the history/discussion in the staff report indicating that a variance was granted in 1976 allowing for a 10 foot setback along the eastern property line, and that the setback is more an issue along Margaret and Arcade Street. Commissioner Kramer asked what might be rebuilt on the site if the existing building were torn down. Mr. Warner responded that circumstances would change if the building were to come down, but that presently with the variance granted in 1976 for a SO foot setback, that it a2lows the bui2ding to be used as it exists, and also allows the parking spaces adjacent to the wood fence. Commissioner Vaught reviewed that whether or not the 15,000 square foot requirement was newly enacted or not that it is law. When commissioners look at variances and setbacks it is not enough to judge an application positively that an applicant meets the majority of the requirements, and said that it is also a matter of degree to which requirements are or are not met, xe said he CJ � � J u 2 53 �' • would not have nearly the problem with the application if the square footage were signi£icantly closer to the 15,000 square £eet required. Commissioner Vaught disagreed that the property could only be used as a used car lo�. Ae reviewed that it is zoned B-3 and there are any number of uses which are allowed in a B-3 zone. He said he was a concerned about the rhetoric that there is no other reasonable economic use for the property, saying that it would not be true simply becavse the client seeks to put a used car lot at the location, but that isn't evidence enou:-h to mandate that conclusion. Commissioner Vaught referenced the applicant's letter of intent noting that it was contingent upon the SCUP being granted. He established that theze isn•t any chance of the taking of the property with respect to the applicant if the permit is not approved as the applicant has the ability to back out of the deal. Commissioner Gurney noted Mr. Thole•s statement that the property had a long history of being a car lot, although he said that in the 20 year period documented as history that it apparently amounted to a very short amount of time because there were freguent requests for new SCUPS. Gurney asked if Che agplicant could grovide the actual amount of time it was operated as a used car lot. hfr. Thole could not provide that information, however said it was indeed used as a used car lot. Steve Asmus, 871 Margaret Street, spoke on behalf of the 800 Margaret Street Block Club, in opposition. Mr, Asmus confirmed that the lot has been used for car sales from time to time and said the neighborhood had nothing but problems from cars for sale being parked in the street. He said in between the SCUPs that o1d used car parts and junk cars have 6een stored on the lot. Mr. Asmus � explained that the main reason for neighbors' signatures on the petition of support was that they wished to see the cite cleaned up and a business located theze, but that they do not wish to see a used car lot. He suggested the site would be appropr�ate for insurance or credit company purposes. Commissioner Vaught advised that if the neighborhood desired to see the property not be used as a used car lot that they consider doing a study that might lead to a rezoning other than B-3, as used car lots are an allowable use with a special condition use permit in a B-3 zone, however the minimum square footage is the issue in this case. Fie also suggested that the neighbors might contact the owner or the applicant to attempt to devise a plan that might work £or all. Mr. Asmus responded that Che neighborhood has submitted suggestions to the owner of the property as well as have sent potential renters to him. He said that much of the neighborhood's opposition to the proposal is that they do not believe the lot size is large enough to handle that type of business. Greg Auge, spoke in opposition on behalf of the Dayton�s Hluff CommuniCy Council. Iie reporCed that Mr. Lobinsky presented his proposal to the Land Use Committee which then voted to oppose the SCUP and that subsequently the board voted for denial as well. He further stated that the boaYd has been consistent in its opposition of a used car lot at this location. Harvey Asmus, 860 Margaret, spoke in opposition. Mr. Asmus expressed concern that parking is already a problem on the street due to a number of multi- family dwelling units in the neighborhood and said that much overflow parking goes into the street. Ae also mentioned traffic safety to be an issue due to obstruction of traffic £rom Margaret on to Azcade Street. Mr. Asmus said the proposal doesn't meet the neighborhood p1an, that others have o£fered to purchase the property as well as to rent the property, with t9r. Asmus claiming � that the owner appears to have a preference for a used car lot. 3 �* ..�"l� ��-�� Bertha Asmus, 860 b7argaret, spoke in opposiCion. Nts. Asmus reiterated that � interest has been shown in the property for other uses and noted a realty company and a small newspaper that were turned down by the owner. She advised that perhaps a coffee drive-thru might be an appropriate use and said that she and others in the neighborhood are interested in seeing a business other than the used car lot occupy the site. Ms. Asmus spoke of concerns regarding on-street parking, and traffic generated and related child safety. She suggested that a petition in opposition o£ a used car Zo[ at the site in the past currently stands and .that the neighborhood is working towards, and has been making great strides in, improving their neighborhood. Mr. Pho1e spoke in rebuttle. In response to alternative uses of the property he suggested that the free market will dictate a use's viability. Mr. Thole briefly reviewed the applicant's proposal reiterating that this used car lot would be unique as it targets its customers and most of the work would be done over the phone and by computer. He noted that the off-street parking requirements are met and that he did not foresee on-street parking to be a problem. Mr. Thole disagreed that the owner is being selective as to the purchaser of the property and sai@ that the owner is seriously attempting to sell the property. Commissioner Gurney noted the testimony that the majozity of the business would be done by computer and telephone, yet in the letter circulated to the neighbors for support of the proposal states that the applicant hopes to capitalize on the existing trafEic, in contrast to just computer and telephone generated business, as stated. Mr. Thole responded that incidental benefits that might be generated as a result of the location would be beneficia2, however would not be the specific targeted cZiente2e. � The public hearing was closed. Commisaioner Kramer recommended denial of the special condition uee permit based on findinga 2d, 3a, 3c and 3e, noting that he dieagreed with ata£f and found that condition 3c was not met. Commissioner Xzamer said that condition 3c relates to the proximity of the car lot to the residentiaZ neighborhood, and that testimony was received relating to its detrimental impact. He said that the shortage of off-street parking spaces will result in customers parking on Margaret Street, which he noted as ane of the city council's previously identified reasons for denial, and TCramer said this would be exacerbated by additional tenants renting space in the building. Commisaioner Guzney aeconded the motion. Commissioner Vaught said issues relative to traffic and parking don't hold much impect for him when the street carries 6,700 cars, and he questioned the potential effect the traffic generated by the used car lot could have. Ae also said that he doesn't conclude that the statutorily correct number of o£f- street parking spaces will in fact, not lead to those spaces being used for the purpose that they are there £or and lead to parking on Margaret. Commissioner Vaught didn't agree with the findings regarding condition 3c. vaught sai@ he would support the motion due to the 15,000 square foot requirement, stating that the proposal is clear2y deficient. Commissianer Kramer noted two things supporting finding 3c: the testimony of the area resident regarding the direction of traffic on Sixth Street and that Margaret Street as a result of that restriction will be used to test drive cars; and the Near East Side Improvement Strategy that identifies all auto- � related uses as incompatible with adjacent residential uses. �S ��-��y � Commissioner Field said he would support the motion because the 15,000 square £oot lot area requirement is clearly not met. He said in the past it was argued that a small lot of this size was not economically viable. FIe didn't believe it was Che commissioners' purpose to determine economic viability. The motion carried an a voice vote of 7 to 0.

PARCBL SIZF: The property has 123 feet of frontage on Arcade Street and 39.41 feet of frontage on Margaret for a total. Iot area of 4,847 square feet. Including one-half of the alley, the lot area is 5,241 square � feet. c. SxisT2NG LAND IISE: The site is vacant except for a small building and paved surface. D.

East: One and two-£amily uses in an RT-1 zoning district_ South: One and two-family uses in an RT-1 zoning district. West: Clinic, grocery store, drug store, and other commercial and residential uses in a B-3 zoning district. E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Sections 60.544(2) and 64.300(d1 of the zoning code permit outdoor sales of used automobiles subject to the conditions detailed in findings #2 and #3 of this report. F. H25TORY/DISCIISSION: The site was used at one Lime as a gas station. The building on the site appears to date from that use. Until the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commercial building on the north part oP the lot. Following is a chronology of recent activities: 1976: The board of zoning appeals approved three variances €or a I2 car parking lot. The one variance zelevant to the use now proposed was a variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between 8-3 uses and residential properties. 19s1: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site) with several conditions including no certificate of occupancy until conditions are met and Iimit of four cars. Use apparently was never established. . Underground gas tanks were removed in 1981. 57 97-��1 � Zoning File #96-247 Page 7tvo 1982: License issued for used car sales for four cars. 1983: Special condition use permit £or useci car sales approved with 10 conditions including limit o£ 15 cars £or sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-£oot visual screen on east property line. A neighbor spoke in opposition because previous conditions were not met. 1984: Field investigation by staff indicated several conditions not met including excess number of cars on lot, Margaret driveway kept open, no landscaping, and it appeared cars for sale parked in street. 1987: Site plan approved for used car sales; requires screening fence along east property line and bollards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988: Special condition use permit application for trailer sales was filed and then withdrawn. 1989: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resoluCion indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992: 5pecial condition use permit for used car sales was denied by the planning commission. The applicant appealed to the city council which upheld the planning commission's decision. Staff had recommended approval of the permit with nine conditions as did the zoning committee. � In 1992 when the planning commission denied the special condition use permit to allow the sales of used cars, the basis o£ that decision was that the use did not conform to the required findings of 64.300id). First, that the use would be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the area: on-street parking, theft and vandalism, and an 8-foot chain link fence would detract from nearby residential uses and recent improvements. Second, that the use does not conform to the applicable regulations of the district in that the site does not provide the four-foot setbacks with landscaping between public rights-of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. Finally, the planning commission denial cited tlze policy statement in the Near EasC Side Improvement Strategy recommending that land uses which are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots) be phased-out. The city council's resolution affirming the planning commission�s decision cited the same findings. 1995: Special condition use germit for a used car lot was apgroved by the planning commission. Permit allowed 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The Distzict 4 Council appealed the planning commission`s decision to the city council. The city council granted the appeal of the District Council and denied the special condition use permit. In 1995 when the planning commission approved the special condition use permit to allow the outdoor sales of automohiles it found that all of the conditions of the permit were met and approved the permit to allow 7 cars for sale and 4 ofE-street � parking spaaes. The city council's resoluCion over[.urning the planning commission's decision and denying the permit cited the � ��-«� Zoning File #96-247 Page Three small lot size, the policy statement from the Near East Side Improvement Strategy, and the detrimental impact to the existing character of development in the immediate neighborhood. Finally, for your information, the following is the staff analysis which accompanied the staff report for the special condition use permit requested in 1995. STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed site, 4,847 square feet, is too small to accommodate a used car lot and the required setbacks, screening, and landscaping (the minimum lot size for a single £amily home is greater at S,Q00 square feet). Planning staff has seen similar problems in other areas o£ the city where used car lots are squeezed onto scaall sites. Placing conditions on permits to Iimit the number of cars on a lot and require off-street parking does not guarantee that the conditions will be met. Violations of these conditions occur regularly as evidenced by enforcement actions in the Office of License, Inspections, and Environmental Protection. Staff has talked about this issue and believes that establishing a minimum lot size for used car lots is an idea for the planning commission to consider in a future minor zoning amendment. In May, 1996, the planning commission recommended approval of, and the city council adopted, an amendment to require a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles. G. DISTRICT COIINCIL R&COb4dHNDATION: The Dayton'S Bluff Center £or Civic Life voted to oppose tke special condition use permit application f H. FINDINGS• � The app7_icant has a contract to purchase the property and intends to sell previously owned automobiles to people who need to establish credit. The hours of operation will be 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays; tkere will be one full time employee and one part time employee. In addition to a general clean up of the site, the applicant intends to paint the exterior of the building, repair the existing fence along the eastern property line, repair the existing pylon sign, and plant three boulevard trees. The applicant adds that there will be a tenant, an independent insurance agent, in the office building, along with the car sales office. Section 60.544(2J permits outdoor sales space for exclusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobiles, all subject to the following: The lot or area sba21 be provided with a permanent, dnrab3e and dustZess surface, aad shall be graded aad draiaed as to dispose of aS1 surface water acaumulated within tke area. This condition is met. The site is adequately paved and drained. b. Vehicular access to the outdoor sales area shall be at least sixty (60) feet from the iutersection of any two !2) streets. This condition is met. The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with arcade Street. No repair or refiaishfng shall be doae oa the lot ualess conducted within a complete3y enclosed building. �iiJ 9 �-�� • Zoning File #96-247 Page Four This condition is met. The applicant states that no major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot, except for changing £lat tires and jump starts. Aowever, sta£f advised the applicant that no repair or refinishing of any kind can be done unless the activity takes place within a completely enclosed building. The applicant undersCands and accepts this condition and adds that he has other facilities for repairs and re£inishing. d. The minimvm lot area shall be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan sha11 be submitted ahowing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, aad customer parking. This condition is not met. The site has a lot area of 5,242 square feet, including one-half of the alley. This is 9,758 square feet less than required. The applicant requests a modi£ication of this condition stating that this minimum lot size requirement creates a hardship. Ae states that historically the property has been used for auto sales, which is the property�s only feasible commercial use. He adds that denying the modification would restrict the commercial uses and establish a taking of the property. StafP does not recommend that this condition be modified since such a modification would not be in keeping with the intent and purpose of the special condition. In fact, the staff analysis in the previous special condition use permit request for this property raised the issue of the inappropriateness of particularly sma11 sites being used for car sales. � 3. Section 64.300(d) of the zoning code requires that before trie planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special � conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, Iocatioa and intensity of the use will be in substantiaZ compliance mith the Saint Pau2 Comprehensive Plaa aad any applicable subarea plaas which weze approved by the city couneil. This condition is not met. One of the land use and zoning goals of the District 4 Plan states, "to promote better buffering between residential, commercial, and industrial land uses on and around East 7th Street,..." p. 13. The District 4 land use�policy states that the district council will support development of new or redevelopment of existing structures in industrial or commercial areas only when accompanied by parking provisions as established in the zoning code and by proper landscaping. The applicant is able to provide the required o£f-street parking but there is not adequate space on the lot to provide the required setback and landscaping and still accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. The Near East Side Improvement Strategy (N25) completed in 1989 contains a set of strategies to address the issues of housing, economic development, neighborhood image, transportation, parks and recreation, land use and zoning, and education. The most relevant part of the document to the proposed use is the goals for economic development. These goals include: 1) "concentrate commercial land uses along existing commercial spines and at existing commercial nodes; 2) improve and maintain the vitality and appearance of commercial establishments; 3) phase out . m r- ��- [S�t Zoning File #96-247 Page Five commercial uses that are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots)." (p. 23, goals 1, 8, and 9) The NIS was accepted as a policy statement by the planning commission and the city council but was not adopted as part of the city's comprehensive plan. b. The use mill provide adequate tagress aad egress to miaimize traffic congestioa .in the public streets. This condition is met. The proposed use is not expected to generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). On-street parking is permitted on the east side of Arcade Street except from 4:00 p.m. to 6:D0 p.m.. On-street parking on the west side of Arcade between Seventh & Margaret is limited to 15 minutes from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. c. The use wi31 not be detrimeatal to the existiag character of tbe deveSo�eat in the ia�ediate neighborhood or eadanger the public hea2th, safety and geaeral welfare. C� This condition is met. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be deLrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare. � However, theft of and vandalism to vehicles parked on Margaret Street was identified as a problem when used cars have been sold from the subject site in the past. d. The use wiS1 not impede tke normal and orderZy develo�ent and improvemeat of the surrouadiag property for uses permitted ia the district. This condition is met. e. The use shall, in all otfier respects, conform to the applicable regulatioas of the district in whick it is located. This condition is not met. The site plan submitted does not provide the required setbacks with landscaping between public rights of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and sti17. accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. In addition, while Section 6I.I03(b) requires side and rear yards of at least ten feet when a business district adjoins a side yard in an adjacent residential district, the board of zoning appeals granted a variance of this requirement for this property in 1976. 4. The off-street parking requirement for used car sales is one space per 400 square feet of office space and one parking space per 2,000 square feet of outdoor display area. The requirement for the proposed use is three spaces (one for the office space and two for the outdoor display area). The site plan indicates four off-street parking spaces. 5. Section 64.300(f): of the zoning code states, "The planning commission, after public hearing, may modify any or a12 special P� 9��i�� • Zoning File #96-247 Page Six conditions, when strict application of such special condiCions would unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of property or an existing structure and would result in exceptional undue hardship to the owner of such property or structure; provided, that such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfare of the community and is consistent wi[.h reasonable enjoyment of adjacent property.

The following is a chronology of recent approvals: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking lot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residential property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street {south part of the site). 1982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � ��-l ��a�� a�' 241 � 1983 Special condition use permit for used car sales approved with 10 * conditions including limit of 16 cars for sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-foot visual screen on east property line. 1987 Site plan approved for used car sales; requires a screening fence along east property line and boliards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988 Special condition use permit application filed and then withdrawn for trailer sales. 1989 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales.

The zoning committee's decision was overturned by the ptanning commission, which sef various conditions on the approval. The applicant appealed placement of the condition to the city council. The city � council ruled against the applicant. Zonin Section 60.544 (2) permits outdoor sales space for exciusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobiles, all subject to the following: a. The lot or area shall be provided with a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and shal! be graded and drained as to dispose of at! surface water accumulated within the area. b.

A site plan shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, empioyee parking, and customer parking. � 6? �� Z�'�� Section 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the pianning commission may grant approvaf of a principai use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any appiicable subarea plans which were approved by the city counci�. b. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wil! not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. d. 7he use wilf not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. 7he use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. � Previous Application The following were found by the zoning committee at their December 7, 1995 hearing: The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustfess surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 {2) (a)] The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 fieet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)). The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991) (Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The proposed use is a relative(y low intensity commerciaf use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be detrimental to the character of the ne+ghborhood or endanger the public safety and general we4fare. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (c)]. � The use wifl not impede the normaf and orderfy development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)}. i ��-i�� Z��f�� ,� �b�2q � Denial ^ The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: fhe exfent, locabon and intensity of fhe use wrll be in subsfantial compliance wrth the Sainf Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by fhe cify council. and Sec. 64.300 (d) (e), which states: the use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is locafed. The explanation given for each application of the above section deals with buffering the commerciai use from the residential areas, specificaily the use of set backs and landscaping requiremenTs. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, the 4 and 6 foot setbacks with landscaping between public righfs of way and the parking lot"would eliminate any possible commercia! use of the property. The land is zoned commercial and strict application of the zoning code on the property results in undue hardship. The city of St. Paul realized the hardship in the 1970's and 9980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and would deny any reasonabfe use in the current zoning ciassification. Variance Section 60.544 (2)(d), which requires auto sales businesses to have a minimum lot area of fifteen thousand square feet, was added to the zoning code after the 1995 special condition use permit for the property was denied by city council. Application of the newly enacted ordinance creates a hardship to fhe applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historica!!y been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasible commercial use. Denying the variance would restrict the commercial uses and establish a taking of the property. Conciusion The applicant has a solid business plan for the property, which will be an asset to the community. The applicant needs both a special condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses. � � Li1 Nlarg Street Grass o = Sidewalk a,� `a �fi Display 1 `'' a < w� � � �~ a. � 3 � Display 2 A �.Y_;�Q�'^i>i:� . : 'Q � :: `wl ' �;G_:: i �' Y �5: :'� : �:5 i . ;'-EN , :a`��T ' _�fr>;: ... { Display 5 �1 { S� � e _M �s � �� vs�x � � Display 6 Dispiay 7 � � iCustomer � �__�' v t�. � Custome � �— �I Customer X 7 c=� � Customer rr � � � G � Q Display 8 0 � � Display 9 �„ � A 38` Alley > > � .� Q �111N � K � ti f . a a4 � O � � � �i � � � � � � S E W N ��/� � �^ i"� � H � W � � � � � � 0 � � � '7U � �- ��5 � Letter of Sntent This letter of intent is entered into between Marv Sayre and Peter iobinsky for purposes of se2ling 672 Azcade Street, St. Paul, (the Property) Mir.nesota owned by Sayre_ Sayre intends to sell and Lobinsky intends to purchase the Prone=ty on the following terms and conditions: 1.

The proposed use would be detrimenta] to ihe existing character of surrounding residential deveIopment and would endanger the generat public welfare.

The site is too small to provide ihese setbacks and accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale.

Peter has a 23 year old daughter and 21 year old son. Automobile financing has been Peter's profession for 15 years, most recently with LB Sales. Business Name: Auto Acceptance Location: 672 Arcade Street Parcel Size: 123' of frontage on Arcade Street and 39.41 of frontage on Margaret. Office Building is 325 square feet, leaving a 4595 square foot lot for parking automobiles.

Cars wili not be repaired on the lot. H istorv Tfie site was at one time used as a gas station. Untii the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commerciai building on the north part of the lot. The foilowing is a chronology of recent approvals: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking lot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residentiai property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car saies for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site). �982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � 9 �-/�� , 1983 Special condition use permit for used car sales approved with 10 conditions inciuding limit of 16 cars for sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-foot visuai screen on east property line. 1987 Site plan approved for used car sales; requires a screening fence along east property line and bol4ards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988 Speciai condition use permit appiication filed and then withdrawn for trai(er sales. 7989 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolution indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992 Staff recommended approval of the special condition use permit for used car sales with nine conditions. The pianning commission denied the permit. 1995 Special Condition Use Permit for used car sa{es was approved by the Pianning Commission. The District 4 Council appealed the Planning Commission's decision to the City Council, which denied the permit. � Zonina Section 60.544 (2) permits outdoor sales space for exclusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobi(es, all subject to the following: a. The lot or area shali be provided with a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and shail be graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. b. Vehicular access to the outdoor sales area shall be at least sixty (60) feet from the intersection of any two (2} streets. c. No repair or refinishing shall be done on the lot uniess conducted within a complete{y enclosed building. d. The minimum !ot area shall be f+fteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site pian shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking. Section 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission • shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial 3 � 7 /�9 • compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Pian and any appiicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. The use wiil provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize fraffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wil� not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and generat welfare. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the appficable regulations of the district in which it is located. ro osal The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustless surtace, and is graded and drained as to dispose of ail surtace water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)l• � The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing wili be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of tra�c. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The use wili not impede the normal and orderiy development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)]. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use whicfi is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare. Denial The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: the extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paui Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. u � q � ��y � Sec. 64.300 {d) (e), which states: the use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Sec. 60.544 (2)(d) which requires: The minimum lot area shal! be fifteen thousand {15,000) square feet. A site plan shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking, Sec. 60.300 (d)(a) which requires: The extent, location and intensity of fhe use will be in substantiai compiiance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicabie subarea pians which were approved by the city council, Sec. 64.300 (d)(cj which requi�es: The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of the developmen4 in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general weifare, and Sec. 68.300 (d)(e) which requires: The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the � district in which it is located. Most of the above sections cited for reasons for denial deal with bufFering the commercial use from fhe residential areas, specifically the use of set backs and landscaping requirements. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, application of the 4 and 6 foot setbacks, the required landscaping between public rights of way, the 10 foot setback from the residentiaf area and the parking space requirements limit the commercial use of the property to a car lot. The city of St. Paul reaiized the hardship in the 1970's and 1980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and wouid deny any reasonable use in the current zoning ciassification. Application of the newly enacted minimum 15,000 square foot requirement ordinance creates a hardship to the applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historically been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasibie commercial use. Adapting the praperiy to another commercia{ use would require expanding the existing building, which wouid violate one of the setback requirements. Denying tfie variance to the 15,000 square foot requirement would restrict the commerciai uses and establish a taking of the property. Conclusion The applicant has a solid business pian for the property, which wiii be an asset to the � community. The applicant needs both a specia4 condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses. � 9� �� Letcer of Intent This letter of intent is entered into between Marv Sayre and Peter Lobinsky for purposes of selling 672 Arcade Street, St. Paul, (the Property) Minnesota owned by Sayre.

To allow outdoor sales of • r1 LJ Kady Dadlez, Planning Division staff, reviewed the sCaff report and presented slides. Staff recommended denial of the special condition use permit based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e of the staff report. The Dayton's Bluff Center for Civic Life voted to oppose the special condition use permit application. One letter of support was received from Hud & Rl's Brake Service, 695 Arcade Street. A petition of support was also submitted by the applicant. Commi�sioner Field asked what the staff recommendation had been regarding the 1995 request for a special condition use permit for a used car lot £or this property. Ms. Dadlez responded that sta£f had recommended denial in 1995. Commissioner Kramer reviewed that since the 1995 case that a minimum lot size requirement of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles had been established by the planning commission. Eric Thole, Attornay with Clinton & Taylor P.A „ 8750 90th St. South, spoke representing the applicant, who was also present. Mr. Thole stated that Mr, Lobinsky was in the pxocess of purchasing the property, with the outcome dependent upon the SCUP. Mr. Thole reviewed that the proposal is for Auto Acceptance, a used car lot that would include financing through a franchise agreement set up with Credit Acceptance Corporation, with a representative located on-site. A majority of the business would be done by computers and over the phone and customers with credit problems would be targeted, and he said it would not be operated as a standard used car lot which would generate a lot of customer traffic on the lot. Mr. Thole reported that repairs have been done to bring the site up to code and that a certificate of occupancy has been issued. The applicant intends to paint the facility, landscape the site, and do general clean-up. No auto repair would be done on-site and all off-street parking could be supported on the site. Mr. Thole referenced materials provided commissioners by the applicant containing a site plan as well as a list of neighbors and businesses that support the proposal. Zn reviewing staff's report he addressed a£ew issues. d2 �� • would not have nearly the problem with the application if the square footage were significantly closer to the 15,000 square feet required. Commissioner Vaught disagreed that the property could only be used as a used car lot. He reviewed that it is zoned B-3 and there are any number of uses which are allowed in a B-3 zone. He said he was a concerned about the rhetoric that there is no other reasonable economic use for the property, saying that it would not be true simply because the client seeks to put a used car lot at the location, but that isn't evidence enou:-t� to mandate that conclusion. Commissioner Vaught referenced the applicant's letter of intent noting that it was contingent upon the SCUP being granted. He established that there isn't any chance of the taking of the property with respect to the applicant if the permit is not approved as the applicant has the ability to back out of the deal. Commissioner Gurney noted Mr. Thole's statement that the property had a long history of being a car lot, although he said that in the 20 year period documented as history that it apparently amounted to a very short amount of time because there were frequent requests for new SCUPS. Gurney asked if the applicant could provide the actual amount of time it was operated as a used car lot. Mr. Thole could not provide that information, however said it was indeed used as a used car lot. Steve Asmus, 871 Margaret Street, spoke on behalf of the 800 Margaret Street Block Club, in opposition. Mr. Asmus confirmed that the lot has been used for car sales from time to time and said the neighborhood had nothing but problems from cars for sale being parked in the street. He said in between the SCUPs thac old used car parts and junk cars have been stored on tfie lot. Mr. Asmus • explained thaC the main reason for neighbors' signatures on the petition of support was that they wished to see the site cleaned up and a business located there, but that they do not wish to see a used car lot. He suggested the site would be appropriate for insurance or credit company purposes. Commissioner Vaught advised that if the neighborhood desired to see the property not be used as a used car lot that they consider doing a study that might lead to a rezoning other than B-3, as used car lots are an allowable use with a special condition use permiC in a S-3 zone, however the minimum square footag_ is the issue in this case. He also suggested that the neighbors might contact the owner or the applicant to attempt to devise a plan that might work £or all. Mr. Asmus responded that the neighborhood has submitted suggestions to the owner of the property as well as have sent potential renters to him. FIe said that much of the neighborhood's opposition to the proposal is that they do not believe the lot size is large enough to handle that type of business. Greg Auge, spoke in opposition on behalf of the Dayton's Bluff Community Council. He reported that Mr. Lobinsky presented his proposal to the Land Use Committee which then voted to oppose the SCUP and that subsequently the board voted for denial as well. He further stated that the board has been consistent in its opposition o£ a used car lot at this location. Harvey Asmus, 860 Margaret, spoke in opposition. Mr. Asmus expressed concern that parking is already a problem on the street due to a number of multi- family dwelling units in the neighborhood and said that much overflow parking goes into the street. He also mentioned traffic safety to be an issue due to obstruction o£ traffic from Margaret on to Arcade Street. Mr. Asmus said the proposal doesn't meet the neighborhood plan, that others have offered to purchase the property as well as to rent the property, with t•Sr. Asmus claiming • that the owner appears to have a preference for a used car lot. 3 � 9� ��j • Commissioner Field said he would support the motion because the 15,000 square foot lot area requirement is clearly not met. He said in the past it was argued that a small lot of this size was not economically viable. He didn't believe it was the commissioners' purpose to determine economic viability. The motion carried on a voice vote of 7 to 0. Drafted by: �°-"�� bonna Sanders • u Submit ed by� Appr ved by: 1. I ��/�� - ��, �,.

A neighbor spoke in opposition because previous conditions were not met. 1984: Field investigation by staff indicated several conditions not met including excess number of cars on lot, Margaret driveway kept open, no landscaping, and it appeared cars for sale parked in street. 1987: Site plan approved for used car sales; requires screening fence along east property line and bollards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988: Special condition use permit application for trailer sales was filed and then withdrawn. 1959: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolution indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992: Special condition use permit for used car sales was denied by the planning commission. The applicant appealed to the city council which upheld the planning commission's decision. Staff had recommended approval of the permit with nine conditions as did the zoning committee. C J . C � In 1992 when the planning commission denied the special condition use permit to allow the sales of used cars, the basis of that decision was that the use did not conform to the required findings o£ 64.300(d). First, that the use would be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the area: on-street parking, theft and vandalism, and an 8-foot chain link fence would detract from nearby residential uses and recent improvements. Second, that the use does nat conform to the applicable regulations of the district in that the site does not provide the £our-foot setbacks with landscaping between public rights-of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. Finally, the planning commission denial cited the policy statement in the 23ear East Side Improvement Strategy recommending that land uses which are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots) be phased-out. The city council's resolution affirming the planning commission's decision cited the same findings. 1995: Special condition use permit for a used car lot was approved by the planning commission. Permit allowed 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The District 4 Council appealed the planning commission's decision to the city council. The city council granted the appeal of the District Council and denied the special condition use permit. In 1995 when the planning commission approved the special condition use permit to allow the outdoor sales of automobiles it found that all of the conditions of the permit were met and approved the permit to allow 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The city council's resolution overturning the planning commission's decision and denying the permit cited the � I g7 l� Zoning File #96-247 • Page Six conditions, when strict application of such special conditions would ��n reasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of property or an existing structure and would result in exceptional tin due hardship to the owner of such property or structure; provided, tfiat such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfare of the community and is consistent with reasonable enjoyment of adjacent property. STAFF RECOL4+�NDATION: Based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e staff recommends denial of the special condition use permit. `J • �Z 9� i�� • September 6, 1996 Mr. Ken Ford Plannin� Administrator City of Saint Paul 25 W.

Cars will not be repaired on the lot, except for changing flat tires and jump starts. Histo The site was at one time used as a gas station. Until the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commercial building on the north part of the lot. The following is a chronology of recent approvals: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking lot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residential property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site). 1982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � 97_ �� Z�� qb�utl • Section 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any appiicabie subarea plans which were approved by the city council. b. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wili not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. d. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. • Previous Ap�lication The following were found by the zoning committee at their December 7, 1995 hearing: The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)1 The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991) [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The proposed use is a relative�y low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot wiil not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare.

Cars will nof be repaired on the iot. Histo The site was at one time used as a gas station. Until the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commercial building on the north part of the lot. 7he following is a chronology of recent approvais: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking fot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback befween B-3 uses and the adjoining residential property. 1989 Special condition use permit approved for used car safes for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site). � 1982 License was issued for used car sa(es for four cars. � 9 � ��y • 1983 Speciai condition use permif for used car sales approved with 10 conditions including limit of 16 cars for sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-foot visual screen on east property line. 1987 Site plan approved for used car sales; requires a screening fence along east property line and bollards with chain to contain cars on site. � • 1988 Special condifion use permit appiication filed and then withdrawn for irailer sales. 1989 Speciai condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolufion indicates 14 car limit inciuding parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992 Staff recommended approval of the speciai condition use permit for used car sales with nine conditions. The planning commission denied the permit. 1995 Special Condition Use Permit for used car sales was approved by the Planning Commission. The District 4 Council appealed the Planning Commission's decision to tne City Council, which denied the permit. Zonina Section 60.544 (2) permits outdoor sales space for exclusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobiies, all subject to the following: a. The lot or area shall be provided with a permanent, durable and dustiess surface, and shall be graded and drained as to dispose of ali surface water accumulated within the area. � c. Vehicular access to the outdoor sales area shall be at least sixty (60) feet from the intersection of any two (2) s#reets. No repair or refinishing shali be done on the lot uniess conducted within a completely enclosed building. d. The minimum lot area shali be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking. Sect+on 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial � � �-�� , compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. b. The use wiil provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize trafific congestion in the public streets. c. The use wili nof be defrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public heaith, safety and general welfare. d. The use wiil not impe�e the normai and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permiited in the district. e. The use shail, in ail other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Proposal The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustiess surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surFace water accumulafed within the area. (Sec. 60.544 (2) (a)1• � The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing wiil be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 {2) (c)]. The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of tra�c. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). [Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding properry for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)]. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot wiil not be detrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the pubiic safety and general welfare. Denial The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: the extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicab/e subarea plans which were approved by the city council. • � 9�-/�� Sec. 64.300 (d) (e), which stafes: the use shall, in all otherrespects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Sec. 60.544 (2)(d) which requires: The minimum lot area shall be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan shal( be submitted showing the layout of the vehicies for sale or rent, employee parking, and customer parking, Sec. 60.300 (d)(a) which requires: The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea pians which were approved by the city council, Sec. 64.300 (d)(c) which requires: The use wiil not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the pubiic hsalth, safety and general welfare, and Sec. 68.300 {d)(e) which requires: The use shall, in ali other respects, conform to ihe applicabie regulations of the � district in which it is located. Most of the above secYions cited for reasons for denial deal with buffering the commercial use from the residential areas, specifically the use of set backs and landscaping requirements. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, application of the 4 and 6 foot setbacks, the required landscaping between public rights of way, the 10 foot setback from the residential area and fhe parking space requirements limit the commercial use of the property to a car lot. The city of St. Paui realized the hardship in the 1970's and 1980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and wouid deny any reasonable use in the current zoning classification. Application of fhe newly enacted minimum 15,000 square foot requirement ordinance creates a hardship to the applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historically been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasibie commercial use. Adapting the property to another commerciai use wouid require expanding the existing building, which would violate one of the setback requirements. Denying the variance to the 15,000 square foot requirement wou(d restrict the commerciai uses and establish a taking of the property. Conclusion The applicant has a solid business plan for the property, which will be an asset to the . community. The applicant needs both a special condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses.

ABSENT; Chavez, excused Time: 3:32 - 4:30 p.m. The meeting was chaired by Gladys Morton, Chairperson. es. To allow outdoor sales of Kady Dadlez, Planning Division staff, reviewed the staff report and presented slides. Staff recommended denial of the special condition use permit based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e of the staff report. The Dayton's B1uff Center for Civic Li£e voted to oppose the special condition use permit application. One letter of support was received from Bud & A1's Brake Service, 695 Azcade Street. A peCition of support was also submitted by the applicant. Commissioner Field asked whaC the staff recommendation had been regarding the 1995 request for a special condition use permit for a used car 1ot for this property. Ms. Dadlez responded that staff had recommended denial in 1995. Commissioner Kramer xeviewed that since Che 1995 case that a minimum lot size requirement of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles had been established by the planning commission. Eric Thole, Attorney with Clinton & Taylor P.A., 8750 90th St. South, spoke representing the applicant, who was also present. Mr. Thole stated that Mr. Lobinsky was in Che process o£ purchasing the property, with the outcome dependent upon the SCUP. Mr. Tho1e reviewed that the proposal is for Auto Acceptance, a used car lot that would include financing through a franchise agreement set up with Credit Acceptance Corporation, with a representative located on-site. A majority of the business would be done by computers and over the phone and customers with credit problems would be targeted, and he said it would not be operated as a standard used car lot which would generate a lot of customer traffic on the lot. Mr. Thole reported that repairs have been done to bring the site up to code and Chat a certificate of occupancy has been issued. The applicant intends to paint the facility, landscape the site, and do general clean-up. No auto repair would be done on-site and a11 off-street parking could be sugported on the site. Mr. Thole referenced materials provided commissioners by the applicant containing a site plan as well as a list of neighbors and businesses that support the proposal. In reviewing staff's report he addressed a few issues. �Z �-�-�� He noted that the applicant has met a majority of the general conditions which apply to special condition use permits and reviewed the conditions which were not met. 3a. with respect to: non-comp2iaace with the neighborhood plan. He suggested finding 3a to be somewhat ambiguous as it first states that it has to meet the setbacks and that it asks for a phasing out of commercial uses that are incompatible with adjacent residential uses, which he felt the staff report states that it is not going to be detrimental to the neighborhood character. 3e. with respect to: not meeting the required setbacks. Mr. Thole reviewed the site plan and said he was unable to envision any other viable commercial use of the property, given its configuration wiCh the small building and long piece of property. 3d. with respect to: the minimum lot area of fifteen thousand 115,000) square feet. hir. Thole suggested that if the committee strictly enforces the 15,OD0 square feet provision, given the property's Zong history of being used for such a use, that it pretty much denies any use of the property. Mr. Thole concluded that when all of the requirements for a used car lot are applied to this property that it eliminates any viable use. He suggested it would be best that Lhe property be used, cleaned up and that the proposal be approved. Commissioner Kramer asked whether Mr. Tho1e knew if the existing building on the property could be replaced. Mr. 2ho1e respor.ded that in the case of rebui2ding that a 2o foot setback wou2d have to be met which would result in the inability to meet other conditions, which would prohibit building on the site. Commissioner Kramer asked if the independent insurance agent could locate in the existing building alone, Mr. Thole responded that such a use would be possible but he did not see as a viable business use, given a building of 400 square feet which makes up less than 10 percent of the total lot. Ms. Dadlez reEerenced the history/discussion in the staff report indicating that a variance was granted in 1976 allowing for a 10 foot setback along the eastern property line, and that the setback is more an issue along Margaret and Arcade Street. Commissioner Kramer asked what might be rebuilt on the site if the existing building were torn down. Mr. Warner responded that circumstances would change if the building were to come down, but that presently with the variance granted in 1976 for a SO foot setback, that it a2lows the bui2ding to be used as it exists, and also allows the parking spaces adjacent to the wood fence. Commissioner Vaught reviewed that whether or not the 15,000 square foot requirement was newly enacted or not that it is law. When commissioners look at variances and setbacks it is not enough to judge an application positively that an applicant meets the majority of the requirements, and said that it is also a matter of degree to which requirements are or are not met, xe said he CJ � � J u 2 53 �' • would not have nearly the problem with the application if the square footage were signi£icantly closer to the 15,000 square £eet required. Commissioner Vaught disagreed that the property could only be used as a used car lo�. Ae reviewed that it is zoned B-3 and there are any number of uses which are allowed in a B-3 zone. He said he was a concerned about the rhetoric that there is no other reasonable economic use for the property, saying that it would not be true simply becavse the client seeks to put a used car lot at the location, but that isn't evidence enou:-h to mandate that conclusion. Commissioner Vaught referenced the applicant's letter of intent noting that it was contingent upon the SCUP being granted. He established that theze isn•t any chance of the taking of the property with respect to the applicant if the permit is not approved as the applicant has the ability to back out of the deal. Commissioner Gurney noted Mr. Thole•s statement that the property had a long history of being a car lot, although he said that in the 20 year period documented as history that it apparently amounted to a very short amount of time because there were freguent requests for new SCUPS. Gurney asked if Che agplicant could grovide the actual amount of time it was operated as a used car lot. hfr. Thole could not provide that information, however said it was indeed used as a used car lot. Steve Asmus, 871 Margaret Street, spoke on behalf of the 800 Margaret Street Block Club, in opposition. Mr, Asmus confirmed that the lot has been used for car sales from time to time and said the neighborhood had nothing but problems from cars for sale being parked in the street. He said in between the SCUPs that o1d used car parts and junk cars have 6een stored on the lot. Mr. Asmus � explained that the main reason for neighbors' signatures on the petition of support was that they wished to see the cite cleaned up and a business located theze, but that they do not wish to see a used car lot. He suggested the site would be appropr�ate for insurance or credit company purposes. Commissioner Vaught advised that if the neighborhood desired to see the property not be used as a used car lot that they consider doing a study that might lead to a rezoning other than B-3, as used car lots are an allowable use with a special condition use permit in a B-3 zone, however the minimum square footage is the issue in this case. Fie also suggested that the neighbors might contact the owner or the applicant to attempt to devise a plan that might work £or all. Mr. Asmus responded that Che neighborhood has submitted suggestions to the owner of the property as well as have sent potential renters to him. He said that much of the neighborhood's opposition to the proposal is that they do not believe the lot size is large enough to handle that type of business. Greg Auge, spoke in opposition on behalf of the Dayton�s Hluff CommuniCy Council. Iie reporCed that Mr. Lobinsky presented his proposal to the Land Use Committee which then voted to oppose the SCUP and that subsequently the board voted for denial as well. He further stated that the boaYd has been consistent in its opposition of a used car lot at this location. Harvey Asmus, 860 Margaret, spoke in opposition. Mr. Asmus expressed concern that parking is already a problem on the street due to a number of multi- family dwelling units in the neighborhood and said that much overflow parking goes into the street. Ae also mentioned traffic safety to be an issue due to obstruction of traffic £rom Margaret on to Azcade Street. Mr. Asmus said the proposal doesn't meet the neighborhood p1an, that others have o£fered to purchase the property as well as to rent the property, with t9r. Asmus claiming � that the owner appears to have a preference for a used car lot. 3 �* ..�"l� ��-�� Bertha Asmus, 860 b7argaret, spoke in opposiCion. Nts. Asmus reiterated that � interest has been shown in the property for other uses and noted a realty company and a small newspaper that were turned down by the owner. She advised that perhaps a coffee drive-thru might be an appropriate use and said that she and others in the neighborhood are interested in seeing a business other than the used car lot occupy the site. Ms. Asmus spoke of concerns regarding on-street parking, and traffic generated and related child safety. She suggested that a petition in opposition o£ a used car Zo[ at the site in the past currently stands and .that the neighborhood is working towards, and has been making great strides in, improving their neighborhood. Mr. Pho1e spoke in rebuttle. In response to alternative uses of the property he suggested that the free market will dictate a use's viability. Mr. Thole briefly reviewed the applicant's proposal reiterating that this used car lot would be unique as it targets its customers and most of the work would be done over the phone and by computer. He noted that the off-street parking requirements are met and that he did not foresee on-street parking to be a problem. Mr. Thole disagreed that the owner is being selective as to the purchaser of the property and sai@ that the owner is seriously attempting to sell the property. Commissioner Gurney noted the testimony that the majozity of the business would be done by computer and telephone, yet in the letter circulated to the neighbors for support of the proposal states that the applicant hopes to capitalize on the existing trafEic, in contrast to just computer and telephone generated business, as stated. Mr. Thole responded that incidental benefits that might be generated as a result of the location would be beneficia2, however would not be the specific targeted cZiente2e. � The public hearing was closed. Commisaioner Kramer recommended denial of the special condition uee permit based on findinga 2d, 3a, 3c and 3e, noting that he dieagreed with ata£f and found that condition 3c was not met. Commissioner Xzamer said that condition 3c relates to the proximity of the car lot to the residentiaZ neighborhood, and that testimony was received relating to its detrimental impact. He said that the shortage of off-street parking spaces will result in customers parking on Margaret Street, which he noted as ane of the city council's previously identified reasons for denial, and TCramer said this would be exacerbated by additional tenants renting space in the building. Commisaioner Guzney aeconded the motion. Commissioner Vaught said issues relative to traffic and parking don't hold much impect for him when the street carries 6,700 cars, and he questioned the potential effect the traffic generated by the used car lot could have. Ae also said that he doesn't conclude that the statutorily correct number of o£f- street parking spaces will in fact, not lead to those spaces being used for the purpose that they are there £or and lead to parking on Margaret. Commissioner Vaught didn't agree with the findings regarding condition 3c. vaught sai@ he would support the motion due to the 15,000 square foot requirement, stating that the proposal is clear2y deficient. Commissianer Kramer noted two things supporting finding 3c: the testimony of the area resident regarding the direction of traffic on Sixth Street and that Margaret Street as a result of that restriction will be used to test drive cars; and the Near East Side Improvement Strategy that identifies all auto- � related uses as incompatible with adjacent residential uses. �S ��-��y � Commissioner Field said he would support the motion because the 15,000 square £oot lot area requirement is clearly not met. He said in the past it was argued that a small lot of this size was not economically viable. FIe didn't believe it was Che commissioners' purpose to determine economic viability. The motion carried an a voice vote of 7 to 0.

PARCBL SIZF: The property has 123 feet of frontage on Arcade Street and 39.41 feet of frontage on Margaret for a total. Iot area of 4,847 square feet. Including one-half of the alley, the lot area is 5,241 square � feet. c. SxisT2NG LAND IISE: The site is vacant except for a small building and paved surface. D. SIIRROIINDING LAND IISB: North: Liguor store immediately to the nortH and other commercial uses in a B-3 zoning district. East: One and two-£amily uses in an RT-1 zoning district_ South: One and two-family uses in an RT-1 zoning district. West: Clinic, grocery store, drug store, and other commercial and residential uses in a B-3 zoning district. E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Sections 60.544(2) and 64.300(d1 of the zoning code permit outdoor sales of used automobiles subject to the conditions detailed in findings #2 and #3 of this report. F. H25TORY/DISCIISSION: The site was used at one Lime as a gas station. The building on the site appears to date from that use. Until the early 1980s there was a repair garage and commercial building on the north part oP the lot. Following is a chronology of recent activities: 1976: The board of zoning appeals approved three variances €or a I2 car parking lot. The one variance zelevant to the use now proposed was a variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between 8-3 uses and residential properties. 19s1: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street (south part of the site) with several conditions including no certificate of occupancy until conditions are met and Iimit of four cars. Use apparently was never established. . Underground gas tanks were removed in 1981. 57 97-��1 � Zoning File #96-247 Page 7tvo 1982: License issued for used car sales for four cars. 1983: Special condition use permit £or useci car sales approved with 10 conditions including limit o£ 15 cars £or sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-£oot visual screen on east property line. A neighbor spoke in opposition because previous conditions were not met. 1984: Field investigation by staff indicated several conditions not met including excess number of cars on lot, Margaret driveway kept open, no landscaping, and it appeared cars for sale parked in street. 1987: Site plan approved for used car sales; requires screening fence along east property line and bollards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988: Special condition use permit application for trailer sales was filed and then withdrawn. 1989: Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resoluCion indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992: 5pecial condition use permit for used car sales was denied by the planning commission. The applicant appealed to the city council which upheld the planning commission's decision. Staff had recommended approval of the permit with nine conditions as did the zoning committee. � In 1992 when the planning commission denied the special condition use permit to allow the sales of used cars, the basis o£ that decision was that the use did not conform to the required findings of 64.300id). First, that the use would be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the area: on-street parking, theft and vandalism, and an 8-foot chain link fence would detract from nearby residential uses and recent improvements. Second, that the use does not conform to the applicable regulations of the district in that the site does not provide the four-foot setbacks with landscaping between public rights-of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. Finally, the planning commission denial cited tlze policy statement in the Near EasC Side Improvement Strategy recommending that land uses which are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots) be phased-out. The city council's resolution affirming the planning commission�s decision cited the same findings. 1995: Special condition use germit for a used car lot was apgroved by the planning commission. Permit allowed 7 cars for sale and 4 off-street parking spaces. The Distzict 4 Council appealed the planning commission`s decision to the city council. The city council granted the appeal of the District Council and denied the special condition use permit. In 1995 when the planning commission approved the special condition use permit to allow the outdoor sales of automohiles it found that all of the conditions of the permit were met and approved the permit to allow 7 cars for sale and 4 ofE-street � parking spaaes. The city council's resoluCion over[.urning the planning commission's decision and denying the permit cited the � ��-«� Zoning File #96-247 Page Three small lot size, the policy statement from the Near East Side Improvement Strategy, and the detrimental impact to the existing character of development in the immediate neighborhood. Finally, for your information, the following is the staff analysis which accompanied the staff report for the special condition use permit requested in 1995. STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed site, 4,847 square feet, is too small to accommodate a used car lot and the required setbacks, screening, and landscaping (the minimum lot size for a single £amily home is greater at S,Q00 square feet). Planning staff has seen similar problems in other areas o£ the city where used car lots are squeezed onto scaall sites. Placing conditions on permits to Iimit the number of cars on a lot and require off-street parking does not guarantee that the conditions will be met. Violations of these conditions occur regularly as evidenced by enforcement actions in the Office of License, Inspections, and Environmental Protection. Staff has talked about this issue and believes that establishing a minimum lot size for used car lots is an idea for the planning commission to consider in a future minor zoning amendment. In May, 1996, the planning commission recommended approval of, and the city council adopted, an amendment to require a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet for outdoor sale of automobiles. G. DISTRICT COIINCIL R&COb4dHNDATION: The Dayton'S Bluff Center £or Civic Life voted to oppose tke special condition use permit application f H. FINDINGS• � The app7_icant has a contract to purchase the property and intends to sell previously owned automobiles to people who need to establish credit. The hours of operation will be 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays; tkere will be one full time employee and one part time employee. In addition to a general clean up of the site, the applicant intends to paint the exterior of the building, repair the existing fence along the eastern property line, repair the existing pylon sign, and plant three boulevard trees. The applicant adds that there will be a tenant, an independent insurance agent, in the office building, along with the car sales office. Section 60.544(2J permits outdoor sales space for exclusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobiles, all subject to the following: The lot or area sba21 be provided with a permanent, dnrab3e and dustZess surface, aad shall be graded aad draiaed as to dispose of aS1 surface water acaumulated within tke area. This condition is met. The site is adequately paved and drained. b. Vehicular access to the outdoor sales area shall be at least sixty (60) feet from the iutersection of any two !2) streets. This condition is met. The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 feet from the intersection with arcade Street. No repair or refiaishfng shall be doae oa the lot ualess conducted within a complete3y enclosed building. �iiJ 9 �-�� • Zoning File #96-247 Page Four This condition is met. The applicant states that no major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot, except for changing £lat tires and jump starts. Aowever, sta£f advised the applicant that no repair or refinishing of any kind can be done unless the activity takes place within a completely enclosed building. The applicant undersCands and accepts this condition and adds that he has other facilities for repairs and re£inishing. d. The minimvm lot area shall be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan sha11 be submitted ahowing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, employee parking, aad customer parking. This condition is not met. The site has a lot area of 5,242 square feet, including one-half of the alley. This is 9,758 square feet less than required. The applicant requests a modi£ication of this condition stating that this minimum lot size requirement creates a hardship. Ae states that historically the property has been used for auto sales, which is the property�s only feasible commercial use. He adds that denying the modification would restrict the commercial uses and establish a taking of the property. StafP does not recommend that this condition be modified since such a modification would not be in keeping with the intent and purpose of the special condition. In fact, the staff analysis in the previous special condition use permit request for this property raised the issue of the inappropriateness of particularly sma11 sites being used for car sales. � 3. Section 64.300(d) of the zoning code requires that before trie planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special � conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, Iocatioa and intensity of the use will be in substantiaZ compliance mith the Saint Pau2 Comprehensive Plaa aad any applicable subarea plaas which weze approved by the city couneil. This condition is not met. One of the land use and zoning goals of the District 4 Plan states, "to promote better buffering between residential, commercial, and industrial land uses on and around East 7th Street,..." p. 13. The District 4 land use�policy states that the district council will support development of new or redevelopment of existing structures in industrial or commercial areas only when accompanied by parking provisions as established in the zoning code and by proper landscaping. The applicant is able to provide the required o£f-street parking but there is not adequate space on the lot to provide the required setback and landscaping and still accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. The Near East Side Improvement Strategy (N25) completed in 1989 contains a set of strategies to address the issues of housing, economic development, neighborhood image, transportation, parks and recreation, land use and zoning, and education. The most relevant part of the document to the proposed use is the goals for economic development. These goals include: 1) "concentrate commercial land uses along existing commercial spines and at existing commercial nodes; 2) improve and maintain the vitality and appearance of commercial establishments; 3) phase out . m r- ��- [S�t Zoning File #96-247 Page Five commercial uses that are incompatible with adjacent residential uses (e.g. auto body shops, used car lots)." (p. 23, goals 1, 8, and 9) The NIS was accepted as a policy statement by the planning commission and the city council but was not adopted as part of the city's comprehensive plan. b. The use mill provide adequate tagress aad egress to miaimize traffic congestioa .in the public streets. This condition is met. The proposed use is not expected to generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991). On-street parking is permitted on the east side of Arcade Street except from 4:00 p.m. to 6:D0 p.m.. On-street parking on the west side of Arcade between Seventh & Margaret is limited to 15 minutes from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. c. The use wi31 not be detrimeatal to the existiag character of tbe deveSo�eat in the ia�ediate neighborhood or eadanger the public hea2th, safety and geaeral welfare. C� This condition is met. The proposed use is a relatively low intensity commercial use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be deLrimental to the character of the neighborhood or endanger the public safety and general welfare. � However, theft of and vandalism to vehicles parked on Margaret Street was identified as a problem when used cars have been sold from the subject site in the past. d. The use wiS1 not impede tke normal and orderZy develo�ent and improvemeat of the surrouadiag property for uses permitted ia the district. This condition is met. e. The use shall, in all otfier respects, conform to the applicable regulatioas of the district in whick it is located. This condition is not met. The site plan submitted does not provide the required setbacks with landscaping between public rights of way and the parking lot as required by the zoning code. The site is too small to provide these setbacks and sti17. accommodate the proposed number of cars for sale. In addition, while Section 6I.I03(b) requires side and rear yards of at least ten feet when a business district adjoins a side yard in an adjacent residential district, the board of zoning appeals granted a variance of this requirement for this property in 1976. 4. The off-street parking requirement for used car sales is one space per 400 square feet of office space and one parking space per 2,000 square feet of outdoor display area. The requirement for the proposed use is three spaces (one for the office space and two for the outdoor display area). The site plan indicates four off-street parking spaces. 5. Section 64.300(f): of the zoning code states, "The planning commission, after public hearing, may modify any or a12 special P� 9��i�� • Zoning File #96-247 Page Six conditions, when strict application of such special condiCions would unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of property or an existing structure and would result in exceptional undue hardship to the owner of such property or structure; provided, that such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfare of the community and is consistent wi[.h reasonable enjoyment of adjacent property. STAE'F RECOT4SHNDATIONs Based on findings 2d, 3a, and 3e staff recommends denial of the special condition use permit. � J • E y � � - «�l SPECIAt CONDITION USE PERMIT APPLICATION Department of Planning and Economic Development Zoning Section II00 Ciry Hall Annez 25 N'esd Fourth Street Saint Paul, MN SSIO2 266-6589 APPLfCANT PROPERTY LOCATION �. �.

The following is a chronology of recent approvals: 1976 The board of zoning appeals approved three variances for a 12 car parking lot. The one variance relevant to the use now proposed was variance of a required 10 foot side yard setback between B-3 uses and the adjoining residential property. 1981 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales for 666 Arcade Street {south part of the site). 1982 License was issued for used car sales for four cars. � ��-l ��a�� a�' 241 � 1983 Special condition use permit for used car sales approved with 10 * conditions including limit of 16 cars for sale, 2 parking spaces, and 6-foot visual screen on east property line. 1987 Site plan approved for used car sales; requires a screening fence along east property line and boliards with chain to contain cars on site. 1988 Special condition use permit application filed and then withdrawn for trailer sales. 1989 Special condition use permit approved for used car sales. Planning commission resolution indicates 14 car limit including parking; SCUP limits sale cars to 10. 1992 Staff recommended approval of the special condition use permit for used car sales with nine conditions. The planning commission denied the permit. 1995 Special Condition Use Permit for used car sales was denied by the zoning committee. The zoning committee's decision was overturned by the ptanning commission, which sef various conditions on the approval. The applicant appealed placement of the condition to the city council. The city � council ruled against the applicant. Zonin Section 60.544 (2) permits outdoor sales space for exciusive sale of new or secondhand automobiles, house trailers or rental of trailers or automobiles, all subject to the following: a. The lot or area shall be provided with a permanent, durable and dustless surface, and shal! be graded and drained as to dispose of at! surface water accumulated within the area. b. Vehicular access to the outdoor sates area shail be at least sixty (60) feet from the intersection of any two (2) streets. c. No repair or refinishing shail be done on the lot unless conducfed within a completely enclosed buildi�g. d. The minimum lot area shall be fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet. A site plan shall be submitted showing the layout of the vehicles for sale or rent, empioyee parking, and customer parking. � 6? �� Z�'�� Section 64.300 (d) of the zoning code requires that before the pianning commission may grant approvaf of a principai use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: a. The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any appiicable subarea plans which were approved by the city counci�. b. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. c. The use wil! not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. d. 7he use wilf not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. e. 7he use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. � Previous Application The following were found by the zoning committee at their December 7, 1995 hearing: The parking area has a permanent, durable and dustfess surface, and is graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulated within the area. [Sec. 60.544 {2) (a)] The driveway on Arcade Street is approximately 72 feet from the intersection with Margaret and 60 fieet from the intersection with Arcade Street. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (b)]. No major repairs or refinishing will be done on the lot. [Sec. 60.544 (2) (c)). The proposed use will not generate a significant amount of traffic. The average daily traffic volume on Arcade Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets is 6,700 (July, 1991) (Sec. 64.300 (d) (b)]. The proposed use is a relative(y low intensity commerciaf use which is appropriate given the residential uses to the south of the site. The used car lot will not be detrimental to the character of the ne+ghborhood or endanger the public safety and general we4fare. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (c)]. � The use wifl not impede the normaf and orderfy development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. [Sec. 64.300 (d) (d)}. i ��-i�� Z��f�� ,� �b�2q � Denial ^ The previous denial was based on Sec. 64.300 (d) (a), which states: fhe exfent, locabon and intensity of fhe use wrll be in subsfantial compliance wrth the Sainf Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by fhe cify council. and Sec. 64.300 (d) (e), which states: the use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is locafed. The explanation given for each application of the above section deals with buffering the commerciai use from the residential areas, specificaily the use of set backs and landscaping requiremenTs. If the zoning code was imposed without variance, the 4 and 6 foot setbacks with landscaping between public righfs of way and the parking lot"would eliminate any possible commercia! use of the property. The land is zoned commercial and strict application of the zoning code on the property results in undue hardship. The city of St. Paul realized the hardship in the 1970's and 9980's and granted the variances and use permits. Denying such use now would be an arbitrary capricious decision, and would deny any reasonabfe use in the current zoning ciassification. Variance Section 60.544 (2)(d), which requires auto sales businesses to have a minimum lot area of fifteen thousand square feet, was added to the zoning code after the 1995 special condition use permit for the property was denied by city council. Application of the newly enacted ordinance creates a hardship to fhe applicant; therefore, the applicant seeks a variance. The property has historica!!y been used for auto sales, which is the property's only feasible commercial use. Denying the variance would restrict the commercial uses and establish a taking of the property. Conciusion The applicant has a solid business plan for the property, which will be an asset to the community. The applicant needs both a special condition use permit and a variance from the lot size requirement for auto sales businesses. � � Li1 Nlarg Street Grass o = Sidewalk a,� `a �fi Display 1 `'' a < w� � � �~ a. � 3 � Display 2 A �.Y_;�Q�'^i>i:� . : 'Q � :: `wl ' �;G_:: i �' Y �5: :'� : �:5 i . ;'-EN , :a`��T ' _�fr>;: ... { Display 5 �1 { S� � e _M �s � �� vs�x � � Display 6 Dispiay 7 � � iCustomer � �__�' v t�. � Custome � �— �I Customer X 7 c=� � Customer rr � � � G � Q Display 8 0 � � Display 9 �„ � A 38` Alley > > � .� Q �111N � K � ti f . a a4 � O � � � �i � � � � � � S E W N ��/� � �^ i"� � H � W � � � � � � 0 � � � '7U � �- ��5 � Letter of Sntent This letter of intent is entered into between Marv Sayre and Peter iobinsky for purposes of se2ling 672 Azcade Street, St. Paul, (the Property) Mir.nesota owned by Sayre_ Sayre intends to sell and Lobinsky intends to purchase the Prone=ty on the following terms and conditions: 1.
