PIN's 352922120110 & 352922120118; and WHEREAS, the purpose of the application was to vary the standazds of the zoning code so as to receive a variance for the construction oF a detached garage in a R3 zoning district; and WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Appeals conducted a public hearing on May 5, 1997, after having provided notice to affected property, and the Board, by its resolution number 97- 093, dated May 19, 1997, granted the variance, with conditions, based upon the following findings and conclusions: Because of the terrain of the undeveloped right-of-way, it is unlikely that the street will ever be put through. Without frontage on an improved street the lot in question would not be build able due to lack of sewer and water utility access. 2. The terrain of the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way and the lack of accessibility to utilities aze circuxnstance that were not created by the applicant. Since it is unlikely that Beech Street will ever be developed in this block, a reasonable use of this property would be for accessory uses to the residences along East Minnehaha Avenue. The applicant states that he intends to petition to have the right-of-way vacated. If successful, tlus would make the applicanPs principal residence and the subject property a contiguous pazcel and would eliminate the need for a variance. 4. This is a relatively lazge pazcel of land and, with adequate setbacks, can accommodate a 27 by 36 foot garage without adversely affecting the character of the surrounding azea or the supply of light and air to the adjacent property. 34 As with all lazge gazages, there is a concern that the building may eventually be 35 used for coxnmercial pwposes. However, this can be addtessed with a condition 36 on the variance that the gazage is not to be used for commercial purposes. 37 38 S. The proposed variance, if granted, would not change or alter the zoning 39 classification of the property. c��( -�`ly 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potenfial of the pazcel of land. WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Saint Paul Legislative Code § 64.205, Harry Mandik, et al., on May 20, 1997, duly filed with the City Clerk an appeal from the determination made by the Boazd of Zoning Appeals requesting that a hearing be held before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Boazd; and WHEREAS, acting pursuant to Saint Paul Legislarive Code §§ 64.205 - 64.208 and upon notice to affected parties, a public hearing was duly conducted by the City Council on June 11, 1997, where all interested parties were given an opporttuiity to be heard; and WHEREAS, the council, having heazd the statements made and having considered the variance application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Board of Zoning Appeals, does hereby resolve, that the councIl of the City of Saint Paul affums the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals in this matter based upon the following findings of the council; Based upon all the testimony and having considered the application, the report of staff, the Boazd of Zoning Appeals record minutes and the resolution of the Board of Zoning Appeals, the council of the City of Saint Paul finds no enor as to fact, finding or procedure in the decision of the Boazd of Zoning Appeals in this matter and therefore adopts and incorporates herein the findings and conditions of the Board of Zoning Appeals resolution No. 97-093 as set forth above; and BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the above stated findings and reasons, the appeal of Harry Mandik, et a1., is hereby denied in all things; and BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the City Council shall mail a copy of this resolution to Mr. Hany Mandik, the Zoning Administrator, Boazd of Zoning Appeals and the Saint Paul Plannuig Commission.

Mr. Swenson wants to build a sizable garage three city lots away from his house on the wooded property he has obtained. The homeowners of Margazet Street are, as you know, opposed to the variance that was granted to Mr. Swenson on May 5, 1997. Many of the concerns we have are justifiable. One of the reasons this neighborhood is so attractive was because of the wonderful condition all of the houses, yards and nearby woods. Our neighborhood is clean, quiet and has relatively no traffic in the alley. These are some of the reasons we Iiked the neighborhood so well. It's like being up at a cabin all year round. It was never mentioned in the May S, 1997, hearing that there are a tota] of 1 S children that live and play in the Margaret Street alley. ThaY s not including the children from the local day cares that are old enough to play with the neighborhood children. That's a very high number of children that use the alley everyday. I'm speaking for all the residents when I say we would rather have all the c}nldren play out back in the alley instead of Margaret Street. With the approval of the Board ofZoning Appeals, Mr. Swenson's proposed garage woui� i:n.�r:er.sel-y :ncrzase t::� �olu:r.e cftrz:�� .: o:;: alley. As it stzr.ds, trai:�c i: t?�e alley is almost nothing as the Margaret Street residents are the only people who use it, and we all know the children are there. The entrances to the alley are barely visible from Margaret Street as the look like someone's driveway. �i�1- P� Page 2 Another concern we have is the impact Mr. Swenson's proposed garage would have on the woods. The woods is a ratural wetland with many kinds of wildiife. A garage would greatly d'uninish the beauty of the woods and would disturb the many creatures that live Yhere, as the woods have been untouched for many years. Margazet Street residents, we think, have a lot to lose ifthis garage is allowed to be built. We all have been enjoying the a beautiful woods from the backs of our homes. We do not want to look out and see a nasty scene that could well include junk cars, trucks and whatever else Mr. Swenson might choose to store on this site. Once one garage is allowed to be built we are worried that everyone is going to want to build some kind of buildin� in the woods and it will, in time, become a junk pile. We are worried our home values will decrease if Mr. Swenson or anyone else is allowed to build in the woods. It would look like a salvage yard by time everyone built, used and stored belongings in and around their garages. I would also like to mention that Mr. Swenson has been letting his neighbors, on Minnehaha Avenue, use his land to drive up to their houses from the alley, which I have seen on numerous occasions. We feel it's not just going to be a garage, it's going to be everyone from Minnehaha bringing in more traffic and noise into our backyards. I would like to see Mr. Swenson build his garage up by his house. He has enough room there to build his garage He does not need to destroy our woods and our peace and quiet in order to have a garage to store his belongings in. Ms. Anderson, please talce into consideration all of the above and let us keep our neighborhood just as it is. I can't tell you how much this decision will impact all of our lives. We are a neighborhood joining together for a good cause to maintain the beauty and tranquillity of our woods and our alley. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

DATE RECEIVED: 04/14/97 DEADLINE FOR ACfiION: 06/13/97 A. PiTRPOSE: The appiicant is proposing to build a garage on a vacant lot separated from the loT on which his house is located by an undeveloped sYreet right-of-way. B. ACTTON REQUESTED: A variance to allow construction of an accessory building on a zoning Iot other than the lot of the principal residence. C. SITE AND AREA CONDTITONS: The subject properry is a 100 by 14Q foot vacant parcel that fronts on the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way. The right-of-way to the east ofthis lot is a low lying wetiand area. The only access to ttus lot is through the alley between Beech Street and Margaret Street or ttuough the applicant's properiy at 2I00 East Minnehaha Avenue. Surrounding Land Use: Primarily single family homes along East Minnehaha and Margaret Streets. The adjoining lots that front on the undeveioped Beech Street aze vacant. D. BACKGROUND: The applicant recently pwchased tlus taac forfeit lot with the intention of constmcring a garage to store a camper trailer he plans on purchasing. E. FINDINGS: The properiy in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. q'l -�`f y File #97-093 Page Two Because of the terrain of the undeveloped right-of-way, it is unlikely that the street will ever be put through. Without frontage on an improved street the lot in question would not be buildable due to lack of sewer and water utility access. 2. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. The terrain of the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way and the lack of accessibility to utilities are circumstances that were not created by the applicant. 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul. Since it is unlikely that Beech Street will ever be developed in this block, a reasonable use of this property would be for accessory uses to the residences along East Minnehaha Avenue. The applicant states that he intends to petition to have the right-of-way vacated. If successful, this would make the appiicant's principal residence and the subject property a contiguous parcel and would eliminate the need for a variance. 4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the sunounding area. This is a relatively large parcel of land and, with adequate setbacks, can accommodate a 27 by 36 foot garage without adversely affecting the chazacter of the sunounding area or the supply of light and air to the ad}acent property. -- As with ail large garages, there is a concem that the building may eventually be used for commercial purposes. However, this can be addressed with a condition on the variance that the garage is not to be used for commercial purposes. 5. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is not permitted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the affected land is located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classification of the property. File #97-093 Page Three The proposed variance, if granted, would not change or alter the zorring classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the pazcel of land. F. DISTRICT COUNCIL, RECOMMENDATION: A.s of the date of this report we have not received a recommendation from District I. G. STAFF RECOMII�NDATION: Based on findings 1 through 6, staff recommends approval of the variance subject to the foilowing conditions: 1) The garage is not used For commercial purposes. 2) The applicant subm�ts a petition for vacating the Beech Sueet right- of-way within one yeaz of tlus date. � J �,e:, � A�1 B LC �__ =-_ --,�_- =�J ` -, z , „o. },- �'l - �a �j �;<� �i �a22. - � tR� �'_"—' i � �_, �,� _26_W DIV _�SB8F0 _: �•� uabtJs t,ope� Z �,3Q�c. 4 � ST• �� To fia) J (29)"� <30) i o �o ;o ; m � � � ; � ; � N P ;14 cui 1 ; 7 � � , � � � MS � 20i9 �w ui � w � � o � !�i � ?.�l , nL4EY f� �s ' � —�—% �---� r �-----' 9-20-W <�2j (�3) Z�21 2��1 211T s2• a� � --„----r---- --� �---' �---- :�� , � i r � � � I APPLICANT � <-�i !"�� LEGEND • PURPOSE_1111')b r� f I(1 1� t.e ��. zoning district boundary FIIE tt- J 7 D�I� DATE •'>' �' 9�I � subjed property n� orth� PtiJG.

The applicant was present. There was opposition present at the hearing. Mr. Hazdwick showed slides of the site and reviewed the staff report with a recommendation for approval subject to the following conditions: 1) The gazage is not used for commercial purposes. 2) The applicant submits a petition for vacating the Beech 5treet right-of-way within one yeaz of tivs date. Two letters were received in opposition regarding the variance request. Pat Swenson, 2100 Minnehaha Avenue, stated he has cleazed the lot already and he is ]eaving a 3Q-foot setback from the alley. He stated that although that will cost him more for a driveway and he feit it was worth it to retain the woods as much as he could. He submitted a petition of support to the Boazd from neighboring residents. He pwchased the property from tax forfeited land at a pubiic hearing at which all the neighboring residents were informed of. Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Swenson if he has made any attempt in vacating Beech Street. Mr. Swenson replied that he had attempted to but there is so much property adjacent to it that is tax forfeited land. Ae was told that in addition to the $ lOQ ftiing fee and the $500 completion fee he would have to provide a legal description of all the properties surrounding Beech Street which gces down the entire block. He spoke to the tteighbors and they azen't interested in gaining 20 feet on tfie back of their properry. TaY forfeited ia� doesn't want aziy more land but would rather have the City pay the taxes for the right-of-way. He staked it would be a substantial cost for him to vacate the street and he only paid $1500 for the lot. He stated that he has cleaned up the property which included a pool a neighbor had drug over to the land and a lot of old tires_ He stated that the City Mosquito Control was out to the properry and within the tires encephalitis was found. He stated thak the Ciry sprayed the lot last yeaz but they have not been out tlus year yet. He stated that he read in one of the letters of opposition the concem of day cazes in the area and stated that there aze gazages along the whole south side of the alley and he dcesn't believe his gazage would pose any more threat to the children then the gazages that are already there, Mr. 5cherman asked Mr. Swenson about the comment in one of the letters of opposition regazding the gazage being built so far away from his home. Mr. Swenson replied that the reason is the cost and he likes the privacy of the woods. File #97-093 Page Two Ms_ Maddox asked if the accessory building is on the lot line, Mr. Swenson replied yes. Mr. Alton stated that the neighbors feel Mr. Swenson may put in an illegal apartrnent or business into fhe building. Mr. Swenson replied that staff have put a condiuon onto the request that the building cannot be used for commercial purposes and he has no intent to do so. He stated that he owns a boat and snowmobiles and intends to buy a camper trailer to store there. Mr. Alton asked what utilities will be in the gazage. Mr. Swenson replied orily electricity which will be xuu off of the alley. Cliff Gebhazd, 2107 Margazet, stated he lives in the lot across the alley from where the proposed gazage will be. He stated that he is concemed a precedent may be set if this gazage is built, He �plained We long deep lots in the azea to the Boazd. The proposed gazage wouid be three city blocl:s away from the applicanYs home. He submitted a petition with 15 signatures in opposition to the Boazd. When the neighhorhood residents bought their land they were told that the azea behind them was unbuildable. I3e stated that he isn't in favor of a gazage being built on the lot without a home. Hany Mandicl:, 2111 Mazgazet Street, stated fhat the azea has changed a tot from when it was a wet mazshy area. 3M dvmped thousands of tons of fill and buried the wetland The neighbors have been sent notices regazding this land and the other surrounding lots throughout the years. Each time he has phoned the City when the notices were sent out and was told every time that the land was unbuildable unless Beech Street goes through. He was told that the land was landlocked. He questioned why the lot is being changed now. He stated that from his e�cperience when someone builds an extra lazge garage there is going to be more than the average amount of activity going on. Several nei„n.hbors have told him that Mr. Swenson is an auYo mechanic and he is concemed that they will have to put up with air wrenches and all the noise that gces along with auto mechanic work. He stated that zhe gazage will be 400 feet away from the applicant's home but only 40 feet from the residents on Mazgaret Street. He stated fhat the applicant already has a two-caz attached garage and he feels the size of the proposed gazage is the same size as most of the homes on Mazgazet Street. He is a&aid otl�er people wiIl buy the ta�c forfeited lots to buiId just a garage on them and then the area would be light indvstrial. � $helley Armstrong, 2100 Mazgaret Street, stated that the proposed gazage will be direcdy behind her home and she is a day caze provider. She sta[ed there is also another day caze grovider on the same block She stafed that Yhe gazage will bring more traffic into the azea and she is concemed of the wetfaze of fhe ciuldren. She stated that if there is an auto repair shop in the proposed garage she can foresee a lot of problems for the children in the area. Mr. Swenson stated that he has no pIans of wrenching in the gazage and the main purpose cvill be for storage and for his personal use. Aearing no further testimony, Ms. Maddox closed the public portion of the meeting. �' �9 Ll File #97-093 Page Tbree Mr. Donohue asked if the other adjoining pazcels aze tax forfeited land. Mr. Hazdwick replied that it is lus understanding that the pazcel unmediately to the west is owned also by the agplicant and he isn't sure of the other lots. Mr. Donohue asked why Beech Street was never developed. Mr. Hazdwick replied because it is a law lying wet swampy land azea. Mr. Alton asked if Beech Street were vacated the lot directly to the east and west of the subject properiy could never be developed unless there was a private roadway? Mr. Hazdwick replied that is correct and that in order to build a home on those lots you need to have frontage on a through street and access to uWifies. Mr. Tully moved to approve the variance and resolution based on findings 1 through 6 subject to the following conditions: 1) The gazage is not used for commercial purposes. 2) The applicant submits a petition £or vacating the Beech Street right-of-way within one year of this date. Mr. Scherman seconded the motion.

The third condition was accepted by Mr. Tully and ivTr. Scherman. The motion which passed on a roIl call vote of 5 to 2(Alton, Wilson}. Su mi,tted by: � �e � r �W J Hardwick ov by: r�� / i Tully, Secretazy .� CITY OF SAINT PAUL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS RESOLUTION ZONING FILE NUMBER 97-093 DATE May 19, 1997 WElEREAS, PAT SWENSON has applied for a variance from the strict application of the provisions of Section 62.104 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code pertaining to the construction of a detached gazage in the R-3 zoning district at 2100 MINNEHAHA AVENUE EAST; and WHEREAS, Yhe Saint Paul Boazd of Zoning Appeals conducted a public hearing on OS/OS/97, pursuant to said appeai in accordance with the requirements of Section 64.205 of the Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals based upon evidence presented at the public hearing, as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the foIlowing findings of fact: The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. Because of the tenain of the undeve[oped right-of-way, it is unlikely that the street will ever be put through. Without frontage on an improved street the lot in question would not be buildable due to lack of sewer and water utility access. 2. The plight of the land owner is due to c'ucumstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. The tenain of the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way and the lack of accessibility to utilities aze circumstances that were not created by the applicant. 3. Tfie proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and inteat of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the Ciry of St. �auI. Since it is untikely that Beech Street will ever be developed in this block, a reasonable use of this property would be for accessory uses to the residences along East Mmnehaha Avenue. The applicant states that he intends to petition to have the right-of-way vacated. If successful, this wouid make the applicanYs principal residence and the subject property a contiguous parcet aad would eliminate the need for a variance. 4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light an@ air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character oFthe surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. ��'�� Fi1e #97-093 Page Two This is a relatively large parcel of land and, with adequate setbacks, can accommodate a 27 by 36 foot garage without adversely affecting the character of the surrounding azea or the supply of light and air to the ad,}acent property. As with aii large garages, there is a concern that the building may eventually be used for commercial purposes. However, this can be addressed with a condition on the variance that the garage is not to be used for commercial purposes. 5. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is nat pernutted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the affected land is located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classification of the property. The proposed variance, if granted, would not change or alter the zoning classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not hased primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. NOW, TF�REFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals that the provisions of Section 62.104 be hereby waived to allow a variance to allow construction of an accessory building on a zoning lot other than the lot of the principai residence subject to the following conditions: 1) The garage is not used for commercial purposes; and 2) The applicant submits a petition for vacating ihe Beech Street right-of-way within one year of this date; and 3) That the proposed garage is constructed as shown on the architectural drawing submitted with this applicatioq on property located at 2100 MII3NEHAHA AVENCTE EAST and legaily described as Registered Land Survey 452, Tract A and Subject to atley; part lying E of Ext WI of Tract D& lying W of Ext EL of Tract E, RLS # 452 of Tract J in SD RLS # 82, PIN`s 352922120110 & 352922120118; in accordance witH the application for variance and tlre sfte plan on file with the Zoning Administrator.

Mr. Swenson wants to build a sizable garage three city lots away from his house on the wooded property he has obtained. The homeowners of Margazet Street are, as you know, opposed to the variance that was granted to Mr. Swenson on May 5, 1997. Many of the concerns we have are justifiable. One of the reasons this neighborhood is so attractive was because of the wonderful condition all of the houses, yards and nearby woods. Our neighborhood is clean, quiet and has relatively no traffic in the alley. These are some of the reasons we Iiked the neighborhood so well. It's like being up at a cabin all year round. It was never mentioned in the May S, 1997, hearing that there are a tota] of 1 S children that live and play in the Margaret Street alley. ThaY s not including the children from the local day cares that are old enough to play with the neighborhood children. That's a very high number of children that use the alley everyday. I'm speaking for all the residents when I say we would rather have all the c}nldren play out back in the alley instead of Margaret Street. With the approval of the Board ofZoning Appeals, Mr. Swenson's proposed garage woui� i:n.�r:er.sel-y :ncrzase t::� �olu:r.e cftrz:�� .: o:;: alley. As it stzr.ds, trai:�c i: t?�e alley is almost nothing as the Margaret Street residents are the only people who use it, and we all know the children are there. The entrances to the alley are barely visible from Margaret Street as the look like someone's driveway. �i�1- P� Page 2 Another concern we have is the impact Mr. Swenson's proposed garage would have on the woods. The woods is a ratural wetland with many kinds of wildiife. A garage would greatly d'uninish the beauty of the woods and would disturb the many creatures that live Yhere, as the woods have been untouched for many years. Margazet Street residents, we think, have a lot to lose ifthis garage is allowed to be built. We all have been enjoying the a beautiful woods from the backs of our homes. We do not want to look out and see a nasty scene that could well include junk cars, trucks and whatever else Mr. Swenson might choose to store on this site. Once one garage is allowed to be built we are worried that everyone is going to want to build some kind of buildin� in the woods and it will, in time, become a junk pile. We are worried our home values will decrease if Mr. Swenson or anyone else is allowed to build in the woods. It would look like a salvage yard by time everyone built, used and stored belongings in and around their garages. I would also like to mention that Mr. Swenson has been letting his neighbors, on Minnehaha Avenue, use his land to drive up to their houses from the alley, which I have seen on numerous occasions. We feel it's not just going to be a garage, it's going to be everyone from Minnehaha bringing in more traffic and noise into our backyards. I would like to see Mr. Swenson build his garage up by his house. He has enough room there to build his garage He does not need to destroy our woods and our peace and quiet in order to have a garage to store his belongings in. Ms. Anderson, please talce into consideration all of the above and let us keep our neighborhood just as it is. I can't tell you how much this decision will impact all of our lives. We are a neighborhood joining together for a good cause to maintain the beauty and tranquillity of our woods and our alley. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

DATE RECEIVED: 04/14/97 DEADLINE FOR ACfiION: 06/13/97 A. PiTRPOSE: The appiicant is proposing to build a garage on a vacant lot separated from the loT on which his house is located by an undeveloped sYreet right-of-way. B. ACTTON REQUESTED: A variance to allow construction of an accessory building on a zoning Iot other than the lot of the principal residence. C. SITE AND AREA CONDTITONS: The subject properry is a 100 by 14Q foot vacant parcel that fronts on the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way. The right-of-way to the east ofthis lot is a low lying wetiand area. The only access to ttus lot is through the alley between Beech Street and Margaret Street or ttuough the applicant's properiy at 2I00 East Minnehaha Avenue. Surrounding Land Use: Primarily single family homes along East Minnehaha and Margaret Streets. The adjoining lots that front on the undeveioped Beech Street aze vacant. D. BACKGROUND: The applicant recently pwchased tlus taac forfeit lot with the intention of constmcring a garage to store a camper trailer he plans on purchasing. E. FINDINGS: The properiy in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. q'l -�`f y File #97-093 Page Two Because of the terrain of the undeveloped right-of-way, it is unlikely that the street will ever be put through. Without frontage on an improved street the lot in question would not be buildable due to lack of sewer and water utility access. 2. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. The terrain of the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way and the lack of accessibility to utilities are circumstances that were not created by the applicant. 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul. Since it is unlikely that Beech Street will ever be developed in this block, a reasonable use of this property would be for accessory uses to the residences along East Minnehaha Avenue. The applicant states that he intends to petition to have the right-of-way vacated. If successful, this would make the appiicant's principal residence and the subject property a contiguous parcel and would eliminate the need for a variance. 4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the sunounding area. This is a relatively large parcel of land and, with adequate setbacks, can accommodate a 27 by 36 foot garage without adversely affecting the chazacter of the sunounding area or the supply of light and air to the ad}acent property. -- As with ail large garages, there is a concem that the building may eventually be used for commercial purposes. However, this can be addressed with a condition on the variance that the garage is not to be used for commercial purposes. 5. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is not permitted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the affected land is located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classification of the property. File #97-093 Page Three The proposed variance, if granted, would not change or alter the zorring classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the pazcel of land. F. DISTRICT COUNCIL, RECOMMENDATION: A.s of the date of this report we have not received a recommendation from District I. G. STAFF RECOMII�NDATION: Based on findings 1 through 6, staff recommends approval of the variance subject to the foilowing conditions: 1) The garage is not used For commercial purposes. 2) The applicant subm�ts a petition for vacating the Beech Sueet right- of-way within one yeaz of tlus date. � J �,e:, � A�1 B LC �__ =-_ --,�_- =�J ` -, z , „o. },- �'l - �a �j �;<� �i �a22. - � tR� �'_"—' i � �_, �,� _26_W DIV _�SB8F0 _: �•� uabtJs t,ope� Z �,3Q�c. 4 � ST• �� To fia) J (29)"� <30) i o �o ;o ; m � � � ; � ; � N P ;14 cui 1 ; 7 � � , � � � MS � 20i9 �w ui � w � � o � !�i � ?.�l , nL4EY f� �s ' � —�—% �---� r �-----' 9-20-W <�2j (�3) Z�21 2��1 211T s2• a� � --„----r---- --� �---' �---- :�� , � i r � � � I APPLICANT � <-�i !"�� LEGEND • PURPOSE_1111')b r� f I(1 1� t.e ��. zoning district boundary FIIE tt- J 7 D�I� DATE •'>' �' 9�I � subjed property n� orth� PtiJG.

ABSEI3T None The meeting was chaired by Joyce Maddox, Chair. PAT SWENSON {#97-093) - 2100 MINNEHAHA AVENiTS EAST: A variance to allow construction of a garage for 2100 Minnehaha Ave. E. on a wning lot other than the lot of the principal residence. The applicant was present. There was opposition present at the hearing. Mr. Hazdwick showed slides of the site and reviewed the staff report with a recommendation for approval subject to the following conditions: 1) The gazage is not used for commercial purposes. 2) The applicant submits a petition for vacating the Beech 5treet right-of-way within one yeaz of tivs date. Two letters were received in opposition regarding the variance request. Pat Swenson, 2100 Minnehaha Avenue, stated he has cleazed the lot already and he is ]eaving a 3Q-foot setback from the alley. He stated that although that will cost him more for a driveway and he feit it was worth it to retain the woods as much as he could. He submitted a petition of support to the Boazd from neighboring residents. He pwchased the property from tax forfeited land at a pubiic hearing at which all the neighboring residents were informed of. Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Swenson if he has made any attempt in vacating Beech Street. Mr. Swenson replied that he had attempted to but there is so much property adjacent to it that is tax forfeited land. Ae was told that in addition to the $ lOQ ftiing fee and the $500 completion fee he would have to provide a legal description of all the properties surrounding Beech Street which gces down the entire block. He spoke to the tteighbors and they azen't interested in gaining 20 feet on tfie back of their properry. TaY forfeited ia� doesn't want aziy more land but would rather have the City pay the taxes for the right-of-way. He staked it would be a substantial cost for him to vacate the street and he only paid $1500 for the lot. He stated that he has cleaned up the property which included a pool a neighbor had drug over to the land and a lot of old tires_ He stated that the City Mosquito Control was out to the properry and within the tires encephalitis was found. He stated thak the Ciry sprayed the lot last yeaz but they have not been out tlus year yet. He stated that he read in one of the letters of opposition the concem of day cazes in the area and stated that there aze gazages along the whole south side of the alley and he dcesn't believe his gazage would pose any more threat to the children then the gazages that are already there, Mr. 5cherman asked Mr. Swenson about the comment in one of the letters of opposition regazding the gazage being built so far away from his home. Mr. Swenson replied that the reason is the cost and he likes the privacy of the woods. File #97-093 Page Two Ms_ Maddox asked if the accessory building is on the lot line, Mr. Swenson replied yes. Mr. Alton stated that the neighbors feel Mr. Swenson may put in an illegal apartrnent or business into fhe building. Mr. Swenson replied that staff have put a condiuon onto the request that the building cannot be used for commercial purposes and he has no intent to do so. He stated that he owns a boat and snowmobiles and intends to buy a camper trailer to store there. Mr. Alton asked what utilities will be in the gazage. Mr. Swenson replied orily electricity which will be xuu off of the alley. Cliff Gebhazd, 2107 Margazet, stated he lives in the lot across the alley from where the proposed gazage will be. He stated that he is concemed a precedent may be set if this gazage is built, He �plained We long deep lots in the azea to the Boazd. The proposed gazage wouid be three city blocl:s away from the applicanYs home. He submitted a petition with 15 signatures in opposition to the Boazd. When the neighhorhood residents bought their land they were told that the azea behind them was unbuildable. I3e stated that he isn't in favor of a gazage being built on the lot without a home. Hany Mandicl:, 2111 Mazgazet Street, stated fhat the azea has changed a tot from when it was a wet mazshy area. 3M dvmped thousands of tons of fill and buried the wetland The neighbors have been sent notices regazding this land and the other surrounding lots throughout the years. Each time he has phoned the City when the notices were sent out and was told every time that the land was unbuildable unless Beech Street goes through. He was told that the land was landlocked. He questioned why the lot is being changed now. He stated that from his e�cperience when someone builds an extra lazge garage there is going to be more than the average amount of activity going on. Several nei„n.hbors have told him that Mr. Swenson is an auYo mechanic and he is concemed that they will have to put up with air wrenches and all the noise that gces along with auto mechanic work. He stated that zhe gazage will be 400 feet away from the applicant's home but only 40 feet from the residents on Mazgaret Street. He stated fhat the applicant already has a two-caz attached garage and he feels the size of the proposed gazage is the same size as most of the homes on Mazgazet Street. He is a&aid otl�er people wiIl buy the ta�c forfeited lots to buiId just a garage on them and then the area would be light indvstrial. � $helley Armstrong, 2100 Mazgaret Street, stated that the proposed gazage will be direcdy behind her home and she is a day caze provider. She sta[ed there is also another day caze grovider on the same block She stafed that Yhe gazage will bring more traffic into the azea and she is concemed of the wetfaze of fhe ciuldren. She stated that if there is an auto repair shop in the proposed garage she can foresee a lot of problems for the children in the area. Mr. Swenson stated that he has no pIans of wrenching in the gazage and the main purpose cvill be for storage and for his personal use. Aearing no further testimony, Ms. Maddox closed the public portion of the meeting. �' �9 Ll File #97-093 Page Tbree Mr. Donohue asked if the other adjoining pazcels aze tax forfeited land. Mr. Hazdwick replied that it is lus understanding that the pazcel unmediately to the west is owned also by the agplicant and he isn't sure of the other lots. Mr. Donohue asked why Beech Street was never developed. Mr. Hazdwick replied because it is a law lying wet swampy land azea. Mr. Alton asked if Beech Street were vacated the lot directly to the east and west of the subject properiy could never be developed unless there was a private roadway? Mr. Hazdwick replied that is correct and that in order to build a home on those lots you need to have frontage on a through street and access to uWifies. Mr. Tully moved to approve the variance and resolution based on findings 1 through 6 subject to the following conditions: 1) The gazage is not used for commercial purposes. 2) The applicant submits a petition £or vacating the Beech Street right-of-way within one year of this date. Mr. Scherman seconded the motion. Mr. Alton stated he isn't sure if this variance should be granted or not but he would not be in favcr of it unless an additional condition were placed on it that the gazage be built in substantial accordance with the plan as submitted. The third condition was accepted by Mr. Tully and ivTr. Scherman. The motion which passed on a roIl call vote of 5 to 2(Alton, Wilson}.

Because of the tenain of the undeve[oped right-of-way, it is unlikely that the street will ever be put through. Without frontage on an improved street the lot in question would not be buildable due to lack of sewer and water utility access. 2. The plight of the land owner is due to c'ucumstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. The tenain of the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way and the lack of accessibility to utilities aze circumstances that were not created by the applicant. 3. Tfie proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and inteat of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the Ciry of St. �auI. Since it is untikely that Beech Street will ever be developed in this block, a reasonable use of this property would be for accessory uses to the residences along East Mmnehaha Avenue. The applicant states that he intends to petition to have the right-of-way vacated. If successful, this wouid make the applicanYs principal residence and the subject property a contiguous parcet aad would eliminate the need for a variance. 4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light an@ air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character oFthe surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. ��'�� Fi1e #97-093 Page Two This is a relatively large parcel of land and, with adequate setbacks, can accommodate a 27 by 36 foot garage without adversely affecting the character of the surrounding azea or the supply of light and air to the ad,}acent property. As with aii large garages, there is a concern that the building may eventually be used for commercial purposes. However, this can be addressed with a condition on the variance that the garage is not to be used for commercial purposes. 5. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is nat pernutted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the affected land is located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classification of the property. The proposed variance, if granted, would not change or alter the zoning classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not hased primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. NOW, TF�REFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals that the provisions of Section 62.104 be hereby waived to allow a variance to allow construction of an accessory building on a zoning lot other than the lot of the principai residence subject to the following conditions: 1) The garage is not used for commercial purposes; and 2) The applicant submits a petition for vacating ihe Beech Street right-of-way within one year of this date; and 3) That the proposed garage is constructed as shown on the architectural drawing submitted with this applicatioq on property located at 2100 MII3NEHAHA AVENCTE EAST and legaily described as Registered Land Survey 452, Tract A and Subject to atley; part lying E of Ext WI of Tract D& lying W of Ext EL of Tract E, RLS # 452 of Tract J in SD RLS # 82, PIN`s 352922120110 & 352922120118; in accordance witH the application for variance and tlre sfte plan on file with the Zoning Administrator.

Mr. Swenson wants to build a sizable garage three city lots away from his house on the wooded property he has obtained. The homeowners of Margazet Street are, as you know, opposed to the variance that was granted to Mr. Swenson on May 5, 1997. Many of the concerns we have are justifiable. One of the reasons this neighborhood is so attractive was because of the wonderful condition all of the houses, yards and nearby woods. Our neighborhood is clean, quiet and has relatively no traffic in the alley. These are some of the reasons we Iiked the neighborhood so well. It's like being up at a cabin all year round. It was never mentioned in the May S, 1997, hearing that there are a tota] of 1 S children that live and play in the Margaret Street alley. ThaY s not including the children from the local day cares that are old enough to play with the neighborhood children. That's a very high number of children that use the alley everyday. I'm speaking for all the residents when I say we would rather have all the c}nldren play out back in the alley instead of Margaret Street. With the approval of the Board ofZoning Appeals, Mr. Swenson's proposed garage woui� i:n.�r:er.sel-y :ncrzase t::� �olu:r.e cftrz:�� .: o:;: alley. As it stzr.ds, trai:�c i: t?�e alley is almost nothing as the Margaret Street residents are the only people who use it, and we all know the children are there. The entrances to the alley are barely visible from Margaret Street as the look like someone's driveway. �i�1- P� Page 2 Another concern we have is the impact Mr. Swenson's proposed garage would have on the woods. The woods is a ratural wetland with many kinds of wildiife. A garage would greatly d'uninish the beauty of the woods and would disturb the many creatures that live Yhere, as the woods have been untouched for many years. Margazet Street residents, we think, have a lot to lose ifthis garage is allowed to be built. We all have been enjoying the a beautiful woods from the backs of our homes. We do not want to look out and see a nasty scene that could well include junk cars, trucks and whatever else Mr. Swenson might choose to store on this site. Once one garage is allowed to be built we are worried that everyone is going to want to build some kind of buildin� in the woods and it will, in time, become a junk pile. We are worried our home values will decrease if Mr. Swenson or anyone else is allowed to build in the woods. It would look like a salvage yard by time everyone built, used and stored belongings in and around their garages. I would also like to mention that Mr. Swenson has been letting his neighbors, on Minnehaha Avenue, use his land to drive up to their houses from the alley, which I have seen on numerous occasions. We feel it's not just going to be a garage, it's going to be everyone from Minnehaha bringing in more traffic and noise into our backyards. I would like to see Mr. Swenson build his garage up by his house. He has enough room there to build his garage He does not need to destroy our woods and our peace and quiet in order to have a garage to store his belongings in.

DATE RECEIVED: 04/14/97 DEADLINE FOR ACfiION: 06/13/97 A. PiTRPOSE: The appiicant is proposing to build a garage on a vacant lot separated from the loT on which his house is located by an undeveloped sYreet right-of-way. B. ACTTON REQUESTED: A variance to allow construction of an accessory building on a zoning Iot other than the lot of the principal residence. C. SITE AND AREA CONDTITONS: The subject properry is a 100 by 14Q foot vacant parcel that fronts on the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way. The right-of-way to the east ofthis lot is a low lying wetiand area. The only access to ttus lot is through the alley between Beech Street and Margaret Street or ttuough the applicant's properiy at 2I00 East Minnehaha Avenue. Surrounding Land Use: Primarily single family homes along East Minnehaha and Margaret Streets. The adjoining lots that front on the undeveioped Beech Street aze vacant. D. BACKGROUND: The applicant recently pwchased tlus taac forfeit lot with the intention of constmcring a garage to store a camper trailer he plans on purchasing. E. FINDINGS: The properiy in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. q'l -�`f y File #97-093 Page Two Because of the terrain of the undeveloped right-of-way, it is unlikely that the street will ever be put through. Without frontage on an improved street the lot in question would not be buildable due to lack of sewer and water utility access. 2. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. The terrain of the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way and the lack of accessibility to utilities are circumstances that were not created by the applicant. 3. The proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the City of St. Paul. Since it is unlikely that Beech Street will ever be developed in this block, a reasonable use of this property would be for accessory uses to the residences along East Minnehaha Avenue. The applicant states that he intends to petition to have the right-of-way vacated. If successful, this would make the appiicant's principal residence and the subject property a contiguous parcel and would eliminate the need for a variance. 4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character of the surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the sunounding area. This is a relatively large parcel of land and, with adequate setbacks, can accommodate a 27 by 36 foot garage without adversely affecting the chazacter of the sunounding area or the supply of light and air to the ad}acent property. -- As with ail large garages, there is a concem that the building may eventually be used for commercial purposes. However, this can be addressed with a condition on the variance that the garage is not to be used for commercial purposes. 5. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is not permitted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the affected land is located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classification of the property. File #97-093 Page Three The proposed variance, if granted, would not change or alter the zorring classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not based primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the pazcel of land. F. DISTRICT COUNCIL, RECOMMENDATION: A.s of the date of this report we have not received a recommendation from District I. G. STAFF RECOMII�NDATION: Based on findings 1 through 6, staff recommends approval of the variance subject to the foilowing conditions: 1) The garage is not used For commercial purposes. 2) The applicant subm�ts a petition for vacating the Beech Sueet right- of-way within one yeaz of tlus date. � J �,e:, � A�1 B LC �__ =-_ --,�_- =�J ` -, z , „o. },- �'l - �a �j �;<� �i �a22. - � tR� �'_"—' i � �_, �,� _26_W DIV _�SB8F0 _: �•� uabtJs t,ope� Z �,3Q�c. 4 � ST• �� To fia) J (29)"� <30) i o �o ;o ; m � � � ; � ; � N P ;14 cui 1 ; 7 � � , � � � MS � 20i9 �w ui � w � � o � !�i � ?.�l , nL4EY f� �s ' � —�—% �---� r �-----' 9-20-W <�2j (�3) Z�21 2��1 211T s2• a� � --„----r---- --� �---' �---- :�� , � i r � � � I APPLICANT � <-�i !"�� LEGEND • PURPOSE_1111')b r� f I(1 1� t.e ��. zoning district boundary FIIE tt- J 7 D�I� DATE •'>' �' 9�I � subjed property n� orth� PtiJG.

The applicant was present. There was opposition present at the hearing. Mr. Hazdwick showed slides of the site and reviewed the staff report with a recommendation for approval subject to the following conditions: 1) The gazage is not used for commercial purposes. 2) The applicant submits a petition for vacating the Beech 5treet right-of-way within one yeaz of tivs date. Two letters were received in opposition regarding the variance request. Pat Swenson, 2100 Minnehaha Avenue, stated he has cleazed the lot already and he is ]eaving a 3Q-foot setback from the alley. He stated that although that will cost him more for a driveway and he feit it was worth it to retain the woods as much as he could. He submitted a petition of support to the Boazd from neighboring residents. He pwchased the property from tax forfeited land at a pubiic hearing at which all the neighboring residents were informed of. Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Swenson if he has made any attempt in vacating Beech Street. Mr. Swenson replied that he had attempted to but there is so much property adjacent to it that is tax forfeited land. Ae was told that in addition to the $ lOQ ftiing fee and the $500 completion fee he would have to provide a legal description of all the properties surrounding Beech Street which gces down the entire block. He spoke to the tteighbors and they azen't interested in gaining 20 feet on tfie back of their properry. TaY forfeited ia� doesn't want aziy more land but would rather have the City pay the taxes for the right-of-way. He staked it would be a substantial cost for him to vacate the street and he only paid $1500 for the lot. He stated that he has cleaned up the property which included a pool a neighbor had drug over to the land and a lot of old tires_ He stated that the City Mosquito Control was out to the properry and within the tires encephalitis was found. He stated thak the Ciry sprayed the lot last yeaz but they have not been out tlus year yet. He stated that he read in one of the letters of opposition the concem of day cazes in the area and stated that there aze gazages along the whole south side of the alley and he dcesn't believe his gazage would pose any more threat to the children then the gazages that are already there, Mr. 5cherman asked Mr. Swenson about the comment in one of the letters of opposition regazding the gazage being built so far away from his home. Mr. Swenson replied that the reason is the cost and he likes the privacy of the woods. File #97-093 Page Two Ms_ Maddox asked if the accessory building is on the lot line, Mr. Swenson replied yes. Mr. Alton stated that the neighbors feel Mr. Swenson may put in an illegal apartrnent or business into fhe building. Mr. Swenson replied that staff have put a condiuon onto the request that the building cannot be used for commercial purposes and he has no intent to do so. He stated that he owns a boat and snowmobiles and intends to buy a camper trailer to store there. Mr. Alton asked what utilities will be in the gazage. Mr. Swenson replied orily electricity which will be xuu off of the alley. Cliff Gebhazd, 2107 Margazet, stated he lives in the lot across the alley from where the proposed gazage will be. He stated that he is concemed a precedent may be set if this gazage is built, He �plained We long deep lots in the azea to the Boazd. The proposed gazage wouid be three city blocl:s away from the applicanYs home. He submitted a petition with 15 signatures in opposition to the Boazd. When the neighhorhood residents bought their land they were told that the azea behind them was unbuildable. I3e stated that he isn't in favor of a gazage being built on the lot without a home. Hany Mandicl:, 2111 Mazgazet Street, stated fhat the azea has changed a tot from when it was a wet mazshy area. 3M dvmped thousands of tons of fill and buried the wetland The neighbors have been sent notices regazding this land and the other surrounding lots throughout the years. Each time he has phoned the City when the notices were sent out and was told every time that the land was unbuildable unless Beech Street goes through. He was told that the land was landlocked. He questioned why the lot is being changed now. He stated that from his e�cperience when someone builds an extra lazge garage there is going to be more than the average amount of activity going on. Several nei„n.hbors have told him that Mr. Swenson is an auYo mechanic and he is concemed that they will have to put up with air wrenches and all the noise that gces along with auto mechanic work. He stated that zhe gazage will be 400 feet away from the applicant's home but only 40 feet from the residents on Mazgaret Street. He stated fhat the applicant already has a two-caz attached garage and he feels the size of the proposed gazage is the same size as most of the homes on Mazgazet Street. He is a&aid otl�er people wiIl buy the ta�c forfeited lots to buiId just a garage on them and then the area would be light indvstrial. � $helley Armstrong, 2100 Mazgaret Street, stated that the proposed gazage will be direcdy behind her home and she is a day caze provider. She sta[ed there is also another day caze grovider on the same block She stafed that Yhe gazage will bring more traffic into the azea and she is concemed of the wetfaze of fhe ciuldren. She stated that if there is an auto repair shop in the proposed garage she can foresee a lot of problems for the children in the area. Mr. Swenson stated that he has no pIans of wrenching in the gazage and the main purpose cvill be for storage and for his personal use. Aearing no further testimony, Ms. Maddox closed the public portion of the meeting. �' �9 Ll File #97-093 Page Tbree Mr. Donohue asked if the other adjoining pazcels aze tax forfeited land. Mr. Hazdwick replied that it is lus understanding that the pazcel unmediately to the west is owned also by the agplicant and he isn't sure of the other lots. Mr. Donohue asked why Beech Street was never developed. Mr. Hazdwick replied because it is a law lying wet swampy land azea. Mr. Alton asked if Beech Street were vacated the lot directly to the east and west of the subject properiy could never be developed unless there was a private roadway? Mr. Hazdwick replied that is correct and that in order to build a home on those lots you need to have frontage on a through street and access to uWifies. Mr. Tully moved to approve the variance and resolution based on findings 1 through 6 subject to the following conditions: 1) The gazage is not used for commercial purposes. 2) The applicant submits a petition £or vacating the Beech Street right-of-way within one year of this date. Mr. Scherman seconded the motion.

The third condition was accepted by Mr. Tully and ivTr. Scherman. The motion which passed on a roIl call vote of 5 to 2(Alton, Wilson}. Su mi,tted by: � �e � r �W J Hardwick ov by: r�� / i Tully, Secretazy .� CITY OF SAINT PAUL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS RESOLUTION ZONING FILE NUMBER 97-093 DATE May 19, 1997 WElEREAS, PAT SWENSON has applied for a variance from the strict application of the provisions of Section 62.104 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code pertaining to the construction of a detached gazage in the R-3 zoning district at 2100 MINNEHAHA AVENUE EAST; and WHEREAS, Yhe Saint Paul Boazd of Zoning Appeals conducted a public hearing on OS/OS/97, pursuant to said appeai in accordance with the requirements of Section 64.205 of the Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals based upon evidence presented at the public hearing, as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the foIlowing findings of fact: The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the strict provisions of the code. Because of the tenain of the undeve[oped right-of-way, it is unlikely that the street will ever be put through. Without frontage on an improved street the lot in question would not be buildable due to lack of sewer and water utility access. 2. The plight of the land owner is due to c'ucumstances unique to this property, and these circumstances were not created by the land owner. The tenain of the undeveloped Beech Street right-of-way and the lack of accessibility to utilities aze circumstances that were not created by the applicant. 3. Tfie proposed variance is in keeping with the spirit and inteat of the code, and is consistent with the health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of the inhabitants of the Ciry of St. �auI. Since it is untikely that Beech Street will ever be developed in this block, a reasonable use of this property would be for accessory uses to the residences along East Mmnehaha Avenue. The applicant states that he intends to petition to have the right-of-way vacated. If successful, this wouid make the applicanYs principal residence and the subject property a contiguous parcet aad would eliminate the need for a variance. 4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light an@ air to adjacent property, nor will it alter the essential character oFthe surrounding area or unreasonably diminish established property values within the surrounding area. ��'�� Fi1e #97-093 Page Two This is a relatively large parcel of land and, with adequate setbacks, can accommodate a 27 by 36 foot garage without adversely affecting the character of the surrounding azea or the supply of light and air to the ad,}acent property. As with aii large garages, there is a concern that the building may eventually be used for commercial purposes. However, this can be addressed with a condition on the variance that the garage is not to be used for commercial purposes. 5. The variance, if granted, would not permit any use that is nat pernutted under the provisions of the code for the property in the district where the affected land is located, nor would it alter or change the zoning district classification of the property. The proposed variance, if granted, would not change or alter the zoning classification of the property. 6. The request for variance is not hased primarily on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. NOW, TF�REFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Board of Zoning Appeals that the provisions of Section 62.104 be hereby waived to allow a variance to allow construction of an accessory building on a zoning lot other than the lot of the principai residence subject to the following conditions: 1) The garage is not used for commercial purposes; and 2) The applicant submits a petition for vacating ihe Beech Street right-of-way within one year of this date; and 3) That the proposed garage is constructed as shown on the architectural drawing submitted with this applicatioq on property located at 2100 MII3NEHAHA AVENCTE EAST and legaily described as Registered Land Survey 452, Tract A and Subject to atley; part lying E of Ext WI of Tract D& lying W of Ext EL of Tract E, RLS # 452 of Tract J in SD RLS # 82, PIN`s 352922120110 & 352922120118; in accordance witH the application for variance and tlre sfte plan on file with the Zoning Administrator.
