RESOLUTION
OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA
Preaented
Referred To Committee: Date
RESOLUTION ON NONCONFORMING COMMERCIAL PARKING
AND GRAND AVENUE PARKING ISSUES
WHEREAS, the Council held a public hearing to consider the petition of First
Bank Grand, 1071 Grand Avenue, for rezoning of the parking lot on the north
(residential) side of the alley from R-2 to P-1 on April 4, 1991; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the proposed rezoning
because the comprehensive plan states the alley line should be the boundary
between commercial and residential use; and
WHEREAS, at the request of the Council, a task force studied the proposed
rezoning in relation to broader parking problems at Grand and Lexington and
reported back to the Council on July 9, 1991, with recommendations to
implement several parking proposals for Grand and Lexington and to create a
new parking task force further east on Grand between Dale and Milton; and
WHEREAS, the task force recommends an alternative to rezoning in which the
bank lot would become a legal nonconforming use for ten years and then be
rejoined to the residential lot on Summit Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney's Office finds no clear authority in the zoning
code to approve a nonconforming use on an unbuilt parcel after ten years of
use, comparable to this authority for a nonconforming use of a building; and
WHEREAS, the task force's proposal should be evaluated by the Planning
Commission for its relationship to citywide zoning and land use policy;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLV.ED, that the City Council hereby initiates the
small, nonconforming commercial parking lot zoning study and asks the Planning
Commission to make a recommendation on the proposal of the Grand-Lexington
Parking Task Force; �rft
FURTHER RESOLVED, that, if in due course the zoning code is amended as
recommended, First Bank Grand may apply for a legal nonconforming use permit
without paying another application fee beyond the rezoning application fee,
and that the rezoning petition submitted by the bank will satisfy any similar
petition requirement that may by adopted as part of the nonconforming use
application; and
�RIG��� (,�9�y���
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council requests the Planning Commission to
, make its recommendations on this matter within 90 days.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council requests that PED and Public Works
staff be assigned to support implementation of the parking recommendations for
Grand and Lexington; and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council requests the Summit Hill
Association/District 16 to create another parking task force to address the
parking problems along Grand Avenue between Dale and Milton Streets.

RE: Recommendations of the Grand-Lexington Parking Task Force
(First Bank Grand's Rezoning for Alley Parking Lot, July 9 Council
Agenda, item S1)
,��v
On April 4, 1991, the City Council held a public hearing to consider rezoning �.
First Bank Grand's parking lot on the north (residential) side of the alley.
The Council laid the matter over to July 9 and asked me to work with the
affected groups to see if solutions to the parking dispute could be found by
broadening the scope to the whole Grand-Lexington commercial area. The bank,
Grand Avenue Business Association (GABA) , Summit Avenue Residential
Preservation Association (SARPA) , District 16 and PED quickly established a
task force that has met at least once a week since mid-April.
General Task Force Recommendations
The Grand-Lexington Parking Task Force recommends that the City Council take
four actions on July 9, as follows:
1. Lay the First Bank Grand rezoning petition over indefinitely, with the
understanding that First Bank Grand will withdraw the rezoning application
at such time as a legal nonconforming use permit is issued by the city
allowing the lot to continue for a period of ten years.
2. Initiate a zoning text amendment to allow the bank lot to become a legal
nonconforming use.
3. Request that PED and Public Works staff be assigned to work with a Grand-
Lexington implementation group, made up primarily of neighborhood
businesses and GABA, but also with SARPA and Summit Hill Association
representatives. To implement the off-street recommendations, the group
should work with PED to develop an application for funds the Council has
already earmarked under the Neighborhood Commercial Parking Program. To
implement the on-street recommendations, the group should work with the
Public Works staff and use existing budgets for street parking signage.
4. Request that the Summit Hill Association/District 16 create another
parking task force with PED staff support to address problems and
opportunities along the stretch of Grand Avenue from Dale to Milton, where
1

President and Members of City Council

the parking shortage for Victoria Crossing has been compounded recently
by the success of Lyon's Pub. The composition of this new task force
should be similar to the Grand-Lexington Parking Task Force.

1. Vern Wilcox 9. Ray DiBlasio
2. Jim Rouleau (for Pat Crowns) 10. Marianne Costanzi

7. Judith Benton
8. Chris Trost (staff)
In addition, Councilmember Thune or Chuck Repke attended a majority of the
task force meetings, as well as the two public meetings.
Task Force Process
Participation by all of the groups was excellent. Working relations among the
13 task force members are good and cordial. People feel that this
concentrated effort is creating solutions that may help with commercial
parking problems elsewhere in the city as well as at Grand and Lexington.
Task force members met with many of the business owners in the area and the
boards of the organizations. The task force held two general neighborhood
meetings to get comments on the preliminary alternatives and then on the draft
recommendations.
This task force has demonstrated the value of face-to-face working sessions
with city staff support as a means for resolving parking differences between
neighborhood businesses and residents.
Task Force Goals
Although individual members expressed other goals, task force members achieved
consensus on the following five goals:
1. Develop both short-range and long-range parking solutions.
2. Provide customer parking nearby and perhaps relocate employee parking
farther away.
3. Adhere to adopted city plans for residential preservation and quality
shopping with regional drawing power.
4. Strengthen the sense of responsibility for improving parking on the part
2
, (;,���-�z7 �
President and Members of City Council
July 8, 1991
of those who are short of off-street parking.
5. Strengthen on-going working relations between the business and
residential communities along Grand Avenue.
Data Gathering�and Analvsis
PED did a parking supply and demand analysis comparing existing parking to
zoning standards. The two-block stretch of Grand (half a block west of
Lexington to half a block east of Oxford) has about 570 parking spaces, both
on-street and off-street. The deficiency of around 100 spaces is between 11
and 19 percent, depending on whether you use the current zoning standards or
the proposed (generally lower) zoning standards under consideration by the
Housing and Economic Development Committee of the Council.
GABA surveyed employers to find out how many employees drive to work and where
they park. 223 employees drive cars and work during peak hours, of whom 150
park off-street and 86 park on-street. Approximately 37 park on Grand Avenue
itself.
Summaries of the survey results are attached, and the full results are
available from the Planning and Design Division.
Bank Lot Rezonine
The bank, SARPA and the Summit Hill Association/District 16 have worked out a
framework for selling the alley parking lot back to the residential property
wner at 1082 Summit Avenue within ten years. Phasing out the alley lot over
a nwnber of years seems feasible to the bank because of industry trends toward
drive-through, mail-in and electronic banking, even though these trends are
not yet evident at First Bank Grand.
The phase-out would require the City to create a means to legalize the lot
under the zoning code without rezoning to P-1. A rezoning cannot have a
sunset condition, whereas other zoning permits can. PED recommends, after
discussion with the City Attorney's Office, that the code be amended to allow
commercial parking lots located in residential zoning districts to apply for
legal nonconforming use status under the following circumstances:
1. The commercial parking lot has been paved and maintained for at least
ten years.
2. The parking lot occupies a legally subdivided parcel that is too small
for housing development and has not been owned by an adjoining
residential property owner for at least ten years.
3. The parking lot abuts the commercial property that it serves.
4. A petition is submitted signed by two-thirds of the propety owners
within 100 feet saying they support continuation of the parking lot.
A Council Resolution to initiate this text amendment is attached. It provides
3
�fi.-,a��
President and Members of City Council
July 8, 1991
that, if the amendment is adopted, the application fee for First Bank Grand to
have its lot considered for nonconforming use status will be waived by the
city and that their rezoning petition will be accepted as the equivalent of a
nonconforming use petition. '
The bank has agreed to phasing out their alley lot within the context of the
parking recommendations for the Grand-Lexington area. Although the phase-out
is not legally contingent on other parking improvements in the area, the bank
accepts in good faith that other business and property owners and the city
government will act on many, if not all, of the recommendations below.
Short-Range Parking Recommendations
(1) Allow on-street parking, west side of Oxford. The signage should
maintain ample sight lines at alleys and intersections. Gain 16 spaces.
(2) Stripe the parallel parking spaces on Grand Avenue. Might gain 6 spaces
(1 per blockface) through increased efficiency.
(3) Move cab stand on northwest corner of Grand and Lexington. Gain 1 or 2
spaces, which might become a 30-minute zone. Grand and Dunlap may
possibly be a better location for the cab stand.
(4) Change 1-hour parking to 30-minute on south side of Grand between Oxford
and Lexington. Increase turnover on 20 spaces.
(5) Employee parking at St. Luke's or St. George's north of Summit Avenue.
Gain 30-70 spaces.
(6) Reconfigure and restripe existing commercial lots. Might gain 10-20
spaces.
(7) Create open customer parking at the major lots. Significant increase in
availability and utilization.
(8) Coordinated commercial recycling. Purpose would be to save parking by
reducing the number of dumpsters that will be needed for commercial
recycling next year.
(9) Develop area improvement project for City funding that incorporates
proposals above for remote employee parking, restriping existing
commercial lots, and converting major lots to open customer parking, and
also adds features such as landscaping, cooperative trash collection and
recycling, residential buffering, and cooperative maintenance.
The task force considered two other short-range alternatives, but does not
recommend them. They are:
Far-side bus stop, north side of Grand at Oxford. Gain 1-2 spaces.
Vacate Oxford Street to alley and reconstruct as parking lot. Could be
north of Grand or south of Grand or both. Net gain of 12 spaces on each
side of Grand.
Lon -g Ran�e Parkin� Recommendations
(10) Develop detailed proposals for trolley and/or quarter zone for MTC.
4
. �������
President and Members of City Council
July 8, 1991
(11) Redevelop one of the properties between Lexington and Oxford as a public
parking lot.
(12) Study the use of parking meters along the full length of Grand Avenue,
with net revenue possibly going to underwrite public off-street parking
development.
The task force considered two other long-range alternatives, but does not
recommend them. They are:
Parking ramps at commercial nodes.
Cross-street vacations on alternating blocks along Grand Avenue (e.g. ,
St. Albans south of Grand, Grotto north of Grand, Avon south of Grand,
etc.)

DRAFT COUNCIL RESOLUTION ON NONCONFORMING COMMERCIAL PARKING
AND GRAND AVENUE PARKING ISSUES
WHEREAS, the Council held a public hearing to consider the petition of First
Bank Grand, 1071 Grand Avenue, for rezoning of the parking lot on the north
(residential) side of the alley from R-2 to P-1 on April 4, 1991; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the proposed rezoning
because the comprehensive plan states the alley line should be the boundary
between commercial and residential use; and
WHEREAS, at the request of the Council, a task force studied the proposed
rezoning in relation to broader parking problems at Grand and Lexington and
reported back to the Council on July 9, 1991, with recommendations to
implement several parking proposals for Grand and Lexington and to create a
new parking task force further east on Grand between Dale and Milton; and
WHEREAS, the task force recommends an alternative to rezoning in which the
bank lot would become a legal nonconforming use for ten years and then be
rejoined to the residential lot on Summit Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney's Office finds no clear authority in the zoning
code to approve a nonconforming use on an unbuilt parcel after ten years of
use, comparable to this authority for a nonconforming use of a building; and
WHEREAS, the task force's proposal should be evaluated by the Planning
Commission for its relationship to citywide zoning and land use policy;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby initiates the
sraall, nonconforming commercial parking lot zoning study and asks the Planning
Commission to make a recommendation on the proposal of the Grand-Lexington
Parking Task Force; and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that, if in due course the zoning code is amended as
recommended, First Bank Grand may apply for a legal nonconforming use permit
without paying another application fee beyond the rezoning application fee,
and that the rezoning petition submitted by the bank will satisfy any similar
petition requirement that may by adopted as part of the nonconforming use
application; and;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council requests the Planning Commission to
make its recommendations on this matter within 90 days.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council requests that PED and Public Works
staff be assigned to support implementation of the parking recommendations for
Grand and Lexington; and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council requests the Summit Hill
Association/District 16 to create another parking task force to address the
parking problems along Grand Avenue between Dale and Milton Streets.

Councilmember
March 28, 1991
Dear Fellow Council Members:
I am, unfortunately, still on a jury and unable to attend today's meeting.
However, I felt it was important that I at least be able to share my thoughts
with you regarding the proposed rezoning.
Over the last nine months, this issue has been thoroughly discussed and many
proposals for compromise have been offered:
* Giving a purchase option to the District Council
* Selling the lot to the District Council and leasing back
* Giving an option to the owner of 1082 Summit Avenue
* Allowing the bank to use the lot for a year while they look
for another location to buy or lease
* Changing the zoning code to grandfather the lot in
* Giving the lot to a church so the bank could "share parking"
No option has been able to satisfy all concerned.
First Bank wants as much parking as possible for their customers and they view
SARPA's proposals to purchase or lease other Grand Avenue lots as too costly.
They feel they should not be expected to single-handedly solve all of Grand
Avenue's parking problems and suggest, if they are denied rezoning, that they
will have to restrict access to their lot by Bober Drugs to their customers, only
making a bad parking situation worse.
The Summit Hill Association and SARPA argue that the City has been
negligent in enforcing this zoning violation over the last ten years, and that the
rezoning to P1 would set a negative precedent by allowing Summit Avenue
property to be converted to commercial use. They cite numerous examples in
the District 16 Plan, the Summit Avenue Plan, and East Grand Avenue Small
Area Plan that discourage this type of encroachment of the business district into
the residential area. These plans have all been approved by this Council and
they expect you to keep your word to the community and support those plans.
I would caution the Council to avoid any quick-fix solutions that would
continue to use this lot for parking.

They have more pitfalls than benefits. To change the zoning code to allow
illegally constructed parking lots to, at some point, be grandfathered into
compliance, encourages businesses to act unlawfully. Rezoning now, under the
premise that the lot would be rezoned back to residential at a later date, but
still used for parking, simply doesn't pass the "smell test". The Council must
decide this case on its merits, not on future considerations. It also raises the
question for citizens, "Why bother to do the work of planning if the Council
disregards the plan when conflicts arise?" The message to the public is that we
have no commitment to preserve Summit Avenue or any other neighborhood if
short-term needs or conflicts automatically override the plan.
I would instead propose that the Council deny the petition of First Grand Bank
to rezone the property behind 1082 Summit to P1, based on the findings of the
Planning Commission. Further, I ask the Council to request that the Mayor
instruct the Planning and Economic Development Department to begin
discussions with the Grand Avenue Business Association and the District 16
Planning Council to find potential sites for off-street parking in the area. I
would further recommend that enforcement on the lot be delayed until that
report is returned to Council.
I strongly feel that it has been unfortunate that neither the City nor I have been
able to take a more active role in developing parking in the area. This is
exactly the type of situation for which the Council created the Neighborhood
Commercial Parking Program. We have an opportunity to do what is best for
both the commercial and residential areas. Moreover, all parties should be
motivated to resolve these parking problems once and for all.
Thank you for your consideration nd help . . .

WHEREAS, FIRST BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, file # 90-306, has petitioned to rezone
the rear lot at 1082 SZJt�Il�iIT AVENUE, situated on the north side of the alley in the
block bounded by Summit, Oxford, Grand, and Lexington, from R-2 to P-1 to allow an
existing parking lot to become a legal conforming use; and
WHEREAS� the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission on 02/14/91 held a public
hearing at which alI persons present were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant
to said application in accordance with the requirements of Section 64.400 of the
Saint Paul Legislative Code; and .
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its
Zoning Committee at the public hearing, as substantially reflected in the minutes,
made the following findings of fact:
1. A petition containing the signatures of the owners of 17 of the 24 parcels
within 100 feet of the subject property and of the representative of the
property owner was filed in the zoning office on �January 4, 1991 (16 signatures
required) .
2. Following the seven working day waiting period required by §64.400(c) of the
� zoning code, the petition was declared sufficient on January 15, 1991.
3. The bank has a usable floor area of approximately 12,000 square feet. Based on
the current parking standard for banks of one space per 100 square feet of
usable floor area, the bank would be required to have approximately 120 parking
spaces. Excluding the lI spaces in the alley lot in question, the bank
currently owns or leases 45 spaces for its e�clusive use and 14 shared spaces.
New proposed parking standards have been approved by the Planning Commission anc
are awaiting City Council review and adoption. Under the proposed standard for
banks, First Bank Grand would need to provide 50 parking spaces (plus drive-in
stacked parking) if it were newly constructed. The bank therefore comes cZose
to meeting its parking requirement under the proposed standard without counting
the spaces in ttie alley lot.
4. The sub3ect parcel meets the minimum lot size requirement stated in the zoning
code. The code requires a minimum lot size of 4,000 square feet and a width of
40 feet. The subject parcel is 40 feet wide and has a lot area of 4,648 square
feet. The applicant will need to submit an application for site plan review ar.c
receive approval before any rezoning could proceed to the City Council.

.
S. Summit Avenue Residential Preservation Association representatives claim that
' the alley lot is little used most of the time. The bank claims that the lot is
used most at peak demand times which are the first, third, and fifteenth days of
the month as well as Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.
6. The current owner of the house at 1082 Summit has announced publicly that he
would like to purchase the alley lot and reattach it to his homestead. The .
property, therefore, has a reasonable use if it is not rezoned.
7. Residential lots along the south side of Summit Avenue between Lexington and
Dale are 250 feet deep--approximately twice the depth of standard, minimum-sized
residential lots elsewhere in the city. Lots on the north side of Lincoln are
150 feet deep. Lots on the south side of Summit, west of Lexington, are
generally 200 feet deep.
8. Alleys commonly serve as land use boundaries between commercial strips and
residential areas. Alleys are narrow land use buffers, yet they help to
mitigate the effects of commercial land uses on residential property.
9. Although City planning policies aim to support and strengthen both residential
and commercial areas of the city, on balance, city plans oppose this rezoning of �
residential land for commercial parking. .
The District 16 Plan Update (1989) states that:
= The residential and historic character of Summit Avenue should be preserved.
— The district's goals include "discourag[ing] the expansion of businesses in
residentially zoned areas other than Grand Avenue by discouraging spot
rezoning;" "prevent[ing] inappropriate conversion of residential property to
comtaercial use;" and "mitigat[ing] parking shortages and promot[ing] more
efficient use as well as shared use of available space in order to resolve
future parking and traffic concerns."
— "The impact of commercial operations along Grand Avenue should be limited to
the Avenue i:.self and should not extend beyond the alleys between Grand and
Summit or between Grand and Lincoln."
The Summit Avenue Plan (198b) states that:
= Its first goal is to "preserve the residential character of Summit Avenue."
_ "The City, through zoning policy and enforcement, should consistently protect
the residential character of all of Summit Avenue."
Strategies in the East Grand Avenue Small Area Plan (1989) include:
— "Control spillover effects on Lincoln Avenue. Acknowledging the special
character of Grand Avenue and the neighborhood it .serves, rezonings and
variances are discouraged in those areas of Grand Avenue where parking and
. traffic problems are extreme and spill over onto Lincoln Avenue, Summit
Avenue� or into alleys." (#4, p.2)
— "Facilitate shared ,parking a�,reements." (#9, p. 3)
_ "Retain existing parking supulx. Any removal of existing parking is strongly
discouraged without substitute parking being provided." (#15, p. 3)
(continued)
�cy�_��7�
' The requested rezoning clearly conflicts with the District 16 Plan statement
that the impact of commercial operations along Grand should not extend beyond
the alleys north and south of Grand. The requested rezoning also conflicts with
the Summit Avenue Plan and more generally with other policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
NOW� THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Planning Commission that, based on
findings 3, 6, 8, and 9 above� the petition of FIRST BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION to
rezone property at 1082 SITI�IliIT AVENUE� more particularly described as S. 40' of Lot
11 lying Ely of following described line: Beg. at SW corner of said Lot 11 then run
NEly to a pt. 7.6' E. of W. line & 40' N. of S. line of said Lot � there term; also
S. 40' of Lots 9_ and 10, Block 39; Summit Park Addition, from a R-2 zoning
classification to a P-1 zoning classification is inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan for the City and is hereby recommended for denial by the Council of the City of
Saint Paul.

First Bank Grand. #90-306:
. To consider a petition to rezone the property from R-2 to P-1 to allow an
existing parking lot to become a legal conforming use.
Two representatives of the applicant were present. Six people spoke in
support. Six people spoke in opposition.
Mr. Rubenstein showed slides of the site, summarized the staff report, and,
based on staff findings 3, 9, 11, and 13, recommended denial of the petition
to rezone the property from R-2 to P-1.
Mr. Larry Soderholm talked about meetings that had been held regarding a
compromise/other options. No solutions were attained. Positions were
polarized.
Ms. Pat Crowns, 1071 Grand Avenue, President of First Bank Grand, addressed
the committee. She explained the history of this case and the need for the
parking lot, not only for the bank but also for the community. She said the
bank has never had a complaint about the lot in the last 10 years.
Ms. Crowns introduced Mr. Vern Wilcox, Vice President with First Bank Systems,
working with the Corporate Properties Division. Mr. Wilcox defined the
boundaries of the lot in question. He also presented some history. In
addition, he talked about the improvements they intended to make on the lot.
Mr. John Gelderman, owner of Oxford Square Shopping Center, spoke in support.
Parking is a big problem in the area. The bank has been a good neighbor.
Mr. Jim Wuollet, Wuollet Bakery, 1080 Grand Avenue, addressed the committee in
support. Parking is a problem.
Mr. Ron Johnson, owner of Bober Drug, 1059 Grand Avenue, addressed the
committee in support. He spoke of the bank as a very good neighbor.
Ms. Cathy Veckage, Two Hats, Too, addressed the committee in support. She
spoke as a resident and business owner.

Mr. Bill McKrum, chair of the Land Use Committee for the Grand Avenue Business
Association, addressed the committee in support, specifically, the '
nonconforming use of the parking lot. He, too, spoke about the congested
parking in the area.
Mr. Bob McClay, President of the Grand Avenue Business Association, and also a
property owner on Grand Avenue, addressed the committee in support. He
reiterated that parking is a problem in the area and that the bank has been a
very good neighbor.
Ms. Alma Joseph, 365 Summit Avenue, addressed the committee in opposition.
She is a present board member of Summit Avenue Residential Preservation
Association (SARPA) and founding president of the group. She felt the need to
give some history of the group. This residential group was founded in 1986�
in order to oversee the implementation of the recommendations included in a
report prepared by the Summit Avenue Committee appointed by the City; and
adopted by the City Council in 1986. The goal of the organization: the
preservation of Summit Avenue, its entire 4 1/2 miles, as a residential street
which is known as the showcase of the City of Saint Paul. We are the watchdog
of Summit Avenue, to maintain its residential character.
Ms. Marianne Costanzi, 790 Summit Avenue, addressed the committee in
opposition. She is a charter member of SARPA and a member of District 16
Summit Hill Association. Her history on Summit Avenue goes back 60 years.
She outlined specific sentences given in a report by a fellow member of
District 16 SHA, Jan Hahn, from the District 16 Plan Update:
The Heritage Preservation District boundary should be
extended further along Summit Avenue and should eventually
include a larger portion of Summit Hill so that building
changes can be monitored closely and only historically
appropriate changes can occur.
District 16 should join with other District Councils
bordering on Summit Avenue in supporting the plan which
evolved from the Summit Avenue Task Force and in working
to preserve the residential and historic character of
ummit.
A commercial and residential mix along Grand Avenue
should be maintained with further expansion of commercial
operations imited so as not to destroy the residential
character of the neighborhood.
If this precedent is set, she fears that 14 other sites are also lin jeopardy
of encroachment onto residential lots by commercial operations.
. . . . .to prevent the intrusion of businesses in residential
neighborhoods by discouraging spot rezoning and encouraging
enforcement of City ordinances on home occupations.

�commercial interests is listed as a current problem in the
District 16 Plan Update.
A commercial and residential mix along Grand Avenue should
be maintained with further expansion of commercial operations
limited so as not to destroy the residential character of the
neighborhood.
The impact of commercial operations along Grand Avenue should
be limited to the Avenue itself and should not extend beyond
the alleys between Grand and Summit or between Grand and
Lincoln.
. . . .to protect Grand Avenue from unwarranted commercial expansion
and to preserve the uniaue character of the Avenue while
maintaining a quality level of business.
. . . .to prevent conversion of residential property to commercial.
The City, through zoning policy and enforcement, should
consistently protect the residential character of all of
Summit Avenue, institutions and quasi-commercial uses have
in many cases, subjected mansions to more wear and tear,
created neighborhood parking and traffic problems� and
inflated real estate prices making residential development
more difficult.
This proposal is an adverse effect on Summit Avenue.
Our first goal is to preserve the residential character
of Summit Avenue.
She reiterates Larry Soderholm's suggestion: "That the businesses along
Summit Avenue do a careful parking study that maximizes the number of parking
spaces on the block between Lexingtan and Oxford, and create the optimum
shared parking arrangements based on hours of use." She thinks it's a great
idea. She believes that we owe it to future generations to preserve this
residential Summit Avenue. Summit is an endangered species; it's a living,
historical museum.
Mr. Russell Jensen, 1082 Summit Avenue (resident behind the parking lot),
addressed the committee in opposition. He came to say that he would replace
the asphalt on the lot with landscaping and return it back to his original
lot. He agrees that the lot has been well managed since he has lived there
(1984) , and is not always occupied. However, since the bank drive-thru has
been in operation, there's been heavy traffic back there. Snow has been piled
onto the lot and not removed. Since he brought it up in November, the snow
,. has been removed� but, the removal has taken place between 1:15 a.m. - 4:15
a.m. , which wakes up his family.

Mr. Roger Oelschlager, 2174 Summit Avenue, addressed the committee in
opposition on behalf of SARPA. He is concerned that if Grand Avenue continues
to encroah upon residents on Summit Avenue, the area will become a less
desirable place to live.
Mr. Ray DeBlasio, 1954 Summit Avenue, Vice President of SARPA, addressed the
committee in opposition. He was very concerned about the illegal use of the
property for the past 10 years. For the past 8 years, the owner knew it was
in violation of ordinance, but continued the use. The City also was negligent
by not enforcing the code. SARPA urges the Commission to recommend denial of
the rezoning.
Mr. Bob Casselman, 794 Lincoln Avenue� addressed the committee in opposition
wearing three hats: Chair of District 16 Land Use Committee, concerned
resident, and as a person whose wife has a business on Grand Avenue.
Basically, he was concerned about a precedent being set� if the rezoning were
approved, which would create a negative domino effect for the whole community.
The applicant's representatives, Pat Crowns and Vern Wilcox� re-addressed the
committee to further plead their case.
Public hearing was closed.
Ms. Hirte made a motion to recommend denial, based on staff findings 3, 9, 11�
and 12. The motion was seconded by Mr. Kajer. It passed on a roll call vote
of 5 to 0 with 1 abstention.

7. STAFF INVESTIGATION AND REPORT: DATE: 2/10/91 BY: Aaron Rubenstein
�- �s--�
A. PURPOSE: To consider a petition to rezone the property from R-2 to P-1 to allow
an existing parking lot to become a legal conforming use.
B. PARCEL SIZE: The parcel has 120 feet of frontage along the alley and is 40 feet
deep. It is slightly irregularly shaped. The total lot area is 4,648 square
feet.
C. ERISTING LAND USE: The parcel is currently used as a paved parking lot for
First Bank emp.loyees and customers.
D. SURROIINDING LAND USE:
North: Single family and duplex residential on land zoned R-2.
East: Single family and duplex residential on land zoned R-2.
South: Commercial uses on land zoned B-2.
West: Single family and duplex residential on land zoned R-2.
E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Sec. 64.400(a) states in part that "the council may, from
time to time, amend, supplement or change the district boundaries or the
regulations herein, or subsequently established herein pursuant to the
provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357 and amendments thereto as may
be made from time to time."
Sec. 64.400 (b) states in part that "an amendment to the zoning code may be
initiated by the council, the planning commission or by petition of the owners
of sixty-seven (67) percent of the area of the property to be rezoned."
F. HISTORYjDISCIISSION: The sub�ect parcel is located in a residential zone across
the alley from First Bank Grand. The bank bought the property in 1980 from a
previous owner of 1082 Summit. The applicant is now seeking to rezone this
parking lot as a result of a complaint made to the City about the illegal use of
this property.
����-��.y�
File #90-306

The Summit Hill Association (District 16) and the Summit Avenue Residential
Preservation Association are opposed to the rezoning. The Summit Hill
Association has also expressed interest in working with the bank to reach a
compromise agreement on bank parking. Eleven business owners and
representatives have written letters of support for the rezoning. (See attached
letters of support and opposition. Rod Johnson wrote a letter of support as a
Summit Avenue resident; he is also co-owner of Bober Drugs.)
A similar parking/zoning case arose last year �ust three parcels east of the
sub�ect property. Bober Drug built and used a small parking lot at the rear of
1058 Summit. It has ceased to be used for commercial parking as a result of
zoning enforcement action. That lot is not on a parcel separate from the
residence at 1058 Summit and, therefore, it could not be rezoned to allow
parking.
First Bank Grand makes use of five parking lots in the vicinity of its building:
— The bank's "alley" parking lot--the subject parcel--has 11 parking spaces and
some trash dumpsters on it.
— There are 18 spaces in the lot behind the bank on the south side of the alley.
— The bank owns a small parcel behind Bober Drug which the bank uses for three
employee parking spaces.
— The bank owns the "theater" parking lot located between Bober Drug and Oxford
Square. That lot contains 12 spaces reserved for bank employees, 7 spaces for
Bober and bank customers, 2 spaces for Bober customers, 2 handicapped spaces,
and 5 unassigned spaces, for a total of 28 spaces.
= The bank also leases on a month to month basis an unpaved lot behind the Clark
gas station on the south side of Grand. The lot holds approximately 12 cars.
Access to the lot is through the gas station; it is fenced off from the alley
between Lincoln and Grand.
With these five lots (and excluding the alley lot) , the bank has available the
following amount of parking:
— 27 spaces for bank employees.
— 18 spaces exclusively for bank customers.
— 14 spaces in the theater lot which are for bank and Bober customers or which
are unassigned.
— 32 spaces (18 + 14) for bank customers including those in the theater lot
which are shared with the drug store or which are unassigned.
— 45 spaces (27 + 18) for exclusive use of bank customers and employees.
First Banks has indicated they may limit access to the theater lot to bank
customers and employees if the rezoning is denied. A bank official estimates
that the average number of employees working at any one time is 25 and that the
maximum number of employees working at any one time is 30. Parking demand is
highest, and supply is sometimes insufficient, at the beginning of the month
(after people receive government checks) and on paydays.
G. DISTRICT COUNCIL POSITION: The Swnmit Hill Association board has voted to
recommend denial of the rezoning. The association has negotiated with the bank
at length about this parking issue without yet reaching an agreement. Perhaps
further discussions involving the bank and other businesses in this area, Summit
��/-/�7�

Hill Association (SHA) , the Grand Avenue Business Association, and the City
could result in agreement.
H. FINDINGS:
1. A petition containing the signatures of the owners of 17 of the 24 parcels
within 100 feet of the sub,ject property and of the representative of the
property owner was filed in the zoning office on January 4, 1991 (16
signatures required) .
2. Following the seven working day waiting period required by §64.400(c) of the
zoning code, the petition was declared sufficient on January 15, 1991.
3. The bank has a usable floor area of approximately 12,000 square feet. Based
on the current parking standard for banks of one space per 100 square feet
of usable floor area, the bank would be required to have approximately 120
parking spaces. As a use existing prior to the revision of the zoning code
in 1975, however, the bank is not required to meet this parking requirement.
Excluding the 11 spaces in the alley lot in question, the bank currently
owns or leases 45 spaces for its exclusive use and 14 shared spaces.
New proposed parking standards have been approved by the Planning Commission
and are awaiting City Council review and adoption. The proposed parking
standard for banks is one space per 240 square feet of gross floor area plus
five stacking spaces per lane for drive-in banking. Under this proposed
standard, First Bank Grand would need to provide 50 parking spaces (plus
drive-in stacked parking) if it were newly constructed. The bank therefore
comes close to meeting its parking requirement under the proposed standard
without counting the spaces in the alley lot.
4. The subject parcel meets the minimum lot size requirement stated in the
zoning code. The code requires a minimum lot size of 4,000 sguare feet and
a width of 40 feet. The subject parcel is 40 feet wide and has a lot area
of 4,648 square feet. The code also requires minimum front, side, and rear
setbacks of four feet. Section 61.105(b) states that "in those instances
wherein a P-1 District abuts a dedicated public alley of at least twenty
(20) feet in width, the lot width may be reduced to twenty (20) feet and lot
area to two thousand (2,000) square feet if the planning commission finds
that the alley can be used as the parking lot maneuvering land without
conflicting with traffic." The applicant will need to submit an application
for site plan review and receive approval before any rezoning could proceed
to the City Council.
5. Summit Avenue Residential Preservation Association representatives claim
that the alley lot is little used most of the time.
6. While customers of other businesses currently may be using the alley lot
after bank hours, the zoning code requires that the lot� if rezoned, not be
used when the bank is closed unless a written shared parking agreement
exists involving the other businesses which will use the lot.
7. The leased parking lot behind the Clark station is unpaved and accommodates
about 12 cars. If it were paved, stripped, and enlarged by about six feet,
U'��r/e''�
F�le #90-306
Page Four
either by moving the eight foot landscape buffer between the lot and the gas
pumps or by reducing the size of the buffer, the lot could provide
approximately 21 spaces--an increase of 8 spaces. This lot is now leased by
the bank on a month to month basis. It appears to be little used. Perhaps
greater use of this lot would permit some of the spaces reserved for
employees in the theater lot to be used by customers.
8. Amoco hopes to acquire more land adjacent to its closed gas station at the
northeast corner of Lexington and Grand and to reopen a station there.
9. The current owner of the house at 1082 Summit has announced publicly that he
would like to purchase the alley lot and reattach it to his homestead. The
property, therefore, has a reasonable use if it is not rezoned.
10. Residential lots along the south side of Summit Avenue between Lexington and
Dale are 250 feet deep--approximately twice the depth of standard,
minimum-sized residential lots elsewhere in the city. Lots on the north
side of Lincoln are 150 feet deep. Lots on the south side of Summit, west
of Lexington, are generally 200 feet deep.
11. Alleys commonly serve as land use boundaries between commercial strips and
residential areas. Alleys are narrow land use buffers, yet they help to
mitigate the effects of commercial land uses on residential property.
12. Although City planning policies aim to support and strengthen both
residential and commercial areas of the city, on balance, city plans oppose
this rezoning of residential land for commercial parking.
The District 16 Plan Update (1989) states that:
— "Parking shortages exist on almost every block on Grand Avenue from Ayd
Mill Road to Oakland Avenue. The demand created by shoppers, employees,
residents, institutions, and downtown commuters simply isn't being met by
the available supply. This creates a detrimental impact on the
residential character, [as well asJ spill-over effects on adjacent
residential areas and limits the potential of Grand's existing
enterprises." (problem #1, p. 18)
— The residential and historic character of Summit Avenue should be
preserved.
— The district's goals include "discourag[ing� the expansion of businesses
in residentially zoned areas other than Grand Avenue by discouraging spot
rezoning" (goal #2, p.8) ; "prevent[ing] inappropriate conversion of
residential property to commercial use" (goal #3, p. 17) ; and
"mitigat[ing] parking shortages and promot[ing] more efficient use as well
as shared use of available space in order to resolve future parking and
traffic concerns." (goal #2, p. 18)
— "The impact of commercial operations along Grand Avenue should be limited
to the Avenue itself and should not extend beyond the alleys between Grand
and Summit or between Grand and Lincoln." (proposal #5, p. 10)
The Swrunit Avenue Plan (1986) states that:
— Its first goal is to "preserve the residential character of Summit

Avenue." (goal #1, p. 5)
— "The City, through zoning policy and enforcement, should consistently
protect the residential character of all of Summit Avenue. Institutions
and quasi-commercial uses have, in many cases, sub,jected mansions to more
wear and tear, created neighborhood parking and traffic problems, and
inflated real estate prices, making residential development more
difficult." (ma�or recommendation #2, p.2)
Strategies in the East Grand Avenue Small Area Plan (1989) include:
_ "Control spillover effects on Lincoln Avenue. Acknowledging the special
character of Grand Avenue and the neighborhood it serves, rezonings and
variances are discouraged in those areas of Grand Avenue where parking and
traffic problems are extreme and spill over onto Lincoln Avenue, Summit
Avenue, or into alleys." (#4, p.2)
— "Facilitate shared parking„ agreements." (#9, p. 3)
— "Retain existin�, varkin�suppl�. Any removal of existing parking is
strongly discouraged without substitute parking being provided." (#15, p.
3)
The land use chapter in Saint Paul's Comprehensive Plan (1980) states that:
— "As existing commercial strips redevelop with mixed uses, conflicts may
arise between new development seeking to expand the area or depth of the
strip and adjacent residents who wish to maintain the boundaries of
exclusive residential neighborhoods. More site-specific planning for the
strips will be needed to identify the locations and conditions under which
expansion is appropriate. District councils and local development
corporations should be directly involved in these plans."
_ "The city will encourage the development of compatible mixed uses along
existing commercial strips by: 1) developing specific land use plans; 2)
developing design and performance controls; 3) continuing technical and
financial assistance to small businesses; and 4) modifying current land
use regulatory provisions to permit appropriate flexibility in the reuse
of land and structures." (Policy 4.2-2)
— "Most of St. Paul's business land is on strips. Houses ad,join the
commercial land with only a fence or alley between. Poor business design
has a direct effect on the value and enjoyment of ad,joining houses and the
attractiveness of the neighborhood as a whole." (all quotes from p. 27)
Relevant excerpts from the City's Economic Development Strategy (1990) , a
chapter of the Comprehensive Plan, are as follows:
— "The City's land use plan should clearly indicate business expansion areas
and residential retention areas in neighborhoods, while providing for
buffers between business and residential land uses." (policy #35, p. 19)
— "The City and Port Authority should incorporate design, sesthetic and
environmental considerations into commercial and industrial development to '
ensure compatibility with residential neighborhoods." (policy #36, p. 19)
_ "The City should continue its efforts to alleviate congestion and
intrusion into residential areas due to on-street parking by a variety of
tools including permitting, parking demand management and development of
off-street parking facilities." (policy #81, p. 27)

The requested rezoning clearly conflicts with the District 16 Plan statement
that the impact of commercial operations along Grand should not extend
beyond the alleys north and south of Grand. The requested rezoning also
conflicts with the Summit Avenue Plan and more generally with other policies
cited above.
13. Other options such as a issuing a non-conforming use permit or amending the
non-conforming use rule do not seem to be appropriate. The "10-year
non-conforming rule" applies only to structures, and not to land without
structures, according to the zoning code. Amending the code to include
accessory parking in the "10-year non-conforming rule" would create a
significant, undesirable loophole which could legalize numerous parking lots
which illegally encroach on residential property. First Banks and SHA have
talked about rezoning the parking lot with a deed restriction which would
convey the property to SHA if the facility ceases to operate as a bank. No
such agreement has been reached.
14. There is not a simple "yes" or "no" answer to the question of "would
rezoning this parcel set a precedent for rezoning to P-1 residential
properties located across an alley from commercial uses?" It would not set
a legal precedent for mid-block parking lots on the residential side of an
alley because, since 1982, one cannot subdivide property to create lots
without street frontage. There is only one other "alley" lot on the south
side of Summit; it is located just west of Dale and has a carriage house on
it. On the other hand, this rezoning would set a precedent "on the ground"
by its existence and approval. In addition, smaller properties on side
streets and with alley frontage could conceivably be rezoned for commercial
parking.
I. STAFF RECOI�tENDATION: Based on findings 3, 9, 11, and 12, staff recommends
denial of the requested rezoning.

RE: Rezoning of property at 1082 Summit Avenue
Dear Ms. Crowus:
The staff of the Zoning Section of the Planning Division has checked the
signatures on your rezoning petition against the property ownership records
provided by the Ramsey County Department of Taxation. We have determined that
24 parcels are eligible; 16 parcels are needed; and 13 parcels have been
verified. The City of Saint Paul accepts "FEE" owners signatures and
"HOMESTEADERS" signatures only. You must submit 3 additional signatures before
we can continue to process your request for rezoning. Enclosed is a new
petition form, and notary sheet.
If you have any questions, please call me at 228-3390
Sincerely,

TREASL'RER Dear Mr. McGuire,
Helen Murpf►y � . �
We at SARPA (Summit Avenue Residential Preservation
BOARDOFDIRECTORS Association) are dedicated to the principles expressed
M�i,�ecosc�i in the Summit Avenue Plan approved by the St. Paul City
JohnDahler Council in 1986, namely to "preserve Summit Avenue as a
J��ry grand' residential boulevard to be enj oyed by future
RayDiBlacio generations of St. Paul citizens". With this goal in
A1maJoseph mind, we are obligated to oppose the requested spot
�or«u�7udse zoning change from R-1 (single family residential) to
HekaMurphy P-1 (commercial parking) requested by First Bank Grand
7oan�C.Neason for the small parcel behind 1082 Summit Avenue.
tt�ga a o��aga
MaryOToole SARPA is convinced that Grand Avenue businesses will
DavidSimpson remain dynamic and viable onl� as long as the
Ex•oFFIC�o surrounding residential area is perceived to be a
HomerFord - desirable place to live and raise families. We are
J��� absolutely convinced that the insertion of commercial
parkin lots into the middle of residential backyards
��M�y will, in the long run, cause the surrounding property
Cathrine Rosness to be perceived as a less desirable place to live, with
MadelineShinbach the resultant decline in Grand Ave. vitality. We
T.��� believe that as portions of Grand Ave. become developed
to the maximum practical extent, the city would be
better served by encouraging additional development
along other commercial streets (Selby and St. Clair)
rather than allowing Grand Ave. to consume the
residential districts on either side of it.
In addition, we are convinced that the precedent
provided by this property will, and has, served as an
example to other Grand Ave. businesses on how to force
zoning code revision. We have already seen others
purchase property on Summit and convert the rear yards
to parking intended to support their Grand Ave.
business. If the City rezones this parcel it will
reward the owner for managing to evade effective
enforcement action by the city of this illegal use, -
which has continued for nearly ten years. If this is
Z��� i�C� ���.� �- 06
-- 13"
�������
allowed, we believe the City will find it increasingly
difficult to deny the inevitable zoning requests that
this example will encourage.
It is our understanding that the bank meets the zoning
code parking requirements at this time without
including the few spaces behind Summit Ave. Denying
this zoninc� change request will impose no hardship on
the bank, its employees or customers. Also, the parcel
behind 1082 Summit does not meet the minimum lot size
requirement for P-1 zoning and will not meet the normal
Planning Department requirements for traffic flow since
the alley must be used for access to every space. If
the bank and other Grand Ave. businesses are truly
interested in providing additional general customer
parking in the area, they might take the suggestion of
Mr. Larry Solderholm of the PED Staff to "do a careful
parking study that maximizes the number of parking
spaces on the block faces between Lexington and Oxford
and create the optimum shared parking arrangements
based on hours of use".
We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the
large body of planing, zoning, and cit� policies and
practices that the proposed spot rezoning will violate.
Sincerely,
R er A. Oelschlag r

To whan it may co�cern:
On Sept�ber 11, 1990, the board of directors of the Grand Avenue �siness Associatian
voted in favor of the c�tinued use of the sauthern 40 feet an the property located
at 1082 Sumnit Avaruue for shared, off-street parkin�.
It was the co�ncensus of the C�,BA board that because there is an �isting shortfall of
parkii�; spaces in the Lexington/rrand area, a loss of 21 parki� places would e�saser-
bate a seriaus parking situatian.
In additian, the � board felt that because Fisst Bank has owned �d operated this
praperty as a parking lot for the benefit of its customess, area residents, and the
customess of other area businesses for 10 years with vistually no ccmplaints, it
would be senseless to take it away now.
Finally, the parkir�g lot located behind 1082 S��nit Avenue is more aesthetically ap-
pealing than rnrneraus other garages or back alley entrances alcnig the Grand/Sta�it
alley.
Whether it is dane by rezatiirb the back 40 feet to P1 or by sane other canditianal
pezmit process, the G`rand Avenue Business Association is in favor of the cantinued
use of the south 40 feet an the property located at 1082 Sunmit Avernue.

First Bank Grand's application to rezone the southern 40 feet of
the property at 1082 Summit Avenue to P-1 .
My partners and I both own property and operate a business
approximately two and one-half blocks from Lexington and Grand. It
is our belief that there is an existing shortfall of parking spaces
in the Lexington/Grand area. The loss of the referenced parking
spaces would further aggravate the parking shortage.
Historically, First Bank has owned and operated the property as a
commercial parking lot for the benefit of its customers, area
residents, and customers of other businesses for approximately ten
years . Until recently, there have been little or no complaints of
its use for this purpose.
We encourage the zoning committee to rule favorably on First Bank's
request to rezone the property to P-1.
Very truly yours,

Mary OToole cerned about cree in encroachment of commercial arkin on Summit Avenue ro ert that
David Simpson p� g P g P P 3'
shares an alley with Grand Avenue.
SARPA is especially opposed to the commercial pazking that is creeping in on the

also serves lst Grand Avenue Bank, a parking lot, and Bober's Drugstore.
SARPA would like to have the City of St.Paul's zoning opinion on this commercial
parking on Summit Avenue property sent to them at the above address as soon as possible.
Thank you for your help and assistance.

To Whom it May Concern:
We feel that it is reasonable request on the part of the First National
Bank Association to rezone the property for R-2 to P1.
This is a primarily Commercial area with a definite lack of parking. We
feel the addition of this parking lot will help alleviate the problem
without enviromental harm or any adverse effect to the slendor of Summit
Avenue.

Zoning Committee

Re: Zoning File Number 90-306
First Bank Grand
Committee Members :
I am writing in support of First Bank Grand' s petition to
rezone the property behind 1082 Summit Avenue from R-2 to
P-1 . I feel that residential neighborhoods and businesses
must work together in order for both to be strong. The
property in question, like all lots in this area of Summit
Avenue, are double lots in length. Rezoning a small area
in back, not visable from the front of Summit Avenue, to use
for parking seems an obvious solution. Grand Avenue has a
shortage of parking, and using this s�ace for parking is a
good idea and good use of land. I would rather see people
park in the back of a piece of property than use the front
street of Summit Avenue for a parking lot.
I do not feel that this detracts from the beauty of Summit
Avenue. I also do not agree that granting a petition to
rezone the property from R-2 to P-1 will start a precedent.
Your committee would be there to monitor each petition.
Sincerely,
���

RE: South 40 Feet of 1082 Summit Avenue
Dear Ms. Crowns: �
We are again receiving complaints about the use of the referenced property
as parking for patrons of First Bank Grand. The property is zoned R-2,
single family residential. Parking for an adjacent commercial use is not
permitted in a residential zoning district, however, it would be permitted
in a P-1 (parking) zoning district.
i►'ithin 30 days, the lot must be cordoned off to prohibit access or a
rezoning application must be filed.
If you have any questions regardfng this matter, please contact me.

RE: Zoning Alternatives for First Bank Grand
I have reviewed the alternatives for First Bank Grand's 11-car lot
north of the alley with Jerry Segal of the City Attorney's Office
and Wendy Lane, who is in charge of zoning enforcement. We
concluded that the straight•-forward alternatives are what Wendy
Lane wrote to the Bank in July, specifically:
A. Close the lot and conform to the residential zoning, or
B. Rezone the lot to P-1. The Planning Commission would
also need to grant a modification of the minimum lot
size for P-1 zones, which is 2000 square feet.
B-1. Subalternative: P-i zoning with deed restrictions (not
involving the City) .
We discussed additional alternatives but do not think they would
be good as precedents or general City policy, specifically:
C. An application for a non-conforming use permit under the
"10-year rule." In the code, this provision only applies
to structures, not to parking lots.
D. Amend the code to include accessory parkinq in the "10-
year nonconforming rule. " There may be many cases
� throughout the City where parking is illegally
encroaching on residential lots. Amending this section
of the code could create a significant, undesirable
loophole.

The only additional alternative I can think of is for the business�,$
to do a careful parking study that maximizes the number of parking
spaces on the block faces between Lexington and Oxford and create
the optimum shared parking arrangements based on hours of use.
(Perhaps they have already done this. )

Ladies and Gentlemen:
It has been suggested, being the owners of 1082 Summit Avenue, the
property of which is the subject of a zoning change for the benefit
of First Bank Grand, that we prepare a letter stating our views on
the subject.
When we purchased the property in 1985, in the first instance the
traffic in the alley behind the house was a lot less than it is
now. At that time, we were given that the lot that invades the
rear of our property was properly sold and legally zoned, and there
was nothing we could do about it, and we simply endured the
inconvenience and noise.
The bank then expanded its drive-in windows, and the alley from the
bank to Lexington Avenue became a raceway. We also discovered that
very rarely was the lot full, and in the wintertime it was used to
store the snow from the parking areas surrounding the bank. This
snow activity also resulted in heavy equipment coming in late at
night and moving the snow around, creating a disturbance.
Since this issue has come up, we have become more aware of the
encroachments on the buffer alley between the Grand Avenue
businesses and the Summit Avenue homes, and I am concluding that
this encroachment is not limited to just our property, but seems
to be happening all the way up and down the alley. To allow the
zoning change would have the effect of softening the limitation on
encroachment behind other buildings, and in time the entire avenue
will suffer.
Summit Avenue has undergone a long and successful restoration of
its homes from the efficiencies and the apartments it represented
in the 50's, and i fear that this zoning change would trigger a
reversal of the progress that has been made in the last three

decades, not to mention the decrease in the value of the
properties.
You should know that we stand willing to reacquire the property,
and convert it to its former status as a residential yard.
There is one other problem that disturbs us. The legal description
as drawn by the bank shows that this parking area extends 10 feet
beyond the current fence line. What that means to us is that if
this zoning is granted, the fence will be moved back an additional
10 feet, creating a substantially larger parking space than the
bank is asking the Zoning Board to consider. This change would
significantly devalue the property, and increase the encroachment
to within a few feet of the rear garage, affecting its
accessibility.
Very truly yours,
Russell J. Jensen

Re: Application by First Bank, National Association
to Rezone a Portion of 1082 Summit Avenue.
Zoning File No. 90-306
Zoning File Name: First Bank Grand
Dear Committee Members:
The undersigned is a co-owner of the residential property at 1058 Summit
Avenue. Said property is located within 350 feet of the 1082 Summit parking area that is
the subject of this reioning application.
It is my information and understanding that First Bank Grand seeks to
rezone a portion of 1082 Summit Avenue from R-2, its current zoning classification, to P-
1 in order that the existing parking usage can become legal and conforming under the
zoning code and applicable regulation.
Please be informed that I support the rezoning petition of First Bank Grand
and I do so because it is my conviction that the commercially developed Grand Avenue
side of the block can co-exist harmoniously with the residentially developed Summit
Avenue side of the same block bounded by Oxford Avenue on the East and Lexington
Avenue on the West.
Respe tfull u i ed,
AMES C. DONNEL
