SUBJECT: In the Matter of the Petition of Ralph Traficante to Rezone - Lots 1 through 9, West Side Land & Cottage Companyts Subdivision of Block 36 of Brown & Jackson's Addition to West St. Paul, from a Class "Bu Residence to a Class -11C11 Residence District. HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL, GREETINGS:' The undersigned petitioner respectfully submits this matter for your.consideration with the hope that it will meet, your approval and sanction. The real estate described is more commonly known as the south side of Baker Street. lying between Woodbury and Brown Avenues, and consists of eight lots measuring 40 feet in width and 123 feet in depth. Collectively, these -lots were the site of the former Hendricks School,- 'which was constructed in the year 1886 and was used last for classes during the school -year Of 1953 to 1954. The building -was razed in December of the year 1954. After clearing the property of the school,building, the School Board of the City-of'3aint.Pau1 placed this property up for 'bid, which I later purchased with the thought of building apartment units upon -it 1_- Cognizant of the fact that rezoning would be necessary,, I canvassed the adjoining property.owners to unite in my petition to rezone. Out of 24 possible signees,,I was able to contact 21. Out of the 21 contacted, 20'joined into the petition. In summary, the petition signees represent 83.33% of the adjoining and surround- ing property owners. In order that you may obtain a more concise picture of the area, your attention is- invited,to the small attached plat marked "Exhibit All.,. The-blue dots represent residents who signed the petition. The building program -which I proposed to follow was to construct three 11 -unit apartment buildings, complete with off -the- street parking, at a cost of #3001 000.00. Attached and marked "Exhibit B11 is an architect's'" sketch of one of the three proposed apartment buildings. ry ° Your attention is also invited to the attached Site Development Plan which is marked °Exhbit C". This plan gives a complete outline of land utilization. t- 3 Recently, the Saint Paul_ -City Planning Board voted, by a margin of three to two, against my; rezoning petition, primarily on the grounds that the area concerned with this petition should 'be conserved for single and double -unit dwellings only. For those, of you who are- not, 'familiar with this section of the`city, may I point out that this area is one of the oldest districts ,of the City of- Saint Paul'.- Further, that the majority of residences consists of very old but well -cared for - homes. There is also an intermix of duplexes and single -unit homes through- out, with one large five family -unit adjacent thereto. In view of the trend toward rambler and ranch -style single - unit homes, this land could not be fully utilized because of the width of each lot, taking into consideration that a three bedroom t rambler (non" expansion type) requires a foundation of approximately 40 feet in-length.- It would follow that a rambler duplex would occupy a much longer foundation area. East Baker Avenue -is a dead nd street at its most eastern point, and Brown Avenue, not being cu through and completed, fronts the dead end of Baker-Avenue and the ead end of the alley now ex- isting, thereby making a very undesir ble location for single and/or double -unit construction'. This property has been real state tax- exempt since 1996, and'with a development such as the on�le outlined in the attached plans, would greatly increase(-,the assessed- valuation.of this here- tofore untaxed property. Adjoining property owners would also benefit by this program in that the value of their property would. increase by the introduction of modern buildings and landscaping In the neighborhood. I As a practical matter, it i bution would be made to the city's hi condemnation proceedings by the Stat and Redevelopment Authority have don however, no multiple -units ha.ve,been those areas now remaining vacant. Two of the best examples of recent apartment construction, are li Avenue and 475 St. Clair Avenue. Bo single and double -unit neighborhoods face lifting the blocks they occupy. 9 felt that a definite contri- iusing problem relief in that of Minnesota and the Housing away with many residences, constructed near or adjacent to neighborhood improvement, in Gated at .1046 North Western th buildings were built in mixed with a resultant end factor of The Riverview Memorial Hospital, which is located a few blocks away-from your petitioner► s site, is presently planning a multi- million dollar expansion program ;hick includes additional facilities and staff. Inasmuch as there- are no apartment facilities in this disttiot, a multiple -unit d elling would offer convenient accommodation to hospital professio al and non - professional per- sonnel. Realizing the'many,duties d obligations which you honored members of the council have to,performTin the course of your daily activities, I have attempted to briefly outline a few points on behalf of my petition to-,rezone. I beg your indulgence in your consideration of its merit. 2 _ •'_ -'~�_ Yom=-- � • J Should you be-unable to decide this issue today, I respect- fully request that a continuance of this hearing be granted to another date in order to afford the council members, who are not - acquainted with this location, an opportunity to view the premises before making a final decision. I wish to extend my.sincere" appreciation and gratitude to you all for permitting_me.to-,address,you as a governmental body. You have been a very - gracious audience. c 3 ,- :Respectfully yours, 1 Trafican -38 4abasha Zee t Saint Paul 2, Minnesota -_ ._.l'ZGL GG'LL12Lt, DEALERS IN ACCORDIONS TELEPHONE: CAPITAL 4.2223 y(gOUY May 9, 1960 Honorable Joseph E.

ZONING, CITY OF 1313 CITY 11ALL,AND 4OURT 1101151 Mr. Joseph Okoneski City Clerk Building Dear Sir: SAINT PAUL SAINT PAUL 2, ININN1101A November 25, 1959 C 1 This is in the matter of the petition of Ralph Traficante to rezone from "B" residence to "C" residence vacant property located on the southwest corner of Baker Street and Brown Avenue. 'The property is described as Lots 1 thru 8 inclusive, West Side Land and Cottage Co.'s Subdivision of Block 36, Brown & Jacksons Addition to West St. Paul. The zoning_ is "B" residence and has been since the adoption of the Ordinance in 1922. The Commissioner of Finance in a letter to the City Council dated October 2, 1959, reported the petition to be sufficient and that the owners of 20 of a possible 24 tracts of land within the prescribed 100 foot radius (83.33 %) bad signed the petition. , The property under consideration was sold to the petitioner by the City of St. Paul on April 6, 1959. It was the former site of the Hendricks'School. The applicant proposes to construct three eleven -unit apartment buildings with 33 off - street parking spaces accessory - thereto as indicated on the attached plot plan. The proposed development meets the recommended standards for density and building ground coverage. The site-has a frontage of 317 feet along Baker Street and a depth of 123 feet, resulting in an area'of 38,991 square feet, or .9 of an acre. Directly west and adjoining are three residences which front on Baker Street, two are single - family and one is a two - family residence; south and - across an unimproved alley are�five single - family residences which front on Morton Street, two of which were rather.recently11 constructed, also four lots which are undeveloped with two of tLem being used as yards to existing'residences; north and acwss Baker Street is vacant land which is unbuildable because of its steepness in grade; east and across unimproved Brown Avenue (which is approxi- mately 25 feet below the grade of the property under consideration) is a single - family residence. 1 The petitioner's property with relationship to the adjoining streets is as follows: Baker Street adjoining on the north is approximately 12 feet below the petitioner's property at the easterly end, and 8 feet below at the westerly end. Brown Avenue is approximately 25 feet below the petitioner's property. The property itself is level and at grade with the alley adjoining on the south. Baker Street which adjoins this property on the north is graded, but has a steep easterly grade and dead ends at the east end of the petitioner's property. Brown Avenue is ungraded and appears to be a natural drainage draw. Field investigation discloses that this area is developed with single and'two- family residential uses. The general neighborhood consists of older homes with some scattered new residences. Two of the homes adjoining the property under consideration are rather new. To the north and east of this property is a steep bluff line which separates this property and the surrounding neighborhood from Trificante Page 2 the lower level on Concord Street. It is felt that this area should remain as a single and two - family residential neighborhood and that multi - residential use would not be compatible to the existing uses. The proposed land use guide plan indicates that this area should remain as one and two- family residential use and that any proposed multi - residential use should be at the level below the bluff line. Inconsideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the denial of this petition to rezone the above property from "B" residence to "C" residence. HCW:FGI Encl.
