A ~Jite visit was completed on August 10, 2001. 1.2 Kathleen Agness has requested a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Business (B) and a Rezoning from Single Family Residence District (R-l) to Limited Business District (B-1) and/or an Interim Use Permit (City Code Section 1 0 12.09) on the property located at 2256 Lexington Ave. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 The 20,271 sJ. (97.7'x 207.1') property located at 2256 Lexington Avenue was formerly the Rymer School of Fine Arts Academy, a use that existed on the property for approximately 40 years (1960 to 2000). The building is estimated to be 2,700 sJ. in size. The building is 75+ years old and was originally a single family residence (1925 to 1960). Parking spaces (16 to 20) exist behind the building where paJ:'kiug pavement has covered the majority of the rear yard. 2.2 The buyer/seller assumed that a special use permit was issued to the Rymer Academy that could apply to Schorn Realty, In 1960, when Rymer applied for the pennit to operate in this building, the original application was for a rezoning to a B-1 zone. The City Council and attorney at that time decided a more appropriate solution was a special use permit for the music school only. (Attached are the re-typed ~ for readability only ~ meeting minutes ofthe Planning Commission and Council in 1960.) Unfortunately for the applicant, in 1960 these special use permits were only recorded in City records, not with Ramsey County's recorder. This may have caused some of the confusion over zoning and permitted uses.
