Mr. L. E. • Stepp was present -at the meeting and asked permission to open a stand for the purpose of selling fruit and vegetables on Broadway South of the Cooperative 011.Service Station. Upon motion by McPherson, second by Anderson, ,permission was granted Mr. Stepp to operate the said stand at the location as requested. The following opinion submitted by the City Attorney was read and the same was ordered placed on file: April 17th, 1950 In the Matter of the Application of Rose Shattuck The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minnesota Gentlemen: The records indicate that first the owner of the property in question which is now classed as residential made application to change the classification from residential to commercial. This application was rejected. Following this an application was made asking that the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance be varied to permit the operation of a beauty parlor in a residential area. The applicant was not the owner of the property, nor did she maintain the house as her dwelling. Under Section j, Subdivision "A", the offices of one engaged In a profession may be maintained in his dwelling. Clearly this application does not'f all within this provision. A Zoning Ordinance clearly appears to be a law for the purpose of regulating the use of property by the owners thereof and not one governing or regulating.trades or professions by the individual. The necessity for reasonable regulation as to the use of lands and buildings thereon in cities is plain enough. Lack of such regulation stimulates to some extent each owner to use his land or build thereon in a manner oftentimes quite harmful to his neighbor and to the community as well. Absence of adequate regulation *as cost our cities vast sums in property values, and in many instances has materaially interfered with public health, safety and welfare, due to congestion which might have been avoided. InnV opinion, it Is perfectly proper to conclude that the Zoning Ordinance is an ordinance giving this governing body the right to regulate the use of the lands by the owners of the properties in question. It is not broad enough to permit the use of certain properties not even owned by the applicant and to which the owner thereof can not consent. The question -appears as to whether or not this Council can vary the terms of the Zoning Law so as to permit such use of residential property by one who does not own or use the premises as their dwelling. To grant this application under Section 10, Sub -division 3, permitting the use requested of residential property is not within the powers granted by the Ordinance. The power of variation is to be sparingly exercised and only in rare instances and under exceptional circumstances peculiar in their -nature, and with due regard to the main purpose -of a Zoning Ordinance to preserve the property rights of others. In Real Properties Inc. vs. Board -of Appeal of Boston, 65. NE (2d) 199, the Court said, "The unhappy financial position of one single owner, although a factor, is not of itself enough" to justify a decision of the Board of Appeal of Boston varying the application of the City Zoning Law. 'Variance, due to practical difficulties or peculiar hardships where such difficulties or hardships affect the property owner may be considred but, as the Massachusetts Court states, even the unhappy financial position of a single owner is not enough. The applicant therein is not an owner, andthe Zoning Ordinance, adopted for the orderly development of this City, does not permit variances merely for the purpose of furthering a business venture.

Hunt City Attorney" Aet#)Drd of Official Proceedings of the: C®xnmen Council, of the City„of Rochester;.lVIirr:,- April, 1:7, :1950 W 9 A.motion was made by Miner, second by Helmkay,.that a special permit be issued to.Mrs. Rose Shattuck, giving her permission to operate a beauty..parlor at the location of 1301 Second Street Southwest, Mr. Hobert Petersdorf, Business Manager for the Trades and Labor.
