885, 897 and 905 Orchard Street were all acquired by the HRA between 1976
and 1979 for outdoor recreational use as part of the Orchard Recreation Center,

HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SAINT
PAUL, MINNESOTA
REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONERS DATE: September 8,
1999
REGARDING Authorization to Convey 736 Laurel Avenue in Summit
University District 8 and 895-905 Orchard Street in the North End
District 6 Areas to the City of Saint Paul Division of Parks and
Recreation (Public Hearing)
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to request authorization to execute the conveyance
of 736 Laurel Avenue and 895-905 Orchard Street to the City of Saint Paul
Division of Parks and Recreation.
Background
736 Laurel Avenue was purchased by the HRA in April, 1971 under the Summit
University Urban Renewal Project. The property was included in City Council
Resolution 272467 on January 30, 1979 as part of a joint land use agreement
between the City of Saint Paul and Independent School District 625 for
recreational use for Webster Magnet School, the adjoining property. It is
presumed that the HRA would convey the property to Parks and Rec shortly
before the joint land use agreement was made.
885, 897 and 905 Orchard Street were all acquired by the HRA between 1976
and 1979 for outdoor recreational use as part of the Orchard Recreation Center,
the adjacent property which was built in 1978. After review of the documents, it
appears the list of properties were intended to be, but never were conveyed from
the HRA to the City of Saint Paul Division of Parks and Recreation.
a q - �o�
Transaction Information
The HRA will convey the properties to the City of Saint Paul Division of Parks
and Recreation without cost.
Public Purpose
The conveyance of 736 Laurel Avenue and 89�905 Orchard Street will allow the
City of Saint Paul Division of Parks and Recreation and Independent School
District 625, who have a joint land use agreement, to continue to use these
properties for recreational purposes.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the conveyance of 736 Laurel Avenue and
895-905 Orchard Street to the City of Saint Paul Parks and Recreation.
Statement of Chairman
Being duly authorized by the Board of Commissioners to conduct this Public
Hearing, the hearing is now open. This is a Public Hearing called for the
proposed disposition of certain parcels of land located in Districts 8 and 6 by the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota
(HRA).
Notice of time, place and purpose of this hearing was published in the Saint Paul
Pioneer Press on Saturday, August 28, 1999. The a�davit of publication of the
Notice of Public Hearing wi{I be made part of these proceedings.
The HRA proposes to convey the properties in Summit University District 8 and
North End District 6 areas. Conveyance of these properties will place title in the
correct legal entity and will assure that Parks and Recreation and Independent
School District 625 can continue to use these properties for recreational
purposes.
Is there anyone who wishes to be heard on these sales? If not, the Chair will
declare this Public Hearing adjourned.
