Council President James scheibel an
Members of the City Council
City Hall
Saint Paul , Minnesota 55102
Dear President Scheibel and Member of the City Council :
In June of last year, Council Pres dent Scheibel sent me a letter that
raised questions about administrat ve procedures and enforcement of
code requirements of historic stru tures, questions which were
prompted by the demolition of a po ch as 270 West Seventh Street in
the Irvine Park Heritage Preserva ion District. I indicated that I
would ask the Planning Division o the Department of Planning and
Economic Development to review th various building code and historic
preservation regulations that wer applicable to situations like this
and advise me whether clarificati n of policies, procedures or
ordinances was needed.
The Department of Planning and E nomic Development has responded with
a recommendation for an ordinanc amendment, which is described in the
attached memo from Peggy Reicher , Deputy Director for Planning. I am
transmitting the proposed ordina ce amendment to the City Council for
its consideration and action.
If the City Council adopts the o dinance amendment, I will direct the
Department of Community Service to develop appropriate administrative
procedures, including necessary staff training, to insure that these
policies are implemented.
. It is my hope that this ordinan e amendment will prevent a repeat of
the 270 West Seventh Street sit ation at other locations in the City' s
heritage preservation districts and sites . Thank you for bringing
this issue to my attention.
Yours truly,
George Latimer
Mayor
