RE: Report of the Saint Paul Long Range Capital Improvement Budget
(CIBj Committee on Gycle X Neighborhood Partnership Program
Applications
The Saint Paul Long Range Capital Improvement Budget Committee met on
June 9, 1988, to review applications for Cycle X of the Neighborhood
Partnership Program. The specific charge of the CIB Committee is to
review proposals for conformance with City Council adopted Capital
Allocation Policies. In addition, the Committee considered each
proposal in light of its appropriateness for use of capital
improvement dollars.
The CIB Committee does not rate proposals which do not include a
capital improvement component but which are requesting financing for
seryice proqrams. An "NR" in the rating column is used for such
proposals.
The rating given by the CIB Committee to each proposal, based on a
range of 0 points for a low funding priority to 3 points for a high
funding priority, is as follows:
PROPOSAL RATING
District 5 Comprehensive Housing Program 3
East of �Rice Revitalization Project 3
Hamline Playqround Building Reuse 0
Low Income Artist Housing Initiative 1
Lowertown Streetscape Extension 2
' Merriam Park Playground Renovation 2**

� Concord Street area. The project is needed: i) because the homes in question
have serious problems which if untreated will in the next tive to ten years
adversely aftect the livability of the homes, reduce their property values, and
potentially create blighted conditions in the community; and 2} because the
incomes of the owner-occupant households are r�ery low, with the consequence
that the owners are generolly unable to correct the problems of their homes
without speciel assistance.
Additionatly, the needs of these homes must be tackled through a special
pro j ect because the physi cal probl ems of the homes are both common to el l of
the approximately 100 Section '235` homes in this small area, end because
neither the physica�l problems of the homes nor tfis necessary remedial actions
are understood by the owners. Thus a special outreach, including en
educationat component, will be needed in order to be successful in an effort
ta get the needed correctiue work done in these homes.
� The problems to be corrected generally relate to ventilation and insulation.
Owners can see superficial displays ot the problems in mold on walls and.
ceilings, and sweating, fro�t and ice on windows and doors. Most of the
owners of the�e tiomes e�e minoc��ties �Hispenics, Filipinos and others) and are �
rel�tivety unfemiliar with home m�inienance needs in the Minnesota climate.
The o�rners now treat the mold and other manifestations of the moisture
problems as annoyances, wiping mold away with vinegar, etc. Generally the
owners do not realize thet the moisture is elso affecting structurol members,
nor- do they have any understanding of the steps �eeded to elimi,nate the
moi sture probl em.
The actual steps needed falt into three categories: t} house doctoring, to
correct the "quick and e�sy" physical problems; 2) education for occupants on
control of moisture in their homes; and 3) rehab to correct the costlier
physical problems. The proposed NPP supported project will basically nddress
the rehab to correct the costiier physicol problems; in addition, S 1,100 of NPP
: . .funds witl be used for development �nd printing of an educetional brochure on _
_ moisture control for these homes. For the House Doctoring, WSNHS has ��
arr$nged with Neighborhood,Energy Consortium, with WSi�HS doing the
outreach to coordinate the efforf with the Targetted Rehab project.
The �NPP funded 'Targetted Home Rehab Project" will function as follows.
Homeowners at or below 80� of inedian income, with homes built since 1966 '
in Census Tract 361 can qublity. NPP funds will be provided up as deferred
loans up to a maximum of �5,004. All NPP funds must be used tor necesssry
reh�eb items including the major a�entitation and insuletion problems of the
�. � . houae, auch oa correction ot the uninsuloted metol scuttle door to the ottiC,
; -�=window and door repairs or replacemenis, gutters, or drain�ge correction ��/���
around toundations. Amor�g other necessary rehab items, new roots will be a
frequent item. There will be a matching requirement: e homeowner will
qualify tor each dollar ot NPP deierred laan assistance by making one doliar ot
rehab paid for outside of NPP funds (up to the limit of 55,000 in deterred loan).
The additional rehab will generally tre financed through an instatlment loan to
the homeowner from the wSNHS Revolving Loan Fund. �
Some examples will illustrate how these program guidelines will work:
-If the total necessary rehab work to be done on a home totels to �9,000
and no other rehab work is desired, then if the owner applied for a E4,SOO loan
from the Revolving Loan Fund, they aiso would quelify for a �4,500 deferred
losn.
-if another owner had only s6,000 of necessary work but wanted to do �
53,000 in other home improvements, they could atso receive a deterred loan
of =4,500 by applying for a Revolving Loan Fund loan of 54,500.
-If a home has s7,000 of necessary impro+rments, and the owner wanted
only to do those improvments, then the deferred losn available would be
�3,500 if the owner took a Revolving Loan Fund loan for �3,500.

S• 8riefly describe� the specific �problem/need your project is designad
to address ar►d cite refereaces if possible from City.Compzehensive Plans.
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
.Tbe propo�ed project is designed to address the maintenance of the existing
. housing stock, and the maintenance of neighborhoods. Although the homes and
households tc be served are owner occupant, their incomes are quite low, and thus
� the project will also serve the goal of maintaining housing stock for lower
income people, . and the �goal of maintaining and fncreasing homeownership especi-
ally among low/moderate income families.
. "St. Paul TomorroW" includet among its objectives for managfng the housing
supply the following: "Encouzage every reasonable means to maintain lower income
housing that exists in the City today. . . .'�
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your pro3ect.
1 . Eliminate potentially blighting conditions in at least 34 of the "235'•
homes in census tract 361.
2• Assist 34 or more homeowners in census tract 361 to control thefr home
heating costs through installatfon of energy-saving improvments.
3. Provide ex�mple, stimulus and support for rehab and improvement efforts�
by other residential and-business property owners in the immediately l
su�rounding Concord Street area.
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable terms� the specific results and
impact your project will�achieve when completed.
i . Elimination of threat of structural deteriorstion in �34 single family
homes, through investment of �156,400 of NPP funds and at least 5215,400
� of matching investment by homeowners in general rehab and in specific
measures to correct ventilatfon/insulation problems. � .
2. Assure the viability of the 34 homes for the next ten� to i5 �years, and ' •
increase•the projected useful life of the 34 homes by 30 to 40 'L.

8. In order to accomplish your objectives does youz project have to be
" coordinated with any other pzoject/program? Yes � ho If
Yes� describe the other project/piogram and the relatioru ih p. _
The project will be tightly and primarily •coordinated �.•ith the West Side
::eighborhood Housing Sezvices Revolving Loan Fund. Homeowner's matching
investments will be ffnanced through loans from the RLF, and scopes of work,
contractor bidding and other steps in the improvement process will be bandled
by the WSNHS Rehab Specialist.
Additionally, the program will be tightly coordinatec With the St. Paul
Aeighborhood Energy Consortium's House Doctor pzogram. By agreement wfth
. � NEC, WSNHS will promote the House Doctor program to owners of the "235"
' homes; the House Doctor pzogzam will be a ffrst step to resolve the ventilation
and we therization problems of'these homes. Also, in the course of the House
Doctoring, homeowners will be infozmed about the rehab needs of their homes, and
of the WSNHS Revolvfng Loan Fund (and of the I��P project, once approved), as a
resouzce availsble to them.
9. �►Till this project be completed in 2 years? Yes XXX �o , If not
explain how it will become self-sustaining without further NPP funding.
West Side NHS vill complete the use of �175,000 to assist 34 or more homes
within 2 years or less.
10. Will this project result in increased maintenance and operating costs?
Yes No XXX . If Yes, explain how the project wfll
privately pay for those costs.
�
. There wfll be no increased maintenance or opezating costs for the
city due to this project.
Incressed opera'ting costs for WSNHS will be moderate since WSNHS has the
necessary staff capacfties to carry out the project. The operating costs
that will correspond to the project will be for staff time for instance for
the Rehab Specialist's work in preparing the scopes of •work for rehab items
. , � � being paid for�out of project funds. Hos�ever, since the ventilation/weather-
. ization problems of [hese homes, and the corrective measures needed are quite "
uniform across all the hotises, the cost of preparing scopes should be moderate
since the scopes wi,ll be�`somewhat replicable. Thus the budget for the proposal
sets just 10'L for.,s�aff time. costs.

17. How does this proposal meet the intent and goals of the Neighborhood
Partnership Program:
This proposal resulted from community concern (both from an economic and bealth
standpoint) over the future of tbese "235" homes. The stability of these bomes,
which are very prominent in this particulaz area due to the large number of them,
has a very definite affect on the community. Without the funding of this NPP pro-
posal, the problems with these homes xill not be corrected since the� homeo�mers (by
� the nature of the 235 progzam) are lover income and cannot afford the monthly payments
a typical zehab losn would rec}uire. Due to the number of these homes (about 100, in.
an area With 200 homes altogether), visible blight will be obvious in less thsn •5
years, and the cost� (both -in terhsns of dollars and interest) to turn the Aeighbo�hood
around wil� be extensfve. At this tiII►e there is still interest in the neighborhood
to rehab homes and improve the property, the prfvate levezaging thst may not be theze
� ia the future. • ..

(Yrivate Match)
10. What evidence is there that the above declarations are reslistic? •
, (Busiaess expansion sad.private development proposals must demonstrate
the probability of private lendez support.)
Of the �189,400 of match investment by participants, $156,400 is absolutely
� assured since the project will be structuzed with a rule that homeowners
will receive as much NPP deferred loan assistance (up to a limit of SS,000)
as they put into the project in additional investment financed through
the WSNHS Revolving Loan Fund (1:1 match required), and �156,400 is the
amount budge�ted for deferred loans that will have to be matched.
� Some homeovners will want to do additional work items taking their total
rehab cost over ;�10,000, and will be able to afford to do so for small .
.. � increases over the minimum match requfrement. We estimate that up to one-
third of all participants vill make such investments above t�e minimum, with � •
the average amount over the minimum among these befng ;1,000. Thus 11
' partici�ants will invest an average of ;1,000 above the minimum match,
totaling s33,000: While the owners are lower- income, the desire to do some
additional home �mprovment "Wbile ve're at it", fs as strong for them as �
for anyone, �and at WSNHB Revolving Loan Fund affordable interest rates, •
about a third� of the.owners Will problably want to and be able to take
loans sompsahat above the minimum match in order to furtl�er improve theiz home.
� .
t Due to the� informational/educational meetings, i[ is zealistic to assume that
an ad�dit�ional ten homeowners will make some repairs to their homes, • although
not qualifying for or not taking _advantage of the NPP funds. For these ten
it is reasonable to assume �2,500 of expenses and 51 ,000 of sweat equity each.

2. Is it a loan or grant request? GRANT
3. i�'hat is the to�al declaration of neighborhood contributions? (complete

4. Describe in detail your project -primar} purpose, specific features,
guidelines, etc. (If multiple projects are proposed, i.e. residential
rehab and chore service, each must be separately described) .
The purpose of this project is to provide funds for rehabilitation of poor housina
stock as identified in the Comprehensive Plan for low to moderate income owners;
this builds neighborhood self-help.
Traditionally the recent past suaaests, it was difficult to motivate residents from
the do�vnward spiral of poverty and the encumbent loss of self-esteem. Recently,
however; revitalization of housino stock in the Aurora-St. Anthony area, Ramsey
Hill area, and scattered new housinq has piqued new interest. Additionally, St1PC
is workina throuah a task force to identify and correct problem properties. This
new interest in cominunity and the encum5ent self-help gives the presidents hope
toward obtainino their personal aoals, a pride in living and an enhanced self-
es.teem. Along with the versonal� realizations, the overall quality of life in the
� neiahborhood would be impro��ed and stabilized, aesthetics� enhanced and the new �
sense of self-esteem and revitalization is inaourated. This resultino pride would �
stabilize the population and attract new buyers to the neiahborhood, thus increas-
ino the value of homes and the conce�t of better neiohborhoods becomes reality.
The proof that the area is ready for NP? monies and revitalization is witnessed
in the attached pledaes of interest in the project from residents of the qrid.

NPP Application Page 3 Pro�ect Name REHABILITATION TP.RGET PROJECT
5. Briefly describe, the specific problem/need your project is designed
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
Traditionally the area taroeted has been slow to motivate toward rehabilitation. As
outlined in �4 the positive activity in �istrict 8 currently (also witness "St.
Paul Greenina" at Selby-Dale, Selby Ave. Cor.mercial Club activity, the new Marshall-
Iglehardt block club which anchors the tarqet area, the marketinq for new condo-
miniums on Dale near Selby, as well as the housina stock improvement in the Aurora-
St. Anthony area of District 8) indicates a readiness for this NPP project.
*Housing conditions are poor in District 8 and the project is designed to improve the
exterior of 34 or more properties in the area desianated in �14 of paqe 11 of The
Comprehensive Plan (bounded by Chatsworth, Selby, St. Albans and Iqlehart). Selby Ave.
is not to be included because: 1) It is predominately commercial ; 2) Another proqram
is beina crafted; 3) The Corrmercial Club has received an NPP grant; 4) The Con�nercial
Club will apply for another arant in the future to address all comnercial and resi-
dential buildinos in their revitalization plan.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your project.
I. Improve exterior of owner-occupied properties
a) Exterior rehabilitation (porches, siding, doors, windows, . ..)
b) Structural (foundation, roof, oaraae, . . . )
c) Property features (driveways , rralkways, fences, lightinq, . . .)
II. Preserve current housina stock and renew its vitality and liveability.
III. Build self-esteem by beautifyina the neiohborhood.
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable tez�s, the specific results and
impact your project will achieve when completed.
*To provide incentive for 1�% (of 34) of the homeowner population of the targeted
area by uparading existing properties. This would achieve an improvement in the
quality of life and ensure a stronger housino stock and more� stable population base
. in the district. Moreover, the enhanced neighborhood aesthetics would enduce pride
and revitalization in our community. � . ��
*34 homeowners will complete at least $2,���-52,500 worth of repairs to their homes.
*The neiahborhood will unify with oride in o�.�rnership and pique the interest of others
in the neiahborhood creatina better neiahbors and better neighborhoods.

5. Briefly describe, the specific pzoblem/need your project is designed
to address andlcite references if possible from City Compzehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen'�Participation Goals and/or other studies. ThiS pt'Op0581 can be
seen as a buttress to the Coalition's two existing NPP projects, both of which deal with
commercial and residential rehabilitation, and public improvements, on Snelling Avenue and in
the surround;ng neighborhood. The basic problems with Snelling is that it has no image, and
has little relationship to th� surrounding neighborhood: It feels like a state highway
that happnes to be located in a residential neighborhood. Our two existing NPP projects deal
v,ith these problems primarily through public im�rovements, the design of which will be relate
to the residential charac�ter of the neighborhood.
7his proposal deals with the same problems. The Hamline Playground building is one of
tne few buildings on Snel�ling with a truly historic character. It holds a great many memo-
ries f or neiohborhood res�dents. Its survival r,�ould go a long way toward helping produce an
image f or Snelling, and wpuld help bridge the gap between Snelling and the neighborhood.
The District Plan points to the "functioning and aesthetics" of Snelling as important
goals. 7he current list of Coalition goals lists the saving of this building as a priority.
The project fits with the city' s comprehensive plan in several ways, notably in the promotior
of business strips. The Mayor' s Neighborhood Initiative Program is intended to promote neigt
6. Please list in order of prio:ity the three most importar►t objectives
of your project:

the saving o` historic bui,ldings.
1. To ensure the survival ,of the buil�ing zt Hamline Playground;
2. To ensure re-use by a non-profit or comr,:unity oraanization, in order to maintain somethinc
of the building's "public"character.
3. To enhance the image of Snelling Avenue within the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
7 . Briefly describe, in quantifiable ter�s , the specific results an3
impact your pzoject will achieve �:hen completed.
After this project is complete, the builcing r:ill have been rehabilitated, and it will be

13. Describe how your organization will manage this project - activities .
responsibilities, membership participation, etc. The project will be managed i�
a manner similar to our current t�aP projects. Our NPP projects are overseen by a NPP Pro-
ject Monitoring Committee, which includes memebrs from the Midway Coalition Board as well as
residents, property owners, and business owners from the project target areas. The
Monitoring Corrnnittee reports its activities twice monthly, to full board meetings as well to
the Exec��ive Committee. Basic policy and procedure issues are approved by the Coalition Boa
upon recommendation by the Monitoring Committee. Most smaller decisions are left to the
N�onitoring Committee.
w'ithin the Monitoring Committee, the specifics of this project will be overseen by a sub-
com�nittee, already in place, called th� Hamline Playground Planners. N�emebrs of the Planners
include 7 neighborhood residents.
14. GTho is the designated project manageZ?
Describe his/her background, skil2s and experience in managing similar
type projects. �
There is a staff transition occurring at the Coalition. �t this point, it is uncertain
who the project manager M�ill be.
15. Describe the citizen participatian process for this project.
The Hamline Playground Planners have been most extensively involved with the planning of thi
proposal , as well as with the efforst to prevent the building's demolition. Members were
recruitec for the Planners for a perio� of at least six months, throuah flyering, re-
cruitine at several public meetings, cnd articles in the Midway Monitor and the Midway

in support o` the effort to save the building; the Planners have also door-knocked the n�igt
borhood residents and businesses on the issue. They have also solicited and received lette�
of support from many community institutions, such as churche5, day-care centers, and so on.
The same methods will be used to ensure support fo any specific re-use for the building.

17. How does this proposal meet the intent and goals of the Neighborhood
Partnership Program:
- The Nayor' s Neighborhood Initiatives Program cites "livability" as a priority, and this prc
� ject addresses that idea directly.
- The project addresses priority needs as identified in many planning documents, from the
District Plan to the city's Comprehensive Plan.
- The fundinc will fill a financial ga�, since it is very unlikely that a non-profit group
could mee: any but a small portion of :he costs of rehabilitation.
- Many residents and businesses h�ill be involve� in the planning of the project.
- The f undin9 requested does not duplicate funding available elsewhere in the city.
- The hP� guidelines cite "innovation" as a goa1 . This project represents an innovative
approach to the constant tension existing betwepn neighborhoods and the Department of Parks
and Recreation, as that department struggles to constantly meet bud9et constraints.

Planting of deciduous and coaiferous trees as space permits to achieve
esthetic, noise reduction, aad landscape objectives in order to screen the
neighborhood on the east side of T.R. 280 from Buford to Territorial Road and
along the north and south sides of the Burlington Northern railroad �racks from
T.H. 280 to Fifield Street. The trees will be planted in coordination with
MNDOT and Burlington Northern follo�-ing a design plan developed in cooperation
with the University of Nlinnesota Department of Forestrp, the Citp of St. Paul,
and the St. Antnony Park Green Co�ittee. Trees will be planted by community
. volunteers in two phases during the te:m of the project with' plantings to be
' done in the spring of 1989 and 1990. 2r'PP funds will be i�sed for purchase and ��
delivery of nursery stock, to rent equipment for site preparation, and to �
clean—up the areas identified above.

4. Project Description (continued)
1. Work with U of M Urban Forestrq Design Dept. to draw up plan for planting.
2. Obtain lowest price for bare root trees and order 1800 trees, half for
delivery in April, 1989 and half for delivery in April, 1990.
3. Get agreement from the National Guard and Fire Dept. for help with watering
duriag the critical periods of the first two years of growth of the trees.
4. Obtain contracts from 200 volunteers to prepare site, and plant trees.
5. Obtain contracts from 50 nearbp residents for Adopt-a-Group-of-Trees
program.
6. Begin neighborhood fundraising effort to supplement NPP funds and support
the project.
7. Arrange for deeding of Burlington Northern gardens site to the Citp of St.
Paul or alter lease to allow for permanent plantings. ,*
8. Arrange with Parks and Rec for contribution of wood chips to put around
trees to keep down weeds and preserve moisture.
9. Arrange for rental of anp equipment needed to accomplish planting.
10. Plant 1800 trees:
900 trees in April-May of 1989
900 trees in April May of 1990
11. k'ater trees weeklp or as needed during dry season between June and
September to ensure survival during the first two pears which are judged to
be the most critical.
12. Train adopt-a-tree volunteers to prune and water after project period ends.
Low and moderate income families w-ill benefit from this buffer project because
those are homes which are located along T.H. 280 and the Burlington Northern
railroad. It is estimated that 47� of this project will be located in North
St. Anthony (2-1 match); 53� in South St. Anthonp (1-1 match). Those homowners
who are CDBG eligible will have trees provided; those homeowners who are not
eligible will pay for their own trees and site prep.
It is estimated that 95� of the trees will be planted on Burlington Northern
and/or MIv'DOT land; 5� could be on private property which will be CDBG
eligible. Otherwise private homeowners will pay the full cost of trees and
site preparation.
* Acquisition of the Burlington Northern land (4.7 acres) which contains the
SAP Community Gardens will be planted as part of the buffer project to •.
benefit low and moderate income households in both North and South St.
Anthony located along the railroad right-of-way. We currently lease the
land from Burlington Northern, but as part of this project propose to ask
the company to deed over the land so we can have control of future
maintenance of any trees planted. If this proposal to BN is not
successful, we will alter our lease to allow for the plantings.

5. Briefly describe, the specific problem/need your project is designed �
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
St. Anthonp Park has long felt the impact of major transportation corridors on
all sides of our community. Recommendations in the revised District 12 Plaa,
1983, documents the desire to address the issues of traffic impact and noise
from a visual as well as abatement perspective. The problems associated with
T.A. 280 and the Burlington Northern Railroad have been identified in a needs
assessment done in 1978 and in 1987. The Goals and Objectives of the Community
Council have listed the need for noise and sight buffers through the use of
plantings to decrease the deterioration of the natural environment. The
University of Minnesota Busway Task Force has focused on noise, sir pollution,
increased traffic levels, and aesthetics for a number of years as a major
concern in District 12. In addition, the St. Paul Comprehensive Plan speaks to
the development pressures which threaten the environmental quality of our
neighborhood. (See policy 1.4-4, 1.4-5, 1.4-6)
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your project.
1. Sight buffers for the residential neighborhood on the east side of T.H.
280 from Buford to Territorial Road and along the north and south sides of the
Burlington Northern railroad tracks from T.H. 280 to Fifield Street. �
2. To the extent possible provide abatement of the noise associated with
T.H. 280 and the railroad tracks through the use of plantings.
3. To provide incentives for the residential/commercial propertp to
address deterioration along these major transportation corridors and enhance
the natural environment. �
4. To encourage and coordinate a neighborhood wide planting of trees to
further improve sight and sound buffers as well as community aesthetics.
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable ter�s, the specific results and
impact your project will achieve when completed.
Planting of 1800 trees along 9400 linear feet on the east side of T.H. 280 from
Buford to Territorial Road and along the north and south sides of the
Burlington Northern railroad tracks from T.H. 280 to Fifield Street to provide � � .
sight buffers, provide some noise abatement, and improvements to 210
residential and commercial properties as a result of the h'PP project.
hPP Application Page 4 Project �ame St. Anthony Park Keighborhood Buffer
8. In order to accomplish your objectives does your project have to be
coordinated with any other project/program? Yes X No If
Yes� describe the other project/program and the relationship.
Project will be coordinated with the third priority of our Better Neighborhoods
Program, Everett Court Sewer Separation Project, MNDOT upgrading of T.H. 280.
and University of Minnesota Buswap Construction.
9. �'ill this project be completed in 2 years? Yes X* No If not,
explain how it will become self-sustaining without further NPP funding.
*During the project period volunteers ��ill be trained to maintain the trees bq watering
as needed and pruning if needed after the project ends. Of course, trees on
private property will be maintained bq the homeowners.
10. Will this project result in increased maintenance and operating costs?
Yes No X . If Yes, explain ho� the project will
privately pay for those costs.

11. Will the project benefit low and moderate income households?
Yes�_ No If 1'es� describe.
The St. Mthony Park neighborhood has shown rather significant change in recent
decades. The percentage of owner occupied housing declined because additional
apartment units were either built or converted from existing single family
units. There has been an increase of female heads of households and a loss of
middle income families with children. The median family income is about $500
below the citywide figure. Eight percent have incomes below the povertp
level. The largest numerical gains during the 1970s were in lower income
faa�.ilies. At least half of this project will be located in census tract 319
which is identified as low to moderate incone and requires a 1 to 1 match under
A'PP guidelines. Because of the high number of rental units (57�), single heads
of households, low income residents, the entize area is eligible for CDBG
funding from the City to support the Community Council. Many of the lower
income residents live near the highwap and the RR tracks. Where it fits in
with the design plan, trees will be planted on property owned by low and
noder��g�in�pm�o,ggo8��anization - history, structu:e, membership, etc. and
its experience in managing similar projects.
Development of highwaps 280 and I-94 removed some housing along the edges of
South St. Anthony Park. Starting in 1969, area residents, working through the
Project Area Committee, made use of federal funds to plan and redevelop a
co�aunity where residential neighborhoods and the industrial area could exist
together. In 1975, in response to the Community Development Block Grant
Program, North and South St. Anthony Park and the W'est Midway District
organizec�. a community council. It is one of St. Paul's 17 citizen
par�icipation councils and is designated as District 12. The St. Anthonq Park
(District 12) Council is composed of five delegates and two alternates from the
residential neighborhoods of North and South St. Anthony Park. The West Midway
business community selects five delegates and two alternates to serve on the
council. The overall goal of the Communits Council is to increase the power of
the neighborhood by providing a mechanism for organizing around issues of
common concern, and by assisting in the development of skills that people need
in order to participate more meaningfully in the decision making processes of
government, human service organizations local institutions. Projects and
activities include providing Meals on kfieels volunteers, sponsorship of a
community garden and composting area, a PAP,.r BUGLE iaformation page, energy
audits and related seminars, and a Crimewatch program. In 1984 the District
Council helped with the revitalization of Como Avenue and supported the NPP �
project. Tasl; :orces have been formed to monitor possible hazardous waste
. si�tes and the� University of Minnesota Inter-Campus Transit �+'ay. A block nurse
• and volunteer visitor program has been set up to help enable senior citizens to
remain living in their own homes. A stud}� of neighborhood housing problems is
currently under way. The Council also serves as the central location for the
Neighborhood Senior Chore Se:vice project funded b} Ramsep Action Programs.
The Council has leased land from the Burlington Northern Railroad for its

Dr. David French, Professor of Urban Fo:estry, I3aiversity of Minnesota, stated:
r'A site barrier as described in this project would enhance the looks of the
area. By not seeing the source of the noise it will not seem as bad to
residents." Dr. French has also committed one of his graduate students to do
the design for this project, for vhich she �.-ill receive academic credit.
The SAP Communitq Gardens committee (60 par�icipants) has indicated strong
•' interest in planting trees on the Burlington Ir'orthern site. They Want fruit
trees here. Theq already have funds set aside when the negotiations with
Burlington Northern are successful.
Members of the NPP planning committee have talked with many affected residents
who have expressed willingness to plant trees on private property �:hen the
project begins. At least �three commercial property owners have indicated that
they would participate. One real estate agent owning property along the BN
right—of—way has said he would support the Council in this effort. An informal
survey along Priscilla indicated that six out of nine residents contacted would
buy trees for their own property if the project is approved. We expect 80°b or
60 homeowners/commercial property o�•ners di:ectlq affected� i.e. , along T.H.
280 and the ,Bl�' tracks, �►zll participate anc 140 homeowners indirectly affected

5. Briefly describe, the specific problem/need your project is designed
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/oz other studies.
Problem: Merriam Park is the only Community Recreation Center in St.Paul without
adequate playground equipment.
The Parks and Recreation portion of the City Comprehensive Plan makes many
statements supportive of this project - perhaps the most succint are found on
Page �1,
(the recreation system) " . . .must address the needs of. ..all ages."
"Program development should include the full participation of
area residents."
Merriam Park's Annual Citizen Participation Goals for 1988-89 include:
"Complete Merriam Pazk Playqround Renovation project."
The District 13 Plan is ten yeazs old, and so does not address this project
specifically. However, the Plan is supportive of the principle of improved
parks.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your project.
a. To create a safe, functional, versatile, long-lasting playground that will
be used and enjoyed by a significant number of children - including the
physically challenged - over many yeazs to come.
b. To increase the opportunity for families in the community to use and enjoy
Merriam Park together.
c. To increase the ilit of and
y , participation in, the citizen partici-
pation organization and recreation programs in Merriam Park.
7. Briefly describe� in quantifiable terms, the specific results and
impact your project will achieve when completed.
a. The creation of one safe, attractive, well-utilized playground for children
of a range of ages, whict-, is also handicapped accessible.
b. At least double the numbez of children who currently use the "Tot Lot."
c. Provide at least two dozen local families with the opportunity to have
. their" younger children play in the playground while parents play basketball,
tennis, volleyball,etc. � ..
d. Promote a major goal of t:�e Community Council - to increase the number
of owner-occupied homes - by informing the six major realty companies
in the area that the new playground is available for the enjoyment of young
families considering making their homes in Merriam Park.

The Merriam Park Community Council is in its 20th year in 1988 - which makes it
one if the oldest "grassroots"� citizen organizations in the Z�ain Cities! The
Council operates on a committee structure, with three standing committees
that meet regularly, and ad-hoc committees that aze formed to respond to shorter-
term issues. Everyone who lives in or works in Merriam Park is considered
a member. Delegates who serve on a board of directors are chosen according to geo-
graphic sub-sets called "grids", and may also be appointed by an organization
recognized by the Council (churches, schools, business organizations,etc.) .
The Cocncil's history includes a zange of projects. The most recent playground -
related project was the first phase of inrorovements planned for Aldine Playqround.
Neighborhood Partnership Program funds were used very successfully by the
Community Council to begin a variety of improvements there in 1986.

4. Project Description (continued)
Members of the entire group, young and old, will form research teams to conduct
their own original research. They will meet once a week through the summer
to discuss progress and new discovezies, sharing their knowledge with one
another. The Project Director is responsible for scheduling meetings with
these research teams , and for providing research and resource assistance.
The published record of the project , tentatively titled A Sense of Place,
will be a series of short subjects. Content will be determined by project par�
ticipants. The Lex-Ham neighborhood is full of history--the Lexington Ballpark,
home of the St. Paul Saints ; homes where gangsters hid out on the lam from

The history which surrounds community residents every day will be our subject,
and exp�oring:=the:details-of that fiistory will furthez�=bond residents of
this inner-cit�. neighborhood.
Both the book and the project itself w•ill benefit any community interested
in �exiting its heritage and preparing for its future. The process is
as important, if not more important, than the product. A Sense of Place
will include a "how to" section written by participants . This guide will de-
tail methodology and resource information for others and help participants
to clazify and retain the valuable thinking, research and writing skills used �
during the book' s production. Further, information and documentation col-
lected during the book' s production will form the foundation .for _the Lexington-
Hamline Community Archives . The history of the community will remain in
the community. +
A Sense of Place will provide a unique opportunity for project participants
to delve into the history of this neighbozhood, and docurnent their own .
interpretation of that history. It will truly remain a source of community
history, information and pride for years to come.

5. Briefly describe, the specific problea/need your project is designed
to address and cite refe:ences if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals anZ/or other studies.
A Sense of Place is designed to f oster continuing commitment to this
neighborhood by adults, and to inspize commitment by youth. As this
azea continues to grow and change , this commitment becomes increasingly
vital to its survival. Without proper "care and feeding,'' neighborhoods
deter.�araEe; if residents learn to care now, esPecially young residents,
they will be active in their neighborhood' s future.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your project.
1 . Education. ASOP and its accompanying classes and activities will
help residents , espe�ially youth, learn about the neighborhood' s past
and how they can be active in its future.
2. Participation. ASOP will establish lasting bonds between residents
in this diverse community that will make them true nei hbors.
Despite their differences , Lex-Ham zesidents will strengt en their
common bond--their neighborhood.
3. Continuity. ASOP will help residents create their own sense of
place. By helping residents work together on one project, relation-
ships established will continue to others . By working with neighborhood
adults already active , we hope that their concern for the community wil;
"rub off" on youth, who will in turn pass this commitment to future �
generations.
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable terss, the specific results and
impact yourr pro'ect will achieve he co e ed.
The project s md�st concret� proc�"uc�' wl�} �e the book, A Sense of Place.
The book will be documentary evidence of neighborhood cooperation
at its f ines�. ASOP will pzeserve and present neighborhood histozy
for this generation, and generations to come. The experience, however,
� will eclipse the book' s importance--neighborhood residents will be '
empowered by working with one another on a project which will assure �
growth and continued activism in this community.

11. G�ill the project benefit low and moderate income households?
Yes_g� po If Yes, describe.
This project is community wide and need blind. All households , regard-
less of income, need a sense of place for neighborhood commitment.
ASOP will bring in people who have been disenfranchised in the com-
muni�y such as youth and older adults .
Lex-Ham is a low and moderate �ncome neighborhood. By this
definition, over 60 families are conmited to this project, and will
benef it from it.
12. Describe your organization - history, structure, membership, etc, and
i�s experience in managing similar projects.
The Lexington-Hamline Community Council was established in 1968.
When the residents formed the Community Council , the future of the
neighborhood was uncertain and the general purpose of the Council
was , and still is , organizing neighborhood residents to bring about
changes that will improve the area ' s quality of lifP. Since then, the
Council �as had a history of community-initiated activities, like
this oae, that have repeatedly demonstrated how an organized neighborhood
can bring about positive change in the community. Some notable
exam�les: the implementation of a neighborhood-based energy conserva-
tion project; a major crime prevention effort which reduced the burglary
rate by over 5090; and the Resident Controlled Affordable Housing
Project which maintains seven houses , previously public housing units ,
as low income housing controlled by neighborhood residents.
The Community Council is governed by a board of directors
conprised of elected off icers , elected directors , and appointed rep-
resentatives from standing committees . Each member of the Board must
be a resident of Lexington-Hamline ; the Board meets monthly. Lex-Ham' s
membezsr.ip currently stands at 4�0 members .

foi- tne g�ar�t application to the heighbor'r,00d Partnership Pragi-a-. for the
Lo�:ertown Streetscape Extension Project. �
The S:�O.000 grant funding is an important investrent fo� the Ci:�. It �;ill
�;ot onl� e�pand the lighting and landscap;ng program, alread� prcven to be
s�cces�iul , but �ill strengthen the pub:ic%private partnership o: Lowertoc►i;.
�+e at Historic Landmarks are especially concerned that the project be funded.
Znere a�e a total of �?5 apartment units :n our three buildings �n Lowerto�n.
�+e feel that wlth all the new housing w�.ich has created the nec: �owert�wn
r�eigh�oi-hood. there is a definite need f or safe. well-lit streets. In
particular. the extension of lighting to the area around the Farr.ers' Market
is ci-ucisl to the parking rarap we plan to build or, the corner be�lnd the
Parkside building. at Fifth and Wall Stree�s. Beszdes increasing safety.
expanding the landscaping and histoi-ic �igr,ting can only add r.�ore charr„ and
character to the heritage district of Lowe:town.
�e think that the estia,ated assessn,ents oi S7.05 per foot per yeai- for capital

400 Sibley Street , Suite 590
St . Paul, MN 55101
Dear �,'eiming:
This is a letter of support in your request for NPP funds to
extenc the Lowertown Streetscape Project . As a Downtovn
Commur.ity Development Council Board me�ber , I supported this
extremely valuable project last year during the CIB funding
process , and spoke out in favor of it at the City Council public
hearing. The improved safety , attractiveness and property value
which would result from the Lowertovn Streetscape Extension are
crucial in encouraging visitors and dovntown business people to
explore Lowertown . Completion of this project is also essential
if we hope to increase our resident population in Lowertown .
I have a psrticular interest in the Lowertown Streetscape
Extension because not only am I a DCDC Board member--I am also a
do�.•ntown resident. I have several friends living in other
Lovertown residences and I like to visit them at night . This
brings up the issue of lighting in particular and the need for a
woman walking alone at night dovntovn to feel safe and
comfortable in her environment . I currently do not because of
the limfted lighting in Lowertovn .
Weiming , I truly feel this project deserves immediate funding.
Continuing the safety features and decorative ambience begun in �
Lovertown will encourage workers to enjoy its uniqueness after
work (even in the darkness of vinter) ; create a pleasant walkway
for visitors to explore shops � restaurants and cultural
amenities ; and provide basic safety and a beautiful neighborhood
for its residents.
Good luck Lo you in obtaining hPP fuading for the Lowertown
Streetscape Extension.
Sincerely ,
�C:t�.

4, Project Description (continued)
Allo�rance�ii!allow tenants to make leasehold improvements customited to their artistic and familq needs,and
is an innovative ansWer to the great problem similar ventures in the pa.ct have presented to lo�v income artists
�ho moved into a project but didn't have enough money to build the improvements needed to produce their
�vorr.
At this time,Artspace is a for fee consultant to developers creating artist housing,assisting in analyzing
market feasibilitq, designing the uaits, leasi.ng the units,and forming and organiaing leasehoid cooperatives.
Before ihe end of the year, ho�rever,Artspace Will be positioned to participate in the oWnership of buildings
tbat are viable as a center for artist housing and related artist activity such as galleries,space for architect
firms,etc. NPP funding�rill be used to allow Artspace to 1.age a more direct role in the decision-making in the
planning,implementation, and ongoing success of artist housing in partnership With a for profit or non-
profit developer.
The portion of monies not used in ihe Worg Improvemeni Allowance will be used to renovate and maintain
underused space into long-term, affordable, code-compliant, live/work,resident-controlled space for lo�v
income artists and their families. The impact o[the NPP funding will go far beyond ihe financial closing of
the project and will be seen in its effect oa the Worgspace Improvements and the oagoing maintenance of the
resident cooperative associatio�.
On February 24, 1988 the Artspace Board of Directors and staff formulated a document utled Artspace Guideliaes
for Developmeat of Ne�r Space for Artists Over Ir'eat T�o Years.'The first guideline cleariy states that Arispace
Wi1t serve "those !ow income artists who need affordable Iive/WOrg family housing." The document states tbai
"Artspace�ill carry out projects that create a larger artist community,developi�g a critical mass of artistic
activity within a given area raiher than isolated artist bo]d-outs." The worg that Artspace is prepared to do in
Lo�vertoWn perfectly fits these guidelines as well as fulfilling tbe vision of identifying Lo�verta�vn as a resideat
community,encouraging aeighborhood amenities such as grocery stores and barbershops. Artspace looks
forWard to a long aad close relationship vith a vide variety of residents, busiaesses and organizations
throughout St.Paul. �

RE: Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP) Funding Recommendations
Dear President Scheibel and Members of the City Council:
I am pleased to forward for your review and action the funding recommendations
for the lOth Cycle of the NPP. On July 8, 1988, the Planning Commission
reviewed eleven applications and decided to recommend funding for seven
projects. I support the Commission's recommendations. The seven projects
recommended by the Planning Commission, Department of Planning and Economic
Development, and me are:
1) Targeted Home Rehabilitation Census Tr�ct 361 - $175,000
2) Rehabilitation Target Project - $123,500
3) District 5 Comprehensive Housing - $91,500
4) A Sense of Place - $2,000
5) Lowertown Streetscape Extension - $220 000
�
6) Merriam Park Playground - $9 652
�
7) Ordway Memorial Japanese Garden Restoration - $45,753
These recommendations are based on a process that includes review by the
Capital Improvement Budget Committee, Neighborhood District Councils, Planning
Commission, and PED staff. The result of this review process is identified on
the attached Planning Commission resolution. Funding recommendations
(Attachment A) and stipulations (Attachment B) are part of the resolution.
Four projects are not recommended for funding. The East Rice Revitalization
Application from the DistY�ct 6 Community Council_ was not recommended for
funding because of its impending URAP project. lt was felt the District
needed time to digest the �2.5 million URAP projwct before taking on an NPP
project. The second nonfunded pro,ject was the Lnw Income Artist Housing
Proposal from Artspace Incorporated. The applicant's lack of site control for
a portion of its proposal led to its low ranking. The third nonfunded
proposal was the Hamline Playgrdund Building Reuse. The future use of this
building remains to be decided by the City Council. Until that decision is
made and site control determined it was considered to be ineligible for NPP

funds. The fourth nonfunded proposal was the Sai°�t Anthony Park Neighborhood
Buffer project. Use of CIB and CDBG funds on State Highway property was
identified as ineligible.
I continue to be pleased with the overall efforts in the neighborhoods and the
quality of the NPP applications. I would urge swift City Council selection of
the lOth Cycle projects.
If you have any questions about project details nr the NPP program please call
James Zdon (228-3324) of the PED staff.
Sincerely,
o e Latimer
