Paul , MN 55102 Dear Riki , This is in regard to the item on the Decemb.er 8 City Council agenda regarding the elimination of the wood poles on Grand Avenue in front of Ramsey Junior High School. As you know, the Grand Avenue West Neighborhood Partnership Program Project included new de orative street lighting and tree planting on Grand Avenue bet een Snelling and just west of Fairview . Those improvements ere planned and promoted by the Grand West Planning Committee, ade up of representatives of the District 14 Communitp Counc ' 1 , the Grand Avenue Business Association and Macalester College. These improvements also includ d the burial of the power lines now housed on NSP wood poles b tween Cambridge and Snelling , a stretch where there is no alley to shift the power lines to. Macalester College has agreed t pay for the bulk of this work. Unfortunately , however, the St . Paul Public Schools has found themselves in no position to p y for the costs associated with the routing of their servi e cables to a new pad mounted � transformer . This means that t e two wood poles on the west side of Cambridge in front of Ramsey Junior High could not be removed and in fact, a third would have to be added. Last May the Planning Committe agreed that it would be a shame to leave any of the wood NSP p les in the NPP improvement area, It vas decided to ask the C ' ty Council to amend its initial assessment resolution so that he re—routing and nev transformer costs can be borne by the entire assessment district. The school district is willing to sign t e necessary underground service agreements and provide space for the new transformer. The costs associated vith g tting rid of the vood poles are estimated to run no more than 18,000. The costs for the entire improvement project have co e in approaimately $17,000 under estimate. Additionally, the pr ject cost with the $18,000 for the elimination of the rood poles is less than vhat most propert� ovners have budgeted for as the City Council last May ( erroneously) approved asse sments based on a project of a slightly larger scope than was undertaken. � 3 0 SOUTH GRIGGS STREET • SAINT PA L, MINNESOTA 55105 • PHONE 612 698-7973 , , G��7�c� Kiki Sonnen Page Two December 7 , 1987 I hope this clarifies the reaso s for amending the May 13, 1986 resolution so that these poles c n be eliminated .
