The property is a two-story frame house consisting of eleven rooms and is zoned R.T. 1 (Two-Family Residential District). The City acquired 69 West Congress Street in 1978 with Community Development Year II funds for use as an emergency housing facility. The City leased the property to H.E.M. and they operated a comprehensive program of emergency shelter and ancillary services for more than two yesrs with H.U.D.�s approval. During the lease period, H.E.M. made extensive improvements to the property and paid for all operation expenses. On several occasions H.E.M. has re- quested- that the City donate the property to them. The Department of Plannfmg and Economic Development (P.E.D. ) believes that the donation would be appro- priate in light of the extensive improvements made by H.E.M. and the fact that they operated a very expensive and important program for more than three years. . � The Department of Planning and Economic Development requested and received approval from Mr. Thocnas T. Feeney, Area Manager, Department of Housing and Urban Services to transfer the subject property located at 69 West Congress Street to Hispanos En Minnesota with a deed restriction that they use the facility for housing purposes for their low and moderate income clients until ,7une 30, 1988, which is ten years from the date the property was initially acquired for housing by H.E.M. In view of the foregoing, I recou�end that the vacation be approved, subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. That the description of the property to be vacated read as follows; "Except West 60 feet all of Lots six (6) and seven (7), Block 57, West St. Paul," known as 69 West Congress Street. ��;: . � � �� . r� •�.r � • -2- ��: That the vacation be subject to all of the terms and conditions of Chapter 130, codified March 1, 1981, of the St. Paul Legislative Code, as amended, including the retention of all public utilities easements. � -�: That the property be transferred to the�.�.�4 —i^�-- Hispanos En Minnesota, now l � tenants of said property, wit� a��dee� 4r�s��ictaon �� uD �,��.T�'^4 that the property be used for � purpo�s�es^�or their low and moderate income clients until June 30, 1988. 3 „� That the petitioner being the City of Saint Paul, shall not be required to pay compensation.

You should note that the city will be conveying the property directly to H.E.M. without HR.A being an intermediary.
