This approval by the Planning Commission represents their recommendation to the Mayor and the City Council that the study's land use recommendations should be adopted. I am distributing copies of the document for your review prior to the Council 's public hearing on the Study. This Study has undergone an extensive review process both at the district and cit staff levels. It was approved by both the District 2 and District 4 Community Councils and coordinated with the Publ�c Works De�artment effort to provide pondi g sites and the Independent School Districts need to secure a playground site for Parkway School . The resu1ting study provides a land use framework for future development, and an implementation strate�y for that development. ',I I am impressed with the coordination of efforts by the district councils, the cit denartments, and the Independent School District. The document clearly expresses that cooperative venture for land use planning and I am pleased to transmit this study to you for your adoption.

I ; j STATEMENT OF PUR 4 POSE The purpose of this report is to develop land use recOm- mendations for the vacant land within the former propo�sed Trunk Highway 212-61 connector right-of-way. ; HISTORY I During the 1950s, the Minnesota Department of Transpor a- tion (McDOT), proposed a major highway connector going northe�st from U.S. Highway 61 and Interstate 94 to pr - posed Trunk Highway 212. At that time the proposed co - nector, known as the Etna-Birmingham corridor, was sup' ported by the City of St. Paul as well as other affect�d municipalities. MnDOT proceeded to acquire property, n a hardship or protective buying basis, along the propo ed route. i By the 1970s, the need for the Etna-Birmingham connect�r was being seriously questioned. The City responded by� initiating pub]ic hearings on the proposed route in No�- ember of 1977. � --�---ti �b'�� '�� --�� ,� ��_ �i � R ♦ a � ^Y � -..9 % • � �, __ � � �t ,, ,�_ I P � �„� .qn 4 � � _ �y � a ` �e i:� � �1 �Oa� � �.�«.� � � F � a . � « e � f y - �'' F� � � f � � � � � i , i t � � �;; s � � � ..o �.';� # � � «,,,��n�; ...r" �. \I;`� �` � �r°+ l� � . 4° � `= I � +�i s' a p� a 6 S �� . � � • , e f' � t ��s R �i I l '. .S � �I F F r ~ �P ��✓ ` � _ p gp � �� - ��• � . j�t?

'�� ' �� .. _�_ . . �=.�t' . � ��.�"� Through the hearings, the residents of the affected dis tricts unanimously voiced their opposition to any type f major road construction on the Etna-Birmingham corridor The residents' concerns were also echoed in the transpo - tation and land use sections of their respective distri t plans. Both Districts 2 a�d 4 favored predominantly re i- dential uses fow the vacant land along the now abandone l � i i I I I ' I i , ! : i route. District 2 also voiced a concern for public o en space and playground space for Parkway School , and th�,y requested a study to determine appropriate uses for th�e vacant land within the district. � On January 9, 1978, the Minnesota Department of Transp�or- tation notified Mayor George Latimer that MnDOT decid d to delete the Trunk Haghway 212-61 connector and was go�ng to reconvey or release all lands on the rights-of-way i acquired for that corridor. On March 3, ]978, the Mayor asked MnDOT to hold all state owned lands along the corridor until the Planning Division could develop a study for the appropriate reuse of the, land. The Planning Division staff has subsequently developedjthe Etna-Birmingham Study to include a land use framework �for future development for the vacant land, and schematic '�ro- posals for specific vacant sites consistent with the cpn- cerns issued in the District 2 and District 4 plans. j � I ,I I � � i 2 ' � CORRIDOR D�FINITION ,- I�J �i! �f ' �.-� CASE' ;i;. � �:� � The Etna-Birmingham corridor is com osed of a p pproximat�ly YORK— 35 acres of state, city and privately owned vacant lan� :f:; defined roughly by Etna Street to the west, I-94 to th f:�: .� south, Birmingham to the east and the Chi cago Northwes�ern }`:�� Railroad to the north.
