INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM ���
�
To: Ron Ma.ddax, Council President
and Me�bers of the City Counci:i
From: J. William Donovan
Valuation and Assessment Engineer
Date; September 3, 1981
Sub3ect: Petition by James H. Speckmann and John R. Quigley
for the vacation of parts of Stewart Avenue and
Glen Terrace S�reet.
Public Hearing - September 15, �981
The petitioners, Messrs. Spec�nann and Q,uigley, request this vacation to
facilitate the pending development of a mid-rise condomi.nium on the easterly
portion of the site (pl�se I) and a simi7.ar apa,rtment building on the
westerly portion of the site in the flzture (Phase II) . The petitioners own
all the property serviced (abutting Glen Terrace and Sotz�h of Stewart �venue)
and affected by this va.cation request. The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and
Pa.cific Railroa.d Camcpa�y vwns a portion of the remaining land abutting
Stewart Avema.e on the north. The request is fbr the vacation of that portion of
Stewart Avenue ]�ying between that portion of Stewart Avenue �a.cated by Webb
PubZishing on the southwest and that portion of Stewart Avenue va.cated by the
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and gacific Railro�.d on the northeast and that
portion of Glen Terrace Street that extends east from the Chica�o, Milwaukee,
St. Paul and Pacific Raa.lroad right-of way to its dead end at Shepard Road.
The area proposed for va.cation on Stewa.rt Avenue is a parti.ally graded and
pa.rtially nnimproved street 66 feet wide and approximately 57.8 feet lorig,
consisting of 38,1�+8 square feet. Glen Terrace is an improved street 40 feet
wide and approximately 355 feet long, consisting of 14,200 square feet. The
area. awned by the petitioners is zoned RM-3 and the area vwned by the Railroad
is z one d R-4.
The Depa.rtment of Public Works has reviewed the proposed va.ca.tion of portions
of Stewart Avenue and Glen Terrace Street and m�.ke the following reports:
1. There are several occupied residences located on Stewart Avenue
and G1en Terrace Street. The use of these residences must be
termixiated and the residences themse2ves must be removed prior
to the va,cation of the street rights-of way.
2. The ravine in the G1en Terrace nei�hborhood is the main outlet
for storm water flow from an area esti.mated to be appraximately
230 acres. As such, any fi11 placed in the ravine unchecked
would have a serious impact on the drainage pa.ttern, Tt is
required, therefore, that specific easements be retai.ned through
the ravine area. to protect both the present an,d flxture drainage
flow's fram the sited area of the City. All site plans for
development wi11 be reviewed closely for storm wa.ter drainage in
the area.

3. A va,cation of Ste�.ri, Avenue an�. Gien Terrace wil�. create
a dead-end situation f'or that pa.rt oi Glen Terrace lyir� r�g ��]��
northtiaester?yo uf Stewa.rt Avenue. A pern�nent street ease-
men� for turn--around purposes must therefore be reta�.ned
across propnsEd Stew•a� yvenue to be �ra.cated and described
as follows:
Al� t�iat part of Stewart ::venue lying north-

oi and p�.rallel to the southeasteriy extension
of the southwesterl;- line of Lot �+1, Block 5,
Kipp's �len Terrace Addition to St. Paul, Minn.
The Water Utility h�.s a 12-inch water m3.in in Glen Terrace and Stewart Avenue that
was installed in 1971 �.nd at the reauest os Webb Publishing Compar�y. � thirt5r f'oot
wide easement must be retained in �hese streets to provide far flzture water m�.in
maintenance. Restrictions within the easements area will be stated later in this
repoxt.
Northern States Pcn+rer Comp�.r�y reports si}, poles with overhead conductors attached
in the proposed vacatian area. There are no existir� gas distribution f`acilities
in this area.

Telephone-Pot�rer Compar�y poles along Ste�art and Glen Terrace which is necessary
to provide service to thei.r customers. This pole line is iocated on the east side
of G1en Terrace sauth of Stewart and east along the south side of Stewa� and
sou�:z again on the eas� side ol Glen Terrace. They wish to have their interests
protected.
There were no objections from any other public or priva.te agencies involved.
The petitioners, ai'ter reviewirig th.e various agencies com�ents and conditions, and
