NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ON A PROPOSAL
FOR A PROGRAM TO CREATE THE
ENERGY PARK DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND
TO ADOPT A PROGRAM FOR THE IMPROVEMENT THEREOF
To Whom It May Concern:
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of
Saint Paul, Minnesota will meet at the City Council Chamber, City
Hall in the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota at 10:00 o'clock a.m.
on May 26, 1981, to consider the proposal that the City Council
create the Energy Park Development District , (Development District
Number 3) and adopt a program for the improvement thereof (the
"Program") pursnant to Minnesota Statutes , Chapter 472A. �
Energy Park is a development of 226 acres in the Midway area
of Saint Paul bounded on the east by Lexington Parkway, on the west
by Prior Avenue (extended) , on the north by tl3e Burlington Northern
main line tracks and on the south by the main line tracks of the
former Great Northern Railroad. Parts of Energy Park already
scheduled for development are as follows : an Energy Technology
Center by Control Data Corporation, 950 units of housing by AH�nT,
Inc. , and an office/research building by Energy Center Building,
Inc. Land for additional development in Energy Park is available
through the Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul .
The concept of Energy Park is one of mixed residential and
job providing industrial/commercial environmertt, in short, a new
neighborhood in Saint Paul. This new neighborhood is to have its
own central heating and cooling system to provide �eat to all
buildings in Energy Park during the winter and cooling to those
buildings in the summer. Construction in Energy Park and recon-
struction of existing buildings in the Burlington Northern' s
• Como Shops Yard will utilize energy efficient technologies in order
to reduce energy consum�tion in Energy Park. The p.roximity of
housing to job providing industries and commercial establishments
will permit reduced dependence on the automobile for persons who
choose to live and work in Energy Park, thereby further conse�ving
scarce energy resources . � �
Ultimately some 4800 persons will be employed in Energy Park
and approximately 3, 000 people will live the re. The overall
development includes new utilities , streets , sidewalks , street
lights , bicycle and walking paths , and a concourse to permit
sheltered pedestrian access in inclement weather to all of the
buildings in the Park.
