SUMMARY - Rehabilitation Grant Prea lication PP � Two projects to rehabflitate park and recreation structures are included in this preapplication: Mounds Park Recreation Center - The rehabilitation of Mounds Park ' Recreation Center is needed to make the structure energy-efficient and increase the usability 'of this center. The building is a vacated elementary school on a 1 .38 acre site which has been reused ' � for neigh6orhood recl^eation purposes. The center houses both public and private recreation providers ' who coordinate recreation programs in the Mounds Park community. The Mounds Park Recreation Center fulfills an essential neighborhood recreation need in an area wfiich is pt�ysically separated from other recreation facilities with the district by a freeway and the bluffs. , Rehabilitation of the center is a high city and community priority. The improvement of this neighborhood facility will include energy ' conservation measures such as insulation, replacement of doors and windows, conversion of the oil�-fueled furnace as well a� refiabilita- tion of the building's interior. 1 Harriet Island Pavilion Reha6illtation � Harri.et Island Pavili;on is 1oca�ed i:n a 39 acre park. ]ocated i.n the Ftest Si.de community of _ Sai:nt Paul . The facili:ty is located dcross the Mi:sslsst�ppi River ' from downtown St. Paul and is easily accessi6le from 6oth the 4�est Side and downtown residents by walki.ng, bicycling and public transit. ' The building provides the only public recreation facilities in this riverfront park; the upgrading of Harriet Island Pavilion and the irr�nediate grounds is a key item in revitalizing the city's Lrban , waterfront. This proposal is an element in the Negotiated Investment Strategy � , (NIS� process which involved a coordinated effort by Federai , State and local agencies, including the Department of Interior to encourage development of the Mississippi River Corridor for recreational , commercial and housing uses. , Harriet Island Pavilion is in critical need of rehabilitation and improvement to increase its usability, The clay tile roof leaks ' extensively, kitchen and food service facilities�have deteriorated and do not meet health code standards and the building is generally in need of renovation. Insulation of the structure, replacement of doors and windows and installation of a heatingJventilation system , will convert this building for year-round use. It is presently a seasonal facility. 1 ' � STANOARD FORM 424 PAGE 2 (10-7R) , ' SECTtQN 1�1--REMARKS {Pica.,•e reJerexce thc proper item r.tun6er�rom Sectiona 1,11 ur►11,i/a�,plicable) - , Both projects serve low and moderate income residents, significant ' minority populations, and support other revitalization activities in these neighborhoods. � ' 22b. Copies of the Preapplication for Rehabilitation Assistance for Mounds Park Recreation� Center and Harriet Island Pavilion have been forwarded for review �o these agencies. ' ' ' ' , � ' � ' 1 � 1 - 1 � = 1 1 1 STANDARD FORM 424 PAGE 2 (20-73) t t � A. Narrative - Selection Criteria , The Mounds Park Recreation Center rehabilitation is an excellent project for Urban Park and Recreation Recovery (UPARR) program assistance. The center is located on a 1.38 acre site in the Dayton's Bluff/District 4 , community of Saint Paul . The building is an old school which was vacated by the School District in 1976 and exchanged for city properties needed by the School District. The City Parks and Recreation Division operates ' the bui1ding which houses both public and private recreation providers. While the building is structurally sound, the 1938 structure requires major rehabilitation to bring it up to building code standards and permit efficient ' usage of the facility on a year-round basis. The rehabilitation of this neighborhood recreation site is essential to � improve recreation opportunities for this cort�nunity. The Mounds Park Recreation Center is the only neighborhood recreation site in the Mounds Park area; the Mounds Park neighborhood is physically separated from ' the other recreation facilities within the district by a freeway and the bluffs. Tn addition, the rehabilitation of this center is necessary to complement other improvement activities undertaken using Community Development Block Grant funds. � 1. Cost per Capita] Investment by UPARR. , The estimated cost for rehabilitation of the Mounds Park Recreation Center is $494,500. This amounts to a UPARR investment of $1.45 per capita. ($395,600 is the 80 percent match requested from UPARR. ) The City and the State of Minnesota will each provide a 10 percent match. ' 2. Provision of Neighborhood Recreation Services. � The Mounds Park Recreation Center is neighbarhood oriented; it is within a half mjle walking distance of most of the community's residents. Mounds Park Recreation Center is designated as a neighborhood recreation center and provides a variety of recreation activities for residents. There are 1 also bus routes within three blocks of the facility which permit access by residents beyond walking range. ' The Mounds Park Recreation Center fulfills an essential need for active recreation in this neighborhood. The rehabilitation of neighborhood recreation facilities has been identified as a priority of the neighborhood and the city. Limited improvements to the facility were funded using ' Community Development 61cok Grant funds in 1977. The project was highiy rated by the community and the city-wide citizens corr�nittee which reviews projects and recommends funding of capital improvements. An additional , project aimed at increasing the building's energy efficiency and completing rehabilitation of the structure was submitted by the corr�nunity for 1981 capital funding. However, the limited availability of Capital Improvement ' Bonds resulted in only matching funds being recommended from a citywide fund for retrofitting city buildings for energy conservation. The rehabilitation needed at this site is greater than the city's capital resources. ' -1- , - � , - The need for neighborhood recreation opportunities becomes very important in light of energy problems and tightening family finances. More and ' more people are looking closer to home for inexpensive recreation opportuni�ies. This is especially true o�P the Dayton's Bluff community which has significant percentages of children and senior citizens with � limited mobility and where most households fall into the low and moderate income ca�egories. The building functions as a comnunity center and has space for a number of ' organizations which provide recreation-related programs to the neighborhood. COMPAS (Corranunity Programs in the Arts and Sciences), the Boy Scouts, folk dancing groups, specialized recreation clubs (such as boxing) as well as the , cornnunity council and the community newspaper are all housed in the Mounds Park Recreation Center. These groups offer the Mounds Park community a diversity of recreation opportunities which supplement the usual recreation programming the city provides. � 3. Condi�ion of �he Existing Site. ' The closure of the Mounds Park Recreation Center has been considered because of the extremely h�gh costs associated wi�h the operation and maintenance of the facility. The building was orig�nally an elementary school which was I closed due �o decreasing enrollment. The co�ununity supported the reuse of the building for recreation purposes and the Division of Parks and Recreation sponsors recrea�Cion programs in the facility. While the building houses an • essential recreation program, the size and the condition of the structure ' make it inefficient and costly to heat and main�ajn. Utility costs for 1979 exceeded $15,000 and are expec�ed to increase by another 25 percent when 1980 costs are availabie. ' The Mounds Park Recreation Center is currently difficult to heat and cool ; the building is extremely cold in the winter and hot during the summer months. The average winter temperature of this brick structure is under 60 degrees. ' The building requires extensive weatherization including insulation, replace- ment of doors and window, alteration of the heating plant from oil to gas fuel . Interior repairs and replacements will jnclude lowered and insulated � ceilings, refinishing and replacement of floors, lighting and mechanical system improvements. � Proposed improvements are aimed primarily at reducing energy costs and maintenance costs to permit continued and effective use of this converted school building. The need to make these improvements is critical to the quality of recreation programs and to ensure that high operating expenses ' do not force the closure of the facility. 4. Improvement in Quality and Quantity of Recreation Services. ' The rehabilitation of the Mounds Park Recreation Center will result in significant improvements in the provision of recreation services to the residents of the service are. The proposal includes modification of the , building to permit handicapped access to the facility. (The handicapped are estimated to comprise 10 percent of the city's population.) ' -2- ' � ' ' _ The recreation center s appearance is presently very poor (as shown in the pictures included �n this application) and this discourages use by ' neighborhood residen�s. The rehabilitation of the site will encourage increased use by res�dents through the jmprovement of the building's appearance and usabil�ty. , Rehabi1itation of the building will also improve the image of the neighbor- hood where it is located. The broken and; boarded windows, damaged lights and peeljng wa11s make the bui1ding a b1i�hting influence in the neighborhood ' rather than an asset. Both the neighborhood and the City consider the renovation of thjs recreation facility essential to the revitalization of the surrounding residential area. , The quality of recreat�on programs can also be increased by rehabilitating the building. Currently the f1uctuating temperatures in the building make , it difficu1t to attraet and keep organizations in the center. The winter conditions in the building are particularly bad and restrict the type of programming which can be conduct�ed since the temperature is frequently below 60 degrees. A renovated, remodelled building will permit recreation ' providers to offer a variety of programs and draw participants throughout the year. The development of Mounds Park Recreation Center as a site for quality , neighborhood recreatjon opportunities is an essential element in the city's effort to create a strong system of neighborhood recreation centers within walking distance of all city res�dents. Improving the building's energy � efficiency will reduce the drain on the resources of the parks system and have a beneficial impact on the entire system. Energy conservation efforts are a primary focus of the city and the parks and recreation system. ' 5. Imarovement of Recreation Services to TarQet Poqulations_. The rehabilitation of Mounds Park Recreation Center wiil improve delivery ' of recreation services to the neighborhood and to target populations living within the service radius. The following populations live in the Mounds Park neighborhood and will be served by this rehabilitation project: , a. Minority Residents. � Thereis a significant minority population in the service area. Based on demographic information developed by the City Planning Division in 1978, Census Tract 344 has a minority population of 6.8 percent. This was over a 50 percent increase in the service area's minority population from the , number in the 1970 Census. Tn is anticipated that the 1980 Census will show another substantial increase in the minority population of this area. (It should also be noted that the recreation needs of areas with larger ' concentratjons of minority residents have been substantially met through earlier programs such as Model Cities and Corrrnunity Development Block Grants.) � -4- , ' - - - - � , - b. Low and Moderate Tncome Residents. , The service area of Mounds Park Recreation Center is mainly composed of low and moderate income households. During the 1970 Census, 51.6 percent of the households in the Mounds Park service area were classified as low income. ' In 1977, the median famjly income for the City of Saint Paul was 84.9 percent of the SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area) , or $16,672. The residents of the service area had a median income of $14,860 (79.9 percent) ' or almost $2,000 less than the St. Pau1 median income. The median income of the Mounds Park neighborhood is more than $4,500 less than the median for the Twjn C�ties metropo1itan area. The Mounds Park neighborhood has not kept pace with infla�9on. , c. Distressed Nei hborhoods. � The Dayton's Bluff/Mounds Park comnunity is located within the near East Side of St. Paul and houses and employs a predominately blue collar population. Like many inner city neighborhoods, the corranunity faces problems of housing ' deterioration, commercial s�r�p development, circulation and crime. Compared to the rest of the city, the housing in this area is older, less expensive and there is a slightly higher percentage of non-owner occupied , residences. Two sections of the neighborhood within three blocks of the Mounds Park Recreation Center have been identified by the Dayton's Bluff/ District 4 Plan as residential areas in trans�tion which require concentrated � improvements to streets, sidewalks and housing. Between 10 and 20 percent of the residential structures are classified as substandard and almost 30 percent require major or minor rehabilitation. � The limited availability of capital improvement funds has prevented the city from financing the necessary improvements in this areas. It is anticipated that the rehabilitation of Mounds Park Recreation Center will provide a focal 1 point for the neighborhood and stimulate revitalization and a sense of pride in the Mounds Park area. , d. Special Populations (Handicapped, elderly, youth). Rehabilitation of the building to remove architectural barriers to the handicapped will significantly increase the usability b,� the handicapped ' and the elderly. Overall improvement of the facilities should also benefit the young people in the corr�nunity. , Approxi+nately ten percent of the city's population is estimated to be handi- capped and this population will have access to the rehabilitated center; the building is presen�ly inaccessible to the physically handicapped. ' The elderly camprise 10.8 percent of the service area`s population. A renovated facility will be both more accessible and more attractive to this special population. Cold buildings are generally considered a major � obstacle in encouraging senior citizens to participate in programs at recreation centers. , -5- ' t � Young people make up the largest percen�age of community residents-- 37.3 percent. The renovated building wil.l provide both a broader range of , recreation opportunities and be�ter qualit,y facilities. e. Overall Communi�y. � The Mounds Park Recreation Center rehabiljtation will result in a more effic�en�, usable building which will meet the basic recreation needs of the entire cornrnuni�y. A design corraitittee, composed of neighborhood residents, ' service providers and oth�r appropriate representatives will be formed to assist in �he ftna1 p1ans to remodel the faci1ity. This ensures that the facility users are involved in the determinatjon of the jmprovements to the � buil di ng. 6. Proposal 's Consistency with Other Local Government Objectives. rThe proposal to rehabilitate Mounds Park Recreation Center is consistent with the city's objectives and will implement a number of city and community plans for the revitalization of the Mounds Park community. � a. Mounds Park Recreation Center is identified as a critically deficient facility in the Recovery Ac�ion Program. (Page 58) ' b. The improvement of the center meets both of the city's primary goals for the park and r.ecreation system. (Page 118 of the RAP) , 1) Tmprove the recreation opportunities for all residents; and 2) Create an efficient, cost-effective parks and recreation system. � c. The project achieves the objectives for this community as outlined on page 118 of the RAP. These objectives include: 1) Provide an equal level of recreation opportunity for all areas of ' the City and all segments of the population. 2) Acquire and develop the necessary recreation areas and facilities to meet the needs of the citizens of Saint Paul by the year 1995. ' 3) Broaden the range of recreational opportunities available to the citizens of Saint Paul . 4) Provide the most efficient and effective allocation of financial , ' land and personnel resources of the city. 5) Provide facilities in a manner that maximizes use and allows for flexibility of use. , d. This project has been identified as a priority for 1980 in the Recovery Action Program. (Page 150) It addresses the issue of rehabilitating existing recreation facilities. (Issue R-1) ' e. The need to rehabilite�Mounds Park Recreatjon Center has been identified by the commun�ty through the citizen participation process since 1976 and partial funding was provided through the Unified Capital Improvement Budgeting , Process in 1977 (using CDBG funds). ' -6- 1 , 1 The Mounds Park Recreat�ion Center rehabilitation has strong support from the community. (See Letter of Support, pagel7 of �his grant preapplication. ) ' f. The energy conservat�on measures incorporated jn this project will assist the City in achieving its energy-related objectives for city buildings. ' (Page 148 of the RAP, Program Priorities) 7. Creation vf Neigiiborhood Employment Opportunities/Tnvolvement of Loca'�CitTZen r a�nizations in RehabilTtat�on, 0 eratlon or Maintenance ' o mprove - ac t�es. The Dayton's Bluff Community Council , which is housed in the center, has ' provided a commitment to paint corr�nunity and club rooms after the major rehabilitation is completed. (See letter, page 17), Also, the organizations housed in the Mounds Park Recreation Center a1ready provide volunteer ' operation and maintenance in the center �n exchange for space. 8. Sta�e Participation in Proposa1 . , The State of �linnesota has made a commitment to provide a state match of ten percent from the Legislative Corrannission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR) funds. Documentation of this match is provided in the proposal . ' The State of Minnesota has a signed agreement with the HCRS on UPARR participation. The State is responsive to the recreation needs of urban areas and provides grant-in-aid programs to address these needs. Technical ' assistance in recreation planning and proposal design is available to the city when necessary. , 9. Private Sector Participation in the Proposal . . The private sector, including citizen organizations and service providers located in the center, have been actively involved in planning the ' improvements to this facility; they will continue to be involved through the design process for Mounds Park Recreation Center improvements. ' 10. City's Commitment to Implementing Overall Recovery Action Program. The City of Saint Paul has completed a Recovery Action Program and submitted it for A-95 Review to the Minnesota State Planning Agency and the Metropolitan ' Council of the Twin Cities. The final adopted Recovery Action Program should be on file with the HCRS Lake Central Regional Office by November 15, 1980. , The proposal to rehab91itate Mounds Park Recreation Center is one of the 1980 prioritjes for UPARR funding identified in the Recovery Action Program.

Rehabilitation of this facility has long been a major priority ' of our district. For several consecutive years, our Council has submitted proposals for the rehabilitation of various aspects of this facility for funding under the city ' s capital , improvement program. Currently a minor rehabilitation project is under way to the building' s windows. This project was funded by the city through the capital improvement prcgram ' after receiving the highest recommendation of our district . I wish to make it clear that continued rehabilitation of the Mounds Park Recreation Center is a ma.jor priority of Dayton' s Bluff/District 4. ' Presently , due to energy inefficien�:y, the facility is not utilized to its fullest potential. Often times the building ' is cold to the point where normal business and recreational activities cannot be conducted. Without energy efficient improvements the building will never obtain the level of usability by the community that it deserves. In addition, ' due to the structure of the building, it is not accessible to the handicapped. Only the gymnasium is presently accessible for handicapped recreation. Handicapped access- ' ibility alterations will greatly enhance the usability of this facility . Besides housing the office of the Dayton' s Bluff/District 4� ' Community Council, the Mounds Park Recreation Center houses the offices of the Dayton' s Bluff News , Inc . , our community newspaper, and several athletic and civic organizations. � Without this facility , many of these organizatio�zs would be without an adequate facility in which to conduct their business . ' ' Ma or Geor e Latimer y g October 24�, 19$0 _ ' Page Two ' Without a doubt, rehabilitation of the Mounds Park Recreation Center would significantly improve the recreationa.l opportunities available to all ages of people who reside within our community . � The Dayton' s Bluff/District 4 Community Council endorses the city 's application and offers our support and assistance to bring this project to reality for our people, ' Sincere ours , .�� ' J N P.

I wish to pledge our efforts to bring about these needed improvements. It is our intention to paint these rooms within the next year which hopefully indicates our commitment to this facility .

Narrative - Selection Criteria. � The Harriet Island Pavilion is an important recreation facility located across the Mississippi River from downtown St. Paul in Harriet island � Park. It is easily accessible by public transit and within walking distance of 6oth downtown and the West Side corr�nunity, the primary areas the park serves. The cut stone building was constructed in 1940 as a WPA (Work Projects Administration) project; the structure is basically ' sound 6ut requires major rehabilitation to improve its usability for recreation purposes. Substantial work is needed to bring the facility up to healtfi and safety codes and improvements are needed to convert the � building from seasonal to year-round use. The upgrading of the Harriet Island Pavilion and the imrr�diate grounds is a key element in the Mississippi River Corridor project which was ' included by the City in the Negotiated Investment Strategy (NIS) process during the 1979 negotiations between federal , state and local agencies. The reha6ilitation of this facility is necessary to stimulate further , developments in the Mississippi River, including housing, commercial and recreational uses. ' The rehabilitation of existing recreation facilities along the Mississippi River also meets the Heritage. Conservation and Recreation Service's objectives for developing and revitalizing urban waterfronts . for recreation purposes. � 1 . Cost per Capita Investment by UPARR. The estimated cost for rehabilitation of the Harriet Island Pavilion , is $497,950. This would require a UPARR investment of $1 .46 per capita. ($398,360 is the 80 percent match requested from UPARR. ) The City and the State of Minnesota will each provide a 10 percent , match. 2. Provision of Neighborhood Recreation Services. ' The Harriet Island Pavilion is located in a 39 acre park which includes both picnic facilities and fields where softball and soccer are played. The park and pavilion serve both a neighborhood and a citywide function. � Harriet Island is within walking distance of both downtown and the lower West Side area. The community considers Harriet Island as a "major recreation and special events location of the West Side neighbor- ' hood." (Issues Paper, west Side Citizens Organization, August 21 , 1980. ) The West Side/District 3 Plan identifies the need to upgrade park and open space areas to provide the cor�nunity with passive open space ' activities. Harriet Island is also identified as a deficient neighbor- hood recreation facility in the City's Recovery Action Program. � -18- � , - ' ' L The park is also located several blocks from two public bus routes and can 6e reached 6y 6icycle. The park and pavilion facilities are used extensively by the West Side residents and by downtown residents and employees; �oggers, 6ikers and walkers can often 6e seen along t the river during t�e surrrner months. Since the building is th.e only public facility along the riverfront, it also provides the only pu6lic restrooms to park users. ' Harriet rsland pavilion and park provides an inexpensive site for neigh6orhood festivals such as the Mexican Tndependence Day festival 1 and the Hmong (_Southeast Asian� gatherings h.eld this summer. It also provides restroom facilities for groups using the fields and th.e picni.c areas adjacent to the 6uilding. � While the building is currently used prinicpally during the surraner months for special events and seasonal picnic and sports activities, there i.s great potential for expanding th� 6uilding's use. The , faci'lities are opened in June and closed i:n Octo6er e.ach year 6ecause. the 6uild�ng is not h�ated. Modiflcati_ons to the 6utld1ng wi;ll pe.rmit use of the 6uilding during other seasons for a variety of unique recreation opportunities. Specifically, this proposal includes funds ' for winterizing the building to permit wi.nter use of the facility as a ski chalet, for winter carnival events and as d warming h.�use for sk�ting activities. • , 3. Canditl�Qrr�of th:e Existi�g� Site. 1 R No ma�or renvvatinn of the Harri,et �sldnd Pavili�on fi�s �een done since ' tfie 6uilding was constructed in 19.4Q. Tfte G.uilding is i;n need ofi su6stantial reha611itatlon and repair to increase its usa6i:li.ty for . large group functions and neigh6orhood uses. ` The clay tile roof is severely deteriorated and leak�ge i.s a critical problem in the building. Events held in the pavilion on rainy day� are often marred by numerous leaks; gar6age cans pTaced to catch the , water are a comnon siglit and cleanup of water 1n th� pavi.libn is required whether a group has used the 6uilding or not. The continual leakage pro6lem is damaging tf�e interi.or of the �ui.lding. Because of , the unique nature of the 6uilding, the reroofing of tf�e facility is both an essential and costly project. , The building is often used for large groups and events wh.ich require kitchen and food service facilities which are available for minimal rental fees. A recent health inspection identified serious problems with these facilities which could result in closure of the building 1 for events which involve food preparation and service. The kitchen and food service equipment is in poor condition and many of the surfaces are made of materials which cannot 6e properly cleaned, such as unfinished ' wood, masonite; rusted and corroded metal , etc. -19- 1 , ' , � Over the years the doors and windows have deteriorated. Windows throughout the 6uilding are cracked and broken and many are boarded up. A11 the doors need to be replaced since most fit poorly and are , not rodent-proof. Screen doors are in poor condition and many of the screens have 6een torn. Many of the summer activities scheduled in the pavilion include live ' music. The acoustTCS are extremely 6ad and the stane building can only be descri6ed as an °echo cham6er". ' The steps around the building are forty years old and are severely cracked and deteriorated, creating a safety hazard and restricting access to the 6uilding by tFie physicalTy handicapped. ' In general , the building is in serious need of extensive rehablli.tation to maintain its usability and other improvements are required to increase the use of this grossly underutilized structure. ' 4. Improvement of Quality and Quantity of Recreation Services. ' Proposed reha6ili�ation of the pavilion will increase the quality and the quantifty of recreation services available at the: site, Renovation . and repair of thE facilities, includi.ng repalr of the roof, repla.cement of tFie kitchen and food service faci.liti:es, and replacement of doors , and w�indows will improve the quality of the 6uilding and the activities which occur tFiere. Rehabilitation wi11 encourage use of the 5ui,lding 6y improving 6oth the usa6ility and the appearance of the structure and increase tfie quality of recreation opportunities. , The uantit of recreation services and the number of eople who can 6e served 6,� t[iE site will 6e su6stanti.ally i:ncreased 6y the recommended � i.mprovements. The use of Narriet Island payili:on i;s presen.tly limited and seasonal i n nature. Si nce the pavi l i on i,s the onlyr 6ui l di.ng i n ttie vast riverfront park area, the ci.ty can signi;fi;cantly� increase the ' building's potential use through modifications. Speci:fically, the installation of insulation, replacement of doors and windows and installation of a heating/ventilation system wi11 permi.t year-round rather than seasonal use of the 6uilding. Th.ese lmprovements w111 at , least double the amount of time when the building can 6e used for activities. Potential expanded uses of the site might include using the building as a ski chalet and ski rental site for cross country skiing , during the winter months. The large riverfront area will accommodate the large num6ers of cross country skiers who otherwise traveT to facilities outside the city which are less crowded than Como and � Highland Park ski areas. The pavilion can also 6e programmed as a warming house for skating activities and for winter carnival events. The pavilion is one of the city's larger park facilities which could accommodate large groups on a year-round basis. As th.e river park ' system is developed, the pavilion will serve a major recreation function and provide a vital link in the park elements in the Mississippi River ' -20- ' ' ' Corridor. This park site will be connected to the trail system to form an integral part of the city's park system. , 5. Improvement of Recreation Services to Target Populations. The rehabilitation of Harriet Island Pavilion will improve the delivery t of recreation services for both city residents and residents of the immediate service area. The following populations live within the service area and will be served by the Harriet Island facilities: ' a. Minority Residents. I There is a significant minority population in the service area. The largest concentration of Mexican-Americans in St. Paul is located in the primary service area -- 57.4 percent. Also, the city's Hmong �Southeast Asian} population uses the site, although , the num6er 6eing served is not known. b. Low and Moderate Income Residents. , The main service area of Harriet Island is primartly composed of low i;ncome fiouseholds. In 1977, the median family income for the City of Saint Paul was 84,9 percent of the SMSA (Standard , Metropalitan Statistical Area� , or $16,672. The residents of the service area had a median family income of $12,202 (_62.9 percent of the SMSA�. This is more than $4000 less than the St. Paul , median income and more than $7000 less than the metropolitan area as a whole. ' c. Distressed Neighborhoods. The West Side Community has been targetted for the use of Community Development Block Grant funds for public improver�ents, housing ' loans and grants and other revitalization programs to meet the special needs of the area. The high concentrati.on of low income and minority residents, coupled with poor housing conditions in , some sections of the West Side have resulted in substantial amounts of money being channelled into the neighborhood. Much of the property adjacent to the park was acquired and cleared during the 60's because of its poor condition. � d. Special Populations. , The improved facilities at Harriet Island will increase the usability of the site by the handicapped, the eiderly and the youth both within the service area and in the city. Modifications to improve handicapped access will permit expanded use by this population -- estimated to , comprise l0 percent of the city's population. The building is presently inaccessible to the physically handicapped. Youngsters, who comprise 26.3 percent of the service area population, will also benefit from ' increased recreation opportunities which will be availa6le at the site. ' -21- ' , ' - e. OveralT Community. ' The Harriet Island Pavilion rehabilitation will result in a more efficient and usable building which can be programmed for � additional recreation opportunities for the entire comnunity, including West Side and downtown residents. 6. The Proposal 's Consistency with Other Local Government Ob�ectives. ' a. The Harriet Island Pavilion is identified both as a deficient neighborhood facility and as a deficient regional ' facility in the Recovery Action Program {pages 58 and 66 ) . b. The improvement of the pavilion and the immediate grounds meets the primary goals of the city parks and recreation system , to: l � Improve the recreation opportunities for all residents; , 2) Create an efficient cost-effective parks and recreation system. c . The project achieves the objectives of the parks and recreation , system as outlined on page 118 of the RAP: these objectives include: 1) Provide an equal level of recreation opportunity for all , areas o�' the City and all segments of the population. 2) Acquire and develop the necessary recreation areas and , facilities to meet the needs of the citizens of Saint Paul by the year 1995. 3) Broaden the range of recreationa) opportunities available ' to the citizens of Saint Paul . 4) Provide the most efficient and effective allocation of the financial , land and personnel resources of the city. � ' 5 Provide facilities in a manner that maximizes use and allows ) for flexibility of use. 1 d. This project is identified as a priority in the Recovery Action Program for 1980 (Page 150) . It addresses t�ie issue of rehabilita- , ting deficient facilities and the development of the Mississippi River as a unique recreational resource. ( Issues P-12, P-16, R-1 and R-3) 1 e. The need for improvement of the park and open space facilities has been identified in the �(est Side/District 3 Plan (page 44� developed by the comnunity. The rehabilitation of the pavilion is ' supported by the corr�nunity. (See Letters of Support, page 31 ) . ' -22- , , ' . f. Rehabilitation of the Harriet Island Pavilion will accomplish the � improvements outlined in the December 12, 1979 Agreement between Federal , State and Local agencies. Specifically that; ' "B. The City will prepare an application to the U.S. Department of Interior Urban Parks Program for $400,000 in the third funding cycle of 1980 for the restoration and improvement of the park facilities at Harriet Island." and , "F. The FRC (Federal Regional Council V) will recommend that the Department of the Interior Urban Parks Program provide , $400,000 in the third funding cycle in 1980 for the restoration and improverr�nt of the park facilities as Harriet Island. " g. Improvement of the Harriet Island facilities will implement , portions of the Mississippi River Corridor Plan for the City of Saint Paul . , 7. Creation of Neighborhood Em lo ent 0 ortunities/Involvement of Local Citizen r a m zations in e ab� itation, erati.on or alntenance o mprove aci ittes. , The Harriet Island Task Force of the West Side Citizens Organization h�s been involved in the planning of park improvements. , 8. State Participation in Proposal . The State of Minnesota has made a commitment to provide a state match of , ten percent from the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR) funds. ocumentation of this match is included on page 29 of this proposal . The State of Minnesota has a signed agreement with the HCRS on UPARR � , participation. The State is responsive to urban recreation needs and provides grant-in-aid funds to address these needs. Technical assistance in recreation planning and proposal design is available to the city when , necessary. 9. Private Sector Parti.ci�pation in the Proposal . ' The private sector, including the citizen organization, has been involved in planning improvement to Harriet Island; they wi11 continue to 6e involved through the design process for reha6ilitation of the pavilion. , 10. Citv's Commitment to Implementing_Oyerall Recovery Action Program, The City of Saint Paul has completed a Recovery Action Program and submitted , it for A-95 Review to the Minnesota State Planning Agency and the Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities. The final adopted Recovery Action Frogram should be on file with the HCRS Lake Central Regional Office by Novem6er 15, 1980. , The proposal to rehabilitate Harriet Island Pavilion is one of the 1980 priorities for UPARR funding identified in the Recovery Action Program.

It has been reviewed pursuant to responsibilities given the State His- ° toric Preservation Officer by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the Procedures of the National Advisory Council on Historic , Preservation (36CFR800) . It is our opinion that Harriet Island Pavilion, at this time, is not eligi- , ble for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, there are no sites of historic, architectural, cultural, or archaeological significance listed on the National Register, or eligible for inclusion on the National Register, which will be affected by your proposal. However, ' this structure, along with numerous examples of W,P.A, architecture, ma.y take on historical, cultural, and architectural significance in the future. With this in mind, we suggest that the improvements be sympathetic to the ' nature of the structure, taking care not to alter its historic integrity: If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact ' Ms. Sue Hedin, Environmental Assessment Officer, James J.
