Hozza and members of the City Council City Hall, 7th Floor � Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 � Re: Dayton' s Bluff District 4 Plan Dear Council President Hozza and members of the City Council : On August 24 , 1979 , after holding a public hearing, the Planning Commission certified the District 4 Plan. District plans are proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, and must be adopted by the City Council before they come into legal effect. "Certification" by the Planning Commission represents their recommendation to the Mayor and the City Council that the plan should be adopted. I agree with the Planning Commission' s recommendation and request that the City Council review the plan and set a date for its public hearing. The plan was drafted by Dayton' s Bluff residents in 1977-78 and sub- mitted to the Planning Commission for its approval. A revised plan was again approved by District 4 in July. The Planning Commission certified the plan as adopted by the District Council with one comment regarding libraries. That comment is contained in their resolution which is attached to the plan. Dayton' s Bluff residents take an activist role in writing their plan. Many of the successful actions occurring in District 4 have their foundation in district plan proposals and recommendations. The plan deserves the City' s attention and implementation and I recommend its adoption by the Council.

Hozza and members of the City Council City Hall , Seventh Floor St. Paul , Minnesota 55102 Re: Dayton's Bluff District 4 Plan Dear Council President Hozza and members of the City Council : On August 24, 1979, after holding a public hearing, the Planning Commission certified the District 4 Plan. District plans are proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, and must be adopted by the City Council before they come into legal effect. "Certification" by the Planning Commission represents their recommendation to the Mayor and the City Council that the plan should be adopted. I agree with the Planning Commission's recommendation and request that the City Council review the plan and set a date for its public hearing. The plan was drafted by Dayton's Bluff residents in 1977-78 and submitted to the Planning Commission for its approval . A revised plan was again approved by District 4 in July. The Planning Corr�nission certified the plan as adopted by the District Council with one comment regarding libraries. That comment is contained in their resolution which is attached to the plan. Dayton's Bluff residents take an activist role in writing their plan. Many of the successful actions occurring in District 4 have their foundation in district plan proposals and recommendations. The plan deserves the City's attention and implementation and I recommend its adoption by the Council .

The BACKGROUND REPORT contains an Actlon Plan for easy reference to all the proposals, who is responsible for implementing them, and a section on � priorities. This plan begins with a short history of Dayton's Bluff and a sketch of the carmunity as it 1s today. Tt goes on � � to discuss the physical , social and economic plans that have been developed through citizen participation in the District 4 planning process. Thfs process is described - in detall in the BACKGROUND REPORT. � .2 HISTORY Because o t e str ct s prox m ty to owntown, deve op- � ment began early in St. Paul 's history. The bluff area was built-up first, simultaneous to the introduction of the cable car. As streetcar lines expanded, Dayton's � Bluff grew. By 1900, the bluff was seen as a respectable inner-ring suburb, highlighted by its panoramic views and . Indian Mounds Park. � In the 1920s, families establishing their homes were mostly lower-to-middle class, blue and white collar workers. While there was a mix of nationalities, there � was a predominance of German and Irish extraction. As the district grew, business and indus�ries came into 1 the area, providing jobs and conveniences for the resi- dents. Most commercial development occurred along East Seventh Street. Hamn's Brewery, 3M, Flintkote, Whirlpool � and other industries located in the western areas of Dayton's Bluff. � ' � � � i � 1 . � . � a ton s u s a commun t w c ouses an emp oys a � .. HE N � Y y Y predomi�antly blue collar population. Like most inner city neighborhoods, District 4 faces problems of housing � deterioration, carmercial development, circulation, and crime. Fortunately, private and public bodles are beginning to invest time and money into improvements. Dayton's Bluff is slowly declining in population. The � . population is predominantly white, with an education level slightly below that of the city's (about 38� of � adults hold a high school diploma). The bulk of people are of family age (under 17 and 25 to 4a). More than 10% of residents are senior citizens. The family unit .is � strong in Dayton's Bluff. The average household has two children under 17 years old. Economic data shows that the eastern tracts of District 4 � have a higher average family income than the city, the central area is about the same as St. Paul , and other � areas are up to 15� below the city average. Relatively � few workers are employed in,professional and technical • occupations, while greater numbers work as craftsmen, foremen and operatives. � The median family income in Dayton's Bluff has increased over the past few years, although its rate of increase reflects that of inflation. In 1970, it was approxi- � mately $109000, slightly below tFie city's average. � � . � � �. � �`� � � ^ �� , . � � CENSUS TRACT AND PLANNING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES FOR SAINT PAUL FzGuRE 1-1 � 303 304 306 307.01 307A2 301 10 . 3°5 . 302 ' 308 ��'�'''�'''��'•�• ..... �:�i::: :':�,,.�t.,,:::�<.i<::::<:::: 2 L. ��i� C .{; '{Y.:ii :''t;::;:•.

The five treat- ment areas and the corresponding ob�ectives and strategies � are detailed in the Background Report. � . . � 1 .Housing Action Plan The Dayton's Bluff Conmunity Council , residents and other private interests, and the city should work to�ether to � carry out the housing actlon p1an, according to the priorities set on Figure 3-1 . 2.Rehabilitation � Acquisition and redevelopment should be used only as a last resort when no rehabilitation effort wi11 effec- tively improve an areas' housing condition. � . 3.Intensified Rehabilitation Areas (ITAs) should be initiated in con3unction with scheduled or badly needed � public improvements. 4.Future ITAs should be located, when possible, adjacent to one initiated or where public lmprovements have � already taken place (see Figure 3-1 for priorities). S.The Dayton's Bluff Corrimunity Counc9l should inform � homeowners of available rehabjlitat�on grants and loans and encourage rehabilitation. 6.Absentee Landlords j The Dayton's Bluff Community Council should encourage . absentee landlord participation in neighborhood planning � and other affairs. � 1.The city and DBCC should promote awareness of tenants' _ rights as a means of requfring landlords to maintain � thelr propertfes at levels specified in city and state codes. 8.The Building and Housing Code Enforcement Division of � the Conununity Services Department should monitor proper- ties to ensure compliance with city and state codes. The DBCC should initiate requests for such inspections and � compliance. 9.The city should establish a program which provides low- � interest loans to absentee landlords for housing improve- ments. � ' , FIGURE 2-1 RESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY �, , _. � �� _ a � t1: II` �� - r I �� r � t Ll � _ , ____ � k ..�r ...�i ,-� �� .:f 1,� � II 7 .' `_ _..-�' r � . ..J��--�;�I %� �.. - � I �, ; �� 'ftla y�� k C � � � . i \ � .. � �. � , ; y,.� �1� ' _�. - �• „- �� i i I .f ..1 �s� '�'s _ � .( ; .. ...- . i •� x �• � �.� � IL .1 _ '�_ � I --ti�� , o � ' -' . �. ��. . :' -� . _�i i _ - . . � . . _ ._�. , �1 �.- .. f.'_ �i �r �w, _ � 7-� -- — '7'- t ,� i �- _. �� . � ��,� � i � ... `� � � � 7 - _ _ I . 1� �t .� .— . . . i . ._ _.� �. � �,_,�� -�� =��e�- � _ � . ., � .� �C� Tn . - � , �C- —1J-J _' I� � f ` J ,�� ,''� r � � � �[ --.

Transpor- � tation planning and deveiopment shaTl best provide for such movement within, through and to the neighborhood. � a.Provide input to regional and city transportation plan- ning. ' b.Create a hierarchy of streets and circulation routes. c.Designate and enforce the use of truck routes. , d.Close unnecessary streets, as desjgnated by residents. ' e.Provide off-street parking where possible. f.Maintajn and upgrade the quality of all streets, alleys, , sidewalks, etc. g.Provide for easy intra-community circulation with pedes- , trian walkways, bikeways, �etc. h.Maxim�fize easy transportation for the elderly and handi- , capped. i.Provide for intra-community mass transit. ' Using the "Functional Classification of Thoroughfares" as ' developed by the Street and Highway P1an, District 4 classified its streets. Through traffic should be channeled onto arterials. Short �rips in the neighbor- � hood should be channeled onto collectors. Local streets are strictly for trips within the immediate area. These classifications conform with the City �Street & Highway � Plan and are shown in Figure 2-2. _ � � 1 8 � � � � � , I � .__ . —�,,.� —*maoc�„c�:_�cr--.,_ 3� ��j " ' �xsac��3�ac$aa�n sea�a�sa�u�� a�oaea�raaaaa�u«� ^�' � � -- •- " — ac�RAS 8 to�� gs�csp{ �a�sta Qaoco-aaaag wooa0000 xawooa 0000gaoot�acqomoc: �aca�ssna!roaaoa iF sts�8 x��ES��fa��ss�a�� ;p,,,,,,e,;..,�„ ...,,. } . �aaa�sa�ao�iac��'a��o6oD8 ��t6aa�aac�a �bbb�cooaaa�Qo-��o�aaaaoaa�+wao- ;�� .°Q°0�°e �� - - - �eea , .�._ � I��:� -- �BE 8�88�SQ3�f�'�s�saaaa�aaaaa ca��aa��RS: � ,Y"� �...� ,�� pp spt� �44Ft fio44o-f�i`�b A�R��iS�i�C�Fj r�ddoa a00066oa . .

U OBTLE R FIC a.Because �hiS dtstrict is so close to downtown and the � intersection of major east-west and north-south inter- state freeways, a great deal of traffic passes through the district on its way to and from other places. ,� b.Regular heavy truck traffic thorugh the district is producing dis�urbing noise levels and safety hazards. The Public Works Department has designated truck routes. � Many vehicles are violating this, especially along Minnehaha Avenue. � c.Of all the arterials and collectors, only East Seventh Street between Mounds Boulevard and Earl Street is signi- ficantly overburdened with traffic. � d.Many local streets are severely congested, especially in the vicinity of East Seventh Street. This is the result of large industrial and commercial traffic to an � area ill-equipped to handle it. Spillover onto residen- tial streets is having a blighting effect in terms of air • pollution, aesthetics, safety and property values. ,� e.Several intersect9ons have h9gh accident rates, parti- cularly Sixth and Arcade. � PROPOSALS 1 .The Dayton's Bluff comnunity supports the Public Works truck routes plan. Compl9ance with it should be enforced. � 2.Through mor.e detailed planning and design, the city should: (a) im rove dangerous intersect9ons such as 6th ,' and Arcade; (b� discourage the heavy use of local � streets, particularly near East 7th Street; (c) relieve congest�on along East 7th between Mounds Boulevard and � Earl Street; and (d) make any changes that reduce acci- � dent rates at Earl Street and Hudson Road, Earl and 6th . Streets, Earl and 3rd Streets and Johnson Parkway and 7th Street. � � � � � 11 , � � , � EET ND HIGHWAY �PL N � The�East Side lacks adequate north-south and east-west thoroughfares dur9ng peak hours. In order to alleviate the congestion, the city is exploring the following � alternatives: a.North-South: Instead of a new route along the English- � . Etna corridor, the plan calls for the improvement of bottlenecks and other congestion producing problems along . White Bear Avenue. b.East-West: Currently, Maryland Avenue is heavily � congested during peak hours with through traffic from eastern St. Paul . An alternate route has been tenta- � tively ldentified along the ra9lroad right-of-way on the northern boundary of District 4, and into downtown on an extension of Como Avenue behind the State Capitol . � PROPOSALS 1 .The residents of Dayton's Bluff support minor improve- ment of White Bear Avenue. New lanes, however, should � not be added, except at turn lanes. 2.The Dayton's Bluff conmunity opposes the English-Etna � corridor and any configuration of a new north-south thoroughfare through the district or on the East Side. 3.The East Como Avenue extens9on alternative should be , explored, and if feasible, implemented. 4.Unti1 implementation of proposals � and 3 above, the , following interim measures are recommended: a.No one-way pairing of East Seventh Street and Minnehaha; b.Provide off-street parking on Seventh Street for the commercial area, where feasible; � c.Designate a downtown by-pass route on East Minnehaha • from East Seventh to Payne Avenue, to Collins Street, to Universlty Avenue; � . d.Resolve traffic flow problems with the two drive-in banks on East Seventh Street; and e.Johnson Parkway should remain a parkway. It should be � repaved and a bicycle path should be developed within its right-of-way. � � � 12 � � a • � , � - �r � V . ,. . . . � • • � , � . . AUT OBTLE P RKING a.Limited parking and circulation is a severe problem in � the vicinity of the East Seventh commercial strip. Off- street parking is often filled with employees who cannot park on the streets because of time limitations. These limitations discourage customers from shopping in the i area. Furthermore, internal circulation is hampered by parked vehicles along streets. It is estimated that the Seventh Street commercial strip area is short approximate- � ly 150 parking spaces. b.Congestion is amplified many times at rush hours when � approximately 4,000 employees of 3M, Whirlpool , and Flint- kote arrive and depart. Parking lot entrances tend to conflict with traffic. � PROPOSAL The East Seventh Area Business Association and DBCC, along with the City Planning Division, should initiate a � study and plan, and implement improvements which will relieve or resolve the severe parking problems in the • East Seventh commercial area. � . . S REE N I ONS ND DESIGN Twenty-five percent (25%) of the streets in Dayton's � Bluff are paved. Except in ITAs, all paved streets func- tion as arterials or collectors. ' � b.Most resjdential streets are oil surfaced, although a few are gravel . c.Some streets have curbs in fair to poor condition; � others have none. . There are granite curbs in a few areas. � d.Sidewalks are generally in good condition, but are , absent in certain locations. e.The district�s streets are laid out accord�ng to two � separate grids. Blocks west of Arcade are oriented north- east-southwest. The newer blocks east of Arcade run directly east-west. � f.There are many dead-ends and detours due to topography. � � 13 � . � � g.There are serious problems where the two grids inter- � sect. Th9s land is characterized by: (1 ) poor site angles; (2) lack of driver orientat�on; (3) unnecessary bends in roads; (4) many small parcels of unused land; � (5) blighting influences; (6) difficult street main- tenance; and (7) dangerous pedestrian crosswalks. PROPOSALS � 1 .Pub11c Works should improve the physical and aesthetic . conditions of deteriorating or unsightly streets- side- walks and �urbs. Top priority should be given to areas � within and ad�acent to ITAs and the East Seventh canmer- cial area. 2.Granite curbs should be preserved. � E �a.Public transportation is limited to three MTC bus routes which run on East Seventh Street, Minnehaha- Atlantic-East Sixth Streets, and East Third Street and an � express route on I-94. They cannot be considered major • forms of transportation within the cammunity. b.There is a lack of safe, pleasant pedestrian walkways. � Sidewalks are narrow, and without street Purniture. c.Only one of the four viaducts over the district's 2.5 � mile section of I-94 has sufficiert pedestrian facilities. . d.There are no designated bike paths or routes. � PROPOSALS 1 .Five foot wide sidewalks should be provided where and � when feasible. . 2.The Dayton's Bluff canmunity supports the city's planned bikeways along Johnson Parkway, Mounds Boulevard, � , and Warner Road. 3.The intra-carmunity bike routes and paths shown below � should be constructed and designated as funding becomes - available, and safety precautions should be made. � � 14 � � � � . � � , - FIGURE 2-3 BUS ROUTES � � I �LI_ � 4 !L`t� �I� , � �IJ( .A. .....�IC 1[ �1�� ]C .1[ - .,1 ' �, - I _ � I. _ _. � a.r.9.� — ; :� 1�_� __ , _ L�� i' i - n - � --� J ir 7P ' '�'y.�J::_, '�� I,��II f`° )f� " tt�r"- f �(� f 1 '?L ]C li �L.nrc -. -..�f �-?

I SUES a.Resident9al : Nearly 35� of Dayton's Bluff land is residential . Generally, density decreases as one goes � eastward. b.Commercjal : Approximately 62� bf the corranunity's land is commercial . Most is located in the East Seventh Street � strip. Other minor commercial nodes include the inter- , section of East Third Street and Maria Avenue, Hudson Road and Earl Street and other intersections. � c.Industrial : Nearly 6� of Bayton's 6.1uff's land is utilized for industrial use. At the northern end of the - district sits one of St. Paul 's most concentrated indus- � trial centers. A variety of smaller industrial facili- , ties and warehouses are scattered about Dayton's Bluff. � d.Institutjonal : Health facilities, churches, schools, group homes and other 9nstitutional land uses take up less than 2� of Dayton's Bluff and tend to be isolated � from one another. At the western end of East Seventh Street is a pocket of institn�ions, principally health centers. A number of group homes have congregated in the western section of the Mounds Park neighborhood. � � 17 � , � � , � e.Open Space► Dayton`s Bluff is almost totally developed. � Only Swede Hollow, Mounds Park, some neighborhood and district parks, and isolated vacant lots provide relief from fairly dense urban dev�lopment.

However, a few relatively natural areas exist which are quite sensi- tive. Such are Swede Hollow and the Mississippi River � bluff and Indian Mounds Park area. b.Dayton's Bluff is concerned about the deteriorating quality of the Mississippi due to runoff from the dis- � trlct. c.Noise pollution has become a source of continuing � irritation. The district is plagued wlth extensive and disruptive nolse from: (1 ) the industries at the nor- thern end of�the neighborhood; (2) aircraft la�ding and taking off from Holman Field; and (3) automobile traffic, � especially from I-94 and East Seventh Street. d.The visual environment 9s negat9vely affected by the � lack of su�Fficient trash receptacles and litter pick-up � services. In certain areas, particularly along East � Seventh Street, oversized and unaesthetic outdoor a8ver- � tising create "visual noise". PROPOSALS � l .The City Planning Division should instigate a citywide environmental impact rev9ew process whlch addresses all future development. 2.Swede Hollow should be maintair�ed as a natural area. � Any use within the Hollow that may s9gnificantly alter the natural character should not be� permitted by the city, � and should be actively discouraged by the Dayton's Bluff cor�nu n i ty. 3.Developers building near the Mississippi River bluff � should start by accepting that the natural land charac- . teristics are the basic unify9ng element in the environ- mental design. Vistas shou'�d not be blocked. � 4.The clty should require a special use permit for the development of all areas having a slope of 12� or greater. � 5.Loca1 industries should soften excessively loud opera- tions where feasible. � . l 1 22 , � ' . � / � 6.The Dayton's Bluff planning comnittee shall identify unsightly land uses and encourage property owners to � construct shields (preferably landscaped). 7.Public and private parties should continue to remove diseased trees and replace them with multiple species. � 8.Public Works should provide pedestrian and bicycle use areas with a sufficient number of trash receptacles. � These should be of a design that compliments the surround- ing environment.

ECIES a.Improve the conditions of streets and alleys, curbs, . and sidewalks throughout Dayton's Bluff. � b.Provide adequate street lighting. c.Upgrade all public utility systems that are overloaded � or of poor quality. � a.A�small amount of gas main replacement is needed in isolated areas; lower Maria Avenue; Conway Avenue near � Dayton's Bluff playground; Beech Avenue near Margaret Playground; and Margaret Street between Mendota and Forest Streets. � b.Most homes are equ�pped with lead water service connec- , tions, which require a high amount of maintenance. The water utility division repairs these as needed, at no � cost to the homeowner. Replacenent of lead water connec- tion pipes has been discontinued due to cost. c.Large scale replacement of dutch elms is needed. � d.The ent9re residential area is equipped with pole- mounted mercury vapor street lamps. However, very little � mid-block lighting is provided. By 1980, the Public Works Department will be initiating lighting construction projects along: East Sixth Street between Mounds Boule- , vard and Arcade Street; East Seventh Street between Reaney and Birmingham Streets; and Johnson Parkway (entire length). � 23 ' • � � PROPOSALS � 1 .The Public Works Department should improve the condi- tions of streets, curbs and s9dewalks throughout the canmunity as needed.

All of them � will deliver prescriptions within Dayton's Bluff. g.Many health services in the area are not access�ible to residents who are unavailable during work hours. � h.Health services are extremely expensive. It is espe- cially relevant in Dayton's Bluff because the family � income 1eve1 �s lower than the city. Because people are spending a greater proportion of their incomes on health care, they may choose to do without. ' i.Defrayment of health care costs is available through insurance programs usually administered through an indi- , vidual 's employer. Many residents are employed in firms that typically have deficient health benefit programs and unemployment is slightly higher in these census ' tracts than throughout the city. j.Medicare and Medicaid are extensively utilized within � the neighborhood. However, the majority of families are � _ not eligible because of income and/or age limitations. ' Eligibility is a problem with other services (e.g. , home delivered meals) . � k.Most peopte know of the curative services that are available. There is, however, relatively little under- standing of the preventative programs that exist. � ' ' 28 , � • � , , . PROPOSALS 1 .The city should conduct a general health care services � needs assessment. It should inc�ude an exploration of the need for community clinics, comnunity care programs and outreach services. � 2.Public and private health care providers should improve the availability of health related information and � educational opportunities to all segments of the � car�nunity's population. 3.Public and private parties should expand the availa- / bility of programs such as home delivered meals for � seniors, early-periodic screening, and teenage medical services.

Ten to 15� of the school � age population attends private schools. � c.Although there is a relative abundance of adult educa- tional programs, a relatively small propertion of the � district's popalation takes advantage of them. This may be a result of a general unawarness of existing programs. Likewise, operating hours, location, cost and eligibility , factors account for the lack of v�idespread participation.

The funding should be considered if the non- � profit facility 1 ) provides recreational facilities which the city would otherwise have to provide and 2) can provide services on the same criteria of participation as that provided by city recreational centers. ' 9.The Parks and Recreation Division should initiate a discussion with District 4 regarding improvements to the ' programs at District 4 parks.

The four largest employers employ over 4,000 , people. Although these firms may be reducing work loads, they will always provide a large number of �obs to the local community. These canpanies are large national , firms, sheltered from the effects of the local comnunity's economy.

E The East Seventh Street Business Association is producing � a plan for Dayton's Bluff's commercial area. This is a . more detailed study of the East Seventh Camiercial Area than this district plan. ' The plan's premise is that the area has "reached a point where it no longer has the independent ability to forge ' ahead and thrive on its own". Directing improvements in a planned and cohesive way can reverse the trend and produce a more pleasant and profitable condition. The plan addresses economic development, land use, ' transportation and parking, design and envirorment. Major issues are history and identity, economic status, neigh- borhood relations, physical status, circulation, design � - and envirorment, and administration. Among policy and design recomrnendations is a proposal to � growp establishment s which serve similar functions (i.e. , quick daily stop stores with the post office). Improve- ment and expansion of parking near Seventh and Arcade, ' 3M and other off-street lots is seen as necessary. The plan emphasizes the importan�e of upgrading the visual image of East Seventh Street with design alterations (see ' drawing). PROPOSALS 1 .The Dayton's Bluff community supports the East Seventh � Street carmercial area plan's priorities of: a.Highest: (1 ) the East Seventh Street Area Business , . Association should continue to expand its membership and develop its promotional and planning activities; (2) exterior rehabilitation as recommended in the Commercial � Area Plan should be undertaken; and (3) legislative changes at all levels of government should be jmplemented that maximiie the potential of East Seventh Street area businesses. Such changes should include legislation � dealing with capital improvements, commercial developmenc financing, easement regulations, tax laws, etc. � 44 , 1 , ' , ' , ' b.Higher: (1 ) circulation improvements as recommended in this plan's transportation section should be instiga�ed ' by the city; and (2) new streets, sidewalks, boulevards and utilities must be improved in order to improve the aesthetics of the strip. � c.Other: (1 ) new deve�opment should occur as it becomes apparent that many forces are acting to improve the commercial area; and (2) landscaping and lighting , � improvements should be coupled with building rehabilita- tion. � 2.Improvements on the street should concentrate first on the central area between Margaret and Minnehaha; second, between Minnehaha and Reaney, and third, between Margaret and Greenbrier. , 4. . , The de�nands for carmercial service and office space should continue to be met. ' . . CKGR UN a.Space for service establishments is plentiful . Appro- zimately 17% of the commercial area along East Seventh ' Street is occupied by offices and other commercial service outlets. Other such space appears in pockets. ' b.One-third of the office space is devoted to production admin9stration associated with the large industrial companies. This type of space will be relatively con- , stant. c.The remaining service outlets are used by smaller . insurance and real estate brokers, barbers, lawyers, , accountants, etc. Most of these serve the canmunity. PROPOSALS ' 1 .Suffici�ent commercial service and office space should continue to be made available in areas identified as "comrnercial" in the Land Use Plan. ' ' ' 45 ' , • ' ' . I . . E , The industrial firm s in Dayton's Bluff should continue to respect the community's desires and aid the improvenent of the district. _ , . K The five companies producing almost the entire industrial ' output of the district are all heavy industries providing basic products. They dfstribute regionally and nationally. All of these companies have been strong assets to ' Dayton's Bluff. They have contributed funds for various canmunity projects, and have attempted to minimize adverse effects of their operations. � PROPOSAL 1 .The DBCC should meet with the district`.s industries to agree upon any expansion plans, buffer needs and other ' concerns.
