PAUL, MINNESOTA 55106 December 13, 1977 Council President Sylvester, and Members of the St. Paul City Council Dear Council Members: The �Dayton's Bluff Community Council would like to voice our unanimous and firm opposition to the rezoning from RT-I to B-3 the property at 1236-1238 East Seventh Street, aka part of Lot I, Block 3, Messerli and Eschbachs Addition. At our Executive Board Meeting, held December Sth, the Dayton's Bluff Community Counci) voted unanimously to oppose this rezoning and to support efforts of neighborhood residents to prevent the intrusion of this new business into their community. Such spot commercial zoning is in direct and fundamental confli ct with the District 4 Gen- eral District Plan which has been approved by the residents of Datyon's Bluff, and would destroy the essentially residential character of East Seventh Street which runs from Newcombe Street to White Bear Avenue. It would also undercut and make shambles of the Council's attempt to maintain and rennovate the precious few remaining neighborhoods in Dayton's Bluff. ' In addition, a B-3 rezoning is not necessary for the avowed intent of the developer, namely a real estate office, and would open the door to other less desirable businesses in the future, as well as encouraging businesses of a similar nature to ask for spot rezonings on this section of East Seventh $treet. Allowing new businesses to creep into a neighborhood would doom this section of East Seventh to the inevitable fate of one vast commercial strip. Furthermore, such rezoning is not needed when there is ample space and opportunity for the development of a real estate office or other business in the commercial strip of East Seventh running from Mario to Duluth Strc:et:, where nc�w husinEasses are n�ed��l. This is especially the case in that section of EasF Sevcnth frcxn 1=iank lo Uuluth Shect, less than 2 blocks a- way from the proposed rezoning site, and where no rezoning should be necessary. Why destroy a neighborhood, even a border neighborhood, with the intrusiori of a new business when sites just a short distance away are vacant and begging for new owners? . . i � , a � .

PAUL, MINNESOTA 55106 Finally, the noise and air pollution from heavy truck and car traffic on East Seventh already discouroges people from residing on East Seventh. More businesses would add to this problem, causing traffic and parking problems, and further lowering residentiat property values as well as destroying any neighbo�hoad. It is time to put a stop to the encroachment of businesses on new property and neighborhoods of East Seventh Street and encourage them to maintain, renno'vate, and develop the existing commercial st�ip of East Seventh. � On behalf of residents of the East Side, we strongly urge you to deny Rice Investors their petition to rezone this property.

DEC. 15, 1977 PRESENT• Mmes.Summers, Grittner and Karns, Messrs. Humner, Pangal and Bryan of t e�Current Planning & Zoning Eommittee; Mr. Robert Straughn, City Attorney; Mr. Richard Amey of the Division of Housing & Building Code Enforcement; Mnes. MENeally and Fox and Mr. Edward J. Warn of the Planning Staff. The meeting was chaired by Mr. James Bryan, Chairman. RICE INVESTORS (#8241 ): A request to rezone from RT-1 to B-3 property located on the south side of East Seventh Street between Atlantic and Duluth. The petitioner was present. There was opposition. Mr. Warn read the staff report and showed slides of the subject site. Mr. Del A. Arrigoni , 1450 Arlington, said Rice Investors was formerly Schroeder Milk Company, and the property had been purchased in September. He referred to the commercial properties in the area and described the subject site as having 15 ft. ceilings, with taxes at $1300 per year. He said it had been purchased for the Arrigoni real estate office subject to the lease to Alcoholics Anonymous which will expire December 31 , 1978. He said the site is a $60,000 investment and their real estate office takes 1/3 of the building. He said they should be getting more money than they are getting from Alcoholics Anonymous ($300/mo. for 4000 sq. ft.) Mr. Pangal asked the petitioner if he would consider reducing his request to OS-l . Mr.Arrigoni asked if OS-1 would include a liquor store and Mr. Pangal answered no. Mr. Arrigon� said the Red Mill might be condemned and might make him an offer. Mr. Robert Arrigoni , 2171 Valley View Place, the son of Del Arrigoni , said he grew up 3 blocks from the subject site when it was a grocery store. He said AA will not be able to stay in the building after their lease runs out next year. He added that AA has meetings every day, six days a week. He said the Arrigonis intend to have the building used for more of a business place, and they have no intention at the present time to put in a liquor store. Mr. Humner asked if the present zoning had been known when they purchased the property, and Robert Arrigoni said yes--they had received a letter from the City of Saint Paul saying they were nonconforming. He said the building could not be residential with the high ceilings, etc. Mr. �Bruce Lightner, 1235 Ross, spoke in opposition to the rezoning request. He submitted a petition signed by 47 neighbors who live within 350 feet and read a prepared statement of opposition. Upon being queried by Ms. Grittner, he said people do park in his backyard where there is no garage. Mr. Orlando Messerli , 1216 East Seventh Street, said he was interested in trying to keep up the neighborhood, and that anything below Newcomb Street is definitely commercial but has deteriorated. He said the corner lot had been a grocery store for three generations, and all the neighbors were glad to have a grocery store there. They feel if it is rezoned, a liquor store could very easily be put there, and property values would go down. He said the Red Mill and other tavern are far i � �°"•� RICE INVESTORS Page 2 ;._ enough away that they do not get the noise, but on thiS cornel^;.nvise would affect all the homes in the area. He said young people have invested their money and are trying to build up the neiqhborhood and trying to protect their investments. Mr. Messerli said that if Mr. Arrigoni bought the property knowing it was zoned wrong, it is their own fault. Mr. Ron Wagner, 1787 East Minnehaha, said he represented his father at 1212 East Seventh St. and he also is the new canmunity coordinator for Daytons Bluff. He read a letter from the Daytons Bluff Cormnunity Council in unanimous opposition to the rezoning requestt saying there are other sites where the real estate office could be built in a commercial area. He referred to the traffic situation and parking problems, as well as lowering of the residential property values in the area. He said his father has lived in the neighborhood 40 years and has seen the neighborhood go downhill , but in recent years there has been a turnaround and from Newcomb St. on down, there is a lot of investment in rehabbing homes. He added that residential property owners are� not being given a lot of encouragement by introducing comnercial into a residential zone. Mr. Pangal said that anyone buying the building, inasmuch as it is a legal nonconforming use, would not put any money into it, but would bleed it for investment. He said OS-1 would encourage the owners of property to maintain it and he wondered if District 4 would object to an OS-1 . Mr. Wagner said as far as the neighbors are concerned, they probably would be more acceptable to OS-1 , but the City Council might not because they are trying to encourage completely residential areas. Ms. Claudia Jorgenson, 1220 Ross, opposing the rezoning r�quest, said they had bought their beautiful home and told of the addition onto it, �nd said that comnercial zoning on the corner property would make people reluctant to move into the area. Mr. George W. Rieff, 862 Atlantic, said he owns five lots plus a beautiful home, and he opposed the rezoning, saying there is a terrible traffic problem with AA. He told of contacting the police, who say AA have been no trouble. Mr. Rieff wondered why a duplex could not be put on the property, and why AA? Mr. Bryan explained the legal nonconforming use. Mr. Ken Honebrink, 1232 E. 7th Street, said he has known the Arrigonis many years and he would not be opposed to OS-1 zoning, but would prefer to leave it the way it is. He said although they say there is no intention of putting in a bar, that intention might be changed. He opposed the requested rezoning because he thought it would lower property values in the area. He said he is part owner of the adjacer�tsite. Mr. Richard Honebrink, 1232 E. 7th St. , also part owner of the adjacer�tsite, said possibly more people at the hearing would be in agreement with an OS-1 zoning. He felt that B-3 would just open the door to changes in the future and asked for denial of the petitoner's request. � � '�µ RICE INVESTORS Page 3 Mr. R. Arrigoni said there was a misunderstanding about B-3, as they have no intention of putting in a �liquor store. He said AA probably will not stay there. He added that he would be very well satisfied to go for an OS-1 zoning for a grocery store or whatever. He said the Arrigonis have a two-man real estate office and that is all it ever was. Mr. Del Ar�igoni said the lease of AA runs through Dec. 31 , 1978, and his son, Robert Arrigoni , added that AA wants to renew for another five years. Mr. Bryan asked if Mr. Del Arrigoni was saying he wanted to change his request to OS-1 and the answer was yes. Mr. Straughn stated that this was proper. Mr. Pangal moved to recommend approval of the OS-1 rezoni,ng. His motion was seconded by Ms. Grittner and passed on a 6 to 0 roll call vote. , Submitted by: gp ov by: �`�1/••�r Edward J.

Dear Madam: This letter is written in response to the petition of Rice Investors to rezone property located at 1236-1238 E. Seventh Street (Southwest corner of E. Seventh & Atlantic) from RT-1 (Two-Fami7y Residential) to OS-1 (Office Service). This matter was heard before the Current Planning & Zoning Committee on December 15, 1977 at which time the petitioner, Arrigoni Brothers, changed their original request of rezoning from RT-1 to B-3 to RT-1 to OS-1 . Staff recom�nended denial of the original request to rezone from RT-1 to B-3. Staff recommended at the Current Planning & Zoning Committee meeting that the revised request to rezone from RT-1 to OS-1 be approved. Mr. Pangal moved to recommend approval to rezone to OS-1 . Ms. Grittner seconded the motion and it passed on a 6 to 0 roll call vote. On December 16, 1977 the Planning Commission confirmed the recommendation of the Current Planning and Zoning Committee by a 17 to 0 vote. This meeting is scheduled to be heard before the Saint Paul City Council on January 26, 1978. 'Sinc rely, Edward J. Wa Senior City nner EJW/gf Zoning File No. 8241 Enc. �55 . . . .

PAUL, MINNESOTA 55106 December 13, 1977 • Council President Sylvester, and Members of the St. Paul City Council Dear Counci I Members: The �Dayton's Bluff Community Council would like to voice aur unanimous and firm opposition to the rezoning from RT-I to B-3 the property at 1236-1238 East Seyenth Street, aka part of Lot (, Block 3, Messerli nnd Eschbachs Addition. At our Executive Board Meeting, held December Sth, the Dayton's Bluff Community Council voted unanimously to oppose this rezoning and to support efforts of neighborhood residents to prevent the intrusion of this new business into their community. Such spot commercial zoning is in direct and fundamenta) confli ct with the District 4 Gen- eral District Plan which has been approved by the residents of Datyon's Bluff, and would dest�oy the essentialfy residential character of East Seventh Street which runs from Newcombe Street to White Bear Avenue. It would also undercut and make shambles of the Council's attempt to maintain and rennovate the precious few remaining neighborhoods in Dayton's Bluff. ' In addition, a B-3 rezoning is not necessary for the avowed intent of the developer, namely a real estate office, and would open the door to other less desirable businesses in the future, as well as encouraging businesses of a similar nature to ask for spot rezonings on this section of East Seventh Street. Allowing new businesses to creep into a neighborhood would doom this section of East Seventh to the inevitable fate of one vast commercial strip. Furthermore, such rezoning is not needed when there is ample space and opportunity for the development of a real estate office or other business in the commercial st�ip of East Seventh running from Moria to Duluth Streets, where new businesses arc n�eded. This is espeeially the case in that section of East Seventh fram F�ank 10 Uuluth Stre�t, less rhan 2 blocks a- way•from the proposed rezoning site, and where no rezoning should be necessary. Why destroy a neighborhood, even a border neighborhood, with the intrusion of a new business when sites just a short distance away ore vacant and begging for new owners? 1 �, . , >y PNONE 772-2075 ��ITY G�� • GD.U�CIL _ - OF DAYTON'g BL� ��'� � 279 CYf'RESS ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 5510b � Finally, the noise and air pollution from heavy truck and car traffic on fast Seventh already discouroges people from residing on East Seventh. More businesses would add to this prablem, cousing traffic and parking problems, and further (owering residenticl property values as well as destroying any neighborhood. It is time to put a stop to the encroachment of businesses on new property and neighborhoods of East Seventh Street and encourage them to maintain, renno'vate, and develop the existing commercial strip of East Seventh. On behalf of residents of the East $ide, we strongly urge you to de�y Rice Investors their petition to rezone this property. Thank you for your consideration ond action on this matter of concern to your constituents on the East S ide.

Hummer, Pangal and Bryan of the Current Planning & Zoning Eommittee; Mr. Robert Straughn, City Attorney; Mr. Richard Amey of the Division of Housing & Building Code Enforcement; N6nes. McNeally and Fox and Mr. Edward J. Warn of the Planning St-�€f. The meeting was chaired by Mr. James Bryan, Chairman: RICE INVESTORS (#8241 ): A request to rezone from RT-1 to B-3 property located on the south side of East Seventh Street between Atlantic and Duluth. The petitioner was present. There was opposition. Mr. Warn read the staff report and showed slides of the subject site. Mr. Del A. Arrigoni , 1450 Arlington, said Rice Investors was formerly Schroeder Milk Company, and the property had been purchased in September. He referred to the commercial properties in the area and described the subject site as having 15 ft. ceilings, with taxes at $1300 per year. He said it had been purchased for the Arrigoni real estate office subject to the lease to Alcoholics Anonymous which will expire December 31 , 1978. He said the site is a $60,000 investment and their real estate office takes 1/3 of the building. He said they should be getting more money than they are getting from Alcoholics Anonymous ($300/mo. for 4000 sq. ft. ) Mr. Pangal asked the petitioner if he would consider reducing his request to OS-1 . Mr.Arrigoni asked if OS-1 would include a liquor store and Mr. Pangal answered no. Mr. Arrigoni said the Red Mill might be condemned and might ma�ke him an offer. Mr. Robert Arrigoni , 2171 Valley View Place, the son of Del Arrigoni , said he grew up 3 blocks from the subject site when it was a grocery store. He said AA will not be able to stay in the building after their lease runs out next year. He added that AA has meetings every day, six days a week. He said the Arrigonis intend to have the building used for more of a business place, and they have no intention at the present time to put in a liquor store. Mr. Humner asked if the present zoning had been known when they purchased the property, and Robert Arrigoni said yes--they had received a letter from the City of Saint Paul saying they were nonconforming. He said the building could not be residential with the high ceilings, etc. Mr. �Bruce Lightner, 1235 Ross, spoke in opposition to the rezoning request. He submitted a petition signed by 47 neighbors who live within 350 feet and read a prepared statement of opposition. Upon being queried by Ms. Grittner, he said people do park in his backyard where there is no garage. Mr. Orlando Messerli , 1216 East Seventh Street, said he was interested in trying to keep up the neighborhood, and that anything below Newcomb Street is definitely commercial but has deteriorated. He said the corner lot had been a grocery store for three generations, and all the neighbors were glad to have a grocery store there. They feel if it is rezoned, a liquor store could very easily be put there, and property values would go down. He said the Red Mill and other tavern are far � .' �,r,� RICE INVESTORS Page 2 enough away that they do not get the noise, but on this corner noise would affect all the homes in the area. He said young people have invested their money and are trying to build up the neighborhood and trying to protect their investments. Mr. Messerli said that if Mr. Arrigoni bought the property knowing it was zoned wrong, it is their own fault. Mr. Ron Wagner, 1787 East Minnehaha, said he represented his father at 1212 East Seventh St. and he also is the new community coordinator for Daytons Bluff. He read a letter from the Daytons Bluff Community Council in unanimous opposition to the rezoning request� saying there are other sites where the real estate office could be built in a commercial area. He referred to the traffic situation and parking problems, as well as lowering of the residential property values in the area. He said his father has lived in the neighborhood 40 years and has seen the neighborhood go downhill , but in recent years there has been a turnaround and from Newcomb St. on down, there is a lot of investment in rehabbing homes. , He added that residential property owners are not being given a lot of encouragement by introducing commercial into a residential zone. Mr. Pangal said that anyone buying the building, inasmuch as it is a legal nonconforming use, would not put any money into it, but would bleed it for investment. He said OS-1 would encourage the owners of property to maintain it and he wondered if District 4 would object to an OS-1 . Mr. Wagner said as far as the neighbors are concerned, they probably would be �hore acceptable to OS-1 , but the City Council might not because they are trying to encourage completely residential areas. Ms. Claudia Jorgenson, 1220 Ross, opposing the rezoning request, said they had bought their beautiful home and told of the addition onto it, and said that commercial zoning on the corner property would make people reluctant to move into the area. Mr. George W. Rieff, 862 Atlantic, said he owns five lots plus a beautiful home, and he opposed the rezoning, saying there is a terrible traffic problem with AA. He told of contacting the police, who say AA have been no trouble. Mr. Rieff wondered why a duplex could not be put on the property, and why AA? Mr. Bryan explained the legal nonconforming use. Mr. Ken Honebrink, 1232 E. 7th Street, said he has known the Arrigonis many years and he would not be opposed to OS-1 zoning, but would prefer to leave it the way it is. He said although they say there is no intention of putting in a bar, that intention might be changed. He opposed the requested rezoning because he thought it would lower property values in the area. He said he is part owner of the adjacentsite. Mr. Richard Honebrink, 1232 E. 7th St. , also part owner of the adjacer�tsite, said possibly more people at the hearing would be in agreement with an OS-1 zoning. He felt that 6-3 would just open the door to changes in the future and asked for denial of the petitoner's request. iI .,� � .. ` RICE INVESTORS Page 3 Mr. R. Arrigoni said there was a misunderstanding about B-3, as they have no intention of putting in a liquor store. He said AA probably will not stay there. He added that he would be very well satisfied to go for an OS-1 zoning for a grocery store or whatever. He said the Arrigonis have a two-man real estate office and that is all it ever was. Mr. Del Arr�igoni said the lease of AA runs through Dec. 31 , 1978, and his son, Robert Arrigoni , added that AA wants to renew for another five years. Mr. Bryan asked if Mr. Del Arrigoni was saying he wanted to change his request to OS-1 and the answer was yes. Mr. Straughn stated that this was proper. Mr. Pangal moved to recommend approval of tl� OS-1 rezoning. His motion was seconded by Ms. Grittner and passed on a 6 to 0 roli call vote. Submitted by: Ijp ov by: � ��'r'`�/�� Edward J.
