We believe that the request is inconsistent with the ac>als stated in the "Saint Paud on the Mississippi Developraext Framewor&"to: 1) "Identify, preserve aad erthance criticn! views artd p�rnoramas in and araund !he core and the riverfronL" The view up Cedar from "7`�' Screet to the Capitol is identified as an imporram view to be preserved. 2) "Extend and link pedestrian precinds by connecting the urbwr vi!/ages now ii: downtowrc " The area around Titzgerald Park is targeted as a pedesuian focal point where an at-gr weather-protected precinct should develop in the nine square blocks aromid the proposed pazk and Fitzgerald Theater. 3) "Suppleluent lhe skyway system wuh ulte�nate weatlier nrotected roule� " We encourage new development to support the Street level as the main pedestrian Ievel, not skyways. We encourage altemative approaohes to providin; weather Qmtection and security, including: freestanding weathet protection slructures and azchitectural faqade and streetscape elements that illuminate, buffer wind and heat the environment. We have met with MPR and their architects and have ageed on a process to address these and other urban design issues. We will meet in March to establisY� project goals addressing the public realm, neigAborhood context, MPR's private development program, Design Center issues, and a discussion of the Fiamewurk Principles. Nex� we wili meet at HGA Architects to review and understand tfie MPR fanctional program. Fotlowing that session we will participate several desi� work sessions to review, discuss and offer opinions on alternative design concepts explored by L-LGA/MPR. The Design Center will present the MPR design to iYs Adjunct Team for comment ai one of the Summer Adjunct Tcam Meetings. We hope that these discussions will lead to a mutusl)y acceptable approach to connecting the MPft £acilities in the Fitzgerald Park Campus. Perhaps Cultwral Star �rant resowces ean be used as an incentive to aeate this street-level system that connects MPR with Musictech, History Theatre etc. to the CBD.

Both legal descriptions should retum to the southwesterly line of Tract B instead of the east right-of- way line of Cedar Street. 2. The description should also have an upper limit rather than into infinity. 3. The City needs a minimum clearance under the bridge of 17' 4" in the vehicular area of the street. They are required to use "American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials" standard specifications for Highway Bridges, sixteenth edition, 1946 in the design of the pedestrian bridge. 4. The vacation should bc for the life of the proposed structure only. 5. Why is this private versus public? Can't this be tied into our public skyway system? If it's public we won't need a vacation. 6. Is the skyway compatible with the guidelines for the Capitol view corridor? 7. Should the City really be approving two skyway vacations? Why not approving these locations, but specifying that they can choose one or the other for their construction. Then the area not used will revert back to the City. Since this is a city planning and design issue, we will defer to them on this issue. lcm Copy: Bruce Elder, Mike Klassen, Tracy Moe, Jeff Grosso, Lucy Thompson, Bill Tschida, Responsive Services • Quality Facilities • EntpfoVee Pride O�� l� PETITION TO VACATE CITX INTEREST I(we), the undeisigned, constituting a majoriry of the owne� (or their legatly designated representatives) of the abutting properties, do hereby peation the Coimcil of the Ciry of Saint Paul to vacate iu interests in the properry(ies) legally descnbed as follows: An easement for air rights over and across Cedar Street as dedicated in Robert's and Randall's Addition to St. Paul, according to the recorded plat thereo� Ramsey Cvunty, ntinnesota descnl�ed as follows: Commencing at the southwest comer of Tract B, Registered Land Survey No_ 391, according to the recorded registered land suxvey thereo� Ramsey County, Minnesota; Uience North 36 degrees 48 minutes 16 seconds West, assumed bearing along the southwesterly line of said Tract B, a distance of 66.40 feet to the point of beginning, thence South 53 degees 25 minuies 37 seconds West 60.00 to the west right of way line of Cedar Sueet; thence North 36 degees 48 minutes 16 seconds West 22.00 feet along said line; thence North 53 degrees 25 minutes 37 seconds East 60.00 feet, to the eas[ right of way line of said Cedar Street; theuce South 36 degrees 48 minutes 16 seconds East 22.00 feet along said line to the point of beginning and there terminating.

Recent, and historic, interest in Cass GiiberYs eastem Capitol approach suggests a character that stresses long views, grand parks, squares and boulevards on which landmarks are placed and framed by the surrounding building fabric. This image befits the areas institutional character and would be a wonder�ul setting for the MPR expansion. We believe every effort should be made to preserve and enhance the visual character of the Fi�gerald Park precinct. A Cedar skyway will: • Block the view north along Cedar to the Capitol; ■ Remove MPR pedestrian traffic from the street; and ■ Lessen the incentive to make a truly year-round, weather protected street environment We have met with MPR and their architects and have agreed on a process to address these and other urban design issues. • We will meet in March to establish project goals addressing the public realm, neighborhood conte.xt, MPR's private development program, Design Center issues, and a discussion of the F�ameworkPrincipies. • Next, we will meet at HGA Architects to review and understand the MPR functional program and their need for a skyway over Cedar. • Following that session we will participate in several design work sessions to review, discuss and offer opinions on alternative design concepts explored by HGA/MPR. ■ The Design Center will present the MPR design to it's Adjunct Team for comment at one of the summer Adjunct Team Meetings. We hope that these discussions will lead to a mutually acceptable approach to connecting the MPR facilities in the Fiizgerafd Park Campus. Perhaps Cuftural Star grant resources can be used as an incentive to create a street-level system that connects MPR with Musictech, History Theatre etc. to the CBD. Thank you THE SAINT PAUL ON THE MISSISSIPPI DESIGN CENTER Timothy J. Gri�n Director �a-t�5 February 22, 2002 Deaz City Council Members, While the District Council has taken the position to support the Minnesota Public Radio expansion. The Community Council hopefixlly has made it clear to everyone that there are issues relating to pedestrian and vehiculaz access, public safety, and public skyway access which needs to be addressed in the final design. We also wish the payments "in-lieu-of' property ta�ces aze preserved to cover the City's out-of-pocket expenses created by properties needing city services. It is currently about $30,00�(year for 48� Cedar Street. In regazd to the possible skyway over Cedaz Street, (between the parking ramp and MPR), we strongly support the position that this skyway be open to the public. There has always been a city policy and we believe an ordinance requiring skyways to be accessible for public use. This project which will receive city funding, and will need an easement over a city street surely calls for public access.

We encourage altemative approaohes to providin; weather Qmtection and security, including: freestanding weathet protection slructures and azchitectural faqade and streetscape elements that illuminate, buffer wind and heat the environment. We have met with MPR and their architects and have ageed on a process to address these and other urban design issues. We will meet in March to establisY� project goals addressing the public realm, neigAborhood context, MPR's private development program, Design Center issues, and a discussion of the Fiamewurk Principles. Nex� we wili meet at HGA Architects to review and understand tfie MPR fanctional program. Fotlowing that session we will participate several desi� work sessions to review, discuss and offer opinions on alternative design concepts explored by L-LGA/MPR. The Design Center will present the MPR design to iYs Adjunct Team for comment ai one of the Summer Adjunct Tcam Meetings. We hope that these discussions will lead to a mutusl)y acceptable approach to connecting the MPft £acilities in the Fitzgerald Park Campus. Perhaps Cultwral Star �rant resowces ean be used as an incentive to aeate this street-level system that connects MPR with Musictech, History Theatre etc. to the CBD.

Both legal descriptions should retum to the southwesterly line of Tract B instead of the east right-of- way line of Cedar Street. 2. The description should also have an upper limit rather than into infinity. 3. The City needs a minimum clearance under the bridge of 17' 4" in the vehicular area of the street. They are required to use "American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials" standard specifications for Highway Bridges, sixteenth edition, 1946 in the design of the pedestrian bridge. 4. The vacation should bc for the life of the proposed structure only. 5. Why is this private versus public? Can't this be tied into our public skyway system? If it's public we won't need a vacation. 6. Is the skyway compatible with the guidelines for the Capitol view corridor? 7. Should the City really be approving two skyway vacations? Why not approving these locations, but specifying that they can choose one or the other for their construction. Then the area not used will revert back to the City. Since this is a city planning and design issue, we will defer to them on this issue. lcm Copy: Bruce Elder, Mike Klassen, Tracy Moe, Jeff Grosso, Lucy Thompson, Bill Tschida, Responsive Services • Quality Facilities • EntpfoVee Pride O�� l� PETITION TO VACATE CITX INTEREST I(we), the undeisigned, constituting a majoriry of the owne� (or their legatly designated representatives) of the abutting properties, do hereby peation the Coimcil of the Ciry of Saint Paul to vacate iu interests in the properry(ies) legally descnbed as follows: An easement for air rights over and across Cedar Street as dedicated in Robert's and Randall's Addition to St. Paul, according to the recorded plat thereo� Ramsey Cvunty, ntinnesota descnl�ed as follows: Commencing at the southwest comer of Tract B, Registered Land Survey No_ 391, according to the recorded registered land suxvey thereo� Ramsey County, Minnesota; Uience North 36 degrees 48 minutes 16 seconds West, assumed bearing along the southwesterly line of said Tract B, a distance of 66.40 feet to the point of beginning, thence South 53 degees 25 minuies 37 seconds West 60.00 to the west right of way line of Cedar Sueet; thence North 36 degees 48 minutes 16 seconds West 22.00 feet along said line; thence North 53 degrees 25 minutes 37 seconds East 60.00 feet, to the eas[ right of way line of said Cedar Street; theuce South 36 degrees 48 minutes 16 seconds East 22.00 feet along said line to the point of beginning and there terminating.

Ir.S %;� - �7 �- 7 � � Date oa- 145 M aintaining and ideally, improving "a sense of place" is a central Principle of the SaintPau/on the MississippiDeve%pmentFramewo�k. Recent, and historic, interest in Cass GiiberYs eastem Capitol approach suggests a character that stresses long views, grand parks, squares and boulevards on which landmarks are placed and framed by the surrounding building fabric. This image befits the areas institutional character and would be a wonder�ul setting for the MPR expansion. We believe every effort should be made to preserve and enhance the visual character of the Fi�gerald Park precinct. A Cedar skyway will: • Block the view north along Cedar to the Capitol; ■ Remove MPR pedestrian traffic from the street; and ■ Lessen the incentive to make a truly year-round, weather protected street environment We have met with MPR and their architects and have agreed on a process to address these and other urban design issues. • We will meet in March to establish project goals addressing the public realm, neighborhood conte.xt, MPR's private development program, Design Center issues, and a discussion of the F�ameworkPrincipies. • Next, we will meet at HGA Architects to review and understand the MPR functional program and their need for a skyway over Cedar. • Following that session we will participate in several design work sessions to review, discuss and offer opinions on alternative design concepts explored by HGA/MPR. ■ The Design Center will present the MPR design to it's Adjunct Team for comment at one of the summer Adjunct Team Meetings. We hope that these discussions will lead to a mutually acceptable approach to connecting the MPR facilities in the Fiizgerafd Park Campus. Perhaps Cuftural Star grant resources can be used as an incentive to create a street-level system that connects MPR with Musictech, History Theatre etc. to the CBD. Thank you THE SAINT PAUL ON THE MISSISSIPPI DESIGN CENTER Timothy J. Gri�n Director �a-t�5 February 22, 2002 Deaz City Council Members, While the District Council has taken the position to support the Minnesota Public Radio expansion. The Community Council hopefixlly has made it clear to everyone that there are issues relating to pedestrian and vehiculaz access, public safety, and public skyway access which needs to be addressed in the final design. We also wish the payments "in-lieu-of' property ta�ces aze preserved to cover the City's out-of-pocket expenses created by properties needing city services. It is currently about $30,00�(year for 48� Cedar Street. In regazd to the possible skyway over Cedaz Street, (between the parking ramp and MPR), we strongly support the position that this skyway be open to the public. There has always been a city policy and we believe an ordinance requiring skyways to be accessible for public use. This project which will receive city funding, and will need an easement over a city street surely calls for public access.
