To; Rosa,lie L. Butler, Council President

From: J. Ldilliam Donovan, Valuation Engineer
Date: Augu.st 21, 1972
Subject: Improvement of the alley in Block 2, Birmingham`s 2nd Addition
from Kennard Street to Fla,ndrau Street
Fursuant to flzrther review and investigation of the subject proposed im-
provement along with the Public Works Committee of the City Council and
the Department o�' Public Works, this off`ice recoirunends:
l. That the slope damages on this improvement be borne by the
City of St. Paul to a maxi.mum amount of $3,000.00. S aid
total amount to be pa,id from the Local Improvement Fund.
2. That a differential assessment rate be applied. The rate
to the abutting properties on the north side be 50°� higher
than the rate on the south side.
The grading of this a11ey creates considerable datnage primarily to one
property o�,mer where the house is seic back neaxly to the alleyline. This
requires �he need for retaining walls and other slope protection to provide
lateral support for the house in this area. The addition of the slope
damages to the construction costs, in this instance, creates a very high
a,ssessment rate. Also, the narrow �+0 foot lots on the north side of the a11ey
do not provide adequate area for front drives or garages, whereas the proper-
ties on the south, generally 60 feet or wider in width have adequate room
and have provi.ded for drives and garages from the front.
Should the City Council adopt the reco�nendations above the financing for
this improvement and estimated assessment rates should be as follows:
Tota1 Esti.mated Expenditures �11,675.00
Est. Slope Dam.ages (City Aid) 2,500.00
Less City Aid for Longside Property 600.00
Total Assessment �,575•�
Estim.ated assessment ra�es:
Nor�h side properties $9•33 per assessable foot
South side properties �6.22 " " "

,- Dear Sir�: -
In regard To proposal of alley fran Kennard Street's to
Flandrau Street's.
We think it both unfair and unjust to put us property
owners through this expens•. We the people on the south si�le,
aan not use the alley at all, this means we have excess to our
garage's via the street. The contractor here is trying to get an
alley in so he can build more homes on !�O ft lot's, had he not
Ibean so greedy he could have built the homes on larger lot sites
& had them come via street also. He wants us to pay for his
construction, as far as we can see.
z
��y �'� Most people on the street our on social secuity or widowed
etc. Mr. Beach, having 3ust lost his wife through leukemia, has
g surmountable cancer l�lls.
We find out also that the alley was engineered without a
sewer or cath basin� We already have water in our basements
due to the dirt & fill left on grated.
�his alley wou�d in no way improve our property or enhance
it's beautification in anyway. It would be a burden to us moeny
wise� and to no use to us what so ever. We were accessed last
ye�r for a sewer in this area.
I think the construction Company should pay for this alley
if they think they ned� it. Mr Lentsch when purchasing property
knew this also.
Could we obtain a Lawyer to help our neighborhood or give
us some legal advice. Thought we would inquire as to someome
f roan the city. We have all appeared bef or� the �ity Council
but I think we need additional help.
Sincerely
Mrs Patricia Erickson

Dear Mrs Butler:
I Am writing for help to clear up this horrible
situation that is trYi.ng to be faisted on the people
in our neighborhood.
As you well know, we are all t,a.xpayers and also
voter's and have a right to our convictions as well.
May I make it very clear that all of uG that are
living on York Avenue, do not need or will consent to
this alley. Most of these homes have been built by con-
tractors who took into account, the lay of the land and
built accordin�;ly with garages that have access to the
street. Now we have a contractor who is not or has not
considered the need's of the people. He has not utilized
the land properly, and I beleive he is �he one who should
pay for this alley being he has proposed one.
This Contractor has no interest in beauty or a safe
area surrounding these homes. Proposing this alley is a
sure way of promoti}�g unsafe place for our children and
also making wav for theivery, as one would be able to
park a car easily without one seeing it.
I beleive that contractor's should not be allowed
to come in and build homes and then let the rest of the
people who have no need for an alley, pick up the tab and
get awav with a nice little bundle, leaving other people
with an expense they can neither afford or want.
We were Accessed last year for a sewer, and now this
year they want to access us for an alley, it is unfair and
unjust, especially when we will not be usin� it or wanting
it.
Sincerely '
