The Honorable Mayor and Members of
the City Cou.ncil
Re: Hockey Arena Site: Pleasant and St. Clair
Dear Sirs and Madaan:
The I,and Co�.i.ttee met on the request of the Ramsey County Board to release
certain tax-forfeited lands in the City of St. Paul described a.s follows:
(Except Avenue) Lots 17 and 18, Block 6, and all of I,ots 19, 20,
21 and 22, Block 6, A. Vance Brown's Subdivision of "Stinson, Brown
& Ramsey's" Addition to Saint Paul,
Without right of access and subject to Highway, and (except railroad
right of way), the south 2 of the east � of Block 6, Stinson, Brown
and Ramsey's addition to St. Paul,
Without right of access and subject to Hi�hway, and (except the east
100 feet), that part of the north 2 of the east ?, easterly of
Pleasant Avenue, and southwesterly of a line cosr�nencing at a point
on said easterly line of Pleasant Avenue, 125 feet southwesterly from
St. Clair Street, thence southeasterly at right angles 95 feet more or
less to the intersection of a line parallel to and 150 feet south of
said St. Clair Street, thence eas-t on said parallel line to the west
' line of east 100 feet therein excepted; in Block 6, Stinson, Brown
and Ramsey`s �,ddition to St. Pau1,
Without right of access and subject to Highway, and (except the north
183 feet), the east 100 feet of the north � of Block 6, Stinson, BroVm
and Ramsey's addition to St. Paul.
Subject land was originally withheld from sale at the request of the Depart-
ment of High�rays of the State of Minnesota. The State of Minnesota has
subsequently indicated that no more land would be needed in the area for the
completion of Highway No. 35E.
The City Planning Board of St. Paul raised the question of site size and
layout requirements and traffic generation characteristics. The Ramsey County
Recreation Facility Building Cozt�ni.ssion in its reco�nendati�on to the Ramsey
County Board indicated that the site t�ras adequate in size for the proposed
Arena.
The Department of Pu.blic Works recorrnnends the release subject to the stipula-
tion that no planned driveways be located closer to St. Clair Avenue than to
Arbor Street.
. r
Honorable Mayor and Mem�ers of
the City Council -2- June 15, 1971
There z�rere no other objections or co.mments from the other City Denartments.
The Land Committee therefore recommends the attached resolution be approved
as being in the best interests of the City of Saint Paul.
Ver,y truly yaurs,
