Gentlemen; For more than a decade I have made my home at 552 Portland Avenue (Lot 3, Portland Terrace) . One of the two trees proposed to be cut down is in my back yard. The other is upon the property of my next door neighbor, Mrs. C. William Plowman. Filed in opposition to the Preliminary Orders is a Petition signed in my presence by the owners of the five residences situated north of the proposed project. These same tive residences are a single building and constitute a row-house. They are sometimes called collectively the "Bookstaver House" , and are included within the published report of the Saint Paul City Planning Board entitled Historic St. Paul Buildin s. The report states the building " is ot a p easant and well-kept example of Cass Gilbert's . . . work. . . " I mention this to highlight the tradition and pride these people have in the condition and in the vintage of their homes. As a concomitant to the row-house design is a three foot wide sidewalk designed to provide access to the rear portions of the row-house, as well as the rear portions of the property adjacent and south. The sidewalk was dedicated to the public and under Section 2.01 (c) of the City Legislative Code it is a public alley. This sidewalk, constructed long ago, is designed of concrete slabs approximately two feet square. Until June of 1969 , it was service- able and in good condition. At that time the neighbor to the south (who I believe has originated this proposal) dismantled nearly fifteen feet of pavement and the conc�ete slabs are still leaning against his back fence. I am not aware whether he had a permit to do this. It now appears he wishes the City to repair this damage, to assess the cost to his neighbors and furthermore to require the destruction w . V . � and removal of two venerable elm trees. Each elm has some root growth upon and beneath the alley, but they are otherwise situated - entirely upon, and are, the property of Mrs. Plowman and myself. A forester employed by the City estimated to me these elms are from 60 to 80 years of age and are healthy. They cas� their shade upon our building, adding to the comfort of those living within it. They are large, stately and beautiful as anyone of you who would visit us could see for yourself. We who own these elms as well as all who can see them would be losers were they cut down to save a few inches of public alley. I understand this matter is vested in your discretion.

Gentlemen: For more thaz� a decade I have mad� my home at 552 Portland �venue (Lot 3, Portland Terrace) . One of the two trees proposed to be cut down is in my back yard. The other is u.pon the property of my next doox neighbnr, i�3xs. C. ti•�illiam Plowman. Filed in opposition to the P�:eliminary Orders is a Petit�.�n siqned in my presence by the ac��ners of the fa.ve residences situated north of the proposed project. These same five residences are a single buildiiig and constitute a row-hause. They are sometinles aalled collectivel.y the "Boakstaver House" , and are incluc�ed withxn the published report of the Saint Paul City Planning Board entitled Historic St. Paul Bui�.dings . The report sta�es the building " . . . is both a pleasant and ��ell-kept exampl� of Cass Gilbert' s work. . . " I mention this to highlight the tradition and pride these people have in the condition and in the vintage of their homes . As a cancomitant to the roc��-hause desiqn is a three foot wide sidewalk designed to provide access to the rear portions of the row-house, as well as the rear portions of the propezty adjacent and south. The sideG�alk was dedicated to the public and under Section 2.01 (c) of the City Legislativ� Coc�e it is a public alley. Th9,s side�Talk, cons�ructed lang ac�o, is desa.qned of concre�te slabs approximately two feet square. Until June of 1969 , it was service- able and in good conda.tion. A� that time the neighbor to the south (who I be].ieve has ori.ginated this p-roposal) dismantl.ed n�arly fifteen feet of pavement and the con.cr�te slabs a.re still leaning against hzs back fence. I am not aware whethei he had a permit to do this. It now appears he wishes the Citx t� re�ai.x this damag�, �o assess � the cos�. to ha.s neighbors and furthermare to r�qu�.re the des�ruction .� . j . . and removal of i�,�o venerable elm trees . Each elm has some root ' growth upan and beneath the alley, but they are otherwise situated entirely upon, and are, the property of Mrs. Plowman and myself. A forestex� eznployed by the City estiznatec� to me these elms are from 60 to 80 years of age and are hea?thy. �rhey cast their shade upon our building, adding to tne comfort of those living within it. Tney are large, stately and b�autiful as anyone of you wno would visit us could see for yourself. We who own these elms as well as all who can se� them would be losers were they cut down to save a fe�a inches of public alley. I understand this ma�ter is vested in your discr�tion.

As owners and users of the property designated opposite our respec- tive signatures, each of us are strongly of the view: 1. The sidewalk in the alley has been adequate and does not need resurfacing. 2.
