STATEMENT Or INTENT FOR THE PREPARATION OF A . �t��� MACALESTER CONIrNNITY PLAN � Traditionally, the City Planning Board of Saint Paul has been deeply conce"rned with the future well-being of the city's many neighborhoods and � communities. With the publication of one of its recent reports, A Concept: Planning for Saint Paul 's Communities and Neighborhoods (September, 1967) , . the Board adopted as policy its intention to provide direct planning as- sistance to all couununities and neighborhoods �vithin the City of Saint Paul. Obviously, for reasons of limitations on staff time and budget, , work on these "local" planning programs must be carried out over a period � of years and on the basis of logical, individual need or priority. Also, � the work required of the Planning Board staff is contingent upon the size and complexity of each community and, to a great degree, its organizations and peopie. Macalester College has been actively irivolved in the development of a ' long-range campus plan during the past several years. During the course of this work, it has become apparent that there are strong interrelationships between the College and the surrounding community. In order to prepare a sound plan for the future development of the campus proper, it will be necessary to integrate this work with the larger surrounding community. It soon became obvious that only through community-wide planning and cooperation � that a sound development plan - - agreeable to all concerned - - could be achieved. Over the past year, meetings have been held by the Vice-President for , Financial Affairs of riacalester College and the Director of Planning for the City of Saint Paul to discuss the Macalester Campus Plan and the � � -1- . . . . � . � . . planning program for the City as a whole. These meetings culminated in a request by Macalester College that the Planning Board initiate a commun- � ity planning program in this area of the City in cooperation with the Colleges and the Macalester Community. The presence of seven institutions � of higher learning, all located within the western portion of Saint Paul, extended the planning concept to include a much larger area of influence. The City Planning Board of Saint Paul will assume its responsibility for the development of a community planning program for the Macalester • Community. The end product of this program will be a Community Develop- ment Plan, fully integrated with those 'of the several colleges which will be detailed enough to establish public poliay. It is felt that through , • the coordination of resources of the Planning Board and the Colleges, a comprehensive plan can be developed with sufficient depth to serve as a realistic, active guide for future change and improvement. The study area and plan would be approached from two levels: 1. An Intensive (detailed) Stud Area, which would be bounded by Marshall on the north, Hamline on the east, Randolph on the south, - and Fairview on the west.. This area would receive close examination and a detailed, staged plan for improvement and change. 7 2. An Influence Study Area, which would be established to include all of the Saint Paul Colleges. This area would receive more generalized � planning and establish directions for joint ventures or programs � for the institutions as a group. • -2- ' . .� s • • • The program would be developed according to the outline below.

Consult- • ant A printed, bound report would be prepared by the Planning Board at the end of Phase 1�ao. The report- would contain appropriate graphics and text to explain the Plan and its staged implementation. It is proposed that a continuing program be started upon the completion of the 18-month planning period. It is highly possible that the planning . program would initiate an interest in further joint planning and development among the colleges and other groups or institutions. It will be necessary to have close liaison between the Macalester Community and the Planning Board as the program is implemented in the future. Changing future con- ' ditions are sure to necessitate adjustments in the Plan, and the Plan must be kept current to serve as a viable guiding document.
