To the Honorable Mayor and Council ' '
of the City of Saint Paul -
� Et ,
Gentlemen: `
�
The City of Saint Pau1 recently completed construction ` �
of new fire station No. 6, located at 33 West Concord ,
Street. The engine company formerly occupying old
fise sta�tion No. 6 at 124 E. De1os Street has recently ' .
moved" from the old location to the newly constructed !
station.
�
i
The Department of Public Safety has made a study of the '
old station site and finds that it is to the best `
interests of the City that this site be disposed of. ; �
,
` I, therefore, recommend that the Committee on Lands be ' �
authorized to dispose of the subject surplus site
subject to the conditions set forth in the attached .
letter of Mr. Ames, dated April 13, 1966, said site ' �
being more fully described in the attached resolution. '

Dear Mr. Don�van :
This is to elaborate on our ' telephone conversation of last week
concerning the present, status of Fire Stations #1• and #6, as far -
as t�he Building Department is concerned.
� These properties were surveyed by this department in early 1963 and
i a recommendation was made that immediate steps be taken to vacate �^�-^-
� the buildings because they were considered sub-standard, unhealthy
� and in dangerous conditions . This recommendation was apparently in-
terpreted as a condemnati.on of the properties with the idea that they
i must be wrecked. However, this department ' s use of the word " con-
demnation" is that because of specific. defects in the building we
� may proceed to condemn it in order to have specified corrections made
� If it is determined that it is not practical to make specified cor-
t rection.s, the buildings are then wrecked. However, when the specified
corrections are made, the building could be restored to certain uses
and the requirements of the Building Code be met.
� . ..__ . . ._ .. _. _ . ....... . . ..._. .
' The following items are to be considered necessary in order to return
the buildings, formerly housiny stations #1 and #6, to some other us�.
These items would be considered those necessary to meet the minimum
standards . Specific occupancies could well demand that 'more correc- �
tions are made: , • . '
Fire Station #1 , located at 42� Main Street :
1.) Electrical service shoul.'d be rehab�litated as the p�resent service
consists of two 30-am� . main circuits, far below the minimum re-
• quirements for a building of this size .

Fire Station #1 (Continued) - -
2) There is a crack in the� first floor concrete slab across the i
main entrance doors. This crack appears to have been caused ' �
by the improper placement of reinforcing steel . It will be i
necessary that this section of the floor be re-built. ;, _
Fire Station #6, located at 12� E. Delos Street:
� - - -- .
' 1) The plumbing on the second floor is in very poor condition and -
� must ei.ther be repaired or removed. .
�
2) The second floor has �adly sagged toward the front of the ' +
building, probably caused by improper framing when an existing � '
� stairway was removed. It wil.l be necessar y that this section
of the floor be re-built. {
� ,
` 3) The pxoperty must have the raof leaks repaired.
I .
r -
4) The masonry parapet ��valls extending above the roof line must be
rebuilt as at the pr�sent tim� th�y are badly deteriorated and
ar.e not to be considered safe. -
r �
When these iteins have been corr�cted this department wouid give ap-
prov,al for limited occupancy , of the buildings . The second floor �
construction, originally designed for a dormitory use, is not strong �
enough to be used for warehouse floor loadings and would reauire ex-
tensive reinforcement before it can be put to any, but limitecl, use .
Other repairs and .c�rx�e�t�,o.r��._,�hat .min�t_ �?.�_..t�e�d�d.v��t�ld be determined
�� by an occupant, based on jNhat use he intended to put the building to . }

We hope that this information answers the questions that you have had
� and if we can be of any mor� assistance, Would you please contact
