Mr. Harry E. Marshall
City Clerk
City if Saint Paul
Dear r. Marshall :
On November 14th, the Council gave final approval to an
Ordin n.ce amending the Kellogg Mall height restriction. In
going through material on my desk, I discovered that the
covering letter from me to the Mayor dated October 25th,
which was submitted to the Mayor with this ordinance , had
been inadvertently brought back by me from the Council
meeting at which it was introduced.
In order to provide a full record, I, would recommend
that he letter of October 25th, together with this letter,
be inserted in the file with the ordinance involved.
Sincerely,

Mayor T omas R. Byrne
CJity ofi Saint Paul
Dear Mayor Byrne�:
� II defending the City against a lawsuit in U. S. District
Court c�.allenging the constitutionality of the Kellogg Mall height
restriction ordinance, our office discovered _that the ordinance
in question applies not only to the area between Wabasha and
Robert Streets , which is popularly felt to constitute the "Mall, "
but to properties located east of Robert Street now occupied by
the Uniied States Post Office and by Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk, and Co .
ITl�e properties in que stion, because of topographic a,nd other
circums�a,n.ces , do in fact have access to Kellogg Boulevard and
thus do not present the fire hazard and Shepard Road traffic con-
gestion problems which justify the application of the ordinance
to the �roperties located between Wabasha and Robert Streets .
IF rthermore , examination of the minutes of the Council for
Septemb�r 3, 1964, the date on which the resolution was adopted
orderin this ordinance to be drafted, discloses that a representa-
tive of�FOK was specifically told the ordinance would not affect
that firm' s properties , and this appears to have been the intent
and und �rstanding of the Council throughout the proceedings .
�
I In view of the lack of police power justification for appli-
cation of this ordinance to the properties east of Robert Street,
arid the relatively clear indication that the Council was operating
under a �nistaken notion as to the geographical extent of this
ordinance at the time of its adoption, I suggest that the ordinance
at this �time be corrected so as to accurately reflect the Council ' s
iritentions in the matter.
IFo this purpose I have prepared an amendatory ordinance
which is attached. In my opinion, this amendment would be in '
tY�e natu e of the correction of a manifest error, and no consents
of abutt 'ng property owners need be obtained.
