To: The Mayor and Council of the City of Saint Paul
Re: Hearing on 307 North Dale Street
Gentlemen: ,
Based on statements made by Mayor Vavoulis which have appeared in the news-
paper and on other information which I ha.ve received, I firmly believe that the �
forthcomi.ng hearing is merely a formality to confirm the judgment already
rendered to require me to tear down my building at 307 North Dale Street.
However, before you rubber-stamp this judgment, I would like you to consider
the followi_ng:
1. In. order to obtain nearly two square blocks of land
on which to erect apartment rental units and for other purposes,
Redeemer Lutheran Church hired its own competent appraiser to
. appraise the properties the church wished to acquire. Many of the
parcels were subsequently purchased by the church at prices equal to
or in excess of the appraised figures. My property was appraised at
approximately $33,000.00 by the church appraiser, and I was told by
representatives of the church tha.t it was their wish and intention to buy
my property. I was at all times and remain willing to sell this prop-
erty to Redeemer Arms, Redeemer Lutheran Church or a.n.yone else. '
Reverend Langhans, however, asked me to donate my
property to his church on the grounds that I would then get my name in
the paper and also because he is part Jewish. These reasons are asinine.
Since I have refused to donate my property and have
acted in a similar manner as the other owners in the area, Reverend
Langhans ha.s made libelous and slanderous statements a.bout me personally
and about my builcling to botli the press a.nd to you. He complain.ed to the
Building and Health Department offi.cials until, under threat of prosecution,
I was forced to vacate the building and all the tena.nts in it from whom I
received a signed voluntary petition stating that they liked the place, liked
me and did not want to move out.
2. I offered to sell the property to Redeemer Arms for
$I7,000.00 which is about one-half of their own appraised figure. Reverend
La.nghans agreed to pay this figure if he could get the money reLeased from
the Federal Government. He wrote to Washington but was unable to get the
money because he had spent too much in acquiring the other property in the
area.
� -� .`'•_-•
.
.
-2-
3. The St. Paul Housing Authority has said they will take
the property and, as I understand it, they have already committed it to
Redeemer Arms. In any event, they have asked me not to improve the
building as this would raise the cost of their taking it. Redeemer Arms
has a�ked me the same thing for the past few years.
4. I now have an offer to sell the property for the purpose
of putting up a small grocery store; provided, the land is rezoned from
"C" Residence to Commercial. If Redeemer Arm.s really wants this
building down they will join in a petition to rezone my land so that I can
do something constructive with it and pay the back taxes.
My point is that for several years I ha.ve been in a dilemma caused by Reverend
Langhans a.n.d have sincerely tried to dispose of or improve this property. Until
this winter, I thought and was led to believe that Redeemer Arms would buy my
land; subsequently, it was to be taken by the Housing Authority a.nd I expected
that it would be taken by now. There has been no i.ncome for nearly a year a.nd
now, if my judgment is correct, you want me to incur further expense in tearing •
down this buildi.ng.
The party making the biggest complaint is responsible for the present situation
and, quite frankly, I have no alternative but to resist any order you give here
and to try every proper means to protect myself and property.
In view of the a.bove and based on what I believe is a just plea, I ask that you lay
this matter over until I ca.n get the corner rezoned and sold or until the Housing
Authority takes it.
Re spectfully,
,
