THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
OF THE ? � p � �
CITY OF ST. PAUL
INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION
•September 13, 1965
,
Hon. Milton Rosen .
Commissioner of Public Works
234 City Hall
.Dear Commissioner:
On February 18, 1965, forty-five residents surrounding the deep ravine
located between Euclid, Frank and Wakefield petitioned for filling of
this ravine with refuse.
Because burning was discontinued at our Pig's Eye Landfill, due to the
insistance by the Smoke Abatement committee that we were polluting the
air, it was necessary under the former agreement with the railroad com-
pany that demolition, wood or trees be burned if deposited on their pro-
perty, we had to stop the disposal of these materials in this area.
The thought then occured that, if the area bounded by Frank, Wakefield
and Euclid could be used for the disposal of these materials without
cost to our department that several factors could be resolved. „
�. �The improvement of the land for future use which
could increase the revenue of taxes on these pro-
perties. �
2, The elimination of a very dangerous condition
for neighborhood children and nearby residents.
3. The proper control of disposal of these materials
, within our eity limits.
4. The cooperation between our Department and the pro-
posed renewal of our Urban 'Renewal Program.
It was then necessary to contact all landowners in the ravine for per-
mission to fill their lands, plus asking them to provide liability insur-
ance at their own expense and having the City of Saint Paul as co-insured.
It was also provided through continuous contact with the owners that per-
mission be given the City of Saint Paul to charge fees for users of this
area in order to be self-sustaining.
To this point all owners have agreed to the conditions and agreements
and insurances are provided.
" " � Hon. Milton Rosen -

A "rough draft'� of an ordinance setting fees for disposal 'at this area of
demolition, trees and wood was presented to all known demolition contrac-
tors and tree trimmers for discussion at a meeting on July 21, 1965. A fac-
tor was brought up at this meeting regarding the proposed hours of operation
between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M, on Monday through Saturday would cause a
confliction of requests by the Department of Public Works.
The first condition was that in certain instances,� demolition must be done
at night and on Sundays through conditions as set forth by the Traffic Com-
mittee.
Secondly, our bureau through the proposed ��rough draft'� of the ordinance
would set the hours of opening between 8:00 A.M, and 5:00 P.M. Monday
through Saturday.
A general meeting of residents surrounding this ravine was held in the
Johnson Brothers parking lot at 7:30 P.M, on September 1, 1965, and I was
asked to attend for the purpose of answering questions as to why the delay
in filling the ravine.
I explained that the delay was mainly due to the rewording of property owners
agreements by the City Attorney's Office and that several conditions would
have to be straightened out between the City of Saint Paul, the general con-
tractors and the property owners.
Anticipating that questions pertaining to health and also that an explana-
tion be given regarding night hauling and Sunday hauling, I asked Mr. Robert
Peterson of the Traffic Division and Mr. Henry Streich of the Health Depart-
ment to attend this meeting with me. They most graciously accepted, and the
residents totaling approximately sixteen expressed their sentiments that night
hauling and Sunday hauling would not bother them; but that their main concern
was to have this ravine filled.
A special clause inserted into the proposed ordinance would give the Department
of Public Works the right to enter into agreements with demolition contractors
or tree trimmers for use of' the facility after the regular posted hours.
Through the excellent cooperation from Mr. Eugene Avery, City Engineer and Mr.
Jerry Connolly, Public Works Accountant, I am sure we can reach a satisfactory
solution as to charges for after hours hauling.
I would, therefore, strongly recommend that the proposed ordinance be present-
ed at the earliest possible opportunity. I am sure you .realize that this
would not only pertain to the location we are now contemplating but also cover
any and all new areas that we could procure in the future.
I hope the foregoing summary will give you a complete history of why this
area would be very acceptable to all and also that it will meet with your ap-
proval. �
I would be very glad to answer any other questions that you may have on this
subject. _ _
