These adjustments are noted on Map B, "Street Adjustments ". (3) Lighting - Existing facilities and ease- ments for street lighting will be elimin- ated and new facilities and easements created to provide a standard of lighting suitable for the normal use of the reuse parcels. b. Zoning Plan The zoning classifications and plan proposed for the Project are shown on Map F, "Proposed Zoning Plan ". The proposed zoning is such that the arrangement of new uses will be compatible with the already planned uses within the project and the surrounding community. c. Regulations and Controls to be AGplied The purpose of these regulations and controls is to insure that the land uses will be harmonious; to pro- vide for the proper arrangements of buildings, open space and parking; to insure that the buildings are well designed and in harmony with the character of the entire project; and to prevent an adverse effect on the future development of the surrounding area. It is intended that these requirements supplement but not supplant official codes, ordinances and other legal controls of the City and State. (1) Land Use - The plan provides for the following land uses as indicated on Map A. "Project Area Plan "; Areas A -19 A -29 and A -3 containing 28.63 r W 3 acres shall be for alternative public, institutional or residential use, some of such uses being the fol- lowing: Public Use post office school street city hall public housing project library vehicle parking facility expressway park playground hospital Institutional Use scientific educational religious public health public welfare charitable hospital eleemosynary nursing homes Residential Use multi - family row house Other uses which are similar and compatible with those listed may be permitted only by approval of the Authority. These may include commercial activities of a limited nature designed primarily to serve only the land uses withih the Project Boundary. (2) Land Use (Commercial) - The plan provides for the allowable uses of a Commercial District as defined in the Zoning Code for the area of the plan desig- nated as Area "C" except uses which are predominant- ly related to City -wide retail sales. Retail activ- ities are limited to those that would serve princi- ply the uses within the immediate neighborhood. Al- ternative uses are permitted in accordance with (1) above. Area "B" of about 20.7 acres shall be for public use as in Area "A ". In this instance for use by the Interstate Highway System.

RELATIONSHIP OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN TO LOCAL OBJECTIVES 1. Relationship to the General Plan This revised Redevelopment Plan conforms to the General Plan of the City of Saint Paul as to land use, community facilities and transportation and circulation. It is coordinated with the City's public improvement program and with zoning and sub- division regulations. - 14 - The accepted City Plan for the Central Area of Saint Paul calls for development of the area State Capitol for Capitol grounds be the location of State Office Bi a State Governmental Center. The Project is situated slightly east Approach Area. immediately around the and approach. It is to aildings appropriate to Eastern Redevelopment of the existing Capitol Closing streets within the Project Area and development of the extension of University Avenue generally along the ex- isting Fifteenth Street right -of -way to Fourteenth Street, the widening of Jackson Street and the construction of the Interstate Highway are in accord with the transportation and circulation plan considerations for the Central Area of the City. 2. Relationship to Local Community Objectives This plan is in conformity with long standing local community objectives. It is part of a coordinated program for the re- moval of slums and blight and the renewal of the City's cen- tral area. The program for renewal of the central area in- cludes State and City land clearance for the Capitol Approach in addition to two Ferally aided Title I Redevelopment Pro- jects and the Mt. Airy Homes Public Housing Project, all pro- jects of the Authority. Specifically the Plan provides for the following: a. It provides for the clearance, replanning, recon- struction and modernization of a substandard area. b. It provides opportunity for the achievement of the Plan by returning cleared land to its best use. - 15 - c. It permits the benefits of nearby public im- provements including the Capitol Approach, the Interstate Highway and the Jackson Street im- provements and the extension of University Ave- nue to extend over a wide area. d. It contributes to the provision of a safe econ- omical and adequate street system in its vicinity. e. Through Land Use and Building Requirements, it raises the standard of protection of the public health, safety and welfare. f. It permits the planned use of the Project's `stra- tegic location, near the central business district and adjacent to the State Capitol and major trans- portation routes. g. It is in accord with and helps to carry out the Central Area Plan and'the Preliminary Land Use Flan, as prepared by the City Planning Board. D. SITE PREPARATION PLAN 1.

Fischer, Mr. Schell who was out of the City. and Mr. Massey who was out of the City. Also Present: Mr, Glen Murray, President Battle Creek Development Company Mr. Joseph Dillon, lawyer for Mr. Murray - James Hawks of the Midwest Planning 6 Research - Planner for Mr. Murray, Mr. Faricy - Corporation Counsel's office - Bill Chapman, Housing 6 Redevelopment Authority a Mss, Van Hoef, M.I.C., - Mr. Langland9 St. Paul Dispatch - Pioneer Press Mr, Cesnik, Mpls Star Tribune, a representative from League of Women Voters Messrs, Wieland and Teig of the Planning Staff. Minutes of the previous meeting were approved without reading as copies had been mailed to all members. Moved by Mr. McPartlin9 seconded by Mr. Cohen that the first item on the Agenda be consideration of the proposed plan of the Battle Creek. Develop - 'ment Company for portion of the old Workhouse Farm site. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Teig presented a brief history of the area stating in 1957 the Mayor and Council had requested the Planning board to make a study of the old Workhouse Farm site which included this area he stated through the co- operative efforts of the Public Works Departmnt, Plat Commission, and Planning Board streets were dedicated and 23 acres set aside for a Junior High School;.the area south of Battle Creek was put up for sale for low density housing, lots approximately 65' frontaga, 8,500 sq. ft. saes ;. 4 blocks were sold and are being developed by private individuals. The nor- thern part of this area , the unsold land, was platted, for lo•�J density residential use; replatting of this area bytthe proposed developers is now before the Plat Commission for consideration. This matter is informally before the Board because it involves land use. The developer proposes to have the existing streets vacated and the area replattea before submitting a petition for rezoning. Mr, Dillon briefly stated their purpose in being at the meeting was to get an ide of the feeling of the Planning Board toward their proposal to petition to rezone*to multiple - dwelling use and to change the height district t® District III which will permit high -rise apartment buildings. -1- r i h Mr. Hawks showed several renderings which included sketches of the pro- posed replatting,,site plans and drawings of the buildings. Site #1 in- cludes one 24 -stbIry high -rAe luxury apartment and four 16 -story buildings with parking ramp, pool, and 9 -hole short golf course. Site #2 is pro- posed to be developed with three 12- story, one 6- story, and one 4 -story apartment structure. He stated the density requirement was 1,000 sq. ft. of lot area per unit and that area #1 would have 1,160 sq. ft. of lot area per unit and a 20o setback; area #2 density 1,500 sq. ft. per unit, these are to be condominium apartments which type have been okayed by the F.H.A. The State Legislature has also approved legislation to permit this type of financing. Mr. Murray spoke of the advantages of owning one's individual apartment, how they would be financed, cost to be about $200 per month, that the vacancy rate would be negligent, and that each unit would have a garage and lawn service. In answer to question, Mr. Wieland stated the matter chiefly was one of land use and that the Land Use Report recently accepted by the Board indi- cated this for single- family use. Mr. Adam asked Mr. Teig if there was not some question about the land to the south containing a restrictive clause in the deed. Mr. Teig stated that there are restrictions concerning minimum width of lots and minimum lot area for the parcels sold in the old Work House Farm Area south of Battle Creek, However, as for these restrictions being applicable for the land north of Battle Creek, this was something the attorneys would have to iron out; he could not state whether or not these same restrictions applied to the area under consideration. Mrs. DeC,oster pointed out this was one of the last remaining undeveloped areas of Saint Paul with a good view and a ccess to the Downtown and that study should be made before making a decision on it. In answer to Mr. Slusser's request for a staff report, Mr. Adam advised as yet there was no staff report on it. Moved by Mr. Dorle, seconded by Mr. Gadler that the Planning Board informally approve the intended land -use plan for this area. Mr. Slusser moved to table the present motion and ask for a staff report to be brought to the next Board meeting. Motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Dorle's motion was then considered and the motion passed unanimously. There was additional discussion on it - that the motion was to give the pro- ponents an idea of what the Board was thinking so they could proceed with replatting and the request for rezoning. Mr. Adam asked Mr. Dorle to define what he meant by "informal" to which Mr. Dorle replied that the Board had heard what the developers had to say; had heard the presentation and have not turned it down. The .next item on the Agenda was a discussion of the Comprehensive revision of the Zoning Ordinance and consideration of the total work program in re- lation to it. Hr. Wieland stated that to properly revise the Zoning Ordinance,, it would taken t:wo or three years by the time all pe?,sons concerned had been con- -2- tatted, the work had been done, and the Ordinance drawn up and presented to the Council. He informed the Board that there were many decisions involved in preparing the map; that each community in the City was different and could not be handled as a "package." that there was insufficient staff to work on this to the exclusion of other wornk; that there were insufficient funds to hire additional staff; that Federal money had been allocated to do specific jobs such as the joint land -use transportation study and that these funds could be used for no other purpose than that for which they were allocated; and that the comprehensive plan is being prepared for the printer. In addition, work must be done on the coormunity renewal program application which is needed for the recertification of the Workable Pro- gram or all Urban Renewal activities, including Capital Centre, will cease. He pointed out the Midway Club had asked several tithes fdr F;study and had been told this was about to take place when the planner assigned to that study resigned. Another, difficulty is that planners over the country are not familiar with zoning and it is difficult to find someone on the staff other than the Director and Assistant Director who knots enough about zon- ing to prepare zoning revisions. Mr. Wieland also stated that Commissioner Loss had sent up a request to have the Planning Board be a clearing house and cc- ordinating agency for all projects going on in the City. The Corporation Counsel's office must have consideration in this matter also as they are the bureau who must interpret the laces. It was pointed out that the Zoning...Ordinar_ice was approximateiy­vi:'y ; *ii • old, had been a poor "Ordinance in the beginning,, was full of revisions. There: was considerable discussion as to the best method of-procedure, whether to revise the old ordinance, start over completely with a new one, or to patch. It was agreed that the Corporation Counsel's office be asked to assign one of their staff to work with the planning staff on this Ordinance during the summer when the courts were not in session as they would presumably be better able to give time to it. Mr. Wieland stated he had model ordinances which iaere concepts and that these could be built upon, but that each zoning ordinance in each city or town was diffferent as it had to be based upon the requirements of the com- munity. He stated he was the originator of this request that-the City Council pass•, resolution requesting the.Planning Board to begin working on the revision of the Zoning Code, Mr. Teig presented the rough guideline which the staff had tentatively drain up, and asked the Board how far they wished to go; for example, were they in favor of 8 residential districts, i.e. 3 single- family, dupleu, 4- multi- family residence districts; an-' RC district which could caanbine residential apartment with a limited business district; Cl. neighborhood shopping center; a regional shopping center, a separate district for the Downtown; a district combining general commercial and limited industrial; waterfront industrial; industrial park; limited industrial, general industrial, etc.. Should there be a parking distict; a conservation or• preservation district of marginal land,, lands of scenic value, or areas which required special protective pro- visions such as slopes, ravines, and water courses? 43- The concensus of the Board seemed to be this would be a good framework upon which to begin building; that all previous work done on zoning, recommendations, etc., should be gathered together, studied and discussed. Mr. Faricy stressed that he would be reluctant to see something presented to the City Council which would not stand up in court. Mr. Wieland stated he felt Board review of studies and recommendations was one point which held up progression or work. He cited the item of Board review of the Comprehensive Plan which was laid over from one month's agenda to the next for a period of about five months, He stated he would have ready, prior to the next meeting, the current status of studies; gather all work on zoning that has gone before; a statement of objectives and a tentative work program. Moved by Mr. Janes, seconded by Mr. McPartlin that in order to expedite this work, the matter be laid over to the next meeting at which time this will. be up for further discussion with the staff reports and previous work done,on zoning. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Adam appointed lit. Troy as Chairman, Mr. Haarstick and Mr. Whitcomb as a :ommittee to work with the staff on setting up a work program. Mr. Adam appointed Mr, .lanes as Chairman, all members and alternates of the Zoning Board to comprise a committee to work with the staff and discuss the progress on the revision of the Zoning Ordinance. This committee to convene 45 minutes prior to the regular zoning Board meetings. Mayor Vavoulis came into the meeting at this point. In answer to question, he stated the Council had voted unanimously to request the Planning Board to proceed immediately to up -date the zoning laws of the City of Saint Paul. He stated 80% of the Council troubles had to do with zoning matters. He stated when the revision was presented it would have to come before the Council in the form of a public hearing. He felt the Commissioners should be consulted beforehand; that it should be an automatic procedure to sup- port the Zoning Board and staff recommendations; that the citizens living in neighborhoods should know exactly what the conditions are when they move into the neighborhood and not think all they have to do is petition the Council to get conditions changed by rezoning. Mr. Slusser pointed out that soma communities did not refer zoning matters to the Council but rather to a Board of Appeals. Mr. Faricy suggested the Orinance might establish a Board of Appeals. Mr. Wieland pointed out that in some copm.uni.ties the Council heard only rezonings; a Board of Appeals took care of the other matters such�as variances, exceptions and appeals of the enforcing office and the Planning Board held a public hearing on amend- ments. Mayor Vavoulis pointed out certain studies were required to qualify for urban renewal such as public housing, and renewal projects; and if these were not forthcoming the City of Saint Paul would not get recertification from the Federal Government. In answer to ,qtr. Gadler's question, Mayor Vavoulis stated the Federal Government contributes $2.00 for every $1.00 -4- contributed by the City. He stated it Might be well t►) establish work' prior*ities; that the staff could not, run in 10 different directions at one time and that there were many demands upon them, Chairman Adam thanked Mayor Vavoulis for coming to the meeting and assured hin of Planning Board cooperation.
