ity of the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota, on February 5, 1952, and approved
by Resolution of the Common Council of the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota on
March 6, 1952, (Council File No. 159030)9 and amendments thereto adopted by
the Authority on February 20, 1953, and approved by the Common Council of
the City of City of Saint Paul, Minnesota on March 10, 1953 (Council File

ing changes:

B. PLANNING PROPOSALS
1. General
This Plan provides for the redevelopment of the Project
Area in accordance with the provisions of the Minnesota
Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act as amended. It
includes the acquisition of all property within the area,
site clearance, vacation and abandonment of some public
rights -of -way, the dedication and widening of other pub-
lic rights -of -way and the adjustments of street and util-
ity easements. It further provides for the consolidation
of certain existing blocks and parts of blocks into larger
areas, the replatting and rezoning of the land, and for
its disposition by sale, lease, dedication or exchange
under suitable safeguards, restrictions, covenants and
conditions. Various parcels are designated for public
and residential use. These are more specifically des-
cribed and delineated in the narrative below and in the
maps which constitute a part of this plan.
2. Specific Planning Proposals
a. Right -of -ways and Streets
(1) Major Streets and Highways - Portions of
three princi al transportation routes will
be built within the Project as indicated
on Map A, "Project Area Plan" and Map B,
"Street Adjustments Plan ".
(a) One is the street which is indicated
as entering the Project Area from
the west at Jackson Street and leav-
ing the Area to the northeast at
Fourteenth Street.
(b) The second major transportation fa-
cility to touch the Project is an
east -west and also north -south sec-
tion of the Federal Interstate High-
way System.
IWIM
(c) The third major transportation
facility improvement is Jackson
Street.
(2) Local Streets - A number of internal
street adjustments will be made to re-
duce traffic conflicts within the area
and with bordering streets while at the
same time providing adequate access to
all areas within the Project requiring
such access and to the vicinity of the
Project. 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

(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.

of Project land. When approved, these plans may be incorporated in contract agree-
ments and other sales documents. After the sale of the land, the Authority may re-
quire the developer to submit such plans, drawings, specifications or other infor-
mation as it may find necessary in order to determine that the Building Requirements
are being observed in the development of the parcels. Representatives of the Auth-

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Moved by Mir, Janes, seconded by ter. Wylie that the rules be suspended to
consider an item not on the Agenda, i.e. a request from the Saint Paul
Housing and Redevelopment Authority to approve a modification in the
Eastern Project Plan. This modification involves a change in the proposed
land use of selected parcel from "commercial" to "residential" because
this land will now be used for street improvement purposes. Motion passed4
Moved by Mr, .Tangs, seconded by Mr. Wylie to put the matter on the Agenda
and give it consideration. Motion passed unandmmously.
After a brief explanation by ter. Wieland it was moved by Mr, Janes,
seconded by Mr. Dorle that the Board concur in having this parcel revert
back to a. "residential" classification, that-the Planning Board of the
City of Saint Paul hereby approves modification No. 1, dated and adopted
May 159 19629 of the redevelopment plan for the Eastern Redevelopment
Project, UbR. Minn. 1 -1,.as revised November 229 1961. Motion passed
unanimously. A copy of the modification and the maps relating thereto
are attached and made a part of these minutes.
The request from the City Council to consider renaming Spruce Street to
79Schorr Avenue" was not considered due to lack of time.
