REDA is requesting the City vacate its public right of way on this parcel. Because the parcel is small and odd-shaped, REDA, who owns the parcels next to this one, feels the best way to utilize this area is to maYimize contiguous land for building. This site has been vacant and deteriorating for a number of years. REDA would pay a$1200 fee for this transaction. Otherwise, there are no financial implications. This will require a public hearing because the City is disposing of a public right of way. It will be on the agenda June 18�'. This proposal seems reasonable, I recommend signing.

Our intention is to redevelop the site so that it is a productive asset for the District Del Sol commercial comdor. We intend to demolish the existing building on the site, which has been vacant and deteriorating for two decades. Our concept for site redevelopment is construction of a new 10-13,000 square foot commercial retail space, occupied by a g store and restaurant. In order to redevelop the site, we are working to acquire the mazimum amount of buildable land along Cesar Chavez between Robert Street and Congress 5t. To accomplish this goal, we are requesting that the St. Paul City Council grant a vacation of the right o£ way and release of easements on a portion of Congress Street (Congress Parcel), as outlined on the attached boundary certificate. The redevelopment site is a challenging one; there are bluffs along its south side that significantly reduce options for building shape and location. Acquisition of the Cangress Parcel would increase the amount of buildable land on the site and enable us to pursue a building with strong presence on the comer of Cesar Chavez and Congress Streets. REDA has also negotiated with surrounding property owners and secured options to purchase portions of Lots 5 and 6 and the entire Lot 7, which are reflected in the attached boundary certificate. Our intention is to combine Parcels SA, 6A, and 6B; Lot 7; and the vacated right of way with the site we currently own: Lots 10, 11, and 12. The assembled site would be re-zoned to either a B2 ar TN2 zoning and assigned a new pin from Ramsey County. REDA is excited and hopeful about our concept for this site. We hope you will share in our enthusiasm by ganting our request. Please let me know if you require additional information or documentation.
