Dear Sir:
OF --SAINT PAUL
SAINT PAUL 7, MINNISOTA
August 5, 1959
This is in the "matter of the application of the MinnesotA
Mining and Manufacturing Company for a permit to install
an oversize driveway of 60 feet on property located on the
northeast corner of Case Avenue and Hazel Street. The
legal description is the east one =half of the northwest
quarter of Section 26, Township 29, Range 22, lying southerly
of the Chicago, St.Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway. The
zoning is Light Industrial and has been since the adoption
of the Ordinance in 1922. A public bearing is not required.
There is presently a driveway at the intersection of Hazel
Street and Case Avenue which serves a large trucking terminal
and warehouse on this property. The applicant proposes to
discontinue this driveway and install a 60 foot driveway
approximately 120 feet north of the north rigbt -of -way line
of Case Avenue. West and across Hazel Street is a single -
family residence which fronts on Case Avenue; north and east
adjoining is the property which will be served by this driveway;
south and across Case Avenue is a single - family residence which
fronts on Hazel Street.
The plans indicate that this driveway will be installed in
accordance with the requirements of the Department of Public
Works. Field investigation discloses that the proposed
driveway will be a very definite improvement over the exist-
ing means of ingress and egress to the terminal.
In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning
recommends the granting of this permit to install an over-
sized driveway of 60 feet on the above described property
in accordance with plans approved July 16, 1959.
Sincerely,

To The Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Saint Paul, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
This letter of transmittal is in support of the attached applicaon r �'
for a driveway use permit. We respectfully request permisskon to
relocate and reconstruct our existing 60 ft. wide gravel suuaced G 7`
driveway, which now runs diagonally into the corner of Case AyenuJf-
and Hazel Street.
We propose that our existing black- topped truck yard be ex�end6d to
the west as a 60 ft. wide driveway exiting onto Hazel Stree" :The
proposed location places the south edge of the driveway 60 Teet north N
of the north edge of the Case Avenue right -of -way. The north ed&
of the drive would therefore be 120 feet from the Case Avenue right -
of -way.
Advantages of this proposal are as follow: -
1. Eliminate the hazard of the present diagonal exit.
It is difficult for drivers leaving the yard by present
exit to look back over left shoulder to see traffic coming
west on Case Avenue.
Drivers leaving the yard often speed nearly straight out Irr,�.�
into the intersection, whereas the proposed driveway will s O
force reduced speed resulting from a 900 turn onto Hazel. �''d��
(We also recommend a stop sign at Case for southbound Hazel 79
traffic.)
2. We eliminate the complaints of neighbors concerning the dust �so4.9
raised from the gravel surface. (This surface has since been
oiled as a temporary expedient.)
3. Improve the drainage in the entire area. The gravel surface
immediately adjacent to the two streets is lower than the

improved street surface and also lower than the black - topped
portion of our truck yard. Run -off water collects in this
area rather than into either our private storm drain or the
City catch basins.
It is necessary that the driveway be 60 feet wide at the point it would
join Hazel Street. We have conducted experiments with 50 foot semi-
trailers exiting from the north or right side of the proposed driveway
and find that they can easily turn onto Hazel, pull parallel to the curb
and completely clear the opposing traffic lane before reaching a point
15 to 20 feet from the Case right -of -way. We also find that semi - trailers
turning into the driveway from Hazel require a considerable radius to
make the turn. In order that the turn start from the right side of Hazel
(east side), it requires additional driveway widths to complete the turn
without obstructing (a) south bound traffic on Hazel and (b) exiting
traffic from the driveway. Our records indicate an average of 90 trailers
and trucks per day using this driveway plus a number of automobiles. This
high level of traffic requires simultaneous two directional flow through
the driveway.
The new black- topping would be graded and pitched to drain a major portion
of water run -off into our own catch basin. The existing exit would be
blocked off, graded ups and seeded.
Immediate neighbors are in favor of this plan both as to dust control and
as to truck traffic control. Attached are prints showing existing and
proposed drives. Also attached is an aerial photograph for quick orien-
tation. If possible, I would like the photograph returned when your file
is closed.
Very truly yours,
