DEN 12 31 56
STATE OF MINNESOTA
CITY OF ST. PAUL
In the matter of partially opening,
widening and extending the Mississippi
River Boulevard Approach to the pro- OBJECTIONS OF NORTHERN
posed New Fort Snelling Bridge, by STATES POWER COMPANY
condemning and taking the following A CORPORATION, TO THE
described parcel of land: The West PROPOSED TAKING AND TO
100 ft. of Lot 31, Franklin Steele' s THE'AWARD- OF DAMAGES
Subdivision of Lot 2, Section 21,
Township 28 North, Range 23 West.
Northern States Power Company, a corporation, alleges
as follows:
I
Northern States Power Company (hereinafter sometimes
referred to as "the Company") is a corporation duly organized,
created and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the
State of Minnesota for the purposes, among others, of manu-
facturing, generating, transmitting and distributing electric
energy for light, heat, power and other purposes to the general
public, including residents of the City of St. Paul, Minnesota,
and is now transacting such business.
II
In the transaction of its business, Northern States
Power Company maintains and operates numerous and extensive
generating plants and transmission and distribution systems
for the generation, transmission and distribution of electric
energy which it supplies to the public . Through its trans-
mission system, the electric energy which is generated at the
various generating plants of the Company' s interconnected system
is made available to its distribution systems and thereby to the
public. In order to meet the public demands for electric power,
the Company has constructed steam electric generating plants
1
DEN 12 31 56
and substations, among other facilities, in various locations
throughout its system, including plants near Minneapolis and
St. Paul, Minnesota, and has added additional generating units
to existing facilities in and about the Cities of Minneapolis
and St. Paul. The Company's generating plants and substations
are connected by various existing and proposed transmission
lines to electric generating plants and substations throughout
the Company' s interconnected electric system.
III
That on or about February 26, 1955, for a valuable
consideration paid by Northern States Power Company, Fred F.
Glunz, Louise L. Glunz, Dorothy L. Derks, Elmer A. Derks, Ruth
S. Hempel, Erick Hempel, Betty L. Green, Paul Green, Donald C.
Peterson, Lorraine K. Peterson, Richard. L. Peterson and Helen
Peterson granted to the Company, in writing, the perpetual
right, privilege and authority to construct, operate and main-
tain its lines for the transmission of electric energy, including
the necessary steel towers, wires, guys, stubs and other fix-
tures, over, across and upon the following described real estate
in the County of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, to wit:
All that part of Lot Thirty One 31), Franklin
Steele ' s Subdivision of Lot Two 2), Section
Twenty One (21), Township Twenty Eight (28)
North, Range Twenty Three (23) West, described
as follows: Commencing at the Northwest corner
of said Lot Thirty One (31); thence running
Southerly along the West line of said lot to
Southwest corner thereof; thence East along
South line of said Lot Thirty One (31) to a
point where a line running parallel with said
Westerly line of said Lot Thirty One (31),
distant One Hundred (100) feet therefrom would
intersect South line of said Lot Thirty One
(31) ; thence Northerly along last described
line to the North line of said Lot Thirty One
(31) ; thence Westerly along said North line
of said Lot Thirty One (31), One Hundred (100)
feet to place of beginning, being a strip of
land One Hundred (100) feet in width along the
West boundary of said Lot Thirty One (31) .
The right of way to be Thirty (30) feet each
side of the following described centerline:
-2-
DEN 12 31 56
Said transmission line shall be constructed
on the following described center line:
Commencing at a point on the East boundary
which is Eleven Hundred Twenty (1120) feet,
more or less, South of the East-West quarter
line (center line of Norfolk Avenue) ; thence
Southwesterly (SWly) to a oint which is
Eleven Hundred Sixty (1160) feet, more or
less, South of above quarter line and Sixty
(60) feet, more or less, East of the West
property line; thence Southwesterly (SWly)
to the West boundary line at a point which
is Eleven Hundred Fifty (1150) feet, more
or less, South of above quarter line.
That the said grant of easement was filed for record
in the office of the Register of Deeds of Ramsey County, State
of Minnesota, on April 19, 1955, and was duly recorded in Book
1480 of Deeds at page 75 as Document No. 1363506. That the
Company is still the owner and holder of said easement, a true
and correct copy of which is hereto attached, marked Exhibit A.
IV
That in order to meet the public demands for electric
power and to utilize the electric energy which is generated by
the Company at its Black Dog generating plant located on the
Minnesota River south of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Company
has constructed an electric transmission line, operating at a
nominal voltage of 115,000 volts, from the Company' s Black Dog
generating plant to the Company' s Southtown substation located
at East 40th Street and Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The Company' s Southtown substation is in turn connected with the
Company's High Bridge generating plant in St. Paul, Minnesota,
by the Company's High Bridge-Southtown transmission line. The
Black Dog-Southtown and High Bridge-Southtown transmission lines
constitute vital and important segments in the Company's inter-
connected electric transmission system. In connection with the
construction of the said Black Dog-Southtown transmission line
and pursuant to the grant of easement hereinbefore mentioned,
the Company has constructed a structural steel tower and the
necessary wires, conductors, fixtures and appliances over, upon
-3-
DEN 12 31 56
•
and across the parcel of land hereinabove described in
paragraph III.
V
Unless the proposed taking herein is subject to the
aforesaid grant of easement to Northern States Power Company,
the Company objects to the taking herein on the ground that
such taking is unnecessary; that said taking is contrary to
law; that the land above described is already devoted to a prior
public use as hereinabove described; and that the taking of said
easement will seriously disrupt the furnishing of electric
energy to the general public, including the residents of the
City of St. Paul, Minnesota.
VI
Northern States Power Company further alleges that
unless the taking herein is subject to the aforesaid grant of
easement to the Company, and if said Company is or should be
required to remove, relocate or modify its transmission line
by the condemning authority herein or by any other governmental
agency, the Company will be damaged in an amount which is
estimated will be in excess of $30,000, and, therefore, objects
to the award of damages herein as reported by the Commissioner
of Finance on the ground that said award is totally inadequate
and contrary to law.
WHEREFORE, Northern States Power Company respectfully
petitions the Council of the City of St. Paul as follows:
1. That the taking of the land hereinabove described
be made subject to the said easement to Northern States Power
Company described in paragraph III above, or
2. That if the taking herein include the taking of
the said easement to Northern States Power Company, hereinabove
described, the final order or final decree herein shall expressly
-4-
DEN 12 31 56
provide that in the event that Northern States Power Company,
its successors or assigns, shall at any be required by the
condemning authority herein or any other governmental agency
to remove, relocate or modify the said transmission line herein-
above described, or any part thereof, as constructed and main-
tained over and upon the land hereinabove described, said
condemning authority shall be required to pay all costs of
such removal, relocation or modification, including all costs
and expenses incident to the obtaining of any other necessary
easements and rights-of-way required for such transmission
line, or
3. That if neither the provisions of paragraph 1 nor
2 above are acceptable to the said City Council, Northern States
Power Company be awarded the sum of $30,000 in damages.
Dated this 31st day of December, 1956.
Respectfully submitted,
NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY
