March 7, 1956
Mr. Joseph Okoneski
City Clerk
Building
Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of the application of the Socony Mobile Oil Company
for a permit to install a new filling station on a triangular tract located
between Prosperity and Barclay. This property is described as all of lot 3
Block 1, Roger & Hendrick's Acre Lots 2 except the northerly 160' thereof
along Barclay. The zoning has been "Commercial" since 1922 when the Zoning
Ordinance was adopted. The site is now vacant and has a frontage of 174' along
Barclay and approximately 200' along Prosperity.
The applicant's plans dated January 13, 1956 meet existing standards and have
been approved by other municipal departments affected by this proposal.
There are single-family homes immediately to the north which face on Prosperity
which have their rear yards facing Barclay. There is a mixture of single-family
homes and vacant land in the surrounding area. Prosperity Heights School is
approximately 200' to the south on the southwest corner of Ivy and Prosperity.
Because of the single-family homes to the north there is a question as to whether
the residential building line applying to the property to the north also applies
to the filling station site. Because of the ambiguity of the situation, the
Building Department suggested that the Council establish a building line for the
property under consideration pursuant to the applicant's appeal. The applicant's
appeal to establish the necessary building lines incident to this proposal is
treated in a separate letter which accompanies this, report.
In consideration of the fact that the land has been zoned `commercial" since
1922 and the property immediately to the north is zoned "commercial" , the Zon-
ing Board recommends that this permit to establish a filling station be granted
contingent upon the Council acting favorably on the necessary appeals to establish
the building line incident to the applicant's proposal and in accordance with
plans received in the Planning Board office February 26, 1956.

The Council, City of Saint Paul
• Saint Paul, Minnesota
Re: File 13252
Gentlemen:
As chairman of the Safety Committee of the Prosperity Heights
P.T.A. , I am writing you concerning the application for a
permit to erect and operate a filling station on the northern
intersection of Barclay Street and Prosperity Avenue. This
matter will come before the Council for consideration on
Thursday, March 8, 1956.
The proposed filling station would be located across the
street from our school, at the intersection of three streets--
Barclay, Prosperity and Ivy. At best it is a dangerous inter-
section, or series of intersections, to cross. The addition
of in and out traffic from a filling station can only add to
the hazards of a triple intersection with a grade school on
one corner. Cars entering or leaving, no matter how carefully
driven, will mask the school police from the view of drivers
on Prosperity or Barclay until they are right on top of the
rOd flags. As there are no traffic lights on Prosperity, it
is generally traveled at the 30 mile limit.
Children going to school will, twice a day, accumulate right
at the filling station waiting for the school police to
escort them across the street. Thus they will be involved
in driveway traffic.
The fear has also been expressed that the necessary filling of
the gasoline tanks by tank trucks containing several hundred
to well over a thousand gallons of gasoline much of it high
test, presents a situation that could be frightful in case of
a flare-up. Those things do happen. It is felt that such
an operation, even with the best of safeguards, should not be
done where lines of small children are waiting to cross the
street or are, by necessity, always in the near vicinity.
With the installation of sidewalks on Prosperity Avenue and
other approaches to our school, very serious safety hazards
will be eliminated. We are all very appreciative of the far-
si 1ted _.action of the Council in ordering these improvements.
r^=
We .beliee this filling station, no matter how well operated,
is U. itself a hazard. We respectfully urge that the permit
be abnied.
Very truly yours,
Howard . to`n, Chairman
t' s Safety Committee

The Council, City of Saint Paul
Saint Paul, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
On March 8, 1956 an application for a permit to
erect a filling station on the northern intersection
of Barclay and Prosperity Avenues (File 13252) will
come before the Council for action.
The proposed structure will be across the street from
the new Prosperity Heights grade school, in an area
almost entirely composed of new residences.
The P.T.A. and the residents of this area are justly
proud of our new school. Prosperity Avenue is now
being graded into a fine street. The surroundings of
the school are now in keeping with the building and
grounds, as well as with the area of well kept new
homes that the school serves.
Our P.T.A. has discussed this matter at its' meeting
and feels strongly that the construction of a filling
station at the proposed location interferes with the
movement of children going to and from school, that
it detracts from the fine appearance of the school,
and that it detracts from the efficiency of operation
of the school by creating noise, turmoil and activity
in the immediate vicinity of the classrooms and play-
ground. We feel that this location is very inappro-
priate for a filling station.
We strongly urge that this permit be denied.

Yours very truly,

Saint Paul, Minnesota , ,*
My dear Mr. Mayor:
It was brought to the attention of the Parent-Teacher Association
of the Prosperity Heights Elementary School that the Socony Mobil Oil
Company, Inc. has petitioned for permission to construct a gasoline filling
station on the corner of Prosperity and Barclay. As you probably know, ,../,
this station would be directly across the street from the new Prosperity 4/ :.-eh,s.t
Heights Elementary School. ,
"
You probably also know that this is a corner where three streets
intersect - Prosperity, Barclay and Ivy - and is an extremely hazardous j/i4s-s 0
intersection. Crossing streets at this intersection will be complicated s'`
further and become even more dangerous when Prosperity Avenue has been (( i-3
repaired and the usual heavy flow of traffic is increased even more. j
For several years now, the Prosperity Heights PTA has been striv- ,
ing to obtain sidewalks on these streets so the school children may safely ( '' e'^4' '`,
go to and from school. Before sidewalks could be installed it was necessary � ` A man
pro. e.•
to lower the grade on Prosperity Avenue,and a considerable part of this / 6.i
work has been completed. It would appear that the installation of side- /1
walks will probably take place within the next year. The building of a i" .4 i's,
service station at this intersection which hundreds of small children must wl/ ' '/ /
cross daily would show a callous disregard for their safety. The situation Na
would be somewhat comparable to constructing a new school on Seven Corners
in Saint Paul and then being surprised after it was completed that the
school children would have difficulty going to and from school.
I urge you, the Councilmen of Saint Paul, and others directly
and indirectly related to this matter to vote against any action which
would result in the construction of a service station at this intersection.
The officials of Saint Paul, along with the school board, have done a
tremendous job with the funds available in providing educational facilities
for the children of Saint Paul. It would be ridiculous to jeopardize /
this program by willfully and intentionally placing traffic hazards, such
as the service station in this case, at the doorstep of one of our new � �'�°
schools. Many of the problems confronting you and the Council frequently
are there because somebody failed to plan properly, and you men are un-
fairly criticized. In this instance you have an opportunity to plan and
