To: Commissioner Rosalie L. Butler
From: J. William Donovan, Valuation Engineer
Date: May 19, 1972
Subject: Petition of Allan A. Goulet and Darnell M. Goulet for the vacation
of the southwesterly fifteen feet of Otto Avenue abutting the
northeasterly property lines of Lots 13 and 14, Block 18, West End.
Hearing - May 25, 1972
The petition seeks the vacation of that part of Otto Avenue shown shaded red
on the attached plan for the sole purpose of constructing another single
stall garage adjacent to the existing garage sometime in the future.
The staff of the St. Paul Planning Board has reviewed this matter and notes
that vacating this 15 feet of Otto Avenue would virtually commit the City to
not opening it in the future since 45 feet is insufficient for developed
right-of-way. They note that there is a very steep slope between Lexington
Avenue and Edgcumbe Road and it may not be feasible to develop the site for
vehicular traffic but it may be well to retain enough width for a pedestrian
access.
Northern States Power Company reports that they have a 12" gas main located
on Otto Avenue and at the west end of the area to be vacated, it is located
at 11 feet north of the south line of Otto Avenue. They request that their
interests be protected.
The Department of Public Works reports that Otto Avenue is a 60 foot wide
dedicated unimproved public street and the portion proposed to be vacated is
15 feet wide by 190 feet long (2,850 square feet) shown shaded red on the
attached plan. There are other owners of lots along Otto Avenue between
Lexington Parkway South and Montcalm Place. The development of these lots
could require use of Otto Avenue. Therefore, the staff of the Department of
Public Works recommends that the proposed vacation of a portion of Otto Avenue
be denied or an alternative proposal would be to vacate all of Otto Avenue
between Montcalm Place and Lexington Parkway South.
In view of the foregoing, I recommend that the vacation be denied. Should the
City Council wish to grant the vacation, the following terms and conditions are
applicable.
J
Commissioner Rosalie L. Butler Page 2 May 19, 1972
1. That the description of the vacated area read as follows:
31)
Vacate the southwesterlyeet of Otto Avenue abutting
the northeasterly property lines of Lots 13 and 14, Block
18, West End.
2. That the vacation be subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 228 of the Legislative Code, as amended.
3. That a specific easement be retained to protect the interests of
Northern States Power Company.
Igo ta
4. That the petitioner pay to the City the sum of4754.O0 as com-
pensation for the vacation.
5. That the petitioner provide the City with a bond in the amount
of $10,000.00.

Hearing - May 25, 1972
The petition seeks the vacation of that part of Otto Avenue shown shaded red
on the attached plan for the sole purpose of constructing another single
stall garage adjacent to the existing garage sometime in the future.
The staff of the St. Paul Planning Board has reviewed this matter and notes
that vacating this 15 feet of Otto Avenue would virtually commit the City to
not opening it in the future since 45 feet is insufficient for developed
right-of-way. They note that there is a very steep slope between Lexington
Avenue and Edgcumbe Road and it may not be feasible to develop the site for
vehicular traffic but it may be well to retain enough width for a pedestrian
access.
Korthern States Power Company reports that they have a 12" gas main located.
on Otto Avenue and at the west end of the area to be vacated, it is located
at 11 feet north of the south line of Otto Avenue. They request that their
interests be rrotected.
The Department of Ptablic Works reports that Otto Avenue is a 60 foot wide
•
dedicated unimproved public street and the portion proposed to be vacated is
15 feet wide by 190 feet long (2,850 square feet) shown shaded red on the
attached plan. There are other owners of lots along Otto Avenue between
Lexington Parkway South and Montcalm Place. The development of these lots
could require use of Otto Averse. Therefore, the staff of the Department of
Public Works recommends that the proposed vacation of a portion of Otto Avenue
be denied or an alternative proposal would be to vacate all of Otto Avenue
between Montcalm Place and. Lexington Parkway South.
In view of the foregoing, I recommend that the vacation be denied. Should the
City Council wish to grant the vacation, the following terms and conditions are
applicable.

286 City Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
To: Commissioner Rosalie L. Llltler
From: J. William Donovan, Valuation Engineer
Date: May 19, 1972
Subject: Petition of Allan A. Goulet and Darnell M. Goulet for the vacation
of the southwesterly fifteen feet of Otto Avenue abutting the
northeasterly property lines of Lots 13 and 14, Block 18, West End.
•
Hearing - May 25, 1972
The petition seeks the vacation of that part of Otto Avenue shown shaded red
on the attached plan for the sole purpose of constructing another single
stall garage adjacent to the existing garage sometime in the future.
The staff of the St. Paul Planning Board has reviewed this matter and notes
that vacating this 15 feet of Otto Avenue would virtually commit the City to
not opening it in the future since 45 feet is insufficient for developed
right-of-way. They note that there is a very steep slope between Lexington
Avenue and Edgcumbe load and it may not be feasible to develop the site for
vehicular traffic but it may be well to retain enough width for a pedestrian
access.
Korthern States Power Company reports that they have a 12" gas main located
on Otto Avenue and at the west and of the area to be vacated, it is located
at 11 feet north of the south line of Otto Avenue. They request that their
interests be protected .
The Department of Palic Works reports that Otto Avenue is a 60 foot wide
•
dedicated unimproved public street and the portion proposed to be vacated is
15 feet wide by 190 feet long (2,850 square feet) shown shaded red on the
attached plan. There are other owners of lots along Otto Avenue between
Lexington Parkway South and Montcalm Place. The development of these lots
could require use of Otto Avenue. Therefore, the staff of the Department of
Public Works recommends that the proposed vacation of a portion of Otto Avenue
be denied or an alternative proposal would be to vacate all of Otto Avenue
between Montcalm Place and Lexington Parkway South.
In view of the foregoing, I recommend that the vacation be denied. Should the
City Council wish to grant the vacation, the following terms and conditions are
applicable.
Commissioner Rosalie L. Butler Page 2 May 19, 1972
1. That the description of the vacated area read as follows:
Vacate the southwesterly 15 feet of Otto Avenue abutting
the northeasterly pl'operty lines of Lots 13 and 14, Block
18, West End.
2. That the vacation be subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 228 of the Lejislative Code, as amended.
3. That a specific easement be retained to protect the interests of
Northern States Power Company.
4. That the petitioner pay to the City the sum of $750.00 as com-
pensation for the vacation.
5. That the petitioner provide the City with a bond in the amount
of $10,000.00.
