Saint Paul River Bluff Acquisition and
Presernation Project
Report Prepared February 6, 1996
Public Hearing April 24, 1996
PROJECT
The acquisition of 47 parcels totalling 13.75 acres for open space.
The project aZ'ea is bounded by Lower Afton Road, Burlington Road,
Highwood Ave. and Highway 61.
PURPOSE
To preserve and enhance the scenic quality of Highway 61, the
Mississippi River and the community by preserving this highly
sensitive area from urban development. If the river bluff remains
in private ownership, it will become increasingly covered with
urban development and will become a scenic and environmental
liability. Increased erosion and run-off due to development will
have a negative impact on nearby Pig's Eye Lake and the Mississippi
River.
INITIATING ACTION
The Zoning Division turned down a request of a development plan for
a parcel in this area because the grade of the land was more than
180. In order to acquire the parcel and others in the area with the
grade of 18� or more. The City requested Funds for these
acquisitions, in a effort to prevent any legal action against the
City.
FUNDING
The project cost is $580,000 with $464,000 from the Federal
Government ISTEA Enhancement Program and $116,000 1996 CIB Funds.
The Real Estate Division of The Department of Finance and
Management Services will be acquiring the parcels for Open Space.
F'or further information please contact Peter White or Bob Novak at
266-8850.
Recommendation
The Real Estate Division feels the project is necessary and
worthwhile project and recommends approval of the project.
Report prepared by Bob Novak of the Real Estate Division.
