In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wifl be made, lead water services in the right of way wili be repiaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. This project area is generally bounded by Fairview Avenue on the west, Taylor Avenue on the north, Pascal Street on the east, and Minnehaha Avenue on the south (see attached map). In addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Fairview Avenue between Minnehaha and Pierce Butler will be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Fairview are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS Some of the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of the streets have concrete curb, and the remainder of the streets have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 7.3 m and 12.2 m(approximately 24' and 40'), several streets without curbs have widened through use over the years. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. Englewood from Sne4ling to Pascal has the lantern sty{e lights Fairview Avenue is an oiled street with some curb, generally 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing street lighting on Fairview is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Fairview between Minnehaha and Pierce Butler is allowed on both sides of the street. In 1997, the average daily traffic on Fairview was 3100 vehicles. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the following oiled streets with the construction of new bituminous surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutier, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards landscaped with sod and trees. In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners. (The preiiminary ��-�o�� proposed street widths, in meters, are shown in parenthesis. 9.6 m is approximately 32'.) TAYLOR AVENUE - WHEELER STREET TO SNELLING AVENUE (9.6 m) HEWITT AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET (9.6 m) HUBBARD AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE (9.6 m) ENGLEWOOD AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET (9.6 m) WHEELER STREET- ENGLEWOOD AVENUE TO TAYLOR AVENUE (9.6 m) YOUNG STREET - TAYLOR AVENUE NORTH TO THE END (9.6 m) CHARLOTTE STREET - HEWITT AVENUE NORTH TO THE END (9.6 m) FRY STREET - MINNEHAHA AVENUE NORTH TO THE END (9.6 m) PASCAL STREET - MINNEHAHA AVENUE TO TAYLOR AVENUE (9.6 m) FAIRVIEW AVENUE - MINNEHAHA AVENUE TO PIERCE BUTLER (9.6m) Fairview Avenue will be reconstructed as an MSA route. Public Works is proposing to reconstruct the street at the existing width of 32' or 9.6 m(0.6 m- 3.3 m- 3.3 m- 2.4 m), with parking on one side. Other options are: 7.8m (26 feet) wide with no parking, 11.4m (38 feet) wide with parking on both sides, or request a variance. This meets current MSA standards. No new traffic signal locations are planned. Decisions regarding the finai street widths wili be made keeping in mind the right-of-way widths, existing street widths, any relevant neighborhood issues, and the impact on boulevard trees. New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facilitate construction. The following streets will also have a lantern style street lighting system installed as part of this project. TAYLOR AVENUE - WHEELER STREET TO SNELLING AVENUE HEWITT AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET HUBBARD AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE ENGLEWOOD AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE WHEELER STREET- ENGLEWOOD AVENUE TO TAYLOR AVENUE YOUNG STREET - TAYLOR AVENUE NORTH TO THE END CHARLOTTE STREET - HEWIT7 AVENUE NORTH TO THE END FRY STREET - MINNEHAHA AVENUE NORTH TO THE END PASCAL STREE7 - MINNEHAHA AVENUE TO TAYLOR AVENUE FAIRVIEW AVENUE - MINNEHAHA AVENUE TO PIERCE BUTLER ALTERNATES To do nothing would be inconsistent with the City's commitment to improve existing oiled streets. POSITIVE BENEFITS Generai improvement of the public right-of-way wifl enhance and add quaiity to the 2 ��-�� neighborhood. The newly rebuilt roadways wiil improve drivability of the neighborhood, and continue the City's efforts to improve the street system in Saint Paul. Street oiling in this neighborhood will be eliminated. Lantern style lighting wiil enhance neighborhood safety and esthetics. ADVERSE EFFECTS Normal problems associated with construction such as noise, dust, reduced access to the neighborhood, and generai disruption will be present. EFFECTS ON TREES Street widths will be selected to minimize the impact on trees. New trees wiil be planted as part of the boulevard restoration. TfME SCHEDULE The project wili begin in the spring of 1999 and will be completed by late fall of 1999. There will be further restrictions on the amount of time work is done on individual segments of streets.

Name Address Telephone � �7 �8 - �� Request for Lantern-Styte Street Lights on A[dine Street Once upon a time (up to 1983), Aldine St. between Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce Butler Route had lantem-style lighting. Then came the sewer separation project which resulfed in that portion of Aldine St. getiing paved. At that fime, the lanterns were arbitrar+ly replaced with benY straws by the City. The residents were not given any options to have more attractive lighting instalied. In the late 1980s, the City of St. Paul adopted a lighting standard that specified lantern-style lighting on all residential streets. Since then, oider style iighting fixtures are replaced on all streets as they are paved. The Hewitt/Aldine Street Paving and lighting Project scheduled for construction beginning in May 1999 is fhe subject of fhis pub(ic hearing. The projecf area boundaries are Minnehaha Ave. to the south, Fairview Ave. to the west, Pascal Ave. to the east, and Pierce Butler Route to the north. Aidine St. between Minnehaha Ave, and Pierce Butler Route is completely within the project boundaries. However, Aldine St. was paved in 1983 and so is not included with this project. This atso means that Aldine St. won't get new lighting without a contribution from residents in the form of assessments. I contacted Mike Eggum at Public Works to ask how much it will cost to provide lantern-style lighting for this portion of Aldine St. He said the entire project will cost $66,20Q. The residential assessment worics out to $22 per foot of frontage. 1 was prepared to contact residents to determine if there was enough interest to have the lanterns installed for this price. Imagine my surprise when, a couple of days before Thanksgiving, I received a Public Nearing Notice proposing an assessment for paving and lighting of Aldine St. in the amounts of $24.80 per foot paving and $4.39 per foot for lighting. This cost for lighting was far less than the price quoted by Public Works of $22 per foot. I called the 266-8850 number listed on my assessment notice and the man I spoke with said that if the City Councii woutd vote to inciude Aldine St. in the offacial groject area, the price per foot would be $4.39. I arranged a meeting for Aldine residents on Thursday, December 3. At that meeting i presented petitions to Aidine residents and to people who live on cross streets where Aldine is their side street. The f+rst petit+on is from property owners requesting the City Council to vote to include Aldine St. in the project area so they can get their lighting installed at $4.39 per foot. The second petition is from property owners who live on the corners to get their approvai of the project with the understanding that they would not be assessed since they are aiready paying for the paving and lighting in front of their homes. Several people from Aldine St. attended the meeting and signed the petitions, � � lD�� I thert went door-to-door to obtain more signatures. I have contacted about fiaif of the property owners on Aldine in person, as well as several of the owners of comer properties. Only two peopie are opposed to this project, one a property owner and one a comer resident. Everyone else wants to see the lighting changed to the City Standard lantern-styte Iights. Peopie who have iived on Aldine since before 1983 still remember when their lantems were removed and they want their lantems back. It makes sense to irtstall these lights now for se�eraf reasons. • Lantern-style lights are the City standard • It is more cost effective to do the work while the construction crew has everything else tom up in the neighborhood • it is consistent with the third principie for City Deveiopment, tnvest in the Public Realm, as stated in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "Streets, sidewalks, parks, ..., are the stage sets for the public life of the city. As connecting routes, these places contribute to a sense of community and attract investment." • It is consistent with Objective 5.1 in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streets and public places." • it is consistent with Strafegy One in Chapter 4, Public Life and Space, of the Hamline Midway Community Plan, Harness the Residential Street Paving Initiative to Improve Neighborhood Streets • The majority of the property owners on Aldine Street want them I have the petitions with me today for your consideration. I have provided a copy of both petitions in this packet along with copies of relevant documents. I respectfuliy ask the Cify Council of the City of St. Paul to allow the residents of Aldine Street to get back their lantern-style lightirtg at an affordable price by voting to include Aldine Street in the Hewitt/Aldine Street Paving Project.

Buildings should make a contribution to their New Louisiana Cafe: Selby and Dale neighborhood and the public rea{m. For example, Lioyd's Auto: Grand and Chatsworth neighborhood commercial buildings should help to make Metro State University city sidewalks into good places for pedestrians. Lawson Software 7. B��ild on exi ting strPnPths, The positive impact of the Selby is Iearning from Grand city's urban development successes can be increased by Artspace Loft conversions extending and replicating them. Target investment dollars where positive change is undenvay. 8. Preserva and enhanca heritag�rP�urcec. Saint Paul Irvine Park/Uppertown nghd. has a rich legacy of buildings, landscapes and Dayton's Bluff Historic District monuments that define a city rooted in local history. Twin Cities Bungalow Club (Figure N on page 32 shows existing, designated historic City Hail/Courthouse renovation districts.) 12 a �g ��3 � � _� � This is not to suggest that there is one mold for city neighborhoods. There are many physical forms for good neighborhoods in Saint Paui, for example: � • Saint Anthony Park: Most like the "pure village" model with a small commercial center and well-defined neighborhood boundaries. • Macalester Groveland: Smali commercial centers scattered at almost � every intersection of collector streets_ • Highland Park: One large shopping district that is a hybrid of pedestrian and automobile site planning. � • Battle Creek: SunRay Shopping Center and Suburban Avenue together make an even larger automobile-scaled center for a post-World War II neighborhood. As mentioned in the previous section on downtown, Saint Paul has a few large, cleared sites where new urban villages may be built. But it is even more important for the city to use traditional neighborhood development concepts for protecting and reinforcing the strengths of the city's existing neighborhoods. Objective 5.1 Urban Villages: A Theme with Variations Po/icies: 5.1.1 The City, neighborhood organizations, developers and realtors should use the urban village principles listed below, which are condensed from the Charter of the Congress for the New Urbanism, for assessing neighborhoods and promoting the advantages of city living. • Good neighbarhoods are compact and pedestrian-friendly. • Good neighborhoods have a mixture of Iand uses. • Good neighborhoods have a broad range of housing types. • Good neighborhoods are designed to support mass transit with appropriate land uses and densities within walking distance ef public transportation. • Good neighbarhoods have commercial, civic, and institutional activity embedded, not isolated in remote, single-use complexes. • Good neighborhoods have schools within walking and short bicycling distance for most children. • Good neighborhoods have a range of park facilities, from tot- lots to village greens to ballfields to community gardens. (Large parks and conservation areas serve as boundaries between . neighborhoods.) • Good neighborhoods are safe and secure. • In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streeYs and public piaces.

Hamline Midway Communify Plan - ' :Chaptar ' ` : =_ Public Lifa & Space =- _ Vision Together, Hamline Midway residents will build a sense of community throuah shared lives and shared space. Recognizable centers will be used by the community and feel part of the neighborhood. Community development here will foster a sense of place; respect local ecology, history and existing shuctures; and sensitively intea ate new structures into the communiiy's fabric. Paths between public gathering spaces will become more attractrve and viable space and will themselves be a"space" where neighbors meet. The community will foster public life by unproving transportation options that bring people toaether such as walking, biking and public transit. Stratea es Strateo� One: HA.I2NESS THE I2ESIDENTIAL STREET PAVING IlVITIATIVE TO IMI'ROVE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS Description Neighborhood safety, aesthetics, and environmental standards can be improved through residential street paving, which the city is progra*n**�;ng for approximately half of Hamline Midway during the next decade. The Hamline Midway community should set general goals and guidelines for residential paving, and residents in each annual paving area should meet together and with dty staff to consider innovations and modifications of the standard paving design. Rationale The city's residential street paving initiative represents the largest known expenditure of public funds in the neighborhood in the next decade. The paving will happen with or without neighborhood partidpation and leadership. We must hamess this opporhuuty to get street improvements and changes we want and need. Furthermore, the street paving activities present a golden opportunity to encourage landscaping, building, bicycle and pedestrian accessibility and other improvements. Implementafion Activities 1. Conduct backb ound research on paving alternatives. See the Saint Paul Transportation Policy Plan as an example. Also, review the completed pavina project for the Saint Anthony Park neighborhood, and other paving projects suggested by St. Paui Public Works and Plaxuiing and Economic Development. 2. Develop preferred options and produce a smaIl handbook of altematives to a de dedsions by block b oups. DRAFf ........................ ........................� Y ............................................ Sfrate Two Pubiic Life & Spa� �� 3. Make sure that each block a oup is aware a year ahead of time when pati is scheduled in their azea and some community leaders aze prepared to work together as soon as the Public Works Dept. concenes the first neighborhood meeting in the project area. 4. Each block o oup works out a street desia and paving plan within the community's guidelines. 5. Encourage block groups to link other improvements like landscaping, repladng lead water pipes and housing improvements to the paving project. 6 Desia�ns aze developed in autumn with construction taking place the folloceing summer. Needed resources • Neiohborhood leadership • Organizing and staff time • Mone�- for actual improvements (most will come Erom the Capital Improcement Budget) Potential Partners and Resource Providers • Hamline Midway Coalifion • Affected block clubs • St. Paul Plannutg and Economic Development • St. Paul Public Works • St. Paul Capital Improvement Budget • Properiy assessments IMPROVE RESIDENTIAL GREEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING Description Iveighborhood aesthetics, sense of piace and environment can be improced through enhanced landscaping and gardening in Hamline Midway: Ihe wmmunity will encotuage educational efforts and prob ams to faciiitate appropriate landscape designs and installations for residential property, including boulevazds. Any projects undertaken as part of this strategy will encourage environmentally sustainable and beneficial design and practices: However, the neighborhood rec aonizes the wide cariety of tasEes in landscaping and encourages a variety of approaches. Rationale Homes wiEh trees, shrubs and flowers help provide a sense of stability, well-being and serenity. WeIl c3esigned landscaping can help provide a sense of place which is an important aspect of community livability. Sustainable landscapes lead to healthier air, land and water. Implementation Activities This stratery is envisioned as an ongoing program composed of a number of projects to improve private green space in the neighborhood: DRAFT................................................� , 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 il 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 14 oRi�iNA� Council File # l�� Ordinance # Green Sheet # Presented By Referred To RESOLUTION OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA i � Committee: Date WHEREAS, the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protecrian (LIEP) has notified the public and the tasicab industry that there are a number of taxicab licenses available in the City of Saint Paul; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has received applicarions for fifty four (54) taacicab licenses by the pre- established deadline of November 6, 1999; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has evaluated the applications received according to the criteria contained in Chapter 376 of the Saint Paul Legislarive Code, paragraphs Q8 through 10; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has presented its recommendations and its rarionale for the approval of nine new licenses; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the recommendations and concurs therein, now therefore be it RESOLVED, that upon the recommendation of the Mayor, the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby approve the issuance of taxicab licenses to the following applicants: Gedion Adeda-(five licenses) Airport & Airline Taxi-(four licenses) Requested by Department of: Office of License.

If the owner fails to compiy with the order, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. Chuck Votel reported this is a three story, muiti-unit building. It was condemned in December 1995. In December 1996, Code Enforcement issued an order to abate a nuisance building. It was not taken further. Last October, an amended order was sent to abate a nuisance building. The City has issued nine summary abatement notices to remove refuse from the yard including fumiture and vehicles. The reai estate taxes and vacant building registration fees are paid. The estimated market value is $ I 10,000. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair is $30,000. The cost to demolish is $18,000 to $20 Harold Edstrom appeared and stated he is working with John Choi, legal counsel for Arrigoni. Arrigoni would like to buy the building. They are in the process of negotiating a purchase agreement. Gerry Strathman asked if this is a historic buiiding. Mr. Votel responded the building is in Dayton's Bluff, which is designated as a historic azea, therefore, the building should be repaired under the historic guidelines for the area. John Choi, representing V. K. Arrigoni, Inc., arrived and stated Arrigoni intends to turn the facility into transitional housing for chemically dependent women. The details have not been negotiated yet. Mr. Choi has been trying to contact the seller. The document has not heen finalized. Keith Pederson, owner, arrivad. Gerry Strathman braught him up to date as to what has been discussed so far. Mr. Pederson stated he wanted to correct some of the errors. A code compliance inspeciion was completed January 1997. Returning the property to certificate of occupancy compliance to be used as an apartment building does not require any building permits, therefore, no bond is needed. This information is per the building department. However, one item on the list requires an electrical permit. Gerry Strathman stated he would like to know when this matter will come to closure. Keith Federson responded he is entertaining a purchase agreement. There are coniingencies with various City licensing issues. John Choi responded the purchase agreement could be signed by next week. Once signed, a zoning application will have to be submitted because re-zoning may be involved. This may take a while. ��-(�� MINtJTES OF TI� LEGISLA'I'NE HEARING OF 12-1-98 Page 2 Gerry Strathman stated the building seems to be secure. Chuck Votel agreed. Gerry Sttathman asked Bob Connor did he have any information about this building. Mr. Connor responded he is surprised about the lack of information here concerning the inspection on the property. The inspection was several pages long showing many conecuons that needed to be made. Keith Pederson responded Mr. Connor is refening to the inspection done November 1996, which had 231 items on it. When tenants are asked to leave, they do not clean. There are 9 apartments. The inspector found the kitchen floor was soiled, toilet seat cracked, kitchen counter top soiled, eta This went on for each apartment so that there are 9 soiled kitchen floors, 9 soiled bathrooms, etc. This November 19961ist no longer applies; once the code compliance inspection has been made, it takes precedent over any previous inspections. Also, Mr. Pederson has wimesses and the inspector's admission of breaking into the building. Mr. Pederson stated the code compliance inspection was done in January 1997. There were 36 items listed. They are minor items such as provide a copy of the fire alarm inspection, provide glass breaking devices for fire extinguishers, repair some broken doors, etc. Mr. Pederson plans to remove the plumbing and eliminate the men and womens restrooms that have never been used during his ownership. He has been on the property every week. The snow is shoveled; the grass is cut. A dumpster is on the property for people who dump refuse. Minor repairs have been done to the building. The purchase agreement should happen within 120 days. If the client does not follow through with the purchase agreement, Mr. Pederson will make the repairs to re-occupy the building. It is an overreaction to demolish it. Gerry Strathman recommended laying over this matter to the January 19, 1999, I.egislative Hearing. This will give the owner time to see what will happen witb the proposed purchase. Once that is known, the owner can lay out his plans for the building.

When the City adopted adopted the Lower Dayton's B1uff Sma11 Area Plan on July 19, 1996, it rezoned this property to RT-2 (townhouse). The property was grand£athered in because it was an existing use.

In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. Th+s project area is generaliy bounded by Snelling Avenue on the west, St. C{air Avenue on the north, Hamline Avenue on the east, and Randolph Avenue on the south (see attached map). ln addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Jefferson Avenue between Snelling - and Hamline wil� be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Jefferson are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS All the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of the streets have concrete curb, although there are some streets that have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 9.2 m and 9.6 m(approximately 30' and 32'), but several streets without curbs have widened through use over the years. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. There are severai streets intersecting Si. Clair that have an old lantern around the corner on the cross street. These lights on the cross streets will be removed and replaced by the new lantern lighting system. Any bent straw lights on the streets to be reconstructed wiil also be removed and replaced by the new lantern lighting system. Jefferson Avenue is an oiled street with severa{ b{ocks of concrete curb, generalty 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing streei lighting on Jefferson is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Jefferson between Sneiling and Hamline is allowed only on the south side. As of May 1998, the average daily traffic on Jefferson was 3275 vehicles. The intersections of Jefferson and Hamline, and Jefferson and Snelling are controlled by traffic signals. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the following oiled streets with the construction of new bituminous 1 q� surtaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards iandscaped with sod and trees. 1n addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wili be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of properry owners. (The preliminary proposed street widths, in meters, are shown in parenthesis. 9.6 m is approximately 32'.)

Public Works is proposing to reconstruct the street at the existing width of 32' or 9.6 m(0.6 m- 3.3 m- 3.3 m- 2.4 m), maintaining the existing parking restrictions. This meets current MSA standards. No new traffic signaf iocations are planned. Decisions regarding the final street widths will be made keeping in mind the right-of-way widths, existing street widths, any relevant neighborhood issues, and the impact on boulevard trees. New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facilitate construction. The following streets will also have a lantern style street Vighting system installed as part of this project. � JAMES AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET PALACE AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO BRIMHALL STREET JULIET AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET WELLESLEY AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET STANFORD AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE BERKELEY AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET BRIMHALL STREET - ST.

In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wili be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections wiil be made at the request of property owners. This project area is generally bounded by Snelling Avenue on the west, St. Clair Avenue on the north, Hamline Avenue on the east, and Randolph Avenue on the south (see attached map). In addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Jefferson Avenue between Sneiling and Hamline will be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Jefferson are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS All the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of ihe streets have concrete curb, although there are some streets that have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 9.2 m and 9.6 m(approximately 30' and 32'), but several streets without curbs have widened ihrough use over the years. The street surfaces are generalfy in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. There are several streets intersecting St. Clair that have an old lantern around the comer on the cross street. These lights on the cross streets will be removed and replaced by the new lantern lighting system. Any bent straw lights on the streets to be reconstructed will also be removed and replaced by the new lantem lighting system. Jefferson Avenue is an oiled street with several blocks of concrete curb, generally 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing street lighting on Jefferson is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Jefferson between Snelling and Hamline is aliowed only on the south side. As of May 1998, the average daily traffic on Jefferson was 3275 vehicles. The intersections of Jefferson and Hamline, and Jefferson and Snelling are controiled by traffic signais. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the foilowing oiled streets with the construction of new bituminous 1 c{ �- l 0 9 a--- surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards landscaped with sod and trees. In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wiil be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners.

Request foc Lantern-Style Street L'+ghts on Aldine Street Once upon a time (up to 1983), Aldine St. befinreen Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce Butler Route had lantem-styie lighting. Then came the sewer separation project which resulted in that portion of Aldine St. getting paved. At that time, the Ianterns were arbitrarily replaced with bent sfraws by the City. The residents were not given any options to have more attractive ligh6ng installed. In the late 198�s, fhe Cifij of St. Pau! adopted a lighting standard that specified lantern-style lighting on all residential streets. Since then, older style lighting fixtures are replaced on all streets as they are paved. The HewittlAldine Street Paving and Lighting Project scheduled for construction beginning in May 1999 is the subject of this public hearing. The project area boundaries are Minnehaha Ave. to the south, Fairview Ave. to the west, Pascal Ave. to the east, and Pierce Butler Route to the north. Aldine St. between Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce But(er Route is completely within the project boundaries. However, Aldine St. was paved in 1983 and so is not inciuded with this project. This aiso means that Aldine St. won't get new lighting without a contribution from residents in the form of assessments. I contacted Mike Eggum at Public Works to ask how much it will cost to provide lantern-style lighting for this portion of Aldine St. He said the entire project wili cost $66,200. The residential assessment works out to $22 per foot of frontage. I was prepared to contact residenfs to determine if there was enough interest to have the lanterns installed for this price. lmagine my surprise when, a couple of days before Thanksgiving, 1 received a Public Hearing Notice proposing an assessment for paving and lighting of Aldine St. in the amounts of $24.80 per foot paving and $4.39 per foot for lighting. This cost for lighting was far less than the price quoted by Public Works of $22 per foot. I called the 266-8850 number listed on my assessment notice and the man l spoke with said that if the City Council woutd vote to include Aldine St. in the official �roject area, the price per foot wouid be $4.39. I arranged a meeting for Aldine residents on Thursday, December 3. At that meeting I presented petitions to Aldine residents and to peopie who live on cross streets where Aldine is their side street. The first petition is from property owners requesting the City Council to vote to include Aldine St. in the project area so they can get their lighting installed at $4.39 per foot. The second petition is from property owners who live on the corners to get their approval of the project with the understanding that they would not be assessed since they are already paying for the paving and lighting in ftont of their homes. Several peopie from Aldine St. attended tfie meeting and signed the petitions. � � l�� I then went door-to-door to obtain more signatures. I have contacted about half of the property owners on Aldine in person, as weil as several of the owners of comer properties. Only two people are opposed to this project, one a properly owner and one a comer resident. Everyone else wants to see the lighting changed to the City Standard lantem-siyfe [ights. People who have lived on Aldine since before 1983 still remember when their lantems were removed and they want their lantems back. It makes sense to install these lights now for several reasons. . Lantern-style lights are the City standard • It is more cost effective to do the work while the construction crew has everything else tom up in the neighborhood • it is consistent with the third principie for City Development, Invest in the Pubiic Reaim, as stated in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "Streets, sidewalks, parks, ..., are the stage sets for the pubiic life of the city. As connecting routes, these places contribute to a sense of community and attract investment.° • it is consistent with Objective 5.1 in the Draft City Land Use Pian which states, "In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streets and public places." • it is consistent with Strategy One in Chapter 4, Public Life and Space, of the Hamline Midway Community Plan, Harness the Residentiat Street Paving initiative to Improve Neighborhood Streets • The majority of the property owners on Aidine Street want them I have the petitions with me today for your consideration. i have provided a copy of both petitions in this packet along with copies of re4evant documents. { respectFully ask the City Council of the Ci#y of St. Paul to ailow the residents of Aldine Street to get back their lantern-style lighting at an affordable price by voting to include Aldine Street in the HewittlAldine Street Paving Project.

There are many physical forms for good neighborhoods in Saint Paul, for example: � • Saint Anthony Park: Most like the "pure village" model with a small commercial center and well-defined neighborhood boundaries. • Macalester Groveland: Small commercial centers scattered at almost � every intersection of collector streets. • Highland Park: One large shopping district that is a hybrid of pedestrian and automobile site pianning. � • Battie Creek: SunRay Shopping Center and Suburban Avenue together make an even larger automobile-scaled center for a post-World War II neighborhood. As mentioned in the previous section on downtown, Saint Paul has a few large, cleared sites where new usban vi0ages may be built.

Objective 5.1 Urban Villages: A Theme with Variations Po/icie% 5.1.1 The City, neighborhood organizations, developers and realtors should use the urban village principles listed below, which are condensed from the Charter of if�e Congress for the New Urbanism, for assessing neighborhoods and promoting the advantages of city living. • Good neighborhoods are compact and pedestrian-friendly. • Good neighborhoods have a mixture of land uses. • Good neighborhoods have a broad range of housing types. • Good neighborhoods are designed to support mass transit with appropriate land uses and densities within walking distance of pub�ic transportation. • Good neighbarhoods have commercial, civic, and institutional activity embedded, not isolated in remote, single-use complexes. • Good neighborhoods have schools within walking and short bicycting distance for most children. • Good neighborhoods have a range of park facilities, from tot- lots to village greens to ballfields to community gardens. (Large parks and conservation areas serve as boundaries between . neighborhoods.} • Good neighborhoods are safe and secure. • In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physicaNy define the streets and public pfaces.

Recognizable centers will be used by the community and feel part of the neighborhood. Community development here wiil foster a sense of place; respect local ecology, history and existing struciures; and sensitively integrate new structures into the community's fabric. Paths between public gathering spaces will become more attractive and viable space and will themselves be a"space" where neighbors meet. The community will foster public life by improving transportation options that bring people together such as walking, biking and public transit. Stratea es Strnte One: HARNgSS THE RESIDENTIAL STIZEET PAVING INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS Description Neighborhood safety, aesthetics, and environmental standards can be improved through residential street paving, which the dty is prograrruning for approximately half of Hamline Midway during the next decade. The Hamline Midway community should set general goals and d delines for residential paving, and residents in each annual paving area should meet together and with city staff to consider innovations and modifications of the standard paving design. Rationale The city's residential street paving initiative represents the larbest known expenditure oE public funds in the neighborhood in the next decade. The paving will happen with or without neighborhood participation and leadership. We must hamess this opportunity to get si=eet improvements and changes we want and need. Furthermore, the street paving activities present a golden opporhuuty to encourage landscaping, building, bicycle and pedestrian accessibility and other improvements. Implemenfation Activities 1. Conduct backa ound research on paving altematives. See the Saint Paul Transportation Policy Plan as an example. Also, review the completed paving project for the Saint Anthony Pazk neighborhood, and other paving projects suggested by St. Paul Public Works and Pianning and Economic Development. 2. Develop preferred options and produce a small handbook of alternatives to b de decisions by block groups. DRAFT................................................� Y ........................................... Strate Two Public Life & Spa� �� 3. Make sure that each block group is aware a year ahead of time when pacinj is scheduled in their azea and some community leaders are prepared to work together as soon as the Public Works Dept. concenes the first neighborhood meefing in the project azea. 4. Each block o oup works out a street desia and paving plan �vithin the community's guidelines. 5- Encourage block groups to link other improvements like landscaping, repladng lead water pipes and housing improvements to the paving project. 5 Des a�ns aze developed in autumn with construction takina place the folloc,�ing summer.

The community will encourage educational efforts and proa ams to facilitate appropriate landscape desibQns and installations for residential property, including boulevards. Any projects undertaken as part of this strategy will encourage environmentally sustainable and beneficial design and practices' However, the neighborhood rec b�nizes the wide cariety of tastes in landscaping and encourages a variety of approaches. Rafionale Homes with trees, shruUs and flowers help provide a sense of stability, well-being and serenity. Well designed landscaping can help provide a sense of place which is an important aspect of community livability. Sustainable landscapes lead to healthier air, land and water.

In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wifl be made, lead water services in the right of way wili be repiaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. This project area is generally bounded by Fairview Avenue on the west, Taylor Avenue on the north, Pascal Street on the east, and Minnehaha Avenue on the south (see attached map). In addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Fairview Avenue between Minnehaha and Pierce Butler will be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Fairview are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS Some of the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of the streets have concrete curb, and the remainder of the streets have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 7.3 m and 12.2 m(approximately 24' and 40'), several streets without curbs have widened through use over the years. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. Englewood from Sne4ling to Pascal has the lantern sty{e lights Fairview Avenue is an oiled street with some curb, generally 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing street lighting on Fairview is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Fairview between Minnehaha and Pierce Butler is allowed on both sides of the street. In 1997, the average daily traffic on Fairview was 3100 vehicles. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the following oiled streets with the construction of new bituminous surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutier, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards landscaped with sod and trees. In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners. (The preiiminary ��-�o�� proposed street widths, in meters, are shown in parenthesis. 9.6 m is approximately 32'.)

Public Works is proposing to reconstruct the street at the existing width of 32' or 9.6 m(0.6 m- 3.3 m- 3.3 m- 2.4 m), with parking on one side. Other options are: 7.8m (26 feet) wide with no parking, 11.4m (38 feet) wide with parking on both sides, or request a variance. This meets current MSA standards. No new traffic signal locations are planned. Decisions regarding the finai street widths wili be made keeping in mind the right-of-way widths, existing street widths, any relevant neighborhood issues, and the impact on boulevard trees. New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facilitate construction. The following streets will also have a lantern style street lighting system installed as part of this project.

POSITIVE BENEFITS Generai improvement of the public right-of-way wifl enhance and add quaiity to the 2 ��-�� neighborhood. The newly rebuilt roadways wiil improve drivability of the neighborhood, and continue the City's efforts to improve the street system in Saint Paul. Street oiling in this neighborhood will be eliminated. Lantern style lighting wiil enhance neighborhood safety and esthetics. ADVERSE EFFECTS Normal problems associated with construction such as noise, dust, reduced access to the neighborhood, and generai disruption will be present. EFFECTS ON TREES Street widths will be selected to minimize the impact on trees. New trees wiil be planted as part of the boulevard restoration. TfME SCHEDULE The project wili begin in the spring of 1999 and will be completed by late fall of 1999. There will be further restrictions on the amount of time work is done on individual segments of streets.

Name Address Telephone � �7 �8 - �� Request for Lantern-Styte Street Lights on A[dine Street Once upon a time (up to 1983), Aldine St. between Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce Butler Route had lantem-style lighting. Then came the sewer separation project which resulfed in that portion of Aldine St. getiing paved. At that fime, the lanterns were arbitrar+ly replaced with benY straws by the City. The residents were not given any options to have more attractive lighting instalied. In the late 1980s, the City of St. Paul adopted a lighting standard that specified lantern-style lighting on all residential streets. Since then, oider style iighting fixtures are replaced on all streets as they are paved. The Hewitt/Aldine Street Paving and lighting Project scheduled for construction beginning in May 1999 is fhe subject of fhis pub(ic hearing. The projecf area boundaries are Minnehaha Ave. to the south, Fairview Ave. to the west, Pascal Ave. to the east, and Pierce Butler Route to the north. Aidine St. between Minnehaha Ave, and Pierce Butler Route is completely within the project boundaries. However, Aldine St. was paved in 1983 and so is not included with this project. This atso means that Aldine St. won't get new lighting without a contribution from residents in the form of assessments. I contacted Mike Eggum at Public Works to ask how much it will cost to provide lantern-style lighting for this portion of Aldine St. He said the entire project will cost $66,20Q. The residential assessment worics out to $22 per foot of frontage. 1 was prepared to contact residents to determine if there was enough interest to have the lanterns installed for this price. Imagine my surprise when, a couple of days before Thanksgiving, I received a Public Nearing Notice proposing an assessment for paving and lighting of Aldine St. in the amounts of $24.80 per foot paving and $4.39 per foot for lighting. This cost for lighting was far less than the price quoted by Public Works of $22 per foot. I called the 266-8850 number listed on my assessment notice and the man I spoke with said that if the City Councii woutd vote to inciude Aldine St. in the offacial groject area, the price per foot would be $4.39. I arranged a meeting for Aldine residents on Thursday, December 3. At that meeting i presented petitions to Aidine residents and to people who live on cross streets where Aldine is their side street. The f+rst petit+on is from property owners requesting the City Council to vote to include Aldine St. in the project area so they can get their lighting installed at $4.39 per foot. The second petition is from property owners who live on the corners to get their approvai of the project with the understanding that they would not be assessed since they are aiready paying for the paving and lighting in front of their homes. Several people from Aldine St. attended the meeting and signed the petitions, � � lD�� I thert went door-to-door to obtain more signatures. I have contacted about fiaif of the property owners on Aldine in person, as well as several of the owners of comer properties. Only two peopie are opposed to this project, one a property owner and one a comer resident. Everyone else wants to see the lighting changed to the City Standard lantern-styte Iights. Peopie who have iived on Aldine since before 1983 still remember when their lantems were removed and they want their lantems back. It makes sense to irtstall these lights now for se�eraf reasons. • Lantern-style lights are the City standard • It is more cost effective to do the work while the construction crew has everything else tom up in the neighborhood • it is consistent with the third principie for City Deveiopment, tnvest in the Public Realm, as stated in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "Streets, sidewalks, parks, ..., are the stage sets for the public life of the city. As connecting routes, these places contribute to a sense of community and attract investment." • It is consistent with Objective 5.1 in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streets and public places." • it is consistent with Strafegy One in Chapter 4, Public Life and Space, of the Hamline Midway Community Plan, Harness the Residential Street Paving Initiative to Improve Neighborhood Streets • The majority of the property owners on Aldine Street want them I have the petitions with me today for your consideration. I have provided a copy of both petitions in this packet along with copies of relevant documents. I respectfuliy ask the Cify Council of the City of St. Paul to allow the residents of Aldine Street to get back their lantern-style lightirtg at an affordable price by voting to include Aldine Street in the Hewitt/Aldine Street Paving Project.

B��ild on exi ting strPnPths, The positive impact of the Selby is Iearning from Grand city's urban development successes can be increased by Artspace Loft conversions extending and replicating them. Target investment dollars where positive change is undenvay. 8. Preserva and enhanca heritag�rP�urcec. Saint Paul Irvine Park/Uppertown nghd. has a rich legacy of buildings, landscapes and Dayton's Bluff Historic District monuments that define a city rooted in local history. Twin Cities Bungalow Club (Figure N on page 32 shows existing, designated historic City Hail/Courthouse renovation districts.) 12 a �g ��3 � � _� � This is not to suggest that there is one mold for city neighborhoods. There are many physical forms for good neighborhoods in Saint Paui, for example: � • Saint Anthony Park: Most like the "pure village" model with a small commercial center and well-defined neighborhood boundaries. • Macalester Groveland: Smali commercial centers scattered at almost � every intersection of collector streets_ • Highland Park: One large shopping district that is a hybrid of pedestrian and automobile site planning. � • Battle Creek: SunRay Shopping Center and Suburban Avenue together make an even larger automobile-scaled center for a post-World War II neighborhood. As mentioned in the previous section on downtown, Saint Paul has a few large, cleared sites where new urban villages may be built. But it is even more important for the city to use traditional neighborhood development concepts for protecting and reinforcing the strengths of the city's existing neighborhoods. Objective 5.1 Urban Villages: A Theme with Variations Po/icies: 5.1.1 The City, neighborhood organizations, developers and realtors should use the urban village principles listed below, which are condensed from the Charter of the Congress for the New Urbanism, for assessing neighborhoods and promoting the advantages of city living. • Good neighbarhoods are compact and pedestrian-friendly. • Good neighborhoods have a mixture of Iand uses. • Good neighborhoods have a broad range of housing types. • Good neighborhoods are designed to support mass transit with appropriate land uses and densities within walking distance ef public transportation. • Good neighbarhoods have commercial, civic, and institutional activity embedded, not isolated in remote, single-use complexes. • Good neighborhoods have schools within walking and short bicycling distance for most children. • Good neighborhoods have a range of park facilities, from tot- lots to village greens to ballfields to community gardens. (Large parks and conservation areas serve as boundaries between . neighborhoods.) • Good neighborhoods are safe and secure. • In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streeYs and public piaces.

Hamline Midway Communify Plan - ' :Chaptar ' ` : =_ Public Lifa & Space =- _ Vision Together, Hamline Midway residents will build a sense of community throuah shared lives and shared space. Recognizable centers will be used by the community and feel part of the neighborhood. Community development here will foster a sense of place; respect local ecology, history and existing shuctures; and sensitively intea ate new structures into the communiiy's fabric. Paths between public gathering spaces will become more attractrve and viable space and will themselves be a"space" where neighbors meet. The community will foster public life by unproving transportation options that bring people toaether such as walking, biking and public transit. Stratea es Strateo� One: HA.I2NESS THE I2ESIDENTIAL STREET PAVING IlVITIATIVE TO IMI'ROVE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS Description Neighborhood safety, aesthetics, and environmental standards can be improved through residential street paving, which the city is progra*n**�;ng for approximately half of Hamline Midway during the next decade. The Hamline Midway community should set general goals and guidelines for residential paving, and residents in each annual paving area should meet together and with dty staff to consider innovations and modifications of the standard paving design. Rationale The city's residential street paving initiative represents the largest known expenditure of public funds in the neighborhood in the next decade. The paving will happen with or without neighborhood partidpation and leadership. We must hamess this opporhuuty to get street improvements and changes we want and need. Furthermore, the street paving activities present a golden opportunity to encourage landscaping, building, bicycle and pedestrian accessibility and other improvements. Implementafion Activities 1. Conduct backb ound research on paving alternatives. See the Saint Paul Transportation Policy Plan as an example. Also, review the completed pavina project for the Saint Anthony Park neighborhood, and other paving projects suggested by St. Paui Public Works and Plaxuiing and Economic Development. 2. Develop preferred options and produce a smaIl handbook of altematives to a de dedsions by block b oups. DRAFf ........................ ........................� Y ............................................ Sfrate Two Pubiic Life & Spa� �� 3. Make sure that each block a oup is aware a year ahead of time when pati is scheduled in their azea and some community leaders aze prepared to work together as soon as the Public Works Dept. concenes the first neighborhood meeting in the project area. 4. Each block o oup works out a street desia and paving plan within the community's guidelines. 5. Encourage block groups to link other improvements like landscaping, repladng lead water pipes and housing improvements to the paving project. 6 Desia�ns aze developed in autumn with construction taking place the folloceing summer. Needed resources • Neiohborhood leadership • Organizing and staff time • Mone�- for actual improvements (most will come Erom the Capital Improcement Budget) Potential Partners and Resource Providers • Hamline Midway Coalifion • Affected block clubs • St. Paul Plannutg and Economic Development • St. Paul Public Works • St. Paul Capital Improvement Budget • Properiy assessments IMPROVE RESIDENTIAL GREEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING Description Iveighborhood aesthetics, sense of piace and environment can be improced through enhanced landscaping and gardening in Hamline Midway: Ihe wmmunity will encotuage educational efforts and prob ams to faciiitate appropriate landscape designs and installations for residential property, including boulevazds. Any projects undertaken as part of this strategy will encourage environmentally sustainable and beneficial design and practices: However, the neighborhood rec aonizes the wide cariety of tasEes in landscaping and encourages a variety of approaches. Rationale Homes wiEh trees, shrubs and flowers help provide a sense of stability, well-being and serenity. WeIl c3esigned landscaping can help provide a sense of place which is an important aspect of community livability. Sustainable landscapes lead to healthier air, land and water. Implementation Activities This stratery is envisioned as an ongoing program composed of a number of projects to improve private green space in the neighborhood: DRAFT................................................� , 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 il 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 14 oRi�iNA� Council File # l�� Ordinance # Green Sheet # Presented By Referred To RESOLUTION OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA i � Committee: Date WHEREAS, the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protecrian (LIEP) has notified the public and the tasicab industry that there are a number of taxicab licenses available in the City of Saint Paul; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has received applicarions for fifty four (54) taacicab licenses by the pre- established deadline of November 6, 1999; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has evaluated the applications received according to the criteria contained in Chapter 376 of the Saint Paul Legislarive Code, paragraphs Q8 through 10; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has presented its recommendations and its rarionale for the approval of nine new licenses; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the recommendations and concurs therein, now therefore be it RESOLVED, that upon the recommendation of the Mayor, the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby approve the issuance of taxicab licenses to the following applicants: Gedion Adeda-(five licenses) Airport & Airline Taxi-(four licenses) Requested by Department of: Office of License.

If the owner fails to compiy with the order, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. Chuck Votel reported this is a three story, muiti-unit building. It was condemned in December 1995. In December 1996, Code Enforcement issued an order to abate a nuisance building. It was not taken further. Last October, an amended order was sent to abate a nuisance building. The City has issued nine summary abatement notices to remove refuse from the yard including fumiture and vehicles. The reai estate taxes and vacant building registration fees are paid. The estimated market value is $ I 10,000. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair is $30,000. The cost to demolish is $18,000 to $20 Harold Edstrom appeared and stated he is working with John Choi, legal counsel for Arrigoni. Arrigoni would like to buy the building. They are in the process of negotiating a purchase agreement. Gerry Strathman asked if this is a historic buiiding. Mr. Votel responded the building is in Dayton's Bluff, which is designated as a historic azea, therefore, the building should be repaired under the historic guidelines for the area. John Choi, representing V. K. Arrigoni, Inc., arrived and stated Arrigoni intends to turn the facility into transitional housing for chemically dependent women. The details have not been negotiated yet. Mr. Choi has been trying to contact the seller. The document has not heen finalized. Keith Pederson, owner, arrivad. Gerry Strathman braught him up to date as to what has been discussed so far. Mr. Pederson stated he wanted to correct some of the errors. A code compliance inspeciion was completed January 1997. Returning the property to certificate of occupancy compliance to be used as an apartment building does not require any building permits, therefore, no bond is needed. This information is per the building department. However, one item on the list requires an electrical permit. Gerry Strathman stated he would like to know when this matter will come to closure. Keith Federson responded he is entertaining a purchase agreement. There are coniingencies with various City licensing issues. John Choi responded the purchase agreement could be signed by next week. Once signed, a zoning application will have to be submitted because re-zoning may be involved. This may take a while. ��-(�� MINtJTES OF TI� LEGISLA'I'NE HEARING OF 12-1-98 Page 2 Gerry Strathman stated the building seems to be secure. Chuck Votel agreed. Gerry Sttathman asked Bob Connor did he have any information about this building. Mr. Connor responded he is surprised about the lack of information here concerning the inspection on the property. The inspection was several pages long showing many conecuons that needed to be made. Keith Pederson responded Mr. Connor is refening to the inspection done November 1996, which had 231 items on it. When tenants are asked to leave, they do not clean. There are 9 apartments. The inspector found the kitchen floor was soiled, toilet seat cracked, kitchen counter top soiled, eta This went on for each apartment so that there are 9 soiled kitchen floors, 9 soiled bathrooms, etc. This November 19961ist no longer applies; once the code compliance inspection has been made, it takes precedent over any previous inspections. Also, Mr. Pederson has wimesses and the inspector's admission of breaking into the building. Mr. Pederson stated the code compliance inspection was done in January 1997. There were 36 items listed. They are minor items such as provide a copy of the fire alarm inspection, provide glass breaking devices for fire extinguishers, repair some broken doors, etc. Mr. Pederson plans to remove the plumbing and eliminate the men and womens restrooms that have never been used during his ownership. He has been on the property every week. The snow is shoveled; the grass is cut. A dumpster is on the property for people who dump refuse. Minor repairs have been done to the building. The purchase agreement should happen within 120 days. If the client does not follow through with the purchase agreement, Mr. Pederson will make the repairs to re-occupy the building. It is an overreaction to demolish it. Gerry Strathman recommended laying over this matter to the January 19, 1999, I.egislative Hearing. This will give the owner time to see what will happen witb the proposed purchase. Once that is known, the owner can lay out his plans for the building.

In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. Th+s project area is generaliy bounded by Snelling Avenue on the west, St. C{air Avenue on the north, Hamline Avenue on the east, and Randolph Avenue on the south (see attached map). ln addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Jefferson Avenue between Snelling - and Hamline wil� be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Jefferson are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS All the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of the streets have concrete curb, although there are some streets that have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 9.2 m and 9.6 m(approximately 30' and 32'), but several streets without curbs have widened through use over the years. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. There are severai streets intersecting Si. Clair that have an old lantern around the corner on the cross street. These lights on the cross streets will be removed and replaced by the new lantern lighting system. Any bent straw lights on the streets to be reconstructed wiil also be removed and replaced by the new lantern lighting system. Jefferson Avenue is an oiled street with severa{ b{ocks of concrete curb, generalty 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing streei lighting on Jefferson is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Jefferson between Sneiling and Hamline is allowed only on the south side. As of May 1998, the average daily traffic on Jefferson was 3275 vehicles. The intersections of Jefferson and Hamline, and Jefferson and Snelling are controlled by traffic signals. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the following oiled streets with the construction of new bituminous 1 q� surtaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards iandscaped with sod and trees. 1n addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wili be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of properry owners. (The preliminary proposed street widths, in meters, are shown in parenthesis. 9.6 m is approximately 32'.)

Public Works is proposing to reconstruct the street at the existing width of 32' or 9.6 m(0.6 m- 3.3 m- 3.3 m- 2.4 m), maintaining the existing parking restrictions. This meets current MSA standards. No new traffic signaf iocations are planned. Decisions regarding the final street widths will be made keeping in mind the right-of-way widths, existing street widths, any relevant neighborhood issues, and the impact on boulevard trees. New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facilitate construction. The following streets will also have a lantern style street Vighting system installed as part of this project. � JAMES AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET PALACE AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO BRIMHALL STREET JULIET AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET WELLESLEY AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET STANFORD AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE BERKELEY AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET BRIMHALL STREET - ST.

POStT1VE BENEFITS Generaf improvement of the pubiic right-of-way will enhance and add quality to the neighborhood. The newiy rebuiit roadways wiil improve drivability of the neighborhood, and continue the City's efforts to improve the street system in Saint Paul. Street oiling in this neighborhood will be eliminated. Lantern style lighting will enhance neighborhood safety and esthetics. ADVERSE EF�ECTS Normal probiems associated with construction such as noise, dust, reduced access to the neighborhood, and general disruption will be present. EFFECTS ON TREES Street widths will be selected to minimize the impact on trees. New trees wi{I be planted as part of the boutevard restoration. TIME SCHEDULE The project will begin in the spring of 1999 and wi(I be completed by late fail of 1999. There wiA be further restrictions on the amount of time work is done on individual segments of streets.

In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wili be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections wiil be made at the request of property owners. This project area is generally bounded by Snelling Avenue on the west, St. Clair Avenue on the north, Hamline Avenue on the east, and Randolph Avenue on the south (see attached map). In addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Jefferson Avenue between Sneiling and Hamline will be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Jefferson are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS All the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of ihe streets have concrete curb, although there are some streets that have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 9.2 m and 9.6 m(approximately 30' and 32'), but several streets without curbs have widened ihrough use over the years. The street surfaces are generalfy in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. There are several streets intersecting St. Clair that have an old lantern around the comer on the cross street. These lights on the cross streets will be removed and replaced by the new lantern lighting system. Any bent straw lights on the streets to be reconstructed will also be removed and replaced by the new lantem lighting system. Jefferson Avenue is an oiled street with several blocks of concrete curb, generally 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing street lighting on Jefferson is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Jefferson between Snelling and Hamline is aliowed only on the south side. As of May 1998, the average daily traffic on Jefferson was 3275 vehicles. The intersections of Jefferson and Hamline, and Jefferson and Snelling are controiled by traffic signais. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the foilowing oiled streets with the construction of new bituminous 1 c{ �- l 0 9 a--- surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards landscaped with sod and trees. In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wiil be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners.

Public Works is proposing to reconstruct the street at the existing width of 32' or 9.6 m(0.6 m- 3.3 m- 3.3 m- 2.4 m), maintaining the existing parking restrictions. This meets current MSA standards. No new traffic signa! locations are planned. Decisions regarding the final street widths wili be made keeping in mind the right-of-way widths, existing street widths, any relevant neighborhood issues, and the impact on boulevard trees. New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facilitate construction.

Request foc Lantern-Style Street L'+ghts on Aldine Street Once upon a time (up to 1983), Aldine St. befinreen Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce Butler Route had lantem-styie lighting. Then came the sewer separation project which resulted in that portion of Aldine St. getting paved. At that time, the Ianterns were arbitrarily replaced with bent sfraws by the City. The residents were not given any options to have more attractive ligh6ng installed. In the late 198�s, fhe Cifij of St. Pau! adopted a lighting standard that specified lantern-style lighting on all residential streets. Since then, older style lighting fixtures are replaced on all streets as they are paved. The HewittlAldine Street Paving and Lighting Project scheduled for construction beginning in May 1999 is the subject of this public hearing. The project area boundaries are Minnehaha Ave. to the south, Fairview Ave. to the west, Pascal Ave. to the east, and Pierce Butler Route to the north. Aldine St. between Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce But(er Route is completely within the project boundaries. However, Aldine St. was paved in 1983 and so is not inciuded with this project. This aiso means that Aldine St. won't get new lighting without a contribution from residents in the form of assessments. I contacted Mike Eggum at Public Works to ask how much it will cost to provide lantern-style lighting for this portion of Aldine St. He said the entire project wili cost $66,200. The residential assessment works out to $22 per foot of frontage. I was prepared to contact residenfs to determine if there was enough interest to have the lanterns installed for this price. lmagine my surprise when, a couple of days before Thanksgiving, 1 received a Public Hearing Notice proposing an assessment for paving and lighting of Aldine St. in the amounts of $24.80 per foot paving and $4.39 per foot for lighting. This cost for lighting was far less than the price quoted by Public Works of $22 per foot. I called the 266-8850 number listed on my assessment notice and the man l spoke with said that if the City Council woutd vote to include Aldine St. in the official �roject area, the price per foot wouid be $4.39. I arranged a meeting for Aldine residents on Thursday, December 3. At that meeting I presented petitions to Aldine residents and to peopie who live on cross streets where Aldine is their side street. The first petition is from property owners requesting the City Council to vote to include Aldine St. in the project area so they can get their lighting installed at $4.39 per foot. The second petition is from property owners who live on the corners to get their approval of the project with the understanding that they would not be assessed since they are already paying for the paving and lighting in ftont of their homes. Several peopie from Aldine St. attended tfie meeting and signed the petitions. � � l�� I then went door-to-door to obtain more signatures. I have contacted about half of the property owners on Aldine in person, as weil as several of the owners of comer properties. Only two people are opposed to this project, one a properly owner and one a comer resident. Everyone else wants to see the lighting changed to the City Standard lantem-siyfe [ights. People who have lived on Aldine since before 1983 still remember when their lantems were removed and they want their lantems back. It makes sense to install these lights now for several reasons. . Lantern-style lights are the City standard • It is more cost effective to do the work while the construction crew has everything else tom up in the neighborhood • it is consistent with the third principie for City Development, Invest in the Pubiic Reaim, as stated in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "Streets, sidewalks, parks, ..., are the stage sets for the pubiic life of the city. As connecting routes, these places contribute to a sense of community and attract investment.° • it is consistent with Objective 5.1 in the Draft City Land Use Pian which states, "In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streets and public places." • it is consistent with Strategy One in Chapter 4, Public Life and Space, of the Hamline Midway Community Plan, Harness the Residentiat Street Paving initiative to Improve Neighborhood Streets • The majority of the property owners on Aidine Street want them I have the petitions with me today for your consideration. i have provided a copy of both petitions in this packet along with copies of re4evant documents. { respectFully ask the City Council of the Ci#y of St. Paul to ailow the residents of Aldine Street to get back their lantern-style lighting at an affordable price by voting to include Aldine Street in the HewittlAldine Street Paving Project.

There are many physical forms for good neighborhoods in Saint Paul, for example: � • Saint Anthony Park: Most like the "pure village" model with a small commercial center and well-defined neighborhood boundaries. • Macalester Groveland: Small commercial centers scattered at almost � every intersection of collector streets. • Highland Park: One large shopping district that is a hybrid of pedestrian and automobile site pianning. � • Battie Creek: SunRay Shopping Center and Suburban Avenue together make an even larger automobile-scaled center for a post-World War II neighborhood. As mentioned in the previous section on downtown, Saint Paul has a few large, cleared sites where new usban vi0ages may be built. Sut it is even more important for the city to use traditional neighborhood development concepts for protecting and reinforcing the strengths of the city's existing neighborhoods. Objective 5.1 Urban Villages: A Theme with Variations Po/icie% 5.1.1 The City, neighborhood organizations, developers and realtors should use the urban village principles listed below, which are condensed from the Charter of if�e Congress for the New Urbanism, for assessing neighborhoods and promoting the advantages of city living. • Good neighborhoods are compact and pedestrian-friendly. • Good neighborhoods have a mixture of land uses. • Good neighborhoods have a broad range of housing types. • Good neighborhoods are designed to support mass transit with appropriate land uses and densities within walking distance of pub�ic transportation. • Good neighbarhoods have commercial, civic, and institutional activity embedded, not isolated in remote, single-use complexes. • Good neighborhoods have schools within walking and short bicycting distance for most children. • Good neighborhoods have a range of park facilities, from tot- lots to village greens to ballfields to community gardens. (Large parks and conservation areas serve as boundaries between . neighborhoods.} • Good neighborhoods are safe and secure. • In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physicaNy define the streets and public pfaces.

Hamline Midway Community Plan � _ - .- ':Chipter 4 � ' "-' Publlc Lffa S Space -: Vision Together, Hamline Midway residents will build a sense of coinmunity through shared lives and shared space. Recognizable centers will be used by the community and feel part of the neighborhood. Community development here wiil foster a sense of place; respect local ecology, history and existing struciures; and sensitively integrate new structures into the community's fabric. Paths between public gathering spaces will become more attractive and viable space and will themselves be a"space" where neighbors meet. The community will foster public life by improving transportation options that bring people together such as walking, biking and public transit. Stratea es Strnte One: HARNgSS THE RESIDENTIAL STIZEET PAVING INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS Description Neighborhood safety, aesthetics, and environmental standards can be improved through residential street paving, which the dty is prograrruning for approximately half of Hamline Midway during the next decade. The Hamline Midway community should set general goals and d delines for residential paving, and residents in each annual paving area should meet together and with city staff to consider innovations and modifications of the standard paving design. Rationale The city's residential street paving initiative represents the larbest known expenditure oE public funds in the neighborhood in the next decade. The paving will happen with or without neighborhood participation and leadership. We must hamess this opportunity to get si=eet improvements and changes we want and need. Furthermore, the street paving activities present a golden opporhuuty to encourage landscaping, building, bicycle and pedestrian accessibility and other improvements. Implemenfation Activities 1. Conduct backa ound research on paving altematives. See the Saint Paul Transportation Policy Plan as an example. Also, review the completed paving project for the Saint Anthony Pazk neighborhood, and other paving projects suggested by St. Paul Public Works and Pianning and Economic Development. 2. Develop preferred options and produce a small handbook of alternatives to b de decisions by block groups. DRAFT................................................� Y ........................................... Strate Two Public Life & Spa� �� 3. Make sure that each block group is aware a year ahead of time when pacinj is scheduled in their azea and some community leaders are prepared to work together as soon as the Public Works Dept. concenes the first neighborhood meefing in the project azea. 4. Each block o oup works out a street desia and paving plan �vithin the community's guidelines. 5- Encourage block groups to link other improvements like landscaping, repladng lead water pipes and housing improvements to the paving project. 5 Des a�ns aze developed in autumn with construction takina place the folloc,�ing summer.

The community will encourage educational efforts and proa ams to facilitate appropriate landscape desibQns and installations for residential property, including boulevards. Any projects undertaken as part of this strategy will encourage environmentally sustainable and beneficial design and practices' However, the neighborhood rec b�nizes the wide cariety of tastes in landscaping and encourages a variety of approaches. Rafionale Homes with trees, shruUs and flowers help provide a sense of stability, well-being and serenity. Well designed landscaping can help provide a sense of place which is an important aspect of community livability. Sustainable landscapes lead to healthier air, land and water.

In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wifl be made, lead water services in the right of way wili be repiaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. This project area is generally bounded by Fairview Avenue on the west, Taylor Avenue on the north, Pascal Street on the east, and Minnehaha Avenue on the south (see attached map). In addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Fairview Avenue between Minnehaha and Pierce Butler will be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Fairview are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS Some of the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of the streets have concrete curb, and the remainder of the streets have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 7.3 m and 12.2 m(approximately 24' and 40'), several streets without curbs have widened through use over the years. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. Englewood from Sne4ling to Pascal has the lantern sty{e lights Fairview Avenue is an oiled street with some curb, generally 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing street lighting on Fairview is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Fairview between Minnehaha and Pierce Butler is allowed on both sides of the street. In 1997, the average daily traffic on Fairview was 3100 vehicles. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the following oiled streets with the construction of new bituminous surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutier, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards landscaped with sod and trees. In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners. (The preiiminary ��-�o�� proposed street widths, in meters, are shown in parenthesis. 9.6 m is approximately 32'.) TAYLOR AVENUE - WHEELER STREET TO SNELLING AVENUE (9.6 m) HEWITT AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET (9.6 m) HUBBARD AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE (9.6 m) ENGLEWOOD AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET (9.6 m) WHEELER STREET- ENGLEWOOD AVENUE TO TAYLOR AVENUE (9.6 m) YOUNG STREET - TAYLOR AVENUE NORTH TO THE END (9.6 m) CHARLOTTE STREET - HEWITT AVENUE NORTH TO THE END (9.6 m) FRY STREET - MINNEHAHA AVENUE NORTH TO THE END (9.6 m) PASCAL STREET - MINNEHAHA AVENUE TO TAYLOR AVENUE (9.6 m) FAIRVIEW AVENUE - MINNEHAHA AVENUE TO PIERCE BUTLER (9.6m) Fairview Avenue will be reconstructed as an MSA route. Public Works is proposing to reconstruct the street at the existing width of 32' or 9.6 m(0.6 m- 3.3 m- 3.3 m- 2.4 m), with parking on one side. Other options are: 7.8m (26 feet) wide with no parking, 11.4m (38 feet) wide with parking on both sides, or request a variance. This meets current MSA standards. No new traffic signal locations are planned. Decisions regarding the finai street widths wili be made keeping in mind the right-of-way widths, existing street widths, any relevant neighborhood issues, and the impact on boulevard trees. New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facilitate construction. The following streets will also have a lantern style street lighting system installed as part of this project. TAYLOR AVENUE - WHEELER STREET TO SNELLING AVENUE HEWITT AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET HUBBARD AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE ENGLEWOOD AVENUE - FAIRVIEW AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE WHEELER STREET- ENGLEWOOD AVENUE TO TAYLOR AVENUE YOUNG STREET - TAYLOR AVENUE NORTH TO THE END CHARLOTTE STREET - HEWIT7 AVENUE NORTH TO THE END FRY STREET - MINNEHAHA AVENUE NORTH TO THE END PASCAL STREE7 - MINNEHAHA AVENUE TO TAYLOR AVENUE FAIRVIEW AVENUE - MINNEHAHA AVENUE TO PIERCE BUTLER ALTERNATES To do nothing would be inconsistent with the City's commitment to improve existing oiled streets. POSITIVE BENEFITS Generai improvement of the public right-of-way wifl enhance and add quaiity to the 2 ��-�� neighborhood. The newly rebuilt roadways wiil improve drivability of the neighborhood, and continue the City's efforts to improve the street system in Saint Paul. Street oiling in this neighborhood will be eliminated. Lantern style lighting wiil enhance neighborhood safety and esthetics. ADVERSE EFFECTS Normal problems associated with construction such as noise, dust, reduced access to the neighborhood, and generai disruption will be present. EFFECTS ON TREES Street widths will be selected to minimize the impact on trees. New trees wiil be planted as part of the boulevard restoration. TfME SCHEDULE The project wili begin in the spring of 1999 and will be completed by late fall of 1999. There will be further restrictions on the amount of time work is done on individual segments of streets.

Name Address Telephone � �7 �8 - �� Request for Lantern-Styte Street Lights on A[dine Street Once upon a time (up to 1983), Aldine St. between Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce Butler Route had lantem-style lighting. Then came the sewer separation project which resulfed in that portion of Aldine St. getiing paved. At that fime, the lanterns were arbitrar+ly replaced with benY straws by the City. The residents were not given any options to have more attractive lighting instalied. In the late 1980s, the City of St. Paul adopted a lighting standard that specified lantern-style lighting on all residential streets. Since then, oider style iighting fixtures are replaced on all streets as they are paved. The Hewitt/Aldine Street Paving and lighting Project scheduled for construction beginning in May 1999 is fhe subject of fhis pub(ic hearing. The projecf area boundaries are Minnehaha Ave. to the south, Fairview Ave. to the west, Pascal Ave. to the east, and Pierce Butler Route to the north. Aidine St. between Minnehaha Ave, and Pierce Butler Route is completely within the project boundaries. However, Aldine St. was paved in 1983 and so is not included with this project. This atso means that Aldine St. won't get new lighting without a contribution from residents in the form of assessments. I contacted Mike Eggum at Public Works to ask how much it will cost to provide lantern-style lighting for this portion of Aldine St. He said the entire project will cost $66,20Q. The residential assessment worics out to $22 per foot of frontage. 1 was prepared to contact residents to determine if there was enough interest to have the lanterns installed for this price. Imagine my surprise when, a couple of days before Thanksgiving, I received a Public Nearing Notice proposing an assessment for paving and lighting of Aldine St. in the amounts of $24.80 per foot paving and $4.39 per foot for lighting. This cost for lighting was far less than the price quoted by Public Works of $22 per foot. I called the 266-8850 number listed on my assessment notice and the man I spoke with said that if the City Councii woutd vote to inciude Aldine St. in the offacial groject area, the price per foot would be $4.39. I arranged a meeting for Aldine residents on Thursday, December 3. At that meeting i presented petitions to Aidine residents and to people who live on cross streets where Aldine is their side street. The f+rst petit+on is from property owners requesting the City Council to vote to include Aldine St. in the project area so they can get their lighting installed at $4.39 per foot. The second petition is from property owners who live on the corners to get their approvai of the project with the understanding that they would not be assessed since they are aiready paying for the paving and lighting in front of their homes. Several people from Aldine St. attended the meeting and signed the petitions, � � lD�� I thert went door-to-door to obtain more signatures. I have contacted about fiaif of the property owners on Aldine in person, as well as several of the owners of comer properties. Only two peopie are opposed to this project, one a property owner and one a comer resident. Everyone else wants to see the lighting changed to the City Standard lantern-styte Iights. Peopie who have iived on Aldine since before 1983 still remember when their lantems were removed and they want their lantems back. It makes sense to irtstall these lights now for se�eraf reasons. • Lantern-style lights are the City standard • It is more cost effective to do the work while the construction crew has everything else tom up in the neighborhood • it is consistent with the third principie for City Deveiopment, tnvest in the Public Realm, as stated in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "Streets, sidewalks, parks, ..., are the stage sets for the public life of the city. As connecting routes, these places contribute to a sense of community and attract investment." • It is consistent with Objective 5.1 in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streets and public places." • it is consistent with Strafegy One in Chapter 4, Public Life and Space, of the Hamline Midway Community Plan, Harness the Residential Street Paving Initiative to Improve Neighborhood Streets • The majority of the property owners on Aldine Street want them I have the petitions with me today for your consideration. I have provided a copy of both petitions in this packet along with copies of relevant documents. I respectfuliy ask the Cify Council of the City of St. Paul to allow the residents of Aldine Street to get back their lantern-style lightirtg at an affordable price by voting to include Aldine Street in the Hewitt/Aldine Street Paving Project.

These assets wiil be Payne Avenue enhanced. Highwood neighborhood Ramsey Hill neighborhood 2. RP�torP and estahiich the uniq i �rban e olo�+.

Streets, sidewalks, parks, Residential street paving program and bluff and ravine edges are the stage sets for the Wabasha Bridge public life of the city. As connecting routes, these places Mears Park contribute to a sense of community and attract Highland Village streetscape investment. They must be safe. 4. Brozdan thP mix of land usPC. )n the downTOwn and Lowertown neighborhood commercial centers, a mix of land uses Grand Ave. creates more vibrant urban life by encouraging people to Payne Ave. live, work, and recreate in the city. 5. Improve mnnP�tivitv. Within neighborhoods and Selby Bridge rebuilding communities, and even citywide, urban life is improved Highland Barnes & Noble to Lunds by facilitating movement, access, and connection. Parks, YWCA to Boyd Park schools, institutions, businesses, and housing should create synergies, but they don't if they are disconnected. 6. Fna �re that b�ilding�n�ort broadPr city-h�ildina New Science Hall at St. Thomas goals. Buildings should make a contribution to their New Louisiana Cafe: Selby and Dale neighborhood and the public rea{m. For example, Lioyd's Auto: Grand and Chatsworth neighborhood commercial buildings should help to make Metro State University city sidewalks into good places for pedestrians. Lawson Software 7. B��ild on exi ting strPnPths, The positive impact of the Selby is Iearning from Grand city's urban development successes can be increased by Artspace Loft conversions extending and replicating them. Target investment dollars where positive change is undenvay. 8. Preserva and enhanca heritag�rP�urcec. Saint Paul Irvine Park/Uppertown nghd. has a rich legacy of buildings, landscapes and Dayton's Bluff Historic District monuments that define a city rooted in local history. Twin Cities Bungalow Club (Figure N on page 32 shows existing, designated historic City Hail/Courthouse renovation districts.) 12 a �g ��3 � � _� � This is not to suggest that there is one mold for city neighborhoods. There are many physical forms for good neighborhoods in Saint Paui, for example: � • Saint Anthony Park: Most like the "pure village" model with a small commercial center and well-defined neighborhood boundaries. • Macalester Groveland: Smali commercial centers scattered at almost � every intersection of collector streets_ • Highland Park: One large shopping district that is a hybrid of pedestrian and automobile site planning. � • Battle Creek: SunRay Shopping Center and Suburban Avenue together make an even larger automobile-scaled center for a post-World War II neighborhood. As mentioned in the previous section on downtown, Saint Paul has a few large, cleared sites where new urban villages may be built. But it is even more important for the city to use traditional neighborhood development concepts for protecting and reinforcing the strengths of the city's existing neighborhoods. Objective 5.1 Urban Villages: A Theme with Variations Po/icies: 5.1.1 The City, neighborhood organizations, developers and realtors should use the urban village principles listed below, which are condensed from the Charter of the Congress for the New Urbanism, for assessing neighborhoods and promoting the advantages of city living. • Good neighbarhoods are compact and pedestrian-friendly. • Good neighborhoods have a mixture of Iand uses. • Good neighborhoods have a broad range of housing types. • Good neighborhoods are designed to support mass transit with appropriate land uses and densities within walking distance ef public transportation. • Good neighbarhoods have commercial, civic, and institutional activity embedded, not isolated in remote, single-use complexes. • Good neighborhoods have schools within walking and short bicycling distance for most children. • Good neighborhoods have a range of park facilities, from tot- lots to village greens to ballfields to community gardens. (Large parks and conservation areas serve as boundaries between . neighborhoods.) • Good neighborhoods are safe and secure. • In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streeYs and public piaces. IAND USE PL4N: DRAFT FOR COMMUNITY REVIE4V 21 �-icy3 • � � � � • � � � - � � - � - � � - � � � � � • - � � � � - � . . . - . . . Hamline Midway Communify Plan - ' :Chaptar ' ` : =_ Public Lifa & Space =- _ Vision Together, Hamline Midway residents will build a sense of community throuah shared lives and shared space. Recognizable centers will be used by the community and feel part of the neighborhood. Community development here will foster a sense of place; respect local ecology, history and existing shuctures; and sensitively intea ate new structures into the communiiy's fabric. Paths between public gathering spaces will become more attractrve and viable space and will themselves be a"space" where neighbors meet. The community will foster public life by unproving transportation options that bring people toaether such as walking, biking and public transit. Stratea es Strateo� One: HA.I2NESS THE I2ESIDENTIAL STREET PAVING IlVITIATIVE TO IMI'ROVE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS Description Neighborhood safety, aesthetics, and environmental standards can be improved through residential street paving, which the city is progra*n**�;ng for approximately half of Hamline Midway during the next decade. The Hamline Midway community should set general goals and guidelines for residential paving, and residents in each annual paving area should meet together and with dty staff to consider innovations and modifications of the standard paving design. Rationale The city's residential street paving initiative represents the largest known expenditure of public funds in the neighborhood in the next decade. The paving will happen with or without neighborhood partidpation and leadership. We must hamess this opporhuuty to get street improvements and changes we want and need. Furthermore, the street paving activities present a golden opportunity to encourage landscaping, building, bicycle and pedestrian accessibility and other improvements. Implementafion Activities 1. Conduct backb ound research on paving alternatives. See the Saint Paul Transportation Policy Plan as an example. Also, review the completed pavina project for the Saint Anthony Park neighborhood, and other paving projects suggested by St. Paui Public Works and Plaxuiing and Economic Development. 2. Develop preferred options and produce a smaIl handbook of altematives to a de dedsions by block b oups. DRAFf ........................ ........................� Y ............................................ Sfrate Two Pubiic Life & Spa� �� 3. Make sure that each block a oup is aware a year ahead of time when pati is scheduled in their azea and some community leaders aze prepared to work together as soon as the Public Works Dept. concenes the first neighborhood meeting in the project area. 4. Each block o oup works out a street desia and paving plan within the community's guidelines. 5. Encourage block groups to link other improvements like landscaping, repladng lead water pipes and housing improvements to the paving project. 6 Desia�ns aze developed in autumn with construction taking place the folloceing summer. Needed resources • Neiohborhood leadership • Organizing and staff time • Mone�- for actual improvements (most will come Erom the Capital Improcement Budget) Potential Partners and Resource Providers • Hamline Midway Coalifion • Affected block clubs • St. Paul Plannutg and Economic Development • St. Paul Public Works • St. Paul Capital Improvement Budget • Properiy assessments IMPROVE RESIDENTIAL GREEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING Description Iveighborhood aesthetics, sense of piace and environment can be improced through enhanced landscaping and gardening in Hamline Midway: Ihe wmmunity will encotuage educational efforts and prob ams to faciiitate appropriate landscape designs and installations for residential property, including boulevazds. Any projects undertaken as part of this strategy will encourage environmentally sustainable and beneficial design and practices: However, the neighborhood rec aonizes the wide cariety of tasEes in landscaping and encourages a variety of approaches. Rationale Homes wiEh trees, shrubs and flowers help provide a sense of stability, well-being and serenity. WeIl c3esigned landscaping can help provide a sense of place which is an important aspect of community livability. Sustainable landscapes lead to healthier air, land and water. Implementation Activities This stratery is envisioned as an ongoing program composed of a number of projects to improve private green space in the neighborhood: DRAFT................................................� , 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 il 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 14 oRi�iNA� Council File # l�� Ordinance # Green Sheet # Presented By Referred To RESOLUTION OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA i � Committee: Date WHEREAS, the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protecrian (LIEP) has notified the public and the tasicab industry that there are a number of taxicab licenses available in the City of Saint Paul; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has received applicarions for fifty four (54) taacicab licenses by the pre- established deadline of November 6, 1999; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has evaluated the applications received according to the criteria contained in Chapter 376 of the Saint Paul Legislarive Code, paragraphs Q8 through 10; and WHEREAS, the Office of LIEP has presented its recommendations and its rarionale for the approval of nine new licenses; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the recommendations and concurs therein, now therefore be it RESOLVED, that upon the recommendation of the Mayor, the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby approve the issuance of taxicab licenses to the following applicants: Gedion Adeda-(five licenses) Airport & Airline Taxi-(four licenses) Requested by Department of: Office of License.

If the owner fails to compiy with the order, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. Chuck Votel reported this is a three story, muiti-unit building. It was condemned in December 1995. In December 1996, Code Enforcement issued an order to abate a nuisance building. It was not taken further. Last October, an amended order was sent to abate a nuisance building. The City has issued nine summary abatement notices to remove refuse from the yard including fumiture and vehicles. The reai estate taxes and vacant building registration fees are paid. The estimated market value is $ I 10,000. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair is $30,000. The cost to demolish is $18,000 to $20 Harold Edstrom appeared and stated he is working with John Choi, legal counsel for Arrigoni. Arrigoni would like to buy the building. They are in the process of negotiating a purchase agreement. Gerry Strathman asked if this is a historic buiiding. Mr. Votel responded the building is in Dayton's Bluff, which is designated as a historic azea, therefore, the building should be repaired under the historic guidelines for the area. John Choi, representing V. K. Arrigoni, Inc., arrived and stated Arrigoni intends to turn the facility into transitional housing for chemically dependent women. The details have not been negotiated yet. Mr. Choi has been trying to contact the seller. The document has not heen finalized. Keith Pederson, owner, arrivad. Gerry Strathman braught him up to date as to what has been discussed so far. Mr. Pederson stated he wanted to correct some of the errors. A code compliance inspeciion was completed January 1997. Returning the property to certificate of occupancy compliance to be used as an apartment building does not require any building permits, therefore, no bond is needed. This information is per the building department. However, one item on the list requires an electrical permit. Gerry Strathman stated he would like to know when this matter will come to closure. Keith Federson responded he is entertaining a purchase agreement. There are coniingencies with various City licensing issues. John Choi responded the purchase agreement could be signed by next week. Once signed, a zoning application will have to be submitted because re-zoning may be involved. This may take a while. ��-(�� MINtJTES OF TI� LEGISLA'I'NE HEARING OF 12-1-98 Page 2 Gerry Strathman stated the building seems to be secure. Chuck Votel agreed. Gerry Sttathman asked Bob Connor did he have any information about this building. Mr. Connor responded he is surprised about the lack of information here concerning the inspection on the property. The inspection was several pages long showing many conecuons that needed to be made. Keith Pederson responded Mr. Connor is refening to the inspection done November 1996, which had 231 items on it. When tenants are asked to leave, they do not clean. There are 9 apartments. The inspector found the kitchen floor was soiled, toilet seat cracked, kitchen counter top soiled, eta This went on for each apartment so that there are 9 soiled kitchen floors, 9 soiled bathrooms, etc. This November 19961ist no longer applies; once the code compliance inspection has been made, it takes precedent over any previous inspections. Also, Mr. Pederson has wimesses and the inspector's admission of breaking into the building. Mr. Pederson stated the code compliance inspection was done in January 1997. There were 36 items listed. They are minor items such as provide a copy of the fire alarm inspection, provide glass breaking devices for fire extinguishers, repair some broken doors, etc. Mr. Pederson plans to remove the plumbing and eliminate the men and womens restrooms that have never been used during his ownership. He has been on the property every week. The snow is shoveled; the grass is cut. A dumpster is on the property for people who dump refuse. Minor repairs have been done to the building. The purchase agreement should happen within 120 days. If the client does not follow through with the purchase agreement, Mr. Pederson will make the repairs to re-occupy the building. It is an overreaction to demolish it. Gerry Strathman recommended laying over this matter to the January 19, 1999, I.egislative Hearing. This will give the owner time to see what will happen witb the proposed purchase. Once that is known, the owner can lay out his plans for the building.

In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. Th+s project area is generaliy bounded by Snelling Avenue on the west, St. C{air Avenue on the north, Hamline Avenue on the east, and Randolph Avenue on the south (see attached map). ln addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Jefferson Avenue between Snelling - and Hamline wil� be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Jefferson are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS All the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of the streets have concrete curb, although there are some streets that have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 9.2 m and 9.6 m(approximately 30' and 32'), but several streets without curbs have widened through use over the years. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. There are severai streets intersecting Si. Clair that have an old lantern around the corner on the cross street. These lights on the cross streets will be removed and replaced by the new lantern lighting system. Any bent straw lights on the streets to be reconstructed wiil also be removed and replaced by the new lantern lighting system. Jefferson Avenue is an oiled street with severa{ b{ocks of concrete curb, generalty 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing streei lighting on Jefferson is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Jefferson between Sneiling and Hamline is allowed only on the south side. As of May 1998, the average daily traffic on Jefferson was 3275 vehicles. The intersections of Jefferson and Hamline, and Jefferson and Snelling are controlled by traffic signals. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the following oiled streets with the construction of new bituminous 1 q� surtaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards iandscaped with sod and trees. 1n addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wili be made, lead water services in the right of way will be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of properry owners.

No new traffic signaf iocations are planned. Decisions regarding the final street widths will be made keeping in mind the right-of-way widths, existing street widths, any relevant neighborhood issues, and the impact on boulevard trees. New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facilitate construction. The following streets will also have a lantern style street Vighting system installed as part of this project. � JAMES AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET PALACE AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO BRIMHALL STREET JULIET AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET WELLESLEY AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET STANFORD AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO SNELLING AVENUE BERKELEY AVENUE - HAMLINE AVENUE TO PASCAL STREET BRIMHALL STREET - ST.

In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs wili be made, lead water services in the right of way wili be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer reconnections will be made at the request of property owners. This project area is generally bounded by Fairview Avenue on the west, Taylor Avenue on the north, Pascal Street on the east, and Minnehaha Avenue on the south (see attached map). In addition to the residential streets to be reconstructed, Fairview Avenue between Minnehaha and Pierce Butler will be done as an MSA route. The features to be constructed on Fairview are the same as described above for the residential streets. EXISTING CONDITIONS Some of the residential streets in the project area are oiled. Most of the streets have concrete curb, and the remainder of the streets have no curb at all. The defined street widths are between 7.3 m and 12.2 m(approximately 24' and 40'), several streets without curbs have widened through use over the years. The street surfaces are generally in fair condition. Most of the existing street lighting within the project area is on NSP wood poles. Englewood from Sneiling to Pascal has the lantern style lights Fairview Avenue is an oiled street with some curb, generally 32' wide, and in fair to poor condition. The existing streei lighting on Fairview is on NSP wood poles. Parking on Fairview between Minnehaha and Pierce Butier is allowed on both sides of the street. In 1997, the average dai{y traffic on Fairview was 3100 vehicles. PRQPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS It is proposed to improve the foffowing oifed streets with the construction of new bituminous surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons and outwalks, and boulevards landscaped with sod and trees. In addition, appropriate sanitary sewer repairs will be made, lead water services in the right of way wili be replaced, and storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections will be made at the request of property owners. (The preliminary ��-(o�� proposed street widths, in meters, are shown in parenthesis. 9.6 m is approximately 32'.)

Public Works is proposing to reconstruct the street at the existing width of 32' or 9.6 m(0.6 m- 3.3 m- 3.3 m- 2.4 m), with parking on ane side. Other options are: 7.8m (26 teet) wide with no parking, 11.4m (38 feet) wide with parking on both sides, or request a variance. This meets current MSA standards. No new traffic signal locations are pianned. Decisions regarding the final street widths will be made keeping in mind the right-of-way widths, existing street widths, any relevant neighborhood issues, and the +mpact on boulevard trees. New curb may be hand formed to avoid damaging boulevard trees or their roots. Tree trimming may be necessary to facifitate construction. The foliowing streets will also have a lantern style street lighting system installed as part of this project.

Request foc Lantern-Style Street L'+ghts on Aldine Street Once upon a time (up to 1983), Aldine St. befinreen Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce Butler Route had lantem-styie lighting. Then came the sewer separation project which resulted in that portion of Aldine St. getting paved. At that time, the Ianterns were arbitrarily replaced with bent sfraws by the City. The residents were not given any options to have more attractive ligh6ng installed. In the late 198�s, fhe Cifij of St. Pau! adopted a lighting standard that specified lantern-style lighting on all residential streets. Since then, older style lighting fixtures are replaced on all streets as they are paved. The HewittlAldine Street Paving and Lighting Project scheduled for construction beginning in May 1999 is the subject of this public hearing. The project area boundaries are Minnehaha Ave. to the south, Fairview Ave. to the west, Pascal Ave. to the east, and Pierce Butler Route to the north. Aldine St. between Minnehaha Ave. and Pierce But(er Route is completely within the project boundaries. However, Aldine St. was paved in 1983 and so is not inciuded with this project. This aiso means that Aldine St. won't get new lighting without a contribution from residents in the form of assessments. I contacted Mike Eggum at Public Works to ask how much it will cost to provide lantern-style lighting for this portion of Aldine St. He said the entire project wili cost $66,200. The residential assessment works out to $22 per foot of frontage. I was prepared to contact residenfs to determine if there was enough interest to have the lanterns installed for this price. lmagine my surprise when, a couple of days before Thanksgiving, 1 received a Public Hearing Notice proposing an assessment for paving and lighting of Aldine St. in the amounts of $24.80 per foot paving and $4.39 per foot for lighting. This cost for lighting was far less than the price quoted by Public Works of $22 per foot. I called the 266-8850 number listed on my assessment notice and the man l spoke with said that if the City Council woutd vote to include Aldine St. in the official �roject area, the price per foot wouid be $4.39. I arranged a meeting for Aldine residents on Thursday, December 3. At that meeting I presented petitions to Aldine residents and to peopie who live on cross streets where Aldine is their side street. The first petition is from property owners requesting the City Council to vote to include Aldine St. in the project area so they can get their lighting installed at $4.39 per foot. The second petition is from property owners who live on the corners to get their approval of the project with the understanding that they would not be assessed since they are already paying for the paving and lighting in ftont of their homes. Several peopie from Aldine St. attended tfie meeting and signed the petitions. � � l�� I then went door-to-door to obtain more signatures. I have contacted about half of the property owners on Aldine in person, as weil as several of the owners of comer properties. Only two people are opposed to this project, one a properly owner and one a comer resident. Everyone else wants to see the lighting changed to the City Standard lantem-siyfe [ights. People who have lived on Aldine since before 1983 still remember when their lantems were removed and they want their lantems back. It makes sense to install these lights now for several reasons. . Lantern-style lights are the City standard • It is more cost effective to do the work while the construction crew has everything else tom up in the neighborhood • it is consistent with the third principie for City Development, Invest in the Pubiic Reaim, as stated in the Draft City Land Use Plan which states, "Streets, sidewalks, parks, ..., are the stage sets for the pubiic life of the city. As connecting routes, these places contribute to a sense of community and attract investment.° • it is consistent with Objective 5.1 in the Draft City Land Use Pian which states, "In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physically define the streets and public places." • it is consistent with Strategy One in Chapter 4, Public Life and Space, of the Hamline Midway Community Plan, Harness the Residentiat Street Paving initiative to Improve Neighborhood Streets • The majority of the property owners on Aidine Street want them I have the petitions with me today for your consideration. i have provided a copy of both petitions in this packet along with copies of re4evant documents. { respectFully ask the City Council of the Ci#y of St. Paul to ailow the residents of Aldine Street to get back their lantern-style lighting at an affordable price by voting to include Aldine Street in the HewittlAldine Street Paving Project.

Twin Cities Bungalow Club (Figure N on page 32 shows existing, designated historic City Hall/Courthouse renovation districts.) 12 �� °3 � � � This is not to suggest that there is one mold for city neighborhoods. There are many physical forms for good neighborhoods in Saint Paul, for example: � • Saint Anthony Park: Most like the "pure village" model with a small commercial center and well-defined neighborhood boundaries. • Macalester Groveland: Small commercial centers scattered at almost � every intersection of collector streets. • Highland Park: One large shopping district that is a hybrid of pedestrian and automobile site pianning. � • Battie Creek: SunRay Shopping Center and Suburban Avenue together make an even larger automobile-scaled center for a post-World War II neighborhood. As mentioned in the previous section on downtown, Saint Paul has a few large, cleared sites where new usban vi0ages may be built. Sut it is even more important for the city to use traditional neighborhood development concepts for protecting and reinforcing the strengths of the city's existing neighborhoods. Objective 5.1 Urban Villages: A Theme with Variations Po/icie% 5.1.1 The City, neighborhood organizations, developers and realtors should use the urban village principles listed below, which are condensed from the Charter of if�e Congress for the New Urbanism, for assessing neighborhoods and promoting the advantages of city living. • Good neighborhoods are compact and pedestrian-friendly. • Good neighborhoods have a mixture of land uses. • Good neighborhoods have a broad range of housing types. • Good neighborhoods are designed to support mass transit with appropriate land uses and densities within walking distance of pub�ic transportation. • Good neighbarhoods have commercial, civic, and institutional activity embedded, not isolated in remote, single-use complexes. • Good neighborhoods have schools within walking and short bicycting distance for most children. • Good neighborhoods have a range of park facilities, from tot- lots to village greens to ballfields to community gardens. (Large parks and conservation areas serve as boundaries between . neighborhoods.} • Good neighborhoods are safe and secure. • In good neighborhoods, the architecture and landscaping physicaNy define the streets and public pfaces.

Hamline Midway Community Plan � _ - .- ':Chipter 4 � ' "-' Publlc Lffa S Space -: Vision Together, Hamline Midway residents will build a sense of coinmunity through shared lives and shared space. Recognizable centers will be used by the community and feel part of the neighborhood. Community development here wiil foster a sense of place; respect local ecology, history and existing struciures; and sensitively integrate new structures into the community's fabric. Paths between public gathering spaces will become more attractive and viable space and will themselves be a"space" where neighbors meet. The community will foster public life by improving transportation options that bring people together such as walking, biking and public transit. Stratea es Strnte One: HARNgSS THE RESIDENTIAL STIZEET PAVING INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS Description Neighborhood safety, aesthetics, and environmental standards can be improved through residential street paving, which the dty is prograrruning for approximately half of Hamline Midway during the next decade. The Hamline Midway community should set general goals and d delines for residential paving, and residents in each annual paving area should meet together and with city staff to consider innovations and modifications of the standard paving design. Rationale The city's residential street paving initiative represents the larbest known expenditure oE public funds in the neighborhood in the next decade. The paving will happen with or without neighborhood participation and leadership. We must hamess this opportunity to get si=eet improvements and changes we want and need. Furthermore, the street paving activities present a golden opporhuuty to encourage landscaping, building, bicycle and pedestrian accessibility and other improvements. Implemenfation Activities 1. Conduct backa ound research on paving altematives. See the Saint Paul Transportation Policy Plan as an example. Also, review the completed paving project for the Saint Anthony Pazk neighborhood, and other paving projects suggested by St. Paul Public Works and Pianning and Economic Development. 2. Develop preferred options and produce a small handbook of alternatives to b de decisions by block groups.

Make sure that each block group is aware a year ahead of time when pacinj is scheduled in their azea and some community leaders are prepared to work together as soon as the Public Works Dept. concenes the first neighborhood meefing in the project azea. 4. Each block o oup works out a street desia and paving plan �vithin the community's guidelines. 5- Encourage block groups to link other improvements like landscaping, repladng lead water pipes and housing improvements to the paving project. 5 Des a�ns aze developed in autumn with construction takina place the folloc,�ing summer.

The community will encourage educational efforts and proa ams to facilitate appropriate landscape desibQns and installations for residential property, including boulevards. Any projects undertaken as part of this strategy will encourage environmentally sustainable and beneficial design and practices' However, the neighborhood rec b�nizes the wide cariety of tastes in landscaping and encourages a variety of approaches. Rafionale Homes with trees, shruUs and flowers help provide a sense of stability, well-being and serenity. Well designed landscaping can help provide a sense of place which is an important aspect of community livability. Sustainable landscapes lead to healthier air, land and water.
