Coleman CiTy Of St. Paul 39� City Hafl 15 West Kellogg Boulevard St. Paul, MN 55109 Honorable Mayor Coleman: oo-i�t'� � -- -� RECEIV�D NOU 9 - 1999 N1.4YOR'S OFF;�F Pat Milan informed me of your positive response to his letter concerning our plans for the building at 1956 Feronia. Thank you so much for your encouragement. I am writing to introduce us, apprise you of our situation, and, perhaps, to ask for your assistance. My wife, Julie Inda and I are graphic design professionals. We are involved in our professionai and neighborhood community. Julie is the Creative director of Walman Optical, an optical whofesaler and distributor of optica{ productr. { am the president of Pat Carney Studio, Inc., a graphic design firm presently housed in the Minneapolis Warehouse District. We are interested in purchasing the building at the corner of Feronia and Prior in the Merriam Park neighborhood, 1956 Feronia. Our ptan is to convert the first floor � and the basement into Pat Carney Studio. The second floor would be commercial rental space, hopefully for a business symbiotic with the studio. Julie and I would make our home on the third floor. � The building is a bit of a mystery. We think it was used as a Victorian era railroad depot, but we are not sure of the architectural origins of the structure. It is a rounded wedge shaped building vaguely reminiscent of New York's Flatiron Bui(ding. The two walis forming the rounded point are made up of twelve arches on each of the three fioors. The effect is stunning. I am looking forward to discovering more about the origins of this truly unique building and preserving iu grandeur. Thus far the plan is moving ahead as smoothly as one might expect. We have contacted the lris Pask Bfock Club, the Merriam Park Community Council, Nancy Homans concerning zoning and Theresa Laws from Economic Development. We are now interviewing banks, architects and contractors. I am including photos of the building as it is now, some PhotoShop-altered photos of what we hope it will look like and some sketchy floor plans. I know you are interested in jobs and the revitalization of the St. Paul's neighborhoods. What we have here is an opportunity to accomplish both at one time. 1956 Feronia is a derelict buiiding last used as a crack house and closed by the St. Paul Pofice Deparcment. You can see by the photos the building is in need of some loving care. Pat Carney Studio is a growing firm with twelve employees at the present time and every intention to be twice this size. Our client list is a who's-who of the Twin Cities finest businesses incfuding Target, Daytons, Generaf M'rlfs, and Hazelden'Sreatment Center. We have been in business for fifteen years and in the same building in the Minneapolis Warehouse District for ten years. i have enclosed our mini-portfolio. We assembl2 these at tne oifiice as samples oi our work. �� r� � 400 FIRST aVENUE NORTH, SUITE n�� MINNEAPOL15, MINNESOTA 55401 ., / J - 3 3 9 - 4 0 2 '1 %a .v 617 . i � - , • � �ap/.;. .�e: iy.. & a..»neunaoarrn.e: .��,vep d0 -I�l�l � Our challenges are: Financing eanks want a commitment from the city before they are willing to commit. The building is in such disrepair, banks fear the cost of rehabilitation will exceed the value of the building upon completion. ' Zoning The building needs to be rezoned for our plan to be a reality. The process typicalty takes 90 days and can't begin until the financing is in place. Our purchase agreement gives us until January 28 to meet our contingencies, zoning being one. Is there some way to expedite the rezoning or guarantee the rezoning before we purchase the building? Variances We may need a waiver on the number of parking spots per the square footage of the building. We are a low traffic business, and we are sure we can accommodate the employee and visitor parking. However, St. PauV codes may require more space than is available. Finally, a paragraph or two about the neighborhood and their enthusiasm. Every effort to revitalize a neighborhoad is a risky endeavor. Tfie lynchpin of success is the evolvement of the neighbors. The Merriam Park neighborhood has embraced our efforts in a most friendly and energetic way. They have made it clear to us they want us to succeed and will do whatever asked to see that we succeed. � When we needed to hunt down the owners of the properties near the Feronia building the (ris Park Block �lub volunteered to secure the signatures we needed. it happened without our involvement. We are regular attendees at their meetings. They have made it ciear they are ready to help with anything else we need to make this a reality. Julie and I and Pat Carney Studio, Inc. are willing to work towards this goal and to commit the resources we have to this end. With the help of the neighborhood, the Iris Park Block Club, The Merriam Park Community Council and your help we are sure we can accomplish this. We hope we can contact you in the future to intercede on behalf of one of your newest St. Paul businesses and families, as well as on behalf of one of the city's unique landmarks.
