MAC pazking director Greg Leean has proposed a set of changes that would inciude rais- ing the daily rate from $24 to $36 in the short-term ramp in front of the terminal — in an effort to discourage iong-term parkers from monopolizing short-term Sp�LS. The proposal would increase weekly rates from $60 to $96 in the general long-term parking , ramp. Gasper has reservations about raising rates to change paxking habits. Fie said the MAC takes great cue to keep costs down for the airlines bnt does not show the same concem for wnsumers. "We claim to be one of the cheapest airports in the country. But if we are gaing to try to be an economical airport, then we should try for both �airline and consumer] sides," he said. MAC financial reports show that the airport makes more on pazking than on airtine landing THi7RSDAY, AUGUST 7 y 1997 fees. Thruugh the second quartei of this year, landing fees had broughtin about $9 millinn,and pazking iees had generated al- most $16 million. The total ex- pected for the yeaz is about $23 million &om landing fees and ahout $32 million 8om pazking. Commissioner John Himie of' Bloomington favors raising rates to reduce pazking demand. "YJhether it's highways or waste management issues, we simply don't have the collective pubiic resources to keep building, building, building," Himle said. "We also need to pay attention to how we manage demand. `If the airport took the posi- tion that we will build infrastruc- ture without regazd to having tried to manage demand, that would frankiy be an 'uresponsible use of public resources," he said. "And sa I view the increase in the pazk3ng rates, which will only fall on about one-third of the users, as one tooi in managing parking demand." �__% �� .l2-� :i - i i , i 19'T8 Ford Parkway, St Panl MN 55116 Buiiding a Setter Commanity Ttuough Citizen Pazticip Iuty 7,1997 s��a�n President �� vce Pre9dent ScottBtmin ��Y M� Moeller Trr�asura Memt�ers Cnid I: Kutt Schreck Grid 2: Reede Websler G:id 3: Scott B�m Crrid4: VickyDimWiDi�s Grid 5: I3�a Caopes Gtid 6: Gseg Klem� Grid 7: Ivfaik Mcellea Grid 8: Ken Jeff�on Grid 9: Sieglinde Biet Grid lU: Sfiaan BarLsh Cuid Il:duisBerg Grid 12: Vaoaira KoscLak At I azge Rick I}dg�ais neg Mcc3ee �� ohn Crrtqbek BA avid Biaiey t� nY� ol�scheid nmunitY oig�nizea de summeas 4 F�d Pmkway '�1 MN 55116 4138 F�298-5139 David McUonnell Saint Paul Planning commission City Hall Annex ZS West 4�' Street SainiPaul MN 55102 Dear Mr. McDonnell; � ��cE�v�� JUL 0 8 i997 1�4{CHAEL NARR[S As yaa may know, last FECember the F3'ighiand Area Community Council sent a letter w ihe Planning Commission requestiug that a 40 Acre Studv be done for the area surtounding Shepatd and Davern streets.

"E.g the CLiidr�'s Mu.scvm, State CsPitoL Hisiory Cmta, Downtown, etc. � a�-►�lS now exists, our "ftont �or" is inauspicious at besL Saint Paul has a wonderful opportunity to set the tone for visitors and to let them ksiow that Saint Paul has a great deal to offer and is a great ptace to �risit and do business. This lies in directly wiU� development along Wes[ Seventh and the surrounding area. and is another reason this area deserves the Ci�'s attention. This project has direci ties to all of West Seventh and specifically to downtown. It is intended to provi� economic ben�t to businesses along West Seventh as well as increase interest in sites and activities located downtown. TrafficlSafety Concerns West Seventh poses special saCetg considerations lhat deserve specific atteution and shou(d be faken into account in planning development of llie area. The area is a uansiaon zone witti a frceway that ends abmplly in a mi�d use ace. The area has many chiidren and seniors and has had severai serious accidenzs. Eartier this year Saint Paul PuUlic Works proposed ctosing some streets that intersect West Seventh.

Fn Navember 1495, Council member Hartis designated this area as a"targeY' in the 199? budget and plan. After meetings with Council mttnber Harris, the community and elected officia]s, we agreed in May that a new planningtdavelopment gpcu, is appmp�iate and recommended a hroader efforc than the 40-acre study originally requested. 2. We've met with area residents, with property owners, a�d �� Coznmunity Council and have found broad support for zhe project. 3. We've agzeed with the initiation schedule preferred by ihe Community Council, that is to begin with a kick-off community meeting in September. 4. We've expiained the interest in a second-phase planning effort to the Neighborhoods and Land Use Committee of the Saint Pau1 Pianning Cammission, azsd they aze e�cpecting to act on an initiating resolution at their Au�ust 18 meeting. 5. We bave determined that a well-defined and illusaated development concept is likely an important product for this effort, az►d aze exploring, with the Community CounciI leadership, resources that aught be tapped to secure the am.hitecturaUurban design taient that wouid be fielpfut. b. We have developed some alternative ideas for the process and are lookzng at the design chatetce model used successfuily for the precinct planning in the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Develapment Framework process as one means to engage a number of people and interests and ideas in a sfiart time. We wili be reviewing ideas far the schedule and process with aosnmunity representatives and the Planning Commission. 7. We have worked with Council member Hazris and Disfrict Council President 5hawn Baitsh and we are suggestins a pianning azea bounded by Edgecumbe, St. Paul Ave., W.1th Strcez, Rankin Ave and Shepazd Road. A map is attached. We have had a base map prepazed for the study area and have begun the work of gathering background information. EP 30 '97 12�31 PAGE.12 � ocr-sd-1997 1Z�34 P.13 �� 8. In addirion to these pianning steps, we have begun, with Pamela Wheelock, a sezious exploration of PEB/City implementation tools for initiating development. We would like to be cieaz enough about resources and imple.meatation tooIs so that the planaing work can be closely linked with action steps. 9. The Pianning Commission resolurian will idemify repzeseatation needed for the task force. We have suggested: Communi#y CounciI co-chair, Planniug Cosamission co-chair, an additioaal Community Couacil member, tUree residenuaI groperty owness, three commercialf'mdustrial property owaers, a West ?th/Fort Road Business Association represeatative, a Parks Commission representafive, a neighborhood social service agency and e St. Paul Riverfiont Corparation Representative. 10. The process outline we aze discussing now wanld mean complefion of a draft plan foi communiry review by March. That is ambitious, particularIy with the holiday season inten+ening, but we would like to keep the process conc'sse and moving as rapidly as is reasonable. 11. As faz as the scope of issues is concerned, we believe the plan should focus primarity on development options for the ereas aear Davern 5ueet between West 7th and 3hepard Road. But these should be considezed in the broader context of the role of this larger area as a gateway to the city and one end of an important oonridor to downtown as well as a link with the river valley. Direction for oiher improvements tv strengthen the azea's functioxi and ohazactez and contr'sburion to both the city and the neighbnrhood should be part of the plan.

I deplare the idea that Govemment ca�i impose this type of action -- taking away a business/ prop- erty ownet's legal rights -- on a wlvm! This, in my opinion is a VERY SCARY thought as a busi- ness owner and property owner -- fliat one day someone in Govenm�ent could arbitrarily decide to impose a moratorium against anyone for any reasoni Let's remember what county we live in! It is especially disheartening when you consider iliat only 3 other moratoriums have evet been imposed here -- one instance involved a pomograpt�y business, one involved a gun shop and the fhird involved a company putting pollutants into 8�e Mississippi Rsver. Mr. Middleton has done notl�ing wrong, or even controversiaL He is anexemplarybusiness neighbor, wl�o has gone "above arnl beyond", serving the communiiy for many years. He recentiy spent hundreds ofthousands of dollazs improving the appearance and value ofthe properiy in question. He has served tl�e West End area and greater St, Paul area for many years as a leader in issues such as economic development and commercial revihlization, to name otily a couple. This action is a travesty and should notbe tolerated! Please take some time today, before fl�e 3:30 PM hearing, to understand whaYs really going on here. IYs a scary world we live in when a select few individuals decide for wl�at ever reasons, that 8�ey aze jusfified in taking away a person's ]egal rigltts ... and then aze able to convince others to agree.

MAC pazking director Greg Leean has proposed a set of changes that would inciude rais- ing the daily rate from $24 to $36 in the short-term ramp in front of the terminal — in an effort to discourage iong-term parkers from monopolizing short-term Sp�LS. The proposal would increase weekly rates from $60 to $96 in the general long-term parking , ramp. Gasper has reservations about raising rates to change paxking habits. Fie said the MAC takes great cue to keep costs down for the airlines bnt does not show the same concem for wnsumers. "We claim to be one of the cheapest airports in the country. But if we are gaing to try to be an economical airport, then we should try for both �airline and consumer] sides," he said. MAC financial reports show that the airport makes more on pazking than on airtine landing THi7RSDAY, AUGUST 7 y 1997 fees. Thruugh the second quartei of this year, landing fees had broughtin about $9 millinn,and pazking iees had generated al- most $16 million. The total ex- pected for the yeaz is about $23 million &om landing fees and ahout $32 million 8om pazking. Commissioner John Himie of' Bloomington favors raising rates to reduce pazking demand. "YJhether it's highways or waste management issues, we simply don't have the collective pubiic resources to keep building, building, building," Himle said. "We also need to pay attention to how we manage demand. `If the airport took the posi- tion that we will build infrastruc- ture without regazd to having tried to manage demand, that would frankiy be an 'uresponsible use of public resources," he said. "And sa I view the increase in the pazk3ng rates, which will only fall on about one-third of the users, as one tooi in managing parking demand." �__% �� .l2-� :i - i i , i 19'T8 Ford Parkway, St Panl MN 55116 Buiiding a Setter Commanity Ttuough Citizen Pazticip Iuty 7,1997 s��a�n President �� vce Pre9dent ScottBtmin ��Y M� Moeller Trr�asura Memt�ers Cnid I: Kutt Schreck Grid 2: Reede Websler G:id 3: Scott B�m Crrid4: VickyDimWiDi�s Grid 5: I3�a Caopes Gtid 6: Gseg Klem� Grid 7: Ivfaik Mcellea Grid 8: Ken Jeff�on Grid 9: Sieglinde Biet Grid lU: Sfiaan BarLsh Cuid Il:duisBerg Grid 12: Vaoaira KoscLak At I azge Rick I}dg�ais neg Mcc3ee �� ohn Crrtqbek BA avid Biaiey t� nY� ol�scheid nmunitY oig�nizea de summeas 4 F�d Pmkway '�1 MN 55116 4138 F�298-5139 David McUonnell Saint Paul Planning commission City Hall Annex ZS West 4�' Street SainiPaul MN 55102 Dear Mr. McDonnell; � ��cE�v�� JUL 0 8 i997 1�4{CHAEL NARR[S As yaa may know, last FECember the F3'ighiand Area Community Council sent a letter w ihe Planning Commission requestiug that a 40 Acre Studv be done for the area surtounding Shepatd and Davern streets.

This lies in directly wiU� development along Wes[ Seventh and the surrounding area. and is another reason this area deserves the Ci�'s attention. This project has direci ties to all of West Seventh and specifically to downtown. It is intended to provi� economic ben�t to businesses along West Seventh as well as increase interest in sites and activities located downtown. TrafficlSafety Concerns West Seventh poses special saCetg considerations lhat deserve specific atteution and shou(d be faken into account in planning development of llie area. The area is a uansiaon zone witti a frceway that ends abmplly in a mi�d use ace. The area has many chiidren and seniors and has had severai serious accidenzs. Eartier this year Saint Paul PuUlic Works proposed ctosing some streets that intersect West Seventh. Rather then be reactive to dangerous siWations, il would make sense to incorporate trafiic nianagement into an overall plan.

Fn Navember 1495, Council member Hartis designated this area as a"targeY' in the 199? budget and plan. After meetings with Council mttnber Harris, the community and elected officia]s, we agreed in May that a new planningtdavelopment gpcu, is appmp�iate and recommended a hroader efforc than the 40-acre study originally requested. 2. We've met with area residents, with property owners, a�d �� Coznmunity Council and have found broad support for zhe project. 3. We've agzeed with the initiation schedule preferred by ihe Community Council, that is to begin with a kick-off community meeting in September. 4. We've expiained the interest in a second-phase planning effort to the Neighborhoods and Land Use Committee of the Saint Pau1 Pianning Cammission, azsd they aze e�cpecting to act on an initiating resolution at their Au�ust 18 meeting. 5. We bave determined that a well-defined and illusaated development concept is likely an important product for this effort, az►d aze exploring, with the Community CounciI leadership, resources that aught be tapped to secure the am.hitecturaUurban design taient that wouid be fielpfut. b. We have developed some alternative ideas for the process and are lookzng at the design chatetce model used successfuily for the precinct planning in the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Develapment Framework process as one means to engage a number of people and interests and ideas in a sfiart time. We wili be reviewing ideas far the schedule and process with aosnmunity representatives and the Planning Commission. 7. We have worked with Council member Hazris and Disfrict Council President 5hawn Baitsh and we are suggestins a pianning azea bounded by Edgecumbe, St. Paul Ave., W.1th Strcez, Rankin Ave and Shepazd Road. A map is attached. We have had a base map prepazed for the study area and have begun the work of gathering background information. EP 30 '97 12�31 PAGE.12 � ocr-sd-1997 1Z�34 P.13 �� 8. In addirion to these pianning steps, we have begun, with Pamela Wheelock, a sezious exploration of PEB/City implementation tools for initiating development. We would like to be cieaz enough about resources and imple.meatation tooIs so that the planaing work can be closely linked with action steps. 9. The Pianning Commission resolurian will idemify repzeseatation needed for the task force. We have suggested: Communi#y CounciI co-chair, Planniug Cosamission co-chair, an additioaal Community Couacil member, tUree residenuaI groperty owness, three commercialf'mdustrial property owaers, a West ?th/Fort Road Business Association represeatative, a Parks Commission representafive, a neighborhood social service agency and e St. Paul Riverfiont Corparation Representative. 10. The process outline we aze discussing now wanld mean complefion of a draft plan foi communiry review by March. That is ambitious, particularIy with the holiday season inten+ening, but we would like to keep the process conc'sse and moving as rapidly as is reasonable. 11. As faz as the scope of issues is concerned, we believe the plan should focus primarity on development options for the ereas aear Davern 5ueet between West 7th and 3hepard Road. But these should be considezed in the broader context of the role of this larger area as a gateway to the city and one end of an important oonridor to downtown as well as a link with the river valley. Direction for oiher improvements tv strengthen the azea's functioxi and ohazactez and contr'sburion to both the city and the neighbnrhood should be part of the plan.

I deplare the idea that Govemment ca�i impose this type of action -- taking away a business/ prop- erty ownet's legal rights -- on a wlvm! This, in my opinion is a VERY SCARY thought as a busi- ness owner and property owner -- fliat one day someone in Govenm�ent could arbitrarily decide to impose a moratorium against anyone for any reasoni Let's remember what county we live in! It is especially disheartening when you consider iliat only 3 other moratoriums have evet been imposed here -- one instance involved a pomograpt�y business, one involved a gun shop and the fhird involved a company putting pollutants into 8�e Mississippi Rsver. Mr. Middleton has done notl�ing wrong, or even controversiaL He is anexemplarybusiness neighbor, wl�o has gone "above arnl beyond", serving the communiiy for many years. He recentiy spent hundreds ofthousands of dollazs improving the appearance and value ofthe properiy in question. He has served tl�e West End area and greater St, Paul area for many years as a leader in issues such as economic development and commercial revihlization, to name otily a couple. This action is a travesty and should notbe tolerated! Please take some time today, before fl�e 3:30 PM hearing, to understand whaYs really going on here. IYs a scary world we live in when a select few individuals decide for wl�at ever reasons, that 8�ey aze jusfified in taking away a person's ]egal rigltts ... and then aze able to convince others to agree.

MAC pazking director Greg Leean has proposed a set of changes that would inciude rais- ing the daily rate from $24 to $36 in the short-term ramp in front of the terminal — in an effort to discourage iong-term parkers from monopolizing short-term Sp�LS. The proposal would increase weekly rates from $60 to $96 in the general long-term parking , ramp. Gasper has reservations about raising rates to change paxking habits. Fie said the MAC takes great cue to keep costs down for the airlines bnt does not show the same concem for wnsumers. "We claim to be one of the cheapest airports in the country. But if we are gaing to try to be an economical airport, then we should try for both �airline and consumer] sides," he said. MAC financial reports show that the airport makes more on pazking than on airtine landing THi7RSDAY, AUGUST 7 y 1997 fees. Thruugh the second quartei of this year, landing fees had broughtin about $9 millinn,and pazking iees had generated al- most $16 million. The total ex- pected for the yeaz is about $23 million &om landing fees and ahout $32 million 8om pazking. Commissioner John Himie of' Bloomington favors raising rates to reduce pazking demand. "YJhether it's highways or waste management issues, we simply don't have the collective pubiic resources to keep building, building, building," Himle said. "We also need to pay attention to how we manage demand. `If the airport took the posi- tion that we will build infrastruc- ture without regazd to having tried to manage demand, that would frankiy be an 'uresponsible use of public resources," he said. "And sa I view the increase in the pazk3ng rates, which will only fall on about one-third of the users, as one tooi in managing parking demand." �__% �� .l2-� :i - i i , i 19'T8 Ford Parkway, St Panl MN 55116 Buiiding a Setter Commanity Ttuough Citizen Pazticip Iuty 7,1997 s��a�n President �� vce Pre9dent ScottBtmin ��Y M� Moeller Trr�asura Memt�ers Cnid I: Kutt Schreck Grid 2: Reede Websler G:id 3: Scott B�m Crrid4: VickyDimWiDi�s Grid 5: I3�a Caopes Gtid 6: Gseg Klem� Grid 7: Ivfaik Mcellea Grid 8: Ken Jeff�on Grid 9: Sieglinde Biet Grid lU: Sfiaan BarLsh Cuid Il:duisBerg Grid 12: Vaoaira KoscLak At I azge Rick I}dg�ais neg Mcc3ee �� ohn Crrtqbek BA avid Biaiey t� nY� ol�scheid nmunitY oig�nizea de summeas 4 F�d Pmkway '�1 MN 55116 4138 F�298-5139 David McUonnell Saint Paul Planning commission City Hall Annex ZS West 4�' Street SainiPaul MN 55102 Dear Mr. McDonnell; � ��cE�v�� JUL 0 8 i997 1�4{CHAEL NARR[S As yaa may know, last FECember the F3'ighiand Area Community Council sent a letter w ihe Planning Commission requestiug that a 40 Acre Studv be done for the area surtounding Shepatd and Davern streets.

Fn Navember 1495, Council member Hartis designated this area as a"targeY' in the 199? budget and plan. After meetings with Council mttnber Harris, the community and elected officia]s, we agreed in May that a new planningtdavelopment gpcu, is appmp�iate and recommended a hroader efforc than the 40-acre study originally requested. 2. We've met with area residents, with property owners, a�d �� Coznmunity Council and have found broad support for zhe project. 3. We've agzeed with the initiation schedule preferred by ihe Community Council, that is to begin with a kick-off community meeting in September. 4. We've expiained the interest in a second-phase planning effort to the Neighborhoods and Land Use Committee of the Saint Pau1 Pianning Cammission, azsd they aze e�cpecting to act on an initiating resolution at their Au�ust 18 meeting. 5. We bave determined that a well-defined and illusaated development concept is likely an important product for this effort, az►d aze exploring, with the Community CounciI leadership, resources that aught be tapped to secure the am.hitecturaUurban design taient that wouid be fielpfut. b. We have developed some alternative ideas for the process and are lookzng at the design chatetce model used successfuily for the precinct planning in the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Develapment Framework process as one means to engage a number of people and interests and ideas in a sfiart time. We wili be reviewing ideas far the schedule and process with aosnmunity representatives and the Planning Commission. 7. We have worked with Council member Hazris and Disfrict Council President 5hawn Baitsh and we are suggestins a pianning azea bounded by Edgecumbe, St. Paul Ave., W.1th Strcez, Rankin Ave and Shepazd Road. A map is attached. We have had a base map prepazed for the study area and have begun the work of gathering background information. EP 30 '97 12�31 PAGE.12 � ocr-sd-1997 1Z�34 P.13 �� 8. In addirion to these pianning steps, we have begun, with Pamela Wheelock, a sezious exploration of PEB/City implementation tools for initiating development. We would like to be cieaz enough about resources and imple.meatation tooIs so that the planaing work can be closely linked with action steps. 9. The Pianning Commission resolurian will idemify repzeseatation needed for the task force. We have suggested: Communi#y CounciI co-chair, Planniug Cosamission co-chair, an additioaal Community Couacil member, tUree residenuaI groperty owness, three commercialf'mdustrial property owaers, a West ?th/Fort Road Business Association represeatative, a Parks Commission representafive, a neighborhood social service agency and e St. Paul Riverfiont Corparation Representative. 10. The process outline we aze discussing now wanld mean complefion of a draft plan foi communiry review by March. That is ambitious, particularIy with the holiday season inten+ening, but we would like to keep the process conc'sse and moving as rapidly as is reasonable. 11. As faz as the scope of issues is concerned, we believe the plan should focus primarity on development options for the ereas aear Davern 5ueet between West 7th and 3hepard Road. But these should be considezed in the broader context of the role of this larger area as a gateway to the city and one end of an important oonridor to downtown as well as a link with the river valley. Direction for oiher improvements tv strengthen the azea's functioxi and ohazactez and contr'sburion to both the city and the neighbnrhood should be part of the plan.

I deplare the idea that Govemment ca�i impose this type of action -- taking away a business/ prop- erty ownet's legal rights -- on a wlvm! This, in my opinion is a VERY SCARY thought as a busi- ness owner and property owner -- fliat one day someone in Govenm�ent could arbitrarily decide to impose a moratorium against anyone for any reasoni Let's remember what county we live in! It is especially disheartening when you consider iliat only 3 other moratoriums have evet been imposed here -- one instance involved a pomograpt�y business, one involved a gun shop and the fhird involved a company putting pollutants into 8�e Mississippi Rsver. Mr. Middleton has done notl�ing wrong, or even controversiaL He is anexemplarybusiness neighbor, wl�o has gone "above arnl beyond", serving the communiiy for many years. He recentiy spent hundreds ofthousands of dollazs improving the appearance and value ofthe properiy in question. He has served tl�e West End area and greater St, Paul area for many years as a leader in issues such as economic development and commercial revihlization, to name otily a couple. This action is a travesty and should notbe tolerated! Please take some time today, before fl�e 3:30 PM hearing, to understand whaYs really going on here. IYs a scary world we live in when a select few individuals decide for wl�at ever reasons, that 8�ey aze jusfified in taking away a person's ]egal rigltts ... and then aze able to convince others to agree.
