�t�CEIV�D
JUN ia1990
Counc i 1 Chai r-Person Wi 11 iam Wi lson r!.`.,�, C4E��(
and the St . Paul City Council :
I am a developer in the City of St . Paul ( specifically the
District 6 Area) . Our company, Total Asphalt , employs approximately
t
140 people in your City, and has been in business for 53 years.
Another developer in that area who shares our concerns is The Austin
P. Keller Company, who employ even more people and have been an
established business in this City for a number of years . Between our
two organizations , I conservatively estimate that we have paid
millions of dollars in taxes into this community over the years , and
have employed thousands of workers . Recently, it has been brought to
our attention that a vote is coming before this Council on June 19th
to impose a 1 year moratorium on the issuance of building permits in
the District 6 area. The basic premise behind the moratorium is a
very good one; it is to allow time for a plan to be developed , so
that the future growth and construction in the area can be
controlled . This is probably long overdue, and will greatly enhance
both District 6 and the City of St . Paul as a whole. Obviously that
benefits all of the developers as well . However , I do have a number
of concerns that I wish the Council to consider prior to voting on
the proposed Ordinance. They are as follows:
1 . Between myself and Austin P. Keller , we have in excess of 55
developable lots in the District 6 area. These lots were all
. � _ 9v - �S�
purchased long before there had been any discussion regarding a
moratorium. When the moratorium itself was first proposed to us , it
was at a District 6 Land Use meeting. Initially the moratorium period
was to be 6 months long , and I whole-heartedly supported it . It is
easy to see that slow, controlled growth pursuant to a well-conceived
plan can only help enhance that or any other area. However , the time
period for the moratorium has now been set at 1 year , with a possible
extension for up to 2 and 1 /2 years. A 1 year moratorium imposes an
extreme financial hardship on me, and the other developers as well .
Anything longer than that would have devastating effects on both my
business and my family. �
2. The only way to alleviate these effects , if the moratorium is f
to last for at least one year, is to immediately have the process of
developing the plan commenced immediately, and monitored thoroughly,
by the City. There is some uncertainty among City Staff inembers as to
how quickly all of this can be accomplished . Ms. Shelly Van Kampen
assures me that the District 6 committee has already been
established; the City must get a case worker from PED immediately
established , in order to get all of this work done in a timely and
efficient manner .
3. I need to also know what work can be done during the
moratorium period . I have a # of jobs started that are directly tied
in with the City' s sewer separation projects. Any delay in grading
would seriously affect these projects. I realize that the proposed
ordinance indicates that these on-going projects ( for which I already
� � �a ��
have permits) would not be affected; I simply need to be assured of
this.
In short , I intend to do everything possible to continue helping
to develop District 6 in a manner which benefits both District 6 and
the City of St . Paul . I have made a substantial financial commitment
to this effect . I am simply asking for the City' s help &
consideration to see to it that my investment of time and money is
mutually beneficial .
Sincerely,
� ` ,
Ed Kieger

Council Chair-Person William Wilson
and the St . Paul City Council
In our haste to get a letter to you prior to today' s vote, we
made one error in that letter . Under point #2, I incorrectly stated
that the initial proposed moratorium period was 6 months; it was
actually 6 weeks . I apologize for any inconvenience.
Sincerely ,
Ed Kieger
