Dear Madam:
This is in response to the petition of Becker's, Inc. to rezone property on the
northwest corner of Randolph and Bay Streets. This property is further described
as Lot 28, Kerst's Subdivision, Block 33, of Stinsons, Brown & Ramsey's Addition.
The petition was to rezone from RM-1 , a Multiple Family Residential district, to
B-2, Community Business district. The purpose of this request was to permit the
petitioners to expand their existing structure for additional storage purposes.
This matter was heard by the Current Planning & Zoning Commi��ee on February 3,
1977 at which time the petitioner was present and there was no opposition. The
staff recommended denial on the basis that this would constitute a spot rezoning.
Mr. Sherwood then moved to grant the rezoning since it was an existing use,
with no objections from neighbors, and that the expansion would improve the
appearance. There was no second to the motion and the matter was sent to the
Planning Commission without recommendation.
On February 11 , 1977, the Planning Commission heard this matter. Mrs. Cochrane
made the motion to recommend granting the B-2 petition. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Sherwood and was passed on a 10 to 4 roll call vote.
This matter is scheduled to be heard before the St. Paul City Council on
March 17, 1977.
Sincerely,
�C.��v��l'�t

� � � � - , MINUTES OF THE CURRENT PLANNING & ZONING COMMITTEE MEETINC,
" THURSD�Y, FEBRUARY 3, 1977 IN CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, ST PAUL
PRESENT: Messrs. Humner, Sherwood and Bryan of the Current Planning & Zoning
Comnittee; Mr. Philip Byrne, Assistant City Attorney; Mr. Richard Amey of the
Division of Housin� & Building Code Enforcement; Miss Fox and Mr. Laurence
Jung of the Planninq Staff.
BECKERS, INC�. �80_70 An ap�lication to rezone from RM-1 to B-2 property
locate�on the 1�ort�iwest corner of Randolph and Bay, 1n St. Paul .
The appellant was present. There was no opposition.
Mr. Jung showed slides of the subject site and read the Staff Report.
Mr. Warren Peterson, an attorney, of 307 Midwest Federal Building, representing
David, John and Daniel Becker, owners of the bar at 730 Randolph, came forward
and related how the three brothers had purchased the bar in April of 1975,
that David operates the bar on a full time basis and his two brothers help on
weekends. He said that the structure has a problem with the basement, which
has been carved out of stone, and therefore when it rains, there is water in
the basement. He said the cooler in the basement cannot function because of
the water situation. He said the structure was built in 1921 and has
functioned as a bar ever since, but needs a great deal of improvement, such as
replacement of electrical and ventilating. He told of complaints by the Health
Department about failure to repair a wall , replacinq tile, etc. , and added that
the boiler does not work correctly either. He said that the Health Department
is holding off until after this February 3rd hearing. He said the Becker
brothers have told him it will take $80,000 to brinq the buildinq up to the
proper standards. He said the structure alonqside, 12 ft. wide and 71 ft. long,
would serve as storaqe and as bathrooms. The intent was to tear down a wall
which would give access to the entire bar, enablinq the owners to better control
the business operation. He said neighbors have no objections to the rezoninq
and have even offered to help because they want to see improvement made to the
neighborhood. Ne said the Becker family intends to continue the bar and not
sell , but in order to have the structure they want, it is necessary to have
the building alongside which is now vacant.
Mr. Hummer inquired whether the nextdoor neighbor was aware that the proposed
building would come up to the lot line, and Mr. Peterson answered that the
nextdoor neighbor was interested in having the property rezoned because she
feels it will improve the visual aspect.
Mr. Humner then inqWired about the parking situation, and Mr. Peterson told
him that parking was no problem, and that by the rezoning they hope to accomplish
only utflizatiorr of the space of the added building, not added capacity, and hope
. also to br�ng the building up to code.
Mr. Bryan wanted to know if the new buildinq would require additional parkinq,
and Mr. Amey said the proposed addition is for storaqe, and that the zoning
code requires additional parking only for useable floor area. He said this
particular addition would not add useab�e floor space and would require no
additional parking, and that the parkinq spaces they have now really constitute
all you can ask for.

BECKERS, ZNC. Page 2
Mr. Sherwood inquired whether the condition of the basement has anything to do
with what they are trying to do to the building, and Mr. Peterson responded by
saying that they intend to close the basement and not use it for anything.
He said the addition would qive them space for the cooler, refriqerator, etc.
and would improve the present bad condition.
Mr. Hummer asked whether the basement could be fixed up to be useable with a
sump pump, etc. , using the $80,000 they intended to spend.
Mr. Sherwood said he was inclined to move that this request be qranted, because
the building has been there for many years, the neighbors do not object, and
when remodeled, he would think it w��a�� be an additional compliment to the
neighborhood.
There was no second to Mr. Sherwood's motion.
Mr. Bryan said there was no motion because there was no second, and that the
rezoning will be sent to the Planninq Comnission without a recomnendation from
the Current Planning & Zoning Comnittee.

7. PURSUANT T0 Zoning Code Chapter: 64 Section: 210 Paragraph:
8. STAFF INVESTIGATION & REPORT: Date: January 26, 1977 By: LJJ
A. SUFFICIENCY: The appellant's request for rezoning was filed on a short form
rezoning petition, subscribed & sworn to before a notary public on December 6,
1976, and received by the City Planning Office on December 28, 1976.
B. PROPOSED USE: The appellant is requesting to rezone from RM-1 (Multi-Family
Residentia District) to B-2 (Comnunity Business Qistrict), in order to allow
for a proposed storage expansion.
C. FRONTAGE & AREA: The corner site has a 43 ft. frontage on Randolph and is
4 ft. deep. The area is 4,902 sq. ft.
D. SITE CONDITIONS: The site is occupied by a one-story, brick structure which
ouses an on-sale liquor bar. The site and surrounding properites are flat
and slightly above street grade. An alley behind provides minimal separation
from adjacent residential uses. It also provides access to a small parking
area behind the building. A wooden privacy type fence is situated on the west
property line separating the bar from the adjacent single family house. Between
the fence and this building there is an ohen area of about 15 ft. which is the
site indicated for the proposed expansion.
E. AREA CONDITIONS: The area is fully developed with a variety of land use types
predominantly residential in character. An older 6-unit apartment structure
occupies the northeast corner of the intersection. Other residential units in
the area are older, well-kept single and two-family dwellings on fairly small
lots. A fire station occupies a mid-block location on Randolph to the southwest
of the subject site. Nearest other commercial uses are situated to the east,
west and south, and are all one block away from the site.
F. FINDINGS:
l . Former zoning along Randolph was comnercial d,uring which time the use on
the site was established as a neighborhood bar.
2. This section of Randolph Avenue is fully developed as a residential area
but there does exist small comnercial establishments at a number of
intersections along its route.
;
. . �
� .
BECKERS, INC. Page 2
3. Closest B-2 zone to the subject site is near6y a block away to the east and
south along West 7th Street. A B-1 district is in existence one block to
the west.
G. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: The petitioner has indicated he wishes to expand his
structure on t e west side for storage purposes since the basement of the
existing structure is limited. The B-2 designation would enable the proposed
addition to be constructed. However, the rezoning would likely constitute a
spot zoning because of the incompatibility of use with the surrounding resi-
dential area. The limited size of the site and the fact that this is the
only commercial use at the intersection also affirms that the rezoni�Q 4rould
be inappropriate for the area. Therefore, Staff recommends that the W
petitioner's request to rezone to 6-2 be denied.

FOREWORD
St. Paul, Cleveland, Houston and Los Angeles were selected as
demonstration cities for the federal Downtown People Mover (DPM) Pro-
gram, a simple horizontal elevator type system for circulation within
downtown areas. The DPM Program will provide operating data, planning
tools and experience that other cities can utilize in solving the trans-
portation needs of the inner city.
The St. Paul system will complement a growing public skyway system
(second-level walkways) and encourage an orderly revitalization of the
various activity areas withi.n the downtown area. A complete description
of the project can be found in the June, 1976, "Proposal for a Downtown
�
� People Mover System".. This phase of the program, Preliminary Engineering,
will provide all ma�erials needed to initiate the design and construction of
the DPM in St. Paul.
This document provides the project description for Phase I and the
scope of work to be accomplished during that period May, 1977 - January,
197 8. The resulting Implementation Plan (for Phase II) will contain
such ma.jor products as:
• Preliminary Engineering 1/
• Safety and Reliability Program
• Procurement Bid Package for Vehicle System
• Environmental Impact Assessment and Statement
Upon satisfactory completion of the Implementation Plan, the capital
grant will be amended to permit proceeding into Phase II; Design and
_ Construction of the DPM Program.
1/ Preliminary Engineering: Preparation of Criteria, preli.mi.nary plans
and specifications for stations and guideways.
-�(,-
The Implementation Plan will be accompanied by an Experimental
Design Plan (Ex D) as the framework to be used by both local agencies
and UMTA in evaluating the DPM deployment in St. Paul.

PART I - PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. PURPOSE
The Downtown People Mover (DPM) Demonstration Program for St. Paul is in-
tended to implement those regional policies 2./ of the Metropolitan Council
adopted to help revitalize the Metropolitan Center 3/ of St. Paul and
at the same time demonstrate for National evaluation the technical and
socio-economic feasibility of a simple horizontal elevator-type transit
system operating in an urban environment. Relevant regional policies
include:
1. Discouraqe the use of automobiles in those areas where
air quality is unacceptable if automobile emissions
are a major contribution to the degradation of the air.
2. Provide good accessibility to and within the Metro
Centers for both public and private transportation
vehicles.
3. Encourage living in the Metro Centers by providing
a circulation system with a high level of all-day
service for residential developments surrounding the
central business district core.
4. Emphasize pedestrian movement in the Metro Centers by:
a) concentrating parking facilities on the fringe
of the core area;
b) linking the parking facilities to the core area
with skyways and a downtown circulation system.
Objectives 4/ of the=Federa.I demonstration program are:
a. To test the operating and maintenance (O&M) cost savings
which automated transit systems might deliver;
b. To assess the economic impact of improved downtown cir-
culation systems on the central city;
c. To test the feasibility of people movers both as feeder
distributors and as potential substitutes for certain
functions now performed by more expensive fixed guideway
systems, such as subways;
2./ Transportation Development Guide/Policy Plan, Metropolitan Council,
July 30, 1976.
3/ The Metro Center consists of the central business district and adjacent
�.� residential, commercial, and institutional areas.
4/ Program Plan - The Downtown People Mover (DPM) Project, UMTA, May 21, 1976.
d. Establish that automated, relatively simple people mover
systems can be made sufficiently reliable and maintain�ble
while providing adequate service availability at affordable
costs, to be a viable urban txansit alternative;
e. Establish the social acceptability of automated unmanned
transit vehicle operation and the environmental impact of
modern guideways in the urban (CBD) environment; and,
f. Thoroughly document the entire project, including an evalua-
tion of system performance, the social, economic, and
environmental iunpacts of the DPM installation, the lessons
leamed from the project, and a set of guidelines and pro-
cedures that cauld be emulated by other potential candidate
cities.
Precisely how these policies and Program objectives are to be realized are
described in the document: "Proposal for a Downtown People Mover System,"
City of St. Paul and Metropolitan Transit Commission, June, 1976, (Exhibit
A, Attachment 1) .
Supplementing the proposal are the following letters (Exhibit A, Attachment 3) :
l. July 29, 1976, letter to Steven A. Barsony from Doug Kelm
(with attachment) .
2. August 29, 1976, letter to Steven A. Barsony from Doug
Kelm (with attachment) .
3. October 1, 1976, letter to George Pastor from Doug Kelm
(with attachment) .
4. November 26, 1976, letter to George Pastor from Doug
Kelm and Mayor Latimer.
5. December 10, 1976, letter to Robert E. Patricelli from
Robert Van Hoef (with attachment) .
The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) in its selection of
St. Paul as one of four sites for a demonstration of a people mover
system requested the submittal of a "two-phase 5/ (controlled 6/) capital
grant application for engineering and construction funding in accordance
with the guideli.nes contained in our DPM Program Plan". 7/ The purpose
of this capital qrant application is to secure federal funding for Phase
One - Preliminary Engineering and Related Activities.
5/ Phase one: award of funds for Preliminary Engineering; Phase two: award
of funds for design engineering, construction and testing.
6/ Controlled Capital Assistance Program: UMTA has determined that there
are special needs in this project for technical review and monitoring,
� techological qualification of the chosen system design, and support
_ from UMTA funds for efforts that could not be otherwise funded under
the Capital Assistance Program.

C. PROGRAM AND PROJECT ORGANIZATION
' The Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC) as the region's transit agency
� and grant recipient would have responsibility for DPM program administra-
tion including preliminary engineering activities. UMTA management will
be conducted by the Office of Technology Development and Deployment (UTD)
and responsibilities will include project monitoring, review and approval
of applicable grantee activities.
The City of Saint Paul has a major interest in station area development,
and station location, whereas the MTC is concerned primarily with transit
planning, engineering, construction, equipping and operation of the DPM
system. Therefore, it is proposed this program be conti.nued as a joint
venture between the City and the MTC in accordance with the attached agree-
ment (Exhi.bit A, Attachment 4) . In addition, community and technical
advisory units would be established. The proposed project organization is
shown in Figure 2.
The Steering Committee will provide overall direction of the project
through the appropriate staff. The Chief Administrator of the MTC will
assist the committee on major policy matters and assure administrative
support for proper project management. �
The MTC Transit Development staff will be responsible for overall project
direction and for the technical supervision of the guideway and vehicle system
elements of the project. The St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (or
its successor) will provide the Deputy Director for the project and will be
responsible for technical supervision of all station area activities.
In Phase II (design, construction, system integration and testing� , it is
` , * It is proposed a portion of the Selby Tunnel and the segment contiguous
to the east portal be completed early and used for inclement weather tests.

anticipated the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) will
provide technical supervision for all civil and structural activities.
In preparation for Phase I2, Mn/DOT will provide an Associate Director
for this project during Phase I.
The Technical Task Force would be established by the region's Technical
Advisory Committee in accordance with its By-Laws. The Community Advisory
Committee members would be selected with representation as agreed upon
by (1) the Mayor of St. Paul, (2) the City Council, (3) the MTC, and
(4) the Metropolitan Council. The Urban Development Committee would be
primarily concerned with coordination of all downtown development projects
affected by the DPM, and its members would be appointed by the Mayor of
Saint Paul.
The above committees would be organized at the beginning of the project
with meetings scheduled as the work tasks required advice or review. As
a minimum, six workshops (public meetings) (S�e Task 3.2. of Part II) will
be scheduled at key points in the project (See Figure One of Part I) , and
the several committee activities will relate to these public meetings.
After each workshop, summaries of both the meeting and the completed work
tasks to date will be provided to the Metropolitan Council, the St. Paul
City Council, the St. Paul Planning Commission, and the Metropolitan
Transit Commission. At least four presentations by the MTC or St. Paul
will be scheduled on the Physical Development Comm:i.ttee agenda, each
summarizing the tasks completed and focusing on those issues of interest
to the Council, including:
; City of St. Paul interim development strategy (Workshop A) .
�
System Design (Workshop B) - as it relates to the Council's Transporta-
tion Policy Plan and St. Paul's development program.
System Patronage (Workshop C)
System Financing (Workshop F)
The project, because of its scope and complexity will require a technical
team approach; a team consisting of professionals from the agencies
involved and consultants representing special skills and disciplines.
Two major roles are necessary: (1) coordination of all development
activities within the project and (2) coordination with those downtown
development projects directly affecting the project. A local firm
experienced in urban development and with some transportation planning/
engineering skill will be selected for DPM Project Coordination. This
will also require the ability to secure work commitments from the
appropriate public agencies.
A firm skilled at fixed guideway transit system design and construction
will be selected to conduct the major system design tasks and coordinate
other needed special disciplines as the System Design Coordinator. Other
skills required are indicated by the activities listed on Figure 2.
Consultant selection will be conducted in accordance with the MTC's
administrative regul.ations.
D. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
A major rationale for the DPM is to serve as a stimulus and catalyst
-7-
for downtown development. Conversely, much of the projected ridership
on the DPM depends on concurrent developments located in close proximity
to the stations. To accomplish early and effective revitalization of the
downtown area, close coordination of development projects is necessary.
The Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority will provide coordina-
tion of the downtown development projects with the DPM. During Phase I
of this program, design and, in some cases construction, will start on
the following projects affecting the DPM:
1. Park Square Tower A (Block 36)
2. Radisson Hotel (Block A)
3. Seventh Place Retail & Office Towers (Block 27)
4. Seventh Place - 5 block Pedestrian Mall
5. Seventh Place Galleria
6. St. Paul Civic Center Additions
7. Capitol Approach Building .
The DPM Project Coordinator will work closely with HRA staff to assure
optimum coordination of the DPM project with other developments.
-8-
PART II - SCOPE OF WORK (for Phase I)
A series of work tasks have been developed by type of activity rather �
than type of skill or discipline. Withi.n each task a series of sub-
tasks are described to indicate the nature of the activity and to
suggest a sequence of events.
The work program described in this Part includes suggested tasks to
be accomplished by the entire team; agency staff participants and
consultants. Primary and major responsibilities are identified for
each task.
Task 1.0 MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
Overview ,
From a local perspective, the DPM program is a joint venture of the •
City of St. Paul and the MTC; both sharing in costs and benefits. The
primary rationale for the DPM is the revitalization of the downtown
area. It is also a federal demonstration of the ability of government
and the transit industry to deliver a Shuttle-Loop Transit System in an
urban application. Project management, task coordination and public/
private development coordination is established on these pri.nciples.
Sub-Tasks
,
l.l Prepare and i.unplement an agreement between the City of St. Paul
and the MTC for the conduct of this project.

Ta'sk 4A REFINEMENT OF RIDERSHIP ESTIMATES
Overview
The proposal for the St. Paul DPM included ridership estimates for
three development situations and for three levels of ridership (low,
medium and high) within each development situation. The median level
forecasts for the 1980 development situation were used as the basis of
revenue projections and were input to the operating costs. In refining
the ridership esti.mates developed in the proposal a station-to-station
matrix will be developed for daily travel, peak-hour, and off-peak hour.
These trip tables will be developed for three development situations:
Development Situation A (1980) , Development Situation B (1985) , and
Development Situation C (1990) . Maximum/minimum reasonable esti.m�tes
will be developed and the assumptions identified for each.
Sub-Tasks
4.1 Update certain data bases (employment, dwelling units, park-ride
spaces, bus transfers, etc.) on block basis. Prepare basic
assumptions. Obtain review of Technical Task Force.
4.2 Update forecasts of new development for the three development
situations.
4.3 Identify the sensitivity of the critical elements that influence
the expected ridership of the DPM, i.e. , fares, development sta-
tistics, trip generation rates, etc. Obtain review of Technical
Task Force.
4.4 Develop by trip purpose daily, peak-hour and off-peak hour estimates
for the three development situations defined in Sub-Task 4.2.
Obtain review of Technical Task Force.
4.5 Develop station-to-station estimates for daily, peak-hour and
off-peak hour for the three development situations. Identify
critical links for each situation.
4.6 Refine estimates of park-ride needs and bus loading area needs.
-12-
4.7 Establish total travel to downtown area due to induced development. .
4.8 Conduct preliminary analysis of special situations, i.e. , special
events, system extensions, unusual development situations, etc.
Responsibility
The City of St. Paul would have primary responsibility for Sub-Tasks
4.1 and 4.2 and the ridership forecast consultant would complete Sub-
Tasks 4.3 - 4.8.
Task 4B DETAILED RIDERSHIP AND REVENUE ESTIMATES
Overview
Fi.nal ridership and revenue estimates will be prepared after develop-
ing and evaluating a series of operating plans, after considering the
several design options, and after revising the methodology to predict
ridership on the basis of the special studies.
Sub-Tasks

Task 5.0 ANALYSIS OF RIDERSHIP MARt�T
Overview
The usage of a new transportation mode not previously available to potential
users is difficult to forecast because no data on simi.lar situations is
available. A good example of this is the skyway system; many of the trips
on the system are trips that are previously not made as opposed to being
made on outdoor sidewalks. However, estimates of expected usage of the
-13-
. � ridership on the DPM, are very important in developing revenue projections
and i.n sizing the vehicle system. Therefore, special studies are required
to develop the best possible information on user group travel patterns on
the DPM. Some of the special studies are listed below. Additional studies
will be completed to further analyze the critical elements defined in Task 4a.
Sub-Tasks
