Corporation Counsel of the City of Saint Paul City Hall and Court House sd nt Paul 2, Minnesota Dear Mr. Hurley: I submitted to you under date of February 27, 1957, a brief explanation: of the' revised Redevelopment Plan which the Authority was at that time about to adopt, together with a proposed Resolution for adoption by the City Council approv- ing the revised Plan. Since the date of that letter, I have conferredrin Chicago with the regional officials of the Urban Renewal Administration and have received their informal approval of the revised Plan and of the proposed Resolution for a- doption by the City Council, with only one very minor change, which I wish to com-' ment upon in this letter. On March 6, 1957 the Housing and Redevelopment Authority by its Resolu— tion No. 57-12, adopted the revised Redevelopment Plan, and we now wish to file the revised Plan with the Council and ask its approval' as promptly as possible. I am enclosing for your further information a copy of the revised Plan as :now formally adopted by the Authority Marchi 6, 1957, and a copy of the Authority's adopting Resolution. I also submit a revision of the proposed Resolution for the City Cou cil which'I sent you on February 27. The only change in the resolution is at'tlik'� top of page 4, where you will note we are somewhat more specific as to .the nature of the changes which are made. The proposed Resolution, as now cor- rected, meets with the approval of the legal counsel of the Urban Renewal Adminis- tration, and we hope you will now advise the Council that it may properly be adopted in the form submitted. Attached you will find a copy of my legal opinion to Mr. John P. McCollum, Regional Administrat6r, Housing and Home Finance Agency, relat- ing to the legality of the proposed revision of the Plan and its effect on pend- ing litigation. The litigation referred to is,the Greenman case involving the testing of the constitutionality of the redevelopment provisions of the Minnesota Housing Act. It is quite possible that you may also adsh todreview and comment to the City Council on the effect of such litigation on the proposed revision of Plan. Marshall F. Hurley, Esq. -2- March 11, 1957 In my letter of February 27, 1957, I suggested that..the Council should set a time for a public hearing upon the revised Plan and that notice of this hearing be published with the regular Saturday' publication of Council proceedings not less than ten days before the hearing. The regular publication of Council proceedings is in the°6t. Paul Legal hedger.. M.S.A. 452.521,'Subd. 1, requires "not less than ten days' published notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality." There may be some question as to, whether publication in the St. Paul Legal Ledger will meet this requirement of publication in a newspaper of general circulation. We would therefore request that the notice of hearing also be published in the St. Paul Pioneer -Press and Dispatch. Mr. B. Warner Shippee, Executive Director of the Authority, will very shortly be making a formal presentation of the revised Plan to the Council, with a request for the holding of a public hearing and approval.

Hurley, Esquire Corporation Counsel City Hall and Court House Saint Paul 2, Minnesota Dear Mr. Hurley: Redevelo menu `. The goosing and. p Authority of the City. of Saint'Paul, Min- neaota originally adopted Redevelopment Plans for.the Eastern.and We%liern Redev elopment Projects (Pro�scts UR Minn. 1-1 and 1-2) on Febrdar�v 5a 1952 and adopted, certain amendmenis.thereto on February 16, 1953• The 0ity Council, after a public.. hearing he7d;in compliance with the requirements of.MSA 462.5211 subd: 1, approved the original pians for Resolution adopted March 6� 1952 (Council File No. 159030), and later al the" amendments by Resolution adopted-March10, 195Y ('Council File No'. 163108). The Authority has subseque my totov the necessary financ- 'Contract with theRousing and Home Finance Agency ing for these projects. The Authority has now proposad'and is about to adopt a revised Redev- elopment Plan for the Western Redevelopment Area, Project UR Minn. 1-2• Several minor-changes in the Plan were `required because, of .refinements' the street$and, Area Plan as approved by the City Planning Board and in'the-adjacent highway system. Rather than make these minor changes in .the form of a second rat- separate set of Amendments to the original Plan, the�horityy hYs Jan the irst setcof�Amend- ed these charges, together with the changes incorporated aments,,into,a:simplified and completely revised:Redsvelopment Plana This revised p 'Plan is not new in the sense that" it constitutes an abandonment of the original Plan, but, actually constitutes-a re.adoption'and`reaffirmation of the original - Plan, as revised. The revision is drafted ;Insuch form as to eliminate future need for reference io the earlier Plan and supporting documents. I submit herewith for your examination a proposed Resolution for adop- tion by the City Council approving'this,revised Plan. If-you will compare this Resolution with the original Council oaction of March 6, 1952,-you will find that ,.i Marshall F. Hurley, Esquire -2- February 27, 1957 the.Resolutions are substantially the same. The findings of 'fact and pledges of cooperation (which,are 'required by Title I of the Housing Act of 1949).made in the 1952 Resolution are expressly restated and reaffirmed. .We have also included a findings and determination by the Council that this revised Plan contains all essential elements of the original Plan.and constitutes a readoption'and reaffirm- ation thereof. MSA 462.421, subd. 1, requires the City Council, before' approving a Redevelopment Plan, to hold a public hearing after not less than 10 days pub-- lished notice. This statutory requirement was complied with at the time the Re- development Plan was originally approved by City Council Resolution Bfiarch 6, 1952• Since the revised plan now under consideration is not a new plan, but in effect constitutes merely a second amendment to the original Plan it would not beernec- tb essary, in my opinion, for the Council to hold another public hearing pub- lished notice. in order to prevent possible questions on this point_ however, I believe the'safest course would be for the Council at this time to adopt a simple resolution reciting that the revision of the Redevelopment Plan for the Western Redevelopment Project has been presented to the Council. approval and setting a date for a hearing by the Council upon the revised Plan, this date to be far enough in the future so that the resolution- setting the date may be published with the regular Saturday publication of Council proceedings not less than 10 days before the hearing date. This action will constitute compliance with the above-mentioned statutory requirement and I believe would be advisable although not absolutely required. I would appreciate your examination of the proposed resolution and your advice as to whether you find'it in satisfactory form for adoption by the Council. I would be glad to mset with you to discuss the contents of the resolu- tion if you so desire.

The present changes proposed at this time were adopted by the Housing Authority on March 6, 1957. The revised plan locates the proposed residential and commercial areas in approximately the same location as the original plan; however, the commercial areas have been extended from approximately 15 acres toea has be . approximately 24.5 acres; the residential arroximately changed from approximately 23.7 acres to app 17.1 acres, while institutional and .public use havi been ely changed from approximately 13.6 acres to app 11.5 acres. The revised plaancalso broughvides about bychanges in the thinking concerning9 changes in streets, alleys, the original highway and street . systems. , The existing boundaries of the redevelopment area are not changed except for the extension of the boundary line .to the center lines of certain existing streets where the streets bound,the project area. a To the Mayor and Council Page 2 March,27, 1957 In addition tothese changes the standards of development which were. included in the original p an have been modified somewhat: in order to ,make them better defined. In general, the proposed standards now referred to as building requirements in this plan, will result in a quality of development as high if not higher than that indicated in the original. The adoption of this resolution would put the Council on record as. renewing and reaffirming its action of March 10, 1953, whereby the Council would: a. Pledge its cooperation g p ion and -help to carry out such redevelopment plan. b. Request various officials, departments, boards and agencies of the locality having adminis- trative responsibilities in the premises likewise to cooperate to such end-and to exercise their respective functions and powers in the manner consistent wirth the said redevelopment plans. c. Stand ready to consider and take appro- priate action upon proposals and measures designed to effectuate said redevelopment-plan. There is pending, at the present timet a law suit, The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Saint Paul, Minnesota, vs. _Greenman. This,case is pending in the District Court in 'Ramsey County. Louis Sheehan, who is handling the case fot the City of Saint Paul, has advised me that in his > opinion the outcome of this condemnation action will have no effect on or will not be affected by, any action taken by this Council because the City Council in this action is merely reaffirm- ing its previous acts and ratifying said refinements necessary to bring this redevelopment project to a successful conclusion.

General ' This plan provides for the redevelopment of the Project Area in accord- ance with the provisions of the Minnesota Municipal Housing and Reds- velopment Act as amended. It includes the acquisition of property within the area, site clearance, including the demolition or removal ` of most of the buildings within the area, vacation and abandonment of some street areasa the dedication and widening of other street areas and the adjustment of street and utility rights-of-way. It further provides for the consolidation of certain existing blocks and parts of blocks into larger areas, the replatting and rezoning of the land and for its disposition by sale, lease, dedication or exchange under suitable safeguards, restrictions,owenants and conditions. Various parcels are designated for residential, commercial, institu- tional, recreational, educational" and other public uses., All of this is more specifically described and delineated in the narrative below and in the maps which constitute a part -of this Plan. a. 'Relationship to the G�^-eral"Plan The Redevelopment Plan, as revised, conforms, to the General plan of the City of St. Paul as _,t0 land use, community facilities and transportation and circulation. Itis coordinated with the City''s public improvement program and with zoning and subdivision regula- tions. The accepted City Plan for the Fentral Area of Saint Paul calls for development of the area immediately around the State Capitol for Capitol grounds and approach. It is to be the location of i State office buildings appropriate to a State Governmental Center. The Western Redevelopment project lies immediately to the West of the Capitol grounds. The provision of limited and appropriate commercial uses on .the Eastern side of the project developed in accordance with high development standards will successfully and harmoniously provide the transition from public State use to Pri-- vate use. The Revised Redevelnt Plan provides for a mall across the commercial area oonnecting the Park in the center of the project with the Capitol Grounds. The residential use of the central part Of the project North and South of the Park will provide apartments and rowhoase types of accommodations for families and indiriduals working in the State Center and the downtown area. This "-,Be Provides close -in, well planned dwsilings '.n accordance with the Central Area plan. The location of the Park, School site and Playground is in accord- ance with the plans of the City for recreational open space in this area end helps make up a serious deficien.y in such areas imme- diately to the West of the Central business district and Capitol Approach. The p; -vision of a school and playground is coordinated with the plar. of ifne Saint Paul Public Schools, the Parks and . Playgrounds D-Tartment and the Planning Board for adequate commu- nity facilities. The location of these facilities next to the facilities of an existing private community agency (The Ober Boys Club) is -in accordance with the best thinking of both private and public agencies as to the integration and dual use of facilites wherever possible. glosing streets within the project area and developing Rondo Av- enue and the expressway planned to the South of it for heavier traffic are in accord with the transportation and circulation Plan for the Central area.

These were included in a memorandum from,Mr. J. Lawrence Duacanadated N,arch 0 20, 1952 and issued following discussion in Washington between Mr. Jorvig of our staff and Mr. Duncan. They are e++ ^ised as followee 1. Adjustment of Briggs survey data to oonform to minor revisions in the site boundaries of Project LT. Minn. 1^-2 made subsequent to the Briggs survey 2. A separate tabulation of relocation need was requested for non-white families 3. The validity of our estimates as to annual turnover wen questioned and further substantiation of our estim!. es of the number of unite that could be captured in each of the rent categories 4.

Job qualifications statements for relocation personnel The Eelocation Plan as revised in accordance with DSCUB Suggestions is submitted herewith. A summary of the changes made are as f ollowas 1. Adlnstment in Briggs survey to conform with chawe® in the boundary of vroject UR Mine. 1-2 Using as a source"1930 Vaited States Census of Housing; Block Statistics for St. Paul" an estimate was made of the number of families included within the project boundaries but excluded ftom the Briggs survey and the number of families included in the Briggs survey but not included within the revised project boundaries. This —1— estimate indicates a net loss of only 16 white families and a net gain -of 51 non-white families or a total net gain of 35 families to be relocated. Sinus the blocks adjusted are of a similar character and occupancy it would alm valid to adjust the Briggs survey by increasing the number of non—white families. by 51 and decreasing 'the.white by 16 and distributing the families by size and income in the ea>me proportions as set forth in the original survey. The original relocation plan was based on a preliminary tabu— lation by the Housing Authority prior to receipt of the final Briggs survey data, The revised relocation plan submitted herewith is further corrected using the final Briggs tabulations, Since the Briggs ej-:vey was made there have been some buildings demolished or destroyed by fire and evidence that a number of families have already moved from the redevelopment areas. Therefore it is bel=eyed that our statistical data on reloca— tion need as presented in the relocation plan indicates a maximum relocation load and that any difference between, estimates and actual relocation load will be in the direction of a decresse in the total families to be relocated. - V 2. Tabulation of Relocation road for Non—white Families Tables A and B following indicate "Non-white Families by Size of Family and Income Group" and "Gross Rent Paid by -Income Groups" respectively. These tables are based upon IBM card tsbu'sstion of preliminary results of the Briggs survey and do not reflect the increase in�non—white families brought about by the change in proilact boundaries. The tabulation of the 146 families indicated repi'esent6however.a 61% sample of the total of 238 families in the project area. Since the general economic status of the. familieca'Zh the entire redevelopment area is similar, the distribution of families by size, income and rent paying ability indicated by these tables can reasonably be applied, to the entire 238 families in the redevelopment area. Since the total number of non—white famllies is small ani St. Paul's record of racial harmony is good, it would be -unreasonable and impractical to make a new survey for non—shite families at this time. ..,2 ..

PART II ARLTySIS OF 1MROUSI96 AVAILABILITY Ili TSB LOCALITY The Authority coneucted studies of housing in the city and imrsdiate suburbs to determine housing availability including new housing, ,addition of apartments by conversion of a_t!.eting unite, and the turnover iri the exis..ng ho^•sing supply^ +c>talad housing data is available is St. Paul, and therefore the St. Paul picture has been studied in greater detail than the suburbs. The immediate suburbs of St. Paul are edeatively integrated with St. Paul in employment pattern and transputer tion, to an extent that makas them a part of the city. The immediate suburbs lie within a five mile radius of the center of the city. Determination of Rehouoi Availability In private Housine is the Oity The following method is considered sufficiently accurate for the purpose of forecasting housing supply over the next several years'of the relo— cation schedule. Two major sources of information were used: {1) a base map of the city, showing blo9 block average rent, I from the 1940 census, adjusted to 1950 rent levels by applying a 40% increase as indicated by the local rent control office. and B. L. S. figures for St. Paul, a showing (2) an over—lay map at the same scale as the rent map. turnover of occuvancy in existing dwelling units, and new occupancy of newly added dwelling unite. This mop.was recorded by address from local power company re^ords which indicate gas and electric meter changes in existing apartments and registry of service connections in now dwelling unite. An adequate sample of the 1951 records was taken: 25 days our of the power company?o 260 --day year, representing 10% of the yearte turnover in existing housing plus net housing addition. By laying the turnover map over the block rent map, the number of turnovers and additions in each rent level could be counted. This count disclosed rehousing volume during the 10% sample period= the annual volume is ten time that of the sample period. _lw. _ !P&VZ 17 1950 BEHOIISING AVAILABI=. Y TV ST. P.4I�..

Since our estimates of total turnover include All types of dwellings: the total estimated turnover is reduced as follows �2^ for the purposes of estimating relocation availability. First, approximately 1800 new dwelling units were constructed in 1951 and Since these -are probably beyond the means of relocation occupants they are excluded. This reduces the available turnover of 19,3;7 by 1.,800 to 17,561. Secondly, the turnover includes substandard dwellings which t cannot be used for permanent relocaticn. The 1950 census indicates that 10,012 or+19.8% of the dwelling units lacked private bath or were dilapidated, Thin percentage of substandard unite ie assumed to apply uniformly to the r+ J This would reduce the total estimated available total estimated turnovers turnover by 3,477 to 144,084. These adjustments are indicated in the pre- 9 ceeding Table IV. In addition to the above major sources of information, the following additional characteristics were taken into consideration to support con- clusione made. They include trends in dwelling unit construction,census data on vacancy, and total rsatal-units by rents paid, housing availability in low -rent public housing, and suburban housing availability.

This assumes that 8-,: of -the total public housing will be capturod and that 65$ of the units captured will be for families in the $0-29 category.

These estimates are supported by Capitol Approach.exparieaoe. The.. original Capitol Approach development was. established in 7945• slthougis actual c1sawnum..did net ccmmence until 1949. • 7 .. 1MUiUI1iA1 Some relocation'of area tenants was being accomplished during the interim period. The bulk of relocation was done In the late pert of 1949, 1950 and 1951. The general distrlba.tlon of famillee by size'. income, and rent paying ability was r-YPrOx-*=a;'-e1y the same as in the project are" we have for clearance. Rental clacsifica- tions In both areas are approximately the same. Mot;t of the Original Occupants of these 1xUdings vacated voluutarilY and full management of the balance of the builaings was taken over by the Capp-Thomseen Company, a local Realtor. They in turn set up a plan whereby the 'tenants deeZt directly with their company instead of through an intervening landlord. It was found advisable to ret&llu temorarily two buildings :;*%r a temporary housing pool for t1lose families unable to obtain other accommodations. Not one family moved into these temporary housing buU.-L74s and all tenants moved to new quarters. It was reported that in each instance each faml.-Ly obliged to moves found better and more satisfactory housing accommodations elsewhera. with very little or not assistance. The local Realtor claims he did not make a concerted effort to find new locations fcr people in the area, but yet was able to caghwe approximately 1% of the total avail- ability. This was accompliahed without advertising and -)nly throa& rentals managt.4 by their office, wad at a time when there was a much more acute shortage of housing tha. will be the case for these projects. This realtor has also set out the fact that 60 -day notices to vacate were sent to tenants, which Is according to the usual procedure set up by the Office of Rent Stabilization. He also stated that in earl instance a copy of the notice was mailed to'thc local Office Of Rent Stabilizabion. This Realtor again states that in no instance were there any actual evictions, Althaugh the Cipit .01 Approach GonmisBIOU did not have to comply with section 105c of Public Lew 171. they also had no special relocation proce.dure,staff, or assistance provided to effectuate relocation. From the above information it is apparent that if a positive, concerted effort is put forth by the Local Relocation Office, with the h84 of advertising, and fall -time office staff doing nothing else but finding new locations, that considerably more of the available rentals will be captured. The local Realtor handling management for the Capitol Approach Commission, claims be slow can capture more than the 2% Of the availability as estimated aboveL III MENA '0 4 a r MOM -. ..... During the period of November 13. 1952 to.November,24. 1952, a record of offerings for sale and for Tent was kept for those units priced for sale and for rent within the incom re^savrcea of site occupants. only those units that had sale or rental prices stated were tabulated. yiirther all units that were indicated as requiring the sharing of bath or kitchen facilities were excluded as substandard. These totals were Further decreased by the percentage of substandard ° 19.89 The period of 10 dada -used for the .dwellings in the city. or tabulation was a low rental and sales period due to winter weather conditions at this time. For the above reasons the indicated avail- ability below is considered to be very con EC-vative. The results of the ten day record were as follows: Rental Properties NWfaer Number converted to Annual Ava3.l- a:.ility lass yab- standard Reay F $0 — 35 5 154 $35 — 50 28 728 $50 — 65 54 1544 tr $65 — 75 0 866 0 - - Total 117 3292 Sale Proverties Price Under $4000 3 79 $4000 - $6000 27 780 u $6000 — $8000 83 2397 $8000 -$10,000 .2 28z' Total 211 6085 Those units that appear for sale and particularly those that appear fzr rent indicate a ready availability and it should be expected that a large portion may be captured by an active and aggressive relocation staff. _ 9 - Based upon an assumed even rate o'k'relocation, the monthly rate of relocation need is 32'families and the annual need is 376 families. If this need is compered to the-above record of unit availability indicated by newspaper advertisements "for rent" and "for sale", our estimates of capturing ability appear to be conserva- { tive. Therefore there seems to be no question that the Authority will be able to relocate all families in permanent standard housing within the 5 year period indicated in this relocation plane The following table is developed to show what amount of housing may bo captured according to the foregoing anticipations.

Availability is based. upon 1950 census data and power = Compezzxy records for 1951+ This estimate is reduced for substar_dard units and new construction. Since that t"_me the housiue availability has increased, and shows evidence of continuing in this direction. `\ In August, 1952. the Bureau of the Census made a survey of the rental \ housing situation in St. Paul for the purpose of aiding the 01ty Council in making its determination as to whether rent control should remain. in effect afer oRptember 30 or be eatended.to April 30, 1953• This survey indicated that there were at that time 98.000 dwelling units in St. Paul. 2% or 1960 units were vacant 0.8% or 784 units were available for rent 0.4% or 392 units were available for sale 0.8%- or 784 units were vacantbut not available for rent or sale, or dilapidated. This survey indicates,a vacan.y ratio of 1,2% or 1176 non seasonal not dilapidated units for rent or for sale. The 1950 cencus indicated'a total of 93.359 dwelling units and a vacancy ratio of 0.6% or 560 Wa—esw rni not diladpidaUd units available for rent or for sale. These two surveys both made by the Bureau of the Census indicates that the vacancy ratio for noir-seasonal not dilapidated units has doubled between the spring of 1950 aad August, 1952' Local surveys by the Post office Department also indicate that the housing' availability is steadily incneasingr This is indicated by the following tables taken frcm the Post Office surveys dated June 7. 1949 and September 3. 19529 Posy =CE s=vEx JUNE �. 1949 HO= & AaMILIES JANE 7. 1949 WITHZ CITY LIMITS BAMILIE3 AND CITY OF SL'.

A survey by the St, Paul Real Estate Board on April 13, 1951 also indicates a large availability of houses for sale within the financial resources of site occupants. This survey indicated that 82.6% of all houses sold in St. Paul were sold by members of the Real Estate Board and sold at the following pricest 259 sold under $ 5.000 G42 n fro $ 5.000 to $ 8,040 724 n n � 8,000 to $10,000 644 414,000 to $12,000 4.86 n n $12.000 to $15.000 223 n " $15,000 to $20,000 103 n far over $20,000 Ewaie prices for the first 6 months of 1950 were lower than in the same period of 1949• Prices rose 7 -to 8% in the last half of 1950 but stere still below 1948 levels. since that time prices have shown a gradual inarrase for new construction and relatively new homes, but older homes which are within the means of site occupantc have tended to decline in price. e With the acquisition of properties in these prt,ject areas a large number of families will be able to purchase other homes with the cash equity they receive from the sale of the+^.'properties. 33.4 or 495 of the parcels are owner-occapied. It is estimated that at least lt2 of the above owners will be able to purchase other homes and MWVO without assistance. It is also anticipated that a large number of persons now renting will purchase homes and relocate :'hem- selvea. These families hava been included in the total relocation load and all saimates are based upon the maximum relocation load end ml7iimun estimates of cepturability to satisfy the relocation load. The trend of increased availability indicated by the Bureau of Census survey for rent control purposes and Post Office survey data plus present high rates of new construction and conversion indicate that availability for relocation purposes will be considerably higher than that estimated in this report, and that the Authority should be able ., 7 MEN Un1'A1�i1�Y�l 17 Inni to rehouse all families within the development period estimated without undue difficulty. Our estimates in this report do not take into consideration the State law which requires that all public Housing units cannot be occupied for a period of more than 4 years. For purposes of estimating the maximum Relocation lbad, v2 estimates have been made on a maximum need with a minimum of recapturability. The incentive to relocate is very evident in both of thr: project areae. This incentive has been *created by the clearance of the Capitol Approach in the City of St. Pau].. The following are some of the experiences of the Capitol Approach Commission's Property Manager: They found that at the time notices were sent to vacate, that the people involved had been looking fora new place to live and that the majority of the pcvple bad done nothing *ut actually moving until.they knew definitely that the _ Commission was going ahead with the project. They found as the original area started to be cleared that the psychology of their neighbors leaving spread until the tenants were looking for a new place to move and moving before they had actually received any formal notices. The Local Housing Authority office has received a great M:,ber of rsquests for early appraisals and information as to when we plan to proceed, so that area occupants might start moving. A large numoa:r of regaests have been made for early appraisals by sk:e occupants as .they have in mind JR=chas- i.ng other properties. A number of the landlords have been unable to re rent vacated uhits becaase people in the City realize that this area will be cleared soon. T is, of course, is working a hardship on these laad� lords and therefore they are anxious to sell their properties to the Local Housing Authority as soon as possible. ,Relocation has been "in the air" for a +cng period of .time* and tenets and landlords are anxious to relocate as soon as possible. _8- < - «}^ » � ) \ r 2 ! < - «}^ -�- Ifin 7011m, 11111MUNI F�i��l��'� 11"WEANN WMI, ':1 T, T • PART IV ORGANIZATIONS NETIMp AND COSTS OF RELOCATION ORGANIZATION The relocation organization plan is explained in detail in ibe overall organization plan of the Housing Authority submitted with the Loan and Grant Application. it includes a relocation advisory council of lay cit I izens of one each representing various groups and professions such as social agencies, minority groups, public relations, and real estate; a relocation officer with overall authority and responsibility for each of the three phases of the relocation problem: (1) Family Assistants (2) Rehousing location (3) I—zoperty Management. Relocation Advisory Council The Relocation Advisory Council will be established as soon as official.. `review of the redevelopment plan permits the Authority to organize for site ,acquisition. Composition of this council would be broad enough to'embrace the various social and procedural problems which are anticipated. The Director and several members of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority will sit in the council, and thereby provide the policy connection bet -ween the boards. These ex -officio members will have veto power over decisions of the Relocation Council. Cciijicil members will ie appointed by the Authority to serve overlapping three-year terms, so staggered that cnly 1/3 of the membership will be subject to expiration in any one year. Council members will serve without compensation; expenses Incurred on official business will be payable by relocation accounts. Such expenses may include mailing costs, incidental costs of meetings of the council, etc., to the extent of $100 per year. $400 is estimated as the maximum for the five-year period of this plan. The functions of the council will be to establish relocation policy, within the general policy laid down by the Authority; to cultivate community support by . their representative influence, and by publicity; to review basic matters of relocation procedure and finance; to decide appeal cases; to bring into relocation procedures expert advice on special problems in which the respective members are qualified. The council will meet periodically, frequency depending upon the work load. Relocation Personnel Relocation personnel are Included in the organization plan of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority submitted with the Loan and Grant Application. This includes position descriptions of duties, responsibilities and qualifications, plus salary schedules. Personnel will include a relocation officer, three family assistants, a housing locator, and two stenographers. Field Office A field office for personnel working directly with the tenants will be set up in or near the project area is conjunction with the management field office as outlined in the Management Plan. The two offices will be housed together in an existing suitable building which is likely to be one of the last ones demolished. Supervision of thi ffice will be maintained by the central office through the Redevelopment S ervisor. GENERAL POLICY Authority P.csponsibility The Authority is responsible for providing, lo, -sting, or assisting in locating a decent, safe, and sanitary' -dwelling unit for every family that is to be dis- placed from the project area, and such dwelling units must be "not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and public and commerc_Si facilities and at rents or 1rices within the finascisl.means of the families displaced from the pro;ect-area, decent, safes and sanitary ** equal in number to the number of and available to such displaced families and reasonably accessible to their places of employment". Certain acts committed by a family to be relocated may be construed as a rejection of aid and will relieve the Authority of this responsibility. If a family is evicted forr failure to pay ronts whe due, as outlined in the Management Plan, such eviction, after court action, will constitute relocation and will relieve the Authority of any further responsibility for relocation assistance. If a family refuses a vacancy Without valid cause, the Authority will be under no further obligation to extend relocation assistance to that family- (See Eviction Policy) Low -Rent Housing Public'housing projects now being completed will have sufficient turnover during the period of relocation and clearance to accommodate eligible site families.

Such separate relocations will qot be offered it either family coxsists of less than two persons or has a separate income insufficient for its own needs, Individuals While the Authority has no legal responsibility toward single individuals under the Sousing Act. of 1949, there will be some hardship cases such as single elderly persons that,will need assistance. The 1!uthority will render assistance to those single persons that may have considerable hard- ship in relocating themselves. commercial It is contemplated that no responsibility will be assumed for -relocating commercial and industrial establishments other than making facilities for redevelopment available to those eligible for relocation within the project area and who will relocate in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. Self -Help In spite of the assistance which the Authority stands ready to offer, families will be encouraged to find and occupy suitable housing on their own initis- tive. This policy, it is believed, will result in the most harmonious. relationships over the longest period of time and will, in a large measure, alleviate any feeling of autocratic use of power. EVICTION POLICY Residential Properties It shall be the policy of the Authority to conduct its management and relocation affairs in a manner contemplated to reduce to a minimum tha need to resort to eviction proceedings. Evictions.will be used in the following cases only: -3- .0 S tv i. k 1 r r r I A. Non.psyment-of rent after every effort has been made to induce payment; b. Refusal to accept and move to accomwodations offered for permanent relocation which when offered are decent, safe) and sanitary; within the financial meats of the tenants; and reasonably accessible to community facilities; and refusal t transportation and o accept and move to temporary relocations When essential to clearance of a portion of the site is accommodations at least ss good in nil respects as teat he now occupies; c. Continued unauthorized or illegal occupancy or nuisance created by the tehant. Business Properties . The policy in regard to eviction of business tenants will be the same as for residential tenants insofar as the same are applicable. Relocation by Eviction In trose cases when it shall be necessary to resortto eviction, said evictinns ... �tY33rb consieered to have effected relocation and the Authority shall be rel of any further responsibility so far as the relocatee is concerned. FOLLOW-UP ._..Public Housing Relocatees The records of the Authority as regards families relocated in low -rent public housing will give sufficient follow-up on persons relocated therein. 8 Private Housing Relocatees a. Permanent Relocation. A periodic call may be made on families relocated to permanent accommodations in -order that record of their whereabouts may be maintained in the interest of protection to the. Authority. b. Temporary Relocation. Continued efforts will be made to relocate these families in permanent quarters. c. Disappearance• In cases where the family relocates itself and does not notify the Authority prior to gmoving, efforts will be made to ascertain the whereabouts of the family in the interest of protection against claims against the Authority. 'These efforts, whether success- ful or not will be fully documented in the file of family records. 4 . >_. 1. r . .e RELOCATION METHODS Part III of this report schedules relocation at a uniform rate over a five year period. This was done to demonstrate the feasibility of such a schedule. Clearance stages will be decided by the central office in consideration of all elements. the acquisition rate, site improvement agd rebuilding plane, demolition and house -moving possibilities, and relocation resources. The plan for relocating families will be based upon proposed clearance schedules. However, no families will be forced to move to maintain clearance schedules unless adequate permanent or temporary dwelling units are provided. it would be impractical now to forecast the stage -by -stage relocation load. Recognizing this, the relocation rate to be assumed for purposes of planning procedure is the uniform rate shown in Table IX, Part III. Two phases of relocation activity are proposed: Phase 1, the information phase, begins immediately when the project is approved for aequisitinn. a. The file of site occupant relocation recorda from the eccomplisbe4 field survey are reviewed and any required special information is derived. b. The stage demand for a given amount of private rehousing, of given apartment sizes, at given rentals, is established and turned over to the Rehousing Locator as a basis upon which to plan his search program. c. The stage demand for public housing is established at the same time, and availability plans are worked out in conference with,the.Public Housing Teuc.nt Selection Office. d. A general letter to residents is prepared, informing them fully of project staging plo.ns, telling when relLcation is to be started, announcing the Relocation Office and its services, in- troducing the Family Assistnnts, stating the eligibility require- ments for public housing, explaining the overall reasons for the project, end appealing for their civic cooperation.

General This Plan provides for the redevelopment of the Project Area in accord- ance with the provisions of the Minnesota Municipal Housing and Reds- velopment Act as amended. It includes the acquisition of property • within the area, site clearance, including the demolition or removal of most of the buildings within the area, vacation and abandonment of some street areas, the dedication and widening of other street areas and the adjustment of street and utility rights-of=jay. It further provides for the consolidation of certain existing blocks and parts of blocks into larger areas, the replatting and rezoning of the land and for its disposition by sale, lease, dedication or exchange under suitable safeguards, restrictions,00venants and conditions. Various parcels are designated for residential, commercial, instit:a- tional, recreational, educational and other public uses„ All of this is more specifically described and delineated in the narrative below and in the maps which constitute a part of this Plan. a. Relationship to the General Plan The Redevelopment Plan, as revised, conforms to the General Plan of the City of St. Paul as to land use, community facilities and transportation and circulation. It is coordinated with the City�s • public improvement program and with zoning and subdivision regula- tions. The accepted City Plan for the Central Area of Saint Paul calls for development of the area immediately around the State Capitol for Capitol grounds and approach. It is to be the location of State office buildings appropriate to a State Governmental Center, The Western Redevelopment project lies immediately to the West of the Capitol grounds. The provision of limited and appropriate commercial uses on the Eastern side of the project developed in* accordance with high development standards will successfully and harmoniously provide the transition from public State use to pri- vate use. The Revised Redevelopment Plan provides for """A mall • across the commercial area connecting the Park in the center of the project with the Capitol Grounds. The residential use of the central part of the project North and South of the Park will provide apartments and rowhouse types of accommodations for families and individuals working in the State Center and the downtown area. This use provides close -in, well planned dwellings :In accordance with the Central Area plan. The location of the Park, School site and Playground is in accord- ance ante with the plans of the City for recreational open space in this area and helps -make up a serious deficiency in such areas imme- diately to the West of the Central business district and Capitol s Approach. The provision of a school and playground is coordinated with tris plan of the Saint Paul Public Schools,. the Parks and Playgrounds Department and the Planning Board for adequate comme.- nity facilities. The location of these facilities next to the facilities of an existing private community agency (The Ober Boys • Club) is. in accordance with the best thinking of both private and public agencies as to the integration and dual use of facilities wherever possible. Closing streets within the project area and developing Rondo Av- enue and the expressway planned to the South of it for heavier traffic are in accord with the transportation and circulation pinn for the Central area. The Revision of the Redevelopment Plan to -6- provide for a traffic carrying street on Louis Street connected with Marion Street will provide a needed link pro ding North— South circulation West of the Capitol Approach. b. Relatig7shia to Tn^al Community Cb.ie_tives • This Pian Is in conformity with long standing local community-ob- jeotives. It is part of a coordinated program for the removal of slum's and blight and the renewal of the City°s central area. This p, program incl:ades State and City land clearance for the Capitol Ap- proach Project and the provision of sites for State and City public buildings in additian to two Feder" Aided, Title I redevelopment projects and the Mount Airy Federally Aided Public Housing Project of the Authority. Specificalli the Plan provides for the foll^_:,ring: a. It prov_;aes.for the clearance, replanning, recorstruotion and mcderniaa*ion of a substandard area, b. It provides opp-ortunity for !:rivate enterprise in the achieve- ment of the Plan by returning cleared land to productive pri- vata use. c. It permits the benefits of nearby public improvement, including the Capitol Approach, the proposed Inter-otate Highway and Rice • Street lmprovements,•to extend over a wide area. d. It permits the highest and best use of the Project's strategic location, hoar the central business district and adjacent to the State Capitol and major transportation routes. e. It contributes to the provision of a safe and adequate street system in its vioinityo � -7- f, Through the provision of new sites for a school and playground, it contributes to the creation of these much needed community facilities. g. Through Building Requirements, it requires that adequate space • for light, air, parking, loading and landscaped setbacks be provided and maintained in connection with new construction to as to insure a continuing high standard of protection of the public health, safety and welfare. h. It is in accord with and helps to carry out the Central Area Redevelopment Plan as prepared by the City Planning Board in 1951 and as amended to November, 1956. This plan is docu- mented by a map entitled "Propos Lend and Circulation," dated January, 1952 and revised January, 957. 2. SSpecific Plan Proposals. a. Buildiaa Requirements and Land Use Controls The purpose of these Building Requirements and Land Use Controls is to insure that the several land uses will be harmonious; to provide for the proper arrangement of building, adequate open space and parking; to insure that the buildings are well designed and in harmony with -the character of the entire, project; and to prevent an adverse effect on the future development of the sur- rounding area. It is intended that these requirements supplement but not supplant official codes, ordinances and other legal con- trols of the City and State. 4 -$- �1 LL i. major LI g9gx_—ent-. The major. Building Requirements for redevelopment of the various areas within project are stated in the following Table I. The Authority may adopt additional,standards tot inconsistent with the Major Building Requirements for specific parcels or tracts of land. It the Authority adopts such addi- standards with reference t0 tional building requirements and the development of any particular parcel, it shall include a documents so that PO- statement of such standards in its bid tential developers may know the requirements which they must meet. ii; Duration and_In to retation of Buil n Re uirements to be considered minimums and (a) These requirements are may be adapted by the Authority to apply to specifio tracts or parcels of land within the Project.

City Council. (b) In order to determine that the Building Requirements wjll1 be complied with. the Authority will require pro- spective developers to submit such plans' specifications, drawings and other information as it deems neoeasary or desirable prior to the sale of projeot land. when -9- app;,oved, these plans may be incorporated in contract agreements and othar sales documents, After sale of the a land, the Authority may require the developer to submit such plans, drawings, specifications and other iaYorm&' tion as it may find necessary in order to detBrm3.ne that the Building Requirements are being observe& is the devel- . opment. of the parcels. Representatives 1. of the Authority, the City and appropriate State and Federales shall l be permitted to -inspect the work of the deveioper at any reasonable time. (c) Where due to special. conditions, a variance From the Building Requirements is found by the Authority to be noes eery or desirable and the resulting change wi1]- result in an equal or higher standard being achieved- the Authority may authorize such variances. Where there is a conflict between any Code and these Building Reciuiremexxts, the higher standard shall apply. iii.

Major Streets and Highways: Portions of three principal transportation routes will be built within the Project. (a) One is the Street which is designated on the "Project Area Plan" as entering Project Area from the south at Louis Street and leaving the Area to the north at Marion Street. For purposes of identification in this Plan this street shall be referred to as Louis -Marion Street. This street will be built by the Authority, as a 4 -lane divided public thorofare with additional lanes for emer- gency parking and turning, on a right-of-way approxi- mately 148 feet wide. It will be designed to provide a buffer space between proposed commercial and residential land uses and to serve as a section of a major street which it is planned will circle the central portion of the City. (b) The second major transportation facility to touch the Project is an east -west section of the proposed.Federal Inter -state Highway System. This route will be a multi- lane, divided, limited access highway. It will traverse the southern edge of the Project and it and its connec- tions .and service roads will use all of the land along _16- the „southern edge of the Project below Rondo Avenue (Area "H" on the "Project Area Plan"). The City has, allocated funds to. rebuild Rondo Avenue as a parkway. However, because the construction'of this High- way System is imminent, the City has modified its plans and will, instead, build a road on the. present right-of- v;ay of Rondo Avenue to serve,the Project Area and to give access to the Highway- In order to widen Rondo Avenue, approximately 6 feet of additional right-of-way will be dedicated to the City along its south side. (c) Rice Street is the third principal street within or par- tially within the Project. It is being widened and improved along the entire length of its contact with the Project and north as far as Como Avenue. It will be 90 built as to provide access to adjacent parcels in the Project. Land acquired by the Authority, needed for the widening of Rice Street, will be sold to the City or State. The adjustments in street rights-of-way which will be made to accomplish the above described highway plans are illustrated on Map B, "Street Adjustments". 11. Local Streets: A number of internal street adjustments will be made to reduce traffic conflicts within the area and with bordering streets while, at the same time, providing adequate access to all areas within the Project and in its vicinity. To discourage through traffic, all east -west streets in the Project, with the exception of Anrora Avenue, will be vacated at some point. Likewise, all existing north -south streets are being closed and only Louis -Marion Street, which is described in the fore- -17- going section. `eb.J.A aboYe, will be opeAs& to north-South traff ic. The resulting internal street plan will permit direct and easy access to and from the major traueportatioa routes bordering the Project. et right-of-way which are needed to The adjustments in stre effect the, above described street changes are Shown on Map B aStreet Adjustments." iii. Walkway Easement: A landscaped, pedestrian walkway, averaging 60 feet in width, extending from Louis-Marion Street to Bice Street, shall be provided in-the.-area between the South right-of-way line of Central Avenue and the north right-of-way line of Puller Avenxe. The purchaser of the area Vithin which it lies shall develop and maintain t.is walkway for use by the public. Its location and design shall be approved by the Authority. This walkway will permit residents of the areas to the west direct access to the commercial end Capitol Approach areas and may be designed to serve commercial buildings as a pedestrian accaas-wad from parking facilities, 0. Site Preaarat, i. Ma or Streets: As a part of the Federal Inter -state Highway System, a depressed, limited access highway will be built by the State of ifinnesota along the southernmost portion of the Project, including additional land outside of the project bouadary. Access ramps will be cona9:ructed to connect the highway with the proposed Louie-Marion Street. In addition, a service road, on the alignment of Rondo Avenue, will be built by the City to serve properties within the Project. _18- Louis-Marion Street will be built with a capacity and design section capable of carrying'the,volumes of traffic expected its as well as those generated by aoti- to peen through the s vitios within the Project. Along the east aide of the Pro- ject, Rice Street will be widened and improved by the City adjacent State or State to better serve the Project Area and • Cepa.tol functions. • 11. Inte^nal� Streets' other streets and alleys shown on the "Project Area Plans within the Project, on either existing or proaosed rights-of-way, (except for certain portions of Aurcra, Earringtpn and Galtier which abut private property) will be built or rebuilt to City specifications for real- denti.al streets within this section of the City. Sewsrr and t wear; The general location of easements for sewer to be abandoned and wAter lines, including those existing and or provided, are shown on Maps C and D. respectively. d easements for street iv. yti�g; resisting facilities an. lighting will be eliminated and new facilities and easements created to provide a standard of lighting comparable to the sten.d.ard established in the adjacent Capitol Approach Area. v, Pria��re U`.•3?.ities: Proposed adjustments to be made in private utilities and utility easements are shown on Map E, "Private Utility Adjustments." These .rill be made without cost to the Authority, the City, or to developers, by the utility companies involved. If additional utility adjustments are desired, developers may negotiate them with -19- the appropriate utility company. vi. Park and Sc colt Appropriate partCOf the area designated for park and school use, (Area "F" on the "Project Area Plan"), will be designed and landscaped to serve the functions of a public park and a school playground. On /....._ . that portion assigned to school use, now public elementary school will be built. d. UDing Plaa The zoning classifications and plan proposed for the Project are shown on lisp F. The zone bonadaries and plan may be changed at such time as a comprehenoive revision of the City's Bwllding Zone Ordinance is made provided the, the new zoning controls do not thwart the objectives of this plan.

McCollum Regional Administrator Housing and Home Finance Agency 360 North Michigan Avenue, Room 1500 Chicago 1, Illinois Dear Mr. McCollum, TheCityof Saint Paul, Minnesota hereby requests recertification for its Program of Community Improvement (Workable Program) for the year following the expiration of our current certification period. We, here in Saint Paul, believe we have entered into.an exciting time in the history of our city, and that we have finally become a city on the move. Announcement of Plans for many private and public improvements has provided the impetus and in- gredients for our expanding and growing community. To illustrate this ma ch of progress, allow us to cite the following actions as. concrete examples of. erformance, The General Ser •ces Administration has announced its selection of a site for a new eleven -million dollar Federal Office Building to be located in downtown Saint Paul. Dayton's,a large retail shopping store chain, is currently constructing a 12 -million dollar facility in the heart of our city - Sears -Roebuck and Company, nationally known, and for many years located only in Dtinneapolis, has started building a five -million dollar_ retail store adjacent to the central business district of Saint Paul. w, The Hilton Hotel Corporation, world famous for its hotel operation, will soon announce plans for the construction of a new 23 -story, ten-million•dollar hotel in our downtown area. The Saint Paul City Council has approved an application from the local Housing and Redevelopment Authority for the construction of nearly 300 additional Public Housing units to be built in three separate sections of Saint Paul. This brings the total of. (in --a addiuronai shave — .6«c= for P.ucy staten—t of .. —sary) 2 ./ %t public housing units in Saint Paul o = — o than 2250. Attention must be brought here to the improvement made in as the original allotment or plans formulated in 1949 called for t_he V> = o o£ 2000 Public Housing units in Saint Paul. . Of this total, 12 86 i. �—_ e c =_ —� ? eted prior to July 1, 1960, a period of eleven years. Since July 1. 1- SC3a — == =ver, 1014 'Public Housing units have been built or approved by the ca �y - gbody. This time element covers slightly more than two years. The St int Paul Housing and Redevo Authority has made a survey and planning application to the Fedcra z Gc—=aarnent for a 12 block downtown, Urban Renewal project, which is both e 1 3 o3 -1z> a- < renewal and which may be considered marketable. This was done after 7Ez> s lity survey was accomplished to deter- mine some of the basic unkown 3 ative to downtown renewal. The Port Authority of Saint Paul acquisition and clearance of the land in the 350 acre, sixty-five r _: 3 3 = o== dollar Riverview Industrial and Re- creatio::al Park project, located aeras Elie Mississippi River from'the Central business area of our city. Our local Housing and Redeve loprnz=1_ = sity has had approved a General Neighborhood Renewal Program for — zarea of Saint Paul"91 Here again, a survey and planning applicatiora mor==a first project in this area, has been submittc-d to the regional office o13=ban Renewal Administrator for approval. One of the main reasons for the =o mentioned above has been the excellent cooperation generated among the c3-1 r 3 e - Gb oring, and business interests in Saint Paul since our spring city e le ct i _ c>ecame quite evident at that time that the citizens of Saint Paul wantedaTz �cfl_=-ircistration devoted to progress and sound government. Because of this spirit whic% has ?o = zv 2 -z 3cd, the present administration has made every effort to push ahead wiT-1-- ==�etTa1 programs, the Riverview Indust- rial Park development, fr-etTZLY:5 � �=� W Federal Office Building and other projects greatly needed by our This combination of thinking, ha3t possible for the substantial contri- butions mentioned in the oper_irrg ��� a��-ap?zs. a The Metropolitan Improvement Co=^ a citizen action group named by the Mayor on August 18, 1960, and exp 3 rs a =n detail in last year's application for recertification, has beery orae otE7 main organizations responsible in e -coediting community deve loprr_era r- deye lopment. Because this committee has expits original scope and purpose, the Mayor's office is currently ernga city-wide volunteer citizen's advisory committee as part of tea ov e x-211 future .progress of our city. 2a =i - We futher believe, that the caliber o !membership of the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority Cvr=gym- fission has been strengthened by. the recent appointment of. two naw 73rmr::&Pznbers namely; Mr. Patrick Towle and Mr. John Greenman. Both have out rending administrative back- grounds and a keen interest in the :e .. re progress and development of Saint Paul. You will recall that in our 1961 sion, I named four committees for the purpose of improving our LJrb Renewal Program Planning. I am pleased to report that during the f z -r= year that the success of the committee's 'work, as measured by tYaa -ogress made in the various tech- nical aspect our program, warrar-i the continuation of these com- mittees. Over twenty meetings of the commit to a s or sub-4.1t:were held during the year. Some of the major acccmnp 3_3 -It-3t--rnents are the development of a Capital Improvement and a Public Improvement needs study, completion of a land subdivision ordinance, sigraaf z ^ -� t amendments to our housing and zoning codes, the help of advance in the organization and. development of the year's community rriprovement program, and the major role of helping elected officials -I•cae informed of the status of,various aspects of the Urban Renewal Prograrrt I think it is important to note x=-M-zese committees have no legal authority to develop and maintain programs, but they must work in the area of coordinating various agency r- a bureau programs that are defined in statutory and charter provisions ath financial limitations - indeed a difficult assignment. Under our zE� of government this is the most practical and soundest approach iia s -=-_ +ring a sound, long-range Urban Renewal Program. _ �ry In addition, the -Mayor's office has -c oraducted discussions with about forty community leaders, concerning mow -rent housing, with emphasis o private financing. As a result cf -t-- -a se meetings, we have appointed a committee composed of the housing cfs_ — rman of the Saint Paul Council of Human Relations, the executive chai rE r3 -- of the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, the chairman of the civic e—ornmittee of the Saint Paul Trades and Labor Assembly and the execu1Z-iva secretary of the Saint Paul Board of Realtors to study this phase of for Saint 'Paul. We further believe and subscribe t oza lasting benefits of a constructive program for community improvement program has been accelerated during the past twelve months.

Since this date, the participating agencies and governmental units have mer---- several times to develop the general organizational framework for the conduct of rte --a study - Participating in this study ha required substantial changes in our Work Program and the completion dates of a number z- of our projects. Many of -ti-ie findings and conclusions of this joint study could subs- axxtially affect the Land Use acid Thoroughfare elements of the City's Comprehensive P1 These adjustments are described in the following for each item. 1. Land Use Plan. - Community Plan Report #8, "Saint Paul's Preliminary Land Use Plan" was completed, approved y the: Planning Board on July 20, 1959 and published. In conjunction with the deve lo3g.- ment o£ the Comprehensive P laza , the inventory. of existing land use was up -dated 3ast year. The Land Use Plar>< has been restudied for the past six months and with a r-tain revisions will be used os an "interim final" plan until such time as the ne essary findings and conclusiorns developed by the Met- ropolitan Area Joint Land Use --transportation Planning Program can be integrated wherever necessary and the fizz - - 1 land use plan and report then completed. 'In December of 1961 the Planning Board re 1_ aced the study "Saint Paul's Population Characteristics (See Exhibit Cl -1) 1960 with F1 -==�ojections to 1970 and 1980,11 This is actually a part of the Land Use element of the Comprehensive Plan and is designed to replace the section on population in the �--original Land Use report. It :L -:s proposed to continually review and up -date this elemer� - -I-- of the Comprehensive Plan a.rx parallel with the development of the Joint Stud> In January 1962, work was started on a plan for the Central Business District. A Preliminary plan is due August 16, 1962. (See Exhibit C1-2) Additional data may be found in part (5) that follows 2. Major Thoroughfare Plan. The Preliminary Plan was completed and published as a draft in December 1960. The waft has been reviewed by other interested and affected agencies and discussions have_ been held and are continuing irn an effort to obtain all around agreement on the propo - - presented. Agreement wi v_l the City Public Works Department and Traffic Bureau A -s now within reach. As is tiz-�e case in the Land Use _ element of the Comprehensive Zan, the Turin Cities Metropolitan Area Joint Land Use - Transportation Planning Progm- -^ findings could have a major impact upon this plan. An ":interim final" plan should b available by September 10, 1962 and the policies, goals and standards it proposes wit ___ be used as a guide' until the Joint Study has been completed. 3. Community Facilities Plar-A_ - CommuLty Plan Report #9. "Saint Paul's Plan for _ Public Educational, Recreatio-3a1, and Cultural Facilities" was approved by the Planning Board in September 60 and published. The plan has been reviewed as part of the Comprehensive Plan devela-���ment program. Any major chariges in the Thorughfares in zra and neighborhood element of the Comprehensive boundaries in the Community lan .could result changes _ community aci lines Plan. The changes zrn turn could affect the Sa Sb location of schools and recreational facilities. At this time, . the need for major changes appears remote --d this element seems to be fairly valid. Community Plan Report #11, "SairxZ= Pauls Plan for Fire Stations" was approved by the Planning Board in December 1963L_ This is, actually an addendum to the Public Facilities Plan. 4. Public Improvement`s Program. A Capital Imprc==-----_sement Program and a needs study has been completed. See section ori Finance for further details. ` S. Subdivision Regulate- ions. A preliminary draft of subdivision regulations was prepared by the staff - �i December 1960. It was submitted to the City Public Works Department for-- ­%rlew. This review indicated a number of areas of disagree- ment between the sta.:E:E of the City Planning Board and Public Works Department. Several revised drafts -were prepared and reviewed during the past year and a mutually acceptable draft has been agreed upon. The City Counci 1 has referred this revised draft to the C-Fw ty Attorney, City Engineer and Research Bureau for a report, (See Exhibit C -S) Thies proposal was reviewed by the City Planning Board in June, 1962 and sent to the C-,5--- ty Council with a favorable recommendation. 6, Zoning Ordinance. The 'basis for the Zoning Code and Map is the Land Use Plan. Statements in previous recertification documents have indicated a complete revision of the 'Zoning Code .arid Map would be well under way by this time. The changes in the worms program and .completion time of other elements of the Comprehensive Plan also affect the Zoning schedule. During the period of time that the Joint Study is unci r way only necessary and selected amendments to the Zoning Code will be prepared - On biay 280 1962 the Planning Board approved a proposed amendment to the Zoniri Code establishing a new multi -residence district with max- imum densities somewha lower than these permitted in the present multi -family district. Another ame dment is being drafted which will provide for exclusive industrial uses in tha existing industrial districts. Still another amendment re- quested by the Planni-x-a- Board to be prepared this summer will provide similar regulation of uses in he Commercial Disitrict. Copies of these proposed amendments are attached. (See P - r 1bi.t C-6) 7.' Comprehensive Pla-T-m The completed elements of the Plan have been restudied and are being up -dated, -e :Incomplete elements have been completed to an "interim final' stage. All el*---- ---rnents of the plan will be continuously studied and adjusted in parallel with the -c=_V -evelopment of the Joint Land Use -Transportation Planning Program. In the mearx-*-- — Mme, the policies, goals, and standards proposed in the Com- prehensive Plan will used as guides for making, planning and zoning decisions. It should be pointed caw�zit that the City's planning program is so structured that each element of the p an 1s periodically reviewed by the agency or department affected during the d�—�relopment stages and thcc .final plan reflects broad -and general agreement on the pax -t of those concerned. In.this respect the Public Facilities Plan was developed wig —�+ the assistance and cocrence of thesle departments ais Sb responsible for educational, recreational,- and cult'szral facilities. The Thorough- " fare Plan reflects the thinkizlg 'of • the Public .Works asiei Traffic Engineering staffs, of the City in addition to the, critical review o£ tlia NI:Lrnnesota Highway Department Engineers. The Fire Station Plan -was developed whiz tYie -assistance of the Fire Chief and the Fire Underwriters. The subdivision Regulatzorss leave been reviewed by Public Works Department personnel -responsible £or much o£ the work required in new sub- divisions. In addition to these departmental reviews,. the City P larirting Board has also reviewed all phases of the Comprehensive Planning procedure Ttaese professional and citizen, appraisals have resulted in extending the time limits originally set for the com-, pletion of the various elements of the Plan. Zrt the lorzg run, however, it will result in a net savings in time because the completed products will have general acceptance at the time of adoption. - a Sc E.

COMMUNITY FiEN£LVAL PROGRAM APPLICATION, �iarrative Description of Proposed Activities General Go s - The City of Saint Paul, through s Bureau o£ City P larnning, proposes .to establish a full-range program of local urb an renew a 1 act i ori b as e d on the entire area of local needs and to utilize the community's fizzaacial„ _physical, andsocial re- sources and potential to undertake such renewal activities: The program is to be prepared with federal assistance administered by tize Housing and Nome Finance Agency. The program will include all of Lice documentation- such as plans, reports, maps, and other data necessary to determine and lay out the course of action the City must adopt to effectuate such a program_ Basically, the program will determine tFie following: 1. Identify slum or blighted. de to r3 orate d or de to ri orating areas in the City and the extent, nature, and trends of sueiz blight and deterioration. 2, Determine the financial, re locations I-zouszrnother resources needed to carry out renewal in these areas and" through a study of the economy of the City, determine the availability of suclz resources and their relation to urban renewal. 3. Identify potential projects and -ie titypes o£ urban renewal action,- oth 'public and private, to renew these 4. Develop a continuing long-range action program o£ urban renewal activities in terms of time, money, and public- and private action necessary to direct all available local resources to meet the total need. such program to be in con- formity with the Comprehensive Plan- of LI-ie City Provisions will be made to keep. the Community Renewal Program curreizt to- reflect changing conditions and needs. The program would also be an importar�t ad3unct to the City's Workable Program in that a number of the objectives for tie several elements of the Workable Program will be studied in considerab le depth Scope and Content of Program Due to topographical and other natural and man—made barriers, Saint Paul has been divided into 16 major areas of predominantly residential land use. These large areas br "communities" have been further subdivided into 49 sub-areas or "neighborhoods." These subdivisions have been created as Ll-ie basic structure for all. future planning and development. These units will serve as ^study area•. for the Community Renewal 9a Program:, In some "sections o£ City, these communities are separated by sub-- stantial non-residentialareas - _ uch as. industrial, districts, major trnasportation facilitieshnd natural phys'a� features. These non-residential areas will also be studied for possib le • renewa t atment. The community renewal studies utilize existing data pertinent to the studies which have already -been assemb d by -participating agencies, up -dating of this data where necessary,, and the. e— flection a of additional needed data to obtain the most accurate possible. assess - mit of the problem would be the objective of further surveys and field studies. The development of the program could: be closely related to and coordinated with the Comprehensive Community Plan. — L ne program would" -recognize such factors as policies, standards and goals of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan. -- mThe city-wide study andcanalys - s would ider"tify the areas requiring treatment, be it redevelopment, rehabilitate -33 or conservation. .The result of this phase of the study would„be the identifica-V_- vn of those neighborhoods in which general urban renewal problems exist. -Theses 3zeighborhoods would then- be rated in each of their own communities and the co*n*mam-m dies, in turn, -.:rated on a -city-wide basis. In this manner, it will be possible t:o _ sex....up--a city-wide classification and priority system. An important -element in the gram will be citizen -participation. It is proposed": to enlist the assistance` o£- neighborhdod and community groups as the program begins in each community. '1-kx grogram must have the support and backing of these citizen -groups if successful_ — adegi{ate. "conservation and rehabilitation projects �" are to be carried out. The Study Program V _ Stage I 1. Identification -of old res amential :and non-residential_ areas that are,'de- teriorating, deteriorated, b 1-W- -�hted or slums, : Thexidentification and evaluation - of such city-wide renewal: -.rhea � will be bas6d..on an analysis of currently existing - - - -- information supplemented by :C—K 1d checks.

Stage II In each community those renewal ate— :E. requiring mo'ae detailed study and inspection will be delineated and surveyed a-- orcl ng to the priorities established in`{Stage I. The following determination w113 7k=:M. 1. The nature, degree, causes �ends of blight,. and blighting factors will be _ analyzed.for each.of these reas considering such factors as deterioration of structures, over-crowding," 3ri1 onious land uses, traffic conditions, lack of adequate public facilities and factors. . 2. Recommendations made in the C -c==m-�D-rehensive Community Plan for each of these areas will be analyzed. Those o=�endations- which will contribute to the elimination of blighting conditi �_� will be noted. Recommendations which are. in co lict with the renewal progr=—= 11 be restudied so that appropriate adjustments can be. made. These recomme_nda-r_z 4c=w w:111 have an important bearing on the type and timing of renewal. action. 3. Identification of potential pX03 :cts and a determination of the-type or renewal action necessary for each area be made. For residential areas this would con- sist of redevelopment, ori, conservation, or a.combin.ation,of these. treatments. A basic determinate this stage is the proper use or re-use of the land. 4. Relocation of displaced fames- � ­We s - A determination must be made of the number of families which are likely to be s= f— 3 ect to relocation together with their rent- paying ability. Stage III - The goal of this final stage is � development of a continuing long-range action program in terms of time, monesy m_zx__30ti 11c, and private action .,necessary to bring all " local resources to bear on the p r�i 3em. The first portion of this stage w --X--.JL deal in depth with city-wide factors and determinations as follows: - 1. Economic and market studies e3 projections.. These studies will attempt to 4ddentify the economic trends aY-x<=L wth prospects, local policies and actions which will greatly influence decisior:s� aez the'charactet, location, and timing of, renewal action. 3 _ 9c (a) Population growth (b) Employment trends. (c) Potential community growth and economic development goals and how -renewal and related actions "can assist "in their achievement. i - (d) Present and future housing supply and dernand in numtier and types of -units and price ranges. This will form the- basis for ' determing the city's ability to absorb families displaced by urban renewal and other public'aciions. This phase will include the development of a system for maintaining an up-to-date housing inventory. (e) Determination of the city's potential rola of utilization of land cleared through urban renewal action. (f) The Economic Study of the City published by the Planning Board in 1961 will be used as a basic reference in this study and additional material Will be --developed 'as; needed. 2.

Voters, elect a mayor, six councilmen and a city comptroller. The mayor and six councilmen have two basic duties: namely, (1) as a body, they act as -legislators and (2) individually they are, administrators, each in charge of a separate department of city government. With reference to the latter duty, the mayor at the beginning of each term assigns a councilmen to head a department. Under the charter the head of a department is 'solely responsible for carrying out the duties and responsibilities within his jurisdiction, however, in practice there is a high degree of cooperation between departments. One of the principle reasons for this is that many programs and individual actions _require the approval of the city council before they may be carried out. In these matters, the mayor functions as a co-ordinator in seeing that the best interests of the city are maintained. However, he has no authority to demand .or compel a department to carry out a certain program, action or activity. Beyond the activities of the mayor in assuming the responsibilities of his department and his relationship to the rest of the City Council, he. also appoints certain advisory committees to assist the city in various activities and studies. A listing of some of these committees which relate to planning ' and urban renewal ct, ity follows: ADVISORY BOARD ON SMOKE ELIMINATION AND AIR PURIFICATION, C TIZENS RECREATION DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, CITY TRAFFIC COMMITTEE, HOSPITAL FACILITY BUILDING COMMISSION, MAYOR'S RIVER SAFETY, DEVELOPMENT AND CONTROL COMMISSION, METROPOLITAN AREA REGIONAL PLANNING COM- MISSION, SAINT PAUL CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, MINNEAPOLIS -ST. PAUL METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION, THE CITY ZONING BOARD, A METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT COORDINATION COMMITTEE, A CITIZENS HOUSING COMMITTEE, 'This year's Community -Improvement Program has been the joint effort of thef' following personnel: Mr. Alfred Schroeder, City Architect; Mr. Herbert Wieland, Planning Board; Mr. William Carter, Housing and Redevelopment Authority; Mr. John Connelly, Council Investigation and Research Bureau; and Mr. Duane Gratz, Publicity Bureau. e Q, 10a' n Attachment "B-4" 4. Appoint a Review Committee tosassist departments in the preparation and development of a Capital Imfrdvement,Program and a Needs Study. The responsibility for relocation planning is vested irn the office of the central relocation information service. This agency was established as a result of an agreement between the' City of St. Paul and the•Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul, whereby the authority relocation staff would provide relocation assistance to all persons displaced by any public action. Funds for this purpose are available from the relocation tax levy on real estate applied annually. 10b Attachment "C" There are two departments in the City of -Saint Paul who are basically responsible for carrying out the code enforcement program: Namely, (1) The Department of Parks. and Recreation and Public Buildings, and (2) The Department of Public Safety. The Parks and Recreation and Public Buildings Department is charged with the enforcement of all ordinances relating to buildings within the city, their planning, construction, maintenance, fire protection and'all other matters relating thereto according to the City.Charter, and the Public Safety Department is concerned with health, sanitation and fire protection laws and regulations. There is no formal machinery as yet establishetd requiring the coordination of the two departments. However, there is -and always has been a gond, cooperative working relationship between all levels of the two departments. The inspectors of the two departments are initially instructed and are continually reminded.to be familiar with and recognize violations of regulations and to report them to the proper authorities. In addition, it is common practice for representatives from the Bureau. of Public Buildings, the Bureau of. Fire Prevention and the Bureau of Health to make joint inspections of property. Both departments operate in approximately the same manner. Inspections ar6 made of all new and remodeling work for which a permit is required. Investigations are made on all complaints received'either by telepho$e, letters *or in per$on. In addition, periodic inspections are made on the initiation of the various bureaus on a routine basis. Beginning in January, 1961 through a Federal State Grant, we have inaugurated an inspection and supervision program in all Nursing Homes,'Bdarding Care Homes and Foster Homes. In these inspections we utilize the full time service of one San- itation, one Nurse, and half-time services of a Senior Clerk -Stenographer. The number of housing sinpections dealing with health and sanitation conditions made by the Health Bureau during 1961 was 5,589. Housing Code enforcement was started in January, 1961. The enforeament is under the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Parks and Recreation and Public Buildings. During December 1960 and January 1961, the Bureau of•Public Buildings compiled lists of multi -family dwellings from such sources as the assessor's records, the City Directory, the telephone directory, reports of Bureau of Health and Fire Prevention Bureau and from their own building insyection reports. 4 All of the present inspectors in the Bureau of Public Buildings are making housing code inspections along with their own building code work. In conjunction with these housing code inspections, all inspectors were given copies of the Housing Code in December, 1960 and indoctrinational meetings were held to reveiw the requirements, the report forms and general procedures, e loc M e • � j There are two departments in the City of -Saint Paul who are basically responsible for carrying out the code enforcement program: Namely, (1) The Department of Parks. and Recreation and Public Buildings, and (2) The Department of Public Safety.

SVAenever a building code inspection is made on a family dwelling 3. When specific addresses are assigned to an inspector in accordance with the over-all pian of inspection of all firmly dwellings in the city. It is intended to give careful study to the housing code inspection methods and procedures and to the results obtained- to determine what revisions or extensions of- coverage, should ba made, if any, in order to obtain the best re- sults in the urban xe$e,wal program. A comparison of the total expenditures for personnel -engaged in enforcement, plan checking and adm§Lrzistrative activities by the Bureau of Public Buildings for 1960 and 1961 and 1962 is as Follows 1960 $401,287.06 1961 443,918,00 1962 475,888-00 The City has not only been interested in improving its code enforcement pro- cedures, it lias also -taken steps to improve the quality of the existing regulations. This has been accomplished through two methods, namely, (1) the constant review and up—dating of existing standards of building construction where needed and as the work load permits, and (2) through the appointment by the Mayor of a technical committee, which is of recent origins to study.exist- ing codes and make recommendations' for improvements to the Mayor and the City Council. - d 10d � g NOTE: If any data provided tielow.is for.Aess4han 12 months,_ g1- $ ending dates of the period actually covered. 1.

A charter amendment adopted by the voters in November 1960, changed a per capita taxing limitation to a dollar limitation which for the year 1951 provided an increase in funds for city operating services other than schools to the extent of $1,853,555 and.also provided in 1962 and 1963 an additional $500,000 for each year over the previous year, Saint Paul has since the 1930's consistently maintained a high tax collection ratio as well as in each succeeding year an increase in funds available for City Programs, With these increases in available resources, funds for building and zoning code enforcement of health and -other regulations have been steadily increased during oast years. Although these increases have been needed to handle the increasing.work loads due to increased construction and higher salary costs, they have also been made large' enough to include additional necessary personnel required for urban renewal and related activities. (See attachment "D") E. If one or more federally -assisted Urban Renewal projects are Con tempi a ted, whatt. tentative plans, if any, have been made to provide the community' s share of project costs? Under our State enabling legislation Provision has been made for a tax levy to provide the community's share of Urban Renewal Projects. For St. Paul this amounts , to approximately a quarter of,a million dollars annually. The Redevelopment Tax Levy has been part of taxing program of the City of Saint Paul since the start of its urban renewal program. The present maximum levy is one mill. Following -'the passage of enabling legislation by the State Legislature in 1959, the City may impose an additional one-tenth of one mill levy for the purpose of -financing relocation assistance to all persons displaced by 'any public action. For relocation ' purposes, said mill levy has been budgeted in 1960 and 1961 and 1962. (Continued See attachment "E") Supplementary material required..

Through'the years., by informal interdepartment cooperation and with the use of citizen eommi-ttees, an—extremely-high-degree_of�o9geration and success in securing voter approval of bond programs has been achieved. This is recorded in our 1928,. 1953 and 1959 bond programs. City departments and special agencies prepare an annual, and in many cases a two or , more years, Public Improvement Program.- Any improvements that affect. other depart- ments are developed jointly. In addition,•any projects that involve city departments must be approved by the City Council. It is recognized that with an increase in budget appropriations for Public Improve- ments, an increase in state aids for highway and school needs, and the fiscal in- dependence of the special agencies, that a modification of the method used in the development and implementation of a Public Improvefnent Program that will provide coordination'is not only necessary but essential in order to secure mazimum benefits iri accomplishing all elements of a Programed Community Plan, A. Public Improvement Program will be 'developed and coordinated, however, within the framework of existing law. To accomplish this the Mayor named a review and coordin- ating committee that started work in the fall of 1.961 on such a program. Under the direction of John Connelly, Council Research Bureau, and coordinated by Robert Trudeau of the -Comptroller's office and under the guidance of a review committee consisting of'.the.above two plus Mr. Herbert Wieland, Planning Director, Mr. Clemens Schleck, Chief Accountant Comptroller's office and Mr. Frank Madden, Executive Secretary 2nd United Improvement Council a Public Improvement• Program in - eluding a needs study has been prepared covering the period 1962-1966. Departments completed filling out the attached two forms (see exhibits C-1 & C-2) followed 'by - - the review committee holding several meetings with department representatives prior to the preparation of the program. It is anticipated the program will be published in September 1962. Using the experience gained in the preparation of the 1962 program the 1963-1967 program will be started in the fall of 1962. 14a Attachment "D• The 1960 charter amendment provided additional funds for'most city operations in 1962. Specifically in activities directly related to urban renewal appro- priations were increased to the following extent: 1.

The Authority relocation staff, 'under the supervision of the Authority's. Assistant to the, Executive Director, is required to -provide relocation assistance to all per- sons displaced by any public .action. Funds for this purpose are annually provided -by one-tenth mill Relocation Tax Levy.

The public partner must create, through Urban Renewal, the opportunity for the private partner to invest. It is important, -therefore, to view Capital Centre as an Urban Renewal Project. Federal funds are available from the Urban Renewal Administration contingent upon meeting requirements and pro- cedmcs as set forth by the Administration. 1 he Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Sunt Paul is the organization through which the community "- will icf to utilize funds for this project Upon approval of the project by the Saint Paul City Council, the Authority will initiate actions leading to the first stake of Federal approval. Survey and planning activities will then be carried on under the direction of the Authority-, and upon it favorable con- clusion, the Authority would enter into it Loan and Grant con- tract with the hedcrtl Government for the financing of the project activities.

Van Hoef, Secretary 1002 Minnesota Building Saint Paul 1, Minnesota 9 01 THE Metropolitan Improvement Committee is a non-profit corporation comprised of business, labor and civic leaders, who have joined together for the purpose of advancing a community -wide renewal effort in metropolitan Saint Paul. Capital Centre is the first project to be developed and presented under the auspices of the Committee. This action follows the pattern set in many other cities throughout America -wherein an initial major renewal effort is applied to the Central Business District which, in turn, stimulates additional renewal activities throughout the community. The Committee has applied the funds, the time and the energy of its members, to help create Capital Centre as a proj- ect to be integrated with the objectives of the City Planning Board of Saint Paul, the Urban Renewal Program of the Fed- eral Government, and the procedures and practices of the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The progress that has been made in bringing the project to its present stage would not have been possible without the cooperation of a great many civic leaders, property owners within the area, and city and other governmental officials. Such help was indispensable and, in this instance, serves as a fine example of what can be accomplished when the total resources within a community are mobilized to meet common objectives. The Metropolitan Improvement Committee will main- tain a continuing interest in moving Capital Centre to'comple- tion. To the extent that it is needed, and within the scope of its functions, the Committee will work with the official agencies involved, and will assist property owners and businessmen in integrating their private plans with the overall program.

"Vacant, all other".. unit's comprise units which are for sale only, dilapidated, seasonal,'or held off the market for various reasons. Color Occupied housing units are classified by the color of the head of the household. The color group designated as "nonwhite" consists of such races or nationalities as the Negro, American Indiap, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, 'Asian Indian,` and Malayan races. Persons of Mexican birth or descent who are not definitely of In- dian or other nonwhite race are classified as white. f . Tenure A housing unit is "owner occupied" if the owner or co- owaer lives in the unit, even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. All other occupied units are classified as "renter occupied". whether or not cash rent is paid. Examples of units for which no cash rent is paid include units occupied in exchange for services rendered, units owned by relatives and occupied without payment of rent, and units occupied by sharecroppers. CONTEMPLATED RENEWAL AREAS -•; Three segments of the City are presently under study with the intent to initiate the necessary renewal actions.n. Neighborhood renewal planning is in progress in the Riverview General Neighborhood Renewal Area, Minn.- R-4(GN). A feasibility survey is in process in the Downtown Area of Saint Paul, known as the "Downtown Feasibility Survey, Minn. R-16(FS)". The Authority recently commenced neighborhood planning in the Cathedral Neighborhood Renewal Area, Minn. R-17(GN) and Federal approval and funds for the study are expected at a very early date. RIVERVIEW GNRP Our neighborhood planning, to date, serves to reveal five logical renewal project activities. Planning has progressed to a point that a reasonably accurate estimate of removals can be determined. Project I bounded generally by Wabasha Street,'the Bluff, the High Bridge and the Floodwall. Planning to date on this segment of the neighborhood serves to reveal that the area should.be renewed for all ° residential or all industrial use. Market informa- tion, yet to be gained, will serve to solidify the proposed action in this segment.of the neighborhood. It appears that the degree of dilapidation is such that all housing units should be removed. This segment of the neighborhood contains approximately 151 housing units. -4- Proiect bounded generally by Wabasha Street, the Fioodwall, Robert Street and Wood Street. Planning to date serves to indicate that this area should be developed primarily for industrial use, thereby re- moving all residential structures. This segment of the neighborhood presently contains 41 housing units. Proiect III bounded generally by Wood Street, Robert Street, Concord Street and Wabasha' Street. This segment of the neighborhood appears to be eligible for total residential clearance. Redevelopment ` would produce land primarily for commercial use in accordance with the Preliminary Land Use .Plan of the City PlanninglBoard. Such action would require the removal of approximately 184 housing units. Project IV bounded generally by Concord Street, Robert Street, the Chicago Great Western trackage and the proposed Highway #52. This segment of the neighborhood presently contains 772 dwelling units. In order to rearrange neighborhood streets, allow space for the expansion or developmept of community facilities, and remove structures which are beyond. economic repair, approximately 425 housing units will be removed through renewal action. New con- struction may slightly 'increase the number of stan- dard housing units in this segment in the future. -5- Proiect V bounded generally by the Chicago Great Western trackage, Robert Street, the Floodwal.l and a .hg Airport. The neighborhood contained approxi- umately 580 housing units, most of which would be acquired and demolished within. an unassisted pro- ject in; the neighborhood area. Removal is present- ly1being'performed by the Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul for the development of an Indus- tiial Park. The housing units to be removed within this segment are not reflected in the tabulation pf this ction. TH RA N A EA Al {ough neighborhood planning has only recently commenced, certain information presently gathered serves to give an in- dication of the probable number of housing units to be removed through renewal action. Approximately 39235 occupied housing units presently exist in the neighborhood. As neighborhood planning is in a very early stage, the information contained below must be considered as very preliminary: Proiect I Technical High Proiect bounded generally by Cathedral Place, Dayton Avenue, Arundel Street and the Freeway. A project in this segment of the neighborhood would include the acqui- sition of approximately 350 housing units for the development of the pfesently defined Technical High School site. Additional acquisition within this 6 0 defined project limit may require the acquisition. of an additional 502 housing units, or a total of approximately 852 housing units within this segment of the neighborhood. Pro.iect II bounded generally by Arundel Street, Marshall Avenue, St. Albans Strioet,and the Freeway. Presently, this segment of the neighborhood con- tains 685 housing units. It is expected that 50 to 55 per .cent of the housing structures would be removed by renewal action, or a total housing unit removal -of approximately 350 units. Proiect III bounded generally by Wyton Avenue, Summit Avenue, Maiden Lane, Holly Avenue and Arun- „ del St*eet. A project in this location may presently' contain approximately 1,550 housing units. It is assumed, at this time, that approximately W per- cent, -of the housing unitswouldbe removed by clear - 9 pp _. ante through renews actioni or a removal ofa rox- imately 300 housing units. New development is ex- petted to slightly increase the ultimate number 'of housing units in this segment after the renewal is completed. I- DOWNTOWN FEASIBILITY SURVEY AREA _-N Bounded generally by Kellogg Boulevard, Wabasha Street, Eleventh Street, Jackson Street, Tenth Street, Wacouta Street. The limits A - 7- of renewal projects in the Downtown Area have not, as yet, been defined. This segment of the community presently con- tains 248 housing units. In the event that a renewal pro- ject ...._: _ ject is initiated in the vicinity of Fourth and Jackson Streets,, it is assumed that such renewal action may serve to,/ remove less than 100 housing units. Three additional neighborhood renewal areas have been delineated, how- ever, no planning applications are pending within these neighborhoods. The three areas contemplated are as follows. HOLLOW GNRP Bounded by Western Avenue, St. Anthony Avenue, Grotto Street, University Avenue. SEVEN CORNERS NEIGHBORHOOD �1 Bounded generally by Hill Street, the St: Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha trackage, Wilkin Street, Sherman Street, the Plea- sant Avenue Freeway, Fifth Street, Exchange Street, Fourth i Street and Washington Street.

A total of 17,232 housing units were added to the local housing supply from 1950 through 1961. A total of 1,775 housing units were removed from the housing supply from 1958 through 1961. A recapitulation of this in- formation indicates, generally, the following: Av.•erage annual increase 1,436 housing units per year \. Average annual decrease 4" housing units per year \\ Net Increase 992 housing units per year v' HOUSING NEID The census information as revealed in the various census reports and as reviewed in conjunction with the 1950 census reports, reveals a much im- proved housing situation over the past ten year period. The vacant avail- able housing units for rant or for sale amounts to 2,416 housing units, which represents 2.36 per cent of the total housing units in the City. In comparison with this figure, .it should be noted that the vacant non- seasonal, non -dilapidated for rent or for sale housing units in Saint Paul in 1950 represented approximately 0.6 per cent of the total units in Saint Paul.. The vacancy ratio in Saint Paul has substantially in- creased; however, it has not as yet gained to a point that would allow a desirable rental mobility situation. Mobility of families within the housing supply should be accomplished when the vacancy of standard, available housing units reaches at least 3 per cent of the total housing - unit supply. 15 - It is expected that a portion of the,_spahe,provided through the renewal programs contemplated, as defined in this report, will be utilized for the development of new housing units. The, three forms of housing that appear to be necessary include private housing of the one and two fam- ily or apartment type, relocation housing at a rental scale which will assist in the relocation of families from renewal areas, and public housing. The Authority is operating, constructing, or is presently designing a total of 1,869 public housing units. It appears from infor- mation gathered to date that public housing construction will be neces- sary over and above the total amount contained in the first reservation of 2,000 public housing units. The development of private housing units for rental purposes will be stimulated and promoted by the Authority and space for such units will be provided within the renewal areas contem- plated. 16 j� 16 TABIZ I CITY PLANNIN4 tOARD Or SAINT PAUL l 1915 Courthouse May 3, 1962 708 Dr. Hanson nm N.

Pest Growth Patters - Tae area grew at a rats of about 36 housing -units par year year period between 1950 Gad 1950- However, the rete for the Us t three years of that period (1957-1960) was 92 honing -units per year. The 1960 Census showed 1,307 bousiag-smite and 4,2S4 persons within the area at that time. Present Development - The high rate of growth between 1957 and 1960 was due to a great extent to a large development that was built north of Wheelock Park- way and west of Edgerton Street. This development was essentially complete by 1960 and it is, therefore, reasonable to assume that the growth rete was some- what lower between 1960 and 1962 than during the 1957-1960 period. For this reason a somewhat arbitrery-figure of 90 bowing -units per year was used to arrive at the 1962 estimate of 1,470 housing -units. using the 1960 ratio of pirscas per housing -unit of 3.25 provides an estimated 1962 population of about 4,780. The 1960 ratio if K -S school pupils per 100 population was about 9.9 for tbel arsa wast of Arcade Street. Applying this ratio to the estimated 1962 p*ulAtion indicates a public school K-6 population within the Wheelock area of about 470 pupils. Future Dowel t - Development in the -area should proceed at a steady and fairly rep Psea to the ultimate potential of 20000-2,200 housing -units and a total populatlaa of 6,500-7,150 persons. Assuming the 1960 ratio of public school K-6 pupils per 100 populatiaa would indicate that 640-710 pupils will have tobe served by public aiseeaIM school at ultimate development. It is felt that full development will ooaar sometime between 197S and 1990. It could conceivably be sooner, however...

Ultimate Planning Board 3,590-3,500 (est.) 10,250-110,750 (est.) «2-- The following conclusions' relating to the Southwest Neighborhood may be derived .from Table II. Past Growth Pattsm • This ares appuently had a growth rate of. about. 56 housing- units per year between 1957 and 1960. ?his, after a drop in number of housing- units between 1950 and 1957, probably due to acquisition for the freeway. The 19E0 Census reports 3,191 bowing-units and 9,610 persons within'the area for a pamons-per•housing-unit ratio of 5.07. Present Dewl eat - The relatively high growth rate between 1957 and 1960 was probably , to soros extent, to rsplaoement of housing-units lost to the free- way and is not likely to have Continued mints 1960. Therefore, a somewhat arbi- trary figure of 20 howiag-uaits per yea! Mab used to arrive at the estimated 1962 figures of 30230 housing-units and 9,920 persons. Applying the 1960 'ratio of 9.9 public school K-6 pupils per 100 population to the 1962 population estimate Indi- cates that there are about 960 such pupils in the area at this time. Future Dewlopsent - Future development in the area will likely be-sporadic due iso a cuLZ as of most of the remaining vacant land. The ultimate potential is estimated at from 3,350-3,500 housing-units and 10,280-10,750 persons depending on what proportion of new housing-units are in multi-family dwellings. Again, because of the nature of remaining vacant land, it seems reasonable to 4"ums that quite a number of apartment units might be built. About 1,020-1,070 public school K-6 pupils,at ultimate development is indicated by application of the 9.9 pupils per 100 populatisn to the ultimate population estimate. However, miens sucb of the future development is likely to be in apartments which will not contributor greatly to lbN child population, actual public school k-6 population will probably not exceed the 1962 estimate by any great extent. There ars presently three elements" schools locatod within the areas as delineated. They are Phalea, built In 1903 amt, built in 1667; and Ericsson, built in 1890. It is likely that all of these 'schools will be due for replacement in the not too distant future. It is suggested that they be replaced by a single new facility to serve the area as delineated, an an adequate *its mediately across Edgerton Street fres the existing Ericsson School and adjoining the north edge of Wilder Playground. Such a facility would require about 34 classrooms, would be central to the pro- posed neighborhood service ares, and would form a joint-use facility with Wilder Playground.

Saint Paul's Plan for Fire Stations includes an inventory, analysis, and a Plan and program of action. It tests the .City as to the adequacy of fire -station distribution in relation to the fire -protection services re- quired to meet the needs of the citizens The Plan recommends correc- tion of deficiencies and inadequacies and proposes priorities for budget- ing to accomplish the recommendations for the retention, rebuilding, consolidation, and relocation of existing fire stations, and the construc- tion of stations at new sites. The staff of the Planning Board prepared this report and the data, analy- sis and recommendations contained herein have been carefully studied and reviewed by the Planning Board, Fire Chief Frank E. Oberg of the Saint Paul Fire Department, and William C. Freitag, ,Chief Engineer of the Fire Underwriters' Inspection Bureau for the district comprised of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Board is deeply appreci- ative of the assistancerendered in the assembly and analysis of the data contained herein and of the interpretation of the data into a Plan and pre- pared program of action. Respectfully submitted, Judson D. Hilton, JDH: FS Chairman ABOUT THIS REPORT This study presents a Plan and a suggested program of action to provide optimum fire -station coverage and services to all areas of the City at a minimum cost to the tax -payers. The program of action includes a schedule of abandoning certain sta- tions; retaining, consolidating, rebuilding, or relocating others; and constructing new stations at new sites. The report, dealing with one phase of the public services provided by a city for the welfare of its citizens, is a part of the Plan for Community Facilities. The Plan for Community ,Facilities is, in turn, an element of the Comprehensive City Plan, a document intended to help direct city growth in the areas of land -use, thoroughfares, capital improvements, as well as community facilities. The first, and major, element of the Community Facilities Plan is the Plan for Pub- lic Educational,' Recreational, and Cultural Facilities, published by the Planning Board in November 1960. This report dealt with the city's need in the closely re- . lated areas of public schools , parks , playgrounds , athletic. fields , stadia, librar- ies, etc. The second element is considered herein, and deals with the city's needs relative to an adequate number of properly located fire stations. The fire stations provide the basis for the fire -prevention and fire -fighting service of the City, and their proper location is essential if the Fire Department is to operate effectively. Other aspects of fire -fighting service to the City, such as equipment requirements, training procedures, personnel, etc, are properly the concern of the Fire Depart- ment and the City Council, and are dealt with only where necessary in this report. les In addition to its role in the development of the Comprehensive City Plan, this re- port should prove useful in two other areas. One is in regard to the National Board ' of Fire Underwriters' grading of cities for fire insurance rate purposes. This is dealCwith in Chapter I. The other area is in the formulation of a Capital Improve- kIN ments Program for the City of Saint Paul. New fire -station buildings are another qe capital expenditure item for which the City must provide funds if the Fire Depart- ment equipment and personnel are to be properly located and continue to operate? effectively. The study was prepared under the general direction of Herbert C. Wieland, Planning Director, and Burdette R. Teig, Assistant Director, who also edited the report. 4K The preliminary draft of this report was prepared by C. Allan Blomquist, formerly Senior City Planner of this agency. In charge of the preparation of revisions and the final Plan and report was Donald Cosgrove, Assistant City Planner, who was assisted by Kenneth Betz, Junior City Planner. Other staff members who partici- pated in the preparation of the report are: Eugene Barlow, Junior Planning Tech- nician, who prepared the art work assisted by Frank Hogrefe and Adrian Brown, Junior Planning Technicians; Frances D.

Introduction A. Purpose, Scope, and Methodology The purpose of this study is to find a way in which to provide complete fire -station coverage of all parts of the City with a minimum number of stations, and to make it possible for the appropriate authorities to schedule abandonments and capital improvement projects so that each stage of the long-range program will bring im- proved fire protection throughout the entire City. The scope of the study is primarily oriented to the question of a plan for sites for fire stations, but necessary data on land use, structural quality, water, streets, special hazards, operations, manpower, costs, and facilities also have been in- cluded. The methodologyused has included a number of standard city planning map analyses and research procedures, and procedures recommended by Mr. William Freitag of the Fire Underwriters' Inspection Bureau. The help and advice of Fire Chief Frank Oberg and his staff were very helpful in the preparation of the study. The study of fire -station locations has been developed simultaneously with the de- velopment of the Thoroughfare Plan. While the Thoroughfare Planis still in the pre- liminary stages, many of its major proposals are expected to remain intact. By developing these Plans simultaneously, it has been possible to co-ordinate the fire -station site proposals with the proposed major street system, and to eliminate any conflicts that may have arisen. B. Higher Rating and Lower Rates The average citizen usually is more directly concerned with the fire -insurance rate on his home or business structure than he is with the details of the total fire- fighting system. "He normally is interested in the latter only to the extent that it affects his tax rate and that he receives adequate fire protection. However, his insurance rate depends, to a considerable extent, on the effectiveness of the fire- fighting system, and this can be only as good as tax revenues permit. Saint Paul is presently a Class 3 City under the National Board of Fire Underwriters' I 1 TABLE 1 grading system, and should strive to reach Class 2 status. The Underwriters'; P rw RELATIVE VALUES AND MAXIMUM DEFICIENCY POINTS grading system is based upon a maximum of 5,000 deficiency points distributed as National Board of Fire Underwriters' Grading Schedule shown in Table 1. - Per Cent Points A city is examined and the deficiency points assigned on the basis of numerous, detailed factors under each of the above categories, and the penalty points are Water Supply 34% 1,700 assigned and totaled. The fire insurance. "class" is then assigned as shown in Fire Department 30 11500 Table 2. Fire Alarm ' 11 550 ,.r Policpartment 1 50 The class is important to owners of commercial and industrial property in that a Fire Prevention 6 300 change dpward from Class 3 to Class 2 on the grading scale by Saint Paul could .�..,....

Residential property already gets the lowest rates because these are ob- t tained when a city reaches Class 4 status. The last comprehensive survey of Total 100% 5,000 Saint Paul by the National Board of Fire Underwriters was done in 1952 and the re - suiting deficiency scores and gradings are shown in Table 3.

Over - 4,500 Tenth u` A study was made in 1950 and Saint Paul received 1,586 deficiency points which Source Standard Schedule for Grading Cities and would have caused it to drop to Class 4. However, a number of fire trucks were Towns of the U. S. with reference to their Fire De- on order for delivery in 1951, so the classification was not lowered. The City was ,..,., fenses and Physical Conditions, National Board of restudied in 1952 after the new apparatus had been delivered, and the Class 3 sta- I 100 Fire Underwriters, 1956. tus was retained. 2 3 „ Since 1952, a new Building Code has been adopted, old buildings have been torn down, extensive improvements to the water system have been made, three new fire stations have been built, the number of fire -department personnel has been increas- ed from 378 to 459, fire -fighting methods have been improved, a start has been made toward improving the training program, 19 pieces of new equipment have been purchased, and the total population has remained fairly constant. These are all "plus" factors, to one degree or another.* However, in the same time -period, traffic congestion has increased, buildings have aged, new high-value business and industrial buildings have been built, and the fire -fighting apparatus has aged. Thus, the net effect may be no change in the classification; at best, the deficiency points may have been decreased enough to enable the City to come very close to a Class 2 classification. With a 1952 total of 1,353 deficiency points, Saint Paul must do away with a mini- mum of 353 points to attain Class 2, and it is essential that points be reduced further in order to assure a comfortable margin within that classification. A new National Board of Fire Underwriters' Survey was completed in Minneapolis in 1960, and Saint Paul is due for another survey in 1962. The three principal areas in which the most points might be eliminated are: (1) the water supply (362) , (2) structural conditions (315) and, (3) Fire Department (344) categories. The water supply sys- tem has undergone considerable change since 1952, and more improvements are scheduled. Area 2, structural conditions, would seem to have been influenced con- siderably by the redevelopment and Capitol Approach projects. Future urban renew- al projects should have an even greater impact upon obsolescence. However, most of the deficiency points did not accrue to Saint Paul for structural conditions in the predominantly residential areas in which redevelopment and urban renewal projects are located. The bulk of the deficiency points accrued because of structural con- ditions in the 201 -acre "Congested Value District," which includes most of the Cen- tral Business District. Two blocks in this area were identified by the National Board of Fire Underwriters as "Block in Which Conflagration Hazard is Marked." One was bounded by Wabasha, Seventh, Cedar, and Sixth. This block is to be cleared for the new Dayton's store. The other block is bounded by Robert, Seventh, Jackson, and Sixth. Another block, that in which the Civic Auditorium is located, *Certain qualifications may determine the degree to which these are "plus" factors in classification considerations. (1) The value of the Building Code is dependent upon its comprehensiveness and its enforcement. (2) The extensive water system improvements have been designed to alleviate past domestic consumption shortages, and only the water supply in excess of over-all consumption can be credited for fire -fighting classification. (3) Many of the new fire -station buildings are re- placements for old structures and, by themselves, do not materially increase the fire -fighting potential of the Department. (4) Personnel increases are not the sole criteria; rather, it is the number of actual men on duty and immediately available for fire -department response that is important. (5) Most of the nineteen pieces of new equipment are replacements for obsolete equipment. Since 1951, only 3 pump- ers and 3 ladder trucks are additional equipment: was identified as having "excessive areas" unsprinklered and/or non -fire-resistant. With respect to these and the other blocks in the congested -value district, the Nat- ional Board of Fire Underwriters' report says, "In many blocks in the congested - value district, weak construction lacking fire -resistive features makes severe group to block fires probable, and which, under favorable conditions, could readily cross the streets of only fair width, and involve adjoining blocks. However, with over one-half of the built -on area, of fire -proof construction or sprinklered, fairly good fire -fighting facilities and powerful outside aid available, such fires should not in- volve considerable portions of the district." While the deficiency points awarded because of water supply and structural condition inadequacies are serious matters, the concern of this report is the exploration of means to reduce the number of deficiency points awarded in area 3, the Fire Depart- ment. . In the detailed grading of the fire department category which cost the City 344 deficiency points in 1952, the big losses (159' points) came because the Depart- ment was undermanned; it only had 109 men per shift instead of the required 197 men, a shortage of 88 men. Apparatus were manned by three to four men instead of six to seven men as required. Additional points were lost because the City had 23 hose or pumper companies instead of the 28 required and was short two ladder trucks. C. Goals and Standards . Saint Paul tax -payers deserve the best possible fire protection, and the lowest possible insurance rates. The capital costs of adequate protection need not be high if over the next 20 years a continuous program for the replacement of fire stations and a better distribution of companies proceeds according to a plan which can achieve complete coverage with a minimum number of stations. Such a plan was prepared in Providence, Rhode Island in 1943. A $1,750,000 bond issue was ap- proved in 1947, and by 1951 Providence had built nine new stations, retained seven existing stations and abandoned 23 old stations. They reduced the number of sta- tions from 30 to 17 and gained 84 men to distribute to under -staffed companies. 1. Service Radius - The critical factors in the planning of a system of fire stations are the National Board of Fire Underwriters' requirements that there be a first -due company (engine, hose or engine -ladder) within 1-1/2 miles in built-up residential areas, and within 3/4 mile in high-value districts. A ladder company should be within one mile of high-value districts and within two miles of built-up residential. areas. Application of these standards is made difficult by virtue of the fact that many of the existing stations are poorly located with respect to these requirements. Thus, in Saint Paul, there are a number of "unserved" areas and an even larger number of areas of "over -lap" served by two or more stations. The problem is one of both increasing the coverage and reducing the over -lap. Because of the distri- bution of the existing stations and since many of them have aged sufficiently to be t replaced, they should be replaced at new locations which meet the service -area standards., It costs Saint Paul about $160, 000 for.salaries and overhead each year to operate a two -company station.1 A new station would cost $135,000 to $175,000. Thus, the really significant savings over the years from a system of fewer stations at prime locations is not in site and construction costs, but in the yearly cost of overhead and salaries saved if unneeded, poorly -located stations are eliminated. A plan calling for a minimum number of stations consistant with coverage require- ments causes the greatest savings by a better utilization of personnel. There is no change_.actually_ta-ceAuce__ttLe_.tRta1_petFonnel._....S nc2_com_panies_ are presently undermanned with only three and four men instead of six and seven per company as required by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. The big gain lies in the better utilization of the men. 2. Site Size and Location There are three costs that make it important that sta- tion locations meet the above area -service standards: capital costs, operating costs, and insurance costs. The capital cost includes three items: site, build- ing, and major equipment. Of these., only the site cost is a major variable, and it is on this item that many cities have attempted to save money in the past, but with the very opposite results.. Two or Three Thousand Dollars might be saved on a site, but resulting additional operatip costs over 20 years could approach $3,000,000. An illustration of this falseeconomy is the building of three stations served by six companies on relatively inexpensive and inadequate sites instead of acquiring two adequate sites possibly at more cost to serve the same area with two stations and four companies. This hypothetical planning and cost problem is magnified in a city of Saint Paul's size where there are so many older stations and new ones may be built only one or two at a time while maintaining complete cover- age at all times. As a rule, the average two -door fire -station site need only measure 120' x 150' as a minimum, the size of two or three standard residential lots. A corner location.. off but near one or more major streets with considerable continuity is desirable so as to assure a flexible system of direct radials to all points in the service district. The site should not be at a signalized intersection where the stacking of vehicles would block egress from the station. While the "service district" is the`atea f primary coverage, all stations must be prepared to cover second fires in adjacent service districts when the companies from the stations in these districts are al- ready at a fire. In addition, they must be prepared to assist on multiple -alarm fires (almost all fires get response from two or three different stations) in adjacent service districts. Therefore, it also is important that the site should be located near primary or secondary streets leading into the adjacent service districts. D. Fire Prevention Primary responsibility for fire -prevention activities lies with the central Fire Pre- vention Division. It uncovered 4,756 ordinance violations in 1959. Periodic in - 1 1961 data, Saint Paul Fire Department, spection of all premises. within the service district is also a responsibility of sta- tion personnel, both'�Ls-'a device to uncover and eliminate hazards and as a means to acquaint the firerri, with their service area and its streets and buildings. Be- cause of two-way radio, companies can be away from the stations on inspection trips and still -be on call to go to.fires. As a further responsibility, 'station per- sonnel pahicipate in fire -prevention programs, fight -blight programs, clean-up pain -up campaigns, and other programs which bear directly or indirectly on fire pzhevention within the service district. Since such programs are frequently con- ducted in conjunction with existing organized local citizen -groups, fire -station service districts should correspond as much as possible to the "communities" iden- tified in the "Proposed Plan for Educational, Recreational, and Cultural Facilities," Community Plan Report Number 9, and the "Preliminary Land Use Plan," Community Plan Report Number B. If this can be accomplished, organized citizen -participation will be mobilized more readily on behalf of fire -prevention efforts within the ser- vice district. Probably the most significant existing fire -prevention Hetivity is the recently in- augurated bi-annual spring inspection of all residential`,',lpremises in the City by fire department personnel, and the effort of obtaining voluntary compliance with good fire -prevention practices. For example, the 1960 inspection involved 61,064 residential structures and 6, 171 defects were found. Potential benefits to fire - prevention activity will accrue through the urban renewal programs of Area Redevel- opment, Rehabilitation, and Conservation. Two other potential fire -prevention tools are a new zoning ordinance prohibiting the mixing of residential and indus- trial uses and a more adequate housing code requiring proper maintenance of all existing residential structures. E. Fire Fighting BasicAo fire fighting is the need for an adequate supply of water with sufficient pressure at hydrants at all points in the City. This report will not consider this factor since it does not relate directly to fire -station site locations. As an indi- cation of its magnitude however, there are approximately 6,000 fire hydrants with- in the city limits. Fire runs are hampered in several instances by traffic congestion, absence of streets, poor condition of streets, topography, flood potential, and railroad cross- ings at grade. These factors will be discussed later in the report as they apply to each planning recommendation. They cost the City 33 deficiency points in the 1952 study, with railroad grade -crossings being the principal factor. They are import- ant to this study in that they relate directly to city planning, as it affects sub- division, street, highway, public facility, and urban renewal designs. As shown in Table 4, the Fire Department is staffed by a complement of 459 paid personnel. It operates on a two -platoon, average 60 -hour -per -man -per -week basis. Its budgeted operating cost for 1961 is $3,133,621. In 1961, it operated 20 sta- tions and a total of 62 pieces of mobile equipment. Administratively, there are 1h TABLE 4 PERSONNEL OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Saint Paul, 1950-61 *Includes District Chiefs who properly could be grouped with the Fire Fighters. . Source: Saint Paul Fire Department, 1961. five districts, and within each of these administrative districts there are five to eight companies. As shown in Table 5, the 30 companies are housed in the 20 sta- tions and a station contains one to three companies. A number of the stations also houses reserve and special equipment. There is one company of men for each piece of fire -fighting apparatus in regular use; 12 pieces of older apparatus are on reserve and 6 pieces of specialized equipment are on stand-by status. The inventory of apparatus in Table 6 is arranged with the oldest apparatus at the top of the list and the newest at the bottom. Study of the data shown reveals that even though much new apparatus has been purchased since '1950; a large proportion of the apparatus is extremely old. Most of the older apparatus is in "reserve" sta- tus. When the manned companies are at a fire, off-duty firemen are called in to man the reserve apparatus and it becomes "active" and goes to any new fire or to the existing fire if required. However, if it an antiquated piece, it gives anti- quated service when modern service is needed. Fortunately, so far, the older re- serve pieces have not had especially heavy duties to perform, but with each pass- ing year the chances of heavy duty and of failure increase. Another problem relating to fire -fighting is that of the distribution of different types of apparatus. On the basis of the Fire Underwriters' present grading system, engine Fire Bldg.

Evaluation of Existing Conditions . A. Inventory Following is a series of. chart studies and explanatory text designed to illustrate the optimum fire -fighting service zones of the Fire Department as they now exist. These charts are numbered 1 through 8. In Chapter III, Charts 9 through 13 illus- trate the optimum fire -fighting service zones that could be achieved through a planned relocation of some of the existing stations coupled with the construction of several new ones. The term "optimum" is used in describing these service zones for a good reason. The service zone is the area of the City for which a particular fire -fighting company normally provides protection. For optimum protection, an engine company should have to go no further than 3/4 of a mile from the fire station to reach a fire in high- value property.* This then, is the optimum service zone, the area within 3/4 mile driving distance from the fire station, referred to in this report as the "service zone." In an ideal situation, there should be enough well located fire stations so that all property within the City would be within a service zone (as just defined) and there would be no overlapping of service zones. However, the cost of build- ing and maintaining such a fire -station network would be prohibitive. Because the existing fire -station network is naturally short of this ideal, in practice fire depart- ment companies answer calls beyond the optimum service areas of their fire station. However, the object of this report'is to aid in the attempt to approach the ideal situation described above; therefore, the charts following are drawn in terms of the optimum conditions. Areas of the City outside of the service zones, desig- nated "unserved areas," are unserved only in the sense that they do not receive optimum fire -fighting service. It is the object of the inventory series following to identify these "unserved areas" and, in Chapter III of the report, to present a plan for future fire -station location that would reduce to the greatest extent practical the anticipated unserved areas based on the best available estimate of future land use. * This distance varies depending on the type of property (residential or high-value) and the apparatus called for (engine company or ladder company) . For other dis- tances, see page 8, paragraph 3. B. Hazards and High -Value Areas once a city has achieved Class 4 status, the principal insurance rate benefits from improved fire -fighting and fire -prevention activities accrue to the owners of institutional, public, commercial, and industrial properties. Residential property gets improved protection, of course, but the insurance rates are not affected. In most instances, the above-mentioned four types of property also represent the most potentially hazardous type of land use, and would incur the greatest personal and property losses from a fire. This is particularly true for commercial and indus- trial properties which constitute the "high value areas" noted in the charts. In considering the location of fire stations in the City, it is desirable that they be located so as to maximize the amount of commercial and industrial property within 3/4 mile of engine companies and within 1 mile of ladder companies. As stations are relocated and rebuilt in the future, if this can be done with cognizance of anti- cipated land -use patterns, the chances for less fire loss and for achieving lower rates for commercial and industrial property will be increased. The location of hazards and high-value areas can be found in Community Plan Re- port 8, "Saint Paul's Land Use Plan," prepared by the City Planning Board. They include those commercial and industrial areas shown on Charts 22, 23, 24; the railroad building areas on Chart 25; some of the vacant land on Chart 28; some of the public and semi-public uses shown on Charts 26 and 27; and some of the apart- ment structures shown on Charts 20 and 21. The high-density areas identified on Charts 31 through 38 give some indication where loss of life might be expected be- cause generally crowded living conditions prevail. Each of these small-scale charts 'in Community Plan Report 8 was taken frdm the larger, more detailed work - maps (1,000' scale, 42" x 60") on file in the Planning Board office. 12 13 Chart 1 ° Existing Fire Station Location Chart 1 shows the location of the 20 fire stations now serving Saint Paul. The Fire Department number- ing of the stations is shown, along with the year in which the station was built. The fire -station buildings are all two-story brick structures, and almost all are "double houses;" that is, they have double doors and are capable of hous- ing two fire companies. This is necessary if both an engine company and a ladder company are to oper- ate from the same station. The only fire stations in Saint Paul that are not "double houses" are Fire Sta- tions #3, #17, #23, and #24. Each fire station houses an engine company, whose primary function is fire -fighting. Eight of the sta- tions also house ladder companies , whose primary function is rescue work. Other equipment housed in the various fire stations is shown in Table 5. The following charts will consider the locations of the fire stations and their companies on the basis of the adequacy of distribution of service areas; that is, the fire -fighting coverage which the locations afford. Aside from this consideration, it is apparent that many of the buildings have reached an age which war- rants replacement. Only 11 of the 20 stations are less than 50 years old. The high yearly cost of re- pairing and ma ping old buildings, coupled with a building design the years have rendered in- efficient and obsolete, calls for replacement of many of these old buildings.

As has been noted, many of the stations are very old; others are inefficiently located resulting in unnecessary duplication of service to some areas and inadequate service to other areas of the City. .[Many additional residential areas will develop beyond Present service zones. However, it is not necessary at this time to evaluate in detail each fire station structure as to site, its functional sufficiency, and its life expectancy, though this should be done before final priorities for replacement are determined. It is sufficient to know that one is 93 years old and that nine are 50, or more, years of age. The important problem at this time is to identify those locations which will, if developed by 1970 or 1980, provide Saint Paul with an adequate distribution of companies and permit its Fire Department to move toward Class 1 status. Once such a plan has been thoroughly evaluated as to its merit as an ultimate proposal, it then can be studied for purposes of scheduling priorities and questions of detail, such as how equipment and manpower are to be assigned ultimately as well as dur- ing the time -period in which only parts of the Plan are accomplished. The recom- mendations on Table 7 include preliminary estimates of desirable timing, and they are given as suggestive only. I There are 8 new fire -station buildings proposed, which would take the. place of 11 existing stations which are either antiquated or poorly located. There would be a total of 17 engine companies in place of the present 20. It is proposed to add 2 additional ladder companies, bringing the total from 8 to 10. Additional proposals call for the construction of a fire station in the .Pig's Eye area at such time as the proposed industrial development warrants fire protection; also proposed is a joint - use building at the Riverto house a training school, shops, a fire boat, dispatchers' office, and the alarm center. It is suggested that one station be built immediatelv in 1962, with seven more to be built by 1969, at an average rate of one each year. In addition, two stations now 76 and 60 years of age should be replaced at, or near, their present sites. Seven additional stations now existing would ;)e retain- ed; the oldest of these would be only 58 years old in 1980. The plan for future fire -station location is shown in Chart 9, with accompanying data contained in Table 7. The chart series continues with Charts 10 through 13, which present the service that would be available to future land -use development. 30 LW At ultimate development,. there would be a total of 18 stations (including the sta- tion at Pig's Eye) and the joint trainingshop- fireboat center-sho fireboat station. Achieve- ment of this goal by 1980 could be scheduled according to the time -table' in Table 7 if bond -issue financing were to be used. If; however, an additional $135,000 were to be appropriated each year for the operating budget of the Department, the construction of one new or one replacement structure could be accomplished each year, and in approximately 15 years the Plan, as identified in Table 7 and Chart 9, could be achieved without a single dollar being expended on interest charges. This Plan, if carried through to fulfillment, will provide Saint Paul with the neces- sary fire stations to enable the Fire Department to provide optimum fire protection " to all parts of the City. Of course, the fire stations themselves are useless with- out adequate fire -fighting equipment and personnel. Attention must be given to necessary programming for all aspects of fire protection. if Saint Paul is to attain Class 2 by the time the next survey is made by the Nat- ional Board of Fire Underwriters. n 31 z Chart 9 Plan for Fire Station Location The location of the proposed eight new fire stations together with the nine locations that are -to be re- tained, are shown in Chart 9. Precise sites for new stations are not shown, other than to indicate gen- eral areas, or a particular intersection near which the station should be located. Timing for implementation of the plan is not fixed, other than the suggested. priorities contained in Table 7. However, in terms of the immediate fut- ure, the replacement of Stations #1 and #3 by a new station at Seventh and Walnut is urgent because Station 41 lies within the right-of-way of the Inter- §tate Freeway and loss of this station would seri- ously hamper fire defense in the Downtown or con- gested -value district. The Seventh and Walnut site has the approval of the Planning Board, the Traffic Engineer, and the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Second priority should be given to the replacement of Station #6, now 74 years old. The building of a new station at George and Humboldt would provide better service to the hilltop portions of the West Side. If yearly financing is utilized, a new East Side station. should be constructed in 1964 at White Bear and Conway, on a site already in Fire Depart- ment ownership. This station would replace Sta- tion #24, reduce the overlapping coverage from #9 and #24, and provide coverage for the rapidly de- veloping areas near Hudson Road. In addition, #24 is a "single" station, and is not built so as'to accommodate a ladder company as well as the en- gine company. The next logical step in implementing the Plan would be simultaneous replacement of Stations #14 and #18, to provide better service to the Highland and Mid- way areas. Consolidation of Stations #7 and #11 could be achieved through construction of a new station in the vicinity of Arcade and Margaret, and Stations #13 and #20 should be consolidated with a new station at or near the Baker school site. The exact location of the new fire -boat -training center site should be determined through the joint efforts of the Fire Department and the Saint Paul Port Authority. This building also should contain a new alarm center and dispatchers' office to re- place the existing inadequate one in.the Public Safety Building. w,.

If the federal government finds th4 satisfactory progress has� been made in meeting minimum established goals, the city iso recertified, which qualifies us to receive federal funds for urban renewal during the next year. At the time of our last recertification, we were told that we were in danger of loosing our certification unless a tentative draft of a long range Capital Improvement Program would be presented with our request for recertification in 1962. As the Mayor is charged with the responsibility of submitting the ComiRiunity Improvement Program, I am hereby requesting that each department and each special a ncy assign one person who will provide liaison with my officd and shall have the responsibility of completing the attached forms -pertaining to the agency's Capital Improvement Program. In order to evaluate the matter, the complete forms must be returned to Mr. Robert Trudeau in the Comptroller's office not later than December 15, 1961, so that detailed work may be started in the preparation of the city s Capital. Improvement Program. The city of Saint Paul will be required. to submit such a program each year with our request for recertification. C The development of this program is an essential part of a long range financial plan, which good planning dictates the city should prepare and review annually. R If any questions occur during the preparation of this material, would you kindly have them directed to Mr. Trudeau or Mr. John Connelly. I know I will have your cooperation in thi's important project. Sin* ely Wo GEORGE J VO is MAY R CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Letter of Instructions There are submitted herewith forms to be filled out by each department,cover- ing construction projects which are requested for a 5 -year program of Capital Improvements. Include in your department program only such projects as are; in your opinion, required during the next 5 years (1962 - 1966, inclusive). These forms should be filled out and returned as promptly as possible to Robert W. Trudeau, City Comptroller's office, not later than December 15, 1961. Information should be submitted on Forms A and B; four copies of each are to be made. The original and two copies are to be delivered to the Comptroller's Office, and one copy is to be retained for the department files. Where space provided on the form is not sufficient for a complete answer, please expand on a separate page. All projects are to be shown on the maps enclosed for your convenience, with the following colors designating the proposed atarting year of construction: 1962 — green 1964 - red 1966 — yellow 1963 - purple 1965 - pink DESCRIPTION OF FORMS' Form A: This form is to be used as a summary for recording capital projects. Capital projects consist of construction projects and the equipment necessary for their function. They are to include but not be restricted to the following: 1) Land 2) Grading and development of land 3) Major alterations and major repairs of. existing capital improvements 4) Equipment and furniture for building construction projects 5) Engineering or architect fees. DO NOT RECORD as a capital project ordinary repairs and maintenance. Each project described on this form should be supported, as required on Form B; please fill out all columns. "Date submitted" means the date that the department returns the completed forms to the City Comptroller's office. ✓ Use Column I to give each project a number for reference purposes. Column II is self-explanatory. A proposed method of financing should be designated in Column III, using abbre- viations as shown at the top of Form A. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - Letter of Instruction Page 2 Columns IV, V, VI and VII deal with dollar amounts and should be shown in thousands of dollars only; that ia, do not show the last three zeros. Column IV should include the total estimated cost of the project. Column V identifies the amount of money needed during the 5 -year period 1962-1966, inclusive. Use the Column under VI to identify the period in which expenditures have been or will be made. "Prior" figures should be the sums of money that have already been expended for projects which are overlapping into the 5 -year period. "Later" figures should show the sums of money that will be needed after the 5 -year period, providing, of course, the project is started during the 5 -year period. It is particularly important to fill in Column VII showing the additional annual operating costs wherever a project will involve such items. These will constitute a continuing annual expense which may constitute a serious burden on the city and must be carefully considered. The status of the project as of December 15, 1961 should be determined as closely as possible, and indicated in Column VIII, using the numerical code shown at the top of the form. Column IX is to be utilized in drawing attention to any pertinent matter not elsewhere considered, such as anticipated operating income or savings as a result of the proposed project. Form B; This form is for recording the more detailed information as to costs and supporting reasons for each project entered on the summary sheet, Form A.

McCollum �> Regional Administrator Housing and Home Finance Agency 360 North Michigan Avenue, Room 1500 Chicago 1, Illinois Dear Mr. McCollum, The City of Saint Paul, Minnesota hereby requests recertification for its Program of Community Improvement (Workable Program) for the year following the expiration of our current certification period. We, here in Saint Paul, believe we have entered into an exciting time in the history of our city, and that we have finally become a city on the move. Announcement of plans for many private and public improvements has provided the impetus and in- gredients for our expanding and growing community. To illustrate this march of progress, allow us to cite the following actions as concrete examples of performance: The Genexal Services Administration has announced its selection of a site for a new eleven -million dollar Federal Office Building to be located in downtown Saint Paul. Dayton's, a large retail shopping store chain, is currently constructing a 12 -million dollar facility in the heart of our city. M Sears -Roebuck and Company, nationally known,, and for many years located only in Minneapolis, has started building a five -million dollar retail store adjacent to the central business district of Saint Paul. The Hilton Hotel Corporation, world famous for its hotel operation, will soon. announce plans for the construction of a new 23 -story, ten -million dollar hotel in our downtown area. The Saint Paul City Council has approved an application from the local Housing and Redevelopment Authority for the construction of nearly 300 additional Public Housing units to be built in three separate sections of Saint Paul. This brings the total of (Insert additional sheet or sheets for policy stateoent if Accessary) 2 public housing units in Saint Paul to more than 2250. Attention must be brought here to the improvement made in this area, as the original allotment or plans formulated in 1949 called for the building of 2000 Public Housing units in Saint Paul. Of this. total,' 1286 'were completed prior to July, 1, 1960, a period of eleven years. Since July 1, 1960, however, 1014 Public Housing units have been built or approved by the city governing body. This time element covers slightly more than two years. _ The Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority has made a survey and �t planning applicafion to the Federal 'Government for a 12 block downtown, Urban Renewal project,, which is both eligible for renewal and which may be considered marketable. This was done after a feasibility survey was accomplished to deter- mine some of the basic unkown factors relative to dotiwntown renewal. The Port Authority of Saint Paul has started acquisition and clearance of, the land in the 350 acre, sixty-five million dollar Riverview Industrial and Re- creational Park project, located across the Mississippi River from the Central business area of our city. Our local Housing and Redevelopment Authority has had approved a General Neighborhood Renewal Program,£or the Cathedral area of Saint Paula Here again, a survey and planning application for the first project in this area, has been submitted to the regional office of the Urban Renewal Administrator for approval. One of the main reasons for the progress mentioned above has been the excellent cooperation generated among the civic, laboring, and business interests in Saint Paul since our spring city -election. It became quite evident at that time that the citizens of Saint Paul wanted an administration devoted to progress and sound government. Because of this spirit which has prevailed, the present administration has made every effort to push ahead with urban renewal programs, the Riverview Indust- rial Park development, freeways, the new Federal Office Building and other projects greatly needed by our community. 0 This combination of thinking, has made it possible for the substantial contri- butions mentioned in the opening paragraphs. ,% The Metropolitan Improvement Committee, a citizen action group named by the Mayor on August 18, 1960, and explained in detail in last year's application for recertification, has been one of the main organizations responsible in expediting community development and redevelopment. Because this committee has expanded from its original scope and purpose, the Mayor's office is currently engaged in selecting a city-wide volunteer, citizen's advisory committee as part of the overall future progress of our city. 2a We futher believe, that the caliber, of membcrship of the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority Ccm'iriissioD has bean strengthened by the recent appointment of two neva mcmbers namely; Mr. Patrick Towle and Mr. John Greenman. Both have outstanding administrative back- grounds and a keen interest in the future progress and development of Saint Paul You will recall that in our 1961 submission, I named four committees for the purpose of improving our Urban ..a:ral Program Planning. I am pleased to report that during the first ycLr that the success of the - committee's work, as measured by the prcc�ress made in the vavious--Lech- w nical aspects of our program, warrants the continuation of these'com- mittees. Over twenty meetings of the committees or sub -committees were held during the year. Some of the majo_^ agcc•:aplis::::r_-pts are the development of a Capital Improvement and a Public Ir:prove:.ient needs study, completion of a land subdivision ordinance, siE;nific-unt amendments to our housing and zoning codes, the help of advance plar:r.inin the organization and development of the year's community im_rovement program, and the major role of helping elected officials keep informed of the status of various aspects of the Urban Renewal Program. I think it is important to note that these committees :ave no legal authority to develop and maintain nro?rz-s, but they must wort: in the area of coordinating various agency an,i r:ureau programs that are defined in statutory and charter provisions, with financial limitations - indeed a difficult assignment. Under cur form of government this is the most practical and soundest approach in securing a Sound, long-range Urban Renewal Program. In addition, the Mayor's office has ecnducted discussions :._,.. about forty community leaders, concerning lc.: -rent housing, with emphasis on private financing. As a result of these meetings,we have appointed a committee composed of the housing chairman of_the Saint Paul Council of Human Relations, the executive chairman ca` the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, the chairman of the civic co=.Ittee of the Saint Paul Trades and Labor Assembly and the executive -secretary of the Saint Paul Board of Realtors -co study this phase of housing for Saint Paul. R We furthar believe and subscribe to the las-zing benefits of a constructive program fo.^ cc:amunity improvement. This program has been accelerated during, tae past twelve months. ,Ie submit further evidence in this summary and report, of our intent and program for the future along with additional documentation of our past year's performance. x 2b We respectfully request to receive your approval, and recertification .of the Program for Community, Improvement (Workable Program) upon the-expir- ation of our present certification. - In conclusion, allow me to express my sincere appreciation for the support, guidance and assistance your representatives have .given to our city government in the past. i Sin ely , VVI e orge avoulis M or i OBJECTIVE: To assure adequate standards of health, sanitation, and safety through a=comprehensive system of codes and ordinances which state the minimum conditions under which dwellings may lawfully be occupied.

All existing codes and ordinances ,of the City of Saint Paul were completely recodified on Dedenber 18, 1957. .This entire text is entitled "The Legislative Code of the City of Saint Paul" and was adopted by the City.Council. The standards for building construction are a part of 'the Legislative Code and include requirements covering structural stnall new construction fire plumbing, heating, esafety, lectrical, etc., apply . including alterations and major repairs. These requirements are con- stantly being revised and in addition they are completely reviewed periodically. The following Exhibits are attached.

Amendment was also made to the building code, permitting the use of stressed coverings for exterior walls. Y The 1961 community improvement program listed the plumbing code as last amended in 19SS. Late in 1961, a substantial amendment to the plumbing code was introduced to the Council. This plumbing code is in basic compliance with the National Plumbing Code and the Western Plumbing Code. This, in February of 1962, was referred back to a committee to make recommendations to the City Council. The committee completed their hearings on June 12, 1962, and it will be resubmitted to the Council for their consideration. The electrical code adopted in 1955 was changed with some substantial amendments in 1960. There were also slight revisions to the electrical code in 1961. The housing code was in effect in 1960 and was amended late in 1961. It was amended in 1961 and, as amended, has met approval of the Housing And Home Finance Agency. The major change in this ordinance was to include one and two family dwellings which were excluded previously. The zoning law, which was adopted in 1922, has been amended slightly in 1961. j It is expected in 1962 that the heating requirements, particularly that of steam and hot water, will be revised and brought up to date and that the elevator requirements, which are part of the general building code, will be reviewed and brought up to date late in 1962; and that following this the standards for the general construction of buildings will be reviewed late in 1962 and completed by June 1963. 1 The housing code enforcement was started early in 1961. It was very obvious, on the inception of the enforcement program, that there is very „little acceptance by the public and less experience in housing code enforcement than with other codes. Our enforcement procedure during 1961 confined us to training the entire staff and solving or enforcing violations on the basis of complaints: received, and correcting conditions which the office has known about for a long time, which were really substandard. We were assisted by the initiation of an industrial park development, which involved the almost complete wrecking and removal of some five hundred dwelling units 'comprising approximately 300 structures, which was started in 1961 and will be substantially completed by - 3b the middle of 1962. The vacation'of.many substandard units in tie area of 150 to 200 has been accomplished. Correction ofsuch items as third floor occupancy, overcrowding of dwelling units in the area of 200 corrections has been accomplished. For the first year, the building department received complaints relative to in- sufficient heat, limitations of use of electricity, deficiency or lacy of domestic hot water, and a number of these were satisfactorily enforced somewhat in the neighborhood of 25. All of this enforcement is accomplished by all of t,he•i-nspectors and they Y! are•operating under the authority and by virtue of,the building cod ordinance, the housing code, and the e, the zoning (' restrictaed residence act of 1915. A good many of the violations that we have run into have been accomplished and it`develops, as of today, the violations that are existing are in many cases existing by virtue of laws and approvals given which have subsequently appeared to be illegal. Five flagrant violations of one,or more of the above mentioned laws and ordinances have.been selected, investigations and research have been completed, and they are now in the hands of the corporation counsel's office, and the information received indicates that the complaints and necessary legal papers are substantially completed, and will be served on the affected persons in the very near future. All of this leads up to a situation where we are attempting to secure public acceptance on this broad phase of enforcement. The position has been taken by the enforcement agency, building department, that all new facilities before being occupied shall have a certificate of occupancy, and through the medium of the press, real estate agencies, and groups and other media, Certificates of Occupancy are being required when properties are transferred. The aid of the mortgage and loan institutions, the banks and trust companies has been solicited and their demanding the Certificates of Occupancy has brought into line many properties which formerly were entirely illegal. This is illustrated by one'case wherein the owner died four or five months ago, and the estate was probated by the trust company. Involved in the estate were four structures comprising some 70 odd dwelling units. Upon compliance with the ordinance including the housing code, this occupancy was reduced to less than forty units and the remaining facilities met all requirements. There was recently completed a wage and salary survey and a survey of assignment of titles of employees. The completion of this survey will facilitate the employment of four additional inspectors who will confine their activities entirely to housing code and allied code enforcements. This entire program has created an area of quasi acceptance of the various coded and ordinances. The Bureau of Public Buildings has condemned in the neighborhood of 150 structures comprising several hundred dwelling units, these being completely removed. In all cases, they were.so substandard that the provisions of the building code were applied rather than those of the housing code. 3c D. Schedule for the periodic review' and up -dating of codes.

Late in 1961, the City of Saint Paul through its Planning Board partici- pated in the drafting of a proposed Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Joint Land Use - Transportation Planning Program. On January 16th, local representatives participated in presenting the draft of the. Metropolitan Planning Commission's application for federal funds for this program to Housing and Home Finance Agency officials in Chicago. On January 17, 1962 the City Council of the City of Saint Paul passed a resolution "that the City of Saint Paul, in and through its Planning Department, with the assistance of other City Departments, intends to co-operate in the proposed joint land use and transportation planning program for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area." On January 24, 1962 the Twin Cities Metropolitan Planning Commission filed the formal application for federal funds for this program, On March 13, 1962 official notice was received from the Chicago regional office of grant approval together with an (See attachment "C") ` D.

Since this date, the participating agencies and governmental units have met several times to develop the general organizational framework for the conduct of the study. r Participating in this study has required substantial changes in our Work Program and the completion dates of a number of our projects. Many of the findings and conclusions of this joint study could substantially affect the Land Use and Thoroughfare elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan. These adjustments are described in the following for each item. 1. Land Use Plan. - Community Plan Report #8, "Saint Paul's Preliminary Land Use Plan" was completed, approved by the Planning Board on July 20, 1959 and published. In conjunction with the development of the Comprehensive Plan, the inventory of existing land use was up -dated last year. The Land Use Plan has been restudied for the past six months and with certain revisions will be used as an "interim final" plan until such time as the necessary findings and conclusions developed by the Met- ropolitan Area Joint Land Use -Transportation Planning Program can be integrated wherever necessary and the final land use plan and report then completed. In December of 1961 the Planning Board released the study "Saint Paul's Population Characteristics (See Exhibit C1-1) 1960 with Projections to 1970 and 1980." This is actually apart of the Land Use element of the. Comprehensive Plan and is designed to replace the section on population in the original Land Use report. It is proposed to continually review and up -date this element of the Comprehensive Plan in parallel with the development of the Joint Study. In January 1962, work was started on a plan for the Central Business District. A preliminary plan is due August 16, 1962. (See Exhibit C1-2) Additional data may be found in part (5) that follows. 2. Major Thoroughfare Plan. - The Preliminary Plan was completed and published as a draft in December 1960. The draft has been reviewed by other interested and affected agencies and discussions have been held and are continuing in an effort to obtain all around agreement on the proposals presented. ' Agreement with the City Public Works Department and Traffic Bureau is now within reach. As is the case in the Land Use element of the Comprehensive Plan, the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Joint Land Use - Transportation Planning Program findings could have a major impact upon this plan. An "interim final" plan should be available by September 10, 1962 and the policies, goals and standards it proposes will be used as a guide until the Joint Study has been completed. 3. Community Facilities Plan. Community Plan Report #9, "Saint Paul's Plan for Public Educational, Recreational, and Cultural Facilities" was approved by the Planning Board in September 1960 and published. The plan has been reviewed as part of the Comprehensive Plan development program. Any major„changes in, the Thorughfares element of the Comprehensive -Plan could result in changes in, community and neighborhood boundaries in the Community Facilities Plan. The changes in turn could affect the Sa location of schools and recreational facilities. At this time, the need for major changes appears remote and this element seems to be fairly valid. Community Plan Report #11, "Saint Paul's Plan for Fire Stations" was approved by .the Planning Board in December 1961. This is, actually an addendum to the Public Facilities Plan. 4. Public Improvements Program. A Capital Improvement Program and a needs study has been completed. See section on Finance for further details. S. Subdivision Regulations. A preliminary draft of subdivision regulations was Y' prepared by the staff in December 1960. It.was submitted to the�City Public 11orks Department for review. This review indicated a number of areas of disagree- ment between the staffs of the City Planning Board and Public Works Department. Several revised drafts were prepared and reviewed during the past year and a mutually acceptable draft has now been agreed upon. The eecity Council chhas surereferred this au for a report. revised draft to the City Attorney; City Eng (See Exhibit C-5) This proposal, was reviewed by the City Planning Board in June, 1962 and sent to the City Council with a f avorabie recommendation. 6. Zoning Ordinance. The basis for the Zoning Code and Map is' the Land Use Plan. Statements in previous recertification documents have indicated a complete revision of the Zoning Code and Map would be well under way by this time. The changes in the work program and completion time of other.elements of the Comprehensive Plan also affect the Zoning schedule. During the period of time that the Joint Study is under way only necessary and selected amendments to the Zoning Code will be prepared. On May 28, 1962 the Planning Board approved a proposed amendment to the Zoning Code establishing a new multi -residence district with max- imum densities somewhat lower than thase permitted in the present multi -family district. Another amendment is being drafted which will provide for exclusive industrial uses in the existing industrial districts.Still another amendment re- quested by the Planning Board to be prepared this summer will provide similar regulation of uses in the Commercial District. Copies of these proposed amendments are attached. (See Exhibit C-6) 7. Comprehensive Plan. The completed elements of the Plan have been restudied and are being up -dated. The incomplete elements have been completed to an "interim final" stage. All elements of the plan will be continuously studied and adjusted in parallel with the development of the Joint Land Use -Transportation Planning Program. In the meantime, the policies, 'goals, and standards proposed in the Com- prehensive Plan will be used as guides for making, planning and zoning decisions. It should be pointed out that the City's planning program is so structured that each element of the plan is periodically reviewed by the agency or department affected during the development stages and the final plan reflects broad and general agreement on the part of those concerned. In this respect the Public Facilities Plan was developed with the assistance and concurrence of those departments. Sb responsible for educational, recreational, and cultural facilities. The Thorough fare Plan reflects the thinking of the Public Works and Traffic Engineering staffs of the City in addition to the critical review of the Minnesota Highway Department Engineers. The' Fire Station Plan was .developed With the assistance of the Fire Chief and the Fire Underwriters. The subdivision Regulations have been reviewed by Public Works Department personnel responsible for much of the work required in new 'sub - divisions. In addition to these departmental reviews, the City Planning Board has also reviewed all phases of the Comprehensive Planning procedure. These professional and citizen appraisals have resulted in extending the time limits originally set for the com- pletion of the various. elements of the Plan.. In the. long run, however, it will result in a net savings in time because the completed products will have general acceptance at the time of adoption.

The City Planning Board is preparing an application for a Community Renewal Program to be submitted during September 1962. The following is a draft of the narrative description of the proposed activities to be carried out in developing this program. ( See attachment "E") Supplementary material required. To the extent that such material is available and has not been previously submitted. (1) Subnit o.ee copy of analyses, statistical data or estimates (including r..aps and charts) on the total blight problem of the locality (e.g. numbers an, locations of substandard units, data on occupancy characteristics) etc.) (2) Submit one copy of a map shoving the delineation of logical residential neigh- borhoods for p.lannipg purposes. The man should also indicate those neighbor- hoods where early action to correct conditions of Might is planned, if such information is known. (3) Sui)mit one copy of community -wide program for renewal activities. 9 Attachment "E" COMMUNITY RENEWAL PROGRAM APPLICATION Narrative Description of Proposed Activities General Goals The City of Saint Paul, through its Bureau of City Planning, proposes. to establish a full -range program of local urban renewal action based on the entire area of local needs and to utilize the community's financial, physical, and social re- sources and potential to undertake such renewal activities. The program is to be prepared with federal assistance administered by the Housing and Home Finance Agency. The program will include all of the documentation such as plans, reports, maps, and other data necessary to determine and lay out the course of action the City must adopt to effectuate such a program. Basically, the program will determine the following: 1. Identify slum or blighted, deteriorated or deteriorating areas in the City and the extent, nature, and trends of such blight and deterioration, 2, Determine the financial, relocation, housing, and other resources needed to carry out renewal in these areas and through a study of the economy of the City, determine the availability of such resources and their relation to urban renewal. 3, Identify potential projects and the types of urban renewal action, both public and private,. to renew these areas. 4. Develop a continuing long-range action program of urban renewal activities in terms of time, money, and public and private action necessary to direct all available local resources to meet the total need, such program to be in con- formity with the Comprehensive Plan of the City, Provisions will be made to keep the Community Renewal Program current to reflect changing conditions and needs. The program would also be an important adjunct to the City's Workable Program in that a number of the objectives for the several elements of the Workable Program will be,studied in considerable depth. Scope and Content of Program Due to topographical and other natural and man-made barriers, Saint Paul has been divided into 16 major areas of predominantly residential land use. These large areas or "communities" have been further subdivided into 49 sub -areas or "neighborhoods," These subdivisions have been created as the basic structure for all future planning and development. These units will serve as "study areal for the Community Renewal 9a Program. In some'sections'of the City, these communities are separated by sub- )stantial non-residential areas such as industrial districts, major trnasportation facilities and natural physical features. .These non-residential areas will also be studied for possible renewal treatment. The community renewal studies would utilize existing data pertinent to the studies which have already been assembled by participating agencies, up -dating of this data where necessary, and the collection of additional needed data to obtain the most accurate possible assessment of the problem would be the objective of further surveys and field studies. The development of the program would be closely related to and coordinated with the Comprehensive Community Plan. The program would recognize such factors as policies, standards and goals of the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The city-wide study and analyses would identify the areas requiring treatment, be it redevelopment, rehabilitation or conservation. The result of this phase of the study would be the identification of those neighborhoods in which general urban renewal problems exist. These neighborhoods would then be rated in each of their own communities and•the communities., in turn, rated on a city-wide basis. In this manner, it will be possible to set up a city-wide classification and priority system. An important element in the program will be citizen -participation. It is proposed to enlist the assistance of local neighborhood and community groups as the program begins in each community. The program must have the support and backing of these citizen -groups if successful and adequate conservation and rehabilitation projects are to be carried out. The Study Program Stage I 1. Identification of old residential and non-residential areas that are.de- teriorating, deteriorated, blighted or slums. The identification and evaluation of such city-wide renewal needs will be based on an analysis of currently existing information supplemented by field checks. Among the factors to be evaluated and classified. are the following: (a) Structural condition of buildings (b) Occupancy and rent (c) Environmental conditions (d) Inter -relationship of land uses (e) Migration factors These data will be analyzed for the purpose of'rating all residential communities and non-residential areas by the general types of urban renewal treatment required. In carrying out this analysis all usable and available data in the Bureau of City Planning, Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Health Department, Fire Prevention Bureau, Building Department, and other official agencies will be utilized. Field - 2 - 9b checks will be made wherever necessary to complete the analysis. These data will be adopted to present in mapped form. Once the preliminary city-wide renewal needs have been determined, it will be possible to establish priorities for those communities which should be analyzed in greater detail. Stage II In each community those renewal areas requiring more detailed study and inspection will be delineated and surveyed according to the priorities established in Stage I. The following determination will be made: 1.: The nature, degree, causes and trends of blight and blighting factors will be analyzed for each of these renewal areas considering such factors as deterioration of structures, over -crowding, inharmonious land uses, traffic conditions, lack of adequate public facilities and other factors. 2. Recommendations made in the Comprehensive Community Plan for, each •of these areas will be analyzed. Those recommendations which will contribute to the elimination of blighting conditions will be noted. Recommendations which are in conflict with the renewal program will be restudied so that appropriate adjustments can be made. These recommendations will have an important bearing on the type and timing of renewal action. 3. Identification of potential projects and a determination of the type or renewal action necessary for each area must be. made. For residential areas -this would con- sist of redevelopment, rehabilitation, conservation; or a combination of these treatments. A basic determination at this stage is the proper use or re -use of the land. 4. Relocation of displaced families. A determination must be made of the number of families which are likely to be subject to relocation together with their rent - paying ability. Stage III The goal of this final stage is the development of a continuing long-range action program in terms of time, money, public, and private action .,necessary to bring all local resources to bear on the problem. The first portion of this stage will deal in depth with city-wide factors and determinations as follows: 1. Economic and market studies and projections. These studies will attempt to identify the economic trends and growth prospects, local policies and actions which will greatly influence decisions on the character, location, and timing of renewal action. - 3 - 19c (a) Population growth (b) Employment trends (c) Potential community growth and economic development goals and how renewal and related actions can assist in their achievement. (d) Present and future housing supply and demand in.number and types of units and price. ranges. This will form the basis for determing the city's ability to absorb families displaced by urban renewal and other public actions. This phase will include the development of a system for maintaining an up-to-date housing inventory. (e) Determination of the city's potential role of utilization of land cleared through urban renewal action. (f) The Economic Study of the City published by the Planning Board in 1961 will be used as a basic reference in this study and additional material Will be developed as needed. 2. Evaluation the the City's requirements and resources available for urban renewal action. A. Relocation requirements (a) Existing housing inventory from (1) (d) (b) Total number of families to be displaced by all public action (c) Analysis of family characteristics as available from 1960 Federal Census (d) Population trends (available in Planning Board Report #13) (e) Migration patterns of families (f) Develop estimates of non-residential displacements caused by all public actions, evaluating availability of alternate sites, buildings, etc. (:g) Development of measures to provide sufficient and appropriate resources to meet all displacement needs. B. Financing (a) Estimated costs to Housing and Redevelopment Authority for acquistion and clearance of land and program administration (b) Cost to City of Saint Paul for provision of public improvements to Capital Improvement Program; costs of code enforcement; and other public actions (c) Fiscal condition of City in terms of borrowing capacity, out- standing debt, change in tax revenues., obligations for other development programs and other factors which will determine rate at which City can carry out urban renewal (d) Potential Additions and changes in Capital Improvements Program which could affect availability of funds for financing urban renewal. q _ 9d 3. .Correlation' and coordination'of all analyses and studies, both on community and city-wide levels, for a time -phased program of inter- related public and private action. This program will be expressed in terms of priorities and types of renewal action, coordinated with the City's development prospects and trends for a feasible and seasonable 'City's This program can be created in the following manner: A. Summarize the individual community renewal programs into a single city-wide program.° Each individual program would be reveiwed for its relationship to the other programs and evaluated in terms of its role or contribution toward the overall improve- ment of that community. B. Priorities will be assigned each community and adjusted as conditions and needs change. C. The administrative and legal tools will be examined to deter- mine their adequacy to carry out the urban renewal program. Where deficiencies are discovered means for improving them will be identified and recommendations made to the proper unit of govern- ment for the necessary corrections. D. The final schedule of priorities will be made after the final community renewal program has been completed. 4. An effective community renewal program must have wide -spread citizen- partici6ation if it is to be successful. The educational process must. begin and citizen support must be obtained every step of the way. Itis proposed to utilize citizen -participation at three levels: (a) Neighborhood (b) Community (c) City-wide Existing citizen -groups will be used where they already exist. This program will require special emphasis,on relocation and rehousing problems and special attention will be given this problem. 5 _ 9e ui� -OBJECTIVE: To identify and establish the administrative responsibility and capacity for carrying out overall program for Community -Improvement activities and for the enforcement of codes and ordinances. A. .Cordination. Describe changes since the list submission in the way in which the community's overall Program for Community Improvement is being coordinated. o The principle changes that .have occurred since the last submission are: .(1) the formal appointment of an interdepartmental technical committee to plan, develop, and coordinate the Urban Renewal Program together with a policy committee consisting of the Mayor and two city councilmen. (2) An increase in the number of meetings between the technical staffs of the Planning Board, Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Port Authority, City Departments and Metropolitan Improvement Committee and other Civic Organizations. (3) Agreement of the City Council to participate in a Metropolitan Land -Use Transportation study, (See attachment "A") B. Describe briefly progress made during the past year in strengthening any weak spots -- insufficient staff, ineffective procedures --in the community's administrative organ- ization for carrying out the Program. Attempts to correct weak spots in the Program are as follows.: 1. The City to participate in a Land Use -Transportation Study for the Metropolitan area. 2. The use of trained Building Inspectors for housing code enforcement' Plus providing funds for the employment of four additional inspectors. 3. Continue the work of a Policy and Technical Committee for the Urban Renewal Program. (See attachment B-4) C. Code R.nforcement: Describe briefly (a) any changes since the last submission in code enforcement techniques and (b) plans for improving the code enforcement program, including the time schedule for putting such plans into effect. We have instituted a more vigourous program of having prospective buyers ask for a Certificate of Occupancy on existing structures, particularily as they pertain to residential property and have recommended that obtaining a certificate be made a condition of sale.' This has been implemented by a series of talks to the real estate organizations. 10 F• Attachment "A" ADMINISTRATION The City of Saint Paul since 1914 has operated under a modified commission form of government. Voters elect a mayor, six councilmen and a city comptroller. The mayor and six councilmen have two basic duties: namely, (1) as a body. they act as legislators and (2) individually they are administrators, each in charge of a separate department of city government. *With reference to the latter duty, the mayor at the beginning of each term assigns a councilmen to head a department. _ Under the charter the head of a department is solely responsible for carrying out the duties and responsibilities within his jurisdiction, however, in practice there is a high degree of cooperation between departments. One of the principle reasons for this is that many programs and individual actions require the approval of the city council before they may be carried out. In these matters, the mayor functions as a co-ordinator in seeing that the best . interests of the city are maintained. However, he has no authority to demand or compel a department to carry out a certain program, action or activity. Beyond the activities of the mayor in assuming the responsibilities of his department and his relationship to the rest of the City Council, he,also appoints certain advisory committees to assist the city in various activities and studies. A listing of some of these committees which relate to planning 1. and urban renewal activity follows: ADVISORY BOARD ON SMOKE ELIMINATION AND AIR PURIFICATION, CITIZENS RECREATION DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, CITY TRAFFIC COMMITTEE, HOSPITAL FACILITY BUILDING COMMISSION, MAYOR'S RIVER SAFETY, DEVELOPMENT AND CONTROL COMMISSION, METROPOLITAN AREA, REGIONAL PLANNING COM- MISSION, SAINT PAUL CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, MINNEAPOLIS -ST. PAUL METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION, THE CITY ZONING BOARD, A METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT COORDINATION COMMITTEE,.+ CITIZENS HOUSING COMMITTEE, This year's Community Improvement Program has been the joint effort of the City Architect; Mr. Herbert Wieland, following personnel: Mr. Alfred Schroeder, Planning Board; Mr. William Carter, Housing and Redevelopment Authority; Mr. John Connelly, Council Investigation and Research Bureau; and Mr. Duane Gratz, Publicity Bureau. l0a Attachment "B-4" 4.. Appoint a Review Committee to assist departments in the preparation . and devel9pment of a Capital Improvement Program and a Needs Study. The responsibility for relocation planning is vested in the office of the central relocation information service. This agency was established as a result of an ' agreement between the City of St. Paul and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul, whereby the authority relocation staff would provide relocation assistance to all persons displaced by any public action. .Funds for this purpose are available from the relocation tax levy on real estate applied annually. 10b Attachment "C" d There are two departments in the City of Saint Paul who are basically responsible for carrying out the code enforcement program: Namely, (1) The Department of Parks and Recreation and Public Buildings, and (2) The Department of Public Safety. The Parks and Recreation and Public Buildings Department is charged with the enforcement of all ordinances relating to buildings within the city, their planning, construction, maintenance, fire protection and all other matters relating thereto according to the City Charter, and the Public Safety Department is concerned with health, sanitation and fire protection laws and regulations. There is no formal machinery as yet established requiring the coordination of the two departments. However, there is and always has been a good, cooperative working relationship between all levels of the two departments. The inspectors of the two departments are initially instructed and are continually reminded to be familiar with and recognize violations of regulations and to report them to the proper authorities. In addition, it is common practice for representatives from the Bureau of Public Buildings, the Bureau of Fire Prevention and the Bureau of Health to make joint inspections of property. Both departments operate in approximately the same manner. Inspections are made of all new and remodeling work for which a permit is required. Investigations are made on all complaints received either by telephone, letters or in person. In, addition, periodic inspections are made on the initiation of the various bureaus on a routine basis. Beginning in January, 1961 through a Federal State Grant, we have inaugurated an inspection and supervision program in all Nursing Homes, Boarding Care Homes and Foster Homes. In these inspections we utilize the full time service of one San- itation, one Nurse, and half-time services of a Senior Clerk -Stenographer. The number of housing sinpections dealing with health and sanitation conditions made by the Health Bureau during 1961 was 5,589. Housing Code enforcement was started in January, 1961. The enforcement is under the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Parks and Recreation and Public Buildings. During December 1960 and January 1961, the Bureau of Public Buildings compiled lists of multi -family dwellings from such sources as the assessor's records, the City Directory, the telephone directory, reports of Bureau of Health and Fire Prevention Bureau and from their own building inspection reports. All of the present inspectors in the Bureau of'Public Buildings are making housing code inspections along with their own building code work. In conjunction with these housing code inspections, all inspectors were given copies of the Housing Code in December, 1960 and indoctrinational meetings were held to reveiw the requirements, the report forms and general procedures. loc Attachment "C" continued The present procedure is that housing code inspections are to be made under the following conditions: 1. Whenever a housing code complaint is received 2. Whenever a.building code inspection is made on a family dwelling 3. When specific addresses are assigned to an inspector in accordance with the over-all plan of inspection of all family dwellings in the city. It is intended to give careful study to the housing code inspection methods and procedures and to the results obtained to determine what revisions or extensions of coverage should be made, if any, in order,to obtain the best re- sults in the urban renewal program. A comparison of the total dxpenditures for personnel -engaged in enforcement, plan checking and administrative activities by the Bureau of Public Buildings for 1960 and 1961 and 1962 is as follows: 1960 $401,287.06 1961 443,918,00 1962 475,888.00 The'City has not only been interested in improving its code enforcement pro- cedures, it has also taken steps to improve the quality of the existing regulations. This has been accomplished through two methods, namely, (1) the constant review and up -dating of existing standards of building construction where needed and as the work load permits, and (2) through the appointment by the Mayor of a technical committee, which is of recent or: to study exist- ing codes and make recommendations for improvements to the Mayor and the City Council. lod NOTE: If any data, provided below is for less than 12 months, give the beginning, and ending dates of the period actually covered.

Funds for carrying out Saint Paul's Workable Program are derived from the Real Estate and personal property taxes,, Fees, Licenses and special taxes. A charter amendment adopted by the voters in November 1960, changed a per capita taxing limitation to' a dollar limitation which for the year 1961 provided an increase in funds for city operating services other than schools to the extent of $1,853,555 and also provided in 1962 and 1963 an additignal $500,000 for each year over the previous year. Saint Paul has since the 1930's consistently maintained a high tax collection ratio as well as in each succeeding year an increase in funds available for City Programs. With these increases in available resources, funds for building and zoning code enforcement of health and other regulations have been steadily increased during past years. Although these increases have been needed to handle the increasing work loads due to increased construction and higher salary costs, they have also been made large enough to include additional necessary personnel required for urban renewal and related activities. (See attachment "D") E. If one or more Federally -assisted Urban Renewal, projects are contemplated, what tentative plans, if any, have been made to provide the community's share of project costs? Under our State enabling legislation Provision has been made for a tax levy to provide the community's share of Urban Renewal Projects. For St. Paul this amounts to approximately a quarter of a million dollars annually. The Redevelopment Tax Levy has been part of taxing program of the City of Saint Paul since the start of its urban renewal program. The present maximum levy is one mill. Following the passage of enabling legislation by the State Legislature in 1959, the City may impose an additional one-tenth of one mill levy for the purpose of financing relocation assistance to all persons displaced by any public action. For relocation purposes, said mill levy has been budgeted in 1960 and 1961 and 1962.. . (Continued See attachment "E" Supplementary material required. Submit one copy of capital improvements budget or similar program if available. H Attachment "C" FINANCING SECTION By law, each city department and special agency is charged with the development and implementation of a Public Improvement Program within the scope of its operation. Through the years, by informal interdepartment cooperation and with the use of citizen committees, an extremely high degree of cooperation and success in securing voter approval of bond programs has been achieved. This is recorded in our 1928, 1953 and 1959 bond programs. City departments and special agencies prepare an annual, and in many cases a two or more years, Public Improvement Program. Any improvemfits that affect other depart- ments are developed jointly. In. addition,. any projects that involve city departments must be approved by the City Council, It is recognized that with an increase in budget appropriations for Public Improve- ments, an increase.in state aids for highway and school needs, and the fiscal in- dependence of the special agencies, that a modification of the method used in the development and implementation of a Public Improvement Program that will provide coordination is not only necessary but .essential in order to secure mazimum benefits in accomplishing all elements of a Programed Community Plan. A Public Improve6ent Program will be developed and coordinated, however, within the framework of existing law. To accomplish this the Mayor named a review and coordin- ating committee that started work in the fall of 1961 on such a program. Under the direction of John Connelly, Council Research Bureau, and coordinated by Robert Trudeau of the Comptroller's office and under the guidance of a review committee consisting of the above .two plus Mr. Herbert Wieland, Planning Director, Mr. Clemens Schleck, Chief Accountant Comptroller's office and Mr. Frank•Madden; Executive Secretary 2nd United Improvement Council a Public Improvement Vrogram'in- cluding a needs study has been prepared covering the period. 1962-1966. Departments completed filling. out the attached two forms (se'e exhibits C-1 8 C-2) followed by the review committee holding several meetings with department representatives prior to the preparation of the program. It is anticipated the program will be published in September 1962. Using the experience gained in the preparation of the 1962 program the 1963-1967 program will be started in the fall of 1962. 14a h Attachment "D" The 1960 charter amendment provided additional funds for most city operations in 1962. Specifically in activities directly related to urban renewal appro- priations were increased to the following extent 1. Public Improvements for sewer and street projects 300,000.00 were increased . 2. Replacement or renewal of departmental equipment 250 000.00 (applies to all city departments) 3.

The possibility of a Downtown Urban Renewal project and its problems relating to the financing of such an undertaking, has been explored. It will not be possible to finance this project through the receipt of annual Tax Levy funds based on a one mill rate. It will, accordingly, become necessary to finance this over a period of approximately ten years by the issuance of Authority bonds to be repaid out of the tax gain resulting from the redevelopment.

The Central Relocation Agency has assisted (within its means) in this relocation. Those persons in need of relocation assistance were older citizens receiving Old Age Assistance and/or Social Security. Attachment C-1 "%Includes only standard housing that displaced families may reasonably be. expected to obtain in competition with other families in the market and which is within their means. An estimate of such units that are available to and suitable for the type of families to be relocated is obtained by assuming 10% of the turnover in private housing plus an amount equal to the new public housing (100 of 5700 plus 583). An amount of 342 appears to be a reasonable estimate of the deficit in available housing for relocation families." It is assumed in the above that 100 of the turnover in private housing plus 750 of the new public housing, plus 750 of the turnover in public housing would be available for displaced families. It should be noted that the deficit in available housing has decreased from 850 units in 1961 to a deficit of 342 in 1962, whir -we -feel is a substantial improvement in the local situation. ) 15a Describe the measures tieing taken to make certain that the new construction indicated above will take place in the volume estimated. if Section 321 or public low -rent housing.is contempli_ted, what steps have been, or will he, taken by the community to obtain such housing.

The availability vacancy ratio has increased from a low of 1.8 in 1950 to 2.4 in 1960. 2. City Council has approved the construction of additional housing (public) units. 3. Consideration is now being given to using future portions of cleared or vacant land for additional housing and the provision of relocation housing within future renewal areas. 4. The State Legislature has approved a Fair !-lousing Bill, effective on December 31, 1962 which will assist minority groups in acquiring housing in the private market. F. Indicate progress made, or planned, in establishing working relationships between _ officials responsible for this phase of the Program for Community Improvement and those of all governmental programs likely to cause family displacement --both in helping plan relocation needs and resources and in helping displaced families re- locate in the housing; available or to lie made available. The responsibility for relocation planning is vested in the office of the Central Relocation and Information Service. This agency was established as a result of an agreement between the City of Saint Paul and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The Authority relocation staff, under the supervision of the Authority's Assistant to the Executive Director, is required to provide relocation assistance to all per- sons displaced by any public action. Funds for this purpose are annually provided by one-tenth mill Relocation Tax Levy. Since the relocation staff is part of the Authority's staff, displaced persons and families will be assisted not only in acquiring private housing but public low -rent housing as well. (See attachment "F") Supplementary material required. Submit one copy of any report or plan for the relo- cation of displaced families prepared since the last submission. 16 Attachment "D" D. The information to be gathered within the Community Renewal Program will serve to formulate a complete plan for lo:l:g range satisfaction of relocation. The results ea-pected from the now being-•`ormed Mayor's Committee will further assist in the stimulation of needed relocation housing. Attachment 'T' F. A Mgor's committee. of Civic, Business and City agencies is being formed for the purpose, among other things, of studying and promoting relocation housing and utilization of Section.221 housing as an aid to the local housing situation. In addition to the above, one neighborhood social agency is actively participating in relocation aid. The Neighborhood House has assigned staff people to assist families to be relocated from within the Riverview neighborhood. 16a URJIiL!IPE; Co r, m, mli ty-wide f, u r t i Ci p uti'. ur. pari of indit u•I:; u;... rrt,rr";'�. .. iIC Citi: ens organizetions r'tich. :;i:t ':cL o prl, l cratly and ira selected nr eas,' i pp o t. t.ne atn'sn r y- tp success. - I {)fiict ,t l i rc4�,i,l.i e tor aLc%l'-, (""wil nlity T p uv vin;-tli..

Attached to this submission as supplementary material is a brochure developed by this committee regarding the CBD project, Because Of the structure of this coimnittee, the Mayor's office is fully :are of the fac-c that we still do not have an advisory citizens committee dealing with the elements of the workable program. The Piayor's office, however, is at the present engaged in selecting such a committee that will be directly responsible to the Mayor and City Council of Saint Paul. Subcom*ittees will be appointed, one for each element of the workable program. These subcommittees will be the means by which the .;e hers are assigned tasks and kept busy. It is planned that the advisory committee will represent a good - cross- section of the entire community. The initial project undertaken by this committee will be to educate the members of the committee as to the operation, goals, and objectives of Urban Renewal. Announcement of such a committee is expected very shortly. 17a K D.

Thursday-. Urban renewal, public housing and how they work. . By R. J. R. JOIENSON Staff Writer The constant and diverse criticism of public housing and urban renewal ill St. Paul was likened recently to the feathers scattered about by a man shaking the stuffing out of a pillow. "And we're expected to chase down each and every feather," said William E. Carter Jr., director of the St. Paul housing and rede- velopment authority. The criticisms. fall into two general categories: THOSE AIMED atthe housing authority and its operations. THOSE SPECI'FICALLY- anti-public housing. The sec- ond group - of critics and questioners are most often heard front. Much of the criticism of the programs has beet: blamed oil a failure of the housing authority to keep the people informed of its work and of its plans and tine rea- sons for them. In recent years an effort has been made to enlarge the public relations activities -of the authority. "But," said Carter, can't answer questions unless they are asked. We can't stand on the .street corner passing out information." housing authwity offers to send speal.crs out to vartons civic groups have been gen- crolly i stored, he said.

"The idea is that every American family has a right to decent, safe and sanitary housing—what we call stand- ard housing—within ability to pay. If this housing is not available for low income families on the private mar- " _ ket, then public housing is the answer. r "Also; there is both a legal and moral responsibility to provide standard housing for persons who lose theirliomes because of public action, This includes not only urban re- newal _Clearance, but high- way acquisition, enforcement of housing codes and any other governmental action.' 2. Isn't there enough housing available on the private market? "No. At least not enough standard housing for people with low income. We consider as substandard housing that is obviously dilapidated and housing that lacks proper plumbing and hot water. "There, are 20,000 substand- ard dwelling structures, hous- ing some 70,000 persons, in St. Paul. "The housing authority now has approximately 1,700 qmd- ified applicants for public 1 housing. Of these,approxi- mately 700 are senior citizens. The 1,286 public housing units now n 4he city are filled and those qualified applicants must wait their 'turns for apartments. In the mean- time, they are, -by and large, hiving in substandard housing. "Public actions contem- plated for the next several years twill displace thousands of families—a percentage of whom will request and be qualified for public housing.

The housingauthority sold the land for $1,624,568. The.tax return on the land is expected to increase ten- fold, from $40,000 a year to something over $400,000. The federal government usually pays two-thirds of the cost of city renewal proj- ects and the local authority one-third. Improvements to the land in and around the redevelopment area count toward the city's share. In the Western -Redevelop- ment area the entire local authority share was in the form offmprovements— streets, lights, water, park— valued at around $500,000 in the area. The city also was given credit for improve- ments in the capitol ap- proach and the Rondo dis- trict.

All three of these areas, with a total of more than 140 acres, were largely residen- tial before they were cleared. According to a housing authority report, the eastern area contained 333 buildings that housed 456 families plus 101 individuals. About 65 per cent of the dwelling units were substandard.

The work that has been done in St. Paul on these. two related but not identical programs —.urban renewal and public .housing—has,fol lowed a rocky course, been subject to much criticism and has often come close to being hung up for good. 'file story, according to lo. cal housing authority offi cials, is one that is repeated' in other cities throughout the country. Perhaps the criticism has not been as vocal or well organized else- where, or the publicity given it as great, they concede.

HOUSING INCREASE The authority commission- ers passed two resolutions— one dealing with the federal government and the other with the city council — re- questing permission to build ' 2,250 public housing units in, St. Paul, rather than lite 2,C00' units agreed upon in 19;9. , The need for the addi- itional 250 units, it was ex- plained, comes because of a decision to build a public housing project in Dunedin terrace, on the west Side. Two steps were taken to improve the Cathedral dis• . trict. One permits the au- thority to spend $14,000 for general planning; the secoM is a request to the federal government to permit spend. mg $155,000 for detailed plan.

This report is titled "Saint Paul's Population Characteristics - 1960." This publication constitutes one of the research reports that provide in- formation and data upon which long-range and current planning work is based. It contains an analysis.of the 1960,census data, and also pre- sents population projections to 1970 and 1980. The report is a sequel to Community Plan Report Number One, published in July, 1955, which was based on the results of the 1950 census. This publication was prepared by the Planning Board staff from data con- tained in advance reports of the 1960 Decennial Census and, in the case of population projections, from source material in the Planning Board office. The material presented in this report was reviewed by the Planning Board and released for publication at a special meeting of the Board on October 2, 1961. Respectfully submitted, Judson D. Hilton JDH:FS Chairman .ABOUT THIS REPORT The primary reason for the preparation and publication of this report is to provide a compilation and analysis of the 1960 Decennial Census data as it pertains to Saint Paul, and -through comparison with 1950 data, to determine the changes that have taken place in the composition and locational aspects of the City's popula- tion during the past decade. This report does not attempt to present a complete. compilation and analysis of all census information, but rather, concentrates on those characteristics of.the popu- lation which are of greatest general interest and utility, and on those character- istics which most likely will have the greatest impact on both public and private planning activity in the future. During the past decade, very significant changes have taken place in the composition of the population by age groups; therefore, this report goes into considerable detail in identifying the changes -and their impli- cations. The report also presents population projections, by census tract, to 1970 and 1980. m Saint Paul is currently undergoing dynamic changes in its population make-up and many of'these changes have far-reaching implications. It is, therefore, essential for both government and private enterprise to understand these changes and the forces behind them. This is true because nearly all activity in Saint Paul is de- pendent, in one way or another, on the people who live in Saint Paul. For this reason, it is hoped that this report will not only provide background for the com- prehensive planning activity of the City, but will serve as a convenient source of information for all who require knowledge of the population composition of Saint Paul. e� This study was prepared under the general direction of Herbert C. Wieland, Dir- ector of City Planning and Burdette R. Teig, Assistant Director. Richard B-. Empey, Assistant City Planner, was in charge of the preparation of the report. Others of the staff participating in the preparation were: Eugene F. Barlow and Adrian T. Brown, Junior Planning Technicians; Frances D. Schirmer, Senior Clerk -Steno- grapher; and Mary F. MacDonald, Clerk Typist. Herbert C. Wieland, A.I.P. Director of City Planning TABLE OF CONTENTS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 30 ABOUT THIS REPORT 31 Table 1 ..

OF SAINT PAUL . . , . , . , . , , , , , 38 P SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT FACTS AND FINDINGS AS RELATED TO THE 1960 CENSUS 1. The period of a steady and healthy natural rate of growth for Saint Paul and Minneapolis has been interrupted. The 1960 census shows a slight population gain for Saint Paul and a substantial loss for Minneapolis. Many families now prefer to live in the suburban communities. If the centrale city once more is to become a popular place in which to live and raise families, it must make itself more competi- tive with the suburbs in this respect. 2. Saint Paul had a population increase of 2,062 persons or 0.7 per cent between 1950 and 1960. Only 29 of the 76 census tracts showed population increases while 47 had a loss. The areas recording the greatest gains were the northern and east- ern edges and the Highland Park area of the City, while the greatest losses occur- red in and around the Downtown. Had in -migration and out -migration been fairly equal, Saint Paul would have gained about 51;000 persons in the past decade, purely through natural increase (excess of resident births over resident deaths) . However, the City had a net out -migration of about 49,000 persons and hence was able to record only a small gain for the period. 3. The population distribution in Saint Paul has evened out considerably since 1950. There are now fewer persons and lower population densities in the central parts of the. City and more persons ,and higher densities in the outlying areas, particularly on the northern and eastern edges of the City. 4. The average number of persons per household declined from 3.25 to 3.08 be- tween 1950 and 1960. This is indicative of the trend for Saint Paul to become less popular as a place in which to raise a family. 5. The non-white population of Saint'Paul increased by nearly fifty per cent be - mi. 1950 and 1960. This segment constitutes a little less than three per cent of the total population. 6. The number of persons not living with any relative (unrelated individuals) has increased by some 7,800 persons between 1950 and 1960. Such persons now repre- sent 12. 1 per cent of the total population. The number of unmarried (single, widow- ed, or divorced) persons dropped by some 4,000 in the past decade but the propor- tion represented by this group of the total population, 18 years of age and over, in- creased slightly. Persons in this category are now slightly over 1/3 of the total population 18 years and over. 7. Probably the most significant finding of this report results from the analysis of a what has taken place within the various age -groups as related to population change and trends. Between 1950 and 1960 Saint Paul had a decrease of over 25,000 persons 18 to 64 years of age, which represents a 12.9 per cent decline from 195,0. Some of this is due to past levels of the birth rate cycle but more importantly it seems that most of it is the result of out -migration, particularly in the 25 to 44 year range. Within this age -group falls most of the present and future. civic leadership, most of the home owners, a major source of municipal revenue, the persons engaged in family formation and family -raising, and most of the wage-earners and consumers of the community. At the same time, the City had an increase of 20.4 per cent, or nearly 18,000 persons, in the 0 to 17 age -group and an increase of 35.7 per cent, or nearly 10,000 persons, in persons 65 years of age and over. By contrast these latter groups have a greater demand for governmental services in relation to their contribution toward provision of such services, generally have comparatively little wage- earning,and purchasing power, and as a rule, do not contribute a great deal in the way ofcivic, business, or social leadership. It seems certain that if these trends continue they will have serious economic, social, and political implications for the City of Saint Paul. AS RELATED TO POPULATION PROJECTIONS FOR 1970 and 1980 1. Saint Paul is now in an unprecedented period of physical upheaval due to the freeway program, urban renewal, and projects of private enterprise. This fact, plus the interruption of past trends revealed by the 1960 census, makes the use of standard demographic methods of population projection impractical. Therefore, a more empirical approach was taken, based on information and data derived from studies of the Planning Board and other sources, in determining the future outlook for each census tract 2. Projections, based on certain assumptions, indicate that Saint Paul could ex- pect a population of about 320,000 persons by 1970. This. would be an increase of some 6, 500 persons or a growth of about 2 per cent. The general pattern of areas of loss and gain will be very similar to that of the past decade. 3. Projections for 1980 indicate that a population of about 332,000 persons may be expected. This would be an increase of about 12,000 persons over the 1970 pro- jection or a gain of 3.8 per cent. It is expected that a continuing redistribution will result in an almost even distribution of the population over the residential por- tions of the City by.1980. This would result in a substantial change in the inten- sity of demand for public and commercial services in various areas. I - 1 2 ! !n OF ■ 1960 CENSUS DATA General Characteristics- Number, Distribution and Change GROWTH RATES Chart 1 indicates the rate of population growth over the past ,100 years of Saint Paul and comparison areas. These areas include Minneapolis, the S.M. S.A. 1, Twin City suburbs, suburban Ramsey County, Minnesota, U. S. Urban, and the United States as a whole. It will be noted that both Saint Paul and Minneapolis had rapid growth rates prior to 1900, and that the rates of population growth for both cities have slowed down steadily and have been roughly correspondent since that time. However, during the past decade Saint Paul has had a slight increase in population (2,062 persons) while Minneapolis suffered a 'substantial loss (38,846 persons) . Between 1900 and 1950 the growth rate of both cities had been similar to'those for the Twin City Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (S.M.S.A.)1, the State of Minnesota, and the United States as a whole. The population growth rate curves for the Twin City suburbs and for Ramsey County (excluding Saint Paul) have shown nearly the opposite characteristic. These areas grew slowly up to about 1920 and the rate has been increasing steadily and sharply since. It is interesting to note that the S.M.S.A. curve has become more and more a reflection of the suburban growth rates since 1940 and less sensitive to the growth rates of the central cities. This is an indication of the increasing influence of the suburban areas in the population make-up of the S.M.S.A. This trend to- ward an increasing proportion of the S.M. S.A. population in suburban areas is ex- pected to continue in the foreseeable future. In fact, according to Metropolitan Planning Commission projections,by 1970 there will be more of the S.M. S.A. popu- lation living outside of the central cities than will be living in the central cities.

S. Census. The following observations are made: (1) With the exception of certain areas along the northern and eastern edges where there is considerable vacant land, the distribution of the population is fairly even throughout the residential areas of the City. The 1950-1960 decade witnessed an evening -out process with the central areas of the City now having fewer people and the outlying areas more people than was the case in 1950. (2) The highest density exists in the three downtown area Tracts (41,,.42, and 43) with the next highest densities being in the areas adjacent to and mainly to the west of the Downtown. This is generally the same pattern which existed in 1950. However, these areas have lower densities -over-all than they did in 1950. By the same token the outlying portions of the City, particularly on the east side, have seen an increase in density over the past 10 years. (3) The phenomena of the evening -out of population distribution and density over the 1950-1960 decade is a most. important and significant finding as it re- flects one of the major reasons for Saint Paul's very small population growth as opposed to a healthy increase in occupied housing -units (O. H.U.)3 over the past 10 years. It simply indicates that the supply of new housing has reached the point where the "doubling up" that occurred during and after World War II has been relieved and is reflected in a population loss in the older areas of the City and a corresponding gain in the newer areas and in the sub- urbs. This loss in the older areas is mainly in families with children, while the elderly and yo
