30 RES PH 15-8 Final Order approving the alley reconstruction improvement in the
block bounded by Juliet Avenue, Palace Avenue, Lexington Parkway,
and Oxford Street. (File No. 19177, Assessment No. 155001)
In opposition:
Chris Thyen (412 Lexington) said he was opposed mainly based on the cost. He
said it was an unimproved alley, the neighbors had been able to handle it in the past,
and they were looking for a greener solution than a hard surface. He said the cost
seemed like a lot for what was essentially a driveway shared by two abutting
properties. He said if they said yes at this point, they didn't know what they were
saying yes to since the specific plans hadn't been developed or the costs determined.
Debra Thyen (412 Lexington Parkway and 1080 Juliet Avenue) said she was
opposed to it for now until the drainage issue was figured out. She said she would
like a better understanding of what was going to be done and what they were being
assessed for. She said they weren't opposed to working with the City if it was done
properly, and they would rather work with their neighbors.
In support:
Richard Sorensen (408 Lexington Parkway S.) referred to comments and pictures
submitted. He said the alley was falling apart and needed to be rebuilt to current
design standards. He said the slope was so steep that it was dangerous in the
winter, and the slope should be considered in the redesign along with the drainage
issue.
Mark Stennes (1083 Palace) said he had no use for the alley but apparently have
7%. He said he had no opposition to being assessed to improve the alley. He said
he agreed with everyone that it ought to be done right, but it should certainly be
addressed.
Councilmember Tolbert moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0
(Councilmember Thune not present for vote)
Councilmember Tolbert thanked everyone for their testimony. He said not everyone
agreed on what needed to be done, but alley was very dilapidated and needed to be
resolved. He said approving this would allow Public Works to move forward, and
they would work with neighbors to do something sustainable. He moved approval.

the north side of Jessamine Avenue West from Churchill Street to
Chatsworth Street (File No. S1506, Assessment No. 155306) (No
assessments to property owners)
In opposition:
Jim Prayfroch (1083 Oxford) opposed to this, as were with three other neighbors. He
said there had never been a sidewalk and not much pedestrian traffic, and there were
lots of walking paths nearby at Como. He said he didn't need a sidewalk to shovel,
didn't need and couldn't afford the assessment. He reiterated that four of the six
residents didn't want it.
Councilmember Brendmoen moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
Councilmember Brendmoen clarified that because it was RSVP there wouldn't been
an assessment, but said she agreed that it didn't make sense to add a sidewalk
there.

55 RLH TA 14-670 Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for Real Estate
Project No. VB1502, Assessment No. 158801 at 804 FOURTH
STREET EAST.
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond gave a staff report on the vacant
building registration fee. She said it had been a vacant building since March 13, and
this assessment was for the registration from March to March. She said the property
owner was very short on funds, and she recommended approving the assessment
and dividing the payment over 5 years. She said the property owner had gotten the
code compliance inspection to facilitate the sale and rehabilitation of the property,
and was concerned about impact of the vacant building assessment. She said it was
a registered vacant building and fee waivers had been granted to that point.
In opposition:
Property owner Irwinna Mitsch said she had lived in the home since 1974 and raised
her children there. She said she was selling the house and this was adding a lot of
money to everything, and she would like to keep it down as much as possible.
Council President Lantry clarified for Ms. Mitsch that Ms. Moermond's
recommendation was to spread the assessment over 5 years, and any unpaid
installments would come out of the closing statement.
Councilmember Bostrom moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
Council President Lantry move to adopt Ms. Moermond's recommendation. She said
Ms. Moermond had figured out a way to make it as painless as possible, but the City
was out there doing the work and the assessment had to be paid.

ADJOURNMENT
Council Meeting Information
The City Council is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses. The
agendas and Council files are all available on the Web (see below). Councilmembers use
iPads to review the files during the meeting. Using the iPad greatly reduces costs since most
agendas, including the documents attached to files, are over 1000 pages when printed.
Web
Meetings are available on the Council's website. Email notification and web feeds (RSS) of
newly released Minutes, Agendas and Meetings are available by subscription. Please visit
www.stpaul.gov/council for meeting videos and updated copies of the Agendas, Minutes and
supporting documents.
Cable
Meetings are live on St Paul Channel 18 and replayed on: Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., Saturdays at
12:30 p.m., and Sundays at 1:00 p.m. (Subject to change)
