"Honorable Mayor and Common Council
City Hail
Roch ester, Minnesota
We, the undersigned_property owners along the west side of highway #63 south
from 17th St. S.W. to 20th St. S.W. have petitioned the planning and zoning
commission for a change in zoning from the present residential status to
cercial. The zoning board has set this aside and has asked that the city
council change the zone to multiple dwelling. We feel that this area should
not be made multiple dwelling but should be commercial. This area was
commercial before it was annexed to the city.
The main reason we would like this area to be made commercial is because we
would like to expand our present operations and it would be necessary to
build to the property lines which we could not do unless it is made commercial.
The property on the east side of highway 63 has been rezoned,commercial and
industrial. Also the Truck Service Co. at 20th Street S. W. was mace
commercial a short time ago.
We sincerely ask that the city council allow this original petition for
commercial status.be sent through the proper channels and presented to the
council at the earliest date.
Sincerely yours,

Mr. John Wood was present, he said they had originally petitioned to have their property changed
to commercial and now they had received a notice that there was.to be a hearing on changing it
to multiple dwelling, but they did not feel multiple dwelling district would allow them to do
the building that they had planned. It was explained that the original petition had been to
change this property to commercial district and the original petition had been referred to the

Planning and Zoning Commission and they had recommended that the petition be denied but that the
Council initiate a zone change on this property to change it to multiple.dwelling, this the
Council had done and -had ordered a hearing on the change to multiple dwelling to be held on
May 18, 1964. After further discussion, a motion was made by McCaleb that the Council initiate
a zone to commercial district on this property and that a hearing be set for 7:30 o'clock P. M.
on May 18, 1964; Wilson seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
Mr. Robert Richmond of the firm of.Weichselbaum & Pieper presented a model of the
new proposed Northwestern National Bank drive in, this showed that the marquee was eighteen
feet above the sidewalk, the marquee was eight feet thick and the sign on the outside was about
two by two, the sign does not comply with the ordinance. The canopy is a protective measure
against the weather and is permitted to extend out over the sidewalk but.the question arose as
to whether a marquee this thick would not be a part of the building rather than considered as
a canopy or sign. This matter had been referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their
recommendation so no further action was taken until their recommendation could be received.
The matter of the bus lane and the left hand turn at this location during construction was also
discussed and upon motion by Eichten, second by McCaleb, and all voting in favor thereof, this
matter was referred to the Public Safety Committee.
Mr. John Carney appeared before the Council and suggested that the Council consider
the possibility of a joint City -Council facility. He stated the Court House -was only siz years
old but already they, were crowded for space and consequently they had employed an architect
firm to study the possibility of remodeling or enlarging the court house. He cited several
areas where he thought the joint facility could provide savings, namely, the reduction of
overhead, which includes custodial services, heating, lighting, telephone costs, etc.; he said
the courts could possibly be combined; the city and county assessor could work more closely
together. He said taxes were levied for State, County, City and Schools -and each year each
segment was increasing their mill rate. He said the County building fund would be in the black
at the end of 1964 in the amount of about .$125,000 and 707. of this amount has been paid in by
city taxpayers; he suggested that a citizens committee -be appointed by the County and,City to
study the possibility of such a joint facility. No action was taken at this meeting and it was
taken under advisement by the Common Council.

alley located adjacent to and west of said Lot 55, in Belmont Addition, Olmsted
County, Minnesota. During the various hearings that have been held on this
annexation, questions have arisen pertaining to the possibility of the
owners of this property petitioning the City for a road to the lots which do
not abut on either a city or county street.
This letter is written to formally state that the owners do not contemplate
making such a request, and to further state that in the event at any time in
the future a road is needed to gain access to Lots 92, 93 and 94, that said
road will be a prviate road, and that no request will be made for a street
dedication.
The only plans in existence at this time for development of.the above property
are those of Mr. and -Mrs. Withers to build on Lots 89, 90 and 91 together with
the West 22 feet of Lot 55, and the vacated alley located adjacent to and -West
