A letter from Walter C. Heins Agency; Inc. and a letter from Neal Hofstad Insurance voicing objections tothe proposed specifications for bidding insurance on City Property, were each read. Alderman David Hanlon, Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated that he felt these letters were in poor taste, since neither he or any member of the Finance Committee had an opportunity to study the specifications; he said he felt this committee should have been entitled to see the specifications before they. were criticized in public; he said the specifications would not be withheld from anyone but he felt they should have had the opportunity to see and review them first. Mr. Hofstad and Mr. Marvin Heins were each present. After hearing those present a motion was made by Perry, second by Wilson, that this matter and these letters -be referred to the Finance Committee. The following letter was then read: "The Honorable Mayor The Common Council City of Rochester City Hall Rochester, Minnesota Re: Rochester Bus Line, Inc. Franchise Gentlemen: At the request of Rochester Bus Line, Inc., I am writing you in regard to the franchise provisions. It was the understanding of .the Bus Line that the franchise would be identical with the previous franchise except that at a subsequent meeting of the council the franchise was amended to make the term five years instead of ten. A reading of the proposed franchise indicates that 30 days has been substi- tuted for 90 days in Section 5. Inasmuch as the Bus Line has operated under franchise provision for many years with a 30 day provision, we respectfully request that the ordinance be amended so as to conform to our understanding. If necessary, we would gladly meet with any council committee or the council as a whole. Very truly yours, /s Arthur R. Swan" R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that the sentence in question is that the bus line under this franchise will not terminate their activities without first giving to the Common Council of the City of Rochester at least 90 days prior written notice of its intention to do so, and the Z former ordinance required only 30 days; he said he did not know on what basis this was changed but on the ordinance which he was making a copy from it showed the 90 days. After further discussion a motion was made by Eichten, second by Wilson, instructing the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending the present ordinance changing Section 5 of Ordinance No. 1301 to read 'Grantee may not wholly discontinue or terminate its activities as a bus line under this franchise without first giving to the Common Council of the City of Rochester at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to do so' (instead of ninety (90) days). All voted in favor thereof. Upon motion by Perry, second by Wilson, and all voting in favor thereof, the request for a stop sign at the intersection of 17th Street and 2nd Avenue Southeast was referred to the Public Safety Committee. Mayor Smekta requested that the possibility of placing a stop sign at the inter- 1 • 1 1 E 1 EJ Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn. April 19, 1965 695-' 1 • 1 1 section of 9th Street and 6th Avenue Southeast. Upon motion by Perry, second by Day, and all voting in favor thereof, the matter was referred to the Public Safety Committee. Mayor Smekta had numerous scrap books on his desk with clippings regarding urban renewal and made the following remarks: "May I assure you that all these books that you see here are not a barricade, they are just scrap books that we have been keeping. This is only a portion of them pertaining to the government of the City of Rochester. All these slips that you see, these markers, pertain to references made in the Post Bulletin about urban renewal. It seems that there is a question as to urban renewal, when it was started, the history of it, so Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Council, I would like to give a chronological history of the urban renewal program for Rochester. Minnesota and it dates back quite a few years. It dates back to the first article in the Post Bulletin on on November 19, 1962 and this is what is says "Use of Federal Funds to Renew Dilapidated City Area Study". Mr. Leonard Ekstrand, President of the Central Area Improvement Association advanced the possibility of obtaining Federal Aid to help in the rehabilitation of dilapidated areas downtown; he said the Central Area Improvement Association is seeking to determine whether the City is qualified to obtain aid through the urban renewal program, this was November 29th, 1962. On February 5th, 1963, this was from the article from the Rochester Post Bulletin again and it says "Council Urges to Form City Redevelopment Authority",. not by the Mayor but by Mr. Leonard Ekstrand, President of the Central Area Improvement Association, who appeared at the Council meeting of February 4th, 1963 to urge the Council to create a Housing and Redevelopment Authority; he stated that the Central Area Improvement Association has been studying the problem for the past 1k years and retained the services of Barton Aschman Associates, Inc, to report on the feasibility of an urban renewal program for Rochester. On February 16th, 1963 the editorial from the Rochester Post Bulletin says Rochester, this is under the editor of the Post Bulletin, that Rochester shouldn't run to Washington for Urban Renewal in favor of local renewal efforts, I have never said that I disagreed with the Editor. I have always said that wherever private enterprise can, it should without hesitation, private capital should go into the urban redevelopment. I think it is wise and we should do it. On February 20th, 1963, the editorial from the Rochester Post Bulletin rebuttal to a letter to the Editor, by Milton Goloff who was in favor of Federal Urban Renewal Program. On February 26th, 1963 an article from the Rochester Post Bulletin - Senator McCarthy visiting Rochester found himself in the midst of an undercurrent battle over the city's proposed urban renewal program; he met with about 50 people, no names were listed but I was there and so were some of the other people in this room, he discussed Federal Urban Renewal Program with the group. On'M_arch 5th, 1963 again an article from the Rochester Post Bulletin - Housing Authority hearing scheduled for March 25th,.the Council adopted a resolution setting March 25th, 1963 for a public hearing to determine the need, and I again repeat the Council sets these hearings, not the Mayor. The need for the establishment of a Housing and Redevelopment Authority, backing was given the establishment of the Authority by the Rochester Building and Construction Trades Council. On March 25th, 1963 the hearing was held and I have a copy of the minutes of the Council for the public hearing right here and attached to it is a copy of the report "Renewal and Development Potentials" submitted by Barton- Aschman Associates, Inc., I am just going to read a small part of this report -"_Provisions of Building Sites" "One of the primary needs of Central Rochester is space for modern new commercial construction, commercial enterprise is no longer satisfied with the old, standard 25 and 50 foot lots, new central area construction demands half -blocks, blocks, and even groups of blocks for successful operation, etc." He said this is one of the things they recommend Overcome Obsolescence and Deterioration "Like most central areas, downtown Rochester is old and like most old areas, it was laid out and many of its buildings and public facilities were built to meet far different needs than they must serve today, moreover, many buildings and areas have deteriorated to a point where they not only fail to perform today's functions but they detract from the attractiveness and value of the area as a whole". 'He said this report states "if downtown Rochester is to thrive" and this is all I'm interested in as Mayor, I have nothing to gain, "if downtown Rochester is to thrive and to provide a good environment for the many instituitonal and civic activities located there, steps must be taken to eliminate deteriorated buildings and areas and to overcome obsolescence as fast - or before - it occurs; these are some of the recommendations and suggestions that they make; we have a complete report on this. This is what Captain Harold Hatfield, the local commander of the U 696 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 19, 1965 Salvation Army stated, "that they had worked with several familes across the river and east of the railroad tracks and north of Center Street; he said that they had visited many of these homes and found the conditions of the homes unsatisfactory, and they know the tragedy, referring to the recent fire in this area which cost the lives of two people, it was caused because the housing situations were not adequate to meet the needs and he hoping that something c ould be done for the families that do not have the income to afford the convenient type of home. Captain Hatfilld further stated that from his experience in worling with the low income group in Rochester, he felt that there was a shortage of low income housing which should be remedied on a community wide basis". Ladies and Gentlemen, and especially the gentlemen of the Council, this is not the Mayor's idea, it is his responsibility as a civic leader to show the needs to the Council, and this is what it states in the Charter and this is all iI am trying to do. On March 27th, 1962 editorial in the Rochester Post Bulletin by Chuck Withers, "Housing Authbrity"is essential first step, this is what he says "the establishment of a Housing and Redevelopment Authority for Rochester currently under study by the City Council is a necessity". The Common Council determined that there was a sufficient evidence of blight, blighting influences and deteriorating buildings in Rochester to warrant the establish- ment of a Rochester Housing and Redevelopment Authority; the resolution was signed by Acting Mayor, Albert J. Tingley, on June, 1963,,a copy of the vesolution is here for anybody to see. On October 8th, 1963 article again from the Rochester Post Bulletin,, Five Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioners OK'd on October 7, 1963. The Council approved the Mayor's appointment of Mr. Donald Franke, who is now today's Judge; Dr. David Hanlon, a member of this Council today; Mr. George Leiferman; Mr. Kenneth Ward; and Mr. Richard Pike of the newly formed Rochester Housing and Redevelopment Authority. On January 15, 1964 article from the Rochester Post Bulletin again, Dr. Hanlon was elected the first Housing Authority Head. The first meeting of the Rochester Redevelopment and Housing Authority was held on January 14th, 1964, a year ago. Various aspects of urban renewal were disucussed, meeting with the authority were the City Officials and the Central Area Improvement Association. On March 1.7th, 1964 meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, city officials and Central Area Improvement Association to hear reports from Barton Aschman Associates, Inc., a field representative from the HHFa and a representative from the Housing Authority, the various aspects of Urban renewal were discussed; and may I say this, that as of right now, it has not cost the citizens of Rochester one red penny for any, any and I repeat that for any research as of now. In August, 1964 the workable program documents were prepared by the City Planning Department on request of the Rochester Housing and Redevelopment Authority and a conference was arranged with Mr. Thomas Kilbright of HHFA for September 15th, 1964 to go over the documensts before they are put into final form. On Tuesday, October 27th, 1964 the Rochester Housing and Redevelopment Authority held a meeting with the Mayor, the Common Council and City Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss the workbable program, application and application for planning grant. Every member of the Council is here now. On March 12th maybe he wasn't there at that particular meeting, but they are are, the same Council we had in 1964. On March 12, 1965 the Rochester Housing and Redevelopment Authority approved the completed workable program documents, recommended that they be approved by the Council and forwarded to HHFA for certification. On March 16th, 1965 an article in the Post Bulletin read "Council questions renewal plan", approval of the workable plan was withheld and action tabled until April 12th, 1965; on April 12th, 1965 it says Alderman of the Sixth Ward complains on lack of information and hearings. Ladies and Gentlemen, I just don't know how far we can go on this; we've done everything we possibly can and we've enumerated the articles that have been printed in the • Post Bulletin. We are sorry,,and I mean that honestly and truthfully that some one was misinformed or maybe misadvised. Statement was made that about 144 business men may suffer because of this, may I assure everybody inthis room that I too am a small businessman and I realize the fact that there is an interruption it is going to cost me money. I do not have the safeguard of a large coproation, my check comes every two weeks or so. May I point out again to everyone here that the Mayor does not have the authority to call a meeting of this kind, it has to be called by the Council and I have received instructions fromthe President of the Council to do so and we are sending letters to all who would like to come here and we are going to publish this in the Rochester Post Bulletin and I hope it will be on the radio too, that on Thursday, April 29th there will be a meeting in this room, in this Council Chambers; anyone interested in further information are certainly welcome. Now, one more thing I would like to call to your attention, I am sure that many of you who read and subscribe to the Post Bulletin certainly read what says Town Toppers. I certainly think this hit the nail on the head, when it says Grow with a Plan, and this is all that I think we are striving for is a plan of action. Any manwho is in sales will tell you this and your company always tells you to work, make a plan and then work your plan. And this is all I believe we here in Rochester should do, is to work a plan, to have a plan which way Rochester is going. Grow with a plan, it says, this Record of Official Proceedings of the- Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 19, 1965 6971 1 • 1 • 1 was last Saturday night and I hope everyone of you had an opportunity to read this. It says grow with a plan is what every city, including Rochester, needs. All the City Council except one and the Planning & Zoning Commission, plus most of the citizens think that we need a plan. As to just where we are going, what the redevelopments of parts of the downtown area and again I say I am not interested in a 22 area block of redevelopment, I am primarily interested in the downtown. area of Rochester. And why, I'll tell you why, because we have taxes, we received taxes and this is how government is operated through taxes. Your taxes and mine, you must remember this to give you an example of what I am talking about is that -we get more in taxes from Daytons than we do from theentire Miracle Mile. This is an example of what I am talking aboutand if we don't do something about the downtown area of Rochester what is going to happen? I'll tell you what is going to happen, more and more taxes will be on our homes, yours and mine, which is something which I am trying to prevent. Look at the lower loop in Minneapolis and some of you people who have been in Minneapolis recently can see for yourself what has happened. Compare the Sheraton -Ritz Hotel, the new Library, the I. B. M. building and others with the run down slums that were there on Washington Avenue a few years ago. The St. Paul Capital Center is underway with a grow with a plan. What about the changes in Rochester? The taxes on the property that the Olmsted County Bank is now building on were $9,800.00, get this $9,800.00 a year, this is what we are getting from that particular piece of property and with the estimated on the new structure we willget $70,000.00, is it worth it? I think it is. The taxes on the rest of the block is now approximately $18,289.00 with an estimated tax of $150,000.00'if the rest of that block is redeveloped, or a total tax under the old plan was $28,049.00 as against a proposed tax of about $220,000.00. This is an example of what we are talking about. About 20 people work in the stores now as against an employment of nearly 200 if it,is redeveloped. This is one of the reasons why that I am interested. I gain nothing by this, but I as a citizen am very much interested in Rochester as being the heart, the hub of Southeastern Minnesota. And I think as a citizen and we as leaders sitting around this table and I as Mayor and others here inthis room have the responsibility to plan for the future. This is important. If there is any question as far as cooperation, may I say this to every members of the Council and to everyone here, the Mayor's door is always open and if we can be of service this is our job, this is our responsibility. Mr. President I certainly want to thank you and the rest of the members of the Council for allowing me a few minutes to clear this up. If there are any questions, I will be delighted toanswer them. I am no authority on this, like you, I am interested in seeing that we develop the downtown area of Rochester, because if we don't it will be an area that will be blighted all the time. Mr. Leonard Sankstone was present and stated that before any of the topographic maps in the Planning Department can be used they must be paid for before they can be used by anyone and in planning some of these areas this becomes quite expensive, because sometimes you have to go far beyond the area which you are concerned in order to make an equitable plan and if a proposed planner has to pay for many many acres that he might not use it becomes an additional burden, now the Council I understand has a policy where this must be paid for prior to any planning, I mean at the time you obtain the maps and I would like to recommend that this policy be reviewed, I would like to meet with whichever committee is in charge of it and go through it and see if some modification of it couldn't be accomplished, I think it would be to thebest advantage of all. Upon motion by Perry, second by Hanlon, and all voting in favor thereof, this matter was referred to the Public Works Committee. The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had reviewed the petition to annex lands to be known as Elton Hills East 2nd Subidivison, this petition has been cleared by the Jaint Rochester -Olmsted County Planning Commission for conside- ration by the City;, we find that this property is contiguous to the City of Rochester and that the owners wish to develop this land for residential use and they wish to have the area served with municipal sewer and water facilities, and recommend that this property be annexed to the City, was read. Upon motion by Day, second by Wilson, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance 0 698 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 19, 1965 -CC- 60719 annexing the said land. The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had reviewed the preliminary plat of Elton Hills East 2nd Subdivision as revised April 12, 1965 and find that this plat conforms to the minimum requirements of Ordinance No. 1010 and Ordinance No. 1296, the thoroughfare.plan and the land use plan and recommend that this plat be granted preliminary approval, was read. Upon motion by Eichten, second by Day, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved. The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had reviewed the petition to annex to the City of Rochester the First Unitarivan Universalist Church property located west of U. W. 52 and south of Folwell Heights and find that this property is contiguous to the City limits and also find that there are street and access needs that exist in this area which should be provided for at this time; and therefore recommend that this petition for annexation be approved subject to the following conditions, was read: (1) the acquisition of the east 10 feet for widening the right-of-way of U. S. 14-52 to accommodate the construction of sanitary sewer and �&ermain dailities (2) the acquisition ofthe south 33 feet of this property to provide for the development of a street to serve the church property and provide access to properties to the west and for the conducting of storm drainage and sanitary sewage from the area and (3) the area to be annexed extend to the centerline of U. S. 52 as it existed prior to widening. Upon motion by Eichten, second by Wilson, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance annexing the said land when the three stipulations have been met. The recommendation of the Public Safety Committee stating that they had considered the application of Clarence Fulton for a license to sell non -intoxicating malt beverages, on and off sale, at 1426 Fifth Place N. W. and the committee recommends that the applica- tion not be approved, was read. Mr. Richard Bins, was'present and stated that he was an attorney appearing on behalf of the group which is in opposition to this application, hesaid he thought there was a similar application submitted about 6 months ago and it was denied and he did'nt think that there have been any changes in circumstances, this is an area where it borders on a fine -residential area of this City, it creates a terrific traffic problem, many residents of this area have had problems in getting out to the main thoroughfare of Rochester during the winter months because of the existing commercial places, it just creates a terrific traffic problem; secondly, I would like to point out to the members of the Council that in the area in which this license is proposed to be granted is an R-3 zone and as I understand it under the new zoning ordinance a tavern could not go into that place now and it seems to me it would be a bit inconsistent tothe zoning ordinance to permit a license to be issued for that area now maybe there are some others that have something to say but hhose are the two things I wanted to bring to your attention. Mr. Jack Kunze of 1 is 1 • E 0 wRecord of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 19, 1965 �99, J • J 1 0 1 1218 - 4th Street N. W. was also present and opposed granting such a license, he said he was opposed because of the traffic hazard it would cause. Mrs. Jack Kunze alsospoke in opposition stating there were many children in this neighborhood and she felt the traffic would be increase greatly by having such a business and this would endanger the lives of the many children in that area. Mr. Joe Cooley was also present and stated that he had worked with teen-agers in the City of Rochester for many years, that both Country Kitchen and Henry's Drive In were hangouts for teen-agers and if beer were sold at this place it would just be tempting them and would cause trouble. Alderman McCaleb stated that he thoughtthis license should be granted, that the traffic problem hasno bearing on this whatsoever and the Council has the right to revoke a license if there are problems and that could be done in this case. After a lengthy discussion a motion was made by Perry, second by Eichten, that the recommendation be approved and the license notgranted, and upon roll call Eichten, Hanlon, Perry, Wilson and DeVries voting "aye" and Day and McCaleb voting "no", President DeVries declared the motion carried and the license not granted. The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had reviewed the petition tochange the zoning on the east k of Lot 1, Block 3, Golden Hill Addition from the R-1 District to the B-3 District and find that the building located on this property also extends onto other property not now in the City of Rochester, and yet is under the same ownership and also find that this zone change is not in accord with the city's adopted land use plan and therefore recommend that this petition be denied, was read. motion iias then made by Day, second by McCaleb, to disapprove the Yecommendationi A motion was then made by Hanlon, second by Perry, that this be tabled until May 17, 1965; all voted in favor thereof.
