"Honorable Mayor and
Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Re: No Access Provision Along Westerly Right -of -Way of U. S. #63 North as
Approved on the Plat of Sehl's 2nd Subdivision
Gentlemen:
The City Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held May 12, 1965
reviewed the no access provision along the westerly right-of-way of U. S. #63
as approved on the plat of Sehl's 2nd Subdivision. This matter has been
considered at this time in regard to the proposed construction of a church on
part of Outlot "A", Sehl's 2nd Subdivision with a request for a driveway
entrance onto U. S. #63.
On August 7, 1962 Mr. Sehl made application to the City of Rochester for approval
of the preliminary plat of Sehl's 2nd Subdivision. This plat designated the
west right -=of -=way of U. S. #63 as a no access right-of-way in accordance with
the adopted General Development Plan for the area, which was approved by the
Common Council on December 18, 1961.
On September 12, 1962 the .City Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval
of this plat to the Council with the no access provision on the plat.
On September 17, 1962 the Common Council accepted the recommendation of the City
Planning and Zoning Commission and the preliminary plat was thus approved.
On September 20, 1962 the owner, Mr. Sehl, was notified of such preliminary
approval and instructed to have his final plat prepared in accord with the
preliminary approval.
On March 7, 1963 Mr. Sehl made application to the City of Rochester for approval
of the final plat of Sehl's 2nd Subidivision. This final plat had a "no access"
provision on it between 24th St. N. E. and 27th St. N. E. which was acceptable,
and the Commission also recommended that this "no access" provision be extended
to the north of 27th St. N. E. and drafted on the final plat.
On March 27, 1963 the Planning Commission recommended approval of the final plat
subject to four conditions, one of which was to extend the "no access" provision
to the north from 27th St. N. E. This recommendation was accepted by the Council
on April 1, 1963 and a hearing was scheduled for April 15, 1963. The owner
complied with the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission and as
approved by the Council, and on May 6, 1963, the Common Council approved the final
plat with the "no access" provision being shown on the plat.
A routine part of the platting procedures of the City of Rochester is to request
the operating agencies of the City, County, and State to review these plans and
comment on them. In this regard, the Minnesota Highway Department, through its
District Engineer's Office, was sent copies of the preliminary and final plat
and they expressed no objection to these plats as they affected the highway
facility.
We feel that it is important that other vehiclular access is available to serve
this property from 4th Ave. N. E. Admittedly, to use such access would require
that the traffic circulation pattern on the church site would need to be
redesigned, but this would not be a major problem.
At a meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission held N April 14, 1965 this
matter was first discussed and the Commission, at that time,voted to uphold the
"no access" provision as recorded on the plat of Sehl's 2nd Subdivision.
Again at the May 12, 1965 meeting the Commission moved to reconsider its previous
action of April 14, 1965. However, this motion was lost a a 4 to 3 vote. The
Matter of "no access" was however, discussed thoroughly by the Commission, and.
40

we recommend that the "no access" provision be retained on this plat and that
no driveways be permitted onto U. S. #63 where designated on the plat.
