The recommendation of the Mayor's Parking and Traffic Committee stating that they
had been studying the problems that were created when the change in the direction of the
flow of traffic was made from southbound to northbound in the alley east of Broadway between
Second and Third Streets S. E. at the time the Olmsted County Bank Building was built; it was
the opinion of the group that the ideal solution to these problems would be to again reverse
the direction of the flow of traffic in the alley to southbound if possible; if this solution
is not possible because of commitments made to the Olmsted County Bank or because of physical
limitations, it is respectfully recommended that the Council consider changing the direction
of the flow of traffic of the entire alley east of Broadway from First Street N. E. to Fourth
Street S. E. to northbound, was read. Upon motion by Day, second by Eichten, and all voting
in favor, the letter was referred to the Public Safety Committee.

Holter, for a temporary certificate of public convenience and necessity as a regular route

The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission stating that they had
reviewed the final plat of Country Club Manor Eighth Sdbdiv -awith reference to the offer of
of the owners to dedicate a park site as part of this plat and also with reference to the
request of the Board of Park Commissioners to reduce the amount of proposed park frontage on
wnd Street N. W. and to have the owners make provision for a 50 ft. accessway from the west
edge of Judd Park to a future unplatted street; they find that the final plat, as proposed by
5 S O Record of Official Proceedings of the - Com mon Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., August 15, 1966
the owner, is in accord with the adopted General Development For Country Club Manor Subdiv-
ision; they also feel that the proposed park site would prove to be a valuable part of this
park in the future by providing an adequate access to the park from the south and a potential
offstreet parking area and find that the matter of the width of an access to Judd Park from the
west is not a part of this final plat and feel that the approval of this plat should not hinge
on what happens in a future development to the west and therefore recommend that the plat be
granted approval and the park dedication be accepted by the City of Rochester, was read. Mr.
Joe Cooley was present and stated that he lived in this neighborhood and that he felt that
this was one of the prettiest parks in the City but felt that a driveway should be provided
so people could get to the park. After again reviewing the plat, a motionwas made by Eichten
that before the plat be considered, that the area presently dedicated as a park shall be
subdivided into two lots, the Easterly to be designated as Lot 8 and the Westerly lot to be
designated as Lot 9 and that Lot 8 be deeded to the City of Rochester and that a hearing on
approval of the plat be set for September 6, 1966 at 7:30 P. M.; Day seconded the motion and
all voted in favor.
A letter signed by Alderman D. Dewey Day and Alderman Larry McCaleb recommending that
the Common Council transfer to the Park Department for park purposes the city owned property
which lies along the west side of Highway No. 63 and north of the proposed extension of 17th
Street Northeast (approximately eight acres and was formerly the old dog pound property) on
the condition that the property be used as a building site for a hockey arena to be built by
the Rochester Hockey Association on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Park Department
and that the City Attorney draw a resolution to this effect, was read. C. A. Armstrong, City
Engineer informed the Council that there would be a cost of approximately $15,000 if sewer
and water were extended to this area. Upon motion by Day, second by Folkert, and all voting
in favor except Alderman Perry who voted "no", the recommendation was approved and the City
Attorney instructed to prepare the resolution.
A letter from Agneberg Sankstone & Associates, Inc. submitting copies of the two types
of elevated water storage tanks for which they are perparing plans and specifications for the
tank to be built on the side of the Rochester Water Department at 323 - 4th Street S. E. was
read and President DeVries ordered the same placed on file.
A petition signed by 53 citizens of Southwest Rochester, directing the attention of
the Mayor and Common Council to the house currently under construction at 810 Southwest
Eighth Avenue by Builder, Larry Sather, was read. The petition stated that the initial
building permit for this construction was obtained on February 1, 1966 with an.additional
permit being obtained on April 19, 1966; at this time the property in question was located in
the R-1 District Residential Suburban as established by the Rochester Zoning Ordinance;
Paragraph 21.04 of the Zoning Ordinance, as then in effect, required a minimum rear yard of
forty feet in any lot in the R-1 District; the house Mr. Sather currently has under constr-
uction and the permit for it are in violation of this requirement having only a twenty foot

rear yard; the building permit issued before the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is null
and void pursuant to Paragraph 60.00 of the Zoning Ordinance and they therefore petition the
Ci ty Council to act on this direct violation of the Zoning Ordinance -undertaking
enforcement of the law as stated above. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that the
Building Inspector has construed the lot in question on which this house is being built to
be a corner lot under the definiation in the Zoning Ordinance and had advised him that he
has interpreted the Zoning Ordinance to mean that in respect to a corner lot there is no
rear yard requirement; the Building Inspector advised him that a permit had been issued
initially which would have faced the house to be built toward the North or toward-8th Street
Southwest and this placed the house quite a bit nearer to the Smith residence and there were
objections made and the plans were then revised to face it toward the East on to 8th Avenue
Southwest; he said when he conferred with the Building Inspector that he had in his possession
some drawings of the home including the dimensions of its location on the lot and he said in
accordance with the way he interpreted the zoning ordinance -he issued the permit and
construction had taken place under the permit and he did not think he could revoke the permit.
the City Attorney further stated that he then discussed the zoning ordinance with the Buildin
Inspector and in his opinion they were not dealing with a corner lot but an interior lot, as
the corner lot it would not meet the requirements in respect to a minimun 60 foot dimension;
he said in his opinion this was an inner lot fronting on 8th Avenue and the property to the
north is an access drive and it is his opinion that the house position does not qualify under
the zoning ordinance, it does not meet the minimum rear yard requirements; he further
explained the ordinance and said in his opinion this was not a buildable lot. Mr. Dwaine
Hoops, Attorney representing L. M. Sather the builder, was present and stated that they had
been building according to their building permit which had been issued by the Building
Inspector and thought they should be allowed to continue. Mr. Mike Berens, Attorney,
representing Dr. Lynwood Smith, recommedned and requested that the Council revoke the buildnnj
permit issued. Dr. A. E. Hagedorn of 841 - 9th Avenue S.W.; Dr. Lynwood Smith of 8th Street
Dr.
S. W.; Rev. Robert Fenwick of 1016 - 8th Avenue S.W.; Charles Code of 803 - 8th Street S.W.
Dr. Leonard Aaro of 821 - 8th Avenue S.W.; Dr. Charles Restall of 922 - 8th Avenue S.W.;
Dr. David G. Hanlon of 1020 - 10th Street S.W.; Donald McIlrath of 710 - 9th Avenue S.W. and
Martin Adson of 612 - 9th Avenue S. W., were each heard and all requested that the permit be
revoked and the house not be built in this area. The matter was discussed for two and a half
hours and a motion was then made by Alderman Folkert that this matter be tabled until
September 19, 1966 to be considered further at that time and that it also be recommended as
the concensus of the Common Council that the permit issued for the construction of the
house at 811 - 8th Avenue S. W. is in violation of the Zoning Ordinance and that pending the
final determination of the matter no further construction take place on the house being
built at that address and if necessary to preserve the status quo of this matter that the
City Attorney is instructed to take whatever legal action necessary to enuoin further
construction; Alderman Eichten seconded the motion and all voted in favor.
