McQuillan, Mayor and the Common Council of Rochester Gentlemen: Mr. Ed Rundell appeared before this Commission last_ evening in regard to his Plat at loth Ave. S. W. • . After discussion, it was the opinion -of this Commission; that.they do not feel that they can honestly accept or recommend the acceptance, of this plat, feeling it would be unwise to ignore the provisions for a culdesac. The Commission also is reluctant to recommend plats with street widths less than 60 'feet. We also feel that any plat should provide the space for sidewalks. But, if the Common Council should see fit to vary from this procedure in this peculiar instance, this Commission would liki to recommend that the Council make provisions for an egress into the alley, in place of a culdesac; that Mr. Rundell stipulate in deeds to the property, that each dwelling would be required to have a two car wide drive way (19 feet); and that also some provision be .established for some type of sidewalks in the area. Respectfully submitted, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION By: Donald L. Grue, President" Mr. E. A. Rundell was present and discussed with the Council the matter of requiring an 18 foot drive into each driveway, dedicating a turnaround or dedicating a rite - of -way for the purpose of egress and ingress.

The following letter from L. A. Kopp was re' 'ad: uTo the Common Council of the City of.Rochester, Minnesota: Thel undersigned, as owner of property affected thereby, as you know, on several occasions appeared before your body and protested the matter of the proposed special assessments for the sewer project adjacent to the Crenlo Plant in the City of Rochester. While there is no objection to the installation of the sewer and no desire to cause any inconvenience or trouble. to the. Crenlo Plant or anyone benefited by the installation of the sewer, some of us feel that the manner of assessment is contrary to the city charter and the law, arbitrary and unreasonable. We,think there can be no question that the sewer is being installed primarily to eliminate a health hazard created by the Crenlo Plant andthat it will be the chief beneficiary thereof. What we object to, as the owners of the abutting lots adjacent to the .Crenlo Plant, is the .manner in which the Crenlo proportion of the cost', is being distributed; that is over the entire project. We feel that it should be distributed over that part of the sewer in front of and adjacent to the Crenlo Plant. If this is not done. it places a burden upon the adjoining property entirely out of proportion to the benefit received. It is well known that the topography of premises effected and the presence of rock formation make this a very expensive project at that particular section of the sewer. It Mould seem that any sum paid by Crenlo for this improvement should be applied in the construction costs at that place. s/L. A.
