No one wished to be heard during the Open Comment Period.
President John Hunziker called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. with the following
members present: Councilmembers Mack Evans, Dennis Hanson, Marcia
Marcoux, Jean McConnell, David Senjem, Walter Stobaugh. Absent: None.
President John Hunziker gave the following Address to the City:
Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you all for coming out this evening to
share your views and listen as we discuss the business of the City of Rochester.
I found myself both reflective and thankful as I prepared for tonight's address. On
behalf of all of us at this table, I want to thank the staff and all the citizens of
Rochester that worked so hard to prepare the community for the Y2K concerns. To
the best of my knowledge, the community came into the new year with no
problems. I believe this to be because of the thought and foresight of everyone
involved.
Throughout the last five years the City has experienced and dealt with a wide range
of issues: a new animal shelter, creation of new jobs, citizens and police working
together to combat crime and violence to make Rochester a safe community,
neighborhood organizations, providing youth activities such as the Skate Park at
the Olmsted County Fairgrounds, the Soldiers Field Bath House, a new high school
and our ongoing quest for post -secondary education, the needs of people in health,
education, recreation, and housing, barriers to minority groups involvement in City
employment, manufactured homes, revisions to the subdivision ordinance, orderly
growth and extension of City services, a human rights ordinance, highway 52,
transportation and airport issues, negotiation a new cable TV franchise, and
cleanup of the old landfill site to name a few.
To deal with the wide range of issues I just alluded to, the City along with the
County, School District, the Chamber of Commerce, and a large number of involved
citizens organized three groups to give us their thoughts, advice and direction.
Children First Olmsted County, the Infrastructure Task Force, and the 21st Century
Partnership.
The ideas put forth by these groups and acted upon by the Council have made
Rochester a place where people like to live and do business. Looking back, I
believe that we have made good, well thought out decisions that have benefited the
people we serve. We have a dynamic community that offers much to its people.
We have low unemployment, a growing commercial and industrial base, strong
interest in downtown development, and a vibrant overall economy.
This past year the City has focused much effort on affordable housing. We have
provided TIF assistance to 398 units and bonding assistance to 613 units.
Our sales tax -funded water quality program has received petitions covering 1,116
existing developed lots in Marion and Rochester Townships that will provide
significant assistance to the homeowners and protect the quality of the community's
drinking water supply.

We completed the re -franchising of cable TV to a state-of-the-art system including
high speed data access. We also secured additional institutional network and
public access system benefits for the School District, County, City and University
Center.
The relocation of Fire Station #4 to 415t Street N.W. was completed. The base work
for the airport runway extension is ready to be paved this year. The new Soldiers
Field Bath House was opened to the public and was used beyond anyone's
expectations.
Nearly 400 million dollars in new construction, 645 single-family units, 459 multi-
family units, and several large commercial/industrial projects were processed and
work begun.
Finally, the Law Enforcement Center's dispatch and record keeping systems were
brought on line.
The first thing I believe we should do this year is to have a strategic planning
session with the Council and department heads. All that the community is currently
involved in will take thought and planning on all our parts to do well. We have gone
from a time of declining revenues and needing to encourage economic
development to, as the paper stated, "being overwhelmed by it".
The 21st Century Partnership Task Force reports are done and work has begun on
implementing the ideas. I believe that the groups involved in setting up the process
should have a person whose job it is to see the implementation to fulfillment. I do
not want to see the ideas that came forth slide to the back burner because people
are so busy with things that come up day-to-day. I will be working with the City,
County, School District, Mayo Clinic and the Chamber of Commerce to jointly fund
this position for the next one to two years to see this project to completion.
As the City grows, we need to acquire a future relocation site for Fire Station #3, 2nd
Street S.W. and a possible site for a new Fire Station #5 in the southern part of
town.
Hopefully, we will commence construction on the expansion of the Civic Center and
begin construction on the Regional Recreational Sports Center at the University
Center Rochester to the benefit of the students and the community.
We hope to begin the Cascade Lake planning and development. We are waiting to
hear about funding for eight additional police officers. Hopefully the Times Square
development issues will be resolved within the next three months.
The Council will continue to strongly represent the City's interest in mitigating the
harm to the community that could be caused by the increased train traffic proposed
by the DM&E Coal Train Project. City representatives have met and will continue to
meet with the DM&E to find a way to keep millions of tons of coal and the trains that
will carry it from destroying the lifestyle of Rochester for the 85,000 people we
represent.

Affordable housing continues to be a high priority for the City Council. I want to
take a moment to publicly thank the Mayo Foundation and the Rochester Area
Foundation for initiating the First Homes Program whose aim is to produce 875
homes and townhomes. While this is an excellent beginning, it is clear that we will
have a continued need for housing that meets the needs of all income levels.
We will continue to work towards making Rochester a welcoming community that
acknowledges the good that comes from a diverse community made up of many
cultures and lifestyles.
We will continue to advocate for higher education opportunities through GRAUC as
a way to train or retrain our workforce and offer life-long educational opportunities
for the regional community.
Lastly, Holmes and Hawthorne schools have served our community for over 60
years. It is time to build a new grade school in southeast Rochester that offers all
the benefits and new technology that is available in grade schools in the other three
quadrants of town. It is my hope that the whole community of Rochester will
support a new grade school the way we all supported Century High School. These
children are our future.
wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the Mayor and Councilmembers for
the countless hours which they spend tending to the affairs of the City. I believe
that I speak for the entire Council when I say, we are your representatives, and we
can accomplish anything if we work together as a community.
Thank you.

Agenda
Item
DEVELOPED 13 MILLION DOLLARS OF SUPPORT AS WE ALL ASSIST THE
FIRST HOMES PROJECT TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
ROCHESTER.
ROCHESTER IS NOT RANKED AS "THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN AMERICA"
BECAUSE IT HAS NO PROBLEMS, BUT BECAUSE WE FACE AND BATTLE
AND FIND A CURE FOR OUR PROBLEMS. WHETHER IT IS FLOOD OR
RAILROADS OR RACISM OR A HOUSING CRUNCH — ROCHESTER WILL
"TAKE IT ON" AND CREATE A SOLUTION. THIS YEAR WE MUST HAVE A
PLAN IN PLACE TO SOLVE OUR COMMUNITY'S THREE GREATEST
CHALLENGES.
1. TO REBUILD HIGHWAY 52 THROUGH ROCHESTER BY 2006
2. TO FIND A SOLUTION TO OUR STRUGGLE WITH THE DM & E
RAILROAD THAT WILL LEAVE THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF
LIFE OF THIS CITY INTACT.
3. TO COMPLETE A PLAN FOR "SMART GROWTH" WITH OLMSTED
COUNTY TO AVOID SPRAWL THAT WASTES OUR TAX MONEY
AND ENDANGERS THE WATER SUPPLY OF THIS AREA. THE 20
MILLION DOLLARS THAT OUR CITY IS SPENDING TO PROTECT
OUR WATER RECHARGE AREAS MUST BE A PERMANENT FIX.
THIS COMING YEAR WILL SEE CONTINUING GROWTH AT THE AIRPORT
WITH A COMPLETE RENOVATION OF OUR 40 YEAR OLD TERMINAL AND
CONTINUING EXPANSION OF AIR FREIGHT FACILITIES. WE WILL ALSO
BUILD AN EXHIBIT HALL AT THE CIVIC CENTER AND A COMMUNITY SPORT
COMPLEX AT OUR UNIVERSITY CENTER.
WE WILL MAKE PROGRESS ON OUR CASCADE LAKE PARK DEVELOPMENT
AND RESOLVE THE TIME SQUARE DEVELOPMENT AND THE CONTINUING
GROWTH OF OUR DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL CENTER.
ROCHESTER IS COMPLETING AN UPGRADE OF ITS HIGH SPEED DATA
ACCESS SYSTEMS WITH THE HELP OF OUR NEW CABLE FRANCHISEE. WE
INTEND TO KEEP ROCHESTER THE BEST CONNECTED CITY IN THE
MIDWEST.
I WILL SPEND THIS NEXT YEAR AS I DID THE LAST WITH A PRIMARY FOCUS
ON GOOD PLACES FOR KIDS AFTER SCHOOL AND IN BUILDING STRONGER
NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS. WE NOW HAVE A BOYS AND GIRLS
CLUB IN ROCHESTER AT 1032 15T" AVENUE SE. THIS IS A FIRST STEP IN
BUILDING A REAL COMMUNITY CENTER FOR OUR KIDS. THE DIRECTOR IS
TRACY PEDERSON, AND SHE WILL DO A GREAT JOB FOR US.
THE NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS CONTINUES TO
EXPAND UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF JERRY DOOLEY AND BOB NOWICKI
AND WITH GREAT COOPERATION FROM POLICE CHIEF ROGER PETERSON

Councilmember Senjem asked about the potential extra cost of extra hearings, etc.
and whether there could be instances where the Council could override previous
decisions.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, said that what the ordinance is trying to do is make it
clear that when the Council has identified an issue of particular concern about a
project, staff does not have the authority to address that issue without going
through the Council but rather the applicant will need to go back to the Council in
the form of a hearing. If it is not a major issue to the Council, staff maintains the
authority to go ahead and authorize the change without additional hearings.

action to the Council. Therefore, he is asking that the item be extended to the April
3, 2000 Council meeting. A preliminary tax increment analysis should be prepared
for the project as well.
Councilmember McConnell noted that the Downtown Development Board had one
year ago recommended that the City pursue the project with the Royal
Management Corporation from Virginia rather than GAC-TS. He said that the
project has now grown to three+ blocks, been granted numerous extensions, have
asked for more TIF dollars; he did not feel that he could any longer vote in favor of
the project by GAC-TS.
Wishing to be heard was Greg Wendland, Attorney for GAC-TS. He stated that the
Letter of Intent has been received over the weekend. Nordstrom's has given a
very solid commitment to the project and everyone is very excited about the
prospect.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that a copy of the Letter of Intent has not been
provided to the City as requested in the original conditions.
Mr. Wendland stated that it is not possible to provide copies of the Letter to the
Council due to the confidential nature of the material contained within the Letter.
He noted that Doug Knott had seen and read the Letter. Both Nordstrom's and
GAC-TS have signed the Letter. There is a commitment from 17 other stores for
the project; those stores will be known on April 3rd
Wishing to be heard was Kevin Mulholland, Royal Management Group. He stated
that any further extension of time to GAC-TS should be denied and the original
project proposed by Royal Management should be considered. Royal
Management already is the owner of property on the block containing the project.
President Hunziker felt that we have lost sight of what was intended in the project.
Gone are the number of theaters, ice rink, the glitz. The project will now be one
block wide and three blocks long. There are no outside entrances for downtown
activity. He also wondered when the Committee on Urban Environment gets
involved.
Wishing to be heard was Charlie Birkelbach, Project Manager for GAC-TS. He
stated that they feel the scope of the project will be completed in the next two
weeks. At that time the stores, parking ramp, hotel, theatres, and retail will be
known.
Councilmembers Evans moved, Marcoux seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 136-
00 extending the exclusive negotiation period with GAC-TS for the Times Square
Project to April 3, 2000, and that (1) GAC-TS provide staff an opportunity to review
the Nordstrom Letter of Intent, and (2) GAC TS work with staff on the preparation
of an updated TIF study. Ayes (5), Nays (2). Motion carried. Councilmembers

City Clerk
Wishing to be heard during the Open Comment Period was Dr. Julie Jacobs, 812
15`h Avenue N.E. Dr. Jacobs had previously been charged with a barking dog
violation and animal abuse (for leaving the dog outside in inclement weather). She
explained that she is having trouble with the neighbors, is a responsible pet owner
and that she should not have been cited for the violations.
Wishing to be heard during the Open Comment Period was John Magnotto, 2711
Salem Road S.W. Mr. Magnotto indicated that he wanted his property connected
to sewer and water services through the City's Water Quality Protection Program
but feels that the City has treated him differently than his neighbors in the adjoining
Crocus Hills Subdivision.
President Hunziker asked that this matter be placed on the Committee -of -the -
Whole Agenda for February 28, 2000. He asked that Mr. Magnotto provide a list of
his requests to the Council so that they can be included in the agenda packet for

Drive S.W., west of Woodland Drive S.W. and north of Salem Road S.W.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby Associates, representing
the developer. He noted that the comments he would make applied both to the
GDP and the Zone Change applications. Mr. DuMond stated that they would like to
amend the zoning from B-5 to R-2 as a result of Planning Staff recommendations.
Staff felt that the restricted development may be a better option. The neighbors
have concerns about the traffic; the restricted development would allow for less
traffic in the neighborhood. He stated that the access to the old school house
would be closed off and the frontage road would service the R-2 property and the
schoolhouse only. He noted agreement with the three conditions recommended.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, asked that condition #1 be changed to read: "Storm
water management must be provided for this development." Condition #2 should
be changed to read: "If required by the City, applicant shall dedicate additional
right-of-way at the time of platting in order to accommodate......" Mr. DuMond
agreed to the change in the conditions.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

Wishing to be heard was Andy Masterpole, McGhie & Betts, representing the
applicant. The GDP will cover 80 acres in total. The roadway connections and
future subdivisions were looked at for the overall picture. Originally there were two
access points to 55th Street N.W.; in agreement with Public Works there will be only
one access with a temporary access used for construction. The Substantial Land
Alteration activities are due to removal of soil over ten feet; all soils will remain on
the site. They are in agreement with the conditions required. Mr. Masterpole
stated that there was some concern whether a mid -block pedestrian connection is
needed; it will be left to the City Engineer to make that determination.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that condition #2 requires right-of-way and
condition #5 requires easements. He asked that the word "by dedication" be
inserted after the word "required".
Wishing to be heard was Harvey Ratzloff, representing Bigelow Enterprises. He
noted that the development would be part of the "first homes" project with houses
dispersed throughout the subdivision.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Stobaugh seconded, to approve General
Development Plan #146 by Bigelow Enterprises to be known as Kingsbury Hills
with eight conditions, conditions #2 and #5 as amended, and instructed the City
Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order. Ayes (7),
Nays (0). Motion carried.

A Hearing on General Development Plan #147 by Arcon Development, Inc. to be
known as the Graves Property GDP located east of 50th Avenue N.W. and south of
65th Street N.W.
Wishing to be heard was Andy Masterpole, McGhie & Betts, representing the
applicant. He stated that the development would consist of single family homes
sitting on lots of 2.9 acres. Mr. Masterpole described the subdivision layout as a
61coving pattern" saying that the homes have a larger setback for front yards with
curvy street patterns and sidewalks.
Wishing to be heard was Larry Frank, Acron Development, Eagan, Minnesota. Mr.
Frank stated that Acron Development are land developers and not builders. They
have architectural control over the subdivision and approve any and all building
plans. Uniformity is maintained and landscaping is required on all lots. He noted
that the first phase will be in the southeast corner of the property and consist of
approximately 25 lots.
Wishing to be heard was Bill Oswald, 5718 Lancaster Place N.W. Mr. Oswald was
representing the Northwest Neighborhood Association. The Association supports

the project. He noted that eight individual development plans are going to be
approved within a two square mile area. Mr. Oswald noted his concern with all of
the projects along and accessing 50th Avenue N.W. He questioned when
something was going to be done as far as completion of 50th Avenue.
Wishing to be heard was Dan Mairdl, 6222 50th Avenue N.W. His concern is with
the roadway and the procedure that they found out about the project. The
brochure for the subdivision was already printed showing the roadway next to his
home. He felt that it would be in the best interests of all involved to let the adjoining
property owners know what is happening prior to seeing it in a brochure.
Procedures need to be put in place for earlier notification. Phil Wheeler, Planning
Department, stated that they are unaware of the proposals until neighborhood
meetings are scheduled.
Wishing to be heard was Greg Keruris, 6405 50th Avenue N.W. His concern was
with the development of roads into the new developments. The roadway for the
townhomes is directly across from his home; some of his land will need to be
acquired for right-of-way access. He asked that the developers talk with the
adjoining landowners prior to the development of the property.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted page 203 of the Staff Findings and
Recommendations. Paragraph one states the provisions for provisions for capital
improvement and streets, etc. Paragraph two is the finding adopted by the
Planning Staff. Line four states that the needed street system improvements are
not reflected in the current six -year CIP or other plans. Mr. Adkins stated that this,
therefore, suggests that this General Development Plan does not satisfy the public
facilities portion of the ordinance.
Gary Neumann, City Administrator's Office, noted the 300 home restriction on
development in the area until improvements to 501h Avenue N.W. are completed.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Marcoux seconded, to approve General
Development Plan #147 by Arcon Development, Inc. to be known as the Graves
Property with ten conditions and instructed the City Attorney to prepare Findings of
Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order. . Ayes (6), Nays (1). Motion carried.

E-12 A Hearing on Reconsideration of the Bituminous Plant Operations Included with
Type III, Phase II Restricted Development #98-05 located south of 40th Street S.W.,
west of TH 63.
Wishing to be heard was Arlen Gronseth, 3709 Ninth Avenue S.W. Mr. Gronseth
related that during the past summer and this winter heavy smoke was present in
the neighborhood to the north of the proposed bituminous plant from the burning of
cleared trees. The smoke would hang within the area for long periods of time. He
felt that the property to the south of 40th Street is not appropriate for a bituminous
plant.
Wishing to be heard was John Arnold, Dunlap and Seeger, representing the
applicant, Franklin Kottschade. Mr. Arnold stated that there has been no mining or
bituminous operation during the past year since the CUP had been issued. He
noted that they are still awaiting approval from the MPCA prior to any start of the
plant. They are asking that the Council review the operation at this time rather than
waiting until July 2000 as previously approved. Since there has been no operation,
they are requesting that the permit for the plant be extended to coincide with the
length of time that the CUP is in existence rather than have periodic reviews.
Wishing to be heard was Lowell Penz, 601 36th Street S.W. As previously testified,
Mr. Penz agreed that the smoke was a big problem laying in the valley. The
burning stopped periodically when the smoke was excessively heavy. He also
noted the need for fencing around the ponding areas as there are many small

children that may wander onto the property. He also asked that each homeowner
receive notification of any future information or hearings rather than only the owner
of the manufactured home village. Mr. Penz presented a petition to the Council
signed by residents of the neighborhood noting their dissatisfaction with the
proposed plant. They also addressed the lack of notification of the project to the
residents.
The following residents provided testimony relating how smoke filled the residential
areas has become, the problems that may arise with asthmatic and other ill people
in the neighborhood, the potential hazards of dump and larger trucks traveling on
40th Street, children in the neighborhood playing along 40th Street and also entering
where the ponds are, and the ponds not being fenced. They also felt that the
present permit allowing the bituminous should be revoked because of the problems
already experienced.

Kottschade stated that there are mining operations within the City and County that
are run parallel to this operation. In response to Councilmember Evans question of
installation of a fence around the pond, Mr. Kottschade said that he would take it
under consideration. There are currently no trespassing signs placed in the area
and the area is policed as much as possible. He said that the township issued the
burning permits. They did shut down the burning when the wind conditions caused
the smoke to blow into the neighborhood.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers asked that the residents of the mobile home park as well as the
homeowners be notified of any further meetings or developments on this issue.
They also felt that a meeting between the applicant and the neighbors would be
helpful. They did not feel that they could revoke the permit as the operation has no -
yet been up and running. After startup, they asked that the operation be brought to
them for review.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Stobaugh seconded, to review the bituminous
operation on November 6, 2000. Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.

Gary Neumann raised a question about condition #4 for BBB Development stating
the development must be phased so that 50th Avenue north of 55th Street does not
exceed approximately 3000 trips before it is upgraded. He stated that this could bE
interpreted to mean before the road is completely reconstructed. At the
Committee -of -the -Whole it was talked about having language that new
development could not exceed 3000 trips unless the Council had agreed to a
public improvement project to upgrade the condition of 50th Avenue. Mr.
Neumann felt that the condition #4 should be clarified to conform to the language
agreed to by the Council at the afternoon meeting.
Councilmembers agreed that the wording should specify that the Council has
agreed to consider the project, have the hearing within 30 days, approve or not
approve the project based on the receipt of signed development agreements from
the abutting property owners, and then the developers could move ahead with the
rest of the developments. If the City Council rejects the bids, the 3000 vehicle trip
limit is again applicable.

Wishing to be heard was Norm Erickson, 1303 Fifth Avenue N.E. Mr. Erickson
commented on the proposed gas turbine generator that Rochester Public Utilities
plans on purchasing. Mr. Erickson stated that the turbine is proposed to cost
approximately $35 million and would be used only at peak demand times. He note
that summer peak demand is caused by residents who use air conditioners; why
should all Rochester residents have to pay for the charges and subsidize the
system. Mr. Erickson felt that a more equitable way needs to be found to charge
those customers who use the service rather than all. He asked the Council to call
for a public hearing to allow residents to voice their opinions.

project through the use of tax increment financing, the City powers should exercise
their fiduciary responsibility by insuring that the project is a good investment who
will benefit everyone in our community with the least amount of risk to the public's
investment." Mr. Blanchard asked that the City Council seek from the developers
commitment to labor -peace assurances .before any public money is used ii
projects.

Councilmember Evans inquired as to why the application for the position of
Administrative Services Manager was starting at such a high rate of pay. Linda
Gilsrud, Human Resources Director, and Steve Kvenvold, City Administrator,
explained that the position had been lowered and reclassified to a civil position from
the present Fire Department position, had assumed more and varied
responsibilities than the previous position, and would be needed for a highly -
qualified individual. They also explained that because it will now be a civil position,
a considerable savings of salary would be realized by the City. Ms. Gilsrud stated
that the preferred applicant is near the top of the salary offered and the City would
not be able to obtain him for less. Mr. Kvenvold stated that he felt that the
Personnel Action Committee should look at the policy that they use and perhaps
involve the Council as to a recommendation for hiring.

Ridge located along the south side of Valleyhigh Road N.W., west of West Circle
Drive.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that there was no appeal taken from the Planning
Commission's action on the variance. Therefore, the variance issue is not before
the Council.
Wishing to be heard was Mac Hamilton, 400 South Broadway, representing Badger
Development. Mr. Hamilton noted their agreement with the conditions with the
exception of conditions #5, #7 and #12. He disagrees with condition #5 in that he
was not aware that sidewalks are required in an industrial zone. Another of his
developments to the east did not require sidewalks and they should not be required
on both sides of the street. They would like to discuss this condition further with
staff. He noted that there were no wetlands, therefore, the condition #7 should be
waived. The Fire Department will not hold up development of the building under
condition #12 so long as no one occupies the building. Condition #14 is a new
condition which they have no problem with.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Stobaugh seconded, to approve Preliminary Plat
#00-13 to be known as Badger Ridge with fourteen conditions and instructed the

Construction to allow for sand and gravel extraction and fill on property located

is fill from the north side for the residential area, it provides water quality treatment
and also provides for flood storage. There is a five-year limitation on the mining
operation, running to May 1, 2005. They are in agreement with the four conditions.
Mr.Tointon talked about the property to the west of the development and the
possibility of using it for parkland.
Denny Stotz, Park Department, stated that the Park Department is not interested in
the land as it contains about eleven feet of fill debris which would be cost prohibitive
to remove.
Steve Kvenvold, City Administrator, noted the future liability the City could be
involved in if the land became a park.
Wishing to be heard was Don Staley, 2435 Aspen Lane S.W., one of the applicants,
said that there are no pollutants on the land but that it is unbuildable because of the
building debris contained underground.

F-1 Wishing to be heard was Kevin Mullen, representing Royal Management and
Development. Mr. Mullen noted a number of significant changes in the original
project. He stated that an underground parking facility with up to 90 parking spaces
would be created. The TIF assistance requested of $3.8 million would be a pay-as-
you-go basis, eliminating any risk to the taxpayer. They also agree to forgive all
capitalized interest on the assistance saving the City between $500,000-$600,000.
No assistance would be requested for any of the properties now owned by Royal
Management. Mr. Mullen asked that the City designate Royal Management as
developer for their property and challenge Time Square to refigure themselves into
the remainder of the library block and the surrounding blocks. He asked that the

Council view the project on its merits. They also believe that the City should have
more than one developer for the downtown area.
Wishing to be heard was Greg Wendland, Wendland and Utz, representing GAC
TS. Mr. Wendland referenced the Council meeting on May 1st, 2000, when
speakers addressed the support of the Time Square Project. The speakers
represented pillars and life-long members of the community who live and work in
the City. They spoke as to what the project could do to revitalize the downtown
community. The benefits afforded to the City of Rochester are many by the project.
Benefits include additional business brought to the existing businesses in
downtown, attraction for larger and more numerous conventions for the Civic
Center. The project brings Nordstroms, the most sought-after store for shopping
areas. Other top tenants are attracted with the addition of Nordstroms, an
additional 1500 jobs will be created for the community, additional parking revenues,
increased real estate levels for businesses in the downtown area and increased
hotel/motel tax revenues. Mr. Wendland noted that Royal Management would be
able to purchase up to two floors of office space from Time Square as well.
Councilmembers McConnell and Stobaugh voiced their concerns with the amount
of TIF dollars requested by GAC TS as opposed to Royal Management. They
were concerned about the burden to two generations of taxpayers and the
significant risk involved with the GAC TS project.
Councilmembers Hanson, Evans and Marcoux were excited about the project
saying that it gives something to the people of Rochester. They felt that it would
stimulate the downtown area and give something to the future for the City of
Rochester.
Councilmembers Senjem stated that they need to look very carefully at the two
projects and make sure that one or both happens; perhaps there is a way to bring
the two projects together.
President Hunziker asked the Council to consider a compromise with Royal
Management maintain development of their 40 percent of the old library block with
GAC TS occupying 60 percent of the block and whatever else would be needed. If
both projects can succeed, one of the projects does not die and the City wins.
Councilmember McConnell moved, Stobaugh seconded, to designate Royal
Management as the developer for their project and allow GAC TS to proceed with
the remainder of the block and whatever other property they may acquire.
Discussion.
Councilmembers Evans, Hanson, Marcoux and Mayor Canfield felt that the
designation of one developer for one part of the block and another developer for
another part of the block would not be feasible. They felt that in making the
designation, they are telling the developer how to develop their project. They also
felt that GAC TS needed the old library portion of the block to have the Nordstroms
anchor on the corner of the block as originally designed.

Wishing to be heard was Ken Ness, Victoria's Restaurant, Second Street. Mr.
Ness told the Council that Victoria's picked Rochester as a restaurant site because
of the quality of the town, the revitalization of downtown and the availability of
parking for their customers. He related that now, however, his staff and the public
have difficult in finding parking at any time of the day. He asked the Council to
consider the possibilities of providing more parking in the downtown area.

Wishing to be heard was Mary Smith, 1311 Kings Run Drive N.W., Vice -President
of the Edenborough Estates Homeowners Association. Ms. Smith noted the
problem with the hillside in the rear of the property at 5314 Belmoral Lane N.W.
She said that the slope is too steep to be mowed or walked on. The developer told
the residents that the problem would be corrected but nothing was done about the
problem.
Wishing to be heard was Peggy Schommer, 5314 Belmoral Lane. She also noted
that the developer had told her that when the townhomes were completed on the
top of the hill, the hillside would be regraded.
Wishing to be heard was Al Carlson, 1324 Kings Run Drive N.W. He stated that
the hillside can only be mowed with a weedeater. Landscapers have given
estimates but the homeowners feel that the problem lies with the developer.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, stated that the developer followed the
grading plans approved by the Public Works Department for this area. The hillside
was never meant to be mowed but to be left in a natural vegetation state.
Wishing to be heard was Karla Hamilton, 5310 Belmoral Lane N.W, also stating
that the hillside behind her property is in the same condition and unable to be
mowed.

watertower. The equipment would be enclosed using a berm area plus landscapin
to make the structures less noticeable. He noted they are now asking for only the
variance of 25 feet of the allowed setback to the west side of the property line. Mr.
Rovang stated that they are following the policy developed by the Council to allow
telecommunication towers on public structures. He also noted that RPU does not
solicit business for the water towers but that the companies approach RPU for the
right to lease the land to accommodate the telecommunication towers.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that federal law prohibits discrimination against
the analog Vs the digital system of equipment. The city may not take any action
which gives an unfair advantage to one competitor over another.
The following individuals presented testimony against the granting of the variance.
They noted that the structures will be unsightly, the water tower will be supporting
eleven towers (more than any other structure in a residential area in the City), that
the possibility for dangerous generation of radio waves could happen and that the
area may not be maintained. They also questioned why towers are not put on
Mayo Clinic property.

City should cooperate in providing facilities for telecommunication towers to be
erected. He noted that in a few years all communications will be run off the towers
rather than phone lines.
Wishing to be heard was Julie Townsend, AT&T Representative, Bloomington. Ms.
Townsend stated they do have an analog type of equipment requiring more space
that other systems. She said that AT&T will do whatever is necessary to make the
facility fit with the community and satisfy the neighbors. Exteriors of the structures
will be made to conform with the surrounding residences and maintenance
operations are only once every four to six weeks. She said that they are not
currently looking at other locations, they do not have any equipment on Mayo
Property except the St. Mary's water tower, and their equipment is not outdated.

Wishing to be heard was Harvey Ratzloff, 4402 Sixth Street N.W., representing
Bigelow Enterprises. Mr. Ratzloff noted their agreement with all conditions with the
exception of condition #6. He asked that the condition be struck due to the fact that
the utilities are in the 55th Street right-of-way that has been annexed to the City.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, asked that the condition remain due to the
fact that it is unclear at this time the width needed to place utilities in the 55th Street
right-of-way. An additional width may be needed to bring the sanitary sewer along
55th Street rather than digging up the roadway.
Mr. Ratzloff was in agreement with condition #6 as well.

A Continued Hearing on Type 111, Phase I Appeal #00-01 of the Rochester Zoning
Board of Appeals denial on Type III, Phase I, Variance Request #00-09 by
Rochester Public Utilities to allow for the construction of two structures located at
2301 Baihly Summit Drive S.W.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Utz, 21 First Street S.W., representing AT&T
Wireless Services. Mr. Utz noted that an extensive analysis of the site had been
made and a revised landscape plan has been submitted. The revised landscape
plan uses a retaining wall along with shrubs and plantings to camouflage the
buildings needed at the base of the water tower. He stated that if a variance is not
granted, AT&T will erect the building at the required setback with only the required
landscaping. Mr. Utz cited the case of the City of Maplewood trying to deny
telecommunications equipment; the Federal Communications Act upheld the right
of the telecommunications subscriber to place their equipment at required setbacks.
Wishing to be heard was Julie Townsend, AT&T Wireless Services, Bloomington.
Ms. Townsend noted the areas of town where signals do not reach the users;
signals will travel only two to six miles. She said that the original site that was
considered, off Bamber Valley Road S.W., has no vacant lots to place towers. Ms.
Townsend also stated that AT&T is committed to building structures that blend with
the surrounding residences for color and quality of building materials. The
structures are usually 12 feet x 28 feet in diameter.
Wishing to be heard was Doug Boese, 2217 Bailey Summit Drive S.W., acting as
spokesperson for the Baihly Summit neighbors. He said that they were not
satisfied with the proposal from AT&T. He stated that they were of the
understanding that the neighbors were to be contacted by AT&T after the last
meeting, not Rochester Public Utilities. They have never seen the new landscaping
plan that was shown until today so could not comment on it. Mr. Boese noted that
they were under the understanding the nothing would be done with the water tower
until after the Council meeting; however, people were working on the project today.
The neighbors felt that towers should be put on at least two acre lots and that a
180-day moratorium should be placed on all water sites until such time that the City
has had a chance to review the ordinance and revise it to not allow towers on any
water towers in residential sites.

Terry Adkins noted that the variance that was requested affected AT&T only and
not the other two companies also leasing space on the water tower.
Wishing to be heard was Gregory Korstad, Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren,
Bloomington, representing APT Minneapolis, one of the other two
telecommunication companies leasing space from RPU on the water tower. The
lease was executed March 1, 2000, and obtained a zoning certificate from the
Planning Department on March 17, 2000. A March 6, 2000, letter from the Building
Department indicated no permit was required. In hearing about possible
moratoriums, the company started construction on its authorized use of the Baihly
Summit water tower. The antennas are not going to be very visible to those not
knowing where to look on the water tower. They intend to erect the building on
whatever landscaping is imposed. He felt that the City had a much more hidden
telecommunication infrastructure by using these sites and by using the landscaping
screens that can be provided to hide the ground structures than other municipalities
have done.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Utz, representing AT&T, addressing the issue of a
possible moratorium. Minnesota Statute 462.355 says that imposing moratoriums
should not be arbitrary. The city has done an analysis and set a policy.
Moratoriums are for public policy and not permits. After the last meeting, a revised
landscaping plan was submitted to RPU within a week. AT&T has tried to work with
the community in this issue. Mr. Utz felt that they should meet with the neighbors at
this time as one of the concerns was that no meeting had been held.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that the Planning Director verified the zoning
certificate from APT Minneapolis. He also noted that APT has a signed contract. If
we did not fulfill our obligation, we may be guilty of a "taking" under the Fifth
Amendment. In regard to AT&T, Mr. Utz said that he had a zoning certificate; the
Planning Department indicated that he did not. The original contract with AT&T has
been signed by them but not by the City of Rochester. No representative from
Northern PCS was available. Mr. Adkins noted that there is a signed agreement
with them but he was unaware of a zoning certificate. Under the City of Rochester
ordinance a zoning certificate gives a vested property right which cannot be taken
away from an entity without paying for it. In response to a question concerning the
maximum number of antennas on a water tower, he said other companies can also
use the water tower until the water tower is adversely affected or one antenna
starts to interfere with the other towers.
Wishing to be heard was Gregory Korstad, Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren,
Bloomington, representing APT Minneapolis. He noted that they will be
constructing their facility along the lines approved by RPU unless there is another
alternative plan preferred by the City as a result of the AT&T landscaping design.
He also indicated, however, that they would not hold off building for any further
length of time; they have already postponed their building for 90 days.
Wishing to be heard was Michael Hicken, 2119 Bailey Summit Drive S.W., in
opposition of the proposed variance. He asked that the Council to request the

companies involved to look at all site alternatives and provide a summary of those
areas as to why or why not they would not be acceptable.
Wishing to be heard was Victoria Thompson-Lundsgaard. She is one of the owners
of the property to the west of the water tower. They are planning on developing the
area in the few years and are concerned about the effect the towers will have on
the land valuation. She also noted that they had not received any type of notice on
the proposed placement of the telecommunication towers for this area.
Wishing to be heard was Nancy Mellon, 2128 Bailey Summit Drive S.W. She
stated that in all other areas neighborhoods have been alerted as to what was
happening; this area was not. She asked the Council to cancel the contracts now
at whatever cost to the City. She also stressed the need for a 90-day moratorium
to take a further look at the policy that had been previously set by the Council on
the placement of towers in residential areas.
Wishing to be heard was Bob Fisher, 1154 23`d Avenue S.W. Mr. Fisher also
endorsed the idea of a moratorium to look at the ordinance and revise as needed
as it pertains to residential water towers. The moratorium would give the staff a
chance to look at the state and federal statutes and see if there are any ways that
the policy of the City can be modified for the future.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that if a moratorium resulted in changes in the
ordinance it would be prospective only; nothing would be changed for those already
existing.
Wishing to be heard was Doug Rovang, Rochester Public Utilities. Mr. Rovang
noted that if the variance is not granted tonight, APT goes ahead with their building,
meeting the setback requirements, but ruining the landscaping plan proposed by
AT&T. If the variance is granted, all three of the carriers are obligated to following
the proposed landscaping plan.
Wishing to be heard was Marilyn Theismann, 2243 Baihly Hills Drive S.W. Ms.
Theismann noted that she and others could not meet at this time due to the
lateness of the hour.

A Hearing on General Development Plan #154 to be known as O & B's Commercial
Center located west of Highway 52, south of 65th Street N.W. and Westgard's First
Subdivision.
Wishing to be heard was Jeff Griffin, GGG Engineering, Chatfield, representing the
owner. At the request of the neighbor to the west and the City, the land was
annexed approximately two years ago. The sewer line will go through the property
to allow the Penz property to the west to be developed. A transmission water line
extending from the North Park Tower to serve property east of TH52 will now be
placed on the north side of the property. There have been traffic problems; MnDot
has now closed the intersection at 651h Street. The proposed commercial use of the
property will not diminish the peak periods of traffic usage because the traffic
pattern will run the opposite direction of peak traffic. If the proposed R-1 had been
developed, a bottleneck would occur in the morning and evening. There are
currently billboards on the property that are non -conforming. The property owner
would like to put warehouses on the property.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, addressed the section in the land use plan
talking about strip commercial development; it noted it should be prohibited. The
use of strip development distracts from the general appearance of the property and
surrounding commercial uses.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, suggested that the Council consider the next item on
the agenda, the Land Use Plan Amendment #00-06, prior to taking action on the
General Development Plan.
Councilmembers Senjem moved, Stobaugh seconded, to table General
Development Plan #154 to be known as O & B's Commercial Center to consider
the Land Use Plan Amendment first. Ayes (6), Nays (0). Motion carried.

A Hearing on Land Use Plan Amendment #00-06 by Billman-Orr LLC to amend the
Land Use Plan from "low density residential" to "commercial" located west of
Highway 52, south of 651h Street N.W. and Westgard's First Subdivision.
Wishing to be heard was Jeff Griffin, GGG Engineering, Chatfield, representing the
owner. A neighborhood meeting was held with no objection to the project.
Councilmember Senjem said that this seemed to be more of a destination
development rather strip development. The people that go there are specifically
wanting to go there. Jeff Griffin, GGG Engineering, noted that they intend to extend
the cul-de-sac into the development as shown on the general development plan.
Councilmember McConnell did not agree with the B-4 zoning designation due to t
fact that B-4 supports numerous uses other than a warehouse. He noted that the
findings do not support the use of a commercial land use designation.

Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that the Planning Staff suggested an incentive

for the incentive development.

available uses at the site by the way of the general development plan.

A Hearing On Zoning District Amendment #00-08 by Billman-Orr LLC to rezone
from R-1 to B-4 land located west of Highway 52, south of 65'h Street N.W. and

Wishing to be heard was Jeff Griffin, GGG Engineering, representing the owner.
They noted that they were looking at a low -traffic usage of a warehouse.
Wishing to be heard was Kent Billman, 5100 West River Road N.W., co-owner of
the project. He noted that because of the access and location, a large
development, such as a Wal-Mart, would not be possible. The access dictates
common sense. We are interested in doing a warehouse. The zoning has to be B-
4 in order to allow the billboards.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, disagreed with the zoning statement and said that the
billboards would be non -conforming but would remain. Phil Wheeler, Planning
Department, said that an M-1 district would allow for a warehouse district.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

Wishing to be heard was Gregory Korstad, Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren,
Bloomington, representing APT Minneapolis, said that if the variance is approved,
they would move their building to a location designated on the RPU landscaping
plan.
After the neighbors met as a group, Councilmember Marcoux said that it was the
consensus of the neighbors that the variance be allowed with the location but that
the companies are to work with the neighbors on the landscaping. They are also
wanting a moratorium to look at what is currently in place for restrictions and other
concerns in residential areas. Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that a moratorium
would not impact APT, might impact PCS, and would impact AT&T.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Utz, representing AT&T. He said that his client,
AT&T has submitted the landscaping plan and would like to have the variance

side of 40th Street S.W., east of 11th Avenue S.W.
Wishing to be heard was John Arnold, Dunlap and Seeger, representing the
applicant, Franklin Kottschade. He noted that one of the requirements called for
the dedication of property and an agreement to fill according to the new slopes
designed for the proposed 40th Street. Mr. Arnold submitted for the record
preliminary drawings dated May 9, 2000, provided by the Public Works Department,
and the profiles of the actual grades necessary to cut back the slopes. He also
noted that a condition had been added on the location of a private roadway. In an
effort to get further information, a request was made on June 5th for that further
information from Richard Freese, Public Works Director; that letter and the
response from Mr. Freese of June 14, 2000, was also submitted for the public
record. Mr. Arnold had been advised by his client that they are not in agreement
with any of the conditions in the staff proposal including that the private roadway
running parallel with 40th Street S.W. be located on the general development plan
outside the 40th street right-of-way. They are opposed to all the conditions marked

a sewer backup in a City/Owner contract; the primary insured is Road

and indicate how they wish to respond.
The City/Owner Contract between the City, Rochester VOA Housing and
Road Constructors is before the City Attorney to preliminary approval. The
contract for J-6397, being considered at this time, would have the same

Wishing to be heard was Laverne Senst, 1012 First Street N.W. Mr. Senst
noted that some of the trees in the neighborhood are not being removed after
they have died. Mr. Senst felt that such unsightly conditions devalued his
and other properties that owners are keeping up.
Wishing to be heard was John Molkentin, 1004 West Center, in favor of the
permit parking; he said that they currently have no place to park in front of
their homes.
Wishing to be heard was Susan LeGare-Gulden, Building and Safety
Inspector for the City of Rochester. She noted that the property at 904 West
Center has been rental property for a number of years. The landlord has
been good in working with the Department over the past years. She favored
permit parking for the area; she said that if it is approved, other front yard
parking would probably be stopped.
Wishing to be heard was Teras Yonkers, 623 Third Street N.W. She asked
that permit parking be excluded for Lourdes High School students; the
parking should only be for the residents.
Wishing to be heard was Sylvia Quirk, 847 First Street N.W. She said that
the front yard parking at 904 West Center has been a problem for five to six
years. She asked why it was taking so long to resolve the problem and why
the ordinance banning front yard parking isn't being enforced. Ms. Quirk said
that the tenants of the building are driving over the boulevard to get onto the
front yard. She was in support of the permit parking but didn't think it would
help solve front yard parking problems.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the
hearing.
Councilmember Stobaugh noted that front yard parking is a continual problem
in the neighborhoods. He suggested the preparation of an addition to the
housing ordinance, for those properties covered by rental certificates which
would require compliance with all other state, county and city ordinances and
which would provide for suspension and revocation of rental certificates
should there be non-compliance. He referred to the Liquor Ordinance that will
not allow approval until all other ordinance requirements are met.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, said that he would draft an ordinance to be
considered at the July 17th Council meeting that would call for revocation or
suspension of rental certificates if compliance with other ordinances are not
met.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, Marcoux seconded, to adopt Resolution
No. 469-00 approving the Residential Permit Parking Petition from the Kutzky

A Hearing on Type III, Phase II Restricted Development Conditional Use
Permit #00-13 by Galen and Patricia Youngkrantz, to allow for the
development of a recreational vehicle park located along the east side of 11 to
Avenue S.W., south of Scenario Lane S.W., and north of 10tn Avenue S.W.
Mitizi Baker, Planning Department, brought forward further information. She
stated that after the Planning Commission public hearing was held, further
information on Minnesota Rules that require mandatory environmental
worksheets to be prepared for an RV parks with 50 or more units. The
consultant has informed Planning that they will reduce the park size to 49
units or less.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Welch, GGG Engineering, representing the
applicant. He said that the four units that would be dropped would be in the
northeast corner adjoining the South Pointe property. Mr. Welch noted their
concern with Condition #14 requiring a storm shelter. He said that a shelter is
not required for this type of development. He also noted that due to the
layout of the building, there is no place to put a shelter that would meet the
requirements for open space. Mr. Welch also was concerned with Condition
#15 requiring a fence on the north side of the property. He said that many
trees would need to be removed and did not feel that the people in the South
Pointe Subdivision would appreciate the removal of the trees. He also noted
that there was a utility easement located on the north property line that would
not allow for the placement of a fence as the condition would require. Mr.
Welch said that the houses in South Pointe are set back approximately 100
feet from the easement.
Wishing to be heard was Kris Hammel, 704 Scenario Lane S.W. She noted
that there are ten property owners on the property line; they are willing to
work with the developer. The first 20 feet on the north property line are
easements for various reasons. They are not concerned with the zoning but
rather with safety reasons for wanting the fencing. They thought the fence
would be 15-20 feet to the south of the property line and easement, just
outside the easement.
Wishing to be heard was Gaylen Youngkrantz, 2260 Fisher Court N.W. He
stated that the original easement was for 50 feet and was obtained for
People's Cooperative Power Association.
Wishing to be heard was Dave Thompson, 810 Scenario Lane S.W. He said
that the residents would like a six-foot fence to guarantee a firm barrier
between the homes and the RV park.
Terry Spaeth, Administrative Assistant, noted that the easement was a 50-
foot strip of environmental easement put in by the developer of South Pointe
so that the trees would not be destroyed and the residents of the
development would be hampered by commercial development to the south.

Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, suggested that Planning staff work with the
developer on the location of the fence. If it will encroach into the easement
area, they will determine who has rights to the easement area and whether or
not a revocable permit is an option.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, suggested that Condition #14 be reworded to
read: "If required by federal or state law or city ordinance, a storm shelter
shall be provided on the property".

Council that the County requires storm shelters in manufactured home parks.

Water Tower)
Wishing to be heard was Fredrick Suhler, Jr., Attorney, 2212 Second Street S.W.,
representing some of the property owners in the Baihly Summit site. He stated that
the process that has taken place to this point has not been legally appropriate. He
could not find in the June 19, 2000 minutes any motion to table this item. Mr.
Suhler pointed out that the Zoning Board of Appeals did not appear to make
findings to support the denial. The matter was then appealed to the Council on
June 5, 2000. There was nothing to note how the Council was to proceed; i.e.,

either on the record, start all over again, was new evidence and old evidence to be
represented, can old agenda items from another body be depended on, were letters
sent to people going to be decided? Mr. Suhler said that at some point something
changed between June 5 and June 19, 2000. There were unofficial meetings held,
discussions with staff and neighborhood representatives. The June 19`h meeting
had a different issue; a new site plan. The decision of the Board of Appeals was no
longer being dealt with. He urged the Council to send the issue back to the Board
of Appeals or deny the variance.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, stated to the council that they have four options. One,
return the issue of the variance to the Board of Appeals and start over. Two, review
the Findings on what you remember and your notes. Three, table the matter and
ask that a transcript of the hearings be made. Four, adopt the findings as they
stand.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, Hanson seconded, to approve the Findings of
Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order, as they stand. Discussion.
All of the Councilmembers present were in agreement that the issuance of the
variance was the best way legally possible to protect the neighborhood and the
residents; the extensive landscaping would be the best way to aesthetically buffer
the structures at the base of the tower.
Ayes (5), Nays (1). Councilmember Marcoux voted nay.
Having no further business, Councilmembers Hanson moved, Stobaugh seconded,
to adjourn the meeting. Ayes (6), Nays (0). Motion carried.

Wishing to be heard was Ken Moen, Attorney, on behalf of the neighbors in
Rochester Township who are in opposition to be annexed to the City. He noted
that Bamberwood Subdivision is 86% opposed, Highland Acres is 83% opposed,
Merrihills is 79% opposed, Oakledge is 100% opposed and Lenwood Heights is
61 % opposed. Residents in three other subdivisions have petitioned the City for
annexation and are now being held hostage by the City until the rest of the
subdivisions agree to annexation. He said that the City of Rochester could provide
no more services to these people than what is already being provided by the
Township. Assessment appeals will be exercised if the areas are annexed. These
areas are difficult to serve ... leave them alone.

become encumbered with buildings. It keeps the status of the land as vacant. The
entire project is planned for 2002-2003 completion; acquisition of land is planned

plan in the next three to six months, it is subject to further revision.

know if his access would be limited; if the median would be closed so that people
could not make a left-hand turn into his business. Richard Freese said that if
MnDot completely closes the access off Highway 63, they would need to purchase
the property or provide alternative access. However, the City has not been advised

south of 48th Street to date.

Wishing to be heard was Allan Mirehouse, 3512 481h Street N.W. After the sewer
backup on June 1, 2000, he called Rochester Public Utilities; a person came to
inspect the problem. The representative from RPU said that the problem was
caused by the open manholes. On that day, he stated that he watched a bulldozer
from Road Constructors push water into a manhole. Someone from one of the
engineering firms stopped by, told them to stop pushing the water into the
manholes and directed them to pump the water into a nearby dike. There was no
communication from Cincinnati Insurance other than the letter denying the claim.
President Hunziker asked Larry Koshire of Rochester Public Utilities to check their
records to determine who had arrived at the scene.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby, stating that he would
provide information to the identity of the person from Yaggy Colby responsible for
stopping the water being pushed into the manholes.
Wishing to be heard was Gloria Engle, 4412 13th Avenue N.W. Ms. Engle
introduced pictures of the damage to her property which were to become a part of
the record.
Wishing to be heard was Bob Forsyth, Heartman Insurance, 6830 Buckthorn Road
N.W.. Mr. Forsyth stated that he was handling the insurance coverages for Road
Constructors. He said that it was unfortunate that the homeowners did not carry
sewer backup coverage on their homeowner policies. Mr. Forsyth noted that he
received notification of the claims in late June and referred them to the Insurer. He
said that Breta Reitz is the local claim representative for Cincinnati Insurance
Company and has always returned calls promptly. Road Constructors was advised
by him not to be involved as they had referred the claims to their insurance
company. He said that Road Constructors is considered in the top 2% rating for
insurability; they have been involved in the growth of the City for the past 44 years.
Mr. Forsyth said that he received the City Attorney's July 5, 2000, tender of defense
letter and forwarded to the Insurer. The City Attorney indicated that he had not
received a response to his letter.
Wishing to be heard was Ken Moen, Attorney, representing Road Constructors. He
stated that Road Constructors fulfilled all the contractual requirements for the
project including required insurance and bonds. He noted that Road Constructors
tendered claims to the Insurer on June 8th and the Insurer is currently processing
the claims. He said that the City Council cannot act as Judge and Jury in this
regard. Mr. Moen said that if the City feels that contractors should return phone
calls to claimants, such language should be added to the contract.
Wishing to be heard was Peter Sandberg, Attorney, 1204 21st Street N.E., for
Cincinnati Insurance Company. He stated that Road Constructors is insured for
third party claims which this is. Once the claims are tendered, Road Constructors
has no control over the process. He indicated that the Insurer has not formally
responded to the City Attorney's July 6th, 2000, tender of defense letter. The
response should be forthcoming with 60 days. Mr. Sandberg also noted that it is
not unusual for an insurance adjuster not to visit a claim scene.

Tony Knauer, Public Works Department, acquainted the Council with the proposed
changes to the routes. Route 9 would be revised to serve only areas west of

currently a peak hour express route, would be revised to provide all day service.
Route 11 will have minor time adjustments during midday. Route 12, a direct route,
would be rerouted on the outbound in the morning and inbound in the afternoon to
serve more stops and Route 23, a Saturday route, would be revised to serve the
shopping area on South Broadway. Mr. Knauer said that Route 17, which currently
serves areas outside the City would be revised to delete County Road 11 and the
south portion of Marion Road. The question of jurisdiction and funding is the major
factor in revising the route. He noted that individuals were in the audience that
wanted to address the Council on this route.
Wishing to be heard were the following individuals in support of continuation of
Route 17. They noted that the residents of this area are missing out on public
transportation; the route is a service and not a money maker. The majority of the
individuals work at the Clinic where parking is an extremely frustrating attempt at
trying to find a place to park. There are over fifteen individuals using the route that
will be left out. Some of these persons would be agreeable to possibly additional
fees to keep the route.

Wishing to be heard was Jennifer Russell, 2701 Salem Road S.W. She related that
during construction in the area, the contractors were unconcerned about trees,
roads, etc. outside of the property limits. Ms. Russell asked why the easement was
being vacated; was it just to be able to build additional homes. She was concerned

run to the southeast corner of the property and eventually under Circle Drive and to
the other side of the road. However, the City, County and Salem Sound

drain to the west into a larger holding pond on the west side of Circle Drive.

Wishing to be heard was Brenda Dicken, Chairperson, Rochester Township. Ms.
Dicken first told of the impact that the annexation would have on the entire
township. She stated that annexation of 917 acres would change the makeup of
the township reducing the number of households by 383, or one-third of the total
households. Thirty-one percent of the tax base will be taken away from Rochester
Township. The impact on the residents will be a higher tax base, their services will

remain the same as the City does not plan to service the area with sewer and
water, and the residents don't want to be annexed.
Wishing to be heard was Jeff Broberg, McGhie & Betts Environmental Services
speaking as a Technical Consultant representing five neighborhoods opposing the
annexation. Mr. Broberg displayed maps showing the topography of the area and
the rock formations surrounding the proposed annexed area. He stated that it
would be very difficult and economically not feasible to bring sewer and water to
certain areas. They are currently on individual septic systems and utilize the
natural seeping processes effectively without contamination of the drinking water
system. He said that 17 percent of the septic systems in this area have been
successfully repaired.
Wishing to be heard was Ken Mohn, Dunlap and Seeger Law Offices, representing
neighborhoods in the proposed annexation area. Mr. Mohn asked that the maps
presented by Mr. Broberg be made a part of the record. He stated that if
environmental concerns are what's driving the annexation, those are concerns. Mr.
Mohn referred to, and entered into the record, a letter from Gary Neumann to
Brenda Dicken saying that it is not feasible for the City to extend sewer and water
and the City does not plan to do so. If the City did so, the cost would be in excess
of $30,000 for each home. Mr. Mohn entered into the record the results of the
survey of the neighborhoods in opposition to annexation: Bamberwood — 86
percent, Lenwood — 61 percent, Highland Acres — 83 percent, Merrihills — 79
percent and Oak Ledge —100 percent. He said that the record does not support an
environmental reason for the annexation; it only an economical reason. The
township contracts for fire services with the City of Rochester but all other services
are better services than the City could provide. The financial impact for the
township will have severe consequences. In answer to a question from the City
Attorney, Terry Adkins, Mr. Mohn said that he felt that it is his legal opinion that the
City cannot just take land because it is surrounded, that analysis is flawed; under
State law the City could not just take surrounded township land. Mr. Mohn also
asked why the City has deferred other annexations for ten years but feels that this
annexation must be immediate.
Wishing to be heard was Doug Kruger, 1430 30th Street S.W. Mr. Kruger noted tF
the City Administrator has indicated that the City must raise the tax levy to relieve
the stress of providing services to new property owners. Mr. Kruger said to leave
him out of the city.
Gary Neumann, Assistant City Administrator, asked that the Council packet
materials contained on pages 91-93 showing new services to areas that are
annexed be added to the record.
Wishing to be heard was Les Griebenow, 906 Forest Hills Drive S.W. Mr.
Griebenow asked if Forest Hills Subdivision was going to be annexed along with
the entire surrounded township area. Mr. Griebenow said he was told in 1999 that
sewer and water would be installed in 2000 and he questioned when or if it would
be coming. He was told by President Hunziker that he would be annexed and the

sewer/water service would be available to him the Forest Hills Subdivision in 2001
due to the delay over the annexation of the entire portions under consideration.
Wishing to be heard was Mike Vale, 620 Southtown Heights Drive S.W. Mr. Vale
wanted to know if the Water Quality Protection Program agreement that they signed
was still valid or would they be charged a higher rate. He was told that the dollar
figure quoted by staff would be the maximum amount charged.
Wishing to be heard was Lynn Didier, 2316 Hillside Lane S.W. She stated that she
was probably one of the families counted for annexation. Ms. Didier said that they
felt it was inevitable but now if water and sewer services won't be available to them,
why do they have to be annexed? Their home was built in 1966, they bought it in
1981 and the sewer and septic system is in excellent shape.
Wishing to be heard was Gene Peters, 3015 181h Avenue S.W., Rochester
Township Supervisor. He noted that the township helped coordinate the Water
Quality Protection Program meetings for those residents who petitioned for City
sewer and water services. At that time the township and residents were told that
there would be a seven-year delay before annexation. The township has been
willing to negotiate since the beginning on the areas that have petitioned for sewer
and water. After that, the officers were told that the area was 100 percent
surrounded and would be annexed.
Wishing to be heard was Jack Wiltsie, 2608 Merrihills Drive S.W. He asked if State
Statutes set annexation by ordinance at a five-year limit.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Senjem moved, Stobaugh seconded, to approve the initiation of
Annexation #00-12 to Annex Properties Located within Sections 10, 11, 14, 15, 16
and 23 of Rochester Township by instructing the City Attorney to prepare an
ordinance to be adopted and transmitted to the Minnesota Planning/Office of
Strategic and Long Range Planning. Furthermore, upon annexation, the property
should be assigned to the H zoning district. Ayes (5), Nays (2). Motion carried.
Councilmembers Marcoux and McConnell voted nay.

Wishing to be heard was Don Weinrich, 1617 Skyline Drive S.W., owner of the
building. He gave a brief history on the building noting the change in zoning in
1999 to allow office uses. Mr. Weinrich said that they have sent out over 1400
flyers and have done numerous advertisements in an effort to market the building.
He felt that the options that he has available to rent have been limited. He
requested that the Council approve the variance for a retail to allow a Christian
bookstore to operate on the property.
Wishing to be heard was Ann Fysk, 2070 Century Hills Drive N.E. Ms. Fysk said
that she hoped to bring more to the community by operation of a Christian
bookstore. She noted that she is a very community -oriented person and hopes to
make a difference.
Wishing to be heard was Jim Conway, ReMax, 4600 18`h Avenue N.W. Mr.
Conway noted that three churches surround the property and the idea of a Christian
bookstore in this location would be a good opportunity to expand the vision of giving
back to the community. He also noted that the business would be a good buffer for
the expansion of the TH52 project. He talked about the lighting of the parking lot
being directed downward so that they do not reflect into the townhomes above, that
deliveries will be minimal and that there will be no significant noise levels attributed
to the business. Mr. Conway stated that the interior and exterior of the building
would be improved as well. The retail look of the building would only be toward the
front and the signage would be minimal.
Wishing to be heard was Barbara McLeod, 1711 Walden Lane S.W. Ms. McLeod
was representing the Walden Lane Townhome Association. She noted their
opposition to retail trade in the building saying that the zone had been changed for
office use. They felt that retail trade would bring a negative impact to the
neighborhood. She said that it is their belief that a usage change based on a
personal want would create an unfair burden to the neighborhood. An office use
would create destination -bound traffic only and the concern of the neighbors would
be alleviated.
Wishing to be heard was Mary Lou Capelle, 1705 Walden Lane S.W. Ms. Capelle
said that the business presently owned by Ms. Fysk known as Wisteria Estates,
was located in a neighborhood where a newly built home was on the market for
some time. She asked if the business was a negative impact to the selling of the
adjoining home. Ms. Capelle noted that there are no other businesses located in
close proximity to the townhomes. She did not believe that the Christian bookstore
would be a better buffer than the building used as an office use.
Wishing to be heard was Pat Capelle, 1705 Walden Lane S.W. He said that the
neighborhood is not conducive to a business right now. The concern is with the
parking lot that is located four feet from the townhomes. He is in full support of
office use, not retail.
Wishing to be heard was Mac Hamilton, Real Estate Agent for Don Weinrich. Since
January the building has been marketed and they have been trying to find a tenant.
One law firm asked for inappropriate signage, another dental office became

interested but did not sign the contract. They feel that they have an appropriate
use at this time.
Wishing to be heard was Edward Hagen, 1703 Walden Lane S.W. Mr. Hagen said
that the issue is very clear, the neighbors don't want retail in their backyard.
Wishing to be heard was Joe Postier, representing the Congregational Church to
the south. The dental office was a good neighbor to the church. He said that Ms.
Fysk's business will have less traffic than the dental office and she has assured
them that the signage will remain the same. The only problem may arise in the
Sunday opening of the business but he did not see that something could not be
worked out. Mr. Postier felt that the business is a very harmless operation for a
retail business and would like to see them as a neighbor for the church.
Wishing to be heard was Paul Pehler, 1712 Walden lane S.W. Mr. Pehler noted
that he has lived in the neighborhood since 1972 prior to any of the buildings. He
does not see the proposed business as objectionable and is in favor of the
business being located in the dental building.

Discussion.
Councilmember McConnell felt that the City should be limited to its 2000 levy
amount. He stated that the law is very confusing. He said that a levy increase is
not appropriate at this time. He made reference to a memo from Steve Kvenvold
stating the outside agencies are draining the City of the contingency fund; only 8.4
percent is related to direct operations of City government. Councilmember
McConnell said that he doubted he would ever vote for a contingency fund
resolution again. He said that in the next couple of years the City may be asking
the taxpayers in the City to come up with scores of millions of dollars in the ongoing

as a neighborhood she feels that they should support the residential parking area.
She did ask why doesn't Lourdes charge their students for parking in the existing Ic
that is currently leased to Mayo like the other high schools do for their parking lots.
Ms. Quirk said that there is no denial that Lourdes needs parking but it causes
pressure on the rest of the neighborhood. She asked about the temporary parking
area that was developed as a result of the closing of First Avenue; is it to become
residential parking or only for Lourdes. Ms. Quirk stated that she felt that Lourdes
needs to look to the future and possible future growth and what they plan to do.

President Hunziker noted that streets where permit parking exists have no cars on
them which leaves him to believe that there may not be the driving need for people
to park in front of their homes as they have been told. He believed that the permit
program might need to be studied.
Wishing to be heard was Deanna Mamasis, 119 Seventh Avenue N.W. She said
that she is in full support of Lourdes having permit parking in the area. At the
present time, all of the parking spaces are taken by either Mayo employees or
construction workers.
Wishing to be heard was Zane Zondrow, 409 19th Avenue S.W. He said that even
though some of the streets appear to be empty during the day, when the shifts
change or people get off work at 3:00, 4:00 or 5:00 P.M., there is nowhere to park
except driveways.
Wishing to be heard was Laurie Schacht, 107 Seventh Avenue N.W. Ms. Schacht
felt that everyone should be able to park on a street without having to pay to park
there. She stated that Lourdes does have a parking lot that they are making mone
on by renting to Mayo, but she now has to pay to park in front of her house.
Wishing to be heard Tess Mamasis, 119 Seventh Avenue N.W., living adjacent to
the vacant lot. Ms. Mamasis recalled a meeting sponsored by Mayo where they
stated, because of patient safety, they were eager to retain churches and schools it
the neighborhood. She supported Lourdes staying in the neighborhood; whenever
student problems arose, the principal (Dennis Nigon) addressed those problems in
a timely fashion.
Wishing to be heard was Dennis Nigon, 1669 Ninth Avenue S.E., Principal at
Lourdes High School. He explained that the block north of Lourdes High School,
the parking lot, is owned by the Lourdes Foundation, a separate entity. The
Foundation purchased the property with the understanding that Lourdes High
School, at sometime in the future, build an addition onto the high school. The
property purchased where the parking lot is now were houses in extremely poor

E-6 A Hearing on Zoning District Amendment #00-09 Establishing City Zoning Districts
in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 17, 18 and 21 Marion Township included in the Orderly
Annexation Area.
Wishing to be heard was Dale Meyer, 1623 Marvale Avenue S.E. Mr. Meyer
wanted to know why storm sewer was not installed at the same time as the sanitary
sewer and watermain. He was not in favor of the zoning.
Wishing to be heard was Mickel Owens, 3315 42"d Avenue S.E. Mr. Owens said
that he represented owners in the #5 annexation area. There is a petition in
process to amend the orderly annexation agreement to exclude this area. The
majority of the property owners are not in favor of annexation, extension of the
sanitary sewer and watermain, nor the change in zoning to that area.
Wishing to be heard was Gregory Wright, 2250 Cedar Park Court S.E. Mr. Wright
noted that he was in favor with the annexation because he felt that it affords the
property owners some protection. He asked who represented him during the period
of limbo.
Wishing to be heard was George Kingsley, 4310 291h Street S.E. When Mr.
Kingsley bought the property in 1993, it was zoned Commercial. The zoning has
now been changed to Interim with Commercial on the upper part of the property.
Mr. Kingsley related that he has 17 acres containing his businesses, a used car
dealership and a body shop, and his home. He has planned on expanding his body
shop business and finds that the rezoning will restrict him from doing so. Although
the property has no structures bordering on Marion Road, 291h Street is a collector
street.
Wishing to be heard was Ken Moen, Attorney with Dunlap and Seeger,
representing George and Jim Engels. Mr. Moen noted that the actual annexation is
seven to ten years in the future; why should there be such a rush to rezone these
properties until the project is being built. Mr. Moen suggested deferring action on
the rezoning of the Marion Township properties until that time. If the Council still
wishes to rezone, properties such the Kingsley property, that holds a zoning
certificate and building permit, should be zoned commercial and not placed in an
Interim zoning area.

Wishing to be heard was George Engels, 4714 Vine Place S.E. Mr. Engels owns
property on 30`h Avenue S.E. bought in 1993 and in 1994 they rezoned ten acres
commercial. The property has been commercial since 1938; it is now to be
rezoned to Interim. He asked that the ten acres zoned commercial be kept as
commercial. They are currently renting out the buildings to small businesses. If I
as light commercial, they could continue do so.
Wishing to be heard was Kevin Guy, 2241 Marion Road S.E. Mr. Guy is owner of
the BMX speedway. He and his family also live on the property which comprises
about 14 acres. When they bought the property, it was stamped commercial.
They went through the zoning process. It is now suggested that they become a
special zoning district. He asked whether the Township or the City now represents
him; he can't vote in the City election but they represent what he can or cannot do
with his property. The City is now requesting an easement across the back portion
of his property for the sewer. However, Mr. Guy sated, the contractor is already
there. He is opposed to the special district as he doesn't want his property to be
separated from anyone else. Mr. Guy is considering expanding his business by
possibly putting in a skate park, which will be a benefit to all kids. If the problems
are too great, however, he will consider moving to another town. He asked that the
rezoning be tabled to be able to look at further information.
Wishing to be heard was Jeff Thompson, Olmsted County Commissioner, 2271
Cedar Park Court S.E. Mr. Thompson noted that his business is located at 2258
Marion Road S.E. Mr. Thompson stated that from 1931 to 1971, Marion Road was
Highway 52. The property along the road did not follow basic planning principals a:
it contained multi -family and commercial as well as residential. Several parcels
have been commercial for 25 to 37 years. He felt that property rights are being
taken away with no vote on the process. Mr. Thompson said that he did not see a
need for rezoning of the properties until sewer and water are hooked up. He asked
that the item be tabled until the project is under construction in the area.
Wishing to be heard was Jane Batterson, 2604 Melody Street S.E. Ms. Batterson
noted that she owns a large lot and wants to subdivide. The lots will be served by
City sewer and water, the present septic system destroyed. She supported the
proposed zoning ordinance.
Wishing to be heard was Charles Johnson, 1809 Marion Road S.E., owner of the
Oak Grove Motel rental units. He said that his property is the density of R-3 City
zoning. Now the property is zoned for townhomes. He said that he doesn't believe
that his land has the depth necessary for townhomes. He asked that the proposed
ordinance be tabled until further information is received.
Wishing to be heard was Gerry Wruble, 3905 50`h Avenue S.E. He noted that the
Marion Township representatives sent the City on September 13, 2000, a letter
stating that, as a matter of record, they would like the City of Rochester to honor thi
zoning already in place for the residents along Marion Road involved in the orderly
annexation agreement. He said that this would be a good opportunity for the City ti
show their cooperation.

exception. He asked that the project be reviewed after one year's operation rather
than coming back at reviewing again on November 5, 2001.

calls to the Police on the property.
Wishing to be heard was Susan LeGare-Gulden, Building & Safety Inspector. Ms.
LeGare-Gulden presented photographs of the property noting that the property has
been broken into on several occasions. She said that her office was made aware

furnace has been red -tagged. She stated that it is evident that homeless persons
have been using the facility as noted by the trash, broken bottles and other litter.
Ms. LeGare-Gulden was confident that the property met the hazardous definition.
She noted that the 1999 and 2000 property taxes have not been paid. Tax
forfeiture will not be started by Olmsted County until 2002.

Planning Department. Under condition #9, Mr. Yanish has no control over the
alignment of the frontage road as the Mayo Clinic has purchased a portion of the
property zoned R-2.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, suggested deleting six additional conditions to
the GDP (items 13-18); staff had no objection to removal of the additional
conditions. She noted a memorandum from Phil Wheeler, Planning Department,
giving background on a groundwater recharge study completed and what will be
done in the future to bring some regulations into the land development manual.
The goal was not to discourage development in those areas but to minimize the
impact on the areas.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, asked that condition #2 be amended to read: "At the
time of platting if needed to accommodate the future design of the frontage road
and its potential access to Salem Road, the applicant shall dedicate the additional
right-of-way." Mr. DuMond agreed to the amendment change of condition #2.

9610) "Concrete Curb and Gutter and Overlay in 201h Street N.W. from 131h Avenue
N.W. to Telemark Lane N.W.".
Wishing to be heard was Lyle Solem, 1221 201h Street N.W. Mr. Solem said that he
originally thought the improvement was a good idea. However, in looking at the
project, he found that concrete, rather than asphalt, would only add more cost and
is of no benefit to the property either in selling the home or a tax benefit. A few
years ago a sidewalk was installed in the area; at the same time a concrete slab
was installed in the driveway. If the current project is approved, they will again be
paying for a concrete driveway slab.
Wishing to be heard was Norm Perlenfein, 1220 201h Street N.W. Mr. Perlenfein
said that he has an elevated driveway that will probably have to be replaced if curb
and gutter are installed. He could see no benefit, after living on the property for 35
years, to the curb and gutter project.
Wishing to be heard was Dave Benda, 1006 20th Street N.W. Mr. Benda said that
from the standpoint of the roadway, the project will improve the drainage and
washing from heavy rains. The curbs are gone from the previous project. The
Department of Public Works fixed his driveway this summer because of the
washout; there are several neighbors who have had sidewalk problems as well. He
strongly urged the Council to support the project.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, Councilmembers Senjem moved,
Stobaugh seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 809-00 approving Project No. 6220-4-

Wishing to be heard was Lyle Solem, 1221 20th Street N.W. Mr. Solem urged the
Council to look at the assessment process. His lot is a long lot that he will be
paying $2022.00 for; others will be paying only $1000.00. If his lot was a corner lot,
he would get a benefit.

Terry Adkins, City Attorney, noted that after the November 6th Council meeting
approving the abatement order the Minnesota Court of Appeals rendered a decision
in a similar abatement case and indicated that the City order must contain an option
other than demolition of the structures. The findings have been revised providing
that option as to the precise steps that must be taken to make the property non-
hazardous.

seconded, to adopt the Ordinance as read. Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, explained to the Council that the Ordinance that was
adopted on November 6, 2000, contained a provision which assigned the land to be
annexed to the H (holding) zoning district. The November 6th vote was 4 to 2.
Minnesota law requires zoning ordinances to be adopted by a 2/3rds vote. Since
the November 6th vote failed to achieve a 2/3rds majority, there may be some
question as to the legality of the Council's action. Accordingly, the City Attorney
asked that the Council reconsider its matter of the Proposed Annexation of
Rochester Township including the H Holding Zone and, following reconsideration,
to determine whether the requisite five votes in favor of the annexation are present.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Stobaugh seconded, to reconsider the
Annexation of Rochester Township with the land zoned to the H Holding Zone.

President John Hunziker called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. with the following
members present: Councilmembers Mack Evans, Dennis Hanson, Marcia
Marcoux, Jean McConnell, David Senjem, Walter Stobaugh. Absent: None.
Wishing to be heard was Julie Senska, 5260 Timberidge Court S.E. requesting the
installation of traffic signals on 11th Avenue S.E. at 20th and 24th Streets. She
presented the Council with a petition of 879 signatures, a combined effort of the
Willow Creek and Pinewood PTSAs; 90-95 percent of the residents of the area
signed. She urged the Council to install traffic signals immediately at both
locations. Children cross 111h Avenue at Pinewood Road to reach the bikepath on
the west side of 11th Avenue; 111h Avenue is an extremely busy traffic area and
everyone trying to cross is at risk.
Wishing to be heard was Deb Bullen, a member of the Pinewood PTSA and a
mother of children who attend both Pinewood Elementary and Willow Creek Junior
High. She noted that they are concerned not only with the children crossing 11th
Avenue but for anyone who has to cross without the crossing guard present. Ms.
Bullen noted that they are aware that a signal light is to be installed at 24th Street
but that does not help the children crossing at Pinewood Road. If a light is not
installed at 20th, perhaps the existing bikepath crossing at Pinewood Road should
be looked at as well where it crosses 11th Avenue. She gave the Council an
unedited video of traffic at the corner of 201h Street and 11th Avenue to illustrate the
traffic that travels on 11th Avenue and the difficult in crossing for children and
others.
Wishing to be heard was Terry, a 4th grade student at Pinewood Elementary School
and lives on 18th Avenue S.E. and Pinewood Road. He told the Council that signal
lights are needed at Pinewood Road and 24th Street to allow them to cross the
street and get to school safely and to be able to watch baseball games and other
activities at Willow Creek. He stated that when he goes to Willow Creek in two
years he wants to know that he can cross safely without being scared.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, noted that the department has met with the
respective County and school district staff and members of PTSAs and school
personnel. It is planned to have the traffic signal crossing at 241h Street by
September 1st, 2001. A study has been conducted on the intersection of Pinewood
Road, 20th, and 24th Streets. Over the next three years, it is planned to have
signals at both 24th and 20th Streets. Moving the bikepath to 24th Street would
mean a crossing of a driveway into Willow Creek that is very busy and people don't
tend to stop for the stop sign when exiting the parking lot.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, Evans seconded, to approve the following
consent agenda items:

Development (GDP) Plan #151. The boundary of the GDP is 40`h Street on the
north, 111h Avenue on the West, and the floodway limits on the south which parallels
the Willow Creek. Access to the site is restricted to one connection on 40'h and one

on 11th Avenue N.W. Additional access sites would require several permits from
the Department of Natural Resources to cross Willow Creek, to fill in the floodway,
and variation of the shoreline ordinance. The property to the south of the site is
zoned M-1 and the GDP property is zoned R-2 residential use. Mr. Tointon noted
that the site has some unique circumstances that dictate the designing of the
project. He presented drawings showing how the site would have been designed
prior to the nine conditions being placed on the development plan. The plan
consisted of 104 townhomes, 2 different styles, along a roadway that parallels 40th
Street S.W. A buffer is between the development and 401h Street via a berm and
avoidance of filling of the floodway. Mr. Tointon said that the nine conditions would
have a dramatic effect on the developable portion of the site. In particular,
condition #5 which referred to grading of the site to be compatible with the elevatior
of future 401h Street and 11th Avenue and condition #1 which requires the additional
right-of-way. Mr. Tointon also stated that Mr. Masterpole, from McGhie & Betts, hac
prepared the before map in compliance with the Land Development Manual but it
was not the plan that was submitted to the City. The plan was only prepared to
show how the site would be utilized. In response to a question from the City
Attorney on the before and after maps presented, Mr. Tointon indicated that the
before map was prior to any of the conditions imposed by the City and the after
map indicated the proposed development after the conditions had been placed on
the site.
Wishing to be heard was Franklin Kottschade, 4719 Warwick Lane N.W., owner of
North American Realty, and developer of the property. Mr. Kottschade noted the
projects that North American Realty has been involved in and with during the past
25 years. Mr. Kottschade noted that he is seeking a variance for nine conditions foi
General Development Plan #151 in southwest Rochester. He stated that he
purchased the property in 1992 with the intent of putting a Target Store into the site
Olmsted County was concerned because of the possibility of future road projects.
After the ROCOG study in 1994 a request for zone change was made on the
property to again establish the Target Store. The zone change was denied. Mr.
Kottschade then apprised the Council that 37 various permits and land applications
that have been applied for. He asked when does this end. He said that he is trying
to develop away from TH63. Mr. Kottschade stated that the estimated cost for the
townhouse project of construction is $1,549,204. Costs based on the before
drawing per townhouse would be $22,378; the after drawing the costs elevate to
$89,511 not including land costs, developer overhead, etc. which increases the
price to $500,000-$600,000 range. Mr. Kottschade noted that the market does not
allow for a $500,000 townhome thus he is unable to put his land to a reasonable
use. Mr. Kottschade noted that he is not aware of any other developer who has
experienced the imposing of conditions that he has had put on General
Development Plan #151. Richard Freese, Public Works Director, stated that the
configuration, size and frontage layout of the property determines the developer's
cost for each public improvement requirement. In response to a question from
Councilmember Evans, Mr. Kottschade indicated he could not identify any one
condition which he believed to be unduly burdensome. Instead, the total effect of
all nine conditions was cumulative. Mr. Kottschade stated that the adoption of the

new subdivision regulation ordinance and the use of development agreements had
created problems for all developers and has resulted in an increase in the cost of
housing in Rochester.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, stated that the private roadway right of way is
shown at 50 feet wide. She indicated that she doesn't remember any previous low
density development with a 50 foot private roadway. Ms. Baker stated that there is
a 75 foot distance between the roadway and the 40th Street right of way. She said
that perhaps other styles of townhomes could work better; perhaps setback and
other performance standards could be considered for waiver. Ms. Baker indicated
that when Mr. Kottschade purchased the property in 1992, many of the same
regulations which resulted in these nine conditions were already in place. She
stated that the granting of the variance may be detrimental to the public welfare
because it would not comply with minimum adopted development standards and
requirements of the City which are imposed on all developers
Councilmember expressed a desire to meet with Mr. Kottschade and City staff to
discuss and work out possible compromises for the development.
Councilmembers Evans moved, Stobaugh seconded, to direct the City Attorney to
prepare Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order to be brought back to the
Council for action on January 3, 2001, to support the findings of the Board of
Appeals in denial of the Variance Appeal #00-04 by Franklin Kottschade for
