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.
The following Annual Address was given by President John Hunziker.
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 believe that the year 2002 will be a year of challenges for the City of Rochester
and will possibly be a time of significant changes. I would like to share some
thoughts on five areas that I believe will cause the challenges and the changes.
First and foremost is the DM&E Railroad. The City government will continue to do
what we can to protect the quality of life, pubic safety and economic health of this
City. The DM&E along with the STB is telling all of you that we have to surrender
our quality of life so that they can upgrade a third rate railroad. They propose to
literally divide our neighborhoods and our community so they can make more
money and leave us to bear not only mitigation costs but all of the indirect costs as
well as waiting at crossings 37 times a day and increased noise from 100 car coal
trains thundering through your neighborhoods just a few feet away from hundreds
of your homes.
Such quality of life issues will affect each of us in large and small ways — and they
will also affect our visitors. Rochester's economy is highly dependent on the 1.5
million visitors who come here each year from around the world. Indeed, few cities
in the United States are as dependent on visitor traffic. Time and again, Rochester
has made significant investments to attract and welcome these millions of visitors —
from the Mayo Civic Center expansion to parking ramps to signage around town.
The increased coal trains would jeopardize these, and future, investments.
Take our hospitality industry. Medical, hotel and restaurant businesses in
Rochester generate $2.1 billion annually. Even a small percentage drop in visitors
would have a multi -million dollar annual impact on the area economy.
These indirect costs become very tangible and very expensive when you stop and
truly consider the DM&E's coal train proposal. If, however, the project is approved,
then, in my opinion, the worst place to put this train traffic is through the heart of the
City of Rochester, where its impacts are impossible to adequately mitigate.
We will continue to explore all options to address the significant concerns that this
project poses for Rochester. We recognize that at times this process appears to
be a very uphill battle for our community. However, we have not given up hope and
we remain resolved to do our best to prevent the great harm to Rochester that
would be caused by increased train traffic through the City.

Second, Land Use. The future of this community and the economic health of its
businesses are dependent upon the ability of the city to grow. While this causes
some inevitable conflicts, it is a necessary process. Without new development at
an urban density on city water and sewer services the growth of the City would
stop. We need to ensure that growth by defending the ability of the City to grow.
We hope to resolve any growth issues in a cooperative manner if at all possible.
However, if the growth of the city is threatened by legal or other actions
commenced by adjacent township governments, the city will defend itself vigorously
as we have done in the past.
Third. Downtown Development. The 2001 changes to the property tax system have
had a significant impact on the financial tools available to redevelop our downtown
and to attract new business and industry. The greatest impact is on downtown
redevelopment efforts. Redeveloping our downtown has been a priority for over 30
years. Having a vital and functional downtown is critical to the City's major medical,
hotel and retail employers. The significant reductions in tax increment financing
receipts from new downtown development will make it extremely difficult to
undertake any future downtown redevelopment projects. This is a significant
concern that perhaps only the state legislature can address.
Fourth, the looming State Financial Crisis. Local government has not contributed to
the State of Minnesota financial crisis. However, from statements that have been
made, it appears that local government will be involved in funding a solution. If that
is indeed the case we would caution the State to first, find the most uniform way to
accomplish this, one that is fair to all local governments and second, to consider a
balance of cuts and revenue enhancements to solve the crisis. We are concerned
that if only reductions are utilized it will result in severe cutbacks to schools or local
government services that will cause lasting damage to the future of Cities and the
State. The interest expressed by some to grab local government surplus reserves
will damage the financial health and bond rating of those governments. It will do us
no good to improve the financial picture of the State government by wrecking the
financial health of the cities, counties and schools.
Fifth. Public Safety Concerns. Since the September 111h bombings all of the
citizens of the City have first struggled to understand WHY and are now dealing
with the new safety concerns and the ongoing costs that are involved in protecting
our citizens and our visitors. We have police at the airport everyday, have given up
our new short-term parking lot and are doing simulations of bomb blasts at the
airport, all with no Federal funding. Another part of this public safety concern is the
cutbacks by the State of the Hazardous Materials Team funding. With the DM&E
having the ability to haul hazardous materials through our downtown and our
neighborhoods and the concerns of Bio-Terrorism, it seems to be a poor time to cut
back on Public Safety funding.
Finally, I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the Mayor and council
members for the countless hours, which they spend, tending the affairs of the City.
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.

D-4 The following State of the City address was given by Mayor Charles J. Canfield.
2002 State of the City — Chuck Canfield
If you know where you stand — You can see where to go.
Like most of you I will never forget where I was the morning of September
111h. I was hosting a celebration of our new Exhibition Hall at the Mayo Civic
Center. Our attention was called to the big TV monitor because an airplane had
struck one of the World Trade Center Towers. We watched in horror as another
airplane crashed through the second tower. I asked the crowd to gather together to
pray for the people of New York and Washington D.C. I said that there would be a
time for celebration at a later date but that this was a time to go back to work. The
City would stay open its usual hours and we should return to our usual duties. I
had trouble taking my own advice, I couldn't stay away from the news broadcasts,
wanted to help the people of this city feel secure again but I didn't know how to
begin.
Then, on the news I saw this boy, Andy Mulholland, standing on the 55th
Street Bridge holding an American flag at half-staff.
Wasn't that amazing!
This young man knew instinctively what he could do to encourage all these
people driving down Highway 52 on this terrible day. He honored those who died
and he showed his own fearless confidence in his country. It seemed so natural for
Andy. I thought: If you know where you stand — You can see where to go. By
Andy's example I was able to get back to work again. (Mayor Canfield then
introduced Andy Mulholland to the audience.)
As this Council, City Staff, Planning Department and I lead our Community
in the years ahead I will always remember "Where do I stand" before I look for a
solution. In 2002 1 will focus on four principal issues. (1) The City has expended
significant energy and some city dollars to try to prevent the DM & E coal trains
from coming through Rochester. The dollars we have spent is small when
compared to the estimated annual loss to our economy if the coal trains come
through. Many of our citizens and major employers have characterized the DM & E
project as posing the greatest threat to Rochester since the flood of 1978. 1 agree.
It is my belief that there is no feasible way for this community to accommodate or
mitigate the damages that would be caused to our major employer, Mayo Clinic, or
the damages to the citizens and visitors that need health care, or to the citizens
whose public safety and emergency services would be impaired by increased train
traffic. I know where I stand. We must do whatever it takes to get a plan inplace
that does not tear this city in half. (2) The State of Minnesota and the City have the
opportunity to start the reconstruction of Hwy 52 this June and complete the project
by December of 2007. This project will require significant cooperation between the
MnDOT and the City, resulting in the adoption of an agreement for the project. The
City will work to develop a fair agreement that provides for the best possible project

at an affordable cost to the Rochester citizens. The project cannot proceed if
imposes an unreasonable financial burden on the City. If you know where yol
stand, you can also see where should not go. (3) As plans are made for our nation
Homeland Security the responsibility must fall on our Metro and Regional Cente
Cities. We have the professional Fire Departments, Police, and public work
experts already in place. A new bureaucracy is not necessary. I have talked ti
Mayors at the December National League of Cities meeting and the consensus i
that the Cities are equal to the task. We would expect the State and Feder
governments to understand what is required and support our efforts. (4) We ente
2002 as a city of over 90 thousand people. Rochester is the third largest city ii
Minnesota. Our population increases by about 2% per year which is a healthy ani
manageable growth. We are more accustomed to different ethnicities and culture
than in the past. As we now often work side by side with our new citizens, there an
smoother transitions.
In the last three years we have added one billion two hundred and four
million dollars of new construction including 2145 new homes and 1784 new
apartments.
We are more deeply involved in planned growth and smart, ecologically
sensitive growth then ever before. There are several logical development areas
around our city. One area has been called the Northwest Territory. It will handle
some of our growth in the next fifty years. It will include commercial development
on arterial streets, industry on the nearby highways, places for schools next to
parks, apartments townhouses and individual homes in many price ranges. Peopl(
will be able to walk to work, walk to school and walk to the grocery store. The
transition between land uses will be in the plans to reduce surprises for the
homeowners. The landowners and developers will be invited to help put the plans
together. This neighborhood of the future will be a wonderful place to live. It may
remind many of us of a great time in our past.
If you want to help plan our future call my office for an application. I will
appoint two new members to the Planning and Zoning Commission this winter.
In conclusion: I want to emphasize that it is the people of this city that make
Rochester a special place. You volunteer for activities in your places of worship,
you coach our kids, you help in the schools and serve on city committees. Many of
you are active in our Neighborhood organizations, crime watch areas, and you
make our Community Policing Partnership with our citizens possible. Crime
continues to drop and police officers give me glowing accounts of the help they get
from the neighbors. I see people everyday that are helpful, patriotic and know how
to stand on their principles. I am proud to work with you and work for you.
Thank you very much. I wish you a blessed and Happy New Year.

Discussion.
Councilmember Senjem asked for an explanation of the ranges as proposed and
the adjustments that were made to them.
Linda Gilsrud, Human Resources Director, said that when the outside pay surveys
were reviewed it was found that for this level of position our ranges extended 60
percent rather than 50 percent from minimum to maximum. In answer to a question
from Councilmember McConnell, Ms. Gilsrud explained that pay zone 1 is a part of
the level for the relatively new department head who has little or no experience
dealing with a department head level position. She noted that the consultant was
paid $9700 for his expertise in developing the study which had not previously been
done for 18 years. Ms. Gilsrud said that there are no automatic steps as in other
union scales; the person receives a cost -of -living and, possibly, a merit based on
the 0-5% scale.
Ayes (6), Nays (1). Motion carried. Councilmember McConnell voted nay.
Councilmember McConnell objected to retaining Dunlap and Seeger Law Office
and John Wade as legislative consultants at the rate of $7500 per month each. He
said that he sees no sense of anything approaching community volunteerism in
these rates for work that may not do any good; he thought that perhaps of cost of
one-half the quoted rate would be appropriate.
Councilmember Evans, Hanson and Senjem said that with the upcoming legislative
session issues with DM&E, hotel/motel taxes, and other important issues that it is
vital to have someone adequately represent us.

President Hunziker recognized Boy Scout Troop #186 from St. Francis School in
the audience.
F-1 Councilmember McConnell noted that he would not approve the findings because
he believes that there is a fundamental issue of unfairness; it is too much of a
burden on the homeowner if approved. If the City develops a storm water
ordinance, all people would have to pay for it and not just the developer.
Councilmember Senjem also noted that he would not be voting in favor of the
findings. He did not feel that he could explain to the home owners why they were
responsible for the charges of the pond and other people in the town are not.
Councilmember Senjem said that we should approach storm water as a public
utility rather than an individual charge.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, pointed out that by adopting the Findings document as
to this specific case, the Council was not foreclosed from revisiting the issue of
storm water management.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, Marcoux seconded, to approve the Findings of
Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order for Requested Rescission of a Condition of
Approval in Final Plat for Essex Estates 5th Subdivision. Ayes (7), Nays (2). Motion

Marcoux, Jean McConnell, David Senjem, Walter Stobaugh. Absent: None.
Mr. Daniel Reynertson, 802 Valleyhigh Road, Byron, representing National Pawn of
Rochester, addressed the Council on the proposed pawn ordinance. Mr.
Reynertson said that he and other members of the pawnbroker community were
unaware of the proposed ordinance as put forth by the Rochester Police
Department. He noted that the proposed ordinance would increase the costs for
customers and not regulate the second-hand dealers who function in a similar
manner as pawnbrokers. He said that the program proposed by the Police
Department to trace stolen goods is not as effective and is more costly than other
programs available. He asked that the Council schedule a Committee -of -the Whole
meeting to allow the pawnbroker community to express their views and to consider
alternative systems that might be available to trace stolen items.
Councilmembers asked the City Administrator to schedule the topic on a
Committee -of -the -Whole meeting in the near future.
Councilmember McConnell expressed his displeasure at the recent rate increase
proposed by Charter Communications for the television cable system. Other
Councilmembers also expressed their dissatisfaction and said that they would

Terry Adkins, City Attorney, stated that the City staff efforts over the past four year
to negotiate with the DM&E for a crossing permit for 16th Avenue N.W. goes again.,
everything that the railroad president mentioned last week in the newspaper when
he said the that the railroad always works out with cities crossings. It was quoted
that the president said " I don't understand why there wasn't a real attempt to work
out but we are going to defend it and defend it vigorously". Mr. Adkins noted that
least for four years City staff has been working with the railroad to reach an
agreement.
Councilmember McConnell asked if we lost the monies that we have invested in the
16th Avenue N.W. project to date. Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that
over the past four years DM&E has provided the information that the City needed
including the cost of the permit. They have just recently indicated that they would
be going to litigation to settle the matter. The State allows for the Commissioner of
Transportation to conduct a hearing in the matter. MnDOT has been working with
the City on the 16th Avenue access.
Councilmembers McConnell moved, Stobaugh seconded, to adopt Resolution No.
073-02 authorizing submission of a petition, on behalf of the City, to MnDOT
Commissioner of Transportation requesting that the Commissioner notice and
conduct a hearing and issue an order to determine this matter of the 16th Avenue
N.W. railroad crossing of the DM&E railroad pursuant to State Statute and
Minnesota Rules. Discussion.
Councilmember Senjem asked if MnDOT would be drawn into a partnership with
the City and maybe even a lawsuit. Terry Adkins said that if MnDOT grants the
permit, such a scenario would be possible.
Ayes (6), Nays (0). Motion carried.
Gary Neumann, Assistant City Administrator, suggested two changes in the
suggested priorities for the TH 52 Parkway. He suggested that item no. 7 (2"
Retaining Wall Treatment) and item no. 8 (Perimeter Fencing) be reversed. He
said that given the cost constraints on the project it would be easier to include the
perimeter fencing rather than the retaining wall treatment. Mr. Neumann also
recommended that no action be taken on requested action item no. 6 because at
this time the City is still in negotiations as to what are the City's obligations and
what items will be paid for.

to the implementation of the recommended landscape elements of the TH 52

said that he is concerned about where the monies will be found to fund the
maintenance fund for the aesthetic projects.
Ayes (5), Nays (1). Motion carried. Councilmember Evans voted nay.
A Hearing on Zoning of 55th Street Estates Subdivision — Special District and R-1.
Wishing to be heard was Marla Berg, 5900 Manor Court N.W. She noted that the
neighborhood agrees with the staff recommendations for the project. One of the
concerns that she did express was "R-1 creep"; i.e., that one or more lots are R-1
and the remaining lots in the special district. At some point in the future special
district lots could request R-1. The neighbors are not in favor of the "creep" zoning
aspect. In the special district, there could be a one-time lot split if someone
desired. She said that the neighbors were in approval with the Holden and
Theobald properties being zoned R-1 as they bordered R-1 property.
Wishing to be heard was DeLaine Holden, 5908 Chateau Drive. Mr. Holden said
he would like his property rezoned as R-1; it borders the North Park Subdivision.
He also stated that all persons should be able to choose how they wanted their
individual properties zoned.
Wishing to be heard was Isabel Theobald, 3416 Villa Road N.W. She noted that at
the Planning and Zoning meeting, it was agreed that the Holden and Theobald
properties would remain at R-1.
Wishing to be heard was Ron Amdahl, 5808 Manor Court N.W. Mr. Amdahl
requested that his lot be R-1 designation because of the unusual nature of the
configuration of the lot. He noted that he is bordered on three sides of this property
by roads. Mr. Amdahl would like to retain the corner of the property where his
house sits and the opposite corner where a woodshop has been constructed. His
plan would be to divide the remaining lot into two additional lots to sell. He asked
that approval be given because just one additional lot would not pay for the cost of
the city utilities that may be added to his property at a future date.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, noted that Mr. Amdahl, if he signs an
agreement under the Water Quality Program, would never pay more than $25,000
for utilities around his entire lot regardless of the front footage of the lot. If the lot is

split, the new owner would pay additional monies under the program but Mr.
Amdahl would not be responsible for those charges.
Wishing to be heard was Bob Ronningen, 5617 Villa Road N.W. Mr. Ronningen
noted that he bought his property 15 years ago to have a large lot. He said that he
could live with one split permitted under the special district designation but, with the
exception of the Holden and Theobald properties as R-1, he did not want the
possibility of a R-1 domino effect.
Wishing to be heard was Don Koster, 5810 Manor Court N.W. Mr. Koster said that
the idea of the special district was not about money but about preserving the
neighborhood. He said that his family moved to the area to have a large lot with
minimal and slow traffic to allow for the safety of his family. He also noted that 21
out of 25 persons chose the special district.
Wishing to be heard was Linda Fess, 5809 Chateau Road N.W. She noted
agreement with the last two speakers saying that they wished to remain as large
lots.
Wishing to be heard was Darold Baumgard, 6000 Countryview Court N.W., wanting
to maintain the current large lots in the special district.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Don Amdahl, 5808 Manor Court N.W., told the Council again that he would not be
able to survive if he was allowed only one lot to be split from his property and asked
that they make his property R-1.
Mr. Freese again noted to Mr. Amdahl that the maximum that he would pay for
utilities to his entire property would be $25,000. This applies to all existing, not
new, lots. This same criteria would apply to all homeowners in the special district.
It was also pointed out that because a few of the lots are sloped, those owners
probably could not split their property at all.
Councilmembers Senjem moved, McConnell seconded, to approve the 551h Street
Estates Special District with the staff recommendations and instructed the City
Attorney to prepare the required ordinance for adoption. Ayes (6), Nays (0).
Motion carried.

A Hearing on General Development Plan #169 by RC Properties on property
located west of St. Bridge Road S.E., east of TH 63 and south of the future 481h
Street S.E.
Wishing to be heard was Bill Anderson, Yaggy-Colby Associates, representing the
developer. He noted agreement with the conditions but asked to make comments
on item #7 on the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). He said that the
adjacent property to the north will be commercial both having an EAW requirement.
The project bringing sewer to the discussed parcel will be required to have an EAW
as well because of the capacity of the sewer. Since the parcel in discussion will
have its own access from St. Bridget's Road, the developers do not believe another
EAW is warranted. They are asking that the condition be waived.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, said that an EAW will be required under State
rules. She said that the GDP would be viewed as a connection action that would
require an EAW to be completed. Ms. Baker said that when an overall
development area is taken as a plan for development and then separate them into
separate general development plans that cannot be a means for bypassing an
EAW.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, suggested that condition #7 be amended by adding the
words"unless the Environmental Quality Board indicates in writing that an EAW is
not required for this property". Bill Anderson from Yaggy-Colby Associates said
that an amendment would be acceptable.
Wishing to be heard was Ken Boyer, 5300 TH63 South. Mr. Boyer said that he
owns property adjoining the highway to the south. The property owners of the
development have discussed moving the roadway coming into his property to the
east which would make it very difficult to get to his house because of a deep ravine.
He asked if the proposed north/south road is to be extended. To move his

driveway to the east would required approximately $25,000 to build a roadway
take down a barn and shed.
Bill Anderson, Yaggy-Colby Associates, said that the proposed road was to provid
access to the property to the east as well as the north and allow for future
construction and development.
It was noted that Mr. Boyer will need to be granted access and compensation for
loss of access by TH63 at the time of reconstruction of the TH63 project.
Wishing to be heard was Rick Lane, owner of Cycle City next to TH63. He noted
his entrance was to the south along the frontage road. The proposed north -south
roadway would come out close to his property.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmember Hanson moved, McConnell seconded, to approve General
Development Plan #169 by RC Properties with seven conditions and with the

A Hearing on Zoning District Amendment #01-19 by Freedom Development and
Consulting, LLC to zone land from the H district to the R-2 district located east of
40th Avenue S.E., south of Highway 14 East.
Wishing to be heard was Dave Bell, Freedom Development and Consulting. Mr.
Bell's comments concerned Item E-8 as well. He noted that in meeting with
MnDOT, no second access to the north onto Highway 14 East will be permitted by
the Cocker property. MnDOT will be doing away with the secondary road that now
exists in the future; it is also where the roadway goes down from four lanes to two
lanes and the traffic becomes greater. Mr. Bell asked about condition #4
concerning 1200 car trips. The entire 40-subdivision has 1410 car trips maximum.
Without the second exit they will be short on the car trips. In the future, an exit will
be to the east. A cul-de-sac will be near the Ganske and Smith properties but the
road could be extended to the south for extended development. The stormwater
runoff has been a concern. The intent has been to do a regional pond for drainage.
Water running from this subdivision flows into the township properties; i.e., liability
concerns.
Wishing to be heard was Mary Sawyer, Rochester. Mr. Sawyer is currently
purchasing property north of Ridgeview Estates. He asked if access can be gained
through this subdivision since MnDOT will probably not grant direct access to
Highway 14 East. He was asked to meet with Public Works and Planning Staff to
further clarification on this point.
Wishing to be heard was Connie Smith, 4214 Eastwood Road S.E. She was
concerned with the water retention and drainage question. She noted that they are
the lowest point. Ms. Smith also asked for a more definite date on the development
of Eastwood Road; she was concerned with the school buses coming down the
road with ice and snow present.
Wishing to be heard was Jim Baier, 2620 Brookwood Court S.E., Eyota. Mr. Baier
is the newest member of the Marion Township Board. He said that his purpose of

agreement with the recommended conditions.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

A Hearing on Preliminary Plat #01-52 by Payne Company to be known as Century
Hills Sixth located east of Century Hills Drive N.E., south of 21st Street N.E. and
north of Oakview Drive N.E. and approval of a Design Modification.
Wishing to be heard was Bill Anderson, Yaggy-Colby Associates. He noted
agreement with the conditions. He said that condition #1 B would be eliminated if
the Design Modification is approved because it is the mid -block connection. In
answer to a question about the condition of the haul road, Mr. Anderson said that it
is gravel now and would stay that way because the property on one side of the roac
is not Payne property. If the property is sold, the water line could proceed; a
sanitary sewer line would need to be adjusted before the road can be built.
The Council expressed concern is that the road is not maintained in any type of
travelable condition.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the neighbors were under the
impression that the haul road would be developed rather than a temporary road. It
was provided to meet the intent of the ordinance as a secondary access primarily
for the convenience of the property owners to the north so that all the construction
traffic would use it instead of the subdivision road. Mr. Freese suggested that
perhaps the Council revise the conditions to improve the purpose of the road and
make it a condition of the approval of the preliminary plat.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

Wishing to be heard was David Berwick, 905 Scenario Lane S.W. Mr. Berwick
said that the building housing Waste Management was completed prior to the
permits being issued. He also said that waste was hauled into the facility prior to
completion. Mr. Berwick said that the facility is unslightly in a residential
neighborhood; wind-blown garbage is backed up along the fence. Mr. Berwick also
indicated that the drainage from the facility will be going onto 11th Avenue. He also
mentioned that trucks were driving north on 11th Avenue which was prohibited.
Wishing to be heard was Pete Schuller, Consultant for Waste Management, 209
Lakewood Drive S.E. Mr. Schuller said that the building that was constructed was
for recycling only; it is now to convert to a transfer station. Fencing and
landscaping are part of the conditions for the project and 11th Avenue is to be up-
graded from a seven -ton to a nine -tone road; the intersection on Co. Rd 16 and 11
Avenue will be changed. The owner is agreeable to the conditions and the
city/owner contract.
Wishing to be heard was Troy Healey, District Manager for Waste Management.
They currently have a contract with the Olmsted County incinerator to deliver all
waste to their incinerator. However, 31 percent of the time the trucks have to go to
the landfill because the incinerator cannot handle all of the waste. When faced with
going to the landfill, they bring the waste to the transfer station, compact it into one
of the large heavy-duty trucks and take to the landfill. The recycling material is
removed and does not have to be transported to the landfill; 300 tons of garbage is
processed per month. The fence surrounding the property will be ten feet in height
and not able to be seen through. All garbage will be within the building; no tires will
be accepted; appliances will be accepted. Mr. Healey said that a 480-foot long turn
lane into the property is a problem but was agreed to with staff.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works, said that the turn lane of 480 feet is based on MnDOT
standards.

Richard Freese, Public Works Director, noted that as a part of the owner agreement
Waste Management has agreed to use LC Drive to go to and from the site. The
city will close the intersection of 11th and 16th and construct a cul-de-sac so that all
traffic will have to go on 111h Avenue to LC Drive and pass the Mayo Incinerator to
Co. Rd 16.
Wishing to be heard was David Berwick, 905 Scenario Lane S.W. He was
concerned that LC Drive would not be wide enough to allow for the waste
management trucks and local traffic. Mr. Freese, Public Works Director, stated that
the intersection would be a "T" with plans to make an "S" curve in the future. Mr.
Berwick suggested that for all concerned, perhaps the speed limit should be
reduced. It was noted that after the change of the intersection occurs, the City can
ask MnDOT to change the speed limit.
Wishing to be heard was Don Arduser, 6303 Pebble Lane S.W. Mr. Arduser was
concerned about the possibility of odor. He said that the trash in the fence has
been there for some time; he asked if the problem was going to be kept cleared.
Wishing to be heard was Ernie Moeller, 910 Scenario Lane S.W., asking that Waste
Management paint their establishment. He noted that the existing fence is leaning
in places and that the trucks cause a lot of mud on the road. Mr. Moeller wanted to
know if landscaping would be completed for the project.
Wishing to be heard was Troy Healey, District Manager for Waste Management.
He noted that the development agreement will include landscaping, paving, and
replacement of the fencing.
Wishing to be heard was Pete Schuller, Consultant for Waste Management, 209
Lakewood Drive S.E. Mr. Schuller also noted that the previous facility was for
recycling only. New requirements for the transfer station include landscaping on
three sides, the parking lot will need to be a dust -free surface, and the water
retainage will be on site, treated and dumped into the storm sewer.
Brent Svenby, Planning Department, noted that the applicant has asked for waiver
from the final plan phase. He said that the application can't continue without MPCA
approval of the project. They also have to adhere to all conditions outlined in the
development agreement.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

A Hearing on Zoning District Amendment #01-20 by Gary Hayden to rezone from
the H and I districts to R-2 and R-1 districts on property located south of College
View Road, north of Highway 14 East and east and north of the Sunnydale
Subdivisions and east of East Ridge Subdivision.
Wishing to be heard was Bill Tointon, McGhie & Betts, representing the applicant.
He noted that the entire project is about 103 acres lying easterly of the Sunnydale
Subdivision. Mr. Tointon said that the R-1 district, consisting of about 26 acres, will
abut the present Sunnydale Subdivision and contain single-family homes. The R-2
district will lie to the east of the R-1 and contain townhomes lying on lots, rather than
envelopes.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, Senjem seconded, to approve Zoning District
Amendment #01-20 by Gary Hayden and instructed the City Attorney to prepare the

A Hearing on General Development Plan #174 by Gary Hayden to be known as
Stonebrooke located south of College View Road, north of Highway 14 East and
east and north of the Sunnydale Subdivisions and east of East Ridge Subdivision.
Wishing to be heard was Bill Tointon, McGhie & Betts, representing the applicant.
He noted that condition #1 can be eliminated as per Brent Svenby's
recommendation. Corrections were made to the plan and resubmitted to Planning
as required. The Plan will be accomplished in five phases of development, several
land uses are mixed, 10 acres of private open space and over 6 acres of wild land
replacement linked to the DNR property. Stormwater management will be provided
on almost four acres and a trail system will be throughout the Plan. Mr. Tointon
stated that an association will be formed to maintain the green space with the
remaining becoming public parkland. A small commercial area is being proposed
next to the Midwest Wireless Tower for some future date.
Wishing to be heard was Ronald Felt, 3714 Sheffield Lane S.E. He asked about
the access from the Sunnydale Subdivision to the parkland; it was pointed out to
him. Mr. Felt said that the residents of Sunnydale have several concerns; i.e., curb
and gutter, widening of the roads and the surface water problem. He asked for
clarification that any stormwater can be pumped off into the storm sewer. Richard
Freese, Public Works Director, confirmed that individual groundwater sumps can be
pumped into the City's storm sewer. Mr. Felt said that the majority of the people in
Sunnydale Subdivision want curb and gutter; he would be circulating a petition for
an improvement project. Mr. Felt then inquired about the improvement of the
street. He said that Strathmore Lane is too narrow at present.
Having no one further wishing to be head, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Senjem moved, Stobaugh seconded, to approve General

condition #1 and approving with the remaining nine conditions. Ayes (6), Nays (0).
Motion carried.
A Hearing on Zoning District Amendment #01-14 by Rodney Younge and Platinum
Development Group to change the zoning district from R-1 to RAX on property
located south of 3rd Street SW, west of 21 st Avenue SW and east of 23rd Avenue
SW.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby, representing the developer
and property owner. The application was returned to the Planning Committee due
to an existing street being too small for the traffic. The street was found to be a 28
feet rather than 24 feet and can handle the traffic which satisfies the concerns. The
City is currently working on a regional pond which should address all the
stormwater issues in the neighborhood. The traffic issue of concern is that there is
no sidewalk along the 28-foot road; pedestrians will need to walking on the street.
The neighbors can petition to Public Works for the feasibility of a sidewalk.
Wishing to be heard was Lowell Parsons, 301 21stAvenue S.W. Mr. Parsons saidl
that they keep talking about the stormwater and what they are going to do about it.
At one time it was proposed to be brought down a vacated alley back of 21 St
Avenue; he indicated that for every resident on that street, the alley is higher than
the property below. He asked about the logistics of bringing the water down the
alley.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said it was his understanding that the
applicant has committed that the stormwater will flow to the south to the regional
stormwater pond. However, Public Works has not received the drainage or grading
plan as yet.
Wishing to be heard was Dee Tweed, 420 21st Avenue S.W. She said that the
traffic issue that needs to be considered is the 21 st Avenue grade from Third Street
to Fifth Street which is steeper than Northern Heights Drive. Because the street is,
only 28 feet wide, there is going to be additional traffic from this subdivision and
others to the south. She asked if a traffic choker at the top of the hill, allowing
traffic to come up 21 st Avenue but not down from 51h and other streets; they would
be required to go out Hill Avenue. Ms. Tweed said that she is excited about the
townhomes but she and the neighbors are concerned as to the traffic.
Wishing to be heard was Butch Scherer, 312 215t Avenue S.W. His concerns were
also for the traffic and opening up the cul-de-sac. He noted that a few winters
caused the sand truck to back up the hill to apply sand. If double or triple the
amount of traffic is coming down the hill, what is going to happen. He also asked
what would happen when the road is eroded and the sewer damaged due to
construction traffic; who is going to pay for it.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said the extension of 21" Avenue and the
local east -west street connecting to this development are part of a different plat that
has already been approved and not a part of the current application. The damage
to public property is covered by the bond related to the owner contract for a project.

Wishing to be heard was Jose Miller, 314 215t Avenue S.W. Mr. Miller said that it
was his understanding the cul-de-sac was to stay closed. He said that a number of
young children are present in the area; is the developer allowing for green space or
parks. Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby, replied that green space is being planned but
will be private.
Wishing to be heard was Andy Seegmiller, 2019 Third Street S.W., with a concern
about traffic. He lives at the bottom of hill. Because of the steepness of the hill, he
asked that anything that can be done to curtail traffic be done.
Wishing to be heard was Christine Stewart, 303 21 st Avenue S.W. Ms. Stewart alsi
emphasized the height of the grade. She said that going up the hill there is no
parking; on the way down there is parking. The right side is very wooded, very
steep and no area to develop sidewalks or curbs. She predicted that Second Stree
will be a speed zone.

Younge and Platinum Development Group to be known as Folwell Ridge
Townhomes located south of 3rd Street SW, west of 215t Avenue SW and east of
23rd Avenue SW.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby, representing the developer
and land owner. He said that in April of 1999 Folwell Ridge was approved showing
an access onto 21 st Avenue; this general development plan does not cover the
property and they cannot change it. Mr. DuMond noted that they are in agreement
with the conditions. He said that the stormwater runoff will be brought back to the
stormwater pond as much as possible. In regard to the pedestrian facility along
Third Street S.W., there is no room for development at the present time but will be
something in the future. He said that the Park Department has determined that
there will be no public green space/parkland. Councilmembers asked the staff to
convey their concerns about the parkland to the Park Department.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

A Hearing on General Development Plan #175 by B&S Development to be known
as Westchester East located south of Somerset Hills Subdivision, east of
Westchester Hills 1st Subdivision and west of the Manor Woods West Development.
Wishing to be heard was Harvey Ratzloff, 4402 Sixth Street N.W., representing the
Bigelow/Schwanke (B/S) Development. He noted that they met with people in the
Westchester Subdivision to the west. They are requesting the name of West Park
rather than Westchester East. He said along the west side of the development the
lots are bigger because of the slope and keep the integrity of the Westchester
Subdivision neighborhood. Mr. Ratzloff noted that condition #1 requires them to
contact the township prior to submittal of preliminary plats; it was submitted on
February 4, 2002. The township is to sign the letter and return for confirmation. He
noted that they were in agreement with the conditions. Mr. Ratzloff stated that the
Planning Commission removed the condition requiring an access to the Nigon
property and to the south. Mr. Nigon has stated that he has no intention of
developing his property at this time. If it was developed, it would be from the east
to the west accessing the present county road.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, stated that the staff concern is that the most
developable piece of the Nigon property should be served by access through the
West Park Subdivision. The sewer may need to be lowered in the West Park
Subdivision but Mr. Freese noted that doing so would serve six to eight lots around
the cul-de-sac. In the future, the Nigon property will need access.
Council asked that the staff look at working with the loss of only one lot in the West
Park Subdivision (Lot 12) for the road access to the south. They suggested that the
condition that was removed be required.
Wishing to be heard was Ralph Beaver, 5303 College Street N.W. Mr. Beaver lives
to the west of the proposed development. He agreed with the development of the
roadway into the Westchester Hills Subdivision; the Second Street access to the
Nigon property would not be an easy task ... very steep. He was concerned about
the one access into the new development which flows to the Country Club Manor
Road; would the traffic volumes become too heavy.
Wishing to be heard was Laura Martin, 5274 Carrington Lane N.W., to the north of
the property in the Somerset Hills Subdivision. Her concerns were on the possible
drainage of runoff from the new development. Harvey Ratzloff stated that there will
be two holding ponds to take care of the drainage. He said that the Cascade
Township officials are asking to look at the drainage study to make sure that the
storm water is contained in the easements.

Ayes (6), Nays (0). Motion carried.
A Hearing on Special District #8 by Barlow Neighborhoods to rezone for roadway
widths and building setbacks that differ from the established regulations in the
Rochester Zoning Ordinance and Land Development Manual.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby Associates, representing
the developer. Mr. DuMond noted that the biggest issue is the traffic that will be
going through Bamberwood. They have been working with McGhie & Betts on the
Munchler property to the south to acquire easements for access. The third access
into Greystone is turning into more of a priority and they are attempting to get a
permanent, if not a temporary, access to alleviate some of the traffic concerns. In
answer to a question from Councilmember Senjem, Mr. DuMond said that the zone
change to a special district would allow more of a mixed use development. There
will be R-1 use for all the boundaries that adjoin R-1 properties. There will be 3000
square foot lots that are permitted under R-1; the only thing that would not be
permitted under R-1 are the lots for the townhome units, known as The Lodge, at
the north end, adjacent to the wetland and closest to Highway 52. This will serve
as a buffer to the single family homes.
Wishing to be heard was Fred Banfield, 1105 Greystone Lane S.W. He was the
originator of the Bamberwood Subdivision concepts with homes near the City of
Rochester in the woods with approximately two acres. He said he views the
Crafthill project as a very highend mobile home project. These will be microscopic
lots. The representatives of the development say that they will be putting 66 units
on 40 acres ... 2/3 of one acre per unit. He said that it is a gross misrepresentation
of the facts. There are 74 family units being put on 15 acres; Bamberwood has onf
unit per two acres. This particular project does not fit into the area. The area cam(
into the City as R-1; it should have been Rsa zoning. He noted that MnDot will be
taking 5 acres for right of way and 10 acres in the middle is a wetland preserve.
The wetland preserve, except for 2.5 acres, will now be converted to living space.
There is an area of woodland preserve which has no status; trees that are there
that are not cut down now. This could be used for small unit development in the
future. This woodland area should be deeded to the City as parkland and never
developed. The project will not increase the property value in Bamberwood and
Greystone. The traffic will be a problem; there is no access to the southeast.
The eastern loop is paved road access that abuts to vacant land. There is a long
line of property running to the east; it looks like an ultimate plan for the property.
This project should be denied and the compromise of the neighborhood should be
accepted.

Wishing to be heard was Kathryn Morse -Kuhlmann, 1429 28th Street S.W. She
appeared on behalf of the Bamberwood residents. One of the alternatives
presented is to deny the petition for a special district and to rezone from R-1 to Rsa
to be compatible with the adjacent neighborhoods. The project would be modified
and a new GDP submitted keeping large homes on large lots. Acreage available
could accommodate 15 homes on approximately two acres per lot. Traffic
generated would not require a secondary access; access would be through
Greystone which has an existing road built to City specifications and secondary
access through Bamberwood.
Wishing to be heard was Jann Sarkaria, 1311 28th Street S.W. He said that he did
not feel that The Lodge concept fits with the surrounding neighborhood. Greystone
is on one acre lots; Bamberwood is on two acre lots. The Plunkett property on the
opposite side of Bamberwood was trying to be rezoned to R-1; he does not know
the status but the size of the lots was a question. Mr. Sarkaria said that the
uniqueness of the neighborhoods in Rochester should be maintained. When
moving to Rochester, the quiet streets, affordable homes and country feel of the
neighborhood is what drew them.
Wishing to be heard was Christine Schultze, 503 Eighth Avenue S.W., representing
the developer. She explained again that the main reason in applying for the special
district was because of the development of The Lodge Townhomes. This piece of
property is different than adjoining properties which are up on the hill and highly
treed. This property is right off Highway 52; more susceptible to noise and more
highly visible to Highway 52. The idea of having a multiple unit right off Highway 52
and closer to the wetland seemed logical. Ms. Schultze clarified the acreage. She
said that it is the total acreage of 40+ acres, MnDot has made a preliminary
proposal for site acquisition which has not been acted upon. The 66 homes
proposed equals about 2/3 of a acre per home. The roads being worked will all
connect to platted roadways. She said that Phil Wheeler, in his comments to the
Planning and Zoning Commission, said that the 2/3 acre per home is comparable to
some of the homes in the surrounding home sites. When Yaggy-Colby looked at
the land and what could be built, they considered about 3.5 acres of wetland and
steep slopes, over 90 homes could have been sited on the property. The applicant
has made strong commitment as to what is a reasonable choice with a reasonable
number of home options.
Councilmember Hanson asked if there are any plans by the developer to do any
further development on the property to the north. Christine Schultze replied that
there are no plans around The Lodge; the area is set as a preserve. Ms. Schultze,
in response to another question by Councilmember Hanson, said that the developer
would be agreeable to put in the development agreement that these lands; i.e.,
wetlands, preserve, etc., would remain undeveloped. Discussions of public
parkland dedication would require more on -going discussion.
Councilmember Stobaugh asked if the property to the east was to be developed.
Christine Schultze said that it was her understanding that the owner of the property
has no intent to develop the very small parcel with a developable hilltop.

Agenda
Item
Wishing to be heard was Walt Hruska, 1615 Greystone Lane S.W. Mr. Hruska
noted that he was one of the developers of Greystone. In developing this area,
what would fit with the existing neighborhood was carefully looked at. Greystone
has a 1.6 acre per lot density. The Crafthill project does not fit with the rest of the
neighborhood. The project, as presented, will bring a lot of traffic into the
Greystone area.
Wishing to be heard was Kathryn Morse -Kuhlmann, 1429 28`h Street S.W., said that
the neighbors are not opposed to the development but in light of the comments,
Rsa zoning is a good alternative. She asked Christine Schultze to again clarify the
acreage per lot for the homes. Ms. Schultze said that there will be 66 homes on
40+ acres; 2/3 of an acre per lot. Fred Banfield, 1105 Greystone Lane S.W. , said it
looks like 15 acres, not 40 acres.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers agreed that the vote on the zone change should not be done until
after discussions on the next agenda item, the General Development Plan.
Councilmembers Senjem moved, McConnell seconded, to table action on Special
District #8 by Barlow Neighborhoods zone change until after discussions on the
General Development Plan #179 to be known as Crafthill. Ayes (6), Nays (0).
Motion carried.
E-2 A Hearing on General Development Plan #179 by Barlow Neighborhoods to be
known as Crafthill located south of Highway 52, east of Bamberwood 1st
Subdivision.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby Associates, representing
the developer. He showed a preliminary map of what MnDot was proposing to
purchase for Highway 52 right-of-way. He said that Councilmember Hanson and
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, have been working on suggested conditions
for the development plan which address concerns that were brought up at the
second meeting with the neighbors. He said that overall the conditions need to be
worked into the development agreement. Mr. DuMond noted that they are in
general agreement with the recommended new conditions as well as the seven
conditions outlined on the Request for Council Action.
Wishing to be heard was Kathryn Morse -Kuhlmann, 1429 281h Street S.W., on
behalf of the Bamberwood residents. She read from a prepared statement that said
that the residents opposition is the proposed access to the development and not to
the development itself. She said that it is their belief that the parameters have not
been given the right concern. She spoke to concerns with traffic impact studies and
determination of right-of-way widths. She asked the Council to deny the Special
District and GDP and change the zoning for the neighborhood from R-1 to Rsa to
be compatible with adjacent neighborhoods. She also asked that any action be
deferred for three to four weeks to allow refinement of the proposal by the
developer, Bamberwood residents and the City.

Wishing to be heard was Joel Kuhlmann, 1429 281h Street S.W. Mr. Kuhlmann
referred to a memorandum from Charlie Reiter, Planning Department, on trip
generation impact. Mr. Reiter's figures show 495 exiting daily trips per day in
Bamberwood alone. Trips coming into Bamberwood from Crafthill would be 630
and Pine Ridge at 235 per day for a total trip generation of 1360 per day through
Bamberwood. The figures do not reflect the Greystone development or future
development of the Munchler and Plunkett properties. Mr. Kuhlmann said that
another consideration should be the proposed access onto the frontage road of
Highway 52. They are understanding that such an access would be feasible
according to MnDot.
Wishing to be heard was Gene Peters, 3015 18th Avenue S.W., representing the
Windsor Well Corporation that platted Greystone. He said that they did expect a
street connection at one point; however, they did not expect the numbers of traffic
generation that are being talked about. Greystone was made as a larger -lot
development because it was compatible with the Bamberwood neighborhood. The
roads were developed as a rural roadway section; 24-foot roadway with two -foot
shoulder and a six-foot pedestrian path. He said that the roads weren't developed
to be used as haul roads. They need to be included in the discussions of roadways
and construction traffic coming through Greystone. The roads were designed as
recommended by the City Public Works Department. Mr. Peters said they are not
in favor of the traffic running through Greystone and the Barlow property
development is too dense and should only be 25 lots.
Wishing to be heard was Bill Tointon, McGhie & Betts. Mr. Tointon worked on the
Greystone Subdivision and is present at the request of the developers of Greystone
to discuss the issue of traffic. The map presented showed the Greystone
development to the southeast of the proposed Crafthill development; the area to the
northeast showed a portion of the Munchler property. The Munchler property has
been worked on since 1978 with different designs. Whipple Lane feeds into the
Munchler property, as requested by the Public Works Department; all roads are
modified local streets. Some anticipated traffic was expected with other
developments but not to handling all of the traffic. The additional planned accesses
to Bamberwood are necessary to handle the traffic. Mr. Tointon urged the Council
to approve multiple accesses to the Crafthill project. Mr. Tointon said that the
average lot size in Greystone is approximately 38,000 to 40,000 square feet; the
Munchler property is proposed to have a density of approximately 2/3 acres per lot.
Wishing to be heard was John Munchler, Edina, Minnesota. He was first involved
with Mills Fleet Farm in 1962 in purchasing the original 120 acres. In the 1980's
water was brought into the area and in the 1990's sewer was extended to the
property. He said he is supportive of the concept of developing the Barlow land;
with the trees nice home sites could be developed. Mr. Munchler related a
development that went in close to his home with increased traffic. He said that the
neighborhood was concerned about the traffic but after the development was
completed, the traffic increase was not noticeable. Mr. Munchler said that they
would do whatever they could to help the development. The Greystone

development was a beautiful, ideal development and the Crafthill development
looked to be an upscale project. He said that he lives in a townhome development
and finds it very desirable.
Wishing to be heard was Jann Sarkaria, 1311 28th Street S.W. Mr. Sarkaria said lit
was a good ideal to have the primary haul road through Greystone; however, it will
be difficult to control pickups and vans traveling through Bamberwood during
construction. A solution would be to delay access to 28th and 30th Streets until a
majority of the construction is done so that the pickups and vans have to go on the
haul road. The second point that Mr. Sarkaria wanted to talk about was the access
to 28th Street, focusing on the intersection of 28th Street and18th Avenue. The
traffic on 18th Avenue travels about 50 miles per hour and the turn is blind going to
the left. The increased traffic at this intersection will be a major problem. The third
item that Mr. Sarkaria addressed was the traffic calming measure; it noted that th'e
costs would be divided as to 25% developer cost and 50% resident costs. Why do
the residents have to pay for traffic calming measures when the increased traffic is
a result of the development?
Wishing to be heard was Robin Patterson, 1507 28th Street S.W. Ms. Patterson's
property is on 18th Avenue. She agreed with Mr. Sarkaria that the 28th Street and
18th Avenue intersection is extremely dangerous and is getting more so now that
Greystone and further developments are included. Turning left is many times a
near miss when turning. The entrance to her property is at the top of the hill and is
very dangerous to negotiate entering and exiting the property. Ms. Patterson has
said that the road is not maintained in the winter to allow persons to get up the hill.
i
Wishing to be heard was James Seward, 2710 Briar Court S.W. Mr. Seward noted
that he has lived in the area for 20 years. The new development is smaller, highly
dense compact area. The development will not add additional value to the homes
currently in the area; prices have already dropped. This project will look dissimilar
next to Bamberwood. He asked the Council to address the points of opposition
from the neighbors.
Wishing to be heard was Matt Kirchbaum, 2702 14th Avenue S.W. He referred to
the annexation process. He said that when the Council looked at the Plunkett
property, a hold was put on it; Plunkett said he was going to do something like the
Greystone project. Council decided to rezone the property to Rsa and wait until'
they saw a plan that would be something consistent with the neighborhood. At that
time the Barlow property was put in R-1 because no one was thinking about the
property. If it is going to connect with Bamberwood, it should be rezoned to Rsa
like the Plunkett property to be consistent.
Wishing to be heard was Christine Schultze, 503 Eighth Avenue S.W., representing
the developer. She said that the project has been looked at carefully and concerns
of the neighbors have been addressed. Ms. Schultze said that in many cases the
answers are not ones that please the neighbors in terms of traffic and in terms of
capacity of the existing roads to handle the traffic but that Public Works and
Planning have gone to a great deal of effort to try to answer the questions. The
memo that was handed out tonight was in response of the Councilmember meeting

criteria for a general development plan 61.215, pages 115-118 of the council
packet, Criteria E "On and Off Site Public Facilities Being Adequate".
Councilmembers summarized their thoughts saying that they thought the
development was good and there were no problems with compatibility, but that
traffic problems were a concern. Compatibility does not mean that everything has
to be the same. They agreed that three to four weeks are needed to come up with
reasonable solutions to the project; i.e., access, traffic, etc.

Wishing to be heard was Ann Scheekloth, 1204 415t Street N.W. She asked if the i

the odor caused by the smokehouse. Ms. Scheekloth said that an operation of this
kind does not belong in a residential neighborhood. i

Councilmembers Senjem moved, Stobaugh seconded, to approve City Initiated
Text Amendments #01-06, #01-14 and #01-15 to amend Sections
62.273/62.274/62.275, Section 62.278 and Section 62.279 of the Rochester Zoning
ordinance and Land Development Manual and instructed the City Attorney to
prepare the required ordinance for adoption. Discussion.
Councilmember Senjem asked if the smokehouse was acceptable if it had not been
permitted. John Harford, Planning Department, noted that the building did have a
permit at the time of construction and was designated for personal use. If the
owner is using the smokehouse as a business, it would be in violation.
Ayes (6), Nays (0). Motion carried.
A Hearing to Consider Local Improvement Project No. M02-03 (J-7201) "Curb,
Gutter and Street Restoration on 2"d Avenue NW from Civic Center Drive to 61h
Street NW and 6th Street NW from 2"d Avenue NW to 1 st Avenue NE".
Wishing to be heard was Phil Henoch, 2012 Southfield Court S.W. Mr. Henoch
said that the feasibility report does not say what the pressure is going to be in the
steam line. The project needs permits from the State before proceeding. The
steam line will be under the railroad tracks. There will be vibration from the coal
trains; how will it be handled from a safety point? What type of signage will indicate
there is a high-pressure steam line?
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, indicated that Rochester Public Utilities
does have the permit for the railroad crossing. The other permits needed from the
State are still pending.
Wishing to be heard was Jeff Boysen, 101 Sixth Street N.W. Mr. Boysen asked if
Sixth Street would be widened. He indicated that after 7:30-8:00 AM Mayo
employees park on 6th and 1 st Streets. Getting in and out of the area during the day
is quite difficult dodging the parked cars and on -coming cars. Mr. Boysen said that
his property has been rezoned to commercial; why should he have to pay for the
street when its going to be a business soon.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that there are no plans to widen the
street. Any parking problems should be addressed to Dave Rossman.
Wishing to be heard was Randy Collins, Collins Feed and Seed Store, 411 Second
Avenue N.W. He is on the dead end street next to the Rochester Ready -Mix on the
south end of the project. He noted agreement with the storm water drainage and
sewer and street condition issues but had concerned with the parkin? lot layout for
his business. His parking lot lines the entire avenue side between 5t Street and the
railroad; the sidewalks and streets go nowhere. Mr. Collins could not see the
rationale to tearing up the sidewalks and the installation of curb and gutter. He said
that a slight rain gutter would be helpful but the remainder should be left as is.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, had previously showed Mr. Collins a portion
of a gutter section with a high back and driveway openings. This evening he met
with Mr. Colllins and assured him that they would construct a gutter section that

would allow use of the entire frontage for access to and from the east side of his
building. He indicated that Mr. Collins would be agreeable to that versus a separate
driveway opening and curb and gutter section.
Wishing to be heard was Phil Henoch. 2012 Southfield Court S.W., asking if all curb
cuts will be maintained as status quo.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, answered that there is no plan to changed
curb cuts; if there are slight modifications that people want, they can talk with the
inspector.
Wishing to be heard was Cecelia Buller, 2915 Mayowood Common Court S.W.,
representing Bishop Management Property at 25 and 29 Sixth Street N.E. She said
that they are against the project and challenge the benefit of the project for the
property. She said that the two issues of the steam line and curb and gutter are
linked. She said that it appears no reason to update the streets other than the
Mayo Foundation wants the steam line put in. Ms. Buller said that the project
should be suspended until the DM&E issue is resolved as far as where the
overpasses will be placed.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that they are working with Rochester
Public Utilities on routing the line and chose a conservative route that would stay
away from any over or underpasses for the railroad. This route would have the
least impact on any possible changes if the DM&E comes through Rochester.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, Hanson seconded, to approve Local
Improvement Project No. M02-03 (J-7201) "Curb, Gutter and Street Restoration on
2n Avenue NW from Civic Center Drive to 6th Street NW and 6th Street NW from 2nd
Avenue NW to 1st Avenue NE".
Councilmember Senjem said that the steam line has been worked on for a year;
what would happen if the permit is not approved by the State, will the street project
still be completed? Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said no, the two need to
be linked. The approval of the project needs to be conditional on both the project
and the assessment as tied to the steam line project.
Councilmembers Stobaugh amended the motion, Hanson seconded, that Project
No. J-7201 is contingent upon the steam line project. Ayes (6), Nays (0). Motion'
carried.

representing Bishop Management Property at 25 and 29 Sixth street N.E. She
asked if the Mayo Foundation will be contributing to the cost of the street

Item
reconstruction project. Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the Mayo
Foundation will be paying for all the utility work, the trenching to the sub -grade; the
City picks up the cost of reconstruction of the street. Ms. Buller said that the curb
and gutter project wouldn't be taking place unless the steam line project was
happening; therefore, why should be taxpayers be asked to pay for a project that is
the Mayo Clinic and the City. The property that is being assessed is a vacant lot
and she questioned the benefit to the property when it is used only for parking.
Gary Neumann, Assistant City Administrator, noted that the street is approximately
45 years old having been built in 1957. Richard Freese said that because the
project has been classified as a street reconstruction rehabilitation project, the cost
is substantially lower than in a reconstruction project.
Wishing to be heard was Randy Collins, Collins Feed and Seed, 411 Second
Avenue N.W. He said that if the project is only being done because of the steam
line, it wasn't needed to begin with. The owner is paying 25 percent, the City 75
percent, what is Mayo paying?
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmember Stobaugh moved, McConnell seconded, to adopt Resolution No.
178-02 approving the Proposed Assessment on Project No. M02-03 (J-7201)

61h Street NW and 6th Street NW from 2"d Avenue NW to Vt Avenue NE" contingent

Councilmember Senjem abstained. Councilmember Stobaugh noted his
relationship to the Mayo Foundation.
H-1 Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, McConnell seconded, to remove from the table
the Parking Regulation Ordinance Amendments.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, Hanson seconded, to approve the amendments
to RCO 134.17, 134.18, 134.19 as presented. Discussion.
Councilmember Senjem asked if the ordinance would only apply in the commercial
business district and not in the residential districts. City Attorney Terry Adkins said
that the portion regarding parking in alleys would mainly apply to the business
district; however, the double parking portion of the ordinance would apply
throughout the City and means that, for example, a moving van in a residential
neighborhood could park on the street but could not double-park on the street.
Dave Rossman, Public Works Department, said that his department will provide
temporary no -parking signs to be placed ahead of time so that a moving van could
use parking at the curb.
Ayes (5), Nays (1). Motion carried. Councilmember Senjem voted nay.

President John Hunziker called the meeting to order at 12:00 P.M. in Room 104 of
the Rochester City Hall with the following members present: Councilmembers
Dennis Hanson, Jean McConnell and Walter Stobaugh. Absent: Mack Evans,
Marcia Marcoux and David Senjem.
City Administrator Steve Kvenvold explained the purpose of the meeting was to
review a Dance Application that was previously approved but after an investigation
turned up numerous concerns and inconsistencies regarding the event.
Wishing to be heard was Police Chief Roger Peterson. Chief Peterson stated the
Graham Arena Management had contacted the department with concerns about'
the dance that had been approved for Saturday, April 6, 2002 . He explained that
the application had stated that this was to be a teen dance for the youth and that
portions of the proceeds were to be donated to the Ronald McDonald House. After
some investigation by the police narcotics division, it was determined that this was
an all night dance open to young adults ages 18 and up. The Ronald McDonald
House was contacted and though an application had been sent, a response was
never received and they stated they have not approved of these dances as official
fundraisers. Chief Peterson reported that through researching the advertisement
for this event on the web and other same venues that this was consistent with a
Rave style dance. Some similarities were: an all night event, internet only
advertisement, out of town soliciting, advertising of "cool down" rooms, lack of
definite location. All these were consistent with a Rave type dance where drugs,
illegal activities and injuries occur. Based on the web site information and the
inconsistencies of what was requested in the application and what is being
advertised, meaning it's an all-night adult dance not a teen dance, that the
application was only for April 6th not the 6th and 7th, and that is was not a charitable
event, Chief Peterson recommended to the Council to revoke the dance application
by William Bump.
Wishing to be heard was Officer Kaase, Narcotics Division, reiterating Chief
Peterson's concerns. He stated through his training and experience in narcotics
and the facts of the investigation have led him to the conclusion that this is a Rave
dance with all it's implications of drug use and other illegal activities.
Wishing to be heard was William Bump, Founder of HYPE Coalition and owner of
Hypnotik Productions. Mr. Bump read a written statement (which is on file). Mr.
Bump stated he didn't mean to mislead or be fraudulent on the application.
Highlights of his statement addressed the issue of the teen dance changing to an
18 and older because of the curfew ordinance. His partner had dropped out of the
event organization for personal reasons and because of that the Ronald McDonald
House application was not submitted in time for the dance. Mr. Bump stated he
had contacted the police department and park department for help with the event.
He said he did not advertise where the dance was to be because he didn't have the
proper insurance until after the advertisement was released.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, Hanson seconded to reconsider Council action
of April 1 st approving license numbers 0002 and 0003 issued to Bill Bump for
dances on April 6th and 20th.2002. Ayes (4), Nays (0). Motion carried.

D-38 A hearing will be required for adoption of the revisions to the Official Street Map No.
12 to be consistent with the TH 63 Final Geometric Layout Plan. The hearing will
be held on May 20, 2002.
D-40 Wishing to be heard was Bill Bump, 6538 West River Road N.W., co-owner of
Hynpotik Productions. Mr. Bump said that the information received by
Councilmembers was compiled with the assistance of the Rochester Police, Fire',
and Park Departments. He then addressed the outstanding issues of: Keeping
illegal substances out of the event, Security inside the event, Medical support, Fire
code and building capacity, Parking and outside security and Limiting the number of
tickets to only 1500 sold. Mr. Bump said that two uniformed officers at the door and
six officers inside the building would provide security for the event. All individuals
will be thoroughly searched prior to entering the building. Inside the building there
would be no areas that were not capable of sight monitoring and individuals in the
crowd would be watched for any suspicious activity. He said that a medical
support team would be on hand to handle any medical problems. The fire and
building codes support approximately 2000 people in the building; however, as
stated earlier, the tickets would be limited to 1500 sold. The Olmsted County
Fairgrounds provides ample parking for any event and security teams would be
roaming the parking lots for any problems.
In answer to a question from Councilmember Marcoux, Mr. Bump stated that
general liability insurance will be provided under his company's name for the event.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, said that in reviewing the insurance coverage he
wanted a Hold Harmless Agreement to cover the City in the event of any problem.
President Hunziker asked Mr. Bump about the drug "Ecstasy" being present at this
type of event, usually referred to as a "RAVE". He asked Mr. Bump how long the
drug could last if someone were to take it before entering the event. Mr. Bump said
it lasts about three hours.
Councilmembers also asked Mr. Bump about the term "Super Skunk 4-20" which
has been known as another name for marijuana and 4-20 as a day for the
legalization of marijuana. Mr. Bump said that "Super Skunk" was just a name of an
event to draw people and did not signify that it would be a drug -oriented party. He
said that 4-20 just happened to be only one of two days that the Park Department
had the Graham Arena open for booking.
Lyle Felsch, Deputy Fire Chief, Rochester Fire Department, noted that he had met
with Mr. Bump and the Police Department on Friday prior to the Council Meeting.
He said that 2000 is a maximum occupancy limit. Mr. Felsch said that three fire
fighters will suffice for a crew on -site for the event. No man-made structures will
be used in the interior of the building limiting the event of fire concerns.
Jim Pittinger, Captain, Rochester Police Department, said that the Police
Department had met with Mr. Bump on two separate occasions. He noted that Mr.
Bump had replied to their concerns; however, they still had some issues that
caused them further concern. One concern was that controlled substances could
be digested before entering the event, without anyone detecting, and other
substances were in a form so small that they could not be detected. The second

concern was the noise issue. The event was billed as 100,000 watts of power and
the Police Department felt that it would be able to be heard in the surrounding
neighborhoods. The third concern was the event running until 4:00 A.M. The
Police Department felt that people leaving at that time would not go somewhere to
sleep but rather want to continue partying and possibly drinking. The final issue
was the commitment from the vendors and medical support and their intent.
Wishing to be heard was David E. Byer, 1449 121h Avenue N.E. Mr. Byer said that
other people in the City are also concerned about the 4-20 date. He said that there
are other forums that talk about the 4-20 date and that this event is not merely a
coincidence. He said other events scheduled on that date which also bear the
designation 4-20 as shown on various websites.
Wishing to be heard was Jennifer Henderson, 1126 Jackson Street, Shakopee.
Ms. Henderson said that 4-20 has been brought up as to how the day reflects on
the significant illegal use of drugs. She noted that she was born on 4-20 and will
turn 21 this year. She said that nothing has been ever put out to the public that 4-
20 was a specific date for narcotics. She said that it should not be grounds for
anyone to place a ruling on the event before the Council. Ms. Henderson said that
RAVES are no more an event where you can see your favorite artist perform in
person. She said she has gone to many across the country and not been involved
in the use of drugs. She asked the Council to have a more open opinion on this
type of event.
Roger Peterson, Chief of Police, said that another issue is whether or not an event
of this type can be put on by someone who is on probation for involvement with
drugs. He noted that they have noted their concerns about what has happened
with events of this nature in other areas and with the arrangements for the 4-20
event. He said that Super Skunk may be the title for a dance but is also the name
for a high-grade of marijuana. 4-20 might be a coincidental date but is also the date
for the proponents of legalization of marijuana. Where the patrons for the event are
going to come from is of concern. This will not be local kids but other people
looking for RAVE events. Drugs can be easily taken well before an event and will
last right through the event. Mr. Bump has indicated that it would not be a
profitable event unless it went through the night. Chief Peterson said that it
becomes problematic for the police department. He said that he felt that Mr. Bump
has met those concerns that he could meet within the framework of what he is
trying to accomplish in putting on an all-night event of this nature. However, he
said that those concerns that are inherent in putting on an all-night event have
been; specifically, the people who would be attending, the inability to regulate
behavior as a result of the nature of the incident and the noise generated from it,
and the hours of the event. From a security standpoint, the event would need to be
run like any others, that there would be some reasonable ending time to insure the
rest of the City that normal crowd dispersal and noise could take place.
Roy Sutherland, Park Department Director, said that the Park Department is in the
rental business and to put on safe events. There are no Park policies that would
prevent the City from having the event. The D & R Pool Tournament goes
throughout the night from Friday at 5:00 P.M. to Sunday at 5:00 P.M. The Park

Department requires that insurance certificates are provided and adequate security
and policing is in effect.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, said that the City Council can consider the obligations
for the safety, comfort, and convenience for others who live in the area as per
Rochester Code of Ordinances Chapter 117. He said that the Council must keep in
mind the adverse secondary effects, if any. It is not the content but the effects that
might happen if you allow the event to occur or not occur and how to curtail hours
of operation. Conditions can be made as to hours of operation or arrangements,
that still need to be made. He again stated that the promoter should include on the
insurance policy that the. City is made an additional insured no later than 48 hours
prior to the start of the event.
Councilmembers McConnell moved, Evans seconded, to deny the permit to Bill
Bump for a single dance permit at the Graham Arena West on April 20 and 21,
2002. Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.
A Hearing on Type III, Phase II Incentive Development #01-34 Preliminary Plan by
Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. located along the north side of West Center Street
and along the east side of 51h Avenue NW.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Jasmin, HGA Architects, representing the developer,
Sunstone Hotel Investors. He felt that the issues that staff had have been resolved.
They have met with all concerned departments and parties. They are asking for a
parking variance and have the incentive development plan. The first proposal was
for 28 parking stalls under the building with other provisions for parking. A revised
parking plan has been put together which allows the dedicated parking spaces for
the project and include provisions for freeing up additional parking in the facility,
providing park -and -ride, transit passes and utilizing other parking facilities that they
have in the downtown and surrounding areas. At this time the developer is asking
for a variance from the 80 parking spaces required to 60 spaces. Mr. Jasmin said
that the new Incentive Development Plan shows the floor area ratio as 1.5; they 'are
proposing a project with a floor ratio of 3.9. A number of items have been listed to
accomplish that: below grade parking, 85 percent of the sidewalks have been
canopied, snow melt systems for the sidewalks will be provided, landscaping and
plaza area on 24 percent of the area of the site, working with Public Works on the
alignment of the drop-off area and service bay. They are also intending to connect
the project to the Mayo subway when Mayo has such plans in place. The extension
of the subway has been shown in the Mayo five-year plan.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, said that it would be hard to police as far as
parking and other concerns with the development. A new owner would have to
notify the Planning Department when they take over.
Wishing to be heard was Bill DeLacruz, 503 Second Street N.W. Mr. DeLacruz
said that he lives close to the development and has seen the deterioration of
parking in the area for the past 30 years. He said that permit parking was
established about two years ago but doesn't work. No one is patrolling the area.
The Mayo Clinic provides free parking at the edge of town but their employees still

park in this area. He suggested that if the developer wants to make money, they
should build a parking lot instead of hotel in this area. There is no parking
downtown. If you are going to grant a variance for 60 parking spaces to this
developer, you should just change the ordinance and allow it for everyone. The
original requirement was established for a reason and should be followed.
Wishing to be heard was Stephanie Kyland, 904 First Street N.W. She said that
her back yard backs up to a very large parking lot. When the builders of the
parking lot requested a variance to grade the buffer zone between the parking lot
and the properties, the property owners agreed. As the project progressed, many
problems surfaced. She asked the Council to keep in mind that rules are there for
a reason and that the Kutzky Park neighborhood has a very large parking problem
due to the development of the downtown area.
Wishing to be heard was Glen Faith, 1004 First Street N.W. He said that he has no
objections to the project but the ordinance talks about one stall per room. He is a
member of the Kutzky Park Association; the area is residential. If a residential
neighborhood is going to exist, it must be taken care of. It doesn't need any more
parking spillover into the streets. Most of the residents don't have access to their
own property frontage; they are everyone's parking lot. If the hotel is built and
"shave" the ordinance, where are people going to park, where are the employees
going to park. Many off -site parking lots can be provided, but people will park in the
neighborhood. He asked that the Council uphold the ordinance of one stall per
room.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, noted that most of the testimony that he being
taken relates more to Item E-2, the variance denial.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Jasmin, HGA Architects, representing the developer,
Sunstone Hotel Investors. He said that the hotel projects that they have been
involved with have shown documented parking space demand in the range of 40-50
percent on a regular basis. The Sunstone facilities downtown are in the same
range.
Wishing to be heard was Bill DeLacruz, 503 Second Street N.W. He said that there
are no set standards as to the amount of parking required when a hotel is built.
When the Fiksdal Hotel was built, the City made them adhere to the ordinance.
When variances are granted, a domino effect is felt in the neighborhood.
Wishing to be heard was Glen Faith, 1004 First Street N.W. He said that the
neighborhood is more concerned about employee parking rather than hotel resident
parking. Perhaps the ordinance needs to be amended to take employee parking
into account as well.
Wishing to be heard was Frank Heavlin, Sunstone Hotel Investors. There will be
approximately 50 employees at the new hotel. Many of the employees will be
individuals who take public transportation, don't own cars and would not be able to
pay for parking.

Wishing to be heard was Bill DeLacruz, 503 Second Street N.W. Mr. DeLacruz
also asked the Council to consider that when a building is under construction, the
construction workers are also parking in the neighborhoods.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Evans moved, Hanson seconded, to table Incentive Development
#01-34 Preliminary Plan by Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. until the Variance Denial
(Item E-2) is dealt with. Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.
A Hearing on Type III, Phase I, Appeal #02-01 of the Rochester City Planning and
Zoning Commission denial to provide only 28 of the required 80 parking spaces for
the proposed Incentive Development #01-34 by Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.
located along the north side of West Center Street and along the east side of 5`h
Avenue NW.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Jasmin, HGA Architects, representing the developer,
Sunstone Hotel Investors. He said that the hotel is a 78-room extended stay
property. Many Clinic patients spend 1-4 months at a time in Rochester and usually
don't bring their cars. These people have been here before and know what the
parking situation is. Mr. Jasmin said that they expect a very low ratio of occupancy
in the parking lot. The hotel is financially designed to operate at 70 percent
occupancy which means that six months of the year they will run about 30-40
percent. The 60 parking spaces should cover any demand.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, said that the findings for the variance denial are found
on pages 152 and 153 of the Request for Council Action. The Planning
Commission said that there were no extraordinary conditions that would apply to
this property that do not apply generally to other properties the area. The
Commission suggested that the site plan could be redesigned to accommodate the
needed parking spaces.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Jasmin, HGA Architects, representing the developer,
Sunstone Hotel Investors. Mr. Jasmin said that the property is sitting on bedrock.
The underground parking that is planned will be difficult and to go further
underground in the bedrock would be costly. Parking stalls could cost as much as
$25,000 for each stall going into the rock; lower would be prohibitive. The space for
the hotel is small and to be profitable, the hotel needs to get to a critical mass. To
build a small hotel with more parking, the footprint of the project would not work.
The space is currently used for surface management parking.
Wishing to be heard was Glen Faith, 1004 First Street N.W. Mr. Faith asked if the
shuffling of allocation of lots by an owner of more than one property satisfy the
ordinance? President Hunziker said that if the parking falls within a 600 foot radius,
it has been acceptable. Mr. Faith then asked the owners to consider building the
hotel on a parking lot that would be one level underground and one level above
ground and then the hotel on top of that. Mark Jasmin, HGA Architects, said that'it
was the first plan that was considered but because the footprint is so small, it would
not be feasible.

Councilmembers Evans moved, McConnell seconded, to instruct the City Attorney
to prepare Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order which would reverse the
Planning Commission denial and would grant the variance to be brought back to the
May 6, 2002, meeting. Discussion.
Councilmembers Marcoux and Stobaugh noted that they would be voting against
the motion saying that they were against the variance because of the parking
problems, lack of enforcement, the shuffling from other lots, and the inability to
police the situation should the facility be sold.
Ayes (5), Nays (2). Motion carried. Councilmembers Marcoux and Stobaugh voted
nay.
A Hearing on General Development Plan #180 by Jerry Nelson to be known as
Prairie Crossing located along the east side of TH52, north of 65th Street NW and
Overland Drive NW and west of Bandel Hills Subdivision.
Wishing to be heard was Andy Masterpole, McGhie & Betts, representing the
developer. Mr. Masterpole said that in June approximately 236 acres of land was
annexed to the City of Rochester located on the east and west side of Highway 52.
The GDP #180 is proposed to be located on the east side of the highway. The
challenges were access, the sewer issue and trees. The GDP proposes a town
square of small shops and convenience stores with surrounding single-family
homes, townhomes and larger lot homes. This type of development is a current
trend that addresses smart growth. Mr. Masterpole said that they would prefer not
to have to pay parkland dedication fees. They propose to dedicate 1.25 acres in
the town square and 9 acres of oak trees as parkland. A forester was hired to
survey approximately 1200 oak trees to determine if they were salvageable. The
oak trees and parkland are to be an integral part of the development. He said there
are open spaces above and beyond the parkland requirements that they would like
some flexibility on; all are considered private. Mr. Masterpole noted that they do not
think that they should be responsible for any of the costs associated with the access
public road between Prairie Crossing and 68th Street N.W. as it is outside the
development.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, said that the connection is a desired
connection at 681h Street to connect the Prairie Crossing development and the
suburban development in that area. He said that there is documentation that when
the suburban development was proposed, the developer was obligated to construct
a roadway. It is a right of way easement platted on top of an existing lot. He said
that the Public Works Department concurs that Condition #6 could be removed at
this time.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, asked if Criteria D, General Development Plan, would
be satisfied with respect to Bandel Road, 65th Street and sewer lines are these
capital improvements included in the City's Capital Improvement Program. Mr.
Masterpole said that he assumed that Bandel Road reconstruction would occur

this year. Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the southern portion of
Bandel Road will be constructed either this or next year but not the northern portion
Terry Adkins then asked if Criteria E, Number 4, General Development Plan would
be satisfied, if utilities are not now available to directly serve the area of the
proposed land use? If needed utilities will not be available concurrent with the
proposed development, the applicant shall stipulate that no development will occur
and no further development permit will be issued until concurrency has been
evidenced. Mr. Adkins asked Mr. Masterpole if he or the applicant would have an
objection if the aforementioned language was included as part of a new Condition
#3? Mr. Masterpole said no. Mr. Adkins said that language would then read:
"Because on and off -site public facilities are inadequate, the development must be
phased in the manner consistent with the City's planned infrastructure
improvements. Specifically, there are no plans for sanitary sewer to serve the
property within the first three years of the City's current six -year capital
improvement program. Additionally, there are no plans to reconstruct 65th Street or
Bandel Road to handle additional traffic. As such, no development will occur and
no further development permit will be issued until the Council determines public
facilities are adequate to accommodate this development."
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that a feasibility report is ready for the
applicant to review. In order to get sanitary sewer to the property, four other
properties will need to be crossed. This area will be served in the future by
trunkmain sewers that have yet to be constructed. As an interim measure, the
applicant is willing to install a private lift station and pump the sewage back to the
south into a public sewer system constructed to serve other property.
Councilmember Hanson asked where the cash -in -lieu of parkland will go. Denny
Stotz, Park Department, said the cash goes into a fund for neighborhood parks to
be spent only in the City in the northwest area. Mr. Stotz said that the developer
wants to keep the oak trees of nine acres but only for the development's private
use. Therefore, it could not be used for parkland dedication; only the 1.25 acres) of
town square as it would be available for public use.
Wishing to be heard was Jerry Nelson, Developer of Prairie Crossing. He said he
would need to be assured that the woods would remain natural with walking paths
and never cleared. He had an opportunity to sell the trees for lumber but decided tc
keep it in its natural state. He said that the Homeowner's Association would want a
say as to whether the trees would be cleared or not.
Denny Stotz, Park Department, said that the Park Department would work in
cooperation with the Association but that the Park Department would manage the
oak tree stand as it would any other park in the City system. It would be maintain
as a natural parkland.
Wishing to be heard was Bill Bruins, 1538 11th Avenue N.E., representing the
Audubon Society. He said that they are in support of keeping the trees for passive
recreation and places to enjoy birds and wildlife.

Wishing to be heard was Mike Schlasner, 7 Viking Village Lane N.W., on behalf of
the Zumbro Land Conservancy Board. Mr. Schlasner said that his organization
supports the idea of a natural woodland park to help preserve natural areas. He
asked the City to reevaluate the parkland dedication ordinance that 50 percent or
more of the dedicated land be flat play area. He said that more opportunity should
be given for future generations to have the opportunity to hike through woods,
examine frogs or watch the Monarchs feeding.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Evans seconded, to approve General

Department.

Bandel Hills Subdivision.
Wishing to be heard was Andy Masterpole, McGhie & Betts, representing the
developer. Terry Adkins, City Attorney, asked Mr. Masterpole about the suggested
language to the parkland dedication ordinance that he proposed. Mr. Adkins said
that the Council agreed that the 9-acre neighborhood park with the treed area plus
the 1.25 acres of town square would be sufficient to constitute parkland dedication;
in light of that decision, would it be appropriate to adopt the language Mr.
Masterpole drafted for special district ordinance. Mr. Adkins noted that it gives the
rationale why this is a unique area. Mr. Masterpole answered, yes, but taking out
the sentence that "a neighborhood park would be graded so that a level....".
Councilmembers were with the understanding that no tot -lot and no natural trails
were included in the motion in Item E-3.
Phil Wheeler, Planning Department, said woodland as defined in Quarry Hill Natural
Center includes trails as well as forest management, prairie management, and
savannah management.
Gary Neumann, Assistant City Administrator, said that it is woodland on the plan
but left to the management of the Park Department to put in trails if that is their plan
for the use of the property. They will try to maximize the most appropriate use for
the neighborhood and the community. Terry Adkins said that the town square shall
be privately owned and maintained by the association but publicly accessible.

requirement is needed. The comprehensive plan shows this area as low -density
residential, the same as the R-1 residential neighborhoods. The City has installed
sewer and water around the area but the neighbors will not participate due to the
high cost. Mr. Johnson said his cost for 8 acres would be approximately $100,000.

The only way to afford the cost is to divide it among more owners by subdividing
into smaller parcels. The existing Rsa zoning prevents development and prevents
them from hooking up to City services. The area was originally zoned erroneously.
At the time of annexation the parcel should have been zoned R-1. All parcels
annexed to the City are brought in as R-1 unless the owner requests something
else. He requested R-1 at that time and should have received it.
Wishing to be heard was Lois Schub, 1425 201h Street S.W. She said that she
wants to keep the area green, the trees and the wooded area. The Planning
Commission agreed with the concept. She said to get to the particular area, you

west of 40th Avenue S.E.
Wishing to be heard was Ron Felt, 3714 Sheffield Lane S.E. Mr. Felt said that

Southport Subdivision No. 3 and south of 28th Street S.E. and includes extension of
20th Avenue S.E.
Wishing to be heard was Virginia Wentzel, 3016 19th Avenue S.E. She said that the
residents of Southport are concerned about how the area will be drained by the five
outlots for this development and future development. Ms. Wentzel noted that it was
their understanding the runoff will be diverted into retention ponds and then into
pipes and spillways and eventually into Willow Creek. Southport is to have sewer
and water extension next year. She said that it has been suggested that drainage

C
from this area be piped to Willow Creek also. Willow Creek cannot handle the
additional water and can only compound the water problem now experienced by
Southport. Willow Creek must be dredged and widened to accommodate the
additional water. Ms. Wentzel also asked who maintains the pond and who pays
for it if it fails; who cleans up the pond and spillway? She also noted that the
extension of 29th Street is not a straight -through street; there is a house in the
middle of the street.
Doug Nelson, Public Works, noted that the City would own and maintain the ponds.
The drainage that has in the past drained to the north, south and west will continue
to drain in those directions. Liners in the bottom of the ponds will avoid infiltration
of the pond water. The water that will drain from the ponds will do so at a much
lower rate even though the overall volume will be larger.
Wishing to be heard was Virginia Wentzel, 3016 19th Avenue S.E. , said that the
lower rate flow to Willow Creek will mean that the water table in the creek will stay
at a higher level for longer periods than before.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the historical rainfall precipitation
increased by 40 inches in Rochester during the 1990's. They are currently working
with the developer to make sure that the current high ground water situation does
not worsen.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, said that condition #7 can be disregarded
and condition #4 should be changed to read: "Owner agrees to grade and provide
the aggregate base in the proper profile and cross-section consistent with 29th
Street in the Pinewood Hills Second Development. City shall be responsible for
any paving concurrent with the WQPP project development in South Port".
Councilmember Hanson asked that condition #5 be amended to make sure that
construction access is not through the Southport and South Park subdivisions.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Senjem seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 344-
02 approving Final Plat #00-14 to be known as Pinewood Hills Second Subdivision
with six conditions, amending condition #4 as stated by Mike Nigbur and amending
condition #5 "that access will be through the commercial area south of Southport for

and condition #5.
Wishing to be heard was Lora Powell, 1120 Glendale Hills Drive N.E. She noted
that the plan was to have Rocky Creek Drive and Northern Valley Drive be through

Ms. Powell and her family built there. She said that Rocky Creek Drive should be

continued to off -set the traffic problem. The slope on Rocky Creek Drive should not
be an issue as it is within the limits set by the City. She asked that the proposed
parkland be finished on a timely basis.
Wishing to be heard was Jim Bryant, 1029 Rocky Creek Drive N.E. Mr. Bryant said
that the Planning Commission rejected the plat based on the wetland impact. He
said that if the plat is approved, his concern is with what happens to the water. Mr.
Bryant was also concerned about traffic abatement processes such as round-
abouts to slow the traffic. He said that traffic will try to divert from East Circle Drive
to Broadway to try to avoid the confusion at the Chateau Theatre.
Wishing to be heard was Susan Strubel, 1206 Glendale Hills Drive N.E. Ms.
Strubel said that it was her understanding that the road was funded and approved
and would be constructed this year. She noted a petition from the Glendale Hills
Drive neighborhood because of the traffic issues and the large number of children
on the street. She said that the City had noted to her that the only solution is to get
Rocky Creek Drive or Northern Valley Drive through to help with the traffic. She
asked that construction be done in a timely manner.
Wishing to be heard was Phil Sanders, 1502 Glendale Hills Drive N.E. At the last
Planning Commission meeting, a cross-section showed a steep dropoff on the side
of one of the streets; they talked about putting guardrails on the street. He said tha.
the Commission was also concerned about the slopes of some of the driveways
going to the homes; how was this addressed. Mr. Sanders said that he wanted to
see some through street but didn't know if Rocky Creek Drive was the street.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the Northern Heights North plat
had a section of Rocky Creek Drive that was very steep. The developer has not
come forth with any plats for the area because of the steepness. The developer
would not be charged with any portion of the road through this area unless he
develops lots along the roadway through his plat. The steep road section is within
the Northern Heights North plat and not on the Glendale Hills plat.
Wishing to be heard was Dave Morrill, McGhie & Betts, said that they have a 10
percent steepness grade for Rocky Creek Drive on the plat. The 10 percent grade
is similar to the Glendale Hills Drive and Northern Valley Drive making the plat
consistent with the existing roads. He said that he thought the cross -sections were
developed to show the steepness of the street if there were no development on
either side.
Wishing to be heard was Dale Mundahl, 1604 Glendale Hills Drive N.E. Mr.
Mundahl was in concerned with the wetlands issue. He was told by previous land
owners that there would be building sites where no homes would be built because
of the wetland issue in the neighborhood.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, stated that all required wetland permits and
mitigation issues are being worked through to minimize the wetland issues and
replace them elsewhere.

Wishing to be heard was Lora Powell, 1120 Glendale Hills Drive N.E. She referred
to the wetland issue; in talking with Mr. Gill, the previous owner of the land, he had
taken some of the land and left an outlot whereas the current plat has very deep
lots. The homes will be located forward on the lot leaving the decision of the land
to the owner of each lot to leave as they prefer.
Wishing to be heard was Elise Bryant, 1029 Rocky Creek Drive N.E. At the
Planning Commission, only one person bothered to walk the land; it is truly a
wetland. Why is something classified as wetland and then just turn around and
deed it as something else because traffic needs it?
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Evans seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 350-02

not in favor of putting the officers in the middle schools, we are not committed to
use the grant. Mr. Kvenvold said that given the preference, the Police Department
would rather -put officers in the middle schools than the high schools under the
assumption the work done earlier serves better than the work later.
Councilmember Hanson said that it would be putting officers into the schools rather
than out on the street where needed.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Evans seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 394-02
approving the acceptance of a COPS in Schools grant award for a three-year
period for $500,000. Ayes (6), Nays (1). Motion carried. Councilmember Senjem

Steve Kvenvold, City Administrator, said that there have been vagrants in the park
and this would be a further control mechanism. There are certain people that take
liquor into the park and drink all day. It would not affect "Down By the Riverside"
but someone wanting to take a cooler into the park for a picnic would need to
secure a permit from the Park Department.
Councilmember Stobaugh said that he has received a number of calls about the
situation and its effect on the neighbors. The situation has occurred because there
is no public intoxication or vagrancy ordinance.
Councilmembers Stobaugh moved, McConnell seconded, to approve the adoption
of an ordinance amending RCO 45B.17 prohibiting the sale, possession or
consumption of alcoholic beverages within Mayo Park except when such sale,
possession or consumption is under the authority of a permit issued by the Park
Board. Upon Roll Call Vote, Councilmembers Marcoux, McConnell, Stobaugh, and
President Hunziker voted aye; Councilmembers Evans, Hanson and Senjem voted
nay. Ayes (4), Nays (3). Motion carried.

Cloud. He noted agreement with the five conditions. Mr. Bell thanked staff for
working with the township in the placement of the pond within Marion Township.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, said that Marion Township was notified and has
responded that the Township does not regulate this activity and no action on their
part is needed. Mr. Adkins asked that condition #3 be amended to add the wording
"...proof of Marion Township approval if any such approval is required..."

A Hearing on Preliminary Plat #02-20 by Fred Schmidt to be known as Hundred
Acre Woods located along the north side of Eastwood Road S.E., south of TH 14
and west of Eastwood Golf Course.
Wishing to be heard was Cedric Schutz, Land Consultants, representing the
developer. He said that they were in agreement with the conditions. He also said
that MnDot has agreed with the alignment of the streets and roads. Mr. Schutz
noted that condition #7 regarding the width of the roads is a concern. Reducing the
streets widths from a 36-foot to a 34-foot to a 28-foot roadway causes a lot of
problems for the developer. He asked that a 66-foot right-of-way be maintained
throughout the development.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Senjem moved, Stobaugh seconded, to approve Preliminary Plat
#02-20 by Fred Schmidt to be known as Hundred Acre Woods with 12 conditions,
adopting Resolution No. 398-02 approving the Substantial Land Alteration, and
instructing the City Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and
Order. Discussion.
Phil Wheeler, Planning Department, said that the concern for the larger widths of
streets has to do with related higher speeds. He said that eventually traffic calming
measures would have to be implemented if the 66-foot right-of-way is maintained.
Problems can be avoided up front if streets are designed to deter speed from the
start.
It was the consensus of the Councilmembers that a 131h condition should be added:
"The applicant must provide surety that guarantees the site will be fully restored
after the completion of the excavation activity. Said surety must be provided prior
to the commencement of grading activities on the property."
Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.

A Hearing on Type III, Phase I, Appeal #02-04 of the Rochester Zoning Board of
Appeals denial of Variance Request #02-03 by Patrick Carr to allow for a fence
exceeding maximum height located at 623 Fourth Street S.E.
Wishing to be heard was Patrick Carr, applicant, 623 Fourth Street S.E. Mr. Carr
applied for variances on two accessory structures and one fence located on his
property. The Rochester Zoning Board of Appeals denied the variance for the east
structure and the fence height from six to eight feet. Mr. Carr said that the 60
square foot structure is located in the northeast corner of his property along his
house four feet from the property line. The fence he asked to maintain at eight feet
to provide privacy for the next -door neighbor as well as for security reasons. Mr.
Carr said that when his children are no longer living at home, the fence will be
lowered to the required six foot height. The Public Works Department was the only
department objecting to the placement of the shed and height of the fence, saying it
had been placed in the traffic visibility zone. Mr. Carr argued that according to the
Land Development Manual (LDM) Section 63.126 the shed is not in a traffic
visibility zone. The LDM says that a structure cannot be closer than 10 feet to the
intersection of a driveway with any right of way used for vehicular traffic. Mr. Carr
said that his structure is 16 feet from the street. Setbacks are not an issue. The
only issue is vehicular visibility. The vehicle right-of-way ends at the curb; no one
drives on the sidewalk.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that vehicular traffic includes bicycles
and pedestrians as well as cars. There is a visibility problem with the shed location
in that pedestrians are blocked from view on the sidewalk when cars are exiting
from the driveway. Mr. Freese stated that the Section 63.126 in the LDM has been
interpreted by staff to mean vehicular and non -vehicular visibility.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmember McConnell moved to uphold the decision of the Rochester Zoning
Board of Appeals in not granting the variance to Mr. Carr. Motion died for lack of
second.

Phil Wheeler, Planning Department, said that wider streets contribute to higher
speeds on roads. Narrower streets provide more pedestrian and bicycle -friendly
streets. He said that wider streets will also mean that a request will probably be
received in the future asking for traffic calming measures.
Wishing to be heard was Cedric Schutz, Land Consultants, representing Fred
Schmidt. He asked that condition #7 be removed from the conditions imposed on
the plat; i.e., the reduction of the streets from the 60-foot width recommended by

Council on concerns about the paving of a short section of 22"d Street S.E. to his

He felt that it was the responsibility of the City to pave the remainder of the road to
his new driveway.: The City will be annexing him within a five-year period. In
answer to a question from President Hunziker, he said that the road is currently
under the jurisdiction of Marion Township. He asked that the City Council pave the

Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby, representing the developer.
Mr. DuMond said that they were in agreement with the first six conditions but asked
that condition #7 be removed. Condition #7 would mean that two drainage ditches
would be running parallel coming into the pond, which is not necessary. The
regional pond, which has not yet been constructed, is needed to alleviate drainage
problems downstream between Fifth Street and Second Street. He said that it was
his understanding that Public Works has received permission to grade on one of
the lots to help the drainage. The upstream areas will not benefit from the pond.

Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the applicant has not yet
submitted a grading plan. If the applicant is not proposing to increase the
stormwater runoff, then it may be possible to look at the elimination of condition #7.
If the runoff were increased, the need for the second ditch would be looked at, as a
part of the grading plan application but to date there is no information on the lots as
to the flow or impact of the drainage. It is not possible at this time to make the
judgment as to the need for an additional drainage ditch but something that will be
considered as the grading plan is reviewed. Mr. Freese said that he did not think
that condition #7 was necessary as a requirement and that Public Works will look at
it regardless of the drainage issue as a condition.
Councilmember Marcoux said that in talking with residents of the area and talking
with them about the water problems, it will be critical that Public Works looks at the
drainage of the area very critically.
Wishing to be heard was Eline Knutson, 802 23`d Avenue S.W. He asked why
should the homeowners along 23`d Avenue SW have water on their side? The
Planning Commission suggested a berm or something else that would control the
runoff. This suggestion should be followed. He said that his property is not
affected as this time but the next phase will affect him.
Wishing to be heard was Delores Knutson, 802 23`d Avenue S.W. She noted that
they live on 3.5 acres. A ravine runs down from Baihly Heights; water from the
storm sewers in Baihly Heights run down the ravine. A couple of years ago when
the rains were heavy, the runoff of water was 30 feet wide in the ravine. That is
what will flow into the pond. It is important that the upper end of the ravine be
studied. When development occurs at the top of the hill, all of the erosion is down
the ravine into the pond.
Wishing to be heard was Kim Klampe, 610 23`d Avenue S.W. He is in part of Phase
I of the project. The creek is becoming wider and wider. Upstream problems need
to be looked at and solved. Mr. Klampe said he lives on a corner lot and gets runoff
from Fox Croft and Baihly Heights subdivisions.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the last three speakers have
spoken to an issue independent of the plat being considered. Those problems
need to be addressed separately. The pond has been designed to serve the
upstream drainage.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmember Hanson moved, Evans seconded, to approve Preliminary Plat #02-
22 by Platinum Development Group to be known as Folwell Ridge Second
Subdivision with six conditions and instructed the City Attorney to prepare Findings
of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order. Discussion.
Wishing to be heard was Emil Knutson, 802 23`d Avenue S.W. He asked if the four
lots on the west side of the development will remain. Brent Svenby, Planning
Department, said that there would be no lots adjacent to 23`d Avenue S.W.

and they are in agreement with all 17.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

A Hearing on Land Subdivision Permit #02-26 to be known as Century Hills
Townhomes Fourth Subdivision located east of Century Hills Drive and south of

Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby, representing the developer.
He noted their agreement with the first three conditions and suggested the following
amendment to condition #4: "In the event 215t Street is not constructed within the
Shannon Oaks property within one year of the completion of the public
improvements of the Century Hill Development, Owner agrees to provide and
construct the necessary temporary easements for a temporary turn around".
Wishing to be heard was Lyle Solem, 1221 201h Street N.W. Mr. Solem said that
over two years ago he and his family identified a location that they wanted to move
into; it has not yet been built. The development was approved but the timeframe
ran out for the applicant. Now, the developer must go through another preliminary
plan, through the Planning Commission, and back again before the Council. He
said that the development was approved in September of 2000; it is a waste of staff
time to redo the development approvals.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Brent Svenby, Planning Department, said that the ordinance allows only two years
on a preliminary plat; the applicant has not yet filed a final plan.

A Hearing on Final Plat #02-04 by Freedom Development to be known as Rolling
Ridge (formerly Ridge View Estates) located east of Valley Side Estates
Subdivision and 40th Avenue SE and south of TH14.
Wishing to be heard was Connie Smith, 4214 Eastwood Road S.E. Ms. Smith said
that she has spoken with Public Works staff and has tried to contact Dave Bell of
Freedom Development. She has not received a response from Mr. Bell in two
months regarding the water runoff and the problems that they are having. The
recent rains have caused the stormwater pond to fill; it has been cleaned but
continually fills up and spills over and flows across their property. Crops are again
damaged. Eastwood Road has not yet been worked on. The road was graded
prior to the last meeting. She would like to know when the road will be taken care
of; a bus could not get through because they are working on roads. Children are or
bicycles; trucks don't stop at the corner. The road is a half -lane road that is getting
increased amounts of traffic. She asked that the problems be resolved.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, said that the developer has secured an
easement for a pond at a location between the development and the south proper
to control additional water runoff for his development along with grading to control
the drainage. The work is not completed as of yet. The roadway is currently
serving as a temporary secondary access to serve the Valley Side Estates area.
The road is half platted in the City and half platted in the township. The drainage
pond and ditch is the developer's responsibility to maintain.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, stated that Marion Township had reviewed
the matter of the second pond to be built in the Township and the Township
deferred any responsibility to the City; in a letter from their attorney, they noted that
they have no review authority. The developer received approval for the
construction of the pond only two weeks ago.
Wishing to be heard was Jim Baier, Supervisor for Marion Township, 2620
Brookwood Court S.E., Eyota. He said that Marion Township did grade the road
this spring and put crushed rock on it. Mr. Bell does have an agreement to upgradE
the road and remove part of the hill as it approaches the stop sign. He suggested
that Peregrine Drive (the road from the City subdivision to the township road) be
closed to eliminate the extra traffic until this portion of Eastwood Road is upgraded.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

Troy Hillman, 402 Second Avenue SW, Kasson, answered questions regarding his
application for a Public Transportation Franchise in the City of Rochester. He said
that he had started a taxi service in Kasson two months ago with two vehicles and
had an agreement with McNeilus of Dodge Center to pick up his drivers and take
them to the Rochester Airport and from the Airport back to Dodge Center. He also
said that he brings people to the Mayo Clinic and takes people to and from hotels it
town. Mr. Hillman said that he does not want to run a taxi service in the City of
Rochester. The City Clerk stated that, in his application for a public transportation
franchise, Mr. Hillman referred to his operation as a taxi service.
Terry Adkins, City Attorney, explained to the Council that under RCO 93, Mr.
Hillman must operate a fixed route and must not allow him to operate in the City of
Rochester as a taxi service. In answer to a question from Mr. Adkins, Mr. Hillman
amended his application and stated he would only run a fixed route from Dodge
Centerl/Kasson to the Rochester Airport. Mr. Adkins then stated that any violation
of the taxicab ordinance carries with it a criminal penalty of $1000, 90 days in jail, c
both.
Wishing to be heard was Dan Moulton, Moulton Law Office, 976 14'h Avenue S.W.
Mr. Moulton said that present were representatives from four different companies:
Rochester Direct, Yellow Cab/Rochester Transportation Services, R & S Services,
and Rochester Express owned by the Moulton family. He asked that the Council
consider the ordinance and determine if the Hillman service is in response to a
public need. The makeup of the Rochester businesses and others show that the
need has been carried out. He outlined the number of cabs, buses, limousines,
vans, etc. that each business owns and uses and pointed out that none of them ar(
that busy. Rochester Express has ten runs between Rochester and Minneapolis
each day, as well as serving truckers and others to Dodge Center. All the
companies also provide charter services. Mr. Moulton said that in Rochester and
the surrounding towns, there is not enough passenger count to support another
business. He asked that the Council deny the application.
Councilmember Marcoux moved, Stobaugh seconded, to deny the Public
Transportation Franchise for Relax Y Taxi owned by Troy Hillman based on the

A Hearing on the Appeal to the Fire Code Board of Appeals for Rental Property
Egress Windows at 1900 Valley High Drive N.W.
Wishing to be heard was Dave Bakken, 301 Eighth Avenue N.W. Mr. Bakken was
appealing the decision of the Building Official on a Fire Code provision concerning
escape windows at an apartment building he owns at 1900 Valley High Drive. Mr.
Bakken said that a double -hung window has to have a clear openable height of at
least 24 inches; clear openable width is at least 20 inches and clear openable area
of at least 830 square inches. He said that his windows are 31.5 inches in height

Item
and the width is 38.5 inches for a total of 1212 square inches. Mr. Bakken said tha
he and the Director of Building and Safety, Ron Boose, have a disagreement on
what constitutes a clear opening of the window. He said that under the State Fire
Marshall Policy 1.3 Approved Egress Windows states: "Double hung windows with
easily removable sashes (or have been made easily removable) without the use of
separate tools" and "Easily removable shall be defined as able to be demonstrated
by the resident or occupant within approximately 60 seconds". Mr. Bakken
indicated that one of his tenants removed windows in under 30 seconds. By pullinc
out the security pins, pulling the window toward you and raising one side higher
than the other, the window comes easily out. The top window is identical once you
lower it. He not only shows tenants how to remove the windows, he indicated that
he would place the removal procedures near the window. He said according to the
Fire Marshall's worksheet and policy interpretation, his windows comply with the
1998 Minnesota Uniform Fire Code.
Wishing to be heard was Karen Bakken, 301 Eighth Avenue N.W., one of the
owners of the property. Ms. Bakken stated that she had talked with Rich Pearson
of the State Fire Marshall's Office. In listening to the tape from the Housing Board
of Appeals, she noted that Mr. Boose questioned why the state policy from the Fire
Marshall's Office is on the internet and the validity of the egress windows in their
apartment unit. She asked Mr. Pearson what was the intent of the policy. She saic
the policy states quite clearly that the purpose is "to provide for the uniform
enforcement of the escape egress window requirements throughout the state in
building code and non -building code areas." Mr. Pearson told her that the intent
was to develop a statement of policy that would help to insure that an egress
window on the iron range and one in Minneapolis and one in Rochester would havE
uniform standards of the Fire Code and for clarification. Ms. Bakken also asked Mr
Pearson if on the worksheet the height of the window when both sashes are
removed be at least 24 inches. Mr. Pearson had answered yes. She said that
based on the information that they have been given, their windows meet the Fire
Code requirements.
Ron Boose, Director of Building and Safety, said that the reason for disagreement
and reason for appeal comes down to the interpretation of removable or net clear
opening. The fire code that the Fire Marshall's Office wrote the policy on says that
the windows are required "in accordance with the building code". The International
Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) writes the building code. Their
interpretation is more contradictory than the Fire Marshall's. It stresses that the
windows are in place in case of emergency. They need to open in a hurry and by
common knowledge. Their statement is that building officials can evaluate certain
types of windows; and if there is no more effort required, then they could be
approved. It is his and his staff's opinion that disassembling the windows on the
Bakken property requires a lot more effort, knowledge and time than normal
operation of opening a window. They do not see that as meeting the intent of the
code. Mr. Boose said that the Fire Marshall's policy is for their department and not
enforceable outside of their department and the Building and Safety policy is their
department policy.

Terry Adkins, City Attorney, reminded the Council that they were to decide on the
decision based on the Fire Code. He said that Section 1206.2 is the law but there
is no definition of what an escape window is. The Council may rely on either the
Fire Marshall's interpretation or the ICBO's interpretation of the phrase "escape
window".
Dave Kaplar, Fire Chief, said that several months ago there was a special
committee formed by the Mayor to study egress windows. That group
recommended against these windows being allowed or accepted. He said that
there are some practical difficulties with the windows. The width of the windows at
20 inches is not a problem; the code also requires a clear opening of 24 inches in
height. When this window is raised, there is only 12.5 inches clear. When the
bottom sash is removed, there is only 15 inches clear. It is necessary to take both
the bottom and top sash out which doubles the time, complexity and effort of the
requirement of the code. The window cannot be removed from the outside by a
firefighter. He talked with the director of the Fire Marshall's Office. The policy of
the Fire Marshall's Office is just a policy that was adopted internally to help them be
cause of the vast differences in windows throughout the state. It was indicated that
the judgment is left to the inspectors in the field to judge what windows are
acceptable or not. When a window is replaced, it should meet the current Building
Code under which the windows are installed. The windows on the Bakken property
did not meet the 1988 code when replaced. If you could not break out the top and
bottom sashes of the window, you would not be able to get out. If these types of
windows were permitted, elderly persons, young children or others would not be
able to open these windows to escape. It is very problematic to vary from the strict
interpretation of the code as the National Council of Building Officials has given
their interpretation.
Mayor Canfield noted that the Council asked him to put together a group to study
the program. Most of the individuals were people who have rental housing. The
group met in five separate meetings and came back with a single message that
there should be a time lapse to give the people who had windows that were no
longer adequate time to replace according to the new codes.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmember Senjem said that the interpretation of the Fire Code gives specifics
for height, width and total opening size for escape egress windows while the
Building Code says where windows are utilized that they be the usual double -hung
horizontal sliding or casement windows operated by the turn of a crank and further
says that other windows are approved if they are as easily operated and removed.
Based on that information, the Building Code is far less stringent that the State Fire
Marshall's Code.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, McConnell seconded, to adopt the Fire Marshall's
interpretation of the phrase "escape window" and to reverse the decision of the
building official on the application of the Fire Code regarding escape windows at
1900 Valley High Drive. Ayes (6), Nays (1). Motion carried. President Hunziker
voted nay.

Wishing to be heard was Harvey Ratzloff, 4402 Sixth Street N.W., developer. The
density intended on either R-1X or R-2 are well below the limits allowed by
ordinance. There are duplex -style townhomes scattered throughout the
subdivision. Those people have control over the lots. They can have gardens,
patios, trees, etc. The four -unit townhomes are one particular lot governed by the
association of which the single-family homeowners can also belong if they desire.
There are four single-family home lots adjacent to South Park Second that will
provide the buffer for the townhomes. Soil conditions only allow for townhomes
rather than single-family homes on the property; rock is close to the surface.
Single-family homes on slabs haven't been considered as they have a very low
market. The single-family homes should be completed in one year and the
townhomes in three to five years. The eastern 1.4 acres of land has been acquired
by a quit claim deed from the sellers.
Wishing to be heard was Jon Seberg, 2439 23rd Avenue S.E. Mr. Seberg was
concerned about the density of the housing; a lot of area that will cause increased
stormwater runoff. The increased traffic load was a concern as well.

Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, said that the change in density from R-1 to R-2
from approximately 75-80 units to approximately 139 units. She restated that Mr.

A Continued Hearing on General Development Plan #182 by Ratzloff-Bigelow
located south of Pinewood Road SE, west of 22"d Avenue SE and east of 21 st
Avenue SE and 20th Avenue SE.
Wishing to be heard was Harvey Ratzloff, 4402 Sixth Street N.W. Mr. Ratzloff
agreed to the six conditions. He noted that they have bought another property to
the east to give another access to the development. It will also allow for the loopi
of the water and bring the sewer through the property. At the neighborhood
meeting, many people were concerned about the traffic coming into 20th Avenue
S.E. Forty-nine units can be built before second access is required. The
construction access will be brought from the north on a temporary road extending
from 22"d Avenue and can be used if the south access is not available.
Wishing to be heard was Steven Bailey, 2504 22"d Avenue S.E. Mr. Bailey said
that he is not in favor of the temporary access road to the north. The roadway is
feet wide with no pedestrian walkways; the road is also a bus route. A haul route
along the road would not be reasonable.
Wishing to be heard was Gerry Kittleson, 2510 22"d Avenue S.E. Mr. Kittleson said
that he is 100% against the temporary access road. He said that the Schoenfelder
Addition (where Mr. Kittleson lives) should not be involved in this project at all.
There is no stormwater retention pond planned. There is a draw at the top of the
hill and the existing house on 22"d Avenue has water running through the lawn two
feet deep at times. The increase of the roofs and blacktop will only increase the
stormwater runoff problem.
Jon Steberg, 2439 23rd Avenue S.E. Mr. Steberg said that a temporary access
road will be in the back of his property. If used as a construction haul road, he
would have a lot of dust. He has no problems with sewer and water along the 1
but not used as a road, besides the dust, headlight will be shinning into his
bedroom. The road is extremely narrow for cars and trucks traveling on it.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmember Hansen noted that the secondary access would be a big problem.
There is no problem with the City sewer and water being installed along that route.
The road would be too steep and won't work. He recommended that the temporary
access road be removed from the project and in the interim the developer and the

Development.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, noted that Condition #3 needs to be amended to
read: "Access to the east must be eliminated from the General Development Plan.
This development will need to be phased to limit the average daily trips (ADT) on
existing roads until additional access is constructed (i.e. through the Quinstar
property to the south). It appears as though this development will need to be
phased such that it does not generate more than 370 ADT prior to construction of
additional access."

as Rolling Ridge (formerly Ridge View Estates) located east of Valley Side Estates
subdivision and 401h Avenue SE and south of TH14.
Wishing to be heard was Dave Bell, Freedom Development, developers of the
project. Mr. Bell stated that they were in agreement with the three conditions. He
has talked with Marion Township and some of the residents about the new
stormwater pond and the upgrading of Eastwood Road. The road will be upgraded
as a part of the development agreement.
Wishing to be head was Connie Smith, 4214 Eastwood Road S.E. She said that
they have spoken tonight with Mr. Bell but still have some concerns regarding the
pond. She asked if the location of the pond could be checked as the elevation
seems to be the same elevation as the road. There is a watershed of 98 acres;
where is all the water coming from? Eastwood Road is considered a sub -standard
road by City code for the angle and width.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, asked that the approval for the final plat be
given with the stipulation that the grading plans must be approved by the City prior
to recording of the final plat.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, said that the Eastwood Road will be
improved by Mr. Bell along his property to make it passable as a secondary egress
and access. There are long-term corrective solutions needed to Eastwood Road
and 40th Avenue. He said that the City can talk to Olmsted County about additional
signage on the intersection of Eastwood and 401h Avenue to help in slowing down
traffic.
Wishing to be heard was Jim Baier, Marion Township Supervisor, Mr. Baier said

(J-9815) "Reconstruction of Bandel Road N.W. from 571h Street to 65th Street N.W.".
Wishing to be heard was Daryl Jensen, 2116 Campus Drive S.E., representing
Bandel Hills Affordable Townhomes. The assessment as proposed for the
Townhomes property is $15,642.72. Bandel Hills is a low-income tax -increment
project which does not have an equity base built into the project to pay for any
special assessments. The residents are between 40-50 percent of the area medi
income. The assessment would require a rent increase between $38-$61 per
month for a 13-month period. One reason the assessment is high is that the
property is classified as commercial but should be changed. He asked that he
might be able to work with City staff to work out a reduction of the assessment to
make less of an impact to the residents.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the assessment can run for a ten-
year period which would make the assessment over 120 months rather than one
year. There would be interest paid on the assessment as well over that period.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, said that multi -family units have a greater
impact on the roadways and are considered commercial property in that regard. t
noted that staff will look again at the assessment but it now follows the present
policy.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

another project.

Councilmembers Marcoux moved, McConnell seconded, to continue the hearing on

A Hearing to Take Testimony on the Disorderly Use Ordinance Violations Upon
Property Located at 841 Second Street N.W.
Wishing to be heard was Sgt. Mike Vik, Rochester Police Department. Sgt. Vik
said he was available to answer any questions that the Council may have. He said
that the revocation was not about money but rather behavior and presented an
opportunity for the Council to say to those individuals with rental property that self-
discipline is the best discipline.
Councilmember Marcoux noted that the Council has received a listing of the
occurrences at 841 Second Street N.W. that were part of the disorderly use.
Ron Boose, Director, Building & Safety, gave background material on the property
since acquired by the current owner on September 1, 2001. The property has been
registered as a duplex since 1977. The first disorderly use was March 21, 2002. An
inspector was sent on a complaint investigation on March 27 for junked car and
washing machine. Re -inspection on April 3 showed the washing machine had been
removed. On April 8 an interior inspection was done but could not confirm a
complaint of over -crowding but three interior violations of a minor nature were cited.
On April 11 re -inspection showed the junked car removed. On April 12 a request
for a copy of the leases was requested to determine compliance with the Disorderly
Use Ordinance. The lease did not comply with the Ordinance requirements. A
sample lease was mailed to the landlord. On May 14 another complaint was
received for junked car and rubbish in the yard. The second disorderly use was
issued on May 16. On June 4 the vehicles were removed. The third disorderly use
occurred on June 27 and was responded to by the Police Department. The
property does have a valid rental certificate until September 30, 2002. At the
hearing before the Rental Review Board, the owner stated the unit was vacant. As
of August 5, 2002, it appears on sight that the unit has been reoccupied. The
property is in compliance with the housing code with the exception of the lease,
which does not comply with the Disorderly Use Ordinance.
Dave Goslee, Deputy City Attorney, noted, when asked why staff hadn't revoked
the certificate, that RCO 38.152(8) entitles the property owner to a hearing before
the Council takes action to suspend or revoke after three disorderly violations.
Wishing to be heard was Sylvia Quirk, 847 First Street N.W. After the initial hearing
before the Rental Review Board two weeks ago, Ms. Quirk had a conversation with

Mr. Phy. She said that Mr. Phy continued with excuses why he couldn't do
background checks; i.e., too expensive to do the checks, the tenants can't find
other facilities where to live. Mr. Phy told her that it was the Police Department's
job to respond to calls and not his problem. When asked about the disorderly
behavior and the effect on the neighborhood, Mr. Phy told Ms. Quirk that they
should expect problems. Ms. Quirk said that Mr. Phy has up to eight properties
with four in their neighborhood. The property at 617 Fourth Street N.W., not the
subject of the hearing this evening, was the site of a near -riot and a stabbing. The
neighbors in that area can't be in their own yards or walk down the sidewalk without
being subjected to harassment. Mr. Phy attended the Crime -Free Housing Seminar
last summer. After that he continued to rent to questionable tenants at 841 2nd
Street N.W., Apt. 1, without a background check. Any background check would
have shown numerous disorderlies, assaults, etc. that would have alerted a
landlord not to rent to these people. A few days after the shooting, Ms. Quirk spoke
with the landlord's wife and she didn't know why a background check needed to be
done on the tenants. Ms. Quirk said that despite many requests, the lease
language is still not in compliance with the ordinance. Ms. Quirk said that a
message should be sent to all landlords again that they are responsible for their
tenants. Mr. Phy should be held responsible for the impact his tenants are having
and should pay a fine of three month's rent and suspension of the license for at
least 60 days.
Wishing to be heard was Darrell Hildebrant, Advanced Crime Prevention Specialist,
Rochester Police Department. He said that it is the recommendation of the
Rochester Police Department to impose at least a $500 fine or not to exceed one
month's rental income and revocation of the rental certificate for Apartment #1 for a
minimum of 6 months to one year. Mt. Phy has attended the Crime Free Multi -
Housing class last year and knows the laws and ordinance in question. Mr. Phy
has not promptly responded to the Police Department's request for a letter in writing
after the second notice. When a response was received after several phone calls,
it was on scrap paper. The Police Department feels that Mr. Phy knows the rental
requirements, but fails to comply with the law and the disorderly use ordinance. Mr.
Hildebrand said that the background checks for the landlords are free of cost to
them. He said that Mr. Phy had not filed an unlawful detainer to his knowledge.
Wishing to be heard was Mr. Phy Kunthary, 909 111h Street N.W. Mr. Phy said that
when he became a landlord, he was confused about whether he was the one who
checked references on tenants or was it the responsibility of the tenant to get the
background checks and provide to Mr. Phy. He said that he had attended the
Crime Free Multi -Housing Workshop last year but because of the language barrier,
he did not understand everything that he needed to do. He said he works full time
and tries to obey all the rules. Mr. Phy said that pieces of wood that were picked up
by the City on the one premise was wood for fires. He said that he was not aware
that he had to check on every person that wants to rent every time. In response to
a question from Councilmember Marcoux, Mr. Phy said he has received a new
lease form to be used. However, he has re -rented the apartment and did not do a
background check prior to leasing. He said he is currently in the process of doing
the check. He rented because he did not have the Council's decision on non -rental
of the apartment.

President Hunziker asked Mr. Phy what the rent has been in Apartment #1. Mr.
Phy said that the rent is $650 per month including utilities. The apartment is a two -
bedroom unit and he rents to a maximum of three people.
President Hunziker asked Mr. Phy if he was in agreement that there were three
violations on the people that were in there. Mr. Phy said that he agrees and he haE
tried to follow on whatever the City has told him to do. He told the tenant that he
could not stay if he had a dog. He told the tenants after the shooting that one more
time and they would be out; one more time and the license for the apartment would
be taken. He said that he did not understand that the checks were before renting.
Mr. Phy said that he told the tenants that the wrecked car could not be there and hE
did not know that the decking repair items could not be there. Mr. Phy said that he
understood the only violations were the shooting and the dog. His tenant was not
the one doing the shooting but being shot at.
Wishing to be heard was Eric Boynton, Rochester Police Officer. He summarized
the three disorderly violations.
-March 21, 2002 — driveby shooting, disorderly conduct, obstructing the
legal process. (there were ten shell casings found at the site). Officer Boynton sail
that when they approached the residence, there were 20-30 people inside the
residence. When asked to leave the house, they became disorderly and were
removed at gun point and handcuffed. The Police were unaware of who or where
the shooter was and precautions needed to be taken.
-May 16, 2002 — barking dog. A dog was tied in the front yard and barking
at a very late hour in the evening. The dog was owned by one of the tenants in
Apartment #1 and had recently been issued a citation for barking dog, loud and
excessive noise.
-June 13, 2002 — barking dog. The dog was tied under the rear deck.
There was also a person passed out on the front porch. There were several calls
that evening about the dog. The officer woke up the person on the porch and had
him put the dog inside. A citation was again issued by mail.
Officer Boynton confirmed that there have been approximately 20 police calls to 1
address since March 2002. Dave Goslee, Deputy City Attorney, noted that there
have been 14 separate incidents in a 3 Y2 month period.
Wishing to be heard was Sothaline Penn, 4536 Conrad Drive N.W. Mr. Penn is a
co-owner in the house with Mr. Phy. He was absent from the country during the
time when all the incidents were happening and said he felt bad about leaving Mr.
Phy with the sole responsibility. Mr. Penn agreed that mistakes were made about
not checking tenants. He said, however, that it is the Police Department's
responsibility to find out about the shooting, not the landlord. He asked for mercy
from the Council. He said he is finding out what it is to be a landlord. Tenants
leave various messes in the apartments, which have to be cleaned out, tenants
leave without giving notice, etc. If the Council takes the license, he has no income
He asked the Council to give them a chance to make everything right.
Mayor Canfield told Mr. Penn that he did not take action as a responsible landlord
to protect the community from tenants causing problems.

Wishing to be heard was Stephanie Kyland, 821 First Street S.W. She recalled at
the hearing before the Rental Complaint Review Board that after the third disorderly
use at Apartment #1, Mr. Phy did not evict the tenants but they left of their own
accord. She said that it makes a difference in terms of his actions and his
willingness to evict the tenants.
Wishing to be heard was Jack Ramage, 623 Fourth Street N.W., near 617 Fourth
Street N.W., another property of Mr. Phy's. He said that you feel powerless as a
neighbor to rental property. The landlords can rent to whomever they want to, in
this case, and not be held accountable for their actions. Mr. Phy failed to do a
background check on any of his properties even after a hearing where he was
instructed on the mechanisms to follow. He was informed of these responsibilities
in August of 2001 after the near -riot at one of the properties. He has had a
continued pattern of non-compliance and apathy and never been held accountable.
As a neighbor, it's hard to get three disorderly uses to get to this point before the
Council. The hearing is a result of a lot of work by the neighbors to hold this man
responsible. Mr. Ramage said that he asked Mr. Phy to do something to clean up
the complex at 617 Fourth Street N.W. and he has failed to do anything or evict the
tenants. He has done nothing since the Rental Complaint Review Board hearing.
Mr. Ramage said that Mr. Phy comes across as ignorant of the requirements and
having a language barrier, which is not the case. He gets off work at 3:30 PM
each day and can make it to the Police station to get background checks. He is an
employee at Mayo Clinic and owns eight properties in Rochester. Mr. Ramage said
that Mr. Phy should be punished the maximum that the law allows in this instance.
Just as Mr. Phy has established a pattern for non-compliance the City needs to
establish a policy for enforcement.
Wishing to be heard was Mr. Phy Kunthary, 909 11`h Street N.W. He asked to
respond to Mr. Ramage on the issue of 617 Fourth Street N.W. He said that the
people living at this complex are very nice people. He tried to evict once but the
tenant's husband could not walk and he could not evict. Mr. Kunthary said that he
let them live there because they could not find another place to live. The husband
has now died. This year there have been no problems at 617 Fourth Street N.W.
She has promised that she will be out of her apartment within 24 hours if there are
any more incidents.
Wishing to be heard was Laurie Newman, 845 Second Street N.W., right next to the
house at 841 Second Street N.W. She said that she could have called the Police
each night since Mr. Phy purchased the property. The first time that Ms. Newman
spoke to Mr. Phy's wife, she was told not to bother to call them. Other people tried
that at the other place that they rent. Ms. Newman said that it was their van that
was shot. She described it as a nightmare living in their home; i.e., the swearing,
the cussing, the junk, the piles of stuff, and the constant of having to wonder what is
going to happen when friends would come over. There has to be consequences for
his actions. She has lived in her home for six years, other renters were next door
prior to Mr. Phy's buying the property, but nothing like what is occurring now.
Wishing to be heard was Sothaline Penn, 4536 Conrad Drive N.W. He said that
people keep talking about calling the police which is the right thing to do because

they are a public servant. He said he usually gets calls from neighbors who don't
like the tenants because they look different and sit on the grass. Can we tell peol
not to sit on the grass? He tells people to call the police. Mr. Penn said that he
doesn't believe that the landlords are responsible for everything that happens.
President Hunziker reminded Mr. Penn that the landlords in the City of Rochester
are responsible for the people that are in their rental property. It is not the police's
concern to monitor the behavior of their renters. It is the landlord's responsibility to
rent to people that are not causing trouble for anyone else in the neighborhood.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Newman, 845 Second Street N.W. He said that he
would talk with the tenants during the day but at night there was a lot of noise,
screaming and hollering. He called in to the police many times but did not say it
was 841 Second Street S.W.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmember Marcoux moved, Evans seconded, that four actions be taken:
1. The property owners fined in the amount of $650.00 equal to one
month's rent.
2. The rental registration certificate for Apartment #1 at 841 Second Street
S.W. shall be revoked for six months.
3. The property owners shall pay a reinstatement fee of $100.00 following
the expiration of the revocation period.
4. Apartment #1 shall not be leased or occupied until the Rochester Police
Department has run a criminal history/background investigation on any tenants as
required by the City ordinance and a lease has been drafted and executed that
meets the requirements of the ordinance.
Discussion.
Councilmember Senjem felt that the license should be revoked on the entire
property. David Goslee, Deputy City Attorney, said that the Rental Review Board
acted on only Apartment #1 and that was the hearing today.
Councilmember McConnell stated that he preferred suspension of the rental
certificate for a period of 60 days rather than 6 months. He believed that the
cultural difference and language difference did hamper the understanding
somewhat for Mr. Phy.
Councilmember McConnell moved to suspend the rental certificate for a period of
60 days. Motion died for lack of second.
Councilmember Senjem asked to amend the motion to require that both owners
attend the next offered Crime -Free Multi -Housing Program workshop.
Councilmember agreed by consensus to amend the motion.

property, called the Cook -Thompson property. In 1999 the Mike Young revised and

with residents of mobile home parks. He presented photos and an inspection
report. He stated he had been working with the residents and speaking for them
wanted to highlight some of their concerns. He emphasized the importance of the
meetings already held with more needed in the future. A major concern was
access to adequate and safe drinking water. Bottle water could be a solution
especially for the winter months. Another concern was dead trees with debris
falling onto homes, along with the electrical system being inadequate. The sewer
system is a major problem with back up coming into homes. He suggested that the
system be periodically cleaned. He wanted to make the point that the trailer park
has not closed and still has standards to uphold for the next nine months. Also that
there are not many housing options for the residents. He recommended having
Social Services do a "Needs Based Assessment" for each resident. He would like
the Environmental Health Commission to review what is not being done to keep the
park in compliance with code.
Wishing to be heard was Janice Carlson, 422 41 st Ave. NW. Mrs. Carlson's mother
was a resident of the park but has since passed away. She continues to pay lot
rent and was interested in what was going to happen with the park.
Wishing to be heard was Linda Ward, 212 20th Ave. SW, #27. She explained the
dilemma of not being able to move the trailers, sell them or use them for trade-ins.
She also asked about the closing day of April 12th and whether April's rent was to
be paid. She mentioned she had contacted the state office of Mike Hatch and
could find nothing in the statutes that stated she could not move her trailer.
Wishing to be heard was Dan Berndt, 206 South Broadway, Dunlap & Seeger Law
Firm representing the owners of the trailer park. After many meetings with city
staff, Councilmembers and residents, they are recommending passing the
proposed ordinance. His concern was over the RCA mentioning no set-off except
under certain circumstances and the importance of the residents and owner
continuing to meet their respective obligations. The issue of April rent would be
waived for those moving in that month. The increase of debris since the notice of
closing is a problem and the owner has increased cleanup but needs the residents
to help in the process. He would like to have the owner and the Olmsted County
Public Health Department work together on the drinking water and sewer issues.
Wishing to be heard was Connie Stannard, Olmsted County Health Department.
Ms. Stannard was asked if the water in the trailers was safe for drinking. She
explained that the department was responding to a complaint from a resident
concerning their water and while in the process, witnessed a trailer being moved
showing an inadequate water line to the trailer which prompted them to review the
water supply to the park. Findings were that the supply into the park was not
sufficient to accommodate the number of homes in the park. Along with the sewer
system being a problem, the Department has asked for a potable water source for
the entire park.
Wishing to be heard was Liliana Campos, 212 20th Ave. SW, #26. She told of a
storm that caused damage in the park and a tree fell on her trailer. Mr. Witter
showed a lack of concern and did not clean up the debris from the storm properly.

Wishing to be heard was Mr. Hernandez, 212 20th Ave. SW. His concern was
compensation for his trailer.
Wishing to be heard was Enrique Hernandez, 212 201h Ave. SW, #17. His concern
was if the residents move, would they have the same problems that they are having
now in another trailer park. He stated since the notice of closure, many renters
have not cared about the park resulting in the trash problem.
Wishing to be heard was Dennis Rattenberg, 626 3`d Ave. SE, Apt. 2. He spoke of
the seeing the water pressure issue first hand while visiting Darlene Knutson a
resident of the park.
Wishing to be heard was Magdalena Carranza, interpreter for the Health
Department. She stated through working with the department and park residents
she has seen first hand that there is back-up into kitchen sinks and has continued
to recommend homeowners to boil the water and use chlorine to clean dishes. She
also mentioned the water pressure is poor.
Wishing to be heard was Liliana Campos, 212 20th Ave. SW #26. She stated her
concern regarding the hardship of moving with children and affordability of housing.
Wishing to be heard was Herebarto Campos, 212 20 Ave. SW #2. He was
instructed to contact Teresa Fogarty, Planning Department for an update of the
notifications.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
President Hunziker recapped the main issues presented: That no rent would be
charged for April, the owner has asked for a 30 day notice of relocation, the
ownership of the trailers are to be determined by Teresa Fogarty, the tree debris is
to be removed, continued trash cleanup, the need for drinking water to continue
through the winter months and the sewer/water pressure inadequacy.
Ron Boose, Rochester Building and Safety, informed the council that there are no
standards for mobile homes prior to July 1,1972. Without any standards to follow
for relocating the trailers, his department would inspect under basic safe housing
standards and determine on a case -by -case basis whether the trailer can be moved
to another Rochester mobile home site. Mr. Boose will work with Lynn Ward on the
option of moving her trailer.

D-24 Councilmember McConnell stated that he was not in favor of having the 7th Street
N.W. access be removed. The access has posed no problems and been of a
benefit, but will cause hardship, to businesses. He said that the agreement enterf
into with MnDot was either a "sign or you get nothing" agreement.
Councilmember Evans agreed with Councilmember McConnell but asked if a
meeting could be held with MnDot to see what the City can do if the access is
closed. He mentioned that Representative Kuisle might be able to help the City.
Councilmember Marcoux asked how long the bids will hold; she was told 30 days
from the bid opening date. She also felt that a discussion with MnDot should be
held to look at future connections as well.
Councilmembers Marcoux moved, McConnell seconded, to table setting a public
hearing for the purpose of receiving testimony on the proposed closure of the 71h
Avenue N.W. intersection with CSAH 16 and schedule a Committee -of -the -Whole

Councilmember Hanson asked whether the agreement contained a penalty should
the City fail to close the access by October 1st. Terry Adkins, City Attorney, said
that according to the agreement, there is no penalty provision.

E-1 A Continued Hearing on General Development Plan #184 by Platinum
Development located west of 50th Avenue NW, south of 515t Street and the
Wedgewood Hills developments.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby Associates, representing
the developer, Platinum Development. He said that his comments will also be
relevant to hearing E-2 on the zoning district for the property. He said that a
sanitary sewer trunkline needs to come across the golf course; they would like to
proceed with the sanitary sewer trunkline. Mr. DuMond noted agreement with the
nine conditions. On the zoning district amendment, neighbors had brought up
concerns that having townhomes off the back would block their views. He said tha
the houses and townhomes have the same height limitations. The reconstruction c
50th Avenue will allow for upgraded public access to the first proposed intersection
on the north side of the property.

Councilmembers Hanson moved, Evans seconded, to approve General
Development Plan #184 by Platinum Development with nine conditions and
instructed the City Attorney to prepare Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and
Order. Discussion.
Councilmember Stobaugh asked about the adequacy of the trunkline sewer to the
development. Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that 50-75 units could
be developed initially but the rest would have to wait until the extension of the
sanitary sewer across Northern Hills Golf Course. The project will be in the Capital
Improvement Program for Council consideration later this year.
Ayes (6), Nays (1). Motion carried. Councilmember McConnell voted nay.
A Continued Hearing on Zoning District Amendment #02-08 by Platinum
Development to rezone to R-2 property located west of 50th Avenue NW, south of
51st Street and the Wedgewood Hills developments.
Having no one wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Councilmembers Hanson moved, Evans seconded, to approve Zoning District
Amendment #02-08 by Platinum Development and instructed the City Attorney to
prepare the required ordinance for adoption. Discussion.
Councilmember McConnell said that there are many objections, originally voiced at
the Planning and Zoning Meeting. He said the neighbors felt that there should be a
border of trees between the new houses and the existing neighborhood.
Ayes (6), Nays (1). Motion carried. Councilmember McConnell voted nay.
A Hearing on Final Plat #01-29 to be known as Manor Woods North First
Subdivision by Forbrook-Bigelow Development located west of Manor Woods West
Tenth Subdivision, west of Manor Ridge Drive NW, south of 71h Street NW and east
of Somerset Hills Subdivision.
Wishing to be heard was Christi Clark, McGhie & Betts, representing the developer.
She noted agreement with the five conditions.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, noted a correction in Condition #5. The
second sentence should be modified to read: "The common access for Lots 28 and
29, Block 2, is where the driveway is located."
Wishing to be heard was John Schmidt, 4907 Manor Ridge Lane N.W. He
appeared before the Council approximately six months ago. His concern was and
still is where all the storm water runoff is going to go. The backyard of his property

is continually wet even during dry conditions. If fill is added where the water drains
now, he is concerned where the water will go next.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, said that Outlot A contains a large
stormwater detention structure. Mr. Schmidt said that the dirt in the Outlot is to be
leveled and will run to him. He noted that there are ruts where the water has run
into the woods.
President Hunziker asked Mr. Nigbur and Ms. Clark to walk the property with Mr.
Schmidt to look at and confirm the drainage plan.
Councilmember Marcoux said that she has spent considerable time over the past
two months, as well as other Councilmembers, checking drainage problems and
mud runoff problems. She has spent much time in Country Club Manor looking at
the interim drainage problems. She asked that the developer please look at the
interim drainage on the land so that it does not go into Mr. Schmidt's backyard and
not into the City's drainage pond.
Wishing to be heard was Allen Miller, 5166 Coventry Lane NW. Mr. Miller noted
that he lives in Summerset Hills located behind the pond and he is also concerned
about the drainage. He said that they have heard about the pond for six months,
seen the dirt fill grow higher giving the water more of a slope to drain. He asked if
all the lots would be raised by ten feet? He asked that the City please check the
adequacy of the pond.
Brent Svenby, Planning Department, noted that there are two locations on the
property on which the houses will be raised by ten feet as allowed for under the
drainage plan. Anything higher would require approval by the City Council.
Wishing to be heard was Christi Clark, McGhie & Betts, representing the developer
She said that to her knowledge, the pond has not yet been constructed but rather a
temporary holding area has been put in. The pond itself will be significant in size.
The construction of the pond coincides with the construction of the homes this fall.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, suggested that this matter be tabled to the
end of the Council meeting to allow staff to meet with the concerned individuals an
McGhie & Betts staff. He noted that the volume of runoff discharged by the pond
will be controlled.
Wishing to be heard was Allan Miller, 5166 Coventry Lane NW. Mr. Miller stated
that he had talked with Public Works previously and the water will not be draining
7tn Street but rather into the pond. The erosion mitigation during construction has
been non-existent; i.e., no seeding and no addition to the silt fences.
Wishing to be heard was David Martin, 5274 Carrington Lane N.W., on the north
side of the development. He has noticed significant silt and water running over the
top of the pond and eroding and rutting the land between his and the neighbor's
property.

A Hearing on Final Plat #02-05 to be known as West Park by B/S Development,
Inc. located west of Manor Woods West Fifth and Sixth Subdivisions, east of
Westchester Hills Subdivision, south of Summerset Hills Subdivision and north of
Country Club Road SW.
Wishing to be heard was Christi Clark, McGhie & Betts, representing the applicant.
She noted agreement with the three conditions at this time.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, noted that David Martin might wish to
speak to this plat rather than the last as this is where his concern is.
Wishing to be heard was David Martin, 5274 Carrington Lane N.W. He noted that
there is a basin made by pilling up some dirt on the border of the plat which has
filled up with water. The water has now spilled over with water, dirt and silt running
into the area that normally runs off between his and his neighbor's property to the
west. He said they realize it's interim during construction but are concerned that as
the land gets converted to pavement and roof tops, there will be much more runoff
than when it was farm fields. Mr. Martin talked with Ward Opius from Bigelow
Enterprises who said that the temporary basin will be re -designed. He wanted to
reflect for the record the significant runoff problems at this point.
Richard Freese, Public Works Department, said that both this development and the
former development applied for, and received, an interim grading plan. The interim
grading plan is a general grading plan done in advance of a final plat being
approved. No substantial land alteration can be completed and no utilities can be
installed during the interim grading process. Prior to the final plat being filed, a
formal grading plan must be submitted along with the construction plans for the
utilities. Both projects have had final grading plans and construction plans
reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department. The ponds can now be
constructed. Mr. Freese said that the Cascade Town Board asked that certain
conditions be made relative to the grading for this project prior to the Council
approval on the final plat. The Township approval was incorporated into the
City/Owner agreement with the City.

Number 200 by Joel Bigelow & Sons Enterprises Inc. located along the south side
of 481h Street SW, west of 11th Avenue SW and Tee Court SW.
Wishing to be heard was Ward Opius, 5955 118th Avenue N.W. Byron, representi
Bigelow Enterprises, the developer. He noted agreement with all the conditions
except Condition #2. The City bought the private water system from the golf cour
that serves the townhomes. The water system is inadequate for fire protection.
The Fire Department will not allow for building permits until adequate fire protectic
water is provided. Rochester Public Utilities has stated to Mr. Opius that they will
have City water to the development within two years. He is requesting that since
the other buildings in the area are not sprinkled, that the Council approve the
building of the development without sprinkling the buildings at this time until
adequate water supply is provided.
Wishing to be heard was Gary Swanson, 4862 Tee Court S.W., located at Village
on the Green, 35 feet below the proposed development. The project will be
connecting to the same well that is used for Village on the Green. They are
concerned if there will be enough water pressure to handle 38 units rather than the
30 existing units; and if there is a fire, will there be adequate water pressure for fire
fighting equipment. Mr. Swanson noted that they are also concerned with the
sewer system. They have been hooked by a private lift station to the City sewer
system since the townhomes were built. There is a lift station. The eight units of
the Bigelow Development will be connecting to the sewer system and will have to
go through the lift station. The City will not take over the lift station and the
association has to maintain it themselves. He would like the City to take over,
maintain and run the lift stations for the sewer system if they are going to continue
to add units to it. The sewer rates are the same for City residents but they must
maintain their private system.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that he could not speak to the water
system as that is maintained by Rochester Public Utilities. The sewer system was
1

Item
privately installed to handle the Village on the Green Development years ago and
should handle up to 40 units.
Gary Neumann, Assistant City Administrator, said because it is a private lift station,
the matter is between the homeowners association of Village on the Green and
Bigelow Development.
Wishing to be heard was Ward Opius, representing Bigelow Enterprises. He said
that he understands that Bigelow Enterprises would be a part of the same lift station
paying the same rate as the other residents of Village on the Green for
maintenance of the station.
Wishing to be heard was Gary Swanson, 4862 Tee Court S.W., noting that the lift
station was designed for 38 units. The Village is connected to City sewer, have to
pay the same rates as anyone else in town, but has to maintain their own lift station
with no expertise.
Brent Svenby, Planning Department, said that according to the Fire Department,
the property can be served by water, however, the minimum fire protection
standard of 1000 gallons per minute cannot be provided by the present well
system. The Fire Department has said that the property can be served by one-half
or 500 gallons per minute protection if the buildings are sprinkled. Staff is
recommending that the applicant cannot record the plat until documentation is
provided by the Fire Department of the applicant's commitment to provide the
adequate fire protection for the development.
Wishing to be heard was Wade Opius, Bigelow Enterprises. He said that given the
choice of not building or having to sprinkle, they will sprinkle the units. He also said
that since they have hooked up to a system that the City operates and will pay the
hookup fees, they feel that adequate water pressure should be provided.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said if the applicant wants to agree at this
time to Condition #2 in order to continue with the development with the
understanding that if this issue can be resolved through discussions with the Fire
Department and Rochester Public Utilities, the condition can be reconsidered by
the Council at a later date.

Manor Woods North First Subdivision by Forbrook-Bigelow Development.
Wishing to be heard was Allen Miller, 5166 Coventry Lane NW. He said that the
discussions with staff yielded answers to his questions and that he was comfortable
with the project. He said that the hardwood trees now there will be removed but
that another barrier of trees should be placed between the development and
Summerset Hills.
Wishing to be heard was Chirsti Clark, McGhie & Betts, representing the developer.
She said that the developers do agree to placing vegetation/trees along the lots in
question to provide a comfortable barrier due to the grading. The trees can't
interfere with the proposed pond or drainage.
Wishing to be heard was John Schmidt, 4907 Manor Ridge Lane N.W. He said that
his concern is still in the corner of the development. The developer is willing to put
in the necessary barrier for the prevention of drainage but Mr. Schmidt is still
concerned that water may seep into his basement.
Wishing to be heard was Christi Clark, McGhie & Betts, said they will do a careful
walk-through of Lot 16 and if it is proven that additional sedimentation control is
needed, they will file for a revised grading plan for the corner of the property.
Brent Svenby, Planning Department, said that the Council may want to add a
condition requiring the planting of a buffer yard along the west property line
specifying the number and types of trees.
Wishing to be heard was Christi Clark, McGhie & Betts, saying that there is a
standard buffer yard; they would be agreeable to such a standard.
Wishing to be heard was Ward Opius, Bigelow Enterprises, noting that since the
pond and grading will be taking most of the trees, there would be no problem in
requiring a buffer yard.
Brent Svenby, Planning Department, indicated that a Grade A buffer yard requiring
one canopy tree per 100 feet. The outlot is 500 feet so five canopy trees

Mr. DuMond referred to meetings with the City, County, and State personnel
addressing the traffic issue. Discussion included using Traffic Improvement Distric
Funds for three critical intersections enhanced by this development. (Marion Road
and Eastwood Road, 40th Avenue SE and Hwy 14 and Hwy 14 and Marion Road)
Some monies are available in conjunction with other development projects in the
area. Nothing was concluded at these meetings.
Mr. DuMond also stated that they were not in agreement with the change from B-1
to B-5 for the retail area. It was discussed that the area can be zoned B-1 with
specific B-5 standards, which the developer and staff agrees with.
The number of housing units planned for this development was a major issue for
the Council.
Wishing to be heard was Gary Mattison, 3805 20th St SE. He stated he had not
been contacted about this development (outside of his own inquiries) and disagree:
with the proposed access to his property on the GDP, because it prohibits him from
ever developing his property. Another concern was the development east of 40th
Ave. and the increase this may have on taxes. He also asked about the capabilities
of city utilities to service a development of this size along Eastwood Road. It was
explained that this area is being designed to handle development and the
developers with various charges and fees pay the cost.
Wishing to be heard was John Hanlon, 1821 11th Street SW. He stated his prop
and development would be affected by this project if roads were not properly
aligned, causing undeveloped areas on his property to be land -locked. He was
also concerned with the high density of homes proposed for the development.
Wishing to be heard was David Nelson, 2335 40th Ave. SE. He was not against
development but did not want to see retail in this area.
Wishing to be heard was Konnie Smith, 4214 Eastwood Road SE. Her concern
was the traffic at Eastwood and 40th Ave. She feels the development would
increase this and the current intersection is inadequate.
Wishing to be heard was Reed Cowan, 3703 20th St SE. He stated the plan
presented tonight was not the same plan presented at other informational meeting.,
with Yaggy Colby. He was also concerned about the cost of the development and
who would have to take on the burden.
Wishing to be heard was Heather Hahn, 3703 201h St SE. She stated her concern
for the wildlife and the density of homes.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Rieder, 1069 Golfer's Court SE. He stated the lack
of infrastructure has been a major concern for not only the residents but for the city
staff and planning committee. Mr. Rieder stated he could not see the public
purpose for establishing this Special District as it is proposed. His other concern
was the misinformation presented by Yaggy at the neighborhood meeting about the
number of homes, size and scope of the development.

Wishing to be heard was Jim Smith, 105 Golden Gate Avenue, Belvedere,
California. Mr. Smith represented a partnership with three lots abutting 11th

Avenue S.W. He said that, from the materials he has read over the past several
weeks, the problem is too much truck traffic on 111h Avenue entering and exiting
County Road 16. Mr. Smith said that his property is leased to an RV dealership
whose clients come off TH 63, onto County Road 16 and onto 11th Avenue. If the
intersection is closed, they will need to go around the block on LC Drive S.W.
These are two lots developable and they plan to develop the third lot within the next
several years. Those lots would also need access. In 1989-1991 LC Industrial
Park was created by Olmsted County. In order to make a legal intersection at
County Road 16 and 11th Avenue, the County said the street intersection had to be
moved 66 feet to the west. He was told at that time that it was a legal intersection.
Mr. Smith has talked with MnDot and was told that upgrading the TH 63 off -ramp is
not in MnDot's 20-year plan. The Olmsted County Engineer, Mike Sheehan, has
told him that it's not in the County's 5-year CIP. Mr. Sheehan said the Airport
development may have some effect what does happen after the five years due to
the possible closure or realignment of County Road 16. Mr. Smith noted the
reasons the City has requested 11th Avenue S.W. be closed. (1) It is sub -standard
(which Mr. Smith disagrees with). (2) It will be changed when the off -ramp of TH
63 and the bridge is updated. (3) Increased safety problems. Mr. Smith noted that
since 1998 there has been one accident at the corner of 11th Avenue and County
Road 16. He said that the big issue is that Waste Management will be constructing
a transfer station that will increase the density of heavy-duty truck traffic. He asked
that the Council not approve the closure of 111h Avenue at this time. Waste
Management, under an agreement with the City, will have to use LC Drive to enter
onto County Road 16. Other business he had talked with did not have a problem
with using the same route for their heavy-duty trucks. He asked the Council to
allow 111h Avenue to remain open for lighter traffic such as cars and pickups and
restrict heavy truck use rather than constructing a cul-de-sac that may have to be
removed in approximately five years. Mr. Smith asked that in the future property
owners be noticed for any hearing that would close this intersection.
Wishing to be heard was William A. Fitzgerald, 2505 Lennox Court S.W.,
representing MTB Properties, owner of the parcel of land in the northwest corner of
the intersection. He agreed with the comments made by Mr. Smith. Mr. Fitzgerald
said that they purchased their property in July 2001. They were unaware of the
pending closure at the time of purchase. He referenced materials sent by him to
the Council noting the problems that the City of Minneapolis had with a similar
matter. Mr. Fitzgerald noted that if they would put a business on their property,
people are not going to drive the length of LC Drive to get to the business. He had
solutions to the problem. (1) Reconsider the decision to close the intersection of
111h Avenue and County Road 16. (2) Check with Olmsted County to see if an
agreement can be reached to close the intersection if the County will give access to
County Road 16 to Mr. Smith and Mr. Fitzgerald. (3) Change the truck traffic to LC
Drive.
Wishing to be heard was Richard Merkley, 6010 11th Avenue S.W. He also wanted
to note that he had received no prior notice of the hearing. Mr. Merkley noted that
he is a resident along 11th Avenue S.W. for the last 9 years; he has seen a
tremendous increase of vehicle traffic along 11th Avenue S.W. Along with the
development, there have been improvements to the street over those years. He fell

that 111h Avenue S.W. is a vital artery to the southwest corridor which has been
heavily developed. If the intersection is closed, a tremendous safety issue will be
caused.
Wishing to be heard was Steve Yaggy, owner of a business and new residence on
11th Avenue S.W. He said that he uses the intersection on a continual basis each
day with a semi, car and pickup. He noted that "if not broken, don't fix it" was the
philosophy he follows. He said the intersection is not dangerous and is the slowest
point in all of County Road 16. The alternate route of LC Drive will allow cars to go
much higher speeds. Mr. Yaggy also said that the alternate route will not provide
enough road for eastbound trucks to accelerate up to speed or to get a truck safely
off County Road 16. He was not opposed to only cars using 11th Avenue and all
truck traffic using LC Drive.
Wishing to be heard was William A. Fitzgerald, 2505 Lennox Court S.W. He asked
Public Works to keep in mind that if the trucks use the alternate route, they will be
traveling a greater distance on County Road 16 and would be traveling a greater
speed. Her said that acceleration lanes or right -turn lanes might be a good idea.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

A Hearing on Land Subdivision Permit #02-41 by Hawkridge, LLC to be known as
Hawk Ridge located west of 22"d Avenue SE, east of 20th Avenue SE and south of
Pinewood Road SE.
Wishing to be heard was Harvey Ratzloff, 4402 Sixth Street N.W., part owner of
Hawkridge LLC. He showed the General Development Plan to be known as Hawk
Ridge. He said that water comes from the top of the hill in Schoenfelder's 2nd
Addition and flows into the back yards of residents. They plan to eliminate the
water flow through catch basins into several areas. They are agreeing to all of the
conditions except condition #5. Mr. Bigelow is asking that condition #5 be changed
to read "building permits shall be phased" keeping the same ADT. The change
would allow them to work the market building units in demand rather than all the
same type of units at one time.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, asked if they could do multiple final plats on the
property. She noted that phasing of the building permits does not allow for the
Planning Department to track them and they have consistently objected to such
phasing in. It was noted that the phasing in process has not been used or agreed
to in the past.
Gary Neumann, Assistant City Administrator, said that either Building or Safety or
Administration will track the units.
Wishing to be heard was Steve Bailey, 2504 22nd Avenue S.E. He asked the size
of the storm sewer. He said that storm sewer will run into the ditch. In the past, the
ditch has overflowed into the street.
Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, operates at 7.5 CFM volume of water
coming through the pipe at the current time. There are different alternatives for
runoff that are being worked at this time with Mr. Bigelow's company.

why there were two roads into the park area.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, noted that the one road was for the maintenanc(

all the housing being taken in the southeast area. These are affordable starter
homes for many individuals. Mr. Bilderback said that southeast Rochester is being
turned into a parking lot. He asked the Council to preserve the older neighborhoods
and the affordable homes in them.

Councilmember Senjem arrived at 8:27 P.M.
Wishing to be heard was Pastor Norman Wahl, 2100 Alice Lane N.W. He said
that the Church is passionate about being a good neighbor. They are a regional
church with a strong base in the neighborhood. They host many groups,
self-help support groups and group activities from the neighborhood. While the
architect suggested that leaving the neighborhood was one of the possibilities, they
are committed to southeast Rochester and plan to stay there.
Wishing to be heard was Roger Nelson, 856 Fifth Avenue S.E. He noted his
agreement with the comments from Mark Bilderback on the issue of too many
parking lots and the loss of the houses. He also felt that other alternatives and
options could yet be explored such as parking across Third Avenue at the K-Mart Ic
or the Hawthorne School lot on Fourth Avenue. The walking distance would be no
greater than the distance from the proposed parking lot to the church.
Wishing to be heard was Chris Zabel, 4120 Valley Drive N.W. Mr. Zabel said that
the present parking arrangement with K-Mart has allowed them to use the lot free c
charge. However, liability issues are a concern if someone is hurt in the K-Mart lot
as well as the Hawthorne School lot. Walking across Third Avenue is very
dangerous even with the stop lights provided. People want to cross as close as
possible and sometimes do so in the middle of the block. The first design of the
parking lot was for 300 spaces. The neighborhood residents and City said put in
buffers and landscaping. They did so and feel that they have met the needs of botl
as well as the people they serve.
Wishing to be heard was Gary Gruhl, 841 215t Street S.E., President of Bethel
Church. He said that the process was not easy for Bethel to go through. The long-
range plan was well thought out. The church was mortgaged to be able to buy the
houses on the land. They chose to stay in the southeast area of the City and
continue their ministry and mission there.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.

Mike Nigbur, Public Works Department, said that he spoke with the developer, Mr.
Payne. The 150-foot restriction is dependent upon the traffic coming out of the cul-
de-sac. If the banking drive -through or fast-food drive-in are not put in the
development, the controlled access can be cut to 75 feet. A development
agreement would need to be amended for that purpose.

would like to build a garage at this time on the extra lot to be used for accessory
storage. He has already poured a slab; he said he was told that there was no
permit needed for a slab. He does not want to homestead the property as it would
cost him $1600 to have it surveyed which would cause a hardship.

she owns a total of three lots in the subdivision. She is opposed to the variance for
Mr. Jereczek. Ms. Miller said that he and his sons would be storing cars in the
accessory garage. She felt that the property may become unslightly.

NW and along the west side of 50th Avenue NW.
Wishing to be heard was Carol Galde, 5247 Lexington Place N.W., representing the
neighbors in Lexington Place. She noted that although the proposed development
is less that one-half block from Lexington Place, none of the neighbors in her area
were notified. Ms. Galde said that their backyards face 55th Street and so the
development is essentially in their backyards. She was opposed to the
development saying that there are ample retail and office buildings in the area and
there is a shopping mall less than one mile away; another strip mall is not needed.
She was opposed to apartments and row houses saying that the neighbors are
afraid the housing will be low income and bring many problems to the area. Mr.
Galde said that she and her neighbors were aware that something would be built
across 551h Street but assumed that it would be single-family home neighborhoods.
Wishing to be heard was Amy Adams, 5259 Lexington Place N.W. Ms. Adams said
that one of the main concerns was the lack of notification of the proposed
development. She said that the literature says business district and/or apartments.
She asked when it was decided what the development would be, when it was built?
Mayor Canfield answered that when you have an intersection of two arterials, you
are allowed to put some type of business there. She said that the Douglas Trail is
located there as well as some holding ponds or lakes being built. She wondered if
the Trail and ponds would be maintained for all.
Wishing to be heard was Andy Masterpole, McGhie & Betts, representing the
developer. He said that the special district is needed because it is a unique area.
There are two main arterial roads, a bike trail, two large churches and the possibility
of a grade school. He said it is a great spot for a town center, a mixed -use area,
specific types of uses and building setbacks. Mr. Masterpole described the area as

owner -occupied condos, not apartments, some retail under some of the condos,
angle parking off 55th Street within a landscaped area. There would be no single-
family homes. All condos will be affordable, market rate structures providing a
diverse housing area. The lake to the north will provide the focal point of the
development. Bigelow has not et bought the entire area bordered by 55th Street
on the north, 50th Street and 60' Avenue and the Douglas Trail. The remainder of
the land would be single-family houses with a smattering of condos and
townhomes.
Wishing to be heard was Mike Paradise, Bigelow Enterprises, Byron. He assured
the Council that the development was not low-income but rather owner -occupied
affordable condos. He said the market is demanding this type of housing for peoplE
that don't want to mow lawns but homes that are priced the same as other homes
down the road. There will be an active association and professional landscapers
will care for the area. Condos will be built over the retail stores. Rather than lower
the price of the homes in the surrounding neighborhoods, it is thought that this
development will raise the value of homes.
Wishing to be heard was Amy Adams, 5259 Lexington Place N.W. She said that
she was glad she had attended the hearing this evening as it gave her a different
perspective on the proposed development.
Brent Svenby, Planning Department, noted that in addition to property owners

Michael Younge will be developing. Mr. DuMond noted agreement with the

Wishing to be heard was Fritz Kvaternik, 3682 Nottingham Drive N.W. He said that
the property being discussed is directly to the south of his lot. On the south side of
the cul-de-sac is a large area that has been flooded for the last two years and
resembles a lake in nature. If a significant grade change is going to take place to
clear the problem, where is the water going to go. His lot is a lower elevation than
the property that is flooded.
Wishing to be heard was Scott Salmon, 3676 Nottingham Drive N.W. Mr. Salmon
said that the developer left a large pile of dirt right behind his backyard. He has
tried to contact the developer but has not been successful. The dirt has caused a
mudslide which has taken about six feet of his property. Behind the dirt pile is a
large amount of water. He was concerned all summer about possible danger to hi;
children.

Wishing to be heard was Chuck Sheffield, 4733 Common Place. He has had
problems reaching the developer, Michael Younge, to ask him to remove Canadian
Thistles from the property. The City finally reached the developer and had the
problem corrected. They have had an on -going water problem behind his lot.
There is a natural waterway along the tree line called a flume. There is an 8-foot
elevation difference between his property and the water that has pooled into a lake.
The soil under the concrete flume was undermined at one time. His concern is
what the developer plans to do with the water problems.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy-Colby Associates. He said that
currently the substantial land alteration is very small piece of property that will be
graded. A lot of spoil piles were left when the well -way was graded previously and
is the reason for the substantial land alteration; to bring the pile back down. He
indicated that he is not aware of how much was graded out before. The water does
have to drain into the drainageway to the Carriage Homes development pond. The
pipes have been sized to handle the flow. He was unaware of the undermining of
the flume.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the Lincolnshire Fifth Subdivision
grading plan indicates that along the rear lot line of those homes fronting on
Nottingham Drive are drainage and easements, a storm sewer shown running
along the rear lot line. The storm sewer will collect and convey stormwater runoff to
the east and into the storm water pond. The street elevation of the cul-de-sac in
the Lincolnshire Fifth Subdivision is approximately ten feet higher than the rear lot
lines of the homes fronting Nottingham. The homes to be built on the cul-de-sac
appear to be designated at an elevation approximately six feet higher than and the
existing homes. The flume, constructed as a part of Lincolnshire Third, has been
corrected. Prior to any homes being built, the water will need to be pumped out of
the area and water and storm sewer and utilities have to be installed. Mr. Freese
stated that now would be a better time to install storm sewers and other utilities
before the weather causes the pond to freeze and results in further problems in the
spring.
Wishing to be heard was Fritz Kvaternik, 3682 Nottingham Drive N.W. He asked
the Councilmembers to make sure that they look at the pond before they decide to
do anything. He said that the pond is approximately 480 feet length and 50 feet
wide.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, suggested a possible 4th condition that
would read: "The applicant agrees to amend the grading plan to the City
Engineer's satisfaction if the Department determines an amendment is necessary."
Wishing to be heard was Dianne Ryberg, 3567 Arbor Drive N.W. She asked the
Council to please approve the plat. She is hoping to build a new home in the new
subdivision in the spring.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, asked that the following language be added to
the suggested 41h condition to read: "The plat be revised to accommodate
additional easements if necessary as determined by revisions to the grading plan."

Steve Kvenvold, City Administrator, gave a brief overview of the recommended
budget for 2003 showing the expenditures contained within and made reference to
a handout providing further information on the expenditures. The recommended
budget is $147,946,790 with property taxes of $24,813.53 recommended to assist
in the funding of the proposed expenditures. He stated that the recommended
property tax is $281,539 less than the maximum 2003 property tax currently
established by the legislature. Mr. Kvenvold also noted that $3,000,000 of the
recommended property tax will be used for funding 2003 capital improvement
projects and $1,000,000 is to be transferred from the General Fund's undesignated
reserves to assist in the capital funding projects. Mr. Kvenvold stated that the only
positions he is recommending to be filled are four new police officers to be placed
in the four public middle schools.
Wishing to be heard was John Reynolds, 3524 Sixth Place N.W. He noted that he
has looked at the past three years of the City's budget. He said that there are
some areas of concern that may need to be addressed in future years. He
expressed interest in a budget committee for the 2004 budget.
Wishing to be heard was Conrad Sinke, 4102 41st Place N.W. Mr. Sinke noted that
he has been attending all budget hearings. One concern is that he is on a fixed
income. He receives no increase except for social security. He asked the City
Council to look prudently at the budget to see if something can be reduced further.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
President Hunziker noted that there will be another budget hearing on December
16th at which time the Council will vote on the recommended 2003 budget.
A Hearing on Type III, Phase II Restrictive Development #02-54 Preliminary Plan
by Paul Myhrom to construct a two-story retail business at 2311 South Broadway.
Wishing to be heard was Lisa Weisner, 3131 East River Road N.E. She said that
at the Zoning Commission meeting, the concerns of the Commission and neighbors
were taken into consideration and re -addressed. One of the big concerns was
parking. She presented a revised site plan showing a reduced size of the shop
from 48'x44' to 40'x44', moving the building and parking back to the south which
reduced the amount of parking from 11 to 5 spaces as required by code. She
noted that one of the neighborhood concerns was that patrons would need to back
out of the driveway directly into the street; they can now back around and come out
into the street. The set -back for the building is moved back further than the existing
house. Ms. Weisner said that the existing trees are where the building will sit; they
will be replanted.
Wishing to be heard was Robert Riggs, 2307 TH63 South. Mr. Riggs lives next
door to the north of Mr. Myhrom. He stated that he is opposed to a business being
constructed in a residential neighborhood. TH 63 is the buffer between the
commercial property on the east and the residential on the west. He said that there
is a bike shop that has gone out of business and the space is presently available

only eight blocks away. He said that the neighbors are opposed to the parking and
the additional traffic that will be on the road as a result of the business.
Wishing to be heard was Randy Staver, 2707 Century Lane N.E., a member of the
Planning and Zoning Commission. He stated that their concern with the plan was
the encroachment of the parking into the right-of-way. He felt that this issue has
now been addressed.
Wishing to be heard was Paul Myhrom, 2311 South Broadway, applicant and oA
of Honest Bike Shop. Mr. Myhrom was available for questions from the Council.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, noted that they have looked at the
proposed changes in the Plan only this evening. He said that it appears that the
parking has been moved out of the right-of-way. The driveway opening width has
not been reduced. A variance would need to be granted.
Mitzi Baker, Planning Department, said that there are still questions on the site plan
that need to be addressed. Those questions are the parking and calculations, the
floor plan change and reducing retail shop that affect the parking required, the
building elevation appearance change, and the curb cut would require a variance
as well as setback from the right-of-way to the parking area.
Phil Wheeler, Planning Department, said that the Council needs to address whether
it meets the compatibility of the neighborhood objectives and then refer to staff to
address those needs.
Councilmember Hanson suggested that Mr. Myhrom meet with the neighbors to
discuss the revised site plan.
Councilmembers also felt that the staff should be given an opportunity to study the
revised plan to make sure that there are no other concerns that should be
addressed.
Councilmembers Senjem moved, Stobaugh seconded, to reopen the hearing and
continue to the January 6, 2003, meeting. Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.
E-3 A Hearing on Proposed Special District #13 to be known as the Mayo Support
Campus by Mayo Clinic located north of 415t Street NW, east of West Circle Drive
and south and west of the Douglas Trail.
Wishing to be heard was Jack Jibben, Mayo Facilities Project Services. He stated
that items E-3 and E-4 would be presented simultaneously on the proposed zoning
for a 57-acre parcel formerly known as the Western Technology Ditigal Center and
an amendment to the land use plan from medium density residential to the
medical/institutional zone. The land is currently zoned R-1 with a restrictive
development agreement with Western Digital and the City. In order for Mayo to do
anything, rezoning needs to happen because the agreement is built out. The

Item
special use approach was selected at the recommendation of the City staff. The
M-1 zone did not fit the criteria for Mayo and, thus, the reason for the special
district. The special district places additional restrictions beyond the M-1 zone. Mr.
Jibben said that Mayo does not have a particular project in mind. The timeframe for
development is 25 to 40 years before the area would be completely built out. The
special district would not be geared around patients but for support personnel. Mr.
Jibben said that they are required to have a neighborhood meeting; they have had
two prior to meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission. A required meeting
was held on October 30, 2002, at the Mayo Support Center. A third meeting was to
be held after the Planning and Zoning Commission because of the number of
persons opposed to the special district. However, the neighborhood association
cancelled the meeting. He noted that some of the building construction by Western
Digital is not acceptable by Mayo. There is a very noisy fan which is being repaired
at the present time. There are lights that were left on throughout the evening which
have disturbed the neighbors. The building will be operated by Mayo on a 8:00 AM
to 5:00 PM schedule. Blinds will be installed to shield the lights if employees are
using the facility after hours. Mayo would come back to the Council every ten years
for approval of their project plans.
Wishing to be heard was John Waugh, Ellerbe Becket, gave a power -point
presentation. He also noted that the project won't be built for 25-50 years. They
will locate non -essential functions out of the City core area. The area is presently
zoned R-1 with M-1 and M-2 and B-2 and B-4 surrounding the property. The total
height for the building would be five stories on the east side and four stories on the
west side. Parking would be constructed in a similar fashion. The previously -
approved agreement precludes adding any additional landscaping on the site.
They will be limiting the development to about two-thirds medium density housing
would allow; 1.2 million square feet. There are already 277,000 square feet built on
the site. Upon looking at the planning, the setback will be 100 feet rather than 50
feet. A minimum of 40 percent open space would be left with additional
landscaping added to buffer the Douglas Trail.
Wishing to be heard was Russ Stammer, 3645 Arbor Drive N.W. He thanked Mayo
for the slide presentation as it helped him understand the project better. Mr.
Stammer is secretary of the Neighborhood Association but is representing only
himself tonight. He said that he would support the Mayo project if the building
height is kept to 35 or 38 feet rather than 75 feet. After the Planning and Zoning
meeting, a survey was put together which showed that 90% of the residents are not
in support of the current proposal. It also showed that 96% support the special
district if the height restriction remains at the R-3 height, the setback from the
Douglas Trail is 100 feet, and a plan review process is retained for the site for
compliance with noise, light and compliance with the master plan. A review is
needed for each phase, not necessarily for the mechanics or structural system, but
related to issues such as called for in the Master Plan and issues that would impact
surrounding properties.
Wishing to be heard was Dan Hoffman, 4207 Arbor Lane N.W. He wanted to
congratulate the Mayo staff on their presentation and the work that they have been
doing since the Planning and Zoning meeting. At the Planning and Zoning meeting,

one of the Planning and Zoning members asked one of the staff if they could ask
the applicant to go back and revise their plan. Staff was unable to answer the
question. The City Attorney present was asked the same question to which was
responded that she was not able to answer the question at that time. Mr. Hoffman
said it is the job of the Planning and Zoning Commission to ask questions and can
ask for a revision. He said little comment was made on the fact that communication
towers, ambulance garages and some patient services could be on this site. The
fan noise has been irritating and the glare from the lights at night is irritating. The
Douglas Trail, grass trail, is only two to three feet from the right-of-way of the Mayo
property. No other buildings in the area are five to six stories tall.
Wishing to be heard was Joel Wagar, representing the Department of Natural
Resources. He said that the Douglas Trail is a ten -foot wide blacktop trail with an
eight to ten -foot wide grass trail between the paved trail and the Mayo property.
Since the Western Digital property was completed there has been additional storm
water runoff from the parking area that has caused erosion and ponding in the trail
area. He said that a 100-foot setback would be very responsible. He urged that
the plantings be started now rather than later if they are serious to do screening.
Wishing to be heard was Mary Petersson, 809 19`h Street N.E. Ms. Petersson is a
member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. She said that she voted against
the Mayo plan because it did not contain a review process. If a public review
process was put in place, she could support it.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Utz, 21 First Street S.W., spoke on behalf of
neighbors of the development, Alton and Louise Shefelbine. The Shefelbines
wanted people to know that Mayo has been a good neighbor and has listened and
were sensitive to their concerns.
Wishing to be heard was Bill Alward, 3639 Arbor Drive N.W. He noted his support
of the plan. He asked that some changes be made in the height of the project
lowering it to the current height. He asked that there be additional setback along
West Creek Drive and the Douglas Trail. Mr. Alward also wants Mayo to come
back to the Planning and Zoning Commission with any new development.
Having no one further wishing to be heard, President Hunziker closed the hearing.
Phil Wheeler, Planning Director, said that the present process for review would
include a two -week review by staff and other agencies but would not include a
public hearing before the Council. He stated that if the zoning is left as R-3, there
would be a hearing each time something is proposed for the project. The medical
district downtown has a five-year plan review. This special district has a ten-year
review which could be shortened.
Councilmember McConnell said that even though he is a strong supporter of the
Mayo Clinic, he cannot support the special district zoning. The main issue of the
opposition is the height of the buildings next to a residential neighborhood. The
height issue should have been settled by the standard of the accepted height of the
present building. He asked that the height and plan be revised before approval.

First Street NW.
Wishing to be heard was Glenn Faith, 1004 First Street N.W. Mr. Faith explained
that he wants to build the garage to be compatible with the design of the 1917
home that he is restoring. Compatibility would mean that the garage roof would
need a 1 Oft x 12ft roof pitch which is not approved under City Code. He asked that
the Council grant the variance needed.

A Hearing on Zoning District Amendment #02-12 by Century Pointe, LLC to be
known as Century Point Townhomes located on the north and south side of the
access roadway into the Century Hills Development.
Wishing to be heard was Wade DuMond, Yaggy Colby Associates, representing the
developer. He noted that he will be addressing item E-7 as well. The main issue
that the Planning Commission had was that the zone change did not meet the
criteria. He said that the property is in two pieces, north and south, with Century
Hills abutting the northern portion. At the present time there is a temporary road
out to East Circle Drive from the north portion. There was a question as to whether
the piece of property abutting Century Hills should be R-2. The applicant has now
amended the original petition to zone this area to R-1x on the north while still
retaining R-2 on the south portion. The change to R-1x would reduce the density
from 9 units per acre to 5'/z units per acre. Mr. DuMond said that there was a
question on how the houses on Oakview would relate to the new development.
The elevation would remain the same regardless of townhomes or single family
units. The secondary portion of the Century Hills access wi!I be paved. There will
remain 500 feet that is not a portion of the project that will not be a finished road.
Mr. DuMond said that the southern portion of the site will be limited to 60 units to
reduce the traffic. The trees that are existing on the northern portion of the property
and provide a buffer will be saved if possible. They are in agreement with all six
conditions to the plan. There are no wetlands on the south half and those on the
north still are undergoing investigation.
Wishing to be heard was Brian Hodge, 2605 Oakview Lane N.E. Mr. Hodge said
that his property adjoins the north property line of the north development. Mr.
DuMond has addressed the saving of the oak trees that they have directly behind
them. He said that the oak trees are their only buffer. The R-2 gives the developer
more latitude for marketing the property on the south. He would like to see the
north side stay as R-1.
Wishing to be heard was David Voller. He is concerned with the traffic volumes
and patterns on Viola Drive. He is concerned with the access onto East Center
Drive for emergency vehicles and regular traffic. Mr. Voller is also concerned that
they may lose their south turn access onto East Circle Drive at some point as is
happening further to the north. He said that volumes in the density matters. The
north section should remain as R1 and the south section should be R-1x.
Wishing to be heard was Glen Sturchio, 1653 Century Hills Drive N.E. His concern
was what the Planning Commission talked about as Type I reviews as well as Type
II and III with the density increasing. The only requirement is that they come back
to a higher level of review. Since there might be a change in the number of units in
the north section under R-1x, which goes up to 15 units per acre, the developer will
just come back and ask for that with the potential it will be granted. Mr. Sturchio
said that he fears that the developer will not stipulate a minimum number of units in
the north acreage as they have in the south portion as 60. He also pointed out the
denial by the Planning Commission for the move from R-1.

Wishing to be heard was Karen Petersen, 910 23`d Avenue S.W., a representative
of the Baihly Wood Preservation Committee. She noted that she is one of 15
owners with some land adjoining the property. There are approximately ten acres
of land donated to the Minnesota Land Trust with the stipulation that the land is left

Wishing to be heard was Eline Knutson, 802 23`d Avenue S.W. He asked if the

Wishing to be heard was Rene Lawson, 430 Fifth Street S.W. Mr. Lawson told the
Council he felt that he should not be responsible for the damage to the sidewalk
caused by a tree root in the boulevard. He said that he did not plant the tree, the
City did and they were responsible. Mr. Lawson also noted that his curb has
disintegrated and the City should be replacing that as well.
Richard Freese, Public Works Director, said that the policy of the City is to charge
the landowner when a sidewalk needs replacing. The policy has also been not to
charge a homeowner if a repair is needed within ten years and a pro -rated charge if
the repair is needed between 11-20 years. He said that he would have the history
of the sidewalk checked to see what past reconstruction had occurred. Mr. Freese
will check the curb in front of the property to determine the age of that as well.
