Street. Improvements on.10th St. S. E. West of 15th Avenue S. E. J. Andre
N O• B.. (Penz)
- --
This is:a hearing on the f ollowing 'improvement project:
"grading and surfacing of loth St. S. E. from 15th Ave. S.-E.
.Westerly for a length of 470 feet abutting .the -Elks Club property
on the North side, -and the unplatted Penz, property on the South
side." ,.
This project would terminate at the east side of the Park property
which is 220-feet east of Bear Creek.
This -improvement was petitioned ini.1969 by Carlton Penz; and a
hearing'was held on March 17; 1969. No one was heard and.6 motion
was passed to proceed with the project;
Because the -preliminary cost estimate in 1969 was grossly inade-
quate and that more than a -year has.lapsed since the hearing, the
City Engineer recommended that another hearing -be held on this
improvement.
At the Public Works Committee June 29, 1970, Carlton. Penz indicated
that he would like to have the improvement project abandoned and
the street vacated instead. The committee would favor a petition
to vacate this portion of 10th'-Street S. E. if Penz would assure
permanent access to -the Water Dept°s— well house and park property.
The Committee.further recommended that the hearing on July 8, 1970,
be continued to August 3, 1970. By this time, Penz will know if
he is going to pursue this vacation.
On July 8, 1970, the Council voted to continue the hearing until Auc"ust
3, 1970. Mr. Penz has indicated that he will appear at the 8-3-70
Council meeting and request that this improvement project be. abandoned.

..J:.Andre
This is a hearing-for.the Council•to consider a.petition to change.
the zoning'districting on"the' Grindlay- property N. [d. from R-1 'to.R-3.
This petition was -considered. by the'Planning and Zoning Commission
on'January 12; 1970.-The'Planning Commissmion stated that this hilltop -
area would be'a suitable location for multi -family land use, and that.:
such ai,proposed use would -also tend to make the development of"this-
area e'conomicaIly feasib,ie,. They therefore recommended that -the .
petition be granted approval.
-"
On January 19; 1970; the, -Council ref el"red_this matte"r tb the P.W.C.
to look into the. matter of vehicular access to the hilltop"
.The Public Works:Committee felt that the -problems associated with.
:
this access drive, in terms of construction costs, maintenance, and
liability, are beyond the`.obligat.ons-that should be assumed by the
public, 'streets system and. therefore recommend that this access drive
be considered as a private. drive."
Council Action Requested:.
If the Council decides to change the zoning -districting, it---
should-instruct the.City Attorney to* prepare the n-ecessary
ordinance; • . - - : _ :

Because these three app
lications are concerned With the same parcel of land,.

liT..qin-ary plat -are -also being considered alon'with the apartment plan and
approval of all three applications as well. as i. future. final plat Will be-,
necessary before the• project could be built.
This I? r 01) e r ty - is- the locat-io'n of an abandoned rock qLj,.irry and, es such,• has
, -
:a very rugged terrain. To develop the 'property for any use is undoubtedly
going to involve major construction costs -and therefore, it could be argued,-
L it is unreasonablefor the City 'to' limit the area to single-fariiiily ;ellings.
The elevation of- the property is high and it provides an exciting scenic
overlook of the dity. -
Before construction of any -kind w 111 be allowed here it will- first bd
'necessary f or_- a Iii-Ii level water tower to be built. Such a tower -.is currently
being considered by 'Llie city and a re'port (City Project No. 6901). -'07,1s;

-
".1and
that willrequire extraordiiiary iorkto riae sui.table -
for development" and
the report Went on to predict tllb,t-' it Would not be devdloped- i-,,ithin
the -- next ten years. wBy.dcveloping this Iroperty' to the extent- proposed
-here and'at a much sooner date` than' originally- contemp.Tated, i.t wciuld
,seem. t.ci-us that the planning of the proposed water tOper project- on the
-Arnold ')ronerty can be -more efficiently handled.
�ppZiCation for Re7.on'ing:
..If this application for rezon .nry to - -the 3 Zone is approved and if: an.
apartment structure is -built here, this department feels that such ,'a
change would not prove to.be detrimental, to the .properties adjacent- to
it, , The, .rather unique c} arctel"i-StiCS Of. t}ir properLy such as. its elevated
overlook of. .the city, roui;h topograpt}i"c colidi.tion and steep slopes �'niCh
make it hard ,to- facilitate street- l_oca.tions, all tend to .indicate that
-the proper.ty'is best -suited for multi -family use. and not single family -
use. For, these reasons we feel. thAt the proposed zone -change from :R-1
to.R-3 could be approved,
Community Devel.00ment Project flan:
The plan shown' here- proposa-s-_ that 280 apartment units will. be constructed- -
on' a 20 acre -site.- This averages- out.to be over 3,100 sgnare feet per
apartment unit-.wlgiCh, ismore than tc•ri.ce the minilnuh; area -per. -unit- require=
ment or. the,City's 7.onin- Ordinance. In. addition: to this,- a total of 426
parkin° stalls (392'i-ndoor and 70 outdoor) are proposed which -also far
exceeds -the city's minimum requi'r.e-L-.Ient of one stall: per apartment unit. -
We feel that both of - these proposed- ctensities -are more than adequate" and
as such should nrov.b to he. acceptable There are, however, SGVeYaI t}17,I1gS
i' about this proposed plan which sliould' receive f-ur'ther consideration.
-1 These are
(1) The roadways that lean] betwben -the parking areas shoran- here .
are, •only twenty feet wide which we don't feel. is. sufficient .
Width for two-way traffic, especially -if- fire fia,hting. equip
men t riust ,male use of them,. _ These. should be. widened. t'o at -least
: twenty -sip, feet..
(2) The- structure proposed here comes within twenty feet of the
south -property line. This, should- be changed" so that . the
building is at least, -five .feet from al]- property' lines..
(3) If -)' —'sic�al-ly possible perhaps another vehicalor access paint
at.the center of the apartment structure should -be provided. "
.'Preliminary Plat:
The preliminary plat proposed here shows access to -.the property comi"n� '
from l-9th. Street N;id,- which is definitely.- more Iles"irable than having; the
traffic channeled through the Indian Heights area to the west and south.
The proposed roadvay is :only sixty feet in width, due- to petitioners -
".917ning only a sixty foot lot fronting- on 19th Street N.Wd Although we
would like to see all catty streets be at ].east 66.feet in- width, -time
conditions under which this particular street WOL.1..1d be developed, limit
. it -to sixty feet -and we find this'to be acceptable.
No :9l)j-ections or request for utility. easement-s have been received from
.any' of: the public or. private utility .dep�.;r.tmerits, however, due to the
,fact'that .the exact loc.jt:ions for all the .uti.lit.y services have. IioL yet .
been determined, the need for additional easements may develop before
the final plat is prepared. If such needs do arise, we feel the City
should make provisions for diem to be added at a later- time.
Conclusion:*
I•Ie find that all three of these -applications are in order- to be recommended
for approval., subject to the three problems associated with the co :muni.ty
development project plan being, resolved and subject to provision being
made for -additional easements on the final plat -if such easements are later
determined to be heeded.

Rochester;: Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Accompanying this. letter is-a"_oetition signed by certain citizens of.
: Northwest Rochester protesting the proposed -zone change of the Grindley
property from RI to R3.
I -would ,also like to -ask;'that you consi der some of my personal vievrpoints
regarding this matter. When we purchased our present residence, we were
j assured this would -remain in a,strictly residential single family dwelling.
I area classification..- As I understand it,: the proposed'apartment•dwelling .
unit could house 480 families. I wonderif you .have' considered that this
1 is more than'ten times the normal..p.opulation density for the area of land
considered. This population density increases the deprivatiori'of natural
r resources', not. just for my, family but .for all the families involved, in
\ :creases traffic problems., etc-.
Needless. to, say; I'would not` have, purchased the property I now have if
this apartment complex had -been in existence. -Progressive change which
-would include parks or single family units would be welcome, but if'forced:
to accept.this-radical plan,, I fear:it will be a continuous source of
irritation.for many of'us.:
Please consider, as representatives of the people of Rochester; that you
have a responsibility far-protecting.those-of us_who are. already home-
owners in.this area. Please consider our petition and be -prepared to '
answer -our questions..
I'made an attempt to achieve a,postponement of the hearing, but this; .I was
-told, eras- not possible'. Prior plans makeit' impossible for me to attend

APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE TO USE A RESIDENCE AS A REAL ESTATE OFF ICE LOCATED ON
LOT > BLOC_{ 2, VALHALLA FOURTH SUBDIVISION
We have reviewed that above petition and find the following:
I. Name of Applicant: G. L. Pierce, Metro Development Company
2. Reason for Application: I am requesting -permission to build a house with a
double car garage attached'to the house -for the purpose of an office until
such time all of the lots are sold in the Valhalla Third Subdivision...We feel
1 -
we need an office in this location because this is where the -traffic will be
'to get to our Third Subdivision. This also will then eliminate our -Valhalla.
temporary building on the corner of Elton Hills Drive & Viking Drive.
3. City Plannim, DeUartment:
General: The property in question is presently vacant but the applicant desires
to construct a new residence on the lot and use the double garage for a real
estate office. The Zoning Ordinance makes provision to permit certain profes-
sional -offices as an -accessory use to the occupants residence in an R-1 Distract
as follows:
21.02 ACCESSORY USES: .Accessory uses or structures permitted and as regulated
in -the R- District, and any accessory use or structure customarily inci-
dent or accessory to a principal or conditional permitted-u'se in the R-1
:District; except thatthe rais-ing or keeping"of farm animals shall not-
---':be permitted on any lands used or platted for residential purposes.
21.021 Professional Offices: The office'or studio in -the residence of an
architect, artist, dentist, engineer, lasiyer, physician, teacher, or
.,other member of a. recognized profession, but not including beauty parlors,
barber shops,.schools.of any kind with organized classes'or similar
activity, except pre-school nurseries; provided that not more than one-
half (k) of the floor area of one (1). floor of the &,elling-is devoted
to.such'accessory use, that not' more than one (1) person not a resident
of the premise is employed, that no such use shall require structural
alterstions or involve construction featu;•es.not customary in dwellings,
and that the entrance to such office or.stuido -shall be from within the
dwelling.
21.022 Home.-Occunations:. Customary home occupations, such as handicrafts, dress-
making, millinery, -laundry, preserving and home cooking; provided -that
such occupation shall be conducted exclusively by resident. occupants,,' that
not more than ore --quarter.(,.) of the:area of one (1) floor of said residence
sha11 be used for such purpose, that no structural alterations or construe-:
tion involving features not customarily found in dwellings,arerequired,.and
that the entrance.:to the space devoted to such use shall be from within th-e
dwelling.
The primary question involves an interpretation of what is considered a profession_.
All of the source material that we have available indicates that zoning authorities
tend toward the learned professions.
r
Findam s: „;;,In -order; to -cant a: proper. variance the following conditions must
exist as specified in the Zoning Ordinance:.
61.050 Variances -- Literal Enforcement Would Create -Undue Hardship:.--
The Board. shall have the power to authorize upon appeal in specific -
;cases., filed.as her.einbefore provided,_. such variances from:the terms;
!provisions or requirements:, .of this Ordinance as will not"be:co.ntrary.to
;the public interest; provided, ' hos4evex, _.that such variances 'shall .be.
;granted only in such_.cases where-, owing to special and. unusual-.condim

;property on the effective date of this'Ordinance; or -by reason of
,exceptional -topographic conditions, or other-extraorditiary:-situation
or condition of such piece of property, . or. of- the use . o£ development .of
!property immediately adjoining .the piece of property -in question; -the
Literal enforcement of the -.requirements this Ordinance would involve'
practical difficulty.or would cause unnecessary hardship _.unnecessary'-"
to carry out,the spirit. and purpose of -this Ordinance - the Board shall
'have power to authorizea variance.from the terms of this' Ordinance,:so--
as to relieve such hardship.--In-authorizing a'variance, with:attached
conditions., the Board - shall.r.equire such evidence and guarantee or bond
- as -it may deem--to,be necessary, to'etiforce.-compliance with the conditions
attached.
61..051 Variance e'Findings.of the Board; -No-such variance of the provisions.
or requirements. -of this .Ordinance shall.- be authorized -by' the -Board unless
the Board finds:.that all of the following facts and 'conditions e'x-ist;>
61.0510 Except orLal C 6um.s-tances; That there .are exceptional "or_•extraordi.nary ;
circu:stance's or* conditions applying to 'the property in question or to
the intended- use of the property, that' do _ n-o.t apply -generally to other.
properties or classes of uses in-the,.same' zoning district.
There .are. .no exceptional- or.extraordinary circumstances applying"ao-
the property in, question. This situation is -really a matter of in-
terpretation of what constitutes --a profession.
61.0511 Preservation-of.Prooerty-Rights; That. such. variance is necessary for
the preservation'and enjoyment. of substantial property rights possessed
by_other properties in --the same zoning dis.tr. ct_;and in the.. same vicinity:
The applicant' is, not deprived of -•the use of this. property. " He can
use it to,the same degree that other properties "can "be .used -in. -this
same -zoning district.
61..0512''Absence of -Detriment: -That the.autho.xizing of such variance "will not
be of substantialdet.t;ment.to,-djacent property, and will not.materi-
ally -impair the.purposes of.this.Ordinance or --the public interest.
A limited real estate office at location probably mould not be
detrimental to the area: . •There= -is- a house to . the east add, one �cauld
-..be built in the future to the -north. _
61.0513 -Not. of a, General Nature No .grant- of -a variance .shall -be authorized
runless the Board 'specifIcahly finds: -that the -condition or' situation
'-of the specific piece of property, or the intendeduseof said.prop-'
er.ty, for which variance is sought is -not of so general or recurrent
�a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulafion of.a
general- regulation for such conditions or situation.
This particular kind -of request, while not common, really Is of .
such a ge:nera1--nature that"if this, kind, -of use is to be allowed -
in the. R-�1-Di_strict:the Ordinance should be -amended to specifically
make provision for realestate-.and other kinds of limited -business
offices. in- theresidence of the occupant:
Discussion: ..As the�Zoning-Ordinance is-written,a question-c-an be ;made of what.
Is meant by the words, -"or._ -other member of a recognized profession". in order
-to assist us in answering this question we went to the legal reference' "American .
Law of;Zoning", by Anderson, Article-10.09 on pages 218,- 219, & 220.,'(see attached)
It -is evident from this reference that a real estate office is not considered
'a professional"office"under Zoning Law that has been adjudicated in the'United:
States.
Conclusion:. Based on these findings we recommend that this variance be denied.
An alternative. would. be•to-consider. amending the, Zoning Ordinance to make
specific provision to permit real. -estate offices and other. types of offices;
-in the'residence of ,the --occupant. If this were done then -the. use would be
.legally -permitted

4. City Planning Department:.
Background:
This property Is currently in -the process of being rezoned to the,E-1a District.
The Common Council has.held the hearing and has ,-instructed the.City Attorney to
prepare - an ordinance granting -the change.
The B-la District -requires a' minimum front yard setback 'of. 25 feet .and offstreet.
parking is. not permitted in :`the .required -front yard. :
This application .is to request a variance of -the required front yard to redi:ce
it down to five feet so. offstreet parking could be developed in front. of'the,new
building. The proposed plan (see,attached plan)_has-the.�buildi-ng located about,
50 feet back from.the highway right-of-way and -some of,the parking would be in
front' of the -building.
In order to grant a variance the Zoning Ordinance specifies certain conditions
-that must exist. The provisions -of. the Zoning Ordinance are as.follows:
61,050. Variances - Literal.-Enforcement'l%Tou?d Create.,Undue Hardship: The.
Boar-.d.shall,have the power to authorize upon appeal in.specific.cases,
f led'as herei:nbefore provided, such -variances from the terms, provisions
or requirements of this Ordinance -as will not be. contrary- to the, public .
interest;-pro_ided, however, that such -variances shall be granted only
in such cases where, owing to special and -unusual conditions pertaining
to a specific piece of property, ..the`literal.enforcement of the�provi-
lions or requirements of this -Ordinance would result in practical
difficulty or undue hardship, so . that., the. spirit of the. Ordinance -shall'
be upheld, p.ubl:ic safety and welfare secured and substantial justice
done.
61.0501
-Variance - Conditions Prevails: Miere, by, reason of the exceptional
narrowness, shallowness or.unusual shape of a specific piece of property
on the effective date of this Ordinance, or by-reason'of,exceptional.
topographic conditions, or other extraordinary situation or condition
of such piece of property, or'of the use'or.development of property
'
immediately adfoining-thepiece of .property -in question, the literal'.
enforcement of'the requirements of this Ordinance would involve
practical difficulty'or would.'cause.unnecessary hardship - unnecessary
to carry out the spirit and purpose.of this,Ordinance -. the Board
shall have power.to authorize a variance from the .terms.of this..
Ordinance, so as, to relieve such hardship'' In authorizing'a variance,
the Board may attach thereto such conditions regarding the location,
character and other features of the -proposed structure or use -..es it"
may deem necessary in the interest,of the furtherance•of the.purposes
of the Ordinance and in the public -interest. In authorizing a variance
with attached conditions, the Board'shall require such-evidence.and
guarantee or bond as it may -deem to -be necessary, to enforce compliance:-
with the conditions .attached.
61.051
Variance - Findings of the Board: No such variance of the provisions or
-
requirements of. -this Ordinance shall•be~authorized by the.Board unless
the Board finds= that all of the following factsand conditions exist:
. 61.05.10
Exceptional Circumstances: ,That there are. exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applying to the property in question or -to
the intended use'of the property, that do not apply generally to:•other,
properties-orclasses of uses in the'same zoning district.
--
The slope of land on this property i"s very steep. It•has an
elevation,of 1055 at the highway right-of-way line. to an elevation
of 1115'at.the east property line for --a difference in elevation:
of about 60 feet over_a lot depth of about 210 feet. This gives -
an average slope across this lot of about 28%'which is -quite
steep. The steep slope would result in having to get involved.'

" .61.0511.-
Preservation o_f Property Rights: That such.variance is -necessary for -
the preservation and ..enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed
by other properties in.the same..zoning district and in the same
vicinity.
The -adjoining properties are also very"steep. While there may
be some question..as to whether there.is a loss of property
rights in this cask there certainly is a problem with the
steep slope.
61:051_2.
Absence o_f 'Detriment:That the authorizing of such variance .will not
be of'substantial detriment to adjacent property, and will not materi-
'
ally impair. the purposes of -this Ordinance or the public -interest.
'The .property in question is isolated.from other areas and as
such the granting -of this variance would not be detrimental to
the adjacent properties. =
-2- _
61.0.513 -Not`."of .General Nature:. No grant of a variance shall be-aut-hbi..�ize,d
unless -tbb Board specif.ically.finds. that the -condition or, situation
off.-t he.specific,piece of property,.or the intended use of said pro-
p ert'y,, for .wh'ich variance is sought. -is .not, of :so. -general or recurrent
nature,- as to make.reasonably-practicPble the'formulation of a general
regulation for,such conditions or situation.
In rsome cases - there," are lots that have -a steep slope, but in
most" instances,+this. has, -not created 'even a request for a"
variance: It N4ould appear .that this. 'situatiori. is, not. of a
co'i-.; derable general naitur_e, It.seems 'tn be':unusual in its
own r. i gh t .
Colic 1 sign
-Based on .tile- above - findings the Planning DeparUnent is of the opinion .that a
- variance `is warranted.and�justifi'ed in this case primarily.on the basis .of the steep-
ness of ti-ie terrain and the. excessive earthwork that would be iiecess`ary to "develop
this offs.treGt parking area,b"ack of -the 25 feet setback' line. We therefore recocimend
that this`ap.�Jication be granted approval to .reduce the required front yard from
25 feet- "to 5 'feet. in this 'instance.

PETITION TO ANNE.l' R.E.A. PROPERTY NORTH U.S.14 EAST
We have reviewed the above application and find the following:
1. Name'of Petitioner: People's Cooperative Power Association
2.. Reason for Petition: To provide sewer and water to new headquarters building to
be constructed on this site.
3. De2artmental-Review:
July 2-; 1970.
C.A. Armstrong, City Engineer
This tract, is approximately one mile from the east end of the present City
sanitary sewer and water, main.
-It is ;physically possible to extend the sanitary sewer main to serve the
West 1000-feet only of the proposed annexation, but the expense would be
around $50,000.
T.o,provide adequate water service -to this tract.and any further development. -
in Section 5 will require the construction of another water reservoir and well.
4. City Planning Department
General:
This property is located just to the north -and. east of the east line of Eastwood*.
Golf course. The east line of the golf course; if'extended- north, is the west
line'of the property to be annexed. -The right-of-way of U.S. 14 separates
this parcel from the city limits, but from previous interpretations this may
not pose a legal problem..The legallity of this petition should be checked on
by the City Attorney.
The property is used for agricultural purposes and there are farm buildings
situated on .the land. There is a large billboard located along the -highway
on the. west- edge of this parcel. "Immediately to the north is the -residential '
subdivision,.of Sunnydale and the Skyline School is immediately to the west-. ,
Rural'Service District:
This property meets the qualifications to be designated as a Rural Service
District within the City of Rochester.
Land Use Plan:
The C ty's adopted Land Use Plan does not extend east far enough to.include"
this property. The R.O.T.P.S. plan does include this area and shows it as
being'best suited for general residential use. Just recently the County changed
the,zoning on this property to an industrial district.
Conclusion:
-- Assuming that this petition is legal the Planning Department recommends that it
be annexed to the Ci
ty. There is already a major suburban subdivision immediately
to the north of this, property that is experiencing probleris with its septic tanks
and wells. A new municipal sewer line and water system in this area may serve as
a calayst to encourage the future annexation of this development and eventually
eliminate a population problem,

On July 22, 1970 the City Planning and Zoning Commission considered the above
described petition. 14e find that this land is contiguous to the city limits
and it can be -served by 'the.reasonable extension of city sewer and water
facilities. We have not received a reply from the Rochester Town Board..r.egard-

Based.on these findings we recommend that'this annexation be granted approval.
'and the boundard be extended -to -the centerline of the adjoining streets, if
possible..
We further recommend that this land be placed.in the Rural Service District.

J".
Name ;of Petitioners: Margaret E: , Baihly and.'G.eorge. A.' Baihly of R.-F.D: 12,

D.epartmental Review:
July 2, 1970
C.A: ;Armstron.g, City Engineer
SaniEary sewer mains and water,mains can be extended to this annexation.
fir..
City ,Planning Department:
General: _
The property to be annexed' is vacant and undeveloped land. It• is currently.
_
being, used for-.agriculturai purposes and sand, and gravel mining to form a .
private lake. The -land is contiguous to the city limits so it satisfies the
basic legal standard for annexation. -A sanitary sewer line has,been.stubbed
..
under Highway 52 to serve this area.
Flood Potential:
County Zoning Ordinance -:-
The Olmsted -County Zoning, Ordinance has zoned .the property lying .along
the Zumbro River as a.Flood Plain District. Most of the property is
zoned as agricultural. .
Intermediate Regional Flood:
High water from an'intermediate regional flood would inundate.this•entire
property,exceot for a shallow strip,along the south side'of the Salem .
Road (C.S.A.H. 8). [dater levees would range from 1020.-on the west end „
of the property to about -1012 61i the east end. The highest known water
level recorded in 1962 had.elevations of.101-4 on the west end to 1010'
on the east- end..
From this,information i't is evident that the development potential of, this'_
land is tied very closely to the flood control program that is being
'planned by tiie Corps of,Enginee'rs. In the 'interium period, cognizance will'_
;have to be. taken of these potential high water' -levels in any prospective
development and the land will either have to be raised or adequate flood
proofing measures taken to protect the property from excessive damage.
Rura1,Service District:
This:aproperty qualifies to be designated as a rural service. -district within
the City of Rochester.
Land ;Use Plan:
The.City's adopted Land Use Plan shows -this. general =area as being. best'
suited for -commercial user'multi-family useend the land along the Zumbro
River for recreation use. -All of these developmentsof course hinge bn the.
implementation of -"the flood control project..
Conclusion:.
In orderlto begin to make metning'ful and orderly plans'for the future develop-
ment of this property--the-Plann'ing Department recommends that this. land be annexed
to -.the city. We further_ recommend that the.land be designated as a Rural Service.
Dxst-7-iet o
The legal: description does not'take-in land to the centerline of 16th Street S.T-).
or to the centerline of C,S.A.H.'No; 8'. -The annzxing ordinance should contain

On -July 22, 1970 the City Planning and' Zoning Commission considered the above

area and frontage.requirements of. the' -Zoning Ordinance and complies with the
provisions.of Ordinance_-.i10 1010-for subdividingland. within. the City of Rochester.

the -Zoning Ordinance is amended to reduce;.the minimum required rear.yard .(,this is
currently,in Ordinance form'be'fore�the council)"the.problem.`will be substantially
relieved and a buildable depth'of 23+ feet to 2-8 feet.would remain.

2 Department Review No objec-tions received
3 - City PlaariinQ De: artment: -
Background. -We have reviewed ._the application "for.:.approval .of the preli mrnary
` -plat of the Bailey' and Berg Replat This• re '-fa.consists of a : esubd vision
-of . three wide and 'shallow 'lots, th-at:lie :along the: west side o-c .17th, Avenue' N.W.
ust to ,the norl,n. of 38.th Street N. W. J Some:-6ddi-tional •land_ has been -acquired
from .Lot_ 3, Sunrise View Subdivision to be added, on to Lots: 5- and: 6, Block• 6,.
Sunri se Estates- First' Subdivision so that .they would have_ adequate to depth
'hree ,Trots (Lots- 4.,-- 5; & "6)":would not have ,sufficient buildable "depth remaining
after- ,applying the minimum front yard°'to 25:ft:<and the minimum rear yard of-
40 Jt: •:to build `a contemporary, house
The _Pla't: The. plat- generally'; complies- with the , m"nirnum standards .for
subdividing land in.-theCity of Rochester with the.-.follozaing .exceptions; ,'
h.'., Tiie legal, description. should be .revised;. and' rewiorded to. put -the except aZ
at the end. -This will eliminate any _possible: misinterpr.etati.ori of" a
double exception which'.could be. read .-into• the .present..descriptio .-
2..:.The: boundary of. the area being. iesubdivided should -be shown- in! a- wide
black line.
3. The angles.: and bearings of all .Janes must .be, shown.
4. A utility easement must, be -shown along the.west-line-of proposed'Lots 1 & 2`
and,-running,"east. as. described -in, thd-easement-dedication dated'September 1969.,
(See attached- dedication'.) = ;
5. A definition_ for . "Utility Easement" needs to be shown. on ,the_ -plat.'-,(See.: ,
insert on- plat- map.)
6. Th"e 'south ,line. of Lots 1- & 2 dq %not .agree with the. appr.oved-metes and
bounds conveyances'. (See---attached'legal..description.). :
Xf these :items are-taken,.care of. the., plat document will -be "inacceptable form
for approval ..as. a prehimixazy plat.
Complications' faith 'L I)e As mentioned under "Background'" :the"re.�aiJ 1 exist
6 problem -with the shallow depth of Lots•-4, 5,,& 6._• The .existing lots•.6 and 7-
(See . a t tached .copy of original -plat.) were plat t_ed'In 1962 with a, depth of ab_out
73 ft. and a width of 125 It. _Under, the Zoning "Ordinance, in effect at -that-
-time,, the minimum' 'froz_ t anti.* rear yard requirement. was 20.7. bf; the lot depth or
about 14.-5 ft.-.each. These. yards wou.ld.,have left a buildable .depth- of. about
43'-ft. which was ,ample.
In 1965 a-riew,Zoning Ordinance went.into effec-t thatestablishedin the.
R-1 District a minimum.front.yard_ of 25 ft. and a minimum rear yard of
40 ft.f' Th- minimum rear yard could be modified .if the lot depth was less
than 100 ft. deep. In.this.case the mini.mum.required rear yard would-be
20 ft.i thus leaving a buildable..depth of about:29:ft. that isadequate
-enoughto build a contemporary size home.
The problem arises now in further subdividing. these-. lots'., In this.case new
lots are. -being created under .the._pro�tisions.cf a,Zoning-Ordinance that
establishes certain minimum lot frontage, .lot area and -setback requirements..
-Since these new.lots.are--be-ing created under .the provisions of 'this ordinance
the provisions for modification of- the, rear - yard: depth do not apply --and the
full rear -yard depth of:40.ft. is required and a --condition is created where
there is not adequate buildable area. If -this plat is approved with these -lot
sizes, even though they -meet the minimum lot area .and lot frontage requirements,
the Zoning Inspector will not be able to issuea permit to -build on them.
because nts. A condition."of self -imposed -hardship
of the open space requireme
will.: eki.st,- since the Plarin'ing Department bas. ,f.ully explained this matter to
the; applicants and _Chet' .are aware of the Problem..-
Before .any action is taken on this plat, the. matter off_ the effect -.of the lot
=. depth should be resolved from a legal.standpoint.
