Subject. Application for approval. of a Community Shoppi
ng Center
..-an the northwest corner of 12th' Street' & 15th Avenue SE
I have -these additional comments to make re-ardin- the
entrance. onto 15th Avenue S.E. across 'from 11th Street S.E.:
1. Although the prohibiting of left 'turns exiting from this
open.iiig*would be beneficial it.would be.almost impossible
'--to.. enf orce without-construdting a physical barrier.
Therefore, if 'this-entran'ce is allowed we should expect
-this.movement to be made. The right'turn.from this entrance
will also*be difficult especially for traffic destined to go
eastbound on -Highway #14 having to merge across.'two thru-
lanes. and the.free right turn lane within a short distance..
2. The most serious problem that I find in allowing this
entrance is the northbound traffic making a'ltft turn into
-the center. The distance to Highway' #14 is too short to
provide a satisfactory -left turn storage a
rea, therefore,
-dausing a -potential backup of traffic into the signalized
intersection.
.3. Without a separate storage area left turn vehicles' would
C�
-then reduce northbound traffic on 1�th Avenue to one lane'
much of the time. With the projected.volumes on 15th
Avenue this ce'r-tainly should not be allowed. With no
median opening opposite the entrance on Highway #14
as
understand the State Highway is going to recommenc traffic
from the southwest destined for the center will be.
en6ouraged.to enter*from 15th Avenue.'

We.have.reviewe'd-the above getition and we find the following:
'l. :Name of Petitioner: Carlton Penz and Ruth Penz.
2.� Reason for Petition-. To'enable land to be� used in the proper zoaing-classifica-

3.- Department al ReVieT�q: 'See attached'Ietters from the Minnesota Highway Department

Background': This property is now zoned a B-lb District and a.portion of it.
is being used for a
Dog :'N' Suds Restaurant. �A parcel of land: 145. f eet in
width along-12th Street S.E. by 200,feet in depth for -a posisible station.is
not included.in.this Zone Change..
-The properties across Hic, ay 14-on the Southeast and Southwest corners of the
hw.
inteisectionare zoned a B-3.District�. A.serVice station.and supermarket on'
-the Northeast*corner of the intersection is zoned a B-lb District. The property
to the West -is used for park purposes'and i's' zoned.-a.Flood Plain District.
The.propert.y to.the North is zoned an R-1 District and is used by the Elks
-There are no residential uses,imm6diately to the North.
Both the City's Adopted Land Use Plan and the Rochester -Olmsted Transporta-
tion Planning.Study has this designated as -being bpst'suite.d',
_general.area for.
commercial uses.
Conclusion: Based on the above findings we recommend,that this petition for
--a chdnge.in zoning be approved.
n cha' -street pattern and lotting arrangement have taken place on
y nges in
this property since -it was originally platted as Auditor's Plat "A!,.. In
order'to bring this land up.to date we recommend that a new plat be prepared
and approved by the City of Rochester according to the provisions of Ordinance
No. 1558. Since no new public streets would be involved.in this plat", the..
preliminary plat procedure can -be waived by the Planning Department and a final
plat prepared and filed.
-a telephone cable located in the right-of-wl-=4-y of now vacated
There is also
10th Street S.E.. and no utility easement was provided to handle its future
main ' tainance. At the time this portion of 10th Street S..E. was vacated the
Planning Department and'the City Planning.and Zoning Commission both recommended
.that' -an easement be ' -reserved for utility purposes. Apparently,'this was never
accomplished. The need still exists and some agreement should be reached on
this matter now before development plang proceed much further in this location.
