"Honorable Mayor and
Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
RE: A Policy For Regulating Home Building and Occ-upancy in New
Additions To The City of Rochester.
Gentlemen:
A committee composed of representatives from The Rochester Home Builders
Association, representatives from Country Club Manor, and your CiVy Engineer,
City Planning Director, City Building Inspector and Fire Chief met on April
3, 1958, to,discuss and formulate a "Policy FOR Regulating Home Building and
Occupancy in New Additions To the City of Rochester."
As members of this committee recommend that the Common Council adopt, as a
trial measure, for one year, the following policy:
No building permits shall be issued in any new subdivision
until the rough grading work on the streets and avenues
has been completed and'the sewer and water construction
is under contract.
The local Home Builders Association has agreed to withhold
occupancy of new homes until a "passable" street has been
constructed.
In the event a developer desires to construct a few "model
homes", for display purposes only, the model homes would
be exempt from the requirements of this policy. At the time
a building permit is taken out for a "model home" this would
be noted on the permit.
The above stated policy was decided upon because it was felt that once the
rough grading was completed, the construction of local improvements and the
construction of houses would proceed at about the same rate. It was also the
feeling of the committee that this method would not cause construction workers
to be without jobs while waiting for local improvement work to be completed.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
Tom 0.More, City Planning Director C. A. Armstrong,City Engineer
Garnet Spring, Building Inspector Frank•Everett, Fire Chief
Larry McCaleb, Home Builders Association Glenn Murray, Country Club Manor."

The recommendation of the Public Works Committee that the above policy be adopted
by the Common Council and that all new subdivisions shall be subject to the provisions of this
policy was also read. After reading the above recommendation the question of the meaning of
"passable" street was brought up. Upon inquiry, C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, reported that
it be interpreted the policy to mean that rough street grading would include a crushed rock base.
Frank W. Everett, Fire Chief, stated that to him a "passable street" was one over which heavv
fire equipment could travel. Larry McCaleb, Representative of the Home Builders' Association,
stated he interpreted "passable streets" as usually meaning one with compacted crushed rock.
Alderman Tingley stated that it was the intention of the City to have passable streets during
construction periods but they did not want to hold up builders. R. N. Ehrick, City Attorney,
suggested that probably some action should be taken by amending the building code as there is
an inconsistency in that the building code requires that -permits be issued when plans and
specifications are submitted and therefore the Building Inspector would have to issue permits
when plans and specifications were submitted. After discussing the matter further a motion was
made by Haas, second by Wilkus referring this matter and recommendation back to the Public
Works Committee. All voted in favor thereof, except Alderman Tingley who voted "no".
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee that the petition to vacate 5th
Street Southeast from 8th Avenue Southeast to 9th Avenue Southeast be denied for reasons set

replat of area from 5th Avenue Southeast to 9th Avenue Southeast and Bear Creek to 6th Street
Southeast and recommending that the plan dated January 22nd, 1958 and on file in the City Planning
Director's Office be granted preliminary approval and that the land owners involved confer with
the City Planning Director regarding details concerning the proposed replatting. Upon motion by
Haas, second by Tingley, the recommendation was approved.
The following recommendation of the Public Works Committee was read and upon motion by
Haas, second by Wilkus, the recommendation was approved:
"Inasmuch as it appears there is little, if any, possibility of agreement among
the Engineer's considering the problem of surface water drainage for Country'
Coub Manor, we the undersigned members of the Public Works Committee, recommend
to the Common Council that independent Hydraulic Engineers be retained by the
City forthwith to make an analysis of the problem and recommend the course of
action to the Common Council."
