Upon motion by Haas, second by WIlkus, the recommendation was accepted. The following recommendation was read: "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." • l .Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 14, 1958 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".
