"The Honorable Mayor and Common Council
City of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
First, on behalf of my associates and myself, may I thank you for the kind
consideration extended in re -arranging parking facilities around the Zumbro
Hotel during our rather lengthy construction process.
Now that the work is about complete, we feel it is time to re-evaluate the
various parking places in the light of the need for both parking and loading
entry zones. May we respectfully request that consideration be given to
leaving the entire area on First Avenue Between First Street and the alley
vacant. This will provide space for the existing cab stand and sufficient
room for arriving and departing guests, so that double parking and the
resultant traffic interference will be eliminated.
Further we respectfully request that when the area on First Street on the
north side of the Zumbro is returned to parking stalls, that one or two
spaces located on the northeast corner be continued as loading zone, inasmuch
as the new north entrance will serve both the hotel and the restaurant.
This letter is being written at the suggestion of the Chief of Police, Mr.
Dutton, manager of the Hotel Zumbro, Mr.Campbell, manager of the Damon Hotel
and a member of the Mayor's Parking Commission, and I, will be glad to discuss
this matter with anyone you might designate.
Yours very truly,
/s ROY WATSON, JR."

same was referred to the City Security Committee:
1. Parking facilities in front of the Citadel, 11 1st St. N.W. are inadequate,

been removed. Prior to the meters parking in front of the Citadel was

could be repaired we would appreciated this consideration.

The following recommendation of the Public Works Committee was read and upon motion byl'

second by Haas, the recommendation
was approved
and the City Attorney was
instructed--`ti3'�
prepare
a resolution approving the plat of
Gardner's 2nd
Addition:
"To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned members of the Public Works Committee, recommend
that the proposed platoDf Gardner's Second Addition as bubmitted by the
owners with a private drive be approved.
It is the conclusion of the Public Works.Committee, the City Engineer
and the City Attorney after thorough deliberation over an extended period
of time that the only feasible way of platting and developing certain land
contained in this plat is by permitting a private drive. This conclusion
is based on the fact that existing conditions and construction in or
adjacent to the platted area and the determination of the Park Board not
to permit a street extending into the park drive make every other
suggested solution either impossible or economically unsound.
This recommendation is not to be considered as establishing a policy
or precedent for private drives in future plats but is to be considered
only as a necessary concession to existing circumstances.
Respectfully submitted,.
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
/s Albert Tingley, Chairman
/s David Hanlon, Member

The recommendation of the Public Works Committee that an alley be established in
Lot 1, Block 9, Original Plat extending from 1st Ave. S.W. to the north -south alley in Block 9,
as proposed in the letter from F. W. Schuster to the City Council on June 2, 1958, if suitable
arrangements can be made to acquire the right-of-way and that the Council appoint appraisers to
evaluate city -owned property and thatwhich is to be vacated, was read. Alderman Tingley, Chair-
man of the Public Works Committee, explained that the City has an alley that runs from 4th Street
Southwest and dead ends at the old Schuster property, now they are tearing down all these buildings
and the alley will just be a dead end. Is is the feeling of the Public Works Committee that this
should not be a dead end and we propose to continue the alley at right angles to the present one
out to First Avenue and.instead of condemning that property or buying it we propose to trade some
other property we own in that same area for what we need to continue this present alley and
therefore recommend that appraisers be appointed to evaluate the property we are going to trade
and also the property we are going to recieve. Upon motion by Hanlon, second by Wilkus, the
recommendation of the Public Works Committee was approved. All voted in favor thereof.
A motion was then made by Alderman Tingley that the Public Works Committee be
authorized to appoint appraisers as requested above. Alderman Morris seconded the motion and all
voted in favor thereof.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee that the City accept a triangular
piece of land adjacent to the alley at the east end of the north 44 feet of the Mill Reservation;

Morris, second by Haas, the recommendation was accepted. All voted in favor thereof.
President Kamm stated that at this time the Council would again consider the proposed
;..
change of zoning of Lots 5 and 6, Block 2 and Lot 5, Block 3 of Gonderman & Thiel's Subdivision
which had been taken under consideration by the Council for one week at the last meeting held on
June 2, 1958. The following report as to the validity of the petition was then read:
"Common Council
City of Rochester
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
I have examined the petition of the owners protesting against amending the zoning
classification of Lots 5 and 6, Block 2, and Lot 5; Block 3, Gonderman and Theil's Subdivision,
from residential to commercial; and I find that the owners of Lots 19 through 27 of Krolow's
Sub -division and Lots 5 and 6, Block 7, Ireland's First Addition, have duly signed the protest
petition.
The portions of the lots in Kmlos's Sub -division and Ireland's First Addition
described above which are within 200 feet of the outer perimeter of the land proposed to be
exchanged constitute more than 20 per cent of this area, exclusive of streets and alleys,
and, therefore, pursuant to Section 11 (b) (4) of Ordinance 977 of the City of Rochester, an
affirmative vote of six -sevenths of all members of the Council is required to make the
zoning change.
Respectfully submitted,
/s R. V. EHRICK

boundary of the Country Club Manor property paralleling the easterly boundary of
the Country Club Manor property to a point north of 3rd St. and thence easterly in

.proposed under this plan. The estimated cost if.$148,419.00.
(3A)This plan proposes to construct a ditch along the easterly line of Country Club
Manor Subdivision and located on the Country Club Manor Subdivision property just
westerly of the easterly property line. The estimated cost is $58,500.00.
(4) Thisis a plan proposed by Mr. Meyer, the consultant for Mr.,Furlow. The,plan
proposes to install two 60" diamter pipes from the outlet of the Country Club
Manor Subdivision storm sewer system to Cascade Creek. The proposed trunk sewer
outlet would cross Mr. Furlow's property. The estimated cost for installing a
single deformed pipe,in accordance with our recommendations as discussed later
in this report is $106,400.00.
Mr. D. P. Jesson, Secretary -Treasurer of Johnson -Drake & Piper, Inc, was present and recommended
that the Council consider construction of the drainage ditch (No. 1). He stated they were in favor
of this plan because (1) engineering wise it is feasible (2) it is flexible and could be tied in
with future developments (3) it is speedy and could be carried out almost immediately and (4) the
cost would be nothing to the City as the Country Club Manor developers would assume all the cost.
fir. Charles Willard was present, representing residents in Country Club Manor, and urged that the
Council take some action as soon possible. Mr. David Bishop, Attorney representing Mr. Furlow,
was also present and urged that some action be taken.
Alderman Tingley, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, then made a verbal recommendation
that the committee had studied the plans as submitted and if they accepted the open ditch method
they felt they would be confronted with the same problem they now have on 14th Street Northeast and
therefore it was the recommendation of the said Committee that the Council approve Plan No. 4 and
that action be taken on this immediately to get it under way. Upon motion by Haas, second by
recommendation
Wilkus, the verbal/of the Public Works Committee was approved. All voted in favor thereof.
R. V. Ehtick, City Attorney, explained that this project should be initiated under
Section 429 of the State Statutes and in addition it would be necessary to negotiate for an
easement or start condemnation proceedings to obtain an easement over the Furlow property. If the
project is initiated then the cost of condemantion could be included in the total cost but it
would have to be decided by the Council if this is to be assessed 100% or part of it put on a
deferred basis. A motion was then made by Alderman Haas that this matter be referred to the Public
Works Committee for consideration of the problem of assessing the cost and other problems in
connection with this project and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare for the next Council
meeting a resolution instituting the project of construction of a storm sewer under Section 429
of the State Statutes. Alderman Morris seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
The question of notifying the arthitects and engineers to proceed was then discussed and
a motion was made by Alderman Tingley that the Public Works Committee be given authority to go
