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." 1 • 1 1 • 1 0 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of. Rochester, Minn., -June 9• 1958 7 8 3. • 1 40 FJ _'.

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

Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester,, Minn., June 9, 1958 discussed: (1) Construct a drainage ditch from the easterly boundary of the Country Club Manor Subdivision through Mr. Furlow's property to Cascade Creek. The estimated cost is $39,000.00. (2)Divert Cascade Creek brom a bridge over State,Trunk,Highway No. 14 at thesoutherly. 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 a straight line to Cascade Creek. The proposed diversionofthe creek would be located on Mr..Furlow's property, The estimated cost is,$124,733.00. (3) Construct a system of pipe sewers to convey the drainage from the Country Club Manor Subdivision approximately from 3rd St. N.W. at somedistance westerly from 31st Ave. N. W. and from 36th Ave. N. W. and 3rd St. N. W. to State Trunk Highway No. 14 and thence easterly along State Trunk Highway No. 14. to Cascade Creek. There are three pipe lines running north and south paralleling 36th Ave. N. W. .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.
