further addition to Country Club Manor, a part of Section 32, Township 107 North, Range 14 West
(Rabehl farm) was read. Mr. Towey was present and stated that their engineers had drawn a pre-
liminary plan of the Rabehl farm, which he would bring to the Planning Commission in the next few
days, this plan would show where the park sites, school sites, etc. would be. He stated they would
receive this plan in the next few days and this would cover the entire Rabehl farm which would fit
in with the Judd farm and they would then have 535 acres out of the 700 planned to be annexed.
They would be glad to discuss the water tower system which they would be needing by this time next
year. A motion was made by Tingley that Mr. Towey present the plan to the Planning Commission with

by three accidents at this intersection in the past three days. Mayor Smekta called attention to

at the intersection of 7th Street and 2nd Avenue Northwest but did not feel they were qualified to

say where such signals should be placed and felt the services of a traffic engineer were needed.
Alderman Wilkus stated that 7th Street Northwest, which was just newly paved was being opened for
traffic and that crossing protection for children was needed and did.not think they should wait
for services of a traffic engineer. A motion was then made by Wilkus that the City Engineer be
instructed to install a fully actuated traffic signal at 7th Street.and 2nd Avenue Northwest.
Morris seconded the motion. Alderman Tingley stated that these signals were probably needed but
did not think the committee should be by-passed and it was suggested that the committee get
together and make a recommendation. A motion was then made by Wilkus that the above motion be
tabled until 7:30 o'clock P. M. Tingley seconded the motion and all voted in favor -thereof.
A motion was then made by Tingley that the letter from Roy Watson, Jr. be referred to the

and all voted in favor thereof.
Letters from Rochester Dry Cleaners and Dison'sCleaners requesting that the City Council
continue with the old avenue and street system instead of "courts" and "places" were each read.
They stated that they were costing the delivery service businesses of the City thousands of dol
a year in lost time and gas looking for these streets and requested that the Council pass an
ordinance to change the courts, streets and avenues which now have names to numbers. Mayor
Smekta. agreed and stated that delivery drivers were having difficulty locating addresses in some
of the new additions. Tom 0. Moore, City Planning Director, stated that some of the streets just
did not adapt themselves to numbering as they lack continuity with other arteries and he felt it
was up to this body to decide if (1) they wanted to have streets for deliveries or (2) do they
want to create a town that develops the safest way to live. Alderman Tingley stated that the Fire
and Police Departments were -also having trouble finding addresses in some of the new locations
and recommended that the Planning Commission be advised that the Council would like them to follow
Ordinance No. 704 as close as practical.
A letter from J. J. Quiter inquiring what had happened to the city ordinance which pro-
hibits posting of political advertising on electric and telephone poles in the City of Rochester
was read. The City Attorney reported that this matter had already been taken care of.
A letter from the Board of Park Commissioners requesting that the Council consider the
establishing of a new category on Park Board Work Schedules, namely an assistant to the superin-
tendent of parks with a salary of $5,000.00 per year, was read. A motion was made by Haas that
this request be referred to the Council as a committee of the whole for review at budget time.
Hanlon seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
A letter from Mrs. Harry Kelly of 2600 Jones Street, Sioux, City, Iowa, requesting that

permit for construction was granted, was read and President Kamm ordered that the same be placed
on file.
A letter from S. C. Smiley & Associates, Architects from Minneapolis, Minnesota, request-
ing that the Council consider using their services when a projected City Hall Addition building
program was started, was read. Upon motion by Tingley, second by Haas, their request was referred
to the Committee set up for this project (chairmen of the three council committees). All voted in
favor thereof.
The following letter from the Board of Park Commissioners was read:
"Hon. Alex P. Smekta, Mayor
and
The Common Council of Rochester
Re: Fencing of the Soldier's Field
Golf Course
Gentlemen:
A letter from Miss Elfreda Reiter, City Clerk, dated October 27, 1958, relative to
the fencing of the Soldier's Field Golf Course was read at the special meeting of
the Board of Park Commissioners, held on October 27th, 1958.
The Board of Park Commissioners have had this project under consideration for some
time, and at a regular meeting of the Board held March 5, 1958, Mr. Ray Keller,
professional at the course, strongly recommended that it be undertaken as Goon as
possible. The liability caused by pedestrians, and children from the swimming pool,
cutting through the course without regard to golfers, was pointed out, and the sub-
sequent law suits which could evolve from such a practice. It was the thinking of
this board that the cost of the fence would be more than justified from the stand-
point of the prevention of accidents. Moreover, it is an accepted policy for
municipal golf courses to be fenced, which helps to prevent vandalism in the area.
It may interest you to know that the Board of Park Commissioners have been planning
this fencing for the past 6 five years, and the urgency of .the project was brought
home by the increase in the usage of the course these past years. Five years ago
appro,ximately 14,000 rounds of golf were played, whereas in 1958, approximatelay
35,000 rounds were accounted for. Therefore, due to this increased activity with
the added risk to pedestrians, and the increase in the revenue, we felt it expedient
to undertake this fencing at this time. After completion of this strip of fencing,
we are planning no further fencing of the course at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
By /s ALBERT TODDIE
Its President
By. /s PHIL LAMPMAN
Its Secretary"
Mr. Wm. Van Hook, Superintendent of Parks, was present and stated that the fence would extend
eastward from the present fence on the south side of the course and also northward along the east-
ern edge except for along where the lilac hedge is. Mayor Smekta stated that the previous Board
of Park'Commissioners had planned to fence the entire Soldier's Field and now that there were two
new members on the Board they felt they should get the approval of the Common Council for such a
large expenditure. R. V. Ehrick, City Attoreny, stated that the Park Board did not need the
approval of the Common Council to enter into contract. A motion was then made by Haas that this
matter be returned to the Park Board for ultimate decision and the Clerk was instructed to advise
the Board that if the purpose of this request was to obtain an informal opinion of the Council as
to the desirability of this fencing project, that the Council has considerambe doubt as to the
wisdom of this expenditure and request that the Board give thorough consideration to the possibility
that the funds required to fence the golf course might not be better used in some other park
development or improvement. Tingley seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof, except

Alderman Hanlon, who voted "no".
A petition with 31 signatures requesting that the Council move the present City Dog
Pound from its present location because it has created an unbearable noise problem and is not in
the best interests of public health and sanitation was read. Upon motion byTingley the petition
was referred to the City Security Committee. Morris seconded the motion and all voted in favor
thereof.
A petition signed by Sam E. McConnell, Mrs. Catherine McConnell and F. 0. Fitting to
a portion of Outlot 14, Section Thirty-six (36), Township One Hundred Seven (107) North, Range
Fourteen (14) West (behind 923 East Center Street facing the railroad) changed from a residenti
zone to an industrial zone was read and upon motion by Haas, second by Hanlon, the petition was
referred to the Board of Zoning. All voted in favor thereof.
A letter from H. P. Potvin and Dorothy Potvin requesting that the Council annex the
following described property was read:
"Commencing at a point 1084 feet east and 51.98 feet south of the Northwest
corner of the Southeast -k of Section 3, Township 106, North of Range 14
West for a place of beginning, running thence south 103.96 feet, thence
west to the center of trunk Highway No. 52, thence northwesterly along
the center of said trunk highway No. 52 a distance of 118.32 feet, thence
east to the place of beginning".
A motion was made by Tingley that the above request be placed on file. Morris seconded the
motion and all voted in favor thereof.
The recommendation of the Zoning Board that the petition of David W. Andrist to have
Lot 1, Block 36, Northern Addition (1102 North Broadway) changed from a residential to a commer-
cial zone be granted was read. Mr. Andrist was present and urged that the Council grant his
request as he was planning on remodeling the oil station now on this lot by adding a couple
of service stalls. A motion was made by Tingley that the recommendation of the Zoning Board be
accepted and a hearing be set for 7:30 o'clock P. M. on December 15, 1958. Wilkus seconded the
motion and all voted in favor thereof.
President Kamm declared a twenty minute recess at 3:40 P. M. The meeting was called to
order at 4:00 P. M.
Mr. Fred Schuster, Chairman of, the Rochester Airport Commission, was present and gave a
report to the Council on recent developments affecting progress of the new municipal airport
project. He said two events affecting progress were (1) the President's veto of.a bill extending
federal aid to municipal airports and (2) rejection of bids on the construction of a weather
bureau building and maintenance and control tower building (these bids were rejected because they
were so much higher than estimated costs). He stated that plans for these buildings had been
reviewed and certain items were eliminated and other items which they feel are necessary, but
may have to do without,_,would be set up as alternates for the next bidding. He said detailed
plans for all the building projects would be completed, except those which the federal government
cannot now include in its Rochester aid program, and that.upon approval of state and federal
participating agencies, bids would again be ordered. He stated that the Commission feels
economies may result from the fact that they are increasing by this method the scope of work to
0
p- 4 Record of. Official Proceedings of the. Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., November 3.; 1958 •
OSWALD PUBLISHING CO., NEW ULM. MINN. 8185
to be done and by eliminating some items, completely and setting ohher items up as alternates
they can make certain further decisions when bids are received, which will result in their being
able to complete these items within the funds now available. However, it should be made clear that
these items not programmed for now are not extra items, but have been a part of the total project
from the beginning. He further stated that on the basis of estimates and to complete the entire
project they would need about $150,000.00 more Federal funds against a total federal participation
of $1,768,000.00;•about $57,000.00 more State funds against a total State participation of
$1,013,000.00; and it appears that local funds are adequate. He stated that the airport constr-
uction had been divided into three phases (1) site preparation and well and electrical duct
installation, miscellaneous grading and clearing, most of this work has been completed and within
the estimate (2) paving (which was -completed at less than estimated cost) and construction of
weather bureau building and control tower and central heating plant buildings;.the buildings had
originally been included in phase 3 but the paving was completed at less than estimated cost and
by amending Grant Agreement #2 the buildings were included in the second phase (3) the third phase
includes field lighting, road and parking area; paving and lighting, seal coating, fencing, seeding
and sodding. Due to the fact that the Federal Aid program was not extended, funds for the Federal
level for the 3rd phase were reducted to about $505,000.00 which makes the Federal level short
about $150,000.00 for this phase. Mr. Schuster said that -he had good reason to believe that in
the next session of Congress a federal aid to airport act would be passed and signed. He then
added that if federal and state funds were available for all the itemsmentioned to complete the
project fully, and the estimates are correct, sufficient funds are available at the local level
to complete the project.
R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, then reported to the Council on his reaction and evaluation
on Elton Hills decision as it might affect the City of Rochester as distinguished from School
District No. 4. He outlined the procedural history on the school tax case after which he gave the
following comments:
"It pears that the effect of the Court's decision, if it is allowed to stand,
will be�f =pt all land annexed to the City and the Rochester School District from
all liability to pay its proportionate share of City or School District bonded
indebtedness existing at the time of annexation. On the basis of the Court-'s
decision, it would appear that the County Auditor would be obligated to spread the
levy to pay installments of principal and interest on.bonded indebtedness of the
City, as well as the School District, against the land encompassed within the
territorial limits of the City of Rochester at the times the respective bond
issues become a debt of the City or School District.
At the present time, the City has general obligation bond issues outstanding
for the Sewage Disposal Plant (1960), for several combined groups of local
improvement projects and for the general city improvement issue approved in 1957.
The Sewage Disposal Plant issue will be paid from sewer rental charges, although
the possibility exists that a portion of this issue will be paid from tax levies.
The bond issues for local improvements will be paid principally from special
assessments but in all probability a portion of the issues will be paid through
tax levies because of the assessments deferred. The major portion of the general
City improvement issue of 1957 will be paid through tax levies.
I have asked Mr. Marvin Price, City Assessor, to estimate the area annexed to
the City during the years 1950 to date and to estimate the assessed valuation of
such area. However, in advance of Mr. Price's estimate, it is possible to state
that the impact of the Court's decision on tax levies to retire City bonded
indebtedness will be great. The decision will have no effect on past tax levies
already collected, but will have a -substantial prospective on future effect.
If the Court's decision is correct',,,it is doubtful that the situation with
respect to future annexation can be• corrected by requiring the owners who

petition to annex to also consent in advance to pay their proportionate share
of existing bonded indebtedness.
If a tax levied to pay existing bonded indebtedness is illegal as far as
subsequently annexed land is concerned, it is doubtful that such a condition
precedent to annexation can be imposed on land to be annexed. An act of the
Minnesota legislature would be necessary to correct the situation.
From my own legal research, I can say without hesitation that the question
decided by the Court is an important and doubtful one. The District Court is
required to decide each case submitted to it, but I believe that Judge Hatfield
would be one of the first to concede that the school tax cases are difficutl
and not free from doubt.
Because the question is important and doubtful, because I believe that there
is substantial legal authority for a contrary decision and because of the extreme
importance of this question to City planning and financing, I am requesting the
Common Council for authority to petition the District Court to permit the City.
to intervene in the school tax cases. The City's interest in this decision is
direct and substantial and the City should have direct legal representation in
this matter. If the City is permitted to intervene, I propose to move the
Court for a reconsideration of this matter and amended findings and if this is
denied by the Court, I recommend that the City join with the County of Olmsted
and Special School District Number 4 in appealing the decision to the Supreme
Court of Minnesota for final decision."
After hearing Mr. Ehrick's comments, a motion was made by Tingley that the'City Attorney be
authorized and instructed to file with the District Court a petition to intervene and in case that
is rejected, that he be authorized and instructed to join with the County and School Boards in
taking this case to the Supreme Court. Haas seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
Mr. Garfield Kreter was present and stated that about two months ago he had made
application for a change of zoning of Lots 9,10,11,12,13 and 14, Block 1, Kreter's Replat, to
multiple dwelling, that the Board of Zoning had recommended approval of same but that the Council
had tabled the same until off street parking was provided. He waid he now had a plan for off
street parking ready. Alderman Tingley then brought up the matter of Kreters deeding Outlot 1 to
the City, which the City had never accepted and thought this should be accepted and cleared up
before action was taken on the zoning. Mr. Kreter said they were still willing to deed the lot
to the City and he would again present the necessary papers. A motion was then made by Tingley
that the change of zoning and off street parking be tabled until the next meeting, until the matte
of accepting Outlot 1, Kreter's Replat was cleared up. Haas seconded the motion and all voted in
favor thereof.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee that the bid of Carlisle G. Fraser,
Inc. for construction of a storm sewer in Peck's 6th and Sawinski's First Addition be -accepted
and a resolution adopted according to the contract, this is a negotiated bid authorized by the
Council at the Oct. 20th, meeting(amount of bid $6,527.10) was read. Upon motion by Haas, second
by Wilkus, the recommendation was approved. All voted in favor thereof.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee stating that they had cosidered the
letter from the Washington School P.T.A. requesting certain sidewalk and traffic signals, that the
committee recognizes the need but there is at present a considerable sidewalk construction project
under contract in this area and recommend that no action be taken on the recent request for side-
walk until the current program is completed, approximately June, 1959 and that the traffic signal
request would be taken up by the Security Committee, was read. Upon motion by Hanlon, second by
Haas, the recommendation was accepted. All voted in favor thereof.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee stating that they had reviewed the
7

request to vacate the west 50 feet of Lots 8, 9 and 10t Block 5, Cascade Manor and recommend that
Mr. Leiferman submit a legal petition for vacating the west 50 feet of Lots 8, 9, and 10,
Block 5, Cascade Manor less the platted right-of-way of 5th Street Northwest as described on the
plat of Cascade Hlaza was read. Mr. Leiferman presented a petition and plat as requested
in the above recommendation. A motion was then made by Haas that the above recommendation be
accepted and the petition and plat submitted by Mr. Leiferman be referred to. the Planning
Commission and the Public Works Committee. Tingley seconded the motion and all voted in favor
thereof.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee stating that they had reviewed the pro-
posed amendment to the subdivision regulations as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and recommend that Ordinance No. 704 be amended as set forth below:
Ordinance No. 704 be amended to include the following additional provisions:
1. Preliminary approval of a 1plat shall be effective for a maximum period of
twelve months, unless upon application of the developer, the common council
grants an extension. If the final plat has not been recorded within this
time limit, the preliminary plan must again be submitted for approval.
2. Upon approval of the final plat by the Common Council, the developer shall
record the final plat with the Register of Deeds of Olmsted County within
three months after such approval. If the plat is not recorded within this
time; the approval shall be null and void and'the plat shall be resubmitted
to the council as a preliminary plat for consideration.
R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney also suggested that the ordinance be amended to include that after
a plat has been approved by the Common Council, that the City Clerk file the same with the
Register of Deeds and the developer be billed for the filing fee. A motion was made by Haas
that this recommendation be referred back to the Public Works Committee for the addition
suggested by Mr. Ehrick. Morris seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee stating that theyhad reviewed the
petition to annex the Verby Property Northeast as recommended by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and recommend that the annexation be approved and the owner be notified of points
1-5 as follows, as stated in the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation, was read:
1. A permit for a residential dwelling was issued by Cascade Township and the
house is built on the property. The house is served by a septic tank and
individual well.
2. At present there are no firm plans for public streets to serve this area.
Access would be by private drive until such time as a street system is platted.
3. Sanitary sewer can be extended to serve the property and when the water tower
is installed in Northern Heights Addition this system could provide service
to this property.
4. Until such time as a municipal water supply system is developed in this area,
adequate fire protection will be a serious probelem.
5. Regular platting procedures shall be followed before further development is
made made in this area.
A letter signed by John E. Verby, Jr. and Jane E. Verby stating that all utilities have been
installed, developed, and maintained by the owners; they.agree to continue to mainbain such
property, utilities, and roadway until such time as the Common Council deems it feasible to
connect to the existing city utilities, including streets; that the proposed plan that has been
attached to the annexation request would be difficult to further sub -divide until such time as
the utilities, easements, and roadways, are exactly known by the Planning Board and City; and
they accept full responsibility for fire protection to their land and home until such time as
the City can supply the necessary protection, was also read. A motion was made by Tingley

instructed to prepare an ordinance annexing the said property. Wilkus seconded the motion and
all voted in favor thereof.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee stating that they had reviewed the
i�
Cfi
petition to annex Lots 7 and 8, Block 2, Parkin's Sufi -Division as recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and recommended that the lots be annexed to the City of Rochester and that the
owner connect the house to the city water system and sewer system immediately, was read. A motion
was made by Haas that the recommendation of the Public Works Committee be approved and the City

was instructed to prepare an ordinance annexing the said property. Hanlon seconded the
motion and all voted in favor thereof.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee stating that they had reviewed.the
final plat of Potvin's First Addition as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and
recommend that the annexation be approved and the plat be granted final approval was read. A
letter signed by C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, that he had examined the plat and that it meets
the requirements of Ordinance No. 704 was also read. He further stated that it can be served by
the existing sanitary sewer previously constructed in the service drive; there is no water service
in front of the property but it can be extended from 15th Ave. 'S.W., this will require a dead -head
construction of approximately 190 feet, the cost of which will have to be met either by this plat
or by the public funds since it traverses property not now assessable; this plat is also subject
to the assessment for the previously built sanitary sewer and the plat is recommended for
acceptance. A motion was made by Morris that the recommendation of the Public Works Committee

offer be rejected. Hanlon seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
Mr. Richard Rosaaen was present and inquired what action the Council had taken..on the
purchase of his property. He was told that the Council had rejected his proposal because they
felt it was too high. Mr. Rosaaen stated that he had tried to buy commercial property on which
to place his business but the prices were all so high he could not afford them. He said he had
to enlarge his building to keep his business and was going to take out a building permit the next
day. Alderman Hanlon stated that Rosaaen had been very cooperative in negotiating with the City
and he felt if Rosaaen takes out a permit, the City should begin condemnation proceedings.
Alderman Tingley stated that negotiations had failed to lead to an agreement on price and that
the City does not want to buy the right-of-way on 5th Street N. W. now but could undertake
condemnation proceedings. A motion was then made by Hanlon that the City institute condemnation
proceedings for that portion of the property we need for the right-of-way on our proposed plan.
