Truckers, regardless, who are doing this hauling should be made to keep the branches,
trees, etc.,- within the truck and not extend over the side (or width) of the truck
2 or 3 feet on either side.
With the increase in City owned cars and trucks it is becoming more noticeable to
see this equipment all over town at the homes of City Employees during noon hour as
well as parking the cars (and maybe light panel jobs) all night in the open at the
the employees hone. Who pays for the extra gasoline used in running back and forth
to the employees hone and the job. Who is responsible for accidents., etc., during
these periods? (Light Dept. trucks do not operate on peanuts.) We should have no

the Public Works Committee:
"Honorable Mayor & Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota RE: Storm Sewer -Rolling Greens Area
Job #5708-59 Storm Sewer
Gentlemen:
In 1957, when the Rolling Greens First Addition was constructed, the proposed
Storm Sewer Project was deferred because of high cost of the trunk line and unsolved
problems involved in spreading the assessments.
The original plas was replatted to omit the water course from the platted area,
but nothing more has been done since then to provide storm sewer for the Rolling
Greens Additions or to enclose the natural water course which drains considerable
areas other than Rolling Greens.
We have studied the problem over the past season and recommend that (1) the
natural water course be preserved and continued as the principle drainage.system.
for surface water from the unplatted areas that it serves. These areas are the
Truck -Highway right-of-way, the I.B.M. property, and the Allendale subdivision.
(2) a storm sewer system be constructed to provide drainage for the streets and
lots in the platted areas east of the Trunk Highway as these areas are platted.
This proposal will provide a storm sewer system for the platted areas at the
minimum expense, and eliminate the objection of water running or standing continu-
ously throughout the year in the present watercourse. It will, however, require
that 'the natural water course remain unobstructed to provide drainage for rains
and spring runoff. This means that it will not be available for platting and
sooner or later it will be a maintenance obligation of'the public.
Neither the costs or the details have been worked out at this time. If you
approve the plan in principle, we will proceed with plans and cost estimates.
I recommend this plan as the only solution to this drainage problem that is
economically feasible. Respectfully,
s/ G.A.ARMSTRONG
City Engineer"
