A petition with 54 signatures of residents living Within 200 feet of this property protesting this change of zoning was presented and ordered placed in file. Mr. Art Swan, Attorney.representing 0. W. Haling had been under the assumption that this N roperty was industrial; he had petitioned for this zoning change in 1945, that the Zoning Board • L 0 Record of Official Proceedings 'of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn.,: April 18, 1960 53 Z90 1 • 1 1 C� J 1 at that time had recommended that the zone change be made but apparently due to some error the ordinance had never been drawn; he said Mr. Haling was very anxious to have this zoned industrial. Mr. Earl Preston of 9 - 10k Street Southeast and Mrs. IaVerne Schuchard of 3 10� each spoke opposing the zone change. Mr. Herman Rollie of 10 10k Street Southeast stated he was not opposed if Mr. Haling kept the property cleaned and clear of debris, he said at present it was very unsightly. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, then explained that the records show that Mr. Haling petitioned for the zone change in 1945 and the Boad of Zoning had recommended that it be granted but neither the ori- ginal zoning ordinance adopted in 1936 or any after that showed this property as industrial, but he understood that an industrial building had been located and operating on this property since 1936; upon inquiry he added that if Mr. Haling continued to operate here as non -conforming, he would not be permitted to make any major or structural change but could continue to operate as industrial. After hearing those present, a motion was made by Wilson, second by Wilkus, that this property be zoned as industrial and the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an ordinance making the requested zone change. Upon roll call and all voting in favor thereof, except Brooks who voted "no", President Tingley declared the motion carried. ' President Tingley then stated that as long as there were so many interested people present the dog question would be discussed at this time. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, then summarized the dog ordinance as it was before the Council, he said the proposed ordinance required that dogs be confined for six months; that dogs should be licensed at 5 months instead of 2 months, and rabies shots every 24 months instead of one year; this ordinance had two readings. At the March 7, 1960 meeting the following motion was made and tabled: "A motion was madelby Hanlon, second by Haas, that the City -Attorney -be instructed -to -draft a new ordinance -to -include the following (1).that we ask for a 12-month confinement of dogs and if -not confined that they be at heel (2)-include a licen, fee of $1.00- per dog -whether confined. or- not. and .(3) for health reasons -we should include vaccinatio of rabies". A motion was then made by Wilkus, second by Tingley, that the above motion be amended to include cats; all voted in favor thereof. A motion was then made by Tingley, second by Wilkus, that this motion as amended be tabled until the meeting of April 4, 1960; Mr. Ehrick said that was the status of the matter at present. Eight cards and letters and two petitions with 21 signatures favoring the 12-month ban on dogs were read; also a petition with 55 signatures opposing the 12 month ban. The following people were then heard: Mr. William Schroeder of 501 7th Street Northwest was opposed to dogs running at large; Mrs. George Betker of 942 9th Avenue Northeast sopke in favor of a 12 month ban; Mrs. Richard Cleermans of 813 15th Street Northwest spoke in favor of 12 month ban; Mrs. Stanley Beatty of 714 9th Street Southwest; Mr. George O'Keefe of 4 - 17 Street Northeast; Dick Postier of 408 14th Avenue Northeast and Mrs. Harry Curtin of 620 12th Avenue South- east -each spoke in opposition to the 12 month ban. Alderman Stadler, Chairman of the Public Safety Committee, stated that their committee had met with two veterinarians, the health officer and the dog catcher to try to get some objective unbiased information; they discussed the 12-month ban and this would not eliminate all problems as some of the dogs running at large were from rural areas and even if a 12-month ban were passed it would have to be enforced to settle the problem and perhaps an assistant poundmaster was needed; he said the. Health Officer had reported 192 bites in the last - 4 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 18, 1960 • GSWALO PUBL19 NINE CO.. NEW ULN, M NN. 9101 year but did not know if they were all dog bites or other animals. After.further lengthy discussion on this matter, a motion was made by Gifford, second by Morris, that the original motion (underlined above) be amended to provide in the ordinance for an Assistant Poundmaster; upon roll call and all voting in favor thereof, President Tingley declared the motion carried. A motion was then made by Wilkus, second by Stadler, to amend the original motion that it be changed from 12 months to 6 months (April 1st through September). Upon roll call and Brooks, Gifford, Morris and.Wilson voting "no" and Stadler, Wilkus and Tingley voting "aye" President Tingley declared the motion lost.

Mr. Moore thought the (combined Planning and Coning Commission and the Mayor's Parking and Traffic Committee would come back to the Council the the next couple of weeks, he thought they were to a point where there can not be too many major changes. Mr. Moore invited the gentlemen present to appear at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on Wednesday at 8:00 o'clock in Room 5 .in the City Hall, when he thought this matter might be discussed. The following letter from A. M. Ackerman, City Treasurer, was read: "Some few months ago I was.requested by'a Committee from the Council to consider a new place for the City Treasurer's Office. This I agreed to do as it has always been my desire to cooperate with other departments of the City Hall. And the office I was then using was requested for the new Traffic Bureau Office. However, since moving to those new rooms in the basement I have found it most in- convenient and it is also inconvenient for the City Clerk's office as well as others. I respectfully request to be heard and also request the Council to authorize the City Treasurer to move back in the original office." Mr. Ackerman was present in support of his letter, -'he said he had moved because he did not real- ize the inconvenience it would cause, but since he had moved fount it most inconvenient.
