Moore City Planning Director ` City, Hall - Room 5 Rochester, Minnesota _ RE: Final Plat of Cascade Center Dear Mr. Moore: A copy of the final plat of Cascade Center has been furnished to Mr. Burrill for his comments. A preliminary plat of Cascade Center was submitted 'earlier for Comment and we refer you to our letter of May 24, 1960, in which we objected to the proposed entrance to 5th Street N.W. Since this entrance is only approximately 350 feet from 16th Avenue N.W., we feel it would defeat the purpose of the expressway type design of 5th Street N.W. It would definitely reduce capacity and traffic efficiency. In our opinion, entrances to 16th Avenue N.W. would adequately serve this property. 0 50 Record of Official Proceedings of the Commori Council • of the City of Rochester, Minn., October 17, 1960 ❑5WALG PLI BLIS RING CO., NEW ULM, MINN. A3528 It is recommended that the proposed entrance to 5th Street N.W. be eliminated from this plat so that the high -type design as well as considerable investment -for the 5th Street N.W. express route may be protected.
