There was no one present wishing to be heard. Upon motion by DeVries, second by Wilson, the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution granting the said request. All present voted in favor thereof. President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set for a continued hearing on construction of curb and gutter and additional catch basins on 3rd Street Northwest from 36th Avenue to 3rd Place Northwest.. Mr. Tom Murray of.3610 - 3rd Street Northwest was again present and said he had noted that in the last hard rains there had been no flooding of the streets and 'did not feel they should pay for catch basins if they were not necessary. C. A. Armstrong stated that the Public Works Committee had considered this matter; he said there would be no assessment to property owners for additional catch basins; but he said no amount of catch basins would keep the silt from washing down the hill. There was no one else present wishing to be heard. President Tingley declared the hearing officially closed. Mr. L. H. Bielenberg was before the Council and presented a plot plan for a service station site on the three cornered lot at llth Avenue and 14th Street Northwest, he requested permission to put driveways onto llth Avenue and 14th Street N. W. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer; stated that he did not think that driveways should be permitted onto the streets and for that I reason had held up giving them a permit. Upon motion by DeVries, second by Wilkus, and all present voting in favor thereof, this matter was referred to the Public Works Committee. Mr. Joe Weis, representing the Home Builders, was again before the Council in opposition to Section (7) c paragraph #1 of the new Electrical Ordinance adopted by the Common Council on August 7, 1961. This provides "(1) All circuit wiring shall be installed in a metallic raceway not less than one-half (") inch in diameter. Armored cable shall not be considered a metallic raceway or an acceptable substitute therefor. -With the approval of the Electrical Inspector, three - eighths X3/8") inch flexible metal cable may be used in remodeling work when the use of one-half inch metallic raceway is not practicable". Mr. Weis said he thought he had given some good reasons for not adopting this part of the ordinance and said after some of the other builders had been heard he had a proposed amendment to present. Mr. Oscar Allerton; Mr. Robert Neill, Mr. Andy Towey, Mr, Larry McCaleb, Mr. Haven Hodge, Mr. Larry Sather and Mr. Stanley Mohn were each heard, they were all opposed to this section of the ordinance because of the increased cost and they did not feel it was necessary because,it did not insure more safety. Mr. Joe Weis then gave the i following reasons why he did not think this Section should be.approved (1) it will make it hard for individuals in Rochester to buy a new home if the cost was increased $170 to $300 more (2) you can get the same degree of safety with the 3 wire Romax system as you can with the new type cable and (3) F.H.A. does not require it, the National Electric Code or State Electric Code does not require it and a majority,of the larger cities do not require it. He then proposed that the following be substituted for Section (7) C (1) All circuit wiring shall be t�_wire non metallic 0 396 Record of Official Proceedings of the ' Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., August 21, 1961 O S,WA LD_P U,S LI,S, H„I,N,G_C, D.,_N E W�U LM-M,I.N.N._A352 B _ cable, this shall be considered as a minimum wire standard and does not prohibit the use of the metallic raceway system. President Tingley then moved that the above proposed amendment, as presented by Mr. Weis, be referred to the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for the next meeting which included the proposed amendment. Alderman Wilson seconded the motion and upon roll call, DeVries, Wilkus and Wilson voting "no" and President Tingley voting "aye", the motion was declared lost. A motion was then made by DeVries, second by Wilson, that the proposed amendment beyreferred to the Public Works,Committee for study and recommendation. All present voted in favor thereof. Mr. Donald Franke, Attorney, was present representing Rocket Aero, Inc. a corporation • of private flyers.. He said when they entered into a lease with the City, the plans showed a taxiway on both sides of the "T"+Hangar but when they put the building on they found that the taxiway on the Westerly side was installed but on the Easterly side was not; he said the "T" Hangar provides for exit of 5 airplanes on one side and5 airplanes on the other side, the lease provides that the private flyers shall maintain the ground that they lease but the ground they lease includes only a 5 foot perimeter around the building and the City shall maintain the public property around the building and'that is the problem they bring before the Council. He said they thought construction would proceed as shown on the blueprint; the Airport Commission had this referred to them but they suggested that they would proceed with the construction only if the Rocket Aero entered into a Inew agreement at twice the amount of the original lease. President Tingley said he was a member of the Airport Commission and it was his understanding that the present lease was for unimproved property and if this work was done it would practically make it I improved property and if that was the case he felt they should pay more rental for improved than unimproved property. Mayor Smekta stated it was his understanding when the lease was drawn up that the City was to cimprove and put tarvia and crushed rock in front of the "T" Hangar (south end) and that had been done, he did not think anything else was said in the lease. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that the lease provides that Rocket Aero has the full responsibility to maintain all these areas and the City assumes no responsibility for them. Mr. Franke stated that they wanted to inform the Council that they were not interested in a new lease at double the rent but want the lease they already have fulfilled. Mr. Everett Schermerhorn stated that.this had • beein going on for some time and they were at the limit of their patience, they were losing revenue because of the City's inability to do something on this and they would like a decision as soon as possible, he said all they want is access to the area on the north side of the 10 unit hangar. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, stated he felt there must be some misunderstanding about the construction of taxiways, he said he knows of no.plans at anytime when the City would construct on the north side or in the tie down areas. A letter from the Rochester Airport Commission recommending that the City Clerk advertise for bids for grading, base and prime coat for taxiway construction on T-Hangar at the Rochester Municipal Airport, bids to be received on September 5, 1961, and these bids contingent upon arriving at a.satisfactory�land rental ggreement between Rocket Aero, Inc. and the City of Rochester, was read.
