President Tingley called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock P. M., the following members being present: President Tingley, Aldermen Bergstedt, DeVRies, Leonard, Morris, Thomas, Wilson. Upon motion by Wilson, second by Morris, and all voting in favor thereof, the minutes of) the meeting of April 2, 1962 were approved. President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set for a public hearing on the Thoroughfare Plan and the Land Use Plan for .the City of Rochester. Mr. Jack Brengman, President of the Planning & Zoning Commission,. outflined the -thoroughfare plan, street by street, and pointed out the said streets on the map which was on display; he said the plans were just an instrument setting forth basic planning principles for which the rest of the comprehensive plan, if and when adopted, would be based, he said basically the thoroughfare plan follows existing routes. Mr. Arnold Gangness of 841 - llth Avenue Southeast was present and inquired what was the purpose of cutting through the Park. Mr. Bregnman said that the opinion of the Commission was that as the East and Southeast of Rochester grows there appeared to be a need for better access from the Southeast to the Northeast portion of the City and it was their opinion that for continuity of traffic it would be beneficial to extend llth Avenue through the Park area and connect to the County Road at 12th Street. Mr. Tom McDonnell, President of the Board of Park Commissioners, was present and stated that while they do not in any way want to stand in the way pf progress,, they would,guard with jealousy park property under their care, they raise mild objection to the distrubance of .Slatterly Park, if this has to be they will not stand in the way of progress but want it very thoroughly considered for the Park. Mr. Dan Macken, Jr. spoke in favor of llth Avenue going through Slatterly Park he said he thought more people would be able to get to the park by car and thereby be used by more people in Northeast and Southeast Rochester. Mr. Richard bison, Chairman of the,Community Development Committee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, was. present and urged that this plan be adopted. Mrs. George Spoo also spoke in -favor of adopting the plan. Mrs. Josephine Ewert, a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, said it seemed as if llth Avenue Southeast was the only place there was any real controversy and if -the rest of the plan was satisfactory thought. it should be adopted. Mr. Arnold Gangness,iMr. William Carey, Mr. Harry Meyers and Mr. -John Costello all spoke opposing the extending of llth Avenue through Slatterly Park. Mr. Joe Weis was pre'sent and inquired what the plans were fro Broadway; Mr. Brengman said the plan provided that Broadway stay -as it is, he said Ladislas Segoe had recommend 1 that possibly in the future Broadway should be placed to the east to Believe traffic congestion in the downtown area but the Commission felt it should stay as it is for the present. Mr. Clair Fisher inquired what was proposed for 1st Avenue Southwest south of 6th Street, he said he understood it was to be brought into Broadway off of 6th Street; Mr. Brengman told him this was recommended by Ladislas Segoe but'the plan now presented left First Avenue aslit is now. Mr. Fred . , Sauer inquired where Memorial Parkway was proposed to run; Mr. Brengman said it runs along the 680 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 9, -1962 , • OSWALD PUBLISHING CD.,NEW ULM, MINN.

President Tingley declared the hearing officially closed. Mr. John Brengman, President of the Planning and Zoning Commission, then outlined the land use plan; He said unless we go on the assumption that the thoroughfare plan that is before us is acceptable, there is not much point in discussing the land use plan, but assuming that it is acceptable we could run through the land use plan, he then went over the land use plan starting at the south and going north and'go-iing over each section. After a short discussion a motion was made by Bergstedt, second by Morris, that this land use plan be taken under advisement by the Common Council. Upon roll call, all voted in favor thereof.

President Tingley asked the City Attorney what effect this appointment would have on Captain Slatterly's case which is now in court. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that it was his.recommendation that this certification be made; the propspect of this certification was brought.out.in the proceedings at District Court and at the•City's request and with the concurrence of the opposing side, no temporary injunction issued to prohibit further certification or appointment to fill the alleged vacancy in the position•of Captain in the Rochester Police Department. The reason the certifica- tion and appointment is made at this time is that the eligible register of Captains -will expire in May and if appointment is not made at - this time, there will be no availalbe appointees without further examination and the position will remain vacant until a new register is established. In addition if the litigation is successful Captain Slatterly's rights are completely protected.

This Committee was requested to determine what XmmpdipLte measures can be taken to alleviate the problems. 2. We have already used the services of the Soil Conservation Service for a field check and consulatation, but it is likely that any work planned or done prior to a full survey and approved program, would have to be done independently of their services. We will continue to explore this matter and make further recommendations as to what, if any,immediate measures should be taken by the City. 3,. We recommend that the City Council make application to the State Soil Conservation Committee for participation in the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention program administered by the Soil Conservation Service for survey and work program on the South Zumbro River, Cascade Creek,,and Bear Creek. To consider the matter fully and initiate the application, we request the Council to meet on Tuesday, April 17, at 7:30 P.M., with a representative of the Soil Conservation Service, and to invite the County Board of Commissioners together with the Dodge and Olmsted Conservation District Boards.
