"Honorable Common Council
,of the City of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Arthur Hotel Company is undertaking an extensive building program in Rochester. On
property now owned and recently acquired on Second Avenue Southwest, bordered on the
north by Third Street and on the south by Fourth Street Southwest our company has
plans for,stores, as well as business and professional offices. It is -our intention
to provide underground parking facilities to accomodate not only our guests but the
other tenBntS. 'There is no question but what this facility will add greatly to the
downtown business area of Rochester and there is no question but what the building
and facilities will add greatly to the tax base of the City.
Our financial advisors have informed us that it is absolutely necessary in order
to guarantee a fair return on our investment that we must have adequate parking
facilities for our tenants and guests. This requires that a.portion of our under-
ground facilities extend to the -curb line on the west side of Second Avenue between
Third and Fourth.Streets Southwest.
We have had several consultations with the City Building Inspector and City Engineer
and we are prepared to comply in every respect with the requirement§ for this under-
ground facility. We are further prepared to.save harmless the City of Rochester from
any loss or damage occasioned by the construction of this facility under its sidewalk
and boulevard and moreover, we will agree to install, at our expense-, an under the
sidewalk heating arrangement for keeping the sidewalk clear of ice -and snow.
It has been suggested that the Engineer'.s office and Building Inspector's office
will approve of our plan subject to the submission of an application through proper
channels, namely to the Common Council. Time.is of the essence to us inasmuch as'
final plans must be prepared and our construction begun as quickly as possible to
take advantage of the best season'for construction.
Our request, therefore, is that the Council approve and grant to us a permit for the
construction of an underground facility bordering upon the west side of Second Avenue
Southwest between Third and Fourth Streets all to be done in accordance with plans
and specifications to be approved by the City Engineer and the Building Inspector and
subject, of course, to our having harmless the City of Rochester from any loss pr
damage by virtue thereof.
We thank you in advance for your early and favorable consideration to this application..
Yours respectfully,
ARTHUR HOTEL COMPANY:
s/JAMES P. WOLD." _

"To the Honorable Mayor and the Common
Council of the City of Rochester, Minn. ,
Gentlemen:
We have been informed that the Ordinance rezoning our property at 3020 North Broadway
from residential to commercial, and to given its second reading this evenine, hhs been
changed from our original request, and excludes the north thirty-three (33') feet of
the area involved. On this thirty-three feet, there has been erected a commercial
building. Since this is all a portion of the same piece of property, all of which was
zoned commercial at the request of the City Planning and Zoning Commission; we request
that this ordinance be amended under Section ten -Variances (a) of Ordinance Number
Five hundred and fifty eight to include this thirty-three feet as -commercial property.
We had, at the time this property was zoned commercial,, -agreed to give one hundred and
seventy feet ,as right of way for Circle Parkway whose proposed location has since been'
changed. We did not realize that when our property was rezoned commercial this one hund-
red and seventy feet was excluded. 'We therefore sold this property to Mr. Richard
Postier as commercial property, and he obtained a commercial building permit tin the
basis of the zoning map which indicated the property to be�commercially zoned.
-In as much as Circle Parkway, and existing roads, will give access to the property
east of ours, we feel it is unnecessary to reserve this thirty-three feet, which
in any event could be obtained by the city through condemnation proceedings regard-
less of whether it is residential or commercial.
Very truly"yours,
s/ FRANCIS G. SEHL
s/ GERTRUDE B. SEHL"

Alderman Bergstedt introduced the following resolution which was read: .
"Be it Resolved by the Common Council of the City of Rochester that the Legislature of
the State of Minnesota is hereby requested to enact special legislation granting to
the City of Rochester the authority to issue an additional "on sale" intoxicating liquor
license to a licensee located at its municipal airport presently located outside the
territorial limits of the city approximately eight miles eouth of the City*of Rochester.
That the issuance of such license be in all respects in accordance with the laws of the
State of'Minnesota and subject to the regulation, control and police power of the City
of Rochester, except that the license would be in addition to those which a city of the
second class is now authorized to issue and could be issued only to a licensee located
in the terminal building of the Qstp Rochester Municipal Airport whether such airport
is located within or without the territorial limits of the City of Rochester.'
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in the Alternative, the Legislature of the State of Minnesota
is hereby requested to enact general legislation authorizing first and second class
cities or second class cities which operate municipal airports within or without their
territorial limits, having regularly schedule airline service, and having a minimum
passenger volume fixed by the Legislature, to issue one additional "on sale" intoxicating
liquor license under the sane or similar circumstances and limitations set forth above
in the request for special legislation."
President Tingley stated that it was his' understanding that this license would be issued to the
City of Rochester or the Rochester Airport Company and was not in favor of issuing it to an
individual who would then turn around and sell it at a large sum. A motion was then made by
DeVries, second by Bergstedt that the said resolution be adopted as read and all voting in favor
thereof except President Tingley who voted "no" the resolution was declared passed and adopted.
A motion was made by Leonard, second by DeVries and all voting in favor thereof, that the
recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission to initiate a change of zoning on the East-West
Alley in Block 2, Conley's Addition be lifted from:the table. A motion was made by Leonard,
second by DeVries that the said recommendation be approved and a hearing be set for the proposed
change of zoning at 7:30 o'clock P. M. on March 18th, 1963. All voted in favor thereof.
