1963 considered the request of Mr. Edwin Rundell regarding a proposed
R sidential development west of Northgate 2nd Addition in an area designated
for future industrial use on the City's adopted Land Use Plan.
In re -studying this area we feel that it can be served by the present Sunset
Terrace Elementary School, with some expansion as the need arises, and that
this development will fill out an established Residential area.
We also feel that there will be adequate Industrial area remaining to.
provide for furture expansion of.Industrial uses.
We therefore recommend that the adopted Land Use Plan of the City of Rochester
be amended in the following manner:
"All that part of the N. E. of Section 28, T107N; R14W which
lies N. E.ly of the Chicago & Great Western Railroad which is
now designated for future Industrial use be revised to provide
for future residential use."
The three following recommendations of the City Planning and Zoning Commission were eact

Mayor Smekta then read the following letter:
"Honorable Mayor Alex Smekta
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mayor:
A situation is developing here which, we believe, should be brought to your
attention. City property and city prestige are involved. The airlines, also,
are affected but taking direct action is beyond us.
The offenses originate at the airport by taxi drivers who solitict airline
passengers for transportation to downtown Rochester and the complaints are
about excessive charges.
Signs in the windows of some.of these cabs imply that one person or a cab
full may ride for a flat fee of $3.00. Upon arrival at the downtown destination
each person has been assessed $3.00 resulting in the complaints to us.
We believe these complaints are justifiable in as much as the normel meter
rate, which permits any number.of persons up to the cabs capacity to ride
-to a common downtown destination, is about $3.85.
During the past two weeks at least a dozen persons have griped to us about
the foregoing. It thus appears that this indiscriminate filching of
visitors, whom most of us respect and value highly as a very important
commodity in our business and social life, is increasing.
As mentioned before, there is little the airlines can do about this situation
direct, but we do feel that there must be some jurisdictional means or
processes available to stop this undesirable trend. We submit it to you,
Alex, for your -consideration and perhaps, referral to a propert source of
action.
Very sinderley,
IS T. S. ZAWASKY
District Sales Manager"
