MrA. James Thompson of 704 - 5th Street S. W. was present. He stated that he was a
real estate broker and was interested in the progress of the city but felt that this proposed
ordinance was far too comples and could not be interprested by the average individual; he said
he did not feel they needed to be constantly restrained and he felt this was what this ordinance
would do and he was not too sure but that this proposed ordinance was not an infringement on
their constitutional rights especially the 14th amendment. He also stated that he felt the
Council was giving away certain of its powers to the Zoning Board which he did not think they
should do. He also brought up the point of shopping centers and did not think people should have
to report on loans made or financial stability.
before even considering adopting it.
He urged that the Council study this further
Mr. James Stadler of 807 - 4th Street S. W. was present 'and questioned what the City was
trying to do; he said zoning was a valuable tool to work with when it,comes to city planning, he
said he.had studied city planning and had worked with Housing Redevelopment Authority and had
gotten involved in the making and results of zoning and what the purposes if for and felt he
understood it to a certain extent. He said Rochester was unusual in that it had so many transients
caning to the Clinic and felt more consideration should be given to what he feels is the largest
industry =- renting; he said it -was not possible for a plan of this nature to be instigated
without considering the people with property; he said*Rochester is barely familiar with slum areas
.and what goes with_it, but felt such areas would develop if people were not allowed to maintain
and revamp their property, He said there are many areas in Rochester that are not high in quality
but are maintained fairly well but with the increased restrictions the incentive to do this will be
lost; he recommended that this ordinance be given further'study before anyaction is taken.
Mrs. John Adams of 141) Graham Court stated that she did not feel it was zoning that was
causing the _slum areas but that it was the invasion of residential areas by non -conforming uses
that caused property to go down. She said these people that are against'this proposed zoning
ordinance.have not come forth with any alternative proposals and she would like to know what their
alternatives are.
Mr. Stanley Mohn, Realtor was present and cited*.an instance of an example of what he
thought this ordinance would do. He said he had a house for sale on East Center Street and the
people were not able to get a loan on it because if the new ordinance was adopted this property

Gentlemen:

At a meeting of the Airport Commission held on July 24, 1963, the matter of

Municipal Airport was considered, together with the proposal of Northern
Natural Gas Company to install a gas main on the airport property to a meter
site selected.by the city, and at monthly rates on an interruptable basis of
804� per 1,000 cue ft. for the first 300,000 cu. ft. and 50¢ per 1,000 cu. ft.
--on gas in excess of 300,000 cu..ft. with estimated 24 days interruptable gas
service.
0n the basis of the estimate of Northern Natural Gas Company, that the City of
Rochester and Gopher Aviation, Inc. will have a combined savings of approximately
$2,.145.00'per year in'space heating.fuel costs, and in view of the fact that gas
conversion equipment is already installed in city owned buildings at the airport,
' and the cost of changing to natural gas will be minimal.'
It was the consensus of the Airport Commission that the City should enter into
the contract with Northern Natural Gas Company --copies of which have been
delivered to the City Clerk.
Yours truly,
/s Don Swenson,.Chairman.
