Gentlemen: .. , .
This is to acknowledge receipt of a letter dated September 20, 1963 from Miss Reiter
together with an•attached`copy of the action taken by the City Planning and Zoning
Commission at its September llth meeting regarding the above referred to Final Plat.
As I understand it, -this matter was tabled at your September 16th meeting until we
could be contacted as to the Planning and Zoning Board's action. However, I was
aware of this action since I had attended that meeting and had asked that they
convey, along with their recommendations, our feelings on this matter. I was also
apprised of the fact that the matter of the North entrance or access was being
referred back to the Public Works Committee for further study and a conference
with our organization. As your Public Works Committee and -Mr. Armstrong have been
aware through our visits with them we were not in accord.with the original

recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Committee to close that -access
on a permanent basis and mott certainly were not in accord with having it
removed without our permission. We had indicated our willingness to
compromise this matter and we still stand ready to do so, however, we do
- not feel that -we have been accorded proper treatment when, without permission
on our part, this access is physically removed.
We have enjoyed the cooperation of the members of the City Council and other
officials of the City of Rochester and we feel we want to do everything
possible to continue this relationslip. Therefore, at our mutual convenience,
we will be happy to meet with your organization or your Public Works Committee
to discuss a method of compromise that need not work to the detriment.of
anyone.
Thank you for your past consideration and cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
/s Gerald P. Schoenfelder, President"

City of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
As the owner of certain lands in Section 26, Township 107 North, Range 14
West and having studied the proposed thoroughfare plan and zoning requirements
which are in effect upon my property, I make the following comments and
suggestions for your consideration, as shown on the enclosed blue print.
I believe it is in the best interests of the City of Rochester to proceed
with plan for the construction of the connection of 17th Street N.-E. from
Trunk Highway No. 63 to Elton Hills Drive and fulfill the development plan
as rapidly and feasibly as possible. The completion of this street will
provide: 1„ A more direct route to the Kellogg Junior High School.
2. An access from the East to the Lutheran School and proposed
Holy Cross Lutheran Church.
3. A route to I.B.M. and other establishments from the Easterly
section of Rochester.
4. A supplemental•Route for better fire, police and civil
defense protection.
5. Generally improve the cross town traffic in the Northerly
portion of the City.
6. Generally open this area for future development.
7. Open up a North park area. -
To further this project, I would consider offering the right-of-way for
street and park land, providing the City will -prosecute this work in the near.
future.
I would like your consideration of this matter and let me know your
comments, recommendations or suggestions for the accomplishments of the above
improvements.
Very truly yours,

"Mr. Alex Smekta, Mayor
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mr.�Smekta:
Attached are copies of a letter which I received from Mr. T. A. Rose, Station
Manager for Northwest Orient Airlines. Also copies of my letter to you explaining
the situation with respect to cab drivers' conduct at the airport.
At your direction I have checked with several tifferent cities to determine what
problems they have encountered with ground transportation at their airports and
what remedial action they have taken.
Madison, Wisconsin operates under a gentleman's agreement whereby the airlines
contract with the company of their choice to provide bus service for the people
arriving and departing on their airplanes. This contract being subject.to
Airport Board approval. At Madison this service is provided by Checker Bab
Company. The arirline bus driver is permitted carry traveler's baggage from
claim area to bus. Taxicabs are given a stand remote from baggage claim area
and in the event a traveler requests a cab, it is called and.the driver is
permitted to claim his fare's luggage. Otherwise, the cab drivers ate not
permitted in the teemminal. I am informed by the Airport Manager that there
has not been a violation of this gentlemen's agreement in over three years.
In the case of Waterloo, Iowa where there is only one Cab Company which also
operates the bus, the taxicab drivers are required to remain at their cabs until,
called while the bus driver is permitted to claim his passenger's luggage. If
a passenger requests a taxicab, it is called and the driver is allowed to claim
his fare's baggage.
The cab situuation at Minneapolis -St. Paul Metropolitan Airport is well
`explained in a letter which you will receive from Mr. Henry Kuitu, Executive
Director. `
Thew City Attorney of Duluth, Minnesota, is sending you a copy of their ordinance
governing ground transportation at the Duluth Airport.
After theee full years of operation at the new Rochester Municipal Airport, the
following facts are clear.
Acceptance of air transportation by the general public -has increased to the point
where many air carrier schedules deplane up to 68 passengers. These numbers
obviously cannot be serviced by taxicabs alone for the simple reason that there
are not enough cabs in Rochester. Since cabs are not` required -to meet all flights,
they are usually busy downtown,during inclement weather where they are able to
produce more revenue.
The above should'be ample evidence of the fact that large, comfortable buses are
needed to provide ground transport for the'50,000 plus people that arrive Rochester
annually by air. The Minnesota Railroad and Warhouse Commission must recognize
this also otherwise they would not have issued a franchise for such service at
Rochester. This franchise plus the agreement between the operator of the bus
service and the carriers operating through Rochester requires that the bus meet
all flights serving Rochester regardless of the number of deplaning passengers
and further that the bus operate over more or less fixedroutes at a fixed fare
of $1.25 per passenger.
Shortly after the bus service was started at the airport in the fall of 1960,
operators of taxicabs offered a flat fare of $3.00 between'the•airport and down-
town. This type of fare structure inevitably leads to abuses such as indicated
in the attached'news clipping from the Rochester Post Bulletin of May 7, 1963.
In view of t)ie above stated facts, we have arrived at the following conclusions
and offer remedial suggestions.
The buses -should be permitted to provide the services they offer -the airtraveler
without.interference by cut-rate taxicabs. Further that the City require all
taxicabs to charge the same meter rate at the airport that prevails -elsewhere in
and around the City.
Since for reasons of their own, certain travelers prefer taxicabs`. This service
should be provided under the,following conditions. Cab drivers to remain with
their cabs in designated-stands.and-upon call, come to the appropriate terminal
entrance and claim theirfare's baggage and under no circumstances should they
be allowed to solicit busines's inside or near the airport terminal building.
Respectfully yours,
/s Don Swenson, Manager"
Also letters from Minneapolis -St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission and T. A. Rose, Station
Manager of Northwest Airlines, Inc. were read. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that insofar
as the fare or rate is concerned he advised the Council that he felt they. had the authority,to

to fix the fare between the airport and the downtown area, and as far as solicitation is con-
cerned it might be appropriate to amend the ordinance to make more specific what is'intended.
He said the present.ordinance states that no cab driver -may solicit a fare while standing more
than three feet away from the vehicle and there isaquestion"over what the term solicitation
means; at present the Yellow Cab Company operates the airport bus via a franchise awarded by the
State Railroad and Warehouse Commission and the bus drivers are allowed in the airport and
presumably solicit passengers, under the new proposed ordinance they would not be allowed to do
SO* Alderman Thomas stated that he had just returned from Chicago today and had been approached
by two drivers from Yellow Cab Company and there were also two bus drivers in the terminal,
building; he said he thought maybe this could be controlled -by putting a stand outisde and then
have them called by a bell or signal of some kind. James J. Macken, Jr., Chief of Police,
stated that they had policed the airport but when a police officer is around the drivers just
stand around and do -not solicit in the building. After a lengthy discussion, a motion was made
by Leonard, second by Thomas, that this matter be referred to the Public Safety Committee and
the City Attorney, with the stipulation that they meet with the Airport Commission. All present
voted in favor of the motion.
Upon motion -by -Thomas, second by Wilson, and all present voting in favor thereof, the

Hills Subdivisions"• as provided in the accompanying plan, proposal and -special
provisions.
This recommended contract is a modification of the project on;which bids

deferred because of objections of property owners who would be assessed for

recommend that this reduced project be constructed with the funds available from
Builders Land Co. and the City funds, without special assessment to lots in Elton
Hills or other Subdivisions as previously proposed.
This partial construction will construct the relief trunk line in Cascade St.
from 13th Ave. to the outlet below llth Ave; a supplementary,main in 13th Ave. from
the trunk line to Elton Hills Drive; a supplementary main in Elton Hills Drive
from 13th Ave..to 12th Ave; and additional catch basin inlets. This construction
will provide" -relief from the flooding that occurs'on 13th AVeo near Cascade St.
The contract amount if $65,457.00 based upon the present quantities and the
unit prices bid in June 1963-0
