Richard Maass, representing the Holy Cross Lutheran Church, was present and stated that they
were not aware of this assessment and inquired how the amount was arrived at. C.A.Armstrong,
City Engineer, informed him that ever since the water tower was built, deferred assessments have
been carried and as the land is annexed the charge is made to the developers; the charge has
been the same rate, the unit cost per acre times the number of acres; in this case it was 15.0
acres @ $186.91 per acre or a total of $2,803.65. He was also told that this could be spread
over a period of 10 years if they so desired. There was no one else wishing to be heard.

The following letter was read:
"Rochester City Council
City Hall
City
Gentlemen:'
The proposed budget for the 1964-65 fiscal year includes an item to
complete the $100,000 purchase of the Minnesota Highways Department buildings
at 4th St. S. E. for the use of the City Engineer's Department.
The School Board sought this property and was told by the state that there
was a `moral obligation" to sell to the city for the.engineer's department
and no price could be quoed. o
•
Due to the fact that this site would be an ideal location for an elementary
school and neighborhood center for meetings and by conversion to a school could
save the local taxpayers money in the building of school additions, I would like
to protest such an action on the part of the council. I have found the
neighborhood friendly to a school site, but opposed to the continuance of road
equipment noises at all hours.
Why does the City Engineer need so much space? Why do we need separate
buildings for city departments? Why do we need to consider the construction
of a new city hall? I .
The over -loaded tax -payer would look with favor onthe city selling the
site to the school board for $100,000 and save money in the proposed plan to
construct five new additions to city schools for $900,000.
Sincerely yours,
/s Willard H. Knapp"
Mr. Knapp and stated that he had an interview with Dr. Moon, Supt. of Schools, on
was present
this matter; he said it had been a personal idea of his for a long time to use the property of
the Minnesota Highway Department for a school; he said all of the children living in the Southeast

area north of the river and in Homestead Addition had to go to Holmes School and if they had
to add to Holmes School anymore they would have no area for playground left. Mayor Smekta
told Mr. Knapp that he did not think -he had investigated this and gotten all the facts, because
at one time the School Board owned a piece of property just south of Homestead Memorial Church
and they had sold it so he did not think they were planning on a school in this area.. Preside
Tingley stated that this would cost the city only $100,000 and if the school were to acquire
build here they would have to raze the present building and start anew and this would probably
cost $500,000. The letter was ordered placed on file.
The following letter from the Board of Park Commissioners was read:
"Hon. Alex P. Smekta, Mayor
and II
The Common Council of Rochester
. Gentlemen:
Your Park Board is aware of the fact that, our City must have sufficient
quantities of land in the right geographic locations and of the right
character to meet present and future needs.
With this fact in mind, we have been appraising the various geographic
locations areound our City, and have arrived at a decision that the
Sabathke farm of two hundred acres, in Section 15 of Cascade Township,
fits the description of lands that should be'acquired. In the first
place, it adjoins the present city limits. Second, it adjoins the
fastest growing section of the city, which is the section in which we
have the most serious lack of park properties. Third, and most
important, the land has natural topography that could be readily -adapted
.to.a wide variety of recreation uses without any extensive grading or
earth moving operations.
To discharge our obligation to the citizens of Rochester, these lands
must be acquired now, or in the very near future, if we expect to get
them at a figure that is anywhere within reason.
For the above mentioned reasons, the Park Board respectfully requests
the Common Council to take the appropriate action to secure the above
described property for future park properties.
Respectfully submitted, ,
BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
/s T. M. McDonnell"
Mayor Smekta recommended that the Board of Park Commissioners meet with the Board of County
Commissioners before theis land is acquired, he siad he thought the County should be partici-
pating in the acquisition of lands for parks especially when they are located outisde the city
limits. Mr. McDonnell, President of the Park Board, stated that the reason for busmitting this
request at this time was that they had gotten caught short out in Northwest Rochester and felt
they should be planning'for the future. Upon motion by Bergstedt, second by Leonard, and all
voting in favor thereof, the letter was referred to the Finance Committee for study and
recommendation (the Finance Committee to meet with the Mayor, the Board of -Park Commissioners
and the County Commissioners).
The two following resolutions adopted -by the Board of Park Commissioners were then
read:
"WHEREAS, the City of Rochester, its residents at the present time, its
visitors of the present time, and its residents and visitors of the future,

Mr. T. M. McDonell was present and stated that if they were to receive the property in.the first
resolution, Horse Thief Cave Area, they would develop this into a camp site and thought there
was a possibility of getting this land free, the Park Board would then only have to develop it
and he thought the cost would be very low. Mr. McDonnell also stated that if they could
negotiate for the State Quarry Area they would use this land for picnic facilities and hiking
trails, etc., he said they were in hopes they could purchase this land for about only $100.00
per acre, there are approximately 160 acres in this area; he also thought the cost for develop-
ing this would be nominal. After further discussion a motion was made by Bergstedt, second by
Leonard, authorizing the Park Board to begin negotiations with State Officials to obtain this
property. All voted in favor of the motion.

The following letter was read and upon motion.by Bergstedt, second by McCaleb, and
all voting in favor thereof, the same was referred to the City Planning & Zoning Commission:
"The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the Common Council
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:.
The city health department received during the last week two complaints from
residents of the Elton Hills area in relation to odors from the Rochester
sewage treatment plant.
When the plat for East Elton Hills Subdivision was presented,for.approval to
the City Planning Commission, the health department questioned the practicality
of allowing residential development so close to the present city sewage
treatment plant. General inspection of this area indicates that more and more
residential developments are taking place in this neighborhood.
A sewage treatment plant, by its nature, is a potential nuisance. Regardless
of.the excellence of the management, problems of odors will arise at certain
times of the year, depending on temperature, humidity, wind conditions, etc.
Since the present sewage treatment plant Vepresents a very important
investment of the community, it seems advisable that this investment should
be protected by restricting the use of adjacent areas to only agriculture
or industrial uses. If residential developments are allowed close to the
plant the people in these residential developments will experience the
unpleasant odors from the sewage treatment plant with consequent
complaints.' Such complaints may stir up public opin6on and create a
demand that the sewage treatment plant be removed.
It is a well-known fact that substantial improvements to increase the degree of
treatment of the present sewage treatment plant must be undertaken in the very
near future, and such improvements will have to be considered in a special bond
issue. It can be possible that residents of the area will oppose the improve-
ments to the sewage treatment plant as a means of obtaining the removal of the
plant from the area.
Because of these considerations, this board of health thinkgs that it is
important to protect the public interest and suggests the township and the city
get together to zone the area ddjacent to the sewage treatment plant in such a
way that no residential development can take place.
We are sending a similar communication to the Olmsted County Board of
Commissioners, Cascade Town Board and the City'and County Planning Commission,
and we hope that some positive steps can be taken to prevent the loss to the
community of the important investment in the sewage treatment plant.
Sincerely yours,
/s Malcolm K. Campbell, M. D. President
_ Board of Public Health and Welfare"

The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they
had reviewed the petition to change the zoning on Lot 3, Block 22, Golden Hill Addition from a
residential district to commercial district and find that this requested zone change is not in
accordance with the City's adopted land use.plan; they also note that since this petition was
first denied by the -Common Council on April 1, 1963 there have been no substantial changes in •
hte zoning in this area and therefore, recommend that this petition for a zone chanbe be denied,
was read. The following letter from Mrs. Inez G. Schaefer, owner of the property, was read:
"Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
It is my understia nding that the Zoning Commission will.report to your
meeting Monday night, November 18th. Since I cannot attend this meeting
I am writing this letter. -
Last winter my petition to have my Truck Service property changed from
residential to commercial zone was denied but a variance was granted
so I could enlarge my commercial.building on the property. This
enlargement was made.
In October"again I made application for this zone change, since I feel
it is absurd that my property should be classified as residential, the
reasons I am sure have been brought out many times. At the October
meeting, altho there was NO OBJECTORS to my application, the commission
voted to table the matter, so all my neighbors could be sent written
notices of a future meeting, thus to be sure there were NO OBJECTORS -
incidentally there had been NO OBJECTORS at the meeting last winter
either. Last Wednesday night the second hearing on my present applica-
tion was held, after due notice had been sent out to all who might
object. Again there were NO OBJECTORS, yet the Commission denied my
application. There was an effort made to have me agree to dedicate an
unknown amount of land, should a belt line come along the side of my
property. This of course I was not in a position to do at this time. I
am truly concerned over this denial, since all agree my property is, and
always has been commercial and I have a considerable financial investment.
Granted, I may continue to do business there, but my worry is great. For
example should I hate a fire, under my present zoning the rebuilding
limitation would be most serious. I realize that a new zoning ordinance
is under consideration which may change things for all of us, but until
that is in effect I feel it is very unjust to discriminate against my
property by this denial. I appreciate the members of the Zoning Commission
are acting cautiously on these matters, and rightly so, and I am•most
appreciative of the time and interest they have given me, but'I do want •
to bring this matter -before the council in the hope that further consider-
ation may come from you genteemen. .Again thanking you for any and all
consideration you find it possible to show in this matter, I am
Respectfully yours,
/s Inez G. Schaefer"
