"The Honorable Mayor and Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
As of November, 1961, this office was in need of someone to bring all our
maps and plats up to date. Permission was granted by the Common Council to
hire a draftsman to get this work done.
Mr. Wayne Ter Veer was hired with the assistance of the Personnel Director.
At first, his work was mainly map and plat worIS but,then later, he was helping
in other phases of the Assessor's work. In the last year, he has been doing
appraisal work and most of the land valuation work. He has taken advantage
of all the Assessor's Courses available and has completed the Examinations
after each course, and has just recently passed the Examination to qualify
as Property Appraiser Ii.
I think it would be fair and reasonalble to change Mr. TerVerr's job classi-
fication from draftsman to Property Appraiser II. Therefore, with the consent
of the Common Council, it is my intention to appoint Wayne Ter Veer as Property
Appraiser II as of April 1, 1964, and to abolish the position of draftsman
in the Assessor's office.. I have di$cussed this change with Mr. Bakke, and he
can answer any questions pertaining to this proposed change of classification.
Respectfully yours,
/s Alfred Nelsen, City Assessor"

The following letters from Carl F.,Peterson of the Blue and White Cabs was read:
"ibiorable Mayor and Common Council
City of Rochester
Gentlemen:
We are opposed to the new ordinance pertaining to taxicabs and taxi stands at the
Rochester Airport. The taxi ordinance now on record is ample to govern the taxi
business. a
This new taxi ordinance is illegal because it discriminates against licensed drivers
and does not include drivers for hotels, and motels who do not have a license and who
solicit at the airport. It is also illegal because it gives the airport manager the
right to advertise taxi rates that are only part truth and not the rate we charge.
This airport is a public owned airport and is owned and financed by the citizens of
Rochester. It has a public restaurant and a public bar and rental car service stands,
all of which -pay rent and a street in front of the building that is a public street
the same as any street in the City of Rochester. .
We have laws that govern all people alike and we have a good police department who
tries to enforce the law fairly and impartially. We cannot see any reason to delegate
any of this authority to the airport manager.
The airport manager has the same rights as any other citizen and when he sees some one
doing wrong he may call the police or make a citizen arrest or swear out a warrant for
the offender as any one else would have to do in a public place or in a privately
owned airport.
This new ordinance if passed would make it necessary for out city attorney's office to
-defend the airport manager if any legal action is taken against him for things he may
do and rules he may.set at.the airport.
This new ordinance if passed would make it necessary for our city attorney's office to
defend the airport manager if any legal action is taken against him for things he may
do and rules he may set at the airport.
I do not believe it is right to give to a person who is not a citizen of Rochester and
is not an employee of the City the free legal protection of our City Attorney.
I am enclosing my recommendation for taxi ttands at the Rochester airport.
/s Carl F. Peterson
"Honorable Mayor and Common Conncil
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
This is my recommendation for the placing of taxi stands at the Airport and the
behavior of the bus.and taxi drivers.
A taxicab is any vehicle of less than nine passengers engaged in the transportation
of people and their luggage for remuneration and not on a fixed ourte and has a city taxi
plate and is painted as a taxi. Any owner.of a vehicle of less than nine passengers
that advertises transportation service and the serttce is subject to the purchase of
their products or rental of their rooms or one that excepts tips in place of meter fares
for such service should be subject the the rules and regulations governing taxi cabs
and drivers. All cabs -must be driven,by city licensed drivers and be plainly marked
and be there company color and have top lite and city license plate.
A taxi stand is a place on city streets or city owned or governed,property where
taxicabs may park while waiting for a fare. Only vehicles with city.taxi plates may
park in this stand.
Bus stand is a place where vehicles of more than nine passengers may park. No,
vehicle with a city taxi plate may park in this bus zone.
1. Place cab stand along north side of roadway in front of terminal building.
2. Place bus stands on south side of roadway on each end of terminal building
- west of the west entrance and east of the east entrances they.are now and the
space vacated by the cabs is to be used by the busses. Busses are not to
blocklock the view of airline passengers when they stand in the east or west
e entrance to to the terminal building so.they cant see the taxicabs.
3. Any vehicle that has a city taxi license must park in the taxi stand.
4. Bus drivers may stand by bysses and cab drivers may stand on the opposte side
of the entrance walk near curb. Spaces can be marked off.
5. If a P.A. announcement is made it should -be that both busses and taxicabs ®re
outside.
6. No one is to be allowed to solicit bus or taxi business except the driver of
each vehicle and only if there vehicle is in its proper place.
7. If prices are quoted it should be done with signs of the same size allowed to
be placed by each company side by side in the terminal.

treated unfairly was read and�xeferred to the Public Safety Committee.
The following letter from Don Swenson, Manager of the Rochester Airport, was also
read:
"Honorable Alex P. Smekta, Mayor
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mayor:
As per your instructions, yesterday morning I invited M'r. Carl Petersen of
Blue and White Cab and Mr: Joe Kremer of Yellow Cab to attend a meeting in
my office for the purpose of arriving at a decision as to where a common
taxicab stand should be located at the Rochester Municipal Airport. Mr.
Petersen was allowed to make his proposal which was as follows and which is
.
illustrated on the accompanying sketch. He requested that his cabs be
placed on the south side of a traffic island which is parallel and extends
the full length of the passenger terminal. Since the driveway between the
traffic island and the street side of.the terminal is only forty feet wide,
he requests that his drivers be permitted to solicit business on the sidewalk
immediately adjacent to the common baggage claim areas.
Since this plan does not eliminate the problem, it is unacceptable to Airport
Management, Northwest Airlines,' Braniff Airways and Ozark Airlines.
The common taxicab stand proposed by Airport Management and concurred in by
Northwest Airlines,,Braniff Airways, Ozark Airlines and Mr. Joe Kremer of
Yellow Cab is'located on the northwest end of the terminal parking lot as
illustrated on ;the accompanying sketch. Since this is common taxi stand,
on request cabs will be called on a rotating basis. In,other words the cab
at the head of the line will be called first and any cab discharging passengers
at the airport will proceed to the rear of the stand and wait his turn to be
c called. This plan, of course, is opposed by Mr. Peterson.
Since the latter plan is similar to that used by most major air terminals,
we respectfully urge its adoption.
Sincerely yours,
/s Don Swenson, Manager"

to the Finance Committee:
"Hon. Mayor and _
Common Council of Rochester
Gentlemen:
The absence of neighborhood play areas in N. W. Rochester, shakes it
expedient to acquire land in `the already,built *up areas. This space is
not readily adaptable for park usage, and is inordinately expenseive.
We have already recommended the Allendale area for one park site. In the
Elton Hills area, the preferable site (vy virtue of cost primarily) is
adjacent to 3rd Avenue, as defined below.
The Board of Park Commissioners would be glad to accept such an area for
development or maintenance if the City Fathers see fit to purchase it. We
feel the City's interest and that of N.W. Rochester would be better served
by the acquisition of land suitable for development, such as the Sabatke
property previously presented to the Council.
If the purchase of the smaller tracts, to fulfill immediate needs, precludes
the later purchase of the larger area, we are opposed to acquisition of the
Allendale and East P Elton Hills -area.

residential to multiple dwelling district -and find that the property to the north is now zoned
multiple dwelling and is used for this purpose, the propetty to the west is zoned commercial
but is unoccupied'at present, the property to the south is zoned residential and is occupied by
residential uses; the requested zoning amendment is an extension of an,existing multiple
dwelling district and therefore they -recommend that it bd granted approval, was read. Upon

ation was accepted and hearing on the proposed zone change was set for 7:30 o'clock P. M. on

•
reviewed the pbtition to change the zoning district on properties at 512, 219, 523 and 529 -
3rd Avenue Southwest from mutliple dwelling to commercial district and find that, the owner's
proposed use (a motel) is permitted in the multiple dwelling district and that the only basis
for requesting a change to the commercial district was to eliminate the requirements for side
yeard'space and rear yard space; there'is ample buildable area on this lot after the applica-
tion of the yard space requirements of,the multiple dwelling district to allow for the constr-
uction of the proposed motel; after careful consideration and discussion it was recommended
that the requested zone change b-e,denied, was read: Upon motion by Thomas, second by Leom rd,

denied. (Alderman McCaleb abstained from voting).

The recommendation of the 'City Planning and Zoning°Commission stating that they had
reviewed the petition to establish a uniform minimum front yard setback of 25 feet on all lots
•
in Jefferson Slopes 3rd Subdivision and find that if the minimum front yard setback provisions
of the Zoning 'Ordinance are applied to these lots that there would be established a variable
depth minimum front yard because the Ordinance requires the front yard to be not less than 20%
of `the depth of the lot and all of these lots differ considerably in depth; appropriately the
minimum front yard should not be related to the depth of the lot but should be'fixed distance;
recognizing this 'they recommend that a uniform minimum °front yard setback of 25- f-eet 'be
established for all lots in Jefferson Slopes 3rd Subdivision, was read. Upon motion by Thomas,
second by Leonard, - and all present voting `in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved
and a hearing on the setback lines was set for 7:30 o'clock-P. M. on January 6, 1964. +`
