of their drainage.water could hit Bel Air Subdivision; he said he did not feel he should pay for
storm,sewer on someone else's property when he already had it, in his property; Mr. Armstrong
said there was,onl.y 1.6 acres of Sunrise Estates that drains into this proposed sewer, he said
they had constructed there own sewer but water that comes off these 6 lots -or 1.6 acres would
drain into the Bel Air area. Mr. James Honer, representing C. J. Silver, was also present and
stated that at present their land was undeveloped and they would be building their own storm
sewer and would construct it so.the water would drain away from Bel Air Subdivision; he.said
they were contemplating developing a portion of the land with FHA money and this assessment
would make it extremely difficult because the assessment would.have to be paid.before a loan •
could be made; he said if all these additional assessments had to be paid they would not be
able to build the low cost houses as planned because these assessments would have to be added
into the total cost of the project. After hearing those present, President DeVrl.es declared
the hearing officially closed. Mr. Ahrens and Mr. Honer were invited.to attend the ne:ct
meeting of the Public Works Committee to discuss these assessments further; the next meeting
of the Public Works Committee was to be held Wednesday, May 20th.
Hearing on proposed change of zoning of Outlot 2, South Home 2nd Addition from
residential to commercial district. Mr,. John Steck of 1203 - 8k Street S. E. was present and
spoke in behalf of the property owners in this vicinity; he said they were not opposed to the
Elks Club building here but would like to have only that portion of Outlot 2 on which the Elks
building stands changed to commercial rather than the whole Outlot, this then would prevent
sale of a portion of the Outlot to be used for a factory or something similar. Mr. C. J. Cecil,
Trustee of the Elks Club, was present and said they wre not opposed tp this and would go along
with changing only the portion of Outlot 2, South Home Addition, on which the Elks building
is built. T. 0. Moore, Planning Director, suggested that thebalance of the Outlot be changed
to multiple dwelling district; he said the question came to his mind regarding a technicality
concerning the matter of a zoning=district which evidences that you pick out an area 87.4 by
148.4 feet for rezoning to commercial and he thinks that what you are doing is recommending
Outlot 2 as an area that would be suited for multiple dwelling uses, as an aside from this on
the basis for allowing.this building from being here, the only reason you are thinking along
these lines is because there is an ordinance that a liquor license can only be issued to property
that is zoned commercial and he thinks you should recognize Outlot 2 as multiple dwelling and
further define the building site.. There was no.one else wishing to be heard. President DeVries
declared the hearing officially closed. A motion was then made by Perry, second by McCaleb, that
the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an ordinance changing the property on which the Elks
building is located to.commercial district and leaving the balance of Outlot 2 as residential;
all voted in favor thereof, except Alderman Hanlon who voted "no". Alderman Perry presented
letters from Ambrose King of 703 - 13th Avenue S. E.; David T. Carr, M.D.; Arnold Gangness of
841 - llth Avenue S. E.; Cal Haass of 1022 - 5 th Avenue S. E.• James Ward of 825 - 13th Avenue
S. E. and Mr. C. Railey of 1109 - 8k St. S. E. each stating that they were in favor of zoning

"TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR
AND COMMON COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER
Gentlemen:
The Rochester Bus Lines, Inc. is petitioning the Minnesota Railroad and Ware-
house Commission for certain curtailments, modifications and eliminations of
service. The modifications in routes are for better operating efficiency. The
curtailments of service and elimination of routes is necessitated by lack of
riders on said routes. In addition thereto, Saturday schedules have been
effected by the fact of the rise in five-day weeks. A copy of the petition is
being filed with this letter with the City Clerk.
We request the City Council to approve these changes. We would be pleased to
give any information that you would request in this matter. We have petitioned
for -these changes rather than to petition for an increase in fares at this time.
Even -with the changes the Rochester Bus Line, Inc. is providing more service
than comparable bus lines in this area.
We:would appreciate consideration by the City Council and the necessary action
that is required by City ordinance.
Very truly yours-,
ROCHESTER BUS LINE, INC.

Day stated that he thought the bus situation in Rochester is deplorable and most of the buses
on the streets are in a disgraceful condition, he said he would vote against granting the
franchise to Rochester Bus Line to operate if the situation isn't changed; he said he didn't
think anyone should have to lose money when in business and would be interested in studying and
discussing the possibility of a.different firm or. even subsidizing the present one. Alderman

of every fifteen minutes, might increase passenger loads and thereby increase revenues. .A motion

"Hon. Alex P. Smekta, Mayor
and
The Common Council of Rochester
Gentlemen:
Regarding a Park site in Meadow Parks Development, adjacent to Public
School grounds amounting to approximately 4-acres in area.
The Park Commissioners, at their meeting of May 5th, approved the
acquiring and establishing of a park site at the same raw land price
that the Rochester Public Schools acquired grounds for a school,
providing an approximate 9-acres, located im approximately the center
of the being developed Meadow Park area.
We are asking the council to approve the option, at no cost, to
acquire the 4-acres at a price of not over $3,000.00 an acre.
Probable development of the area will be 2-4-5 years in the future.
The gchool Board is in accord with the Park Commissioners of the
desirability of having an adjacent Park Playground area at this
location.
The Park Commissioners feel that this piece of property will take care
of our park needs in this development as proposed at this time.
Sincerely yours,
/s Virgil M. Elliott, Secretary
Board of Park Commissioners"

the Finance Committee for study and recommendation. Alderman Day stated that he was not in favor
of every time the School Board buys ten acres of land that the City buy four acres, he felt there
was possibly playground area in the school land and a park would not be needed so close to the
school area. Alderman Hanlon stated that he thought the Council should have a liaison between the
Council and the School Board, he said often times these neighborhood parks are very expensive and
and with a little study and working together some of these problems could be solved. Mayor Smekta
said he would be very happy to appoint a liaison officer to the school.
The following letter from the Board of Park Commissioners was read and upon
motion by Perry, second by Eichten, the letter was referred to the Public Safety Committee; a
motion was then made by Perry, second by McCaleb, that the above motion be amended to include the
Mayor's Parking & Traffic Committee and all voted in favor thereof; President DeVries then
called for a vote on the motion as amended and all voting in favor thereof, President DeVries
declared the motion carried and the letter was referred to the Public Safety Committee and the
Mayor's Parking & Traffic Committee: .
"Hon. Alex P. Smekta, Mayor .
and
The Common Council of Rochester '
Gentlemen:
There is an ever more pressing need in our Culture.Center for rqplatory
car parking.
The Board of Park Commissioners are calling this to your attention
because users of the Mayo Civic Auditorium cannot be assured adequate
parking for exhibitors and patrons of events at the Auditorium, Art
Center and new Civic Theater.
The Park Board wishes your approval of a concession style contract
between National Garages and the Mayo Civic Auditorium where regulated
parking will be assured at a. rate .of 25¢ minimum and maximum for a
24-hour period.
The total cost and maintenance and operation would be to the National
Garages. The Auditorium will receive 50% of the gross receipts.
Management of the operation would be directed from the Board of Park
C6cn6is6i6ners in cooperation with National Garages, at no additional
cost to the City of Rochester

26 signatures of property owners and residents in this area was read together with the analysis
of this petition protesting submitted by T. 0. Moore, Planning Director; the analysis stated

er Richard Lebeck, was present and requested that the Council turn down the recommendation of

reviewed the petition to change the zoning districting on the south k of Lot 3 and all of Lot 8
Block 17 and Lots 5 and 10, Block 18, Golden Hill Addition from residential to industrial

transitional period, and therefore recommend that this petition be denied, was read. Mr. Carl
Riser of 1838 First Avenue S. E. was present and stated that they lived next door to this
property and felt it were zoned as industrial it would be detrimental to their property. A

Alderman Day who voted "no".

The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they
had reviewed the preliminary plat of Hillview Resubdivision of Outlots 1 and 2, Elton Hills 7th
Subdivision and find that this area is above elevation 1100, which for many years has been the
upper limit of adequate domestic service and fire protection service for the City's low level
water distribution system; all lands above this elevation have been provided water from the
development of a second high level water distribution system; the water pressure, at the hydrant)
in this area, is low and would require the installation of individual house booster pumps to
provide an adequate domestic water supply; fire protection would be available, but would be of
a marginal level of service and because of these factors, they recommend that -this plat be
disapproved by the Council, was read. Alderman Eichten moved that the recommendation be approve
and the plat be diapproved; his motion was lost for want of a second. The matter of the water
pressure was discussed and Frank Everett, Fire Chief, stated that you only get about 20 lbs. of
full pressure here, due to the elevation, and then the full pressure only -at the foot of the
hill which would not be enough- if there were a fire; Mr..Everett requested that he be put on
record as being opposed to approval of this plat. -It was then suggested that probably low level
houses could be built and this pressure could then take care of fire protection. Mr. Fred
Sauer, one of the owners, was present and said he would sign an agreement to the effect that
the three lots on the south side of 20th Street N. W., as shown on the plat, would be
restricted to low level height houses. Upon motion by Hanlon, second by McCaleb, and all voting

collusion between any of the firms, the market for liquid chlorine is very.competitive and if
one firm cuts prices at one letting then other firms.adjust their prices the next time bids are
let. Upon motion by McCaleb, second by Perry, and all voting in favor thereof, except Alderman
