Rasmussen explained that he had apiece of land behind his building that wasuseless and he plannted on building a warehouse and dock•and also on having his trucks and employees cars parked back there so as to get them off of 9th Street; he said the builk of their freight comes by railroad and is pikked.up by their own trucks- Mr. Malcolm McKay of-727 - 12th Avenue N.

W. be omitted from this proposal, was read. Upon motion by Day, second by Hanlon, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved and a hearing on the proposed zoning was set for October 19, 1964 at 7:30 o'clock P. M. The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had reviewed the application of St. Mary's Hospital to very the maximum height regulations of the multiple dwelling district to permit the construction of a nine story addition to.the-hospital, they find that many of the present hospital facilities are -in need of expansion and that these facilf:eis are so located in the present hospital so as to make'it impractical from a functional and economic standpoint to consider a complete reorganization of these facilities or to put them in new locations and also find that the proposed addition is located substantial distances from the outer boundaries of the site and that the additional height whould not prove,to be deterimental to any of the adjoining properties, and therefore, recommend that the maximum height regulations of the Multiple Dwelling District be waived to permit the construction of a nine story addition to St. Mary's Hospital in accordance with the plans filed with this application, was read. Upon motion by Wilson, second by Day, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare the necessary resolution.

Upon - motion by Day, second by Eichten, and all voting in favor thereof,.the recommendation was referred to the Public Works Committee. The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had reviewed the possibility of declaring a moratorium on any further zoning district changes - until the proposed Zoning Ordinance is acted upon by the Common Council; to consider granting additional zoning districting amendments at this time, based on -the present Zoning Ordinance, seems -to us to be very unwise; with the proposed'Zoning Ordinance to be introduced to the Common 'Council on October 5; 1964 and with separate readings to be given the proposed Ordinance at three monthly intervals to be followed with final action -within one month after the -final reading, this moratorium would likely last for only 90 to 120 days; therefore, in order for the City of Rochest to be able to derive as much benefit from the proposed Zoning Ordinance as is reasonably possible, they recommend that the Common Council enact the necessary -ordinance or resolution to declare a moratorium -on receiving any further petitions for zoning district amendments until such time as the proposed Zoning'Ordinance has been acted upon; this moratorium to become effective as of the date of enactment of the necessary ordinance or resolution by the Common Council, and it would expire on the date the Council takes final action on the proposed Zoning Ordinance, was read. Alderman Hanlon said he did not favor moratorium but he thought the motivation behind this was a real one, he said he thought this was one of the most important issues before the Council and an honest effort should be made to study it; he said unless they are honestly going to try to adopt this he did not think they should waste a -lot of time going over it, but if the Council was serious about adopting it, he thought meetings should be set up in the near future to study it further, he thought it should be brought to one conclusion or other but did not feel this Council had made an honest effort.' Alderman Wilson stated that he'opposed one -provision in particular and that was 0 4iE� Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council • of the City of Rochester, Minn., September 21, 1964 concerning non -conforming use properties, he said the way it was set up it would devaluate the property and indicated if this Section could be changed he would be ready to vote on it. Alderman Day stated he did not feel this had been given eough study, that the work on it was done by Ladislas, Segoe & Associates instead of the Council. President DeVries said.the Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission and -others had met on the proposed ordinance every noon for over 1� years and had gone over it page by page. Alderman McCaleb said he had been a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission and also of the Council but had not as yet made up his mind on it but as of now he was opposed to it.
