The following letter from the National Board of Fire Underwriters was read and President

"Hon.. ,A lex P. Smekta
Mayor
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mayor Smekta:
Recently Mr. Ralph H. Link, Chief Engineer of the Fire Underwriters Inspection
Bureuau, met with three members of the City Council of Rochester and with Fire
Chief Frank Everett for the purpose of discussing the location of a new station
in the northwestern portion of the City. Mr. Link requested we review this
probelem and reply directly to you. .
Recommendation 10 (a) of the Recommended Improvement Program inclided in our
April,1962, Report indicates an additional engine company to be located in the
vicinity of U. S.52, between 19th and 22nd Streets, N. W., is deemed of most
importance. As we understand it, the northwestern portion of'the city has not.
developed much beyond what it was in 1961 when our engineers conducted their
survey. If this is true, it'would appear that our recommendation is still
applicable; the proposed site at 19th Street and 16th Avenue N. W.,certainly
would comply with our recommendation.
This office does not have any information pertaining to the predicted extent
of the future growth of the city and in what direction it will take place;
however, if substantial growth is•in the northwestern direction,it is very
possible another station would be needed to provide the necessary protection.
This reasoning,of course, holds true for any other part of the city which may
expand.
We trust the foregoing comments will be helpful,and if we can be of further
assistance please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Yours very truly,
/s A. J. Sella, Supervisory Engineer"

(N.E., S.E., S.W., or N.W.)
3. Streets and avenues that Conform strictly with the grid pattern in
alignment, but cannot be given a whole number, will be given a
fractional number. This practice should be held to absolute
minimum, and then used only on short streets or avenues.
Designation as a "Place" or "Court" should also be _considered
in preference to a fractional number.
4. Streets that cannmtbe properly designated and numbered as streets
or avenues because of irregular alignment or direction may be
designated as Courts, Drives, Roads, Ianes, Places, Circles,
Boulevards, or Parkways in accordance with the patterns shown
below, and aames instead of numbered.
Names shall begin with a letter whose position in the alphabet
E
a Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council,
of the City of Rochester, Minn., November 2, 1964
conforms with the nearest number in the grid pattern (A-1; Z-26,)
except in instances where a geographic or traditional.name for the
street would be especially appropriate or informative.
A name category (geographic, trees, birds, States, Presidents, etc.)
I shall be established in each quardrant for each alphabet series im
the quadrant.
Mayor Smekta stated that he felt they should use the grid pattern as much as possible, he said
there were places in Northwest Rochester that you could not find without a map and then even
with a map it was hard to find them; he said he thought this was ridiculous and was a waste of
time efid money for companies to send their representatives out on errands and then they were

Mr. Austin A. Mariam of 424 - 6th Street S. W. was present and presented a petition,
with 25 signatures,
requesting the following change in the proposed new Rochester Zoning and land Use Ordinance
That the north -south line between proposed R14 and P2 zoning areas (insofar
as the two blocks enclosed by Fourth Ave. S14 on the east, Fifth Ave. SW on the
west, Fifth St. SW on the north, and Seventh St. SW on the south, legally
described as Blocks 4,and 5 of Head and M,cMahon's Addition, and Blocks 4 and
90 of Original Rochester Plat are concerned) be moved approximately one half
block east from approximately the north -south alley in the center of these
two blocks to coincide exactly with 4th Ave. S.W. This would then mean all
property presently zoned Residential in these 2 blocks would then have R-2 Zoning
when the new ordinance is adopted.
A was made by Hanlon, second by Perry, that this petition be accepted and be considered

when the other various petitions are considered; .all voted in favor thereof.
Mr. Tom Wolf, Attorney for Silver Acres Inc., was present in regard to the Madonna
Towers property,, he said they had filed a petition to vacate 21st Avenue N. W. from the north
line of Rolling Greens 2nd Addition and the south line of 41st Street N. W. and also a petition
requesting a variance to allow the construction of a high rise ,apartment type nursing home of
12 stories and also for the construction.of more than one building on a lot in general conformity
with the,general development plan; these petitions, had been approved by the Planning & Zoning
Commission and the one on vacation of 21st Avenue had been referred to the Public Works
Committee; he said they would like to have this cleared up for financing reasons. It was pointed
out that two other streets,in Silver Acres development had already been vacated nad if 21st
Avenue were vacated there would be only one other street running completely through the develop-
ment and this would not be satisfactory from a fire protection standpoint. A.motion was made by
Hanlon, second by Eichten, that the petition for closing 21st Avenue be denied but that a hearing
be set for 7:30 o'clock P. M. on November 16, 1964 on the requested variance and upon roll call
and all voting in favor thereof, except Alderman McCaleb who voted "no", President DeVries
declared the motion carried.

Block 7 East Rochester Addition, part of Lots 5 & 7 and all of Lots,8-,12, Block 6, East Rochester
Addition from residential to commercial district, which had been tabled from the previous and
therefore requested that it again be tabled until,the next meeting. Upon motion by Eichten,
second by Hanlon, and all voting in favor thereof,.the recommendation was tabled until the

"The Honorable Mayor and Common Council
City of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
The undersigned members of the Public Works Committee have reviewed the request
of the Town Board or Boehwter Township relative to making the City's sanitary
sewer facilities available to township areas as set forth in the letter to the
Mayor and Common Council dated August 27, 1964, from Franklin Michaels, attorney
for Rochester Township.
Your committee concurs with the statement of the Town Board that sewage disposal
problems in Rochester Township may possibly develop into a health threat not only
to the township, but also to the City of Rochester. It was the realization of
this potential danger that led the Common Council to conclude, reluctantly, that
it would accept annexation of the developed areas of Rochester and Marion
Townships and attempt to solve their sewage disposal problems by local improvement
•
projects and special assessments under Chapter 429 of the Minnesota Statutes.
The Town Board or Coehster Township now requests that such portions of the
township as may be "feasibly" served by the City's sewage disposal system be
given service by the City through extension of its sewer mains into the
township areas. The Town Board does not suggest how such a project is to be
financed or'paid for, but does suggest that the township should pay for "services
rendered" and that the City would not be expected to carry the load.
Prior to the election on annexation, various County, City and Township officials
met on numerous occasions under'the auspices of the Board of Public Health and
Welfare to explore alternative solutions to the problem. To the knowledge of
your Committee, no satisfactory alternative to annexation was developed.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Public Works Committee that this
matter be referred backto the Town Board of Rochester Township with the
request that the Board be more specific in its proposal for extension of the
City's sewage disposal system into the township, and particularly, ,that the
Town Board be asked to set forth the method or methods by which this extension
could be financed and paid for.
Respectfully submitted,
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
