Re: C.S. 5510 (T.H. 63)
North Broadway '
Referral of Public Work's Committee
Under date of November 2, 1964 the Public Work's Committee of the Rochester
City Council referred a petition for curb and gutter on North Broadway (T.H. 63)
from 16th Street N. E. to 17th Street N. E. to the Minnesota Highway Department for
consideration: This petition was submitted to the city by residents in the
concerned area.
Our -present improvement project on North Broadway is the final one of
several previous proposals which for one reason or another were rejected. Some
of the early Department proposals did show curb and gutter section throughout.
Two considerations prompted the plan being bdilt as it is; they being (1) a
design adequate to accommodate anticipated (1983),traffic volumes; (2) ability
to finance this proposal.
Our plan could of course be revised to provide curb and gutter between
16th Street N. E. and 17th Street N. E. without disturbing proposed street or
sidewalk berm grades; it was designed with this possibility in mind. To place
curb and gutter would -require, in this area, modifications to the planned storm
drainage proposals, removal and adjustment to inplace entrances and culverts,
fills in the ditch, and the subsequent placing.of curb and gutter. We do not
feel -the Department can bear.this added cost now.
It is true, of course; that our plan incorporates the placement of burb
and gutter between 17th Street N. E.'and 19th Street N. E. This was placed
because it was less expensive here than open ditching. Open ditches would have
meant lowering inplace water and sewer lines, an expensive item. , .
The Department of Highways will not object to the placement of curb and
gutter, under an approved plan, between 16th Street N. E. and 17th Street N. E.
but we do not feel we can stand the expense of it at this time.
Sincerely yours, '
DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS

$'Honorable Mayor -and
Common Council
-City of Rochester.
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
I am writing to you at the direction of the Town Board of Rochester
Township.
At the regular monthly meeting of the Town Board of Rochester Township held
on Thursday, November 12, 1964, we reviewed the letter -of the Public Works
Committee to the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Rochester
dated November 2, 1964, referring to the sewage disposal problems of the Town
of Rochester. _The Town Board was ecnouraged by the interest whown by the Public
Works Committee and .the Common Council in attempting to work out the mutual
problems of the City and Township. The report of the Public Works Committee
raised qertain questions. In order for the Township to cane up with a specific
proposal, It will be, of course, necessary to have a report from a competent
engineer. Obtaining such a report would be, as the Common Council is well
aware, quite an expense. Considering the annual budget of the Township, we
do not feel that we should go ahead and expend these sums without having
further information ourselves.
We have tentatively engaged the joint services of K.M. McGhie, Registered
Engineer of Rochester, Minnesota dnd the firm of Wallace Holland Kastler &
Schmitz of Mason City, Iowa, and Rochester, Minnesota. Before we have them go
ahead with any work, however, at the direction of the Town Board I have
written a request to the Attorney General for an opinion as to the legality of
the Township constructing.a sewage disposal system including the issuing of
bonds and levying of assessments and other matters incident thereto, and
further as to the legalityhof entering into an arrangement with the City of
Rochester by which the township system could be connected with the city system.
We believe that before we have any more discussion in regard to this
matter, we should know exactly what we can or cannot do. We have had conflict-
ing legal opinions in the past and feel this matter should be resolved once and
for all so that if we cannot properly construct a system under the present law,
we can seek enabling legislation at the coming session of the State legislature.
We will keep you posted as to any information which we may receive in
regard to this matter and again we thank you for your encouragement, as
expressed in the report of the Public Works Committee.
Very truly yours,
PEMBERTON, MICHAEIS,. BISHOP, SEEGER &
