The following recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was then
"Honorable Mayor and
Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Re: Revisions to the Zoning Districting Map of the Proposed Zoning Ordinance
Gentlemen:
The City Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on December 23,
1964, considered the Council initiated zone change for properties along the
.south side of Bear Creek and east of the Tropic Bowl to be changed from the
Residential District .to the Multiple Dwelling District.
We find that this area has been filled above the•normal high water level of
Bear Creek, with the exception of a few potholes which remain to be filled,
and that the property could be developed and improved for occupancy. We
feel that -this Iodation is suitable for multi -family land use, but not to the
extent as permitted under the City's existing Zoning Ordinance in the Multiple
Dwelling District. •
We, therefore, recommend that the change of zoning from Residential District
to the Multiple Dwelling District under the City's existing Zoning Ordinance
be denied.
Recognizing this area as a potential medium to high population density area,
we recommend that the following revisions be made in the Zoning Districting
Map of the proposed Zoning Ordinance:
1. Change from the F-District to the B-3 District the property
bounded by 4th St. S.E. and Bear Creek or the north, and 5th St.
S. E. on the south and from 4th Ave. S. E. on the west to 6th Ave.
S. E. on the east.
2. Change from the F-District to the R-3 District the property bounded
by Bear Creek on the north and east, the middle of the block between
5th St. S.E. and 6th St. S.E. on the south, and by 5th Ave. S.E.
between 5th St. S.E. and 6th St. S.E..and 6th Ave. S.E. between
Bear Creek and 5th St. S.E. on the west.
3. Change from the F-District to the R-3 District the property bounded
by 4th St. S.E. on the north, Bear Creek on the south,.and 6th Ave.
S. E. on the east.
4. Change from the F-district to the_R-2 District the remaining property
on the west side of Bear Creek just north of the 6th St. S.E. bridge.

Resolution regarding salary and overtime considerations for Street & Alley Huperintendent
as follows:
Common Council Policy on Street and Alley Superintendent Position
regarding salary and overtime considerations.
During 1964 the Common Council made an extensive review of the duties and responsi-
bilities of the position of Superintendent Street and Alley Department. Particular
attention was given to the time demands of the job which exceeded eight (8) hours per
day because of the following:
1. Daily organizing and scheduling of work crews in advance of the
regular starting time of the day shift.
2. Occasional short periods of overtime as an extension of the regular
work day, consisting of supervising of the work crews in completing a
specific project -where carry-over of the work to the next day would
result in inefficiency because of duplication of setup and travel time.
3. Demands upon the superintendent during the.evenkng and other off -time
hours usually initiated by.a call from the Police Department. These are
usually situations caused by a storm, accident, or other emergencies
requiring the superintendent to travel to the scene and'take some type
of action _to correct or prevent an unsafe condition relating to City
streets.
In.view of these extra demands in excess of an eight (8) hour day on the superintendent's
time, and additional $240 per year is hereby added to the base salary of this position
and is incorporated into the 1965 salary. The extra $240 shall be considered payment
for all "normal" or incidentalextra time required to start or work end a work -shift,
also for supervision of the work crews during brief extensions of a work -day, and also
,for brief after hour call-backs due to emergencies. The superintendent shall not be
paid for any unauthorized or incidental overtime. Any overtime'of less than one (1)
hour shall be considered incidental.
However, the superintendent shall be compensated for overtime in the form of cash
payment or compensatory time off when it is required that he work extra days or shifts
beyond a five (5) day week, or for emergency call -outs of several hours duration, or
for supervising of overtime work of the work crews of several hours duration. Such
overtime compensation shall be reviewed and authorized by the Director of Maintenance
or the City Engineer.
Upon
motion by Wilson, second by Eichten, and all
voting in favor
thereof, resolution adopted.
