The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had
reviewed the City limits in the 4th Street N. W. and 16th Ave. N. W. area and find that the
City of Rochester owns the rights -of -way of 16th Avenue N. W. and 4th Street N. W. as the
result of past condemnation proceedings; -these streets were never annexed to the City of
Rochester, however, they are maintained by the City; they feel that inasmuch as these streets
are City ow ned property they should be a part of the City, and therefore, recommend that the
Common Council initiate proceedings to annex 16th Avenue N. W. from the north line of A. W.
Kutzky's 2nd Addition to the south line of 5th Street N. W. and 4th Street N. W. from the east
line of Miracle Mile Shopping Center Addition to the west line of 16th Avenue N. W., was read.
Upon motion by Wilson, second by Eichten, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation

recommended land.
The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had
reviewed the petition of Builders Land Company to annex lands known as the Furlow Farm, which
lies south of Old T. H. 14 West and East of the Rochester Golf and Country Club; they find that
the drainageway which runs from the East line of Country Club Manor to Cascade Creek is City
owned property and under the Municipal Annexation Laws, the City can annex its own land so long
as it is contiguous to the City limits, which is the case with the drainagewkay; the annexatioi
of the drainageway will make the Furlow property contiguous to the city limits, thereby making
it legally feasible to annex it to the City; they have discussed the advantages and dis-
advantages of annexing property by using narrow strips of land to make the property contiguous
to the City limits, and feel that all things considered in some cases this is the only means
available to some property owners who wish to have their land brought fnto the City to be
served with sewer and water service, police protection, fire protection, etc. ; you will note
that the Joint Rochester -Olmsted County Planning Commission has gone on record as not
objecting to this annexation, vad therefore they recommend that the Common Council initiate
proceedings to annex the drainageway property to the City of Rochester, was read. Upon motion
by Wilson, 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 petition to annex lands known as the Furlow Property which lies south of Old T. H.
14 and east of the Rochester Golf and Country Club; and find that if the City of Rochester
annexes the drainageway from Country Club Manor to Cascade Creek, the property proposed to be
annexed in this petition will be contiguous to the City of Rochester; in order to permit the
eventual de%relopment of the property under City standards and to have it served by City sewer,
water, police and fire protection and other municipal services, they recommend that the Common
Council annex this property to the City of Rochester, was read. Upon motion by Wilson, second
by Eichten, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was referred to the Public
Works Committee.

of the U. S. 14-52 Interchange at 5th St. N. W. and 16th Avenue N. W. from the R-1 District to
the B-3 District under the provisions of Ordinance No. 1296; they find that thisproperty is so
situated that commercial development can take place without being deterimental to the adjoining
properties; the land is bordered on the west by U. S. 14952, on the south by Cascade Creek; on
the east by 16th Ave. N. W. and on the North by U. S. 14; the properties to the east of 16th Ave.
N. W. are commercial uses; so, therefore, they recommend that the zoning of this property be

all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was tabled until this property has been annexed.
The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that in order
to promote a better understanding of the new Zoning Ordinance, the City Planning and Zoning
Commission is considering conducting a short course to be called "You and the Zoning Ordinance", -
they are thinking of holding -one and one-half hour classes one day a week for approximately four
to five weeks; their plan is to conduct these classes under the Rochester Evening College
program; a nominal fee would be charged to those who enroll; the President s of the Rochester
Board of Realtors and the Rochester Home Builders Association have already indicated that their
groups would be very much interested in attending such a course; they felt that before they
•
proceed any further with this program, they should request the Council's approval of the general
proposal and authorization to finalize the course; the members of the Commission would be glad to
meet with the Council and discuss this proposal further if so desired, was read. Upon motion by
Eichten, second by Perry, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved and the
City Planning and Zoning Comission were authorized to proceed with the short course.
r -
a The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they were
greatly concerned over the recently unfortunate loss of a Childs life while attempting.to cross
Highway 52 North; it is likely that as further development takes place along our major highways
the potential for this type of accident will be markedly increased, and therefore, they feel that
the Common Council should investigate the feasibilityh of constructing pedestrian overpass
bridges at all points where they are warranted or where unusual pedestrian crossing conditions

The recommendation of the Joint Rochester -Olmsted County Planning Commission stating
that they had discussed the need for the preparation of more General Development Plans for the
fringe area around Rochester that can be used to guide future growth; the City's existing
planning staff is not large enogghh to effectively handle the multitude of daily planning
r
inquiries, process planning applications and also prepare detailed long range General Development
Plans for new areas and they, therefore, feel it necessary to urge the Council to hire such
additional staff as may be necessary to undertake this work; as you know, there has been a
vacancy in the Associate Planner position in the City for almost a year now, and all efforts to
t
fill this position with a well -qualified applicant have been unussuccessful; they urge more
activley recruit an Associate Planner to fill this position and at the same time consider
hiring another planner and a full time draftsman, this will provide sufficient staff to do the'
detailed planning work they need at the City level; it is their desire to have the City staff
work in cooperation with the County Planning Staff and the Rochester -Olmsted Transportation
Planning Study Staff and funds are available- in the City Planning Commission's budget for a full
time Associate Planner and a summer draftsman and these funds would have to be supplemented in
order to provide the staff herein requested, was read. A motion was then made by Eichten,
second by Hanl6n, that this be referred to the Finance Committee and the meet with Mr. Bakke, the

thereof.

that on January 26, 1965 the Commission considered again the petition to annex the Furlow
property; the Town Boards of Cascade Township and Rochester Township have met jointly on this
matter and they are not opposed to this petition for annexation; they were, however, concerned
about the method proposed in this petition to make. -the property concerned about the method
proposed in this petition to make the property contiguous to the City of Rochester through a long
narrow strip of land extending to Country Club Manor; there was also some objection expressed by
several residents who live to the east of the property proposed to be annexed; these people
feel that the annexation of the Furlow property would force them to be annexed to the City; after
considering all aspects of this petition, the Joint Rochester -Olmsted County Planning Commission
wishes to advise the Common Council of the City of Rochester that it has no objection to the
annexation of this property to the City, was read. Upon motion by Eichten, second by McCaleb,
