"The Honorable Mayor and Common Council
City of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota
RE: ROCHESTER MALL CO. Proposal for Widening Zumbro River
and installation of dikes South of U. S. #14
Gentlemen:
The undersigned is attorney for Mr. Roy Watson, Jr.fas appeared before you and
your various committees from time to time concerning the flooding problem and taxes
paid by Mr. Watson on his property located at 620 Memorial Parkway, Rochester,
Minnesota.
My client is greatly concerned over the effects of the proposals of the
Rochester Mall Co. for changes in the Zumbro River south of highway #14 insofar as
they relate to his property located north of highway #14. As you are aware, his
property is located on the outside.of the first bend in the river north of 14, and
a proposal for a 200 foot wide T:,chaannel 8.9 feet in depth with dikes on the
easterly end is certainly going to increase the speed of the flow, if not in fact
the flow of the water as it reaches Mr. Watson's property.
It is our opinion that if any such work is allowed to be done south of the•
bridge, that equal steps must be taken north of the bridge to protect many home
owners who are paying a great deal of taxes on their houses from further damage
than that which they have already sustained several times in the past. We would
be happy to meet with you or any of your sub -committees at any time to discuss
this matter.
Yours very truly,
/s Joseph H. Dingle"

of the City of Rochester, Minn., March 7, 1966
for the Street & Alley Department, in regard to the high water on llth Avenue and 5th Street
Northwest on Friday, March 4, 1966. It appears that water from heavy snow or rain which
gathers north of U. W. 14 west of the city no longer can flow into Cascade Creek located
south of the -highway as it once did but now comes down and floods over llth Avenue and 5th
Street. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, stated that he had discussed this with the State

annexed to the* City of Rochester, the property to the south andeast will be completely
surrounded by the City of Rochester, and therefore, they recommend that when Lots 20, 22 and
the east 93.75 feet of Lot 23, Auditor's Plat "D" are annexed to the City that proceedings be
initiated by the Common Council to annex the lands described that will be surrounded by the
City of Rochester, was read. Upon motion by Day, second by Eichten, and all voting in favor

The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they
had reviewed the applica ion of the Salvation Army to vary the provisions of Paragraph 41.08
which, when applied to their proposed citadel requires 20 offstreet parking spaces; they feel
that'because most of the people coming to this facility do not have automobiles and the
Salvation Army personnel themselves have no personal automobiles, other than two that are
assigned to the unit, that the provision of 15 offstreet parking spaces would be adequate for
this use; they therefore, recommend that under the provisions of Paragraph 41.10 the amount

The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they
had reviewed the petition to vacate all of the public streets, avenues, and utility
easements as dedicated on the plat of Northern Slopes First Subdivision; they find that the
owners of this subdivision wish to resubdivide the area.and make some minor revisions in the
. street pattern and lotting pattern; in order for them to do this, it is first neessary to
have the public's interest in this plat vacated; they find that the area is unimproved and

93.75 feet of Lot 23, Auditor's Plat "D" from the R-1 District to the-B-3 District; they
find that this proposed change is in accord with the city's adopted land use plan and also
fits in with the existing B-3 District -to the north and the south; and therefore, recommend
that the•Zoning Districting on this property be changed from the R-1 District to the B-3
District, was read. Upon motion by Wilson, second by Perry, and all voting in favor thereof.

had reviewed the existing land use development in Cascade Center, and find that is all
• developed as commercial uses except for one vacant lot; the exisiting uses fit into the
B-lb District and because.of the adjoining R-3 District immediately to the south they are
of the opinion that the commercial area should be somewhat restricted; they therefore,
recommend the initiation of a zoning districting change on all lots in Cascade Center from
the R-3 District to the B-lb District, was read. Upon motion by McCaleb, second by Eichten,
and all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was accepted and a hearing on the
proposed zone change was set for 7:30 o'clock P. M. on April 4, 1966.

had reviewed the petition to change the zoning districting on the West 42 feet of Lot 3,
Cascade Center from the R-3 District to the B-3 District; they find that this lot is
presently vacant and that there are other properties in this area that should be considered
for rezoning because of the complete commercial nature of this development; after carefully
386 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council

studying this area, they are of the opinion that the entire area should be rezoned to the

The recommendation of the City Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had
reviewed the petition to change the zoning on Lot 1 and the North k of Lot 2, Block 5, Golden
Hill Addition from the M-1 District to the R-4 District; they find that the proposed change of
zoning is not in accord with the City's adopted land use plan, which indicates that the area
these lots are locatedin is best suited for light industrial use; the existing zoning plan is
intended to accomplish the gradual transition of this area from one of mixed uses to light
industrial uses; they therefore, recommend that the requested change of zoning be denied, was
read. Upon motion by Perry, second by Eichten, and all voting in favor thereof, the recommend-
ation:iwas approved and the zone change denied.

their recommendation of April 14, 1965 which were (1) that 10 ft. of additional right-of-way
be provided along the east property line for U. S. 52 and utility needs (2) the south 33 feet
of the•west 460 feet of the church property be provided for public street purposes (3) that
the east boundary of the area to be annex ed extend to the center line of U. S. 14-52 as it
existed prior to widening; they said they were informed that the church group will have this
property joined with property lying to the south for purposes of having a plat prepared for
the -area; they therefore, recommend that this property be annexed to the City of Rochester
subject to the above conditions, was read. Upon motion by Hanlon, second by Perry, and all
voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was accepted and the City Attorney was instructed
to prepare the necessary ordinance.
