be heard. President DeVries declared the hearing officially closed. The recommendation of
the Planning & Zoning Commission dated February 15, 1966 stating that they had reviewed the
petition to change the zoning districting on the NWk NWk of Section 23-107-14 from R-1-Distric
to the R-3 District and find that this area is proposed to be used for a mobile home court
and they feel that this area lends itself well to this kind of land use; they also feel that
the proposed single family development to the west should be adequately separated from the
mobile home park by an intermediate zone; they, therefore, recommend that the zoning district
on the NWk NWk Section 23-107-14 less the west 157.5 feet from the R-1 District to the R-3
District and further recommend that a zone change be initiated on the west 157.5 feet of the
NWk NWk Section 23-107-14 from R-1 District to the R-2 District, was again read. An analysis
of the petition protesting the zone change, submitted by Tom Moore, Planning Director, showing
that the petition was valid and therefore a proposed zone change would require a 6/7 vote was
also read. A motion was then made by Hanlon, second by Day, that the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission be accepted and the City Attorney be instructed to prepare an
ordinance making the zone change; upon roll call Day and Hanlon voted "aye", Eichten
abstained, and McCaleb, Perry, Wilson and DeVries voted "no"; President DeVries declared the
motion lost and the change of zoning was denied.
Hearing on the proposed change of zoning on the following:
(a) change from R-1 District to the R-Sb District all lots on
the west side of 8th Avenue S. W. from 6th Street S. W. to
9th Street S. W. and on the south side of 6th Street S.W.
from 8th Avenue S. W. to two lots west of loth Avenue S.W.
(b) change the existing R-S District to the R-Sb District.
Mr. Tom Moore, Planning Director, showed a map of the area on the screen and explained that
the R-S changes the lot frontage in this district; he said the proposed R-Sb would have a
minimum lot frontage of 80 feet and area of 12,000 square feet; of the total 182 lots in this
area there are 49 lots or 26.9% that have less than 80 foot frontage and 12,000 square feet
area; 33 lots or 18.2% have 100 foot frontage and have area of 20,000 square feet; 100 lots
have frontages between 80 feet and 100 feet and area of 12,OOO.to 20,000 square feet for
54.9%; he said the reason for the proposed change was that there are so many lots that do not
meet the present R-S district standard of 100 foot frontage and 20,000 square feet area.
Dr. Hugh Butt of 1014 - 7th Street S. W.; William Carroll of 714 - 12th Avenue S. W.; Dr.John

The following letter from the Personnel Advisory Committee was also read:
"To the Honorable Mayor Alex Smekta
and Members of the Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota'
Regarding: Utility Board Settlement with Local 949
We recommend Vith some reluctance, that you concur in thissettlement
for the following reasons: i
1. It averages 3.55% for all emplo ees covered. This is in line
with the last fact finding recommendation.
2. In order to bring some jobs more in line with their worth, the
ranges of.increases:are from 2% to 4.7%. We feel that this is a
healthy sign in union negotiations, when compared to giving the
same percentage increase for all employees.
3. Some of the increases were a result of the creation of new jobs
caused by a change.in operations. Old jobs were discontinued.
These were management inspired and rightfully should not be
included -in overall increase.
4. The Utility Department is adopting the "City" sick leave plan.
In practice, this is not as liberal as the one they have been
using.
The.reluctance mentioned about comes from the realization that this settlement
is higher than the.increases,given to most city employees. We do feel, However,
that we lave closed.the gap somewhat and hope to achieve equality in the near
future.

limit the reasonable use of this property;.and therefore, recommend that the required side
street yard of the proposed B-lb District be waived and that the required rear yard of 10 ft.
