Deep consideration of safety and welfare of the general public in this area. 2. Fifth Street. Northwest was planned and constructed as a limited access thoroughfare. 3. After consultation and recommendation by Highway Safety.Engirieers and Minnesota Highway Department, limited access rights were acquired at maximum cost. 4. The right of limited access was purchased from Minnesota -Wisconsin Transportation Company with Rochester tax dollars. 5. The right-of-way land was paid with Rochester tax dollars and should not be given away by the City Council. 6. Present owner knew of the City's right-pf-way limitation purchase when he bought the land from Minnesota -Wisconsin Transportation Company. 7. With increased traffic on Eleventh Avenue Northwest and Fifth Street Northwest, safety hazards will be multiplied in the future. 8. Present owner has.added to safety hazards of pedestrian and.vehicular traffic in this area by constructing fruit and milk stands. What will he build next? 9. I submit that the City did not buy land for limited access on Fifth Street Northwest where Mobile, Texaco and Phillip"s 66 Stations are now located. 10. I urge the Council to deny the request. Precedent has been established by our State Courts and the Minnesota Highway Department on limited access of city streets and state highways. 11. Under Minnesota Law, members of the Council may be subject to litigation by any taxpayer. With Rochester growing and faced with possibility of acquiring limited access right-of-way in the future, I suggest and recommend that through Council - denial the owner take the City to court. Court action will give future City Councils guidance.

D. was also read and ordered placed on file. Mr. Lowell Linnes, a member of the Governor's Human Rights Commission, was present and recommended that the following points be considered before adoption of this ordinance (a) we have in existence state laws against discrimination in the areas of housing employment and public accomodations (b) any ordinance developed by the City would constitutionally be suspect if it had less coverage than the state provisions and the • proposed ordinance does not, at this reading, contain the advantages of the state law (c) we should consider a human rights ordinance that would provide local citizens with an opportunity to establish, through borad participation, a genuine climate of equal opportunity and equal rights, this type of ordinance would be non -regulatory in nature and would defer to the state law on all matters of enforcement (4) unless the ordinance that is passed in Rochester has adequate enforcement provisions including paid staff and administrative powers, then the officers of the Governor's Human Rights Commission would view it as less desirable than a human relations agency with the emphasis on education and climate building. Mr. Seth Phillips Executive Secratary of the Human and Civil Rights Commission from the City of St. Paul, was present and stated that he felt the City needed such an ordinance but did not feel they should adopt the one before them until some changes had been made. Mr. John McCally of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce was present and read the following resolution adopted by the Civic Affairs Committee of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce: "To recommend aht the Rochester Common Council refer the proposed Ordinance on Unfair Discriminatory Practices to the Council's Finance Committee for further study, and further recommend that such study consider the possibility of adopting by reference, Minnesota Statute 363 entitled "Minnesota State Act Against Discrimination", as amended in 1965 by the State Legislature. This law has proven to be effective and comprehensive legislation, having been in effect for Employment Opportunities since the year 1947, and for Housing since the year 1961. Council adoption of this State Statute would thus eliminate the possibility of a conflicting and/or a duplication local discriminatory ordinance. An amendment could be included to the adoption of the State Statute by reference ^Aar2D�iawhereby the Council,would create a local seven member Human Rights Commission with powers only to adjust, conciliate and mediate local discrimination complaints as • described in the present State Law. If any complaint of an unfair Discriiminatory Practice, as described in the previously mentioned State Law could not be mediated by the local Human Rights Commission, the Commission could call upon the State Commission against Discrimination to take control of the complaint."
