at the intersection of llth Avenue and the alley and run the fence diagonally at this corner

They recommend that the name of the City Planning and Zoning Commission be changed to the
Rochester Planning Commission and that Ordinance No. 1049 as amended by Ordinance No. 1159
be amended as follows, was read: (1) change the title of Ordinance No. 1049 by omitting the

Establishment. Pursuant to the authority contained in Subdivision (1), Section 4, Chapter
670, Minnesota Statutes, Laws of 1965, a permanent Planning Commission is hereby established
in and for the City of Rochester which shall be known as the Rochester 'Planning Commission
(3) in all other sections where the words "City Planning and Zoning Commission" appear'
substitute the words "Rochester Planning Commission". A motion was made by Day, second by
Wilson, that the recommendation be denied. Alderman Day said he did not see any basis for
changing the name, he said it seems as if the Common Council is dealing with zoning week after
week and thought the Commission was concerned with both planning and zoning. T. 0. Moore,
Planning Director stated ,that the primary role of the Planning & Zoning Commission is
planning and its main charge is to prepare and revise a comprehensive plan of the City
of which zoning is a small portion; he said the main reason for requesting the change was to
place primary emphasis on planning and de-emphasize zoning. Alderman.Perry stated that he
liked the idea of the Planning & Zoning Commission setting one night aside for just long
range planning and could see rio objection the name change. President DeVries then called
for a vote on the motion'that the recommendation be denied and upon roll call, Folkert,
McCaleb, Perry, Postier and DeVries voting "aye" and Day and Wilson voting "no", the motion
was declared lost. A motion was then made by Perry, second by Folkert, and all voting in

change.
