The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission stating that they had
reviewed the matter of transferring the Zoning Enforcement from the Building Inspector's Office
to the City Planning Director's office; you will recall that this was discussed with the Common
Council on March 15, 1967; having considered this proposal further, they are of the opinion
that all matters pertaining to zoning should be handled in one city office; they feel that
such a move would help to eliminate confusion on the part of the public in getting interpre=
tations of the provisions in the ordinance and thereby result in a better understanding of
zoning; in order to accomplish this transfer of the zoning enforcement authority, they
recommend that ordinance No. 1296 be amended as shown, was read. Upon motion by Perry, second
by Ellison, and all voting in favor, the recommendation was referred to the Public Works
Committee and the City Clerk was instructed to send copies of the proposal to each Alderman.

reviewed the need to eb tabl'ish improved referral proceedures between the various City Boards
and Commissions and the City Planning.Commission in order for the Planning Commission to better
advise the Common'Council-on all matters pertaining to City development'as they are charged;
they feel that it is important to have the development and expansion proposals of the other
municipal agencies, departments, boards and commissions channelled through the Planning
Commission for recommendation to the Council, by following this procedure it is felt that A -
greater understanding will be developed and the Commission can better fulfill'its roll of
advising the Council on all development matters within the City; they therefore recommend that
the Common Council institute a policy instructing the Boards and Commissions to channel all
matters pertaining to land use, site acquisition, site development, disposal pf public land
and other related matters through the Planning Commission for review and recommendation to the
Council, such a procedure should help to expedite deliberations on these -items and create a
better understanding of the various proposals, was read. Upon motion by Folkert, second by
Day, and all voting in favor, the recommendation was approved and the City Attorney was
instructed to prepare the necessary resolution. (Copies were to be sent to the Aldermen).

reviewed the need for a joint meeting to be held with all of the private and public planning
groups and agencies that are currently actively engaged in planning the 'downtownarea `of

ment other than single family residential homes, was presented. Mr. William Juede of 2204 -
llth Ave. N.W. and Mr. Gerald Balm of 1020 24th St. N.W. were present and stated that the
purpose of the petition was basically just to express their thoughts. Mr. James Parker, one
of the representatives of Valhalla was present and stated that it was not their intention to
hide anything and when they are ready to bring in their proposal for zoning or a request for
a change in zoning they would be prepared to tell everyone exactly what is involved at that
time. Alderman Larson then introduced an ordinance annexing to the City of Rochester certain
unplatted land not exeeeding two hundred acres in area, all being in Section Twenty -Six,
