Mr. DeWeerd Spencer, a bond attorney, stated that the low interest rate was about,.12 per cent
higher than it should have been; he said an interest rate of 3.6 per cent, which he thought
.likely,.would have reduced the bonds total interest costs by about $19,000 „ he said there was
no question but what the news of the war influenced the offers and that, -the bidders waited ,
until the last minute to submit their bids so see how things were going in the Mideast; he

Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated that there was a great deal of apprehension about
this -bid with the war situation as it is, the only alternative would be to reject,:_all bids
and•then•rebid later on; in -asking what the financial situation is we find that we probably
could get by until fall before needing the money but we could not go beyond that and then we
are taking a chance on the bond market as it is at that time, it could be better and it could
be worse; after talking to Mr. Spender and others I don't think the result was as bad -as it
might be and he recommended that the bid of The Northern Trust Company be accepted. A motion
was made by Folkert, second by Postier, that the low!;bid of The Northern Trust Company be
accepted and all voted in favor thereof.
Alderman Postier then introduced and Alderman Folkert moved the adoption of -a
proposed resolution entitled, "RESOLUTION AWARDING SALE OF $1,890,000 SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT

and loth Avenue S. E.), they find that the lot in question is of a regular rectangular shape
and has a sizeable buildable area remaining after the application of the required minimum
yards, the lot is generally level throughout; they find that there are no unusual
circumstances connected with this lot and they, therefore, recommend that this variance be
denied, was read. Upon motion by Perry, second by Folkert, and all voting in favor, the
recommendation was approved and the variance denied.
The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission stating that they had rev-
iewed the application to vary the provisions of Paragraph 21.04 of Ordinance No. 1296 to
permit the subdivision of land into lots of less than 60 feet of frontage on 24th Street
•
N. W. in the 2100 block (Schwanke, Cutshall, and Hendrickson Properties); they find that three
property owners wish to combine their properties so that a more advantageious lotting pattern
can be worked out, this concept is desirable and should be encouraged; unfortuntely, they are
unable to,find that any exceptional or unusual circumstances exist because of the size or
shape of the land that would warrant granting a variance; the land can be subdivided into f ive
lots or legal width and area on an individual parcel by parcel basis, it can be sudbivided
into six lots of legal width and area on a combined,basis; they were unable to find evidence
that satisfies the requirements of Paragraphs 61.0510, 61.0511, 61.0512, and 61.0513 of
Ordinance No. 1296 and therefore recommend that this requested variance in lot width be_denied,
was read. Alderman Day said he could not see too much wrong with the request of these land
owners and moved that the land owners be permitted undervariance to have 56.7 ft. frontage
lots, that a 33 ft. street right-of-way be dedicated and a hearing on the variance be set
for 7:30 o'clock P. M. on June 19, 1967; Alderman Ellison seconded the motion and all voted
in favor.
The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission stating they had reviewed
the application for approval of revisions to the Heritage Manor ,Community Development Project
Plan on all of Block 1, less south 200 feet, Northgate Third Addition; they find that the
proposed revisions are in accord with the standards of Ordinance No. 1296, the fire lanes
that had been required originally are still needed in this development and should be shown on
the plan; they recommend that the revised Heritage Manor Community Development Plan be granted
approval subject to the applicant filing a completed revised plan showing the,fire lanes as
requested, was read. Upon motion by Day, second by Folkert, and all voting in favor, the
recommendation was accepted and a hearing was set for 7:30 o'clock P. M. on June 19, 1967.
The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission stating that they had
reviewed the application to.vary the yard space requirements of Paragraph 21.04 of Ordinance
No. 1296 as they apply to Lot 3, Gardner's Second Addition; they find that this lot was
platted prior to :the effective date of Ordinance 1296 and it has an irregular shape and the
terrain is very steep; the .lot is accessible by a private driveway easement and adjoins
Silver Lake to the south, the lot is heavily wooded and the owner is most anxious to preserve
as many of the existing trees as possible., these conditions constitute exceptional circum-
stances that do not apply generally to other properties or classes of uses in the same zoning

district; this variance is needed to allow the owner to enjoy the same property rights as �I
possessed by other properties in the jsame zoning district and in the same vicinity; the proposed
location of the house will not be detrimental to adjacent property nor will it materially impair
the purposes of this ordinance or the public interest; the conditions existing on this lot with
respect to buildable area are not of a general nature as there are very few•lake shore lots in
Rochester; the application of the required minimum yard spaces to this lot leaves a substantial
buildable area that could accommodate a contemporary type house, the location of the useable `
II
buildable area onthis lot is such as to materially reduce its lake view potentail; they feel ?
there are sufficient grounds to grant a front yard and rear yard variance in this case to
allow the siting of the house as proposed by the owner and feel that the detached garage
should be allowed to be constructed in its planned location and, therefore, recommend that.

these variances be granted, was read. Upon motion by Perry, second by Larson, and all voting j

it applies to Lot 26, Block 2, Bielenberg and Giese's Third Addition (N. E. corner 16 Avenue
N. W. and 14th Street N. W.); they find that the lot is rectangular in shape and has an ample
buildable area remaining after the minimum required yard spaces have been applied, the lot
slopes down -gently to the east from 16 Avenue N. W. but is not excessive; they are unable to

The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission that the had reviewed
the city limits situation and find that Lots 16, 17 and 18 of Auditor's Plat "D" have become
surrounded by the City limits of the City of Rochester; Lot 16 is used as a public street and
Lots 17. and 18 are used by Gulf Oil Company; since these lands are completely surrounded by
the City of Rochester, they recommend that the Common Council initiate proceedings, to annex

requested that'--$10,000 be appropriated for stream improvements made up of (a) outside machinery)
rental $3,000, Jb) outside labor $4,000 and (c) park department equipment $3,000; the amount
allocated for use -of park department equipment is not a legitimate budget request, leaving a
net amount needed of $7,000; in the current budget there is an appropriation in the unallocated)
account in the amount of $7,000 designated for flood control or protection, it is remote that
this amount would be needed for flood protection between now and the beginning of the next
fiscal year and in as much as the proposed stream improvements would.relate to and assist in
flood control problems, it is recommended that expenditures made for outside equipment rental
and outside labor be charged to the flood control account, was read. Upon motion by Postier,
second by Folkert, and all voting in favor, the recommendation was approved.

reasonable extension of the existing M-1 District and is in keeping with the Land Use Plan;
