Upon motion by Postier, second by Perry,,and all voting in favor, -the meeting was
recessed.=`:at 8:45 P. M. President DeVries called the meeting to order at 9:00 P. M. with all
members of the Council being present. He announced that the Mayo Civic Auditorium expansion
would be discussed at this time, he said surveys had been made on this and it had been studied
and requested that the Park Board give their presentation on this. Mr. Tom McDonnell, Preside
of the Board of Park Commissioners, stated that it was the unanimous opinion of the Park Board
that this building should be build in the close proximity of the present building, so that one
building would compliment the other and by having it on the site north of East Center Street
it would be close to the old building, close to the downtown area and would provide ample
parking spaces; he then requested that Mr. Elliott give the report.
Mr. Virgil Elliott stated that for the past thirty years,.the City has continously been
adding, to the area started by the Doctors Mayo, and the Mayo Properties; the Mayo Civic
Auditorium was the original structure to be built and presented to the City by the Mayo's; the
Mayo Mall was designed, dedicated and given to the City as a lasting memorial of the Doctors by
by a group of very interested citizens at great cost, and this addition assited in the

it development of the area as a culture,center; the Art Center later was built on the,north side of
�I the complex and.given to the City; the band shall in the area, on.the banks of the Zumbro
River, is now sponsored by the.City Government; recently a Civic Theatre has been added and
i
i greatly increased the drawing power of our culture comples; the newly enlarged streets and
(I �
it approach to these buildings have.given the complex much, dignity; with the proposed development
to the north of this they propose to tie in the multiple use of the exhibition building, the
Mayo Civic Auditorium, the Civic•Theatre,and the Art Center with an efficient underground i
tunnel. system; he said the building complex enjoys convenient access by vehicle, the streets
radiate in four directions from this complex area and more so than any other ;location within •
the city limits; the building complex enjoye.convenience for pedestiians,, everyone who attends
an event is a walk-in customer, twelve to fifteen thousand nonresident population must be
served as guests the larges number of these people.concentrate in our central business area, so
convenience for pedestirans is•a big asset for convention trade; some further development
will extend to the south of the present complex, the park department is on record as requesting
the old water works property, when available, and feel this would make an excellent location
for -the Rochester Public Library with much off street parking and feel financial assistance
can be head in relocating this building in our cultural area complex and that it will be com-
plimentary to the proposed area. The Park Department now has charge of the property east of
the Health Center on 4th Street S. E. to the north on 4th Avenue past 2nd Street to the foot
bridge over the Zumbro River and the Board intends to discuss with the Historical Society
the feasibility of erecting a new building on this site for the Historical and Museum Building
and also feel that there will be financial assistance in this development. With the present
enlargement of the Art Center.nearing'completion and by acquiring property north of Center Street
West of 2nd Avenue N. E. and north to the C.N.W. Ry. and east to the Zumbro River, this will
complete the cultural complex area. He said in this area they could provide three thousand
off street parking spaces now oned by the City, broken down as follows:
1. City owned Ball Park Location: north of Center Street, east of Center Street
Bridge to be connected to the proposed site by an enclosed all weather
overpass; bleachers and ball diamond will be removed and parking spaces for
450 cars will be available on this property; additional exits will be
provided leading to Center Street by acquisition of a small or larger
•
properties along Center Street to the Est, providing for 300 additional
parking spaces making a total of 775 for this area or a maximum of 1075
spaces. j
2. Mayo Civic Auditorium Parking Lot, city owned total of 238 spaces now, this
can be enlarged to 330 at no additional cost of property to the City.
3. Water Works property on 4th St. S.E. dity owned, this area will be connected
to the Mayo Mall with an attractive foot bridge, parking space in cooperation
with the proposed Library, making efficient parking for 420 cars.
4. Health Center Parking Lot, forty six spaces now with 15 additional spaces
I
ava i lab le .
5. Corner 4th St.S.E. and 4th Avenue S.E. extending north to foot bridge, -proposed
relocation of the Museum and Historical Building, 375 spaces of parking.
6. Lot Number 3 west of Mayo Civic Auditorium and east of the Bus Depot, now leased
to Rochester Development Company for twenty more years, city owned property '
providing 225 parking spaces.
7. Lot No. 1 Rochester Auto Park Ramp on lease for 20 yearsto the Rochester
Development Company, property reverts back to City with ramp included at no
cost to the City and provides 472 parking spaces in the ramp; area behind
= the ramp now on lease to Sheraton Hotel Corporation, Silvers Properties and

. r
Rochester Development Company for 20 years then to revert to the City on
expiration of the agreement. Provides 108 parking spaces, not included,
in the spaces counted but many guests of the auditorium will be using the
hotel services while in the City.
8. Proposed location of all purpose exhibition building north of Center Street
north to C.N.W.Ry. tracks to the Zumbro River on the east and south to the
east center Street bridge; with a building at 220 by 300 feet or approximately
63,000 square feet, they will be able to provide efficient parking on this
area outside of the building for 300 cars and if in building parking is
provided add 200 additional spaces; this property will have to be purchased,
keeping in mind that our dollar today is a forty cent dollar and that if we
use Federal Redevelopment, that we get an assist of 25% as to our total cost
not to exceed assistance fundsof three and one half million dollars.
9. The two blocks to the west of 2nd Avenue N.E. if desired for additional
parking, will have to be purchased; if they desire this addition property.
This area will provide 600 additional spaces of efficient parking.
10. Ramp to be built proposed location, Shell Station on Broadway by Rochester
Development Company. Minimum spaces 550.
11. Ramp proposed, Daytons, Michales with cross Walks on Broadway. Spaces .600.
Mr. Elliott said this is how they proposed to continue to develop the cultural complex area
i
f
�- and said he hoped the Council would approve their recommendation for the acquisition of the j
proposed site that they have had under study for over three years; he said the Park Board was
unanimous in their selection of this site;.he said 4,872 spaces would be available for parking,
�I
Alderman Day inquired what the plans were for the present arena and Mr. Elliott told him it
would probably be reduced from 1400 to about 1000 seating and would later be converted into
I
a concert hall but as of now it would be used for basketball, hockey., etc.
Alderman Day.stated that he would like to reiterate his position opposing the Center
Street location for.the new auditorium; (1) the cost of this area, it is still his contention
that.it will take one million dollars to qcquire this small 3.6 acres, assessed figures are
low because this area has not been reassessed after it was rezoned to higher value property
(2) to destroy or move Mayo Field, Rochesters only lighted baseball field, the only one with
bleachers, dressing rooms, concession stand, and ample parking is possible,.but certainly very
costly, the park.department stated last summer that this field was being used more now, than
ever befor by the youth of our city, they estimated that at that time an average of 9 games
per week were bring played there, plus football (3) the moving of people, out of their homes
and businessess, it baffles me to see so much concern for the grass at Soldiers Field, and
hardly any concern for the people who will be forced to sell their homes and businesses (4)
• Lets examine the proponents only,arguments for the downtown area - a. it sould be close to the
present arena facility, I doubt if we will have one event per year when the same group will
need both areans, especially if the old arena is rebuilt into a sumphony hall as proposed,
there probably is some advantage that the auditorium manager or other help, would only have
to drive one block instead of possibly one mile b. proponents state that for conventions
most people could walk.it if it downtown - I agree many would walk, if all convention people
were staying at the Kahler but lets not foreget-the-large'new motels that are built and being
built on the west side; at any.rate it would be my guess that conventioners and transients
will account for less than 10% of the people using this facility; the valance of the 90% will
be city and area people, driving and requiring parking space. c. Proponents state that we
should keep the Cultural Center together at all costs, this might be very nice if we were
planning a new City, where >: space was no problem but to build ourselves into a cracker box,

IIthat we can't expand, one causing mass traffic hazards just so we can show it off to someone
iIas our huge cultural center doesn't seem practical to me; he estimated that the cost to build
on this 3.6 acres at Center Street would be $1,550,00 as compared with $250,000 for -land
acquisition and utilities for a possible 15 to 30 acres within or next to the City (6) If the
! arena is built on Center -Street it will be next to impossible to expand if the need ever
arises. (7) An arena large enoughtto hold 7,0ODto 8,000 people has to have Ample on Site
Parking; he questioned if people going to the arena should have to park out in left field of
jIMayo Baseball field and walk across a foot bridge or park over by the Health Center on 4th
II
Street or in the present lot and walk down in a tunnel, the space at the Trius hotel would be
I ;
fine but how many spaces are available 7:30 to 7:30 in the evening; the parking ramp leased
to Sheraton cannot even be counted; parking in the ramp, 4 blocks away, for $1.00 or $1.20 is
jj possible if it is available but to count every space in the ramp for auditiorium parking is
as false as counting the on -street parking 4 to 8 blocks from the'auditorium; he said the only
decent, safe parking planned for this auditorium is the 370 places directly north of the
proposed auditorium and felt if this large arena was built on the Center Street site that
1
10
(1) auditorium usage will be much less (2) traffic conditions will be a nightmare (3)
pedestrian traffic will be very hazardous and (4) parking on yards, alleys, driveways, would
be common. Alderman Day proposed that a group to study all availabe sites around the City,
i`
where this arena can be built much more reasonable and expansion and parking will be no
�i problem, possibilities:include,the Graham Property Southeast, South end of lst Avenue S. W. at
I
Soldiers Field, the old Sewage Plant on: North Broadway, West near 52 and 14 interchange the
KROC radio tower area, South on 52 across from Apache, the Fairgrounds, Junior College Area.or
even Eastwood park area; he said such a group should have an open mind and consult with
traffic engineers, promoters and officials of other towns that have built new arenas and they
p
I' should return to the Park Board and the Council with figures, parking diagrams and sketches of
proposed arena, very -definitely more than we have to go on at this time. Alderman Postier
lstated that in the last few days he had called on a few of the people owning property on the
north side of East Center Street to try to get a realistic value to the property in this
f
!� triangle, the area between Center Street and 2ndStreet N. E. and 2nd Avenue N. E. and the
II i
river; he said he figured it would cost about one and onequarter million for this 3.6
i
acres, he came up with a market value of $615,665,but did not feel this was a very realistic
i figuke and specifically cited the business of the Rochester Materials Equipment Company, the
Gas Company building and the Medical building; he also said some of these properties along
1 here were zoned as M-1 which would=add to the valuation; he said he did not think the
jI taxpayer would go along with spending this.:kind of money here and also recommended that some
II of the locations.withtin the City or abutting be investigated. Alderman Larson stated that
he thought perhaps the tinking of some was to gear this proposed structure along the lines
I I
' of usurping the needs of athletic events and pointed out the fact that considerable money
had been spent in building the ball park which was now unused and also cited the stadium
