designated as a Primary Thoroughfare and (2) 6th Street Southeast extended from Broadway
to 3rd Avenue Southeast - to be designated as a secondary thoroughfare. Mr. Tom Moore,
Planning Director,.showed the drawings of this area. Mayor Smekta stated that he had

along the C. G. W. Ry. roadbed south and utilize the present bridge and then go south to
about where Plywood is and go as close to the river as possible. Alderman Perry objected
to anything being designated as official from 3rd to 4th Street at this time. Alderman

A letter signed by kichard H. Plunkett stating that he was in.receipt of a
letter from the City Clerk advising that they had been requested to record the plat of
Sehl's First Subdivision before again considering thechange in zoning on Lot 10,
Christensen-Sehl Subdivision and Lots 1-6, Block 3, on surrounding property; the
principal reason this has not been filed is that this property is bordered on the West
by property which is outside of the City limits of Rochester, which makes it economicall}
impossible to put in this supervision until such time as the same is brought into the
City; in addition, they were advised that it is against City policy to make services
available in this fashion to non -city areas; finally, it would appear that the lot -sizes
for Lots 1 through 6, Block 3, would not meet the requirements for R-3 zoning and,
therefore , it would necessitate a replat before these lots could be rezoned, with all
of the incidental expenses and work involved, was read. Mr. Plunkett was present and
reiterated what he had stated in his letter, that he felt it would be economically not
feasible to record the plat at this time because if utilities were put along 3rd Avenue
they would have no help in paying for them as the property on the other side of 3rd
Avenue is outside the City limits and also some of the lots as presently indicated might
not conform to the zoning requirements. He was informed -that the total cost of
improvements, if they were installed, would not be assessed against this property and
that the lot sizes did not cause.any great problems; he then agreed to have the plat
recorded. The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission recommending approval
of the petition to change the zoning districting on Lot 10, Christensen-Sehl Subdivision
from the R-1 District to the R-2 District and on Lots 1-6, Block 3 and that part of
Outlot "A" Sehl's First Subdivision that lies south of Lot 1, First Evangelical United
Brethern Church Resubdivision of part of Outlot "A" and Block 4, Sehl's First Subdivisio
from the R-1 District to the R-3 District, was again read and upon motion by Day, second

"Honorable Mayor and
II. Common Council j
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Re: Proposed Urban -Rural Service Districts for the City of Rochester
Gentlemen:
The City Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on
iI February 14, 1968 reviewed the Urban -Rural Service District Law and the
report pertaining to the application of the provisions of this law to the
City of Rochester.
i
After careful consideration of this statute, we are of the opinion that its
I� application to the City of Rochester should help to serve as an inducement
jl to encourage the annexation of larger tracts of land to the City and thereby
Il permit the City to do a better job of planning for the final development of !
th_iseprogram:
f(1) A minimum parcel size of five (5) acres should be established
I� for lands to qualify for inclusion in the Rural Service District.
(2) Lands outside the City boundaries which, if annexed would be included
in the Rural Service=District, should be shown on a map accompanying
this Ordinance.
(3) The Ordinance should contain a provision whereby, if.after a period
of five (5) years, a parcel in the Rural Service District has not
been developed, and the area adjacent to it is substantially
developed as urban property, the Council may exclude the parcel ;
II from the Rural Service District, and if not excluded after five (5)
years, the parcel shall be again reviewed at one year intervals
�I to determine if it should be excluded. {
(4) A benefit ratio of approximately 30 per cent or less, is possible,
should be established between the Urban -Rural Service District.
/s J. C. Weis, President
II City Planning and Zoning Commission"

The following recommendation of the Finance Committee was read and upon motion by
lPostier, second by Ellison, and all voting in favor, the recommendation was approved:
u
�) To: Mayor and Common Council
From: Finance Committee
�l Subject: Legal Counsel for Indigents in Misdemeanor Cases •
jReferred to the Finance Committee by the Common Council was a recommendation
from the Olmsted County Bar Association in providing a public°defender for
indigent persons.
The Bar Association's recommendation read as follows:
1. That one individual lawyer be appointed jointly by'the Common
Council of the City of Roche ster and the Olmsted County Board
of County Commissioners at a salary of $250.00 per -month to
act as public defender for indigent persons charged with
misdemeanors in Olmsted County.
2. That the County and City share equally the salary of the public
defender.
3. That the appointed public defender be required to maintain
complete time and case records so that effectiveness of services !
can be reviewed by this committee at the end of each three
I� month interval during the first year of this eervibe.
This committee met with the Municipal Judge and the following considerations
L_ were presented relative to the Bar Association's recommendation:
The Municipal Court recognizes the recent Supreme Court decisions on the right
of an indigent person to court appointed counsel, and also recognizes that the
appointment'of a public defender would relieve the court of the administrative '
Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council ...
• of the City of Rochester, Minn., February 19, 1968
CD•78920
responsibilities thereto.
However, it is the opinion of the Municipal Court that legislative
authority for the appointment of a public defender does not now exist.
Until such authority exists, the Court recommends that the Municipal
Judge appoint the legal counsel for indigent persons and the compensation
for such services be determined by him.
This committee appreciates the problems of .the Municipal Court in complying
with the intent of the Supreme Court decisions and at the same time
recognizes the merits of the Olmsted County Bar Association's recommendation.
The Committee recommends, pending clarification of the authority for
designation of a single attorney to act as public defender, that the
recommendation of the Municipal Judge be accepted and the Common Council
honor vouchers presented by him .for this purpose. :
The Committee further recommends that copies of this recommendation be
forwarded to the Olmsted County Bar Association, the Olmsted Board of
County Commissioners and the Municipal Judge.
