212 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 14, 1969 •
Indian Heights 3rd Subdivision had been considered by the Council and they had concluded that
the development of this particular area of the City would be enhanced by providing a street
across Mr. Arnold Mork's property which was.not a part of the preliminary plat, the matter was
referred to the Public Works Committee for exectuion of street condemnation proceedings, but
fortunately, condemnation action was unncessary due to the purchase of Mr._Mork's property by
their client; this property has now been included in a revised preliminary plat conforming to
the general street pattern desired by the Council, and asking for.approval, was read. fir.
C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, stated that the Public Works Committee approved the new road
alignment which was the basic objection but there were also several items that the Planning &
Zoning Commission had requested such as street access, right-of-way for cul-de-sac, etc. A
motion was then made by Larson, second by Ludowese, that the preliminary plat be approved
subject to the neeessary access to the adjoining property as indicated by the Planning and
Zoning Commission, lots 1 thru 9, Block 1 and Lots 1 thru 11, Block 2;-and also a minimum of
33 ft. frontage on the property immediately to the west off of 19th Street N. W.; all voted in
favor.

Eighth Subdivision.
2. application for preliminary plat approval of Pennington First

Sidewalk Project #2-E-1969
The recommendation of the Committee was to proceed with construction of the
project as proposed.
Mr. Gregg Orwoll of 2233 5th Avenue N.E. said every owner along 5th Avenue had signed a
petition opposing this and as far as they could tell there was no one who wants this sidewalk
and on checking could not find where this was part of the PTA safety school program, he said
he felt this was a substantial cost to property when they are already facing an increase in
taxes; they felt this sidewalk was in the' wrong location, it is on the far side of the street
from Winston Churchill School, the street lights are on the other side of the street and they
felt it would cause harm to their property; he also said he had purchase an empty lot next tc
his property which was used for a playground for the small children so there was no safety
factor in the children playing on the streets. Mr. Paul Sholtz of 2006 5th Avenue N.E. said
she,felt this sidewalk was necessary and probably the same people that signed the petition
opposing it also signed the one last year for it; she also said the children in the direct
neighborhood of Mr. Orwoll were able to use the playground but the children on the other end
of the street still played in the streets, she urged that this sidewalk4be installed. Mr.
Gordon Heath of 2253 5th Avenue N.E. said he did not feel the sidewalk here would solve the
problem,if the children used the north side of the street they.would have to cross at 5th
Avenue and Northern Heights Drive which was probably the most dangerous part of the street.
Mr. William Plummer of 2219 5th Avenue N.E. said it was hard not to talk about child safety
but did not think there had been any serious accidents in thisarea that would necessitate
sidewalks. Mrs. Goldie Michael of 506 - 20th Street N.E. inquired what is going to happen
to the vacant lot and cul-de-sac on 20th Street, are you going to pu= sidewalk ift there is
not a street and also who would keep the snow removed; C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, said
there is a street platted here and all we could do now is put a temporary sidewalk across
that street opening. Mr. Walter Croll of 2001 5th Avenue N.E. said they were 100% opposed
and therefore did not feel the sidewalk should be constructed. Dr. Robert Sawtell of 2013
5th Avenue N.E. called attention to the intersection of 56h Avenue and Northern Heights Drive
as you approach Northern Heights Drive you have to pull the hood of your car out 475 feet
in order to see oncoming traffic and when you come down Northern Heights Drive to the
intersection of 5th Avenue it is like a blind intersection which is compounded by 4-5 feet
of snow in the winter. After hearing those present a motion was made by Larson, second by
Cherland to delete from the project (a) the westerly side of 5th Ave. N.E. from Northern
Heights Drive to 20th Street N.E. and (b) the south side of 20th Street N.E: from 5th Avenue
to 6th Avenue N.E. and to proceed with the balance of the project; all voted in favor:

Delete - west side of 12 Ave NE from 14 St to N end of .12 Ave NE

NE to the north end of 12 Ave)

Mr. Fred Steiner of 2720 - 27th Avenue N.W. said the property owners in this vicinity were
opposed to sidewalk on 15th Ave NW. from Cascade St to 29th St. NW when it comes up. Mr. Stever

project to exclude that block between 20th and 21st and to include the rest of the project as

street but thought this would be to long in the future before didewalk could be constructed
