A motion was then made by Larson,, second by Ludowese, and all present voting in favor, to accept the Commissioner's report, instruct the City Attorney to set the hour of hearing, and refer the report to the Finance Committee. Mr. Folkert stated at this time that the Finance Committee of the Council met with the Charter Commission to discuss additional sources of tax revenue, but as now do not have a recommendation.. Mrs. Warren Hubbard, Mrs. Sheldon Curry, Mrs. David Ahmann, and Mrs. Paul Sholtz appeared at the Council's afternoon session. Mrs. Hubbard asked that the Council reconsider their action not to seek recertification of the City's Workable Program as without it they have left Rochester hanging. They said that without a Workable Program private industries cannot come in, construct low-cost housing units, and use this money that is now available. Mrs. Sholz said that people who are now retired and people who will be retiring soon indicate that they find difficulty meeting rental rates and feel that they will not be able to stay in the units in which they are now living in another year or so. With the growth of the City, it will be necessary to increase the number of unslilled personnel and they feel that Rochester should be foresignted enough to take advantage of this opportunity to receive federal monies, that Rochester built the Sewage Treatment Plant with -federal aid, and there is need for low-cost housing for which federal aid is available. She said, "Rochester has civic concern and should leave the door open." Mayor Day stated that if we start to build with federal assistance, there are not many builders in the country who will do this because their guarantee is only 6%. He feels Rochester has no problem as compared with places such as Washington, South Bend, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Detroit and New York. Mr. Postier said that there is a misconception that the Council voted against low- cost housing. The Chamber representative had told them that a Workable Program is not a 0 46'i :6 Record -of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., January 5, •1970 prerequisite to have low-cost housing. There are many ways to get low-cost housing with- out the Workable Program, and if sent in for recertification it would not have been acceptable to the Federal Government as it was. The current certification expires February 1, 1970, and the aldermen voted not to seek new approval of the program as is. To have it brought up to date would require a year or two according to Mr. Moore, Planning Director. Alderman Folkert stated he was absent at the meeting when the vote was taken on recertification and indicated that he would have voted to recertify the program. He felt that if money became tight, the Federal Government would look more favorably on giving assistance where the City had a Workable Program. Alderman Folkert made a motion to instruct the Planning Director to apply for recertification of the Workable Program just as it is, second by Larson, and upon roll call Aldermen Folkert, Larson, and President DeVries voted "aye" and Aldermen Cherland, Ludowese, Postier, and Strain voted "nay" and the motion was denied. Upon motion by Strain, second by Folkert, and all present voting in favor, the meeting was adjourned until 7:30 o'clock P.M. President DeVries called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock P.M. with the following being present: President DeVries, Aldermen Cherland, Folkert, Larson, Ludowese, Postier, Strain. Absent: None. President DeVries stated this as being the time and place set for hearings on the following: Hearing on proposed vacation of a five-foot utility easement along the rear lot line of Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 21, Elton Hills 3rd Subdivision (Covenant Church on Elton Hills Drive N.W. and 13th Ave. N.W.). There was no one present wishing to be heard and President DeVries declared the hearing officially closed. Upon motion by Cherland, second by Postier, and all present voting in favor, the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution vacating said utility easement. Hearing on proposed change of zoning districting on Lots 7-11 and 25-28, Block 22, Northern Addition (Samaritan Nursing Home) from the R-1 District to the R-3 District and the R-2 District to the R-3 District. Herman Buske of 31 7th St. N.W. who owns Lot 24 and W. 3 ft. of Lot 25, Block 22, Northern Addition, wished to know if any of his property was included in the zone change.

Richard Ehrick, attorney for Mr. Dan Dinneen of 619 3rd St. S.W. was present and available for any questions but voiced no objections. There was no one else present wishing to be heard and President DeVries declared the hearing officially closed. Upon motion by Folkert, second by Postier, and all present voting in favor, the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission that the zone change be granted was approved and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance making the requested zone change. Hearing on proposed amendment to the City's Adopted Thoroughfare Plan to delete the Southeast segment of Circle Drive from C.S.A.H. No. 9 to 20th St. S.E. at llth Avenue S.E: There was no one present wishing to be heard. Mr. Moore, Planning Director, stated that because of the terrain it lis impossible to include it in the Thoroughfare Plan, and it is possible that the Circle Drive can be directed further east to Highway 11. Although there will be streets in this area, there is no need for major streets. President DeVries declared the hearing officially closed.

Hearing on application to amend the City's Adopted Land Use Plan to designate the S.E. 1/4 of the N.W. 1/4 of Section 7, Township 106 North, Range 13 West, as being best suited for Medium Density Residential. There was no one present wishing to be heard. Mr. Moore, Planning Director, said that this area is about 40 acres, the former site of Urness Chicken Farm, now Doughboy Turkey Farm north of the DeWitt's Addition Southeast of the City limits. He feels that this ought to be added to the.Land Use Plan and shoul&:be extended up to the Skyline Drive area, also including the DeWitt's area recognizing that it will take many years before it will occur (annexation). If interested, zoning could occur according to the accepted Land Use Plan. This is quite a large area and at the present time it is probably a rural residential area according to county zoning. There was a request filed by the American Religious Town Hall for a low-incbme housing project. If this area should be annexed it would come in as R-1 and they would have to come back to have it zoned R-2 or R-3. Upon motion by Cherland,-second by Strain, and all present voting in favor, the hearing was tabled until the January 19th meeting. Hearing on the application for approval of the preliminary Community Shopping Center Plan for K-Mart to be located on the Graham property Southeast.
