The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission was that this be approved. ,A petition with approximately 51 signatures objecting to this was read and ordered placed on file. Thr recommendation of the Planning Department was..that this is best suited �I for low density residential use. Mr. Howard Winkles of 330 - 19th Avenue S. W. .was present ;! I. i� and represented the persons who live along 19th Avenue S.W. from 2nd to 5th Street S. W.;he II read the petition objecting to this which was signed by more than 75% of the people owning + homes, he also read the conclusion of the Planning Department and a copy of a letter from Mr. Dolan .in regard to traffic; he said basically the property owners in that area do not i care to have any development of this type. Mr. Gordon Suk, the petitioner, said they wanted to build a condominium of about 40-50 units, they have 4.25 acres that is situated in the back where it is nice and quite,'they have 19th Avenue, 20th Avenue, 5th Street, 2nd Street I and Highway 52 and 6th Street S.W. for any traffic to. -get to this particular building; the people that would be buying these would be paying starting at about $45,000 and they would not be adding to the school problems because they more than likely would not have children of, school age; this land.is agriculatural now and there are no problems as far as sewer and water, it is adjacent to 5th St. S.W. and water is in the street; he said they were planning to build a good project that would generate more taxes than the property does at present. Mrs. Walter Royce of 228 - 19th Avenue S.W. also spoke in opposition. There was no one else ' present wishing to be heard. President Postier declared the hearing officially closed. A motion was then made by McNary, second by Ludowese, that the application be denied and all voted in favor thereof. Alderman McNary said he thought the people that testified here had pointed out pretty well the problems and he said he disagreed with the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission; he said the traffic, in spite of all the streets mentioned, funnels down into two streets basically the5th Street intersection as it meets 17th Avenue and as a consequence anybody that lives in this condeminium area would naturally take 19th or 20th Avenue rather than try to fight the traffic at that intersection; he said traffic counts' had been made and it was estimated that the traffic would increase from 20 to 50%, he said he, thought in a residential neighborhood like that to have a development come in at the far end of it that would increase the traffic that much was not a proper thing. Alderman Larson pointed out that this was somewhat removed from any present R-3 or R-4 zoning and it was generally regarded as being desirable to step up from R-1 to R-2,R-3 or R�4.and the closest Record of. Official Proceedings- of the Common Council of. the City of Rochester, Minn., March 15, 1971 . oning similar to that was adjacent of the Highway which is R-3 and R-4 and is'about two blocks why; he said he thought if good practices were followed in planning it would be better to step it up than make an brupt change from R-1 to R-4. Hearing on application for a variance to change the side yard requrirements on the rty located at 1421 and 1423 Fifth Avenue N. E. The recommendation of the Planning & g Commission that this requested variance be denied because as requested i.t would permit a ubstantial encroachment into the required side street side yard on this corner lot thereby locking the view to the NE. and it would also permit a building to be constructed within 9� feet f the house immediately to the west; however, the Commission said the owner should be permitted construct a garage on this property and the setback requirements would permit a garage to be ilt on the north end of this building but not within 25 feet of the west lot line, this structure has a window in the NE corner that would be blocked out by a garage but if the garage were constructed to the west of the window this view would be'preserved and the garage would then extend into the required side street'side yard area approximately 12 feet, the west wall of the garage would then be about 13 feet from the west property line and within 14 feet of the north property line and they recommend that this variance be granted. Mr. Gordon Quandt was present in behalf of the petitioner, Verle Vrieze, and requested that the variance be granted. There'was no one else present wishing to .be heard President Postier declared the hearing officially closed. A motion was made by Strain, second by Willmarth, that the variance as requested be denied and all voted in favor.

F. Bluhm.

The Planning Department reported that this application did not meet the requirements for granting a variance recommended that the application be denied. Mr. Duane Hoops was present in behalf of the petitioner and urged that this variance be granted, he said he felt it was rather just granting There was no one else present wishing to be heard.
