B-1 Hearing on the Proposed amendments to the Zoning Code pertaining to
Planned Unit Development. Wishing to be heard was Mrs. Linda Wood-
house of 2551 12th Avenue N. W. ,as President of the League of
Women Voters of Rochester, and urge the adoption of a public
hearing at the concept stage, this will allow public and private inp
into a PUD before the developer goes to a lot of expense. No one
else wished to be heard, President Postier closed the hearing. Mr.
Thomas Moore, Planning Director stated that the Planning and Zoning
Commission had a question on section 64.406 regarding occupancy and
would like to have this section referred to them for further study.
Kamper moved, Larson second to instruct the City Attorney to prepare
an ordinance making the changes that can be adopted and refer the
section 64.406 back to the Planning and Zoning Department for study.
Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.
B-2 Hearing on the Application for approval of the Planned Unit Develop-
ment ( Final Plan ) of Hiawatha Children's Home located in the N.E.
corner of Assisi Heights. No one wished to be heard, President

N. W. and 16th St. N. W. between 16 1/2 Ave. N. E. and Highway # 52.
No one wished to be.heard, President Postier closed the hearing.
Strain moved, Powers second to approve the project subject to the
following recommendations by the City Planning Department as follows
1. We find the proposed final plan does not show curbing completely
around the parking lots. We feel this should be constructed as the
preliminary plan approval states, except in front of the two handi-
capped parking stalls. 2. We find the proposed final plan does
not provide screening directly in front of the parking lots east
side. We feel the parking lots should have a setback minimum
of eight feet from the lot line and that this setback be landscaped
to provide screening. ( The reduced parking lot area will still
allow adequate traffic circulation.)3. We find the proposed final
plan shows the sign face area for the office building to.be 30
square feet. We feel this area should be 24 square feet as the
preliminary plan approval states. 4. We find the lot split for
the property is not yet complete but in the process. We feel this
should be completed in a reasonable amount of time. Ayes (7),
Nays (0 ). Motion carried.

Hearing on the Application for approval of the Planned Unit
Development ( Final Plan ) of bison's located at 214 North Broadway.
No one present wished to be heard, President Postie r closed the
hearing. Allen moved, Kamper Second to approve the plan subject
to the three recommendations by the City Planning Department as
follows: 1. All two way driveways were to be a 24 foot width rather
than the shown existing 22 foot driveway widths on the north and west
sides of the PUD parcel. We feel 24 feet as required by the Zoning
Code should be the minimum width. 2. We find no notation on the plan!
speaking to the replatting of the site to accommodate the N.E.
diagonal of the one-way street plan. We feel this should be done
as determined by the official map for this segment of the one-way
street plan. We also feel a further condition to approval should be
added to accommodate the design plans and traffic control of this P.
U.D. 3. Standard signage be erected or necessary construction be don(
at the Traffic Engineer's discretion, to direct traffic from the one-
way exit as'the final plan indicates. And to instruct the City Attorn(
