B-1
President Selby called the meeting to order at 7:00 P. M., the follow
ing members being present : President Selby, Councilmembers Canfield,
Evans, Hunziker, McConnell, Myhrom and Senjem. Absent: None.
A Hearing on the Land Use Plan and Zone Change on 9.32 acres along
Bandel Road N.W. and 59th Street N. W. Wishing to be heard was Ron
Bailey of Yaggy Colby Assoc. representing the applicant Robert Theel
of Excelsior Mn. Mr. Bailey stated that the Planning Commission came
up with three different motions and Mr. Bailey presented the
situation now as a compromise.to the Planning Commission::s dilemma..
The land to the east of 59th Street N.W. be split into the S 1/2
of the area W of 59th St. be zoned B-4 Commercial and the N.1/2
be zoned R-3. The other land West of this land considered would be
zoned R-4 Commercial.
Councilmember McConnell wondered if this compromise plan could have
an area S & W (other side of Edelweis Sub. Lots 5-7)be zoned back
to residential. This would offer the people who bought and built
houses a little breathing room without going directly into commercial
zoning. Can this little area be left as R-3. Jane Kansier,
Planning Dept. stated that this was considered by the Planning Comm-
ission but they felt this would be "strip zoning" and that was why
they voted a 3-3 tie at that time.
Wishing to be heard was Pat Haugen of 5810 Edelweiss Lane N. W. and
is opposed to this area being zoned commercial. She stated that
the reason no more protests are made from neighbors in the area
considered is because the lots are not sold yet.
Wishing to be heard was Connie Curtis of 5822 Edelweiss Lane N.W.
They arQ opppposed and wants the area left as is. She represented the
people in the area.
Having no one else present that wished to be heard, President Selby
closed the hearing. McConnell wanted to have this tabled so that
another configuration could be worked out which would compromise
the developer as well as the residents. At this time McConnell moved
to table. This did not get a second and no action was taken on the
motion.
Discussion was held by the Council on various businesses and activitil
that may be put in the area known as "commercial". Covenants
were considered by Jane Kansier of the Planning Dept.& stated that
the problem with covenants is that no one enforces them and the
Planning Dept. really does not have the time to do it. So if that
is taken into consideration, covenants are really not that effective.
It was noted that in R-4-a buffer would have to be made by the
property that Ms. Haugen was referring to.
Councilmember Evans stated that the zoning which was in effect at
the time the houses were built and the property purchased should
remain the same.

Agenda
Item
B-6 Councilmember Myhrom stated that he did not think this is necessary
and that the more affordable housing the City provides, the more
people expect. Councilmember Evans stated that he is on the Housing
Authority Committee and they have 500 people on the waiting list
for affordable housing of some sort. He does see the need for this
in Rochester.
Councilmember Senjem stated that maybe a different approach would be
thru the educational process instead of housing. He wondered how
the City could attack this?
Mr. Casperson stated that many authorities have been established to
provide housing and a two to three year waiting list for those
affordable housing units. It should be a community wide effort to
educate people and solve the problems. After more council discussion,
Suzanne Snyder of Executive Director of the Housing Partnership.was pr
and:stated that they would like Rochester to provide affordable
housing for the low income families. She defined the term
"affordable housing" and that means that a family does not pay more
then 30% of their income for shelter.
Councilmember Myhrom stated that he has a problem with the rent costs
put on rental units. IF these units were not part of a program, they
would rent for lower price and the renters should be able to afford
that rate. He thinks this is a rip off of taxpayers by having the
landlords jack up the price and only charge the tenants a meager amt.
Having no one else present that wished to be heard, President Selby
closed the hearing. No action was taken at this hearing.
B-7 A Hearing on the On -Sale Liquor (Exclusive) License for Torenia,
Inc. DBA Maggie's.
Wishing to be heard was James Hessler of 625 7th Avenue S.E. and
is opposed to this "bar" coming in the area. He stated tha-c parking
is not good and - will get worse with a bar in that building. Apt.
buildings and various other businesses will suffer because the bar
people will be parking in their places and customers will have no
place to go.
Wishing to be heard was Duane Hart of 311 6th Street SE and is
opposed. He lives around the corner from the proposed bar and
does not want the traffic, -parking, or the noise and people going to
and from the bar in the wee hours of the morning.
Wishing to be heard was Mark Halbakken of 2527 15th St. S.E.
and is worried that he will lose his tenants if this bar is allowed.
He could not police the parking as much as would be needed and his
tenants would move out.
Wishing to be heard was Dr. Schlotthauer of Third Avenue Pet
Hospital, 414 Third Ave. S.E. He is opposed to this business going
into the area. He is right next to it and he stated that most of
his customers will have pets with them and pets would be' ,
sensitive to the bar atmosphere if they are sick and can become scared
or nervous. He also is concerned about parking by his business -if
they have an animal with them they cannot be parking blocks away.
Also of concern was the littering and loitering of the patrons.

much or no parking at all within 4000'ft. of this location. This
parking, etc. is not unique to his clients proposal. He had a diagram

reason why the Council would deny this. Some driveways in .the
businesses in the area have the entire width of their lot made into
a driveway. He stated that the businesses in the area should welcome
this establishment and locate this in the area because this is where
the traffic is and business should be generated off that traffic.
Also, it would just make good sense to allow this business in the
area as allowed by the Zoning Code.
Councilmember McConnell stated that it was a fine presentation
by Mr. Suhler, but he -is still not in favor of this bar being
put in this location.
Councilmember Senjem stated that he would like to see the proposed

McConnell,Senjem and President Selby voted nay. Nays (5). Council -
members Evans and Myhrom voted aye. Ayes (2). Motion did not carry.
Councilmember Hunziker stated.that the testimony from the residents
should be reason enough to deny this.request. Findings should be
based on the parking problems, impact of a bar in/on the neighborhood.
Councilmember Senjem stated that the neighborhood has gradually
improved and this business would be a detriment to the area. He
will definitely vote "no".
Councilmember Myhrom stated that traffic is not a problem. He stated
that at 5-6 P.M. traffic gets bottled up but that is rush hour and
when this bar would be doing most of its business, the traffic would
not be this bad. This area can handle the traffic. He stated that
now the building looks like junk and this business would enhance
the area. The person requesting the business has paid her bills and
would be a good business person. To deny this would be out of line.
Councilmember Evans stated that the reason for his approval is that
the zoning code allows this and we should listen -to our own zoning
codes. Having no further discussion, Hunziker moved, Senjem second
to instruct the City Attorney to prepare facts of findings for the
Council to discuss at the next meeting; having received the negative
response from five of the seven members regarding this request.
