Wishing to be heard was Tom Torgerson, President of Torgerson Properties. Mr. Torgerson outlined the plans for the handicapped -accessible hotel complex and Mariott's commitment to building in Rochester. He addressed the concerns of the Planning Commission in regard to the use of the alley and the needed turn around. He stated that the garage with the shared driveway will be removed and a new garage and drive will be constructed on property adjacent to the west. He also noted that the sign on the north side of the building has been eliminated. Mr. Torgerson stated that the turn arounds will be accomplished by Virgil's purchase of the Dorothy 's Kitchenette property. Garbage trucks and other trucks will be accommodated will be able to utilize the turn around. Mr. Torgerson addressed the issue of setback, proposing five feet instead of three, and will construct a six-foot wall; he is working with the Park Department on the planting of this area. Wishing to be heard was Deborah McNeill, 1131 Second Street N.W.

Ms. Chvatal was in favor of the project and thought that it would help with the safety issues in the neighborhood. Wishing to be heard was Tom Blondell, Blondell Motel, 1406 Second Street S.W.. Mr. Blondell was concerned about the frontage of the building on First Street S.W. and how it would affect the neighborhood and the possibility of their losing control and the area eventually going commercial.

Their main concern is the delivery of their products in the alley by an 18-wheeler. The trucks are currently not allowed to park on Second Street.

Wishing to be heard was Jack Hawkins, 1111 Second Street S.W., owner of Carousel Flowers. Mr. Hawkins said that they have finally gotten people to park in the rear of their store, using the alley, because of no parking on Second Street.

Wishing to be heard was Joel Goldman, 1147 First Street S.W.. Mr. Goldman had grave reservations about the project. He was concerned with the increased traffic on First Street, the safety of the children, the school bus stops, and the height of the building.

Wishing to be heard was Evidia Kronebusch, 1139 First Street S.W. Mrs. Kronebusch was concerned about the traffic, dust and noise so close to her from the alley and the possibility that cars exiting the alley would be running onto her lawn and property. Wishing to be heard was Marc Carpenter, one of the developers of the hotel. Mr. Carpenteur noted that the Mariott would accommodate the handicapped, greatly enhance the tax base of Rochester, and that they are building with no financial assistance from the City or Mayo Foundation.
