Mr. Mark Brataas, Engineer from -the Minnesota State Highway Department, -
presented drawings showing the proposed improvement of 12th Street Southeast from
llth Avenue.to the intersection of state highways No. 14 and 52. The following
recommendation -by the City Engineer was read:
'Honorable Mayor & Common Council
Of the City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
A proposed plan for the improvement of 12th Street Southeast
from llth Avenue to East City Limits has been submitted to me by
the Minnesota Highway Department, and is attached herewith. This
plan indicates an extension of the present 12th Street by providing
1} - 121 concrete travel lanes, a 41 center island and 101 wide
shoulders, from llth Avenue to Bear Creek. East of Bear Creek the
center island -would be widened to a maximum of 43 feet.
I recommend that the plan be modified as follows
1- Instead of widening the present bridge as the plan
indicates, a new bridge be constructed for the -south
bound lanes,making-provision for sidewalks on the,
south of the new bridge as is now provided by the
existing bridge.
2- Widen.the center island beginning at llth Avenue to a
minimum of 200 instead of the 41 island shown.
3- Make the island curbs sloping instead of vertical.
4- Make the island surfaces sod or, if any part of these
surfaces are concrete, the concrete should be colored.
5- Indicate provisions for lighting and traffic signals at.
the intersection of Highways 14 and 52.
-This project will be a great improvement to the east
approaches to Rochester. The City should certainly co-operate
with the State Highway Department in every way possible to
accomplish the best possible improvement. These suggestions
are made, not to discourage the project, but rather to assure
the City that it will be satisfactory in the long future.
I recommend that the project be approved subject to these
changes or such negotiated modifications as can be worked out.
Respectfully submitted,
Ralph E. Monson
City Engineer"

Department, for revision. ,

"Honorable Mayor & Common Council

Gentlemen:
The plat of Armit's Addition has been submitted to me for
inspection. This plat lies outside the city limiter=and it is my
understanding that the owners will petition for annexation. This
plat abuts Lot g, Block 1, Dresbach's Addition on the south and a
street platted as 15th Avenue Southwest in Dresbach's. Addition on
the west. Dresbach's Addition is a plat in Rochester Township and
has never been approved by the, City of Rochester. The plat of
Dresbach°s Addition does not conform to all the - requirements of
Ordinance No. 704 establishing minimum standards for plats.
I am not certain what would be the status of 15th Avenue

City water and street maintenance.
Armit's Addition can not be served by the present sewer system.
The lots, as platted, do not conform to the requirements of Section 59
drdinan'ce,No. 704 relating to lots which are not served by sewer.
New houses are already constructed or are under construction on
the lots in Armitle Addition. Since their location is not indicated
on'the map, we do not know whether they comply with'all the
requirements of the building and zoning ordinances.
Fifteenth Avenue Southwest abutting Armit's Addition has been
partly graded by the original owner of Dresbach's Addition.' This
grading does not donform to any grade established by.this office,
nor has the roadway design been approved by this office. I believe
it should. be clearly set forth - that any additional construction
necessary to complete the grading of this street in conformance with
City of Rochester standards will -be assessed against the abutting
property.
Respectfully submitted,
Ralph E. Monson
City Engineer"
