A. Plummer property". ( Street layout attached). 1 • 1 • 1 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council 547 , of the City.of Rochester, Minn., October 3 ,. 19 55 RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning and Zoning. Commission considers this proposed street to be necessary because 1). Dr. Anderson has submitted a petition to annex his property to the City, and- 2). Mrs. W. A. Plummer is considering annexing, her property to the City, and 3). The street would serve as access to all the properties affected, and 4). Mrs. H. S. Plummer's house may some day become a public place demanding public access. The Plannding and Zoning Commission believes that its first recommendation of running t-he -center line of the street betweenDR.- Anderson's property and that of Mrs. H. S. Plummer's is the logical place for the street, and that the request to move the street 6 feet further south is impractical as it would involve the destruction of a garage and also a'corner of Mrs. Plummer's main residence. • Very sincerely, /s DONALD L.• GRUE, President Planning and Zoning Commission" After discussing the matter a motion was made by Alderman Tingley, accepting the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and instructing the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance annexing the said Anderson property.
