And M emb er s of the Hon. Common Council,
City of Rochester, Minn.
Dear Sir:
At a meeting of the Zoning; Committee on Sept. loth in the City Hall
it was decided that members of the committee should proceed to deter-
mine, if possible the .sentiment for or against Zoning, among members
of their respective groups and among citizens in 'genera].. As one of
the American Legion representatives on the committee, I proceeded to
get the sentiment and the following represents the expression of a.
numhrb of people with whom I ii.ave come in contact:
R..TFRICPI,T LEGION STUTIKIE T ON ZONIN(I.- At a, regular meeting of the
Wn T. McCoy Post ;',!92 'of the American Legion held on Nov. 01,1935,
several members spoke in favor of Zoning, and pointed out some of
it's desirable features. However; the majority of the members who
expressed themselves, were opposed to the Legion endorsing Zoning
for a number of reasons. One membercalled attention to the lack of
sufficient
information
at
the present time
as to
just what
a Zoning
Ordinance
for the city
of
Rochester would
embody.
Another
referred to
it as a controversial subject that should be avoided by the Legion, or
at least have the expression of Mott of it's members, by taking a,
straw vote. A motion was made at the meeting that a straw vote of all
the memb er s numbering about 460 be taken.
t abl ed.
.
This motion was later
Other Legion members st at ed that they felt that Zoning should have the
whole -hearted support of a majority of the citizens before an ordinance
was enacted, and that the vot er s are entitled to first know what an
ordinance of this kind will include; before being asked to express
sentiment for or against such a move; Still other referred to the
manner in which this is being handled as 'just another political move' ,
and that they hoped that the Legion would be ' left out of it' 4
CITIZENS M WING AT FOLWELL SCHOOL.- A meeting was held Nov. 4th at
the Folwell School to discuss Zoning. I attended that meeting as a
resident of that section of the city. While a majority of those
present favored some kind of Zoning Ordinance; yet several prominent
citizens of that part of Rochester questioned the manner in which a
Zoning Ordinance for Rochester was being approached. One citizen said
that he doubted if it was desirable to force a Zoning ordinance thru
without first informing the public as to what a Zoning Ordinance for
this city would include, and to get the whole -hearted support of the
average home owner first, and be certain that a majority of the
citizens favor it before enacting the ordinance. It was stated at
403 \
0
the meeting by a city official who was present, that the City Council does
not wish to force. a Zoning Ordinance on the citizens, if the majority do
not want one. Another prominent resident of that section called attention
to the fact that with all due respect to the business and civic organizations
of the city, that c3artain groups in them have always favored Zoning, and that
their oombined membership does not even represent 10% of the voters of
Rochester. Therefore, if every member of all these groups endorsed this move,
you would still be a long way from having the sentiment of the majority of
the votersi
MY PERSONAL VIEWS. - I am in favor of some'kind of Zoning Ordinance for
Rochester. I think -there are some very de-sirable things to be had under
Zoning. However, no matter how much I am in favor of this move, yet I con-
i
sider it unfair to the people of Rochester not to first inform them as to j
exactly what an ordinance of this kind will contain, as Zoning Ordinances
for all cities are not alike. And second, to determine the true sentiment
of the voters by permitting them to express their approval or otherwise, at
the polls:
Most people are in favor of Zoning in -a somas as it protects the setback along
certain streets when new houses go up*, and thereby safeguarding property
values, and further, by preventing industrial or commercial houses including
filling stations, beer parlors, etc.; from being established in residential
district_o. In fact$ Zoning seems desirable .as fax as the "protective" ob-
je-btive is concerned. However, the majority are not in favor of a long drawn
out ordinance with so many restrictions that it will be a detriment to the
growth and development of the city, instead of a, help. It has been pointed
out that too much zoned area particularly in the business district is regarded
as the chief abuse of Zoning Ordinances as adopted in some cities.
When people are asked whether or not they are in favor of Zoning for Rochester,
some reply in the affirmative, others in the negative while a large part of
the people are "on the fence" as far as this subject is concerned. The i
latter group, comprising the majority hesitate to express an opinion until
have had a city plan and Zoning ordnance laid before them se th t they
they/can see what it is all about. As stated by one city official recently,
people really do ..not know at the present time whether or not they favor
Zoning.. -If it benefits and protects their property; naturally they want it
If it contains drastic provisions that are too burdensome to bear in pro-
portion to the benefits derived, you cannot blame them for not wanting it
Thepresent plan of proceedure by the local Chamber of Commerce might be al-
right as far as preliminaries are concerned, but it does not go far enuf. True
sentiment of the majority of the citizens, cannot be gained without permitting
them to vote on the question at the poles, after the proposed ordinance has
been drawn and explained:
I do not think.that a,matter of this kind should be rushed thru. It is some-
thing that will vitally concern all property owners, and should be given
careful consideration. I do not think that a pledge should be given, or a
resolution passed to endorse a Zoning Ordinance befor one has been drawn up
04 c
and the local authorities have had an opportunity to study it's
contents in detai14 I would be in favor of simpl*fying rather than,
complicating the Zoning Ordinance to start with, and have it made up
of a number of the more important things that most people expect a
Zoning Ordinance to accomplish. With this in mind,it should be
possible for the City Building Inspector to see that it's provisions
are carried out along with his other duties, which are of similar
nature, rather than to have a special Zoning Commission of 5 or 7
members to administer it: However, if the city council sees fit to
turn the control of Zoning over to a commission, if and Wben such an
ordinance may be enacted, then I think one of the qualifications for
�i members on this commission should be that they own property in the City
i of Rochester, in -as -much as property owners are the ones directly af-
fected b, such an :oi inancev
