The City Clerk read a letter from Planning Director Plescher which in-
clude¢l an excerpt from the Plannlna~ Commission Neeting ~inutes of November
1969. The excerpts revealed that the rezone was denied, by motion, to to the
fact that the property adjoins the Walgren-~J~ntor property which had been denied

Plsnning Director Plescher pointed out the location of the property on vari-
ous ma?s. The Comprehensive Plan idap showed the property as Residential use.
Co~ntsstoner Clark asked h~r. Plescher if it was likely that the property
would ever be develope~ as residential. ~,~r. Plescher stated that, in his op~n-
ion, this woul~n't be possible because of the shape of the property. He also
state~ ~hat he felt that ~,~r. Wagner's proposed use for the property? (lease to a
trailer sales establis~ment) was the best. The trailer sales is now operating
on sai~] prope'.~ty ~na~er a Conditional Use Permit, but a legal lease a ~reement can-

hearing, carried unanimously.
The City Clerk read a PETITION, sit,ned by ~9 property owners in the vicini-
ty of the property, which objected to the rezone and requested tha~ the appeal to

stricting the ~se to o pavkin;] lot. The Staff Review recommended the denial of the
rozone.

Anoka Street; I~ir. Birmingham, 1417 Burwell Street; ~/Ir. Donald Krause, 1430 Gregory
,'.ay; and l'lrancis ~.~cGowan, 1019 Burwell Street. The overall feeling among the ci-
tizens objecting to the rezone was that the whole area is now residential and that
the conm~ercial zone and parking lot would be a detriment to the neig:hborhood.
After much ~]iscussion, Commissioner Clark moved to concur ~ith the Planning
Co,remission decision to deny the rezone, seconded by Comrmissioner Schoneman. Under
discussion: Commissioner Schoneman stated that it would almost be impossible to
locate a pa~.ktng lot on a lot of this size after the proper screening, etc. has
been placed, and it '.'~oul5 be more ¢]esireable 4o keep this well-kept residential
area as such. The motion was then put to a vote, and carried unanimously.

view thrive; James A. Tennis, 1712 Crestview Drive; and John Remain, 1317 Crawfor~]

entered between ~he city and the ovn~er limiting the use of the property and setting
forth the proposed use.
