These are the following persons who are named in the petition: Name Address S. P. Bordeau 2223 France Avenue South T. M. Garborg 2211 France Avenue South Clarence A. Dow 2301 France Avenue South E.

Notices of hearing on the proposals to adopt Ordinance No. 142 and Ordinance No. 144 were not served on any of the persons named in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9." Mr. Paul Fisch, President of the Lake Forest Association, and others spoke in favor of the rezoning. They claimed that residents were all for re- zoning. The following letter dated January 28, 1948 from the Lake Forest Association was read: "The Village Council, Village of St. Louis Park, • • Honorable Body: Pursuant to our understanding with- the Village Council, the members of Lake Forest Association, Inc. held a meeting Monday, January 26, 1948, relative to the question of rezoning from the present Commercial status to that of• a Residential site, the property on Cedar Lake Road and France known as: • Lot 1, Block 1, Forest Tract, Lake Forest Addition, St. Louis Park and: Lot K, Block 1, Highwood Tract, Lake Forest Addition, St. Louis Park. At this meeting Mr. E. Rempher, a member of the Lake Forest Association, and living in our community, stated his views, and the views of those with whom he is associated in a business way. He proposed to build a super-market, housing a bakery, meat market, grocery store and filling station, etc., on Lot 1 and Lot K, and presented an artist's sketch of the architects drawings. Mr. S. P. Bordeau, a resident in this district of St. Louis Park since 1935, displayed photographs and artist's drawing of a proposed-Park and Play- grounds, so necessary for the welfare of present and future citizens of St. Louis Park, to be developed not only on Lots 1 and K, in St. Louis Park, but also to include adjacent lot number 38, now owned by this State. This would create not only a spacious playground but an entrance to St. Louis Park that would lend dignity and beauty to our community. After a general discussion, a secret ballot on the question as to whether , February 2, 1948 159 : 1 Hearing - Rezoning (Lake Forest), Cont'd. (Letter from Lake Forest Association) Lots 1 and K should remain Commercial or be rezoned to Residential, was taken,- the result was as follows: 39 votes in favor of Residential zoning 2 votes in favor of Commercial zoning 41 votes from Members of Lake Forest Association out of an estimated membership of 55. 10 votes in favor of Residential zoning 0 votes in favor of Commercial zoning (These ten votes were cast by citizens of St. Louis Park, residing adjacent to Lots in question, but not part of Lake Forest Addition.) therefore, 49 votes (out of 51) were cast in favor of these lots being rezoned as Residential. The writer of this letter, the authorized Secretary of the Lake Forest Association, was directed to inform you of the results of this vote, to be read before your amiable body, and taken into consideration in forming your opinion. • Respectfully yours, Mrs. Paul Fisch, President • /s/ Mrs. H. W. Peterson, Secretary." R. J. Walerius stated that the Pure Oil Company never goes into a neigh- borhood with a service station if residents are against same. He asked that no change be made in rezoning at this time. He said that five or ten years from now, conditions •may be different. 111 Mr. Bordeau said he purchased his property with the feeling that he was buying in a residential area. Douglas Rees representative, Mr. Thompson said in deed restrictions of each lot sold in Highwood Tract and Lake Forest Tract calls attention to the zoning of Lot 1 and Lot K in question. He feels that everyone in Lake Forest should have known this. No one has approached Mr. Rees for the purchase of these lots. Mr. Thompson also said that Mr. Rees feels that a store will be needed there some day and if there is to be a loss, some one should pay for it. President Erickson said there is no money in the 1948 Park budget to purchase this property, and suggested that possibly the Lake Forest Association may want to make the purchase. Mr. Hazilet, also a neighbor spoke about Block 38 in Minneapolis, just North and East of Lot K, which he feels should be a ' later date. . _ a Mr. Fisch said they would talk to the Pure Oil Company this week, and also Douglas Rees about Lot K. Mr. Thompson suggested that this matter be tabled until it is decided that nothing can be worked out. Mr. Fisch asked for a representative from the Village Council who he and his group can work with. President Erickson said he would select a representative within the next few days. Trustee Jorvig suggested that the Park Committee be the one selected. At the request of Mr. Bordeau, the Pure Oil Company (Mr. R. J. Walerius) turned in Building Permit #1912, dated November 20, 1940 for the construction of a Service Station on Lot 1, Block 1, Forest Tract, for cancelation; and the Village Clerk was instructed to return same to the building inspector.
