Hearing on Rezoning (Arthur J. Eaton)
Pursuant to notice published in the St. Louis Park Dispatch, a public hearing
was had on the application of Arthur J. Eaton for the rezoning of Lots 7, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13 and 29, Auditors Subdivision No. 323, from Residential Use to Com-
mercial Use. The following persons appeared
Mayor 0. B. Erickson explained the method of zoning. Arthur J. Eaton was
called on to explain his project. He showed an artist' s plan of construction
which he feels will make a great improvement. Mr. Kidder said that Warner
Hardware was interested in coming in as well as Red Owl, and that the Arena is
being considered for store business. Mr. White of the Red Owl Store said that
The Red Owl is very much interested in coming to this spot for a store. He feels
that this type of shopping center with amply parking space is what the people
want.
Mr. Eaton said that Iot 7 would be used exclusively for parking - the
project would be a failure without Lot 7. Mr. Friedland asked how close the
new building would come to Lots 4, 5, and 6. Mir. Eaton said Itwe plan to have
space for parking abutting Lots 4, 5, and 6 - possibly 20 feet. Mr. Keller,
III
5601 West Lake Street, Sporting Goods Store owner said he feels that if the
proposed project goes in, it will increase business for his store and others in
the area. It will tend to make St. Louis Farkites conscious of the fact that
shopping can be done in St. Louis Park. He presented a petition of 68 residents
in the vicinity of Xenwood Avenue who are in favor of the project.
Mr. Ben Berkwitz asked that his letter of February 6, 1950 be read. Letter
read. Mr. Sunde, 5530 Minnetonka Boulevard, who lives across the Boulevard from
Lot 7, proposed to be used for a parking lot for shopping center, presented a
petition signed by himself and others, protesting the change in zoning. Mr.
Sunde said he came out to St. Louis Park to live in a residential district. He
offered to purchase the property from Mr. Eaton for what he paid for it. Mr.
Murray, owner of Lot 6, Auditors Subdivision #323 agreed with everything Mr.
Sunde said.
February 13, 1950 319
•
Hearing on Rezoning, (Arthur J. Eaton), Cont'd.
Dr. R. B. Howard, owner of Lot 4, Auditor' s Subdivision ,=323, has three
young children, and is interested in keeping this property residential. He feels
that if Lot 7 is rezoned it is hard to know what will come in at a later date.
Ben Berkwitz said he has lived here many years - says he can't understand why
there is no concentrated business section. Disagrees with Mr. if,hite's statement
that if not rezoned now, it never will be. Mr. J. G. Willar, 3206 Zarthan Avenue
asked what Mr. Eaton has in mind for roller skating rink, and what is his plan
for Lot 12.
Mr. Eaton said that Mr. Kidder was his agent who was contacting prospective
tenants. He would like to remodel the Arena, if possible. Mr. Kidder said his
prospects for the Arena could use same without much remodeling. It is his plan
to have just one large concern use the Arena.
Mrs. Ahlstrom, 2900 Xenwood Avenue said no one is gaining except Mr. Eaton
and Red Owl. He would be willing to help clean up the lots in question and leave
them vacant. Mr. Sutton, 29th & Xenwood said they have children, and agrees
with Mr. Sunde. Dr. Posnick, owner of Park Drug Building said he has commercial
property available and feels that it should be used up before more commercial
zoning is put into effect.
Harry Atwood, 2924 Xenwood Avenue calls attention to the present bottleneck
now at the point, and he feels this new proposed project would make it a terrific
traffic situation. Said we do not need this shopping center for convenience.
Mr. Enoch Anderson, interested in commercial property at Dakota and West Lake t.
gave the following suggestions - (1) adjacent property owners should be cons-
idered. (2) Effect on present storekeepers. (3) Shopping areas scattered - a
hardware store, bakery, supervalue store will come into -his property. (4) Feels
there is a saturation point in stores and we have enough commercially zoned
property now.
Ralph Anderson, 2952 Xenwood Avenue protested the rezoning of Lot 7.
Cannot see any improvement in the proposed plan. Says Lot 7 should he satis-
factory for home building. John Sage, 7706 Division Street says he checked
the zoning in St. Louis Park before he bought his. Feels that if this zoning
went through, there would be no way of knowing when more residential property
would also be rezoned. Mr. Anderson, Dakota and Lake Street, owner of commercial
property said that the Village Council should wait to rezone until the present
commercial property is used up. Yr. Keller feels that the only ones present who
have a legitimate 'beefs are the home owners. He feels that the more business
that comes in, the more business will be assured.
Harry Atwood feels there are legitimate people here tonight, and that the
Council should consider them. Mr. Skunberg, 3364 Zarthan Avenue feels that
added traffic would hurt the area. Asked 'How does our commercial area compare
with other towns'? Not- known. Do you have a policy to follow in zoning? Yes,
and many other questions were asked. Mayor Erickson answered many of them.
Myron Zoss of the Park Drug Store wants the business to come to his corner
and feels that this proposed project would hurt his corner. Mr. Fingerman,
Dakota and Minnetonka Boulevard who is putting tip a super market building there
asked the difference between his project and Eatons. He said rezoning of the
whole block was turned down, due to peoples objection (referring to Adolph Fine's
request). Mr. Anderson said Mr. Eaton bought the present property a short time
ago and knew what the zoning was at that time.
Pr. Friedlund, 2940 Webster Avenue spoke about the traffic situation on
the point. He gave the history of County projects proposed there. The deprecia-
tion of residential property would be great if Lot 7 was zoned commercial. There
are many children on Webster and Xenwood Avenues. Mrs. Sutton said taxes would
be raised due to street improvements, and values would go down, and the quiet
and peace would be disturbed.
M. P. Johnson came to listen. Said values are not affected by commercial
property. Cites Excelsior Boulevard development. Lots there are now selling
for A,000.00, ;r 5,000.00 and $6,000.00 each. If commercial use is cut out, taxed
on homes will be higher. vie must have other than residential property if we
are to pay our way. Carl Graffunder, Architect for Red Owl spoke in favor.
Mr. Sunde said that if Mr. Graffunder owned his property, he would have
a different idea. Why he should have to fight for this, he can't see. Too much
traffic already, so lets not add to the situation. Must protect our own property.
Feels Lot 7 would be a good spot for a home. Mr. Kidder made a talk about taxes
and how industry and commercial pay big share of our taxes. The talk then
turned to beautifying of Park .
320 [4,-;February 13, 1950
Hearing on Rezoning (Arthur J. Eaton), Cont'd. �
John H. Lauren, 2934 Xerrwood Avenue said this project would be different ►'�
from T:loodmarks or Skippy Peanut Butter, due to the traffic situation. He is
primarily interested in keeping Lot 7 residential. Trustee Bolmgren have some
examples of taxes from homes and commercial. Mr. Sunde agreed 6n the tax
figures, and is not against all commercial, but against changing residential.
The Council must consider residents. Mr. Keller said he checked traffic before
he built. Mayor Erickson spoke about traffic signals, etc.
Trustee Bolmgren asked Mr. Eaton what his plans were for Lot 12. Nothing
definite; also how will he use Lots 11 and 29. For Parking. Ilow will traffic
come onto Lot 7. Of of both Lake Street and Minnetonka Boulevard. Harry
Atwood asked Mr. Eaton if he could handle this project without Lot 7. He said
he needs it for parking. Mr. Anderson said it would cost him a loss of 0,000.
on his property if Lot 7 is rezoned. It looks like Lot 7 is the only lot
that is bothering the folks. Yr. Sunde said that in fairness to all the people,
Yr. Eaton should build homes on Lot 7.
Mayor Erickson asked if there were any further questions (10:25 F. M.)
from the Councilmen. The answer was No. Ross Pierson said he didn't like the
mess on present lots. Asked why doesn't the Council purchase the property and
use same for a park.
On motion of Trustee Perkins, seconded by Trustee Jorvig, the above matter
was referred to the Committee of the Whole for further study, by unanimous vote
of the Council.
Mayor Erickson announced that all present will receive a notice when the
decision is to be made.
