The following persons appeared: A. C. Clark, 3301 Brownlow Avenue and K. D. Sandstad, 3338 Brownlow Avenue appeared in opposition to the rezohing. Clarence Bros, owner of property on Gorham Avenue between Walker 'Street and 2nd Street NW appeared. A 'discussion was had of what is to be done with Gorham Avenue nortli of 2nd St. W. Mr. Clark said he was opposed to a storage area so close to his home as it will mean more truck driving; he feels that it would be just a beginning, and other blocks will come later. Mayor Hurd said the new street is set to take traffic off Louisiana Avenue. Mr. Sandstad said the traffic from Rodgers Hydraulic Company and Republic Creosoting Company is heavy, and if Victor 'Carlson-is granted a permit he feels Gorham Avenue should be finished and 1st Street cut down for drainage toward Walker Street from Brownlow Avenue. Mr. Bros said he has had a-request-in for two years which was tabled until this came up. He feels his property should be taken care of now, and that there is a need right now to take care of the zoning of his property. Trustee Bolmgren asked if the Village Engineer-has-the necessary plans for the new Gorham Curve. The answer was yes, and same should be a 1953 project. Mr. Clark asked that in view of approving Carlson's request, could we request trees along the road to act as a buffer from the homes along Brownlow Avenue and Louisiana Avenue. Mayor Hurd and others felt that that would be a good deal for the Village to take over.' On motion of Trustee Middleton, seconded by Trustee Bolmgren, the request of Victor Carlson & Sons, Inc. to rezone 'from Residential Use to Light Industrial Use that part of Block 204, Rearrangement of St. Louis Park which lies SWly of Gorham Avenue extending from the NW Corner of said Block SEly across said Block to 2nd Street NW as dedicated by deed to the Village of St. Louis Park, was approved as recommended by the Planning Commission in their report dated Nov- em'ber 15, 19522 by unanimous vote of all Members of the Council present. r� December 8, 1952 75 Hearing on_,Reguest for Rezoning -- Donovan Construction Co. Pursuant to notice published in the St. Louis Park Dispatch November 27, 1952, a hearing was had on the request of Donovan Construction Company for the rezoning from Multiple Dwelling Use District to Commercial Use District of a triangular shaped area located east of the present Meadowbrook Manor Apartment property, north of Excelsior Boulevard and SW of Minnehaha Creek, for the purpose of establishing thereon a shopping center including a gasoline filling station. No persons appeared. On motion of Trustee Middleton, seconded by Trustee Bolmgren, the request of Donovan Construction Company for rezoning the following described property from Multiple Dwelling Use to Commercial Use was approved, and the Village Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance covering same, by unanimous vote of all Members of the Council present: That part of Section 20, Township 117, Range 21 ----- Starting at a point on the north line of Excelsior Boulevard, such point being 1"0.34 feet east of the north and south center line of Section 20, Twp. 117, Range 21; thence north 0.00 a distance of 810.63 feet; thence SEly along the center line of Minnehaha Creek approximately 1200 feet to the north line of Excelsior Boulevard; thence Wly along the north line of Excelsior Boulevard approximately 750 feet to the point of beginning. Hearing on Application for Rezoning -- G. F. Lohman Pursuant to notice published in the St. Louis Park Dispatch November 27, 1952, a hearing was had on the application of G. F. Lohman to rezone that part of the following tract of land, not now zoned Commercial, from Residential Use or Open Development Use to Commercial Use --- that tract of land lying north of Highway No. 7 west of Texas Avenue, south of 36th Street and east of Minnehaha Creek, except Park Knoll School property. Robert Johnson, 3544 Zinran Avenue and others from the area appeared in► opposition to the rezoning. Mayor Hurd read letter,-from Calhoun Realty Company (Lohman) dated November 7, 1952, requesting the rezoning, and explained what was to be constructed and the 1801 to 2001 buffer strip, so that those present could get an idea of what is going to be done. The Occupant of 3537 Zinran said he just moved''in a -week ago and said insurance rates go up near Commercial property. Mayor Hurd said Home Owners should get their information from the right persons, and not from the man who wants to unload a piece of property. Robert Johnson' said the letter from Lohman sounds ambiguous, and Planning Commission's report is not clear. He said he would like more information as to what it is going to look like. Mr. Lohman was present and gave a story of what had gone on. He feels that folks are unduly alarmed, and wants them to know that he built Hobby Acres and Knollwood, and wants to build a shopping center that will do Hobby Acres and Knollwood credit as well as the homes north of the property. Has a 5 to 20 million dollar project in view, and taxwise will be worth much to adjacent as well as home owners at large. He showed a tentative plat of the property. It is possible that two—family dwellings will be built along 36th Street. The Highway No. 7 Service Road will be in front of the entire project. He feels that worry about children is over emphasized. Mayor Hurd explained the buffer zone as a beauty spot. He feels that the Village Council will have to define screening wanted as buffer. Traffic control from 36th Street can be taken care of on plans. Says he feels that two entries would be sufficient on 36th Street but cannot be determined as there are no plans on hand. On motion of Trustee Bolmgren, seconded by Trustee Middleton, the applica— tion of G. F. Lohman to rezone that part of'the following tract of land, not now zoned Commercial, from Residential Use or Open Development Use to Commercial Use was approved, and the Village Attorney was instructed to prepare an amend— ment to the Zoning Ordinance covering same, by unanimous vote of all Members of the Council present: The tract lying north of Highway No. 7 west of Texas Avenue, south of 36th Street and east of Minnehaha Creek, except Park Knoll School Property.
