Hearing on Application for Rezoning - Mrs. A. -W. Hammerlund_
Pursuant to notice published in the St. Louis Park Dispatch November 26,
1953, a public hearing was had on the application of Mrs. A. W. Hammerlund for
the rezoning of Lots 10 and 11, Block 319, Rearrangement of St. Louis Park from
Residence Use District to Multiple Dwelling Use District, and from "C" Density
to "D" Density District. The following persons appeared ---- Vergil March,
3723 Rhode Island Avenue said he was opposed to this rezoning as there is not
enough room for off street parking, and all the property around there is resi-
dential and of good value. Floyd Joynes, 3719 Rhode Island Avenue said he was
opposed to a change in zoning this property as same would devalue the residential
property in the area. Roy A. Soucey, 3715 Rhode Island Avenue, Don R. Noel,
3727 Rhode Island Avenue, and John Sage, 7706 Division Street said they were also
opposed due to devaluation of property in area. Clarence Swanson, 3728 Quebec
Avenue appeared in opposition. Floyd Joynes said a number of others who could
not appear are also opposed. Mrs. A. W. Hammerlund spoke in favor of her
petition - said every time she comes up to a Council Meeting she has to fight her
neighbors. She feels that the rezoning would be a financial gain for them. Don
Noel asked if it was the usual procedure to build multiple dwellings in residential
districts. He was told that each case was considered on its merits. Mayor
Hurd re-read the Planning Commission''s report dated November 14, 1953 in which
they recommend a public hearing; also the copy of Mrs. Hammerlund's letter to the
Planning Commission dated November 13, 1953, and E. R. Ludwig's statement which
reads as follows: "The Planning Commission has interpreted this request as one
