JHearing on Application for Rezoning - Adolph Fine
Pursuant to notice published in the St.. Louis Park Dispatch March 18, 1954,
a ,public hearing was had on the application of Adolph Fine, Incorporated for re-
zoning of Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, Block 3, Adolph Fine's Addition, from Residential
Use to Commercial Use. The following persons appeared:
George Vita, 3005 Colorado Avenue presented a petition signed by himself and
others in opposition to this proposed rezoning. James Frank, 3011 Colorado Avenue
appeared in opposition and stated that they were told that there would be no Com-
mercial building on these lots. Joe Bertzyk, 3024 Colorado Avenue said he agreed
with Mr. Frank in opposing this rezoning. He claims the Fine Company made the
statement that there would be no commercial buildings on these lots. Mrs. Joe
Bertzyk said she is opposed to the rezoning due to the danger of trash fires by
merchants. C. L. Hurd spoke of other hearing two years ago. Mentioned the parking
lot on the PdW Corner of Colorado and Minnetonka Boulevard, stating that the prople
went away with the feeling that no more rezoning would be done in that area. He
spoke about other stores on the Corner of Dakota and Minnetonka Boulevard, and of
the vacancy of the store on the SE Corner of Dakota and Minnetonka Boulevard.
Trustee Middleton said that he feels that this property would be a better
taxpayer than a vacant lot. The group said they would go for two double bungalows
on these lots. Attorney H. Edelman, representing Klein's Food Market and Me Call's
Drug Store made this point - that the Planning Commission visualized the need of
the area at the time of Zoning Dakota and Minnetonka Boulevard, and zoned enough
commercial property at that time. A discourse on economics was carried on. Mr.
Edelman said that Mr. Fine should bring reasops why this zDning should be made.
1frs. Lanz, 3034 Colorado Avenue asked if Mr. Fine could do anything he wanted
to on these lots, if rezoned. Mr. Fernstrom, said that he would have to follow our
building regulations. Trustee Jorvig said that the Council is in a position to
protect residents on Colorado Avenue from Commercial encroachment, etc. Mr. Frank
said that many of the residents in the area have to work on Monday nights, otherwise
there would be a larger crowd. Mayor Fernstrom said a crowd isn't necessary -
just those who are primarily affected. A lady (name not given) asked what the
Council's reason for re2D ning is same is done.. Mayor Fernstrom said that the main
purpose in rezoning property is to get it improved and on, the tax rolls. She
asked if that was the only reason. Mr. Feastrom said no, but also to put property
to- profitable use.
Mr. Frank said that two years ago someone offered to purchase these lots at a
reasonable price and Mr. Fine did not accept the offer. Mayor Fernstrom said that
is never the desire of the Council to work for the benefit of- one person at the
expense of another. Mr. Frank said that he felt that the Council had always been
fair, but does think that this change in zoning would jeopardize their area.
On motion of Trustee Bolmgren, seconded by Trustee Middleton, this matter was
referred to the Committee of the Whole to see if Mr. Fine would care to put in four-
plexes or make a driveway on the property so that Colorado Avenue can be fenced
without entrances, by unanimous vote of all Members of the Council.
