Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park:
Findings
1. Erickson Petroleum Corporation has made application to the City Council

purpose of remodeling and expanding an existing service station and retail store
at 7916 Minnetonka Boulevard, legally described as follows:
Lot 7, Block 1, Texa Tonka 5th Addition
2. The City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the
Planning Commission (Case No. 75 -39 -SP) and the effect of the proposed modifica-
tions to the existing use on the health, safety, and welfare of the occupants of
the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, the effect on
values of properties in the surrounding area and the effect of the use on the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The Council has determined that the modification to the existing use to
remodel and expand the existing service station and retail store will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the community nor will it
cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards, nor will it seriously depreciate
surrounding property values and the proposed modifications to the use are in
harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the
Comprehensive Plan.
