Continued Page 2. :3 05 The Clerk read the petition of Chandler-Wilbert Vault Company £01' a change in set-back on the SE corner of Hamline and T.H. 36, and the recommendation of the Zoning Board. Membrez moved, seconded by Haruaersten, that the petition be granted. Roll call ~yes-(5) Nayes-(O). The Clerk read the supplementary petition of the Midwest Realty Company fer rezoning the NN corner of T.H. 36 and Snelling Ave. and the report of the Zoning Board with thE3 recoIIUII.ended changes. Mr. D. B. Offerman, spokesman for the group in the Bolstad Addition, wanted to know if additional width on the west side of Fry st. was being considered. He felt that inasmuch as Midwest had so much property, an additional width could I!' be added as a buffer strip and felt it would not hani the project in any way. Mr. Hammond of Vlestruoor Addition said they would stick b;l their guns and I.. tontinue to ask for 130 ft. on the north and 130 ft. on the west and expect to receive it. They have compromised on the matter mld felt the Allied stores would profi t on the deal. Mr. Hammond said when he purchased his property he saw a plat that had been recordàd which showed a 60 ft. strip for road purposes, but maps on hand in the office do not show such a dedicated road. William Mueller, former mayor, spoke mld said he was opposed to the location of the Golden Rule on this site and felt it sÌlould be established in some other part of the Village. He felt the people of Westmoor were justified in askmg that they be protected. He did not think it wise to have all the noise and lights that would accompany a project of thin kind. Mayor Connor said we should confine our reraarks to the matter at hand and a Village needed a project of this kind. He quoted Mr. Graham, engineer and designer of the proposed project, as saying that a street may go down the center of the project. Mr. Heimbach said t hat as long as the Allied stores ha.d no plans for the area south of T.H. 36, it should be left as is, mld give the people in that area the 130 ft. strip on the west mld north as requested. Mr. Hammond said if they were not goJ.ng to get any protectiDn they would take legal action and would tie up the whole project and wanted to know why representatives of the Allied stores were not present at the hearings. Mayor Connor said we could not take the peoples property away from tile. and the Allied Stor~:s would have to be considered also, and they would have to be contacted regarding the recommendations that were being submitted in the discussions today. A project of this kind is needed in all municipalities and we should be happy to get it as it would help the tax structure a lot. Membrez felt the Council could enter into an agreement with the Allied Stores that no road would be constructed on the south side of the 75 ft. buffer strip in the Bolstad Addition. Mr. Offeraan thought we should also request 75 ft. west of Fry St. from the center of the road. Membrez said we would have to sit down with the Allied Stores and go over the matter with them, as the petition did not include the things the people affected were asking for.
