o'c lock.
" Present were Chairman Sundby, and members Mayor Milbert, Councilman Pokorny, Jr.
Stannard, Larson and Blake. The City Manager, Brubacher, City Engineer, Strojan,
City Building Inspector, Blomquist, and City Planner, Hawks.
Case No. 1. 64-6-Special-Use-Permit and Rezoning.
Applicant: William J. Olson
Subject: A request of a Special-Use-Permit and extend the C-2 boundary lines. A
Special-Use-Permit to construct a gasoline filling station and the extention
of the C-2 boundary for the construction of a Milk House on the property
located on the Southeast corner of Blake Road and Excelsior Avenues or
on the following described premises in Hopkins, Hennepin County, Minnesota,
viz: "All of that part of Lot 77, Auditor�s Subdivision ��239, Hennepin
County, Minnesota, described as follows: Commencing at a point in the
center line of Excelsior Blttl,. 30.01 feet West, measured along the center
line from the point of intersection of said center line with the East
line of Lot 77 , extended; thence South along a line parallel with and
distance 30 feet West of the East line of said Lot 77, a distance of 127
feet; thence West along a line parallel with the South line of said Lot
77, a distance of 100 feet to the point of beginning of the tract to be
described; thence North along a line parallel with the East line of said
Lot 77 to the North line of said Lot 77; thence Westerly along the North
"` line of Lot 77 to the Northwest corner thereof; thence South along the
West line of said Lot to a point 45 feet North of the Southwest corner
of said lot; thence East parallel with the South line of said Lot 133
feet; thence North parallel with said West line of said Lot to the inter-
section with a line drawn from the actual point of beginning parallel
with the South line of said lot; thence East in a straight line to the
actual point of beginning, subject to rights acquired by the City of
Hopkins for Street purposes in Doc. No. 529320, Files of the Registrar
of Titles.
Action: Mr. Stannard moved and Mr. Malecha seconded the motion that the Zoning
Reel - 7 - and Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the requests
0 - 450 for the Special-Use-Permit and to extend the C-2 Boundary zone be denied.
Side - 4 - The denial based on the following reasons. 1. Safety factor. Their
are well over 21,000 cars going through this area and the way the roads
are a gasoline station and milk house would cause more congestion. 2.
East of Blake Road and South of Excelsior Avenue the area is all zoned
residential with the exception of these 71 feet and in my opinion
to rezone this area would be "spot zoning". 3. The fact that there
seems to be a difference of opinion of whether we are being ask to
consider 71 feet or 120 feet for rezoning. Unless the footage is tied
� down we would be acting for private interest here and we would be
somewhat out of order in doing so. We should resolve just how much of
an area we are talking about that is presently zoned commercial. The
motion carried.
Mayor Milbert not voting as he had removed himself from the Zoning and
Planning Commission at the request of one of the persons from the area
under discussion.
Case No. 64-13-Zoning.
Appleicant: G. C. Watson
Subject: A hearing published April 16th, 1964, on the proposed rezoning from
Residential District to MR-1 District the following described area
for the proposed construction of an apartment building. That land
in the Double-Residence Zoning District of the City of Hopkins that
lies South of the North boundary of R.L.S. No. 731, North of the
North line of Hennepin County Highway No. 3, and between the East and
West boundaries of R.L.S. No. 731 extended Southerly to the North line
of Hennepin County Highway No. 3, or that property fronting on the
100 Block on 20th Avenue South'.'.
� Request: To rezone from County Highway No. 3, or that property fronting on the
100 Block on 20th Avenue South.
Action: Mr. Malecha moved and Mr. Stannard seconded the motion that the Zoning
450 - 646 and Planning Commission recommend to the City Council the request for
rezoning the above described area be denied based on the following
reasons. First, additional traffic on a dead-e,nd street would create

a hazard. Second, rezoning at this time is untimely. Third, until a
.-. meeting with Minnetonka Village relative to boundary limits is held
this area should not be considered for rezoning. The motion carried.
Mr. Pokorny, Jr. voting no.
Case No. 2 64-14-Roads
Applicant: City Council
Subject: The City Council requested the Zoning and Planning Commission make a
study and recommend to the City Council the results of that study
relative to the proposed road plans for the �rollowing locations:
1. 2nd Street North, or Steven's Oakwood Park area.
2. The alignment of 8th Street or 9th Street So.

Mr. Sundby: Tha chair vi.11 sateztain a motioa:
Mr. Stanoard: "Well, I will mske a motion. That the C-2 boundry
change and the Spscial-Uee-Parmit b� denied for tha
folloaing reasoas of which I havs oise or two Ilated
here. One for the safety factor. I xyoticm that tha
traffic is about 21,000"cars goiag through thsr�e aad
Che way the roads are at the prsasnt tims I dan't
think thay are adequate; juat causn more conjection
than we have naw. Sacond, becaus� F.ast of Blaka and

Tha moCi�ca carried unanimousaly. Mayor Milbert rwt
