the are� North of Honeywell whe�e s good portion of the strezt area is used
for p�.rking." "I have other material but I d��n't think we should go into that
at this time."
A Lady: "Ho;a long doas Hone�well have a contract to us2 that area for p�.rking;"
Mr. Brubacher: "I do not know."
iKr. Miller: "It was for five years."
iKrs. Miller: "'rhere was an Ordinance taht stated tnat after five years they could not
use it."

the area for p.�.rking."
Mr. Miller: "The '�Iayor can fill in the back ground for you gantlemen• "We have a
traffic problem." "All of Monk and 2nd Street North, Tyler and 2nd. Street
North, you can't drive through there." "And the dust is another problen."
"And in the Winter they want to plow their p,�rking lots at night." "They .nake
such a noice that it is nothing short of a nuisance." "Our property values are
^ cut in the real estate .narket." "I am through paying for se�er." "It is .a pain

with this land." "I gave this to the town so that they would huild this up."
I s�ve3 the corner lot so I can't get out onto the street."
....
Mr. Brubacher: Mr. Ringstad and this gentlenen have �ad a proble� for many years."
"We �ave held them on a string because if we put 2nd. Street in would take their
ho�e."
Mayor Milbert: "Are there a p�tition for re-zoning or for a buffer strip. ?
Mr. Haw'�.s: "You think this area should be given up for an Industrial are�.." "If so
make it Industral property."
A ge�tlemen: "I d,� not think it will support any area except apartment where they d�
not expect privacy."
Mr. Hawks: "County Road ��18 will ga by the Railroad Tracks on the T,�est side." "There
is to be a diamond at Monk." "St. Louis Park have put in a section of curbs
that will force the trafic to go up to Highway �k7, it cannot come through."
~ "Mo�zk Ave�ue is being re:.ogniaed as a Norht-South Stre�t." "We are faced with
w'iat to d� with this area." "There are 13 ?�ouses �n the only goo3 land."
"We have the Nursery, that we are going to have a harder time to keep �.s a
Nursery as time goes on." "We have 37,0��� �ars on highway ��18 into Highway ��7."
"It is not a good area for housin;." "If that is true ;ae '�ave a single family
,�
�istri�t that will co-n� through this w:ay and then the question of how will you
go to get into this area is upper most in our plans?" "The County wants a �
diamond in these thre� different areas." "It is not going to help this area.
"�lhere is the land for the diamonds coming fro:n?" "iVot on 2nd, that is not to
satisfactory." "The question is , how far are we going to go." "We have a couple
� of studies for this, just one method is to -nake a discribtion as to �ahere tne
new line is going to be." "I re�ogmize that twu new homes have been built here."
"That means that 2nd w�uld come straight across and tie into Lake and Monk."
"Everything below will be Industrial." "So:ne of the property will have to be
tak.en for p�.rking space." "That will mean your house plus 19 �ther homes that
are below that line." (all this time Mr. Hawks is wurkino with the map showing
the area he is talking about) .
Lady: "Wtzere are you on second?" (Mr. Hawks shows her) . "All of th�s is Industrial
now." "That would not give us a buffer zone." "Take our house too, make a ne�a
ro.sd go across here." "Where would that be, 3rd?" (wo.rking with the _nap) .
Mr. Haw'�.s: "It is going approximately 200 fe2t here." "It goes right North of t�e
.�
"chict�e_�" house." "This is residencial area." "It might not be used, but the
main tning here was to keep most of the houses facing on the street."
Gentle�nen: "rhat would keep most of the traffic down here." (working with the ;nap) .
Mr. Hawics: "There is no reason for the traffic to go up in that area." "There is no
way out."

Mr. Else: "W"lzere 3oes 3rd come out?"
�-.
Mr. Hawks (pointing to the �nap) "This is where it hits Coanty road �k18,"
"This is an .�.ttempt to keep all of the housing that is noa bsilt." "These houses
are here." "i�e •;a�uld s�aing back up �n 18 and onto Monk." "'I'nis way it would
increase the residencial �.rea," "In the first plan the Industri.al would be to
this point, on this one it would be below the hill."
Lady: "I do not like that."
Mr. Haw'�s: "This plan would not disturb as -nany people." "It would save 16 houses."
Mr. Stannard; "Jim wnere is Re3 Owl on that m�p;" "That is 8econd Street and it
comea in there?" (Mr. Haw'�cs is showing Mr. Stannard wliere Re3 0w1 is and w?iere
6econd Street is).
'� Mr. Hawics: "i�e did turn it just before the spar co-nes off." "Just North of the switch."
Ma.yor Milbert: "It will take out all of tnose houses?"
Mr. Miller: "I an in favor of the w.zole thing."
Mayor Milbert: "I think what Jim is trying to s.�y, is that we are trying more than one
way to work out this proble:n." "There is a naw plan that would s;aing out and
take out quite a few more housas."
Gesztle:nen: "Ho-a about 2nd, Street, Hoa doss it co.ne out?"
Mr. Hawks: "There is �ne plan to m,�ke 2nd Stre2t a through stre2t." "It will be close3
:most likely." "We �ave be�n aware of your problems but we have been waitinJ for
the County to get to a p�int w'�ere we had to �:nove." "I d� not think there is
---•
a:ny hope for this ho�n��." (Point to a hone �n the ,nap.)
Mr. Sundby: "Jim at this particular time there is not anything we can d� to .nove;''
Mr. Hawks: "I think the �ity at this time, well, wa can have � say so, but I can't s.ay
how much good it will do us."
Mr. Brubacher: "If County Ro.�.d ��3 does not go in 2n3. Stre�t there will not even be an
interchenge, there will be just an over pass."
Mr. Else: "What did w� 3o there?"
Ma.yor Milbert: "The traffic will have to go all the way over to 5th."
Mr. Brubacher: "No, they will go like this, all of tnese houses raill go."
Mayor Milbert: "All of these houses will go?"
Mr. Brubacher: "Yes, The �ounty Engine�rs have said there will be nothing but diamQnds

or full inter-changes." "No through stops."

Mr, Brubacher: "Well they will until we let the:n kno-a �a1.1at w�� are goin� to do with

Mayor Milbert: "There arz two ar three plans for County Road ��3 aren't there?"
Mr. Brubacher: "The;� are all based on w'iat will happen �iith County Road ��3".
Mayor Milbert: "�lithin a month or six weaks we s'�ould be able to tell these pe�ple
w'�at they are going to have to do."
Mr. Sun'��1:�: "It will be some time until we know w'iat is going to hap�en in your area."
"It could be e��en shorter than that." "We '�.now tfiat your are�. is not getting a
great deal of satisfaction at this time but just as soon �.s we do know wh�.t to
expe�t we will let you know."

^ Applicant: Zoning and Planning Co�Yu�nission
Subject: Ho;a to handle tne (M-D) Multiple Residence portio�.s of
Ordinance �k131."
Request: Hoa to '�andle chan;es without actually �naking chan;es on the
Zo:�ing map itself at this time but to control the de�_zsity proble:n.
Mr. Brubacher: "This is o�ne that we :�ave ask Mr. Vesely to help �is on."
Mr. Hawics: "I d�rafted the proposal for two Multiple Residence area." "This was on the
ass�a.�nption that w�� w�are going to '�ave two Multiple Residence 3istricts."
�'���/��/����li�y6T�L�L�/��i��¢���i��6X¢�'J "The�e is some �a.iat of a question if you can
make pieces of an area into more than one type of area anyway when Mr. Vesely
receive3 my proposed treatment of the Multiple Residence areas he said it could
not be done that way." "It was completely wrong."
Mr. Vesely: "Let me p�zt it this way." "This applies generally to z��ning."rhe o;�mer
ship of land is unique .nn the fact that the law says there '�trxis�not like
ownership of most things." "it is not like owning something that is re_novable."
"In the 2nd place there is not in the wo.rld two lots that are alike." "The law
s•�.y that no two lots are the s.ame." "This is not the sa-ne with pers��nal property."
"rhe 3rd thing you should know is this, what is tnis waen a �n.sn buys land."
"vJhat he is really buying is a bundle of sticks." "What zoning is and does is
that it removes some af these sticks." "I do have three sticks here and here I
have two sticks left." "So z�ning is takino a certain piece of land without
do process of law." "That process is know.z as conde:nnation." "There is two ;aay
�.
to conde�n land for a road." "i�Then you do it the first way he bets the land back
is whenyou abanUnned the road." "I can take the road back." "It starte3 in
Ohio in 1876." "They said you could not just build w:�eree�ver and wlienever you
wante3 to." The S. Court knocked that ruling out." "In 1890 or so the Court �
found that if Zoning is 3one propertyly you may re-zone and re:no�ae s�:ne of the

sticks and _not p.�.y ..the ma.n for the sticks you take away." "�ou could Zoning
but the p�ople would get more and more po;aer." "Up until now the tread thet
is ra¢it17y grow;zing to do :nore zoning rather than less; the trend use to be
.�.
3 or 4 and now it the next 15 to 25 years the increase will be even greater."
The _-�ext 15 to 25 years they will be growing to 20 to 25 times the past.
"Your questio.�. is, you now �Zave a zone calle3 Multiple Residence and they tell
you what you can now d�." "That man that wons the land and w?zo has bought this
lot knows what his rights are and Ithen set a price on his land aco�arding to the
Ordinance." "No� you s:�.y we are going to take this are�. and re�nove so:ne of the
sticks but re.�r'�er when you do this that you are re,noving from him more of his
sticks." "You are therefore to be on the save side you .nust ad�pt the same thing
as ad�nending the zoning Ordinance." "'i�Then it is taken into court I will take
you step by step." "All the records must be very carefully keep." "Jim sa�_d why
can't we d�� here the s�.me as C-1- zone." ".iome �-1- can du things that others
-� can not d��." That bring me into so�ne other things." "On �xcelsior Ave�zue you
have create3 fire limits and that m.�.ke the Zoneing appl:_cation here different."
"But you could have still said that on this Avenue you can require every bus
stop back 10 fe�t." "But these is not what yos are 3oing here." "'Yos must re-
zone." "You have a map snd in A,B, and C you can do this and on 'J, E and F you
can do this." "But w?iat you can d� is re-zone." Mr. Vesely went on to esplain
in detail the way to handle the rezoning and the ad_nending of the rezoning
Ordinance."
Mr. Sundby: "The original thought was to up-grade the Ordin�.ace from �ahat it is no;a."
Mayor Nlilbert: "Joe says we ::an no d� it without changing the Ordinance."
Mr. Hawlcs: "Yoa would have to change the Jrdinance anyway; (Mr. Hawks shows the m��.p
.-.
as it was last time). "So:ne of tnis is now C-1-; only part if it are ;ae concerned
about." "That part is this piece." "There is so:ne B-R that would permit
residence up here." "We have som �Iultiple out of that area." "Tl�ere was a
question as to w�aither we ;aanted to go this far or w11at." "I t'nink this should
be taken out of the v-1- district myself." (w�rking with the z��zing map) .
Mayor Milbert: "Just tnis block here or �oth sides of seventh?"
Mr. Stann.ard: "Do you think that it is smart to d� this piece meal?"
Mr. Sundby: "i�e are responsible to up-grade the district and we �:nust be careful of
what we will come up with in a year or two." "So�ne of this is of less value."
Mr. Stannard: "That is what Mr. Else 3aid of that District too."
^ Mr. Else: "Wizat is the re�.l prepase so we d�� not get someone in that we do not want in?"
Mr. Hawk:;: "No it is be�ause of our downto;�n plan, there is no co:nnercial in this area,
and ��ae are en.courag�n� p�ople to do some thing that we 3o not want thezn to d��."
Mayor Milbert: "This is the same are�. for p,�.rking lots."
iKr. Sto.rjan: "This is through out the C-1 are�. or z�ne.

Mayor Milbert: Crestland p,�id $910 snd 2 was Commercial and the other half is in the

Mr. Ha�aks: "I think we hav2 the sam� thing here." "If we 3� assess people the s.ame
as we did the last tim�."
Ma.yor Milbert: "The assessm��nt is based on three d.ifferent assessments."
Mr. Brubacher: "You can cancel assessment that have been made but you can not add them."
Mr. Brubacher: "Are you prepared to put parking lots in this area?"
Mayor Milbert: "'You take this area out of the Cormnercial z�ne and no;a you are going
to put it back into the �ozunercial area, I do not think this is right."
Mr. Haw'�cs: "We are goin; to have to make so:ne proposed changes ;or you are not going
to have any plan." "Doan-tow.z is a pretty diffident use." "They out to be

are going to exp�ct pe��ple to �one in '�ere and build apartment you ?�ave to �ive
the;n some reason to build." "Did we assess this up here?"
Mayor Milbert: "rhey are not in the C-1- area." "Vesely said yoa coud�.d not assess
when they w�re _not in tne C-1 area,"
Mr. Else: "We should see .hoa much money we �.re talking about."
Mayor Milbert: "That we s.ay." "But now why da^aw it in just so it will fit." "So-ne o�

Mr. Sundby: Case No. 63-18; Applicant: Mr. Richard Prosen in behalf of Hopkin�s
Col�nbus Ho�ne gssociation.
Subject: A building p�rmit on a lot that has b?en designate3 as a lot
to become a City p�rking ramp.
"" Mr. Sundby: "Jim, wnat do you have on this?"
Mr. Hawks: "Here is your down-town map." "You see we have lots 11, 12 and 13 set
up along with lots 22, 23, and 24 of Block 5 for parking lots." "Now
on Lot 24 the house that is there would be removed and Mr. Prosen's
group ;aould build an office, retail store and a club?" "iVow, this is a
question we have discussed .m�:ny times, what if some one come along and
prop�ses a use for one of these lots that does not go along with our
plan." "This has now happ�ned and we will now have to :nake up ��ur minds."
Mr. Malecha: "That go�s back to Paul's question that if we are going to work with this
plan we �nust adopt it."
^
Mr. Sundby: "But w� are really saying that we want to go along with the plan -ahen :ae
continue to ;aork with it."
Mr. Haw'�cs: "This particular parking lot is the one that we felt could be use3 for a
ramp." "It is a little bite .more than just the p,arking we are considering."
"We could shift to the Post Office but we might find that a poor idea also."
Mr, SundSy: "I'his is a key site as comp.�red to the outlined p.�.rking lots."
Mr. Hawks: "These p,arking lots .�.re to pick up tha outlying area parking."
Mayor iKilbext: "To go into this psrking lot pr�blem a little bite, our original request
was that we pick up 32 lots immediately." "Mr. Ho�aell says now trat we
can not pick up the 32 lots at this time." "He feels that it is to much
at one time, is not the ;aay you understand it, Doug?"
....
Mr. Tim�nerm.�.n: "That is correct, but they nave not said what are the principal lot in
tne plan."
Mayor Milbert: Mr. Gladwin said that he was in no hurry to see these lots picked up."
"He fe�ls that office building space is a bite over-d��ne right noa."
Mr. Hawks: "As stated e�ven this one :.ould be shifted South and it would be a key lot."
"But your are just prolonging the decisi,on.
Mr. Titrr,nerm,�.n: "If you contact the psople on 9th, you will fine that those threz lots
on 9th are or will be available."
Mr. Hawks: "The vhurch will be available soon."
Mr. Stannard: "At this present time it would not hurt to change."
^ Mr. Ha�aks: "You effect the p��ple on the South side �f Excelsior."
Mr. Tim,nerm,�.n: "If we :.ould move it would be better to buy this lot right no�a rather
than-let the lots get started being use3 for other purposes."
Mr. Stannard: "Yea, but I don't knoa just how :nuch money the �ity has to purchase this
property.

The �pril 9th special Zoning and Planning CoTnnission meeting ;ninutes continued.
Mayor Milbert: "We sell bonds to buy the lots." "That is how we got the lots behind
m� and Hoa�lls."
Mr. Prosen: "The �ity can help by �eour moving the lot d�wn one." "We '�,ave sold our old
�-.
building to Bursch's and it will be p.�.id for by May 1, of 63.:" "That
will will help the problem behind Stannards and releave Brus�h's parking."
Mr. Stannard: "Bursch's can�t build on that lot e�ven if it is paid for as far as you
are concerned." "He has all three lots in or under one morgage and has to
pay them all off before he :.an make a nove of any kind."
Mr. Prosen: "i1e 3id not know that this lot was :narked as a parking lot when we bought
it."
Ma.yor Milbext: "Maybe you did�nt but it doesn't seem p,�ssible." "The p��ple who sald
yo;a. the lot knew about it and the person selling the lot is the •�hairm�.n
of the committee."

"'� Mr. Timnerman: "'Le� Mason and Vesely both know about."
Mayor Milbert: "It seem strange though that it never came out."
�r. Tinnnerman: "Have you notice wizat Robbins�ale are doing to provide in�re 3o;�ntown
parking?`' "I can not see that the �iow you can afford the parking lots, but
I ean not see how you can afford not to buy this lot," "The is .�. question
of developing priviate �..ots, in other w��rds can one of these oaners b°ai's.d
a lot for himself."
NLayor Milbert: Mr. Vesely did not you nDtify these p�aple that this lot was in a proposed
section that was to be :.onsidered a parking lot?"
Mr. Vesely: "I did not know wao was buying the lot." "No, I did not know wno it was that
was intereste3."
.-�
Mr. Prosen: "There is one thing sure, we 3id not know it was to be a parking lot."
"This is the first land that we have been in accord on." "And if you are
going to put us off of this prop��rty we ;aill be a long time getting set
up for anytning else." "We _nove ��ery slowly." "We do not require the p,�.rk-
ing lot to the South of us." "Your parking lot to the Soath m���ns nothing,
yoar p.arkin; regulations go off at 6:00 p.m." "�1e �ave fifty feet af
p,�rking and that will take care of us." "That will be all the p�.rking that
we nee3." "Just wizat are w�a fightin�?" "This is a plan from the City
Planner." "Yoa have a plan fron the land o��rners saying that they would
rather have this area co:rnnercial zather than a paricing lot." "I csn't sea
.--.
how you can d� anything unless you have really said that yoa are goin� to
buy these lots."
Mr. Male:.ha: "It is unfortunate but wL have to say that this area is basically parking."

for a club tnat is o�ne thing." "I can only say that it has gone(meaning the
plan) as far as to have a petition signe3 and presente3 to the �ouncil."
Ma.yor Milbert: "People .zave really worke3 and :move3 �n this plan, for the past two
years we have meet and workeri over it and then for the City to be the first
ones to break faith after the others have oone so far, we ;aill have to
move fifty fe2t to stay in conf�:�nuiattin with the plan."
Mr. Ha;akss "This lot is twice the size - - - - "
Mr. Prosen: "You are saying you can condemn this piece and sell it ta us but you can

Mr. Prose:n: ""I have discusse3 this with th� architect and t:liis is not good for our
