Zoni�g Cnmmitt�e member Hetman gave the follc�wing report:
"The principle pc�ints of the Zoni�g Committ�e report on th� Brat�n
shopping center application also �pply to th� �bil r�quest for
rezoning, Tr7h+en thinking of the Mobil application without �he
proposed shappi.ng c�nter, the same pla,nning theory was disc�ts�ed
�cept that we would h�ve to assume, as indicated, tha� the Bro�m
progerty would de4elap .along residential liries. As a result, th�
Committee reco�nds denial of this request."

Zoning Comaui�tee member Hetman gave the fol.lc�w�.ng �eport:
"This p�t3tien for rezoning to our Coramercial Zone was snbmitted
the 22nd of �.ugt�st, and the Zoning Co�nmi.ttee has warked with A�.
Bx'o�m since that time. The final drawir�gg were most accep�able
�o th+� Gommi.ttee, and met the requis�;ments of ou.r ordinances as
r�svi�wed 3s� detail by� th� Co�nmi.ssionis Secretary. Conside�rabl�
disetzssion deveioped as tQ the area tha� this prapased shoppiag
center would s�rve. We �aere re�3.nded of the Gommission�s action
taken and sa.bseq�zently approved by �the Gouneil for a shop�ing
cerrter at Highwa� #100 and St. Croix A�enue. The Co�ission wi31
rec�13'.that this sit� includad not only a shoppin� cent� but also
a substantiaZ area dedicated to multiple dwe11:3uigs. This pro�€c�
has besn a�l�ea au� to the constrfaction of the new overpass t�nd
land conde�atians. When contacting the present o�nar� o� this
prc�perty-, it w�s found that they pl�n to proceed a.s rapidl�r as
possible. This mearis that the propvs�d Brown applic�tion fc�r a�

shoFPing c�nter wou7.d b� approximately 4 of a mile from the now
ex3.st3ng retioned parcel an Hi.ghwap �1C3E1 and St. Croix Avenu�, At
the ti� the Zonirtg Go�ttee r�com�nended approv�.i of this shopping
eenter, it gave its recom�endatio�t c�n the basis of a trans3.tional
zon� between t� shopping center �nd the resid8ntial area which
�aas pl.anned to ho�e multiple dwell3.ngs. This mEant that i.n addition
to the multiple dwellings, w� also obs�rved Bassett�s Creek as a divid3n�
lir;e between thc� r�sideatial area. The Zon3.ng Gommi.tte;e a1.so notes
that l�ts 3, !�, 5 �nd 6 of Yarnall;s Q��lden 9alley t}utZot� have not
as ye� b�en plotted, and it is aur-feeling that these parcels shauld
be d�:veloped alo�g residsnti�l lin�s aYZd should not be inPluenced by
ang type of prupos�d co�rcial �oning ar the de4elop�nt of the n�w
highway, We note th�t th� entire area has deqelop�d along r�sidential
lines with the Pur� �il s�ation b�ing the only exception. We strcnglp
fee7. that this residential dev�lop�ent should eontinu�. The lats at
67�.�p and 6120 St. Croix Aven�, as �ell as those at 17�.� Bruris�3.ek and
�:$C3l�Br�znswisk �ou].d b� s�.b�ect to future eommerci.�l inquiries axid
although fencf.ng has been agre�d on betwe�n th� �pplieants and the
r�sidents, th3.s Com��ee does not believe that a shopping e�ater
proj�ct thi� close to res3d.enti�l lots constitt�t�s good p].azini.n�.
As a result, �.t is the epinion of the Committee that the best passible
use af this �ntire parcel af land is for ftzture residential develop-
�n�C. The Cott�3.tt�e re:cem�nds de�a�.a1 of �he request for rezor�ing."
Since th� above two it�;ms w�re handled ,�o�.utly, a mfltion was macie by Brown

of both requ�sts to �he CQUncil.. Motion u�animousl;� carri�d.
