ZONING
A. Charles E , Anderson (8) 105 N�rth Lilac Drive
Committee member Swans�n read the foll�wing report :
"The pr�pflnent is requesting Business � Pr�fessional Office
zoning f�r a three parcel tract l�cated at the northwest corner
�f Glenwc��d Avenue � T H 100, which is presently zoned Open
Devel�pment. The c�mmittee, in reviewing this request f�ar the
third time ( see P C minutes 11 - 10-66 corrected and 12- 15-66) ,
noted that the petitioner is prop�sing the c�nstructi�n of one
Business � Pr�fessi�nal ,type �ffice �n the three parcels , the
tittes to which wiil be merged after purchase by the proponent .
The C�mmittee, in reviewing this request , wishes t� stress
several points. They are:
1 . The prc�perty in questi�n, due to the topography is orientated
more t�ward T H 100 rather than Glenwo�d Ave.
2. The property, again due t� the t�pography, is highly unlikely
to develop residentialty.
3. It was believed that the min�r traffic, generated by this land
use w�utd be orientated more t�ward 7 H 100 than t� Gtenw�od.
With this in mind, a m�ti�n was passed to recommend approval of
this petition. "
MOVEn by Anders�n , seconded by Franzen t� accept the C�mmittee ' s
report did not carry with 5 ysa, 8 nay.

Minutes Qf the G V Planning Commission 2- i6-67 (2 )
In reviewing the past hist�ory of this parcel , ( see P C minutes
8- 15-63; 11 - 14-63; 12- 12-63) the C�mmittee wishes to reaffirm the
Commissi �ns past recommendations. They are essentially that at
the time �f rezoning to tight industriat of the back portion of the
Hammond property, the fr�nt portion be platted with stre�s, have
sewer and water instatled and be z�ned residential .
The zoning committee unanimflusty recommends denial of this petition. "
MOVED by Swanson, seconded by Brown, carried unanimously, to refer
this item back tQ the Committee in view of new evidence presented
by Mr, HammQnd for reconsideration,
C, MINNEAPOLIS, NORTHFIELD � SOUTHERN RR (7 & 2 )
Cammittee emember Swanson read the following report :
��The pefiitioner has requested that the RR property 1QCated north
of T H 55 in the appr�ximate arsa of the Glenwood Addition be
rezoned fr�m Open and Industrial t� Railraad zoning. The purpose
of thi-s request is to all�w the RR to �rry �ut on its property
those functions necessary for its operation.
The Committee, in reviewing this request , feels that this is a
reasonabte and logical request in that some of the property is
presently being used for rail purposes and this rezoning wauld be
in keeping with present and future land use in the arm. The
CQmmittee does recommend, however , that lots 147 , 148, � 149 of the
Glenw��d Additi�n remain in their present zoning classification
which is Commercial . This property, which is owned by the RR is
presently being used for a parking lot , and to rezone these three
lots would seem t� be inconsistent with past Planning Commission
action,
With this in mind, the Zoning C�mmittee unanimously recommends
approval fflr rezoning to Railr�ad with the exception of Lots 147;
148, and 149."
MOVED by Br�wn, seconded by Swedberg , to appr�ve the committee
report, czrried unanim�ously.
PLAT

Committee Chairman Carls�n read the following report :
"The request is for a replat �f Lot 8, Block 3, Advertising
Creative Center . After lengthy discussion as to the reasoning
behind the replat , the committee wishes to make the following
recommendations : That the reptat , called Suburban Industrial Park,
Lots 1 -5 , Block 1 , be approved subject to any and all easement
requirements as set forth by the Vi1lage Engineering Department.
The Committee further wishes it t� be ctear at this time that any
request for Jot divisions in this area fo114w the standard Vil1age

interchange.
