Regular Meeting of the Village Council, December 21, 1965
PROPONENTS REASON
Mr. Ronald Swanson, Attorney Requested the zoning be considered at
for proponents. a continued public hearing or a public
hearing to consider another type of
zoning district for this use.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Member Garis stated the problem is zoning, his personal opinion was that
there is a need for this type of institution, however he did not agree to the
I 3 category due to the potentialkeavy use on the remaining portion not
covered by this request, this would be spot zoning. Member Garis stated
another location on a larger plot would be more desirable, however he saw
no probelem or felt no fear for the children in the area.
Member Flannagan stated he was opposed to institutional zoning, that there
were better places in Golden Valley to locate, however the location adjacent
to the school was no problem, would help the children. Minnesota was no
worse than other states in blind prejudice and ignorance regarding the
retarded, but favored some other location.
Member Teresi considered only the zoning as such and was opposed to institu-
tional zoning in that location.
Mayor Nadasdy. felt a responsibility to the residents and councils duty to
clarify their attitude towards this operation. Mr. Nadasdy reminded council
of the unanimous ruling against this zoning by the Planning Commission. He
found neighbors in St. Paul of the "Greenbriar Home" opposed to that operation.
This zoning would depreciate property or make it unsaleable.
MOVED by Teresi seconded by Flannagan carried unanimously to deny the zoning
request upon recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Ronald Swanson requested guidance from the Council as to some other use
of the property.
Mr. Robert Raugland, President of the Planning Commission, said as a general
guide the Planning Commission had considered either multiple dwelling or
some lessor use to fit into the area.
