OBJECTOR OBJECTION
Mr. Martin E. Finch Questioned if the acreage included
1401 Maryland Avenue North Knoll Street.
Mr. Stanley R. Horn Would development close Knoll Street.
1855 Hampshire Lane
Mrs. Arthur C. Meyer What constitutes a square block. Is
6748 Plymouth Avenue North this two or four square blocks?
Mr. J. R. Hamilton Have heard all the arguments, 24 single
1435 Louisiana Avenue North homes vs 52 PUD units. Amended pro-
posal shows nothing new. 29 units are
maximum, they the residents could
accept. The traffic problem is re-
lated to density. More than 29 units
are unrealistic in this area.
Mrs. Barbara Finch Buildings are all on the outside and
1401 Maryland Avenue North nature areas in the middle, trees
won't live there.
Mr. Earl Peterson What are the plans for the water in
1500 Kelly Drive area, there will be 4,000,0 cubic -feet
of water from run-off.
Mr. George L. Quinn Water has been completely over the
6809 Knoll Street road, the only good trees that will
live are oaks on the N.W. corner.
Mr. Hans Garnes We are endowed with resources, there
6801 Knoll Street is a national commitment to uphold
and restore natural resources. We
are under the protection of Minnesota
Statutes 104.42 and 106.21. Must get
permission from Dept. of Natural
Resources. This could be a nature area,
Mr. Garnes offered $100.00 to start a
nature fund for the area.
Mr. S. R. Horn Still looks like row houses.
1855 Hampshire Lane
Mr. James Russell They are taking a parcel of eight lots
7140 Archer Avenue out of PUD. Can homes be built on
50' lots.
Mr. Edgar L. Wolf Should be a preservation of nature area
6418 Knoll Street as a bird sanctuary for pheasants and
wood ducks. Estimated market value of
the property is $14,400.00.
