Building District" belt which lies between a "14ultiple Residence District" belt on the North and the "Planned Industrial District" beginning on the South side of "Industrial Blvd." and extending to the South Village Limits, all being a part of the 200-acre tract knovm as the "Nelson Farm", owned by Stow Development Company. 14r. Hite explained in detail the relationship of this property to the industrial area lying across Highway 100 and to the South, and to the as yet undeveloped property directly across Highway 100, saying the Planning Commission recommends the same type of zoning for the undeveloped property as the present zoning of the Nelson Farm--with "Office Building District" and "Multiple Residence District" buffers between Planned Industrial Zoning and already developed residential plats. 14r. Hite told Council that the Planning Commission has considered the requested Villing station" useage for this land three times, and that each time it has unanimously recommended denial of said useage; that the Commission believes that, not only because of traffic but also because of the other characteristics of filling stations which differ from ordinary commercial uses--hours of operation, lights, etc--the proper place for a filling station is in the "Planned Industrial District" portion of this development, completely away from all residential buildings. Commission feels that should this land useage be permitted at this particular site there is every reason to believe that equal consideration must be given to request for the same land useage on the East side of Highway 100--which site is also close to a one-family residential development, Nr. Hite reported that Planning Commission, after its meeting of June 5 re-affirms its previous recommendations that petition for rezoning to "gasoline filling stationt1 use for Tract L be denied and that the Commission recommends a site in the Planned Industrial District for such filling station. Nr, Josiah E. Brill, Attorney for Stow Development Company, told Council that he and his client think the application should be granted as a matter of right; that there is no valid reason for denying it; that the Council has no valid r.eason for exercising discretion against the petition; that the Company owns land for 1500 feet in every direction from the site; that nobody owns any land who can give valid objection to the rezoning. for a filling station for the planned residential area in the development, because the site can be reached without crossing a heavily-traveled street. Mr. Brill stated that the owners of the "Butler" property directly across Highway 100 have told him they have no objections; that some twelve or fifteen building contractors who have spoken for building lots in the residential part of Nelson Farm have stated they prefer the station at this location rather than the location recommended by the Planning Commission. blr. Brill told Council he does not want litigation on this matter, but that the land value amount is-so considerable that litigation cannot be avoided if petition is denied--that his client has been offered more than twice as much for land as filling station site than for any other purpose. station at this point would put another directly across Highway 100. that this will depend on a number of circumstances; that the law has said that a gasoline filling station, in itself, is not a nuisance; that he does not want to deny there is a possibility of an additional filling station across the highway at some future time. Stating that upon =view of the matter of development of Nelson Farm he had received the impression that when developers were granted industrial zoning they were willing to accept a housing development immediately north of it, and that the filling matter was dropped at that point, tIr, Rixe ask'ed if this were so. that if anybody had asked at that point if developers were willing to waive all rights for filling station he would have said no. this a zoning that is a matter of legal right and that if Council does not act in With the aid of a Vu- -Graph Slide, Planning Director Hite reviewed the location of the tract under consider- This tract is on the \lest side of State Highway No. 100, and the North side of The tract is the eastern portion of an "Office He added, too, that the I .

Mr, Brill answered affirmatively, citing the recent Supreme Court decision on the Olson case as his reason for believing as he does. Hasselquist pointed out that there is a difference, here, however; that the tract here under consideration is in an "Office Building District" and Judge Weeks ruled in the Pearce case that "Office Building" zoning is not commercial zon ing . Company has never asked for anything bu$ filling station zoning on this tract-- that it accepted Office Building zoning to get the plat accepted. the East-West street (Industrial Blvd.) will be heavily trayeled when industry in the area is developed, and that a filling station site at the location recommended by the Commission would mean that home owners wauld have to cross this street to get to this station; that the objection registered by Mr. Carl Struck, Hibiscus Avenue, a few meetgngs ago is not valid because these people are some 2,000 feet from the site. asked if it is not the intent to use this road primarily for industrial traffic; and explanation was then made by Mr. Hite of the general traffic pattern in the entire development, and the Planning Commission's recommendation that the residential section be completely separated from the other zones in the develop- ment , with the "tie" north-south rdad allowed only at developer's insistence. Mr. Hite added that if it is impossible to prohibit filling stations next to residential properties all municipalities are in a difficult possit.ion. told Council it has been the intent to maintain Highway 100 in residential character. developed he would feel there could be some valid objection; that there area ten acres for multiple residences directly to the north of the site and these people are entitled to have their cars serviced. generally believed that the detrimental influences of filling stations do not extend beyond two houses adjacent thereto; the developer is willing to reduce valuation of abutting lots if this becomes necessary. Saying that there has been much talk about values, real estate sales, etc. , Mr, Hite explained that the matter of zoning becomes much more involved than this; that the Commission is attempting to make Edina a fine place in which to live, and is concerned about the people who are going to live in the Village just as much as about those who are trying to sell lots. language of the Court in the Olson case says that these things cannot be taken into account; that this is pure esthetics. Attorney Hasselquist inquired of petftioners as to whether an attempt has been made to convince oil companies to put filling station on the site had been made; that the oil companies will not do this because of the inaccessibility of'that site to the homes. Pure Oil Company's original idea was not to locate its station south of No. 494, and Mr. Stow replied that it was not, Mr, Brill stated that if the oil company would just as soon take the property recommended by the Commissioner petitioner would just as soon sell it to them. Mr. Hyde's next question was as to whether the elevation of the north property does not make it more desirable. answered that elevation is the same for both tracts, and Mr. Hite added that the south site is behind the interchange and cannot be seen. Planning Commission's* recommendation on zoning, added that since there is a question of legal right he moves to defer action on this petition until we get legal advice from the Village Attorney. Motion seconded by MacMillan and carried, Mr, Brill asked that continued hearing be scheduled for July 8, and was informed that hearing will again come before the Council on that date if there is a quorum; that, otherwise, it will be scheduled for July 22. that the oil company representative be asked to be present at Hearing, and Mr. Brill agreed to do so. Mr. Stow stated the proposed station will not be on Highway LOO--that there are two service roads and a 125-foot boulevard between the station and the highway. Mr. Hite explained that all property between the North-South r'tierr road and the highway right-of-way is being considered for filling station site. Mr. Don Anderson of Rauenhorst Construction Company, developers of the industrial property on the East side of Highway 100, expressed his surprise at the feeder road from the residential section into the industrial section of the Nelson Farm Development; added Mr. Hite has explained Rauenhorst's position when he stated that this Company will ask for the same zoning on their property as is permitted across the Highway on the Nelson Farm, Village Attoraey Mr. E.C.
