commercial zoning requests of Johnson. aid Burton at the N.W. quadrant of Tracy
Avenue and the Crosstown Highway, of Hoben Properties on the S.W. quadrant of
Vernon Avenue and Olinger Road and of Cherokee Sales at the northeast quadrant
of Gleason Road and the Crosstown Highway.
record that, while he takes no position with respec.t to these three properties,
he is disappointed that there is not some place on the fringes of western
Edina to construct a commercial facility .to serve the people who live in that
area. Mr. Hyde noted that the Staff Report showed that a need may exist, but
that Planning Commission had not concurred with the Staff Report and that pub-
lic reaction was vehement in opposition to any commercial facility in western
Edina. Mr. Hoisington pointed out that one petition for commercial zoning
near County Road 18 had been withdrawn with an indication that it would be
resubmitted at a later date. He noted that, in his opinion, the door is still
open for possible commercial development along County Road 18.
representing Cherokee Sales, stated that he feels that there is a.definite need
for a commercial area in western Edina at the present time and that this need
will increase as the area becomes more densely populated.
commercial development should be permitted at the northeast quadrant of Gleason
Road and the Crosstown Highway because there are no nearby houses and because
Cherokee Sales proposes to dedicate the portion of its property closest to the
