this property which is located on the Northwest corner of Prance Avenue at W.
66th Street from C-3 Commercial District to PRD-5 Planned Residential District,
noting that on February 28, 1972, the zoning had been denied along with the
suggestion by PIayalc BrtGleSen'khat Mr. Erickson come back with a new plan which

Erickson, presented site plans which had-been revised from the originally
proposed 171 unit,- tweIire floor building, to a 167 unit, eleven floor ?L"
shaped building which would require a front yard parking variance and a setback
variance on the North of 44 feet. Mr. Dalhgren explained that Mr. Erickson
must have a minimum of 167 apartment units to proriide the amenities that
residents of the building would requl're.
with the D.M.J.M. recommendations inasmuch as an apartment building would
generate less traffic than most C-3 Commercial District uses and that the
revised plan would put the building further away from the contiguous property
to the North. Mr. Clay Snider, 6612 West Shore Drive, representing the Vood-
hill Association, expressed his disappointment in the new proposal, stating
Mr. Luce reviewed the past history of the request to rezone
He added that this proposal conforms

that the'plan is not essentially changed and that it covers a greater area
than the previous plan. He objected to the variances which would still be
necessary and recalled that the D.M.J.M. Report projects that France Avenue
and 11. 66th Street will need to be widened to six lanes. He recommended some
use which would generate 500 trips per day against the 1,000 trips per day
which would be generated by the proposed apartment.
approval of this zoning request would establigh a precedent for other com-
mercially zoned properties along France Avenue. Mr. Arthur Nelson, 6628 Brit-
tany Road, said that this zoning change would constitute spot zoning and could
jeopardize the entire comprehensive plan for the area.
the ability of the Fire Department to handle fires in such a building.
Nelson suggested suitable uses for the property would be an extended care
center, mortuary or home office for a corporation. In response to an allega-
tion of an unidentified lady in the audience, it was emphasized that Mr.
Joseph Erickson has absolutely no connection with Mr. Roy K. Erickson on the
Planning Commission, or with Mr. Thomas S. Erickson, the Village Attorney.
(Mr. Johnson entered the meeting at this time.) Mrs. William H. Fuhr, 6609
Brittany Road, said that this proposed building is too large for the site
and asked to hear from Mr. Erickson, rather than from his representative.
Mayor Bredesen said that it is not necessary for Mr. Erickson to speak unless
he so chooses.

siderably more traffic than the proposed apartment would generate.
that the land will not remain unused and recalled his efforts to interest
various corporations to purchase the property for use as a home office.
Charles Donne-lly, 5205 Lochloy:iDrive, suggested that perhaps the Mayor's
attempts had been unsuccessful because Dayton Development is asking too much
for the property. The Mayor noted that the price is in line with the market
value established by the Village Assessor.

Councilman Shawls comments.
Building, located to the North of the property in question, is at present a
one-story building and that as land in the area becomes more valuable, it is
not unlikely that a request would be made to add to the height of the build-
ing. In response to a question from Councilman Van Valkenburg, Mr. Luce
said that the D.M.J.M. Report recommends that this site be put to a use which
would not generate more than 500 trips per day, but that if public transporta-
tion were improved and the streets widened, these facts would have to be taken
into consideration.

and Mayor Bredesen said that their negative votes were made because they are
troubled about the alternative uses for the site. Councilmen Shaw and
Courtney said that thm, also, shared the concern expressed by the Mayor and
Councilman Van Valkenburg, but that they believed that the set-back require-
ments of the ordinance are just and that the developer should conform to the
ordinance. this project cannot be economically sound with less.

ment would enhance the beauty of the pond.- Mayor Bredesen agreed with Mr.
Nelson that-the Village cannot afford to rezone land based on its economic
use but reiterated that the value of this lahd was determined by the Village
Assessor and that C-3 zoning has a higher value than multiple residential
district property. As suggested by Mayor Bredesen, Councilman Shaw then

Mr. Erickson clarified that Council is considering a preliminary or concept

ORDINANCE NO. 811-A26 ADOPTED ON SECOND READING. Mr. Luce presented the
request of Builtwell Construction, Inc., for PRD-3 Residential District zoning
which had been continued from April 17, 1972, for property located South of
Vernon Avenue and West of Olinger Road. He advised: that the developer has
now conformed with Council's instructions to reduce the number of units from
94 to 82 and to move the clusters as far as possible from the single family
dwellings in the area: the architect and landscape architect representing
Mr. Harold Posnick, the developer, showed site plans for the project. Mr.
Robert Chance, 5804 Olinger Road, said that he was satisfied that this was
the best plan,with the exception of single family development.
H. Fuhr, 6609 Brittany Road, was told that the original request for 100 units
had been reduced to 94 units and now to 82 units. Mr. P. L. Dudek, 6021
Vernon Avenue, objected that, because of the elevation of the site, he would
be looking essentually, at a three-story building. Mr. Dudek was told that
the developer could not be asked to do more than would be required for single
family development, but it was suggested that Mr: Luce try to work out some-
thing more satisfactory in the final plans. Subject to plat approval, Council-
man Van Valkenburg offered the following ordinance for Secohd Reading and moved
its adoption:

to a memo of May 11, 1970, noting that a careful study had been made on

stood that if the new station was built; the old station would be closed. Mr.

fire protection of -the community is the responsibility of the Council.
Councilman Johnson commended Mr. Martinson'and the ladies who had made the
survey. Mr, Hyde called attention to the November, 1967, Fire Underwriters'
Inspection Bureau Report indicating that'the location of fire stations is one
of tnany items considered in the rating of a municipality and that the whole
philosophy over the-past few years is to uge each employee's time tostherfull-
est and best use. He said that it is significant that Police response time
is 3.3 minutes. In reply to Mr. Martinson's contention that Richfield has two
stations for a bopulation of approximately 47,000 citizens,
that one station is a "political station" that is manned ohzy by two men.

against this proposal because of many gross inequities. Mr. Hyde was to point
out that the bkll apparently does not eliminatq or even reduce, existing fed-
