Vir. Don Anderson, representing the Rouenhorst Company, said that they were asking that the Corimiission act only on the 80 acres of land betiw!een 1400 and 7800 France at this time. He added that they had a nur,.,be-r of possible buyers for the axed, end that they were consequently anxious to move ahead. lie cautioned the Com fission against zoning too much of the area for offices rather than industT, !, saying that the land not only had a better potentia for industrial development, but that there vz,,era many other sites in Edina suitable for office use which could probably not be used for industry. The Co mission generally agreed that the West 76th Street alignment should not Separate the Vi"le,90 Part, from the lake as suggested in Plan B, and that the use of the PXOPexty south of Newt 76th Styeet for industry tvass appropriate. It was nan_nzaily concluded that the i-)roposed car.1-marcial development along France Avenue, as suggested in Plan 3, was not advise!310 e=CPt for a possible gas station site within the area, _It- 76th and France. NO clear agreement vias reached regarding the advis,abili,',-y of Permitting industrial uses north of lNest 76th Street, although this was generally regarded as a pxobable SOUEce of diflziculty in developing the adjacent ;properties to the north. Mr. J.

Hite presented the plan and classified the activities Of the lodge as comparable to those of a church, rather than to those of an Amazican Legion or VFK Hall. The Lodge would be interested in about seven or eight acres he said, and since this is considered as a troublesome zoning corner, Q. Hite felt that this proposed use would be as acceptable as anything that couid be expected. Mr. Robert Doyle, 5028 West 70th Street, opposed the plan pioposed because of the social activities that would be caxy5ad on. Mrs. Henry T. Willette, 5100 West 70th Street, expiassed her opposition to the plan and Mi. James H. Taylor, 5002 Nest 70th Street, felt that there would he a bettor chance of developing the remaining area if a church oo two-family dwelling were constructed on tho site.
