<br />Ted Meyer, 1710 St. Mary's, stated he had not had time to discuss the TED MEYER,
<br />new plan with his neighbors, but he, personally, felt it a compromise 1710 ST.
<br />worth pursuing, he could live with the cul-de-sac, but would want a MARY'S
<br />permanent/long term solution with a guarantee that there be no additional
<br />parking on other than the 30 foot strip of the Croft property. He
<br />stressed that he is opposed to a conditional use on the entire Croft
<br />property.
<br />Dennis Smith, 1725 St. Mary's, indicated he felt similar to Mr. Meyers, DENNIS SMITH
<br />would like a long term solution, and requested that the traffic flow 1725 ST.
<br />be structured in such a way that it will not have a large impact on MARY'S
<br />Fry Street. He indicated a willingness to work on the matter.
<br />Wayne Wakefield, 1708 Lindig, commented on the Lido operation, and WAYNE WAKE-
<br />indicated he felt there was a need for this type of business. He FIELD, 1708
<br />also questioned the letter in the St. Paul paper indicating that the LINDIG
<br />private alley would cost taxpayers $1,000,000. Mayor Eggert explained
<br />that it is not known where the number came from.
<br />Jim Bycowski, 1745 St. Mary's, felt there were still unanswered questions JIM
<br />such as an agreement with Hermes, vacation/ownership of the St. Mary's, BYKOWSKI,
<br />devaluation of the Croft property, and the possibilit y that the Croft 1745 ST.
<br />property would become run down if the home is sold or rented. Mr. MARY'S
<br />Bycowski stated he was awaiting a more specific plan, and requested
<br />that any solution be a permanent one.
<br />Chuck Laszewski, 1713 St. Mary's, agreed with his neighbors who had spoken,
<br />and stated he was cautiously optimistic.
<br />David Bishop, 1765 St. Mary's, explained that the $1,000,000 figure
<br />published in the newspaper was in error, misprint by the paper. He
<br />indicated he also is cautiously optimistic regarding the new plan, but
<br />felt there are still many contingencies. He also stressed that there
<br />should be a stipulation that the balance of the Croft lot not be used
<br />fior parking, but that the new proposal seemed like a good one.
<br />Randy Gustafson, 1775 St. Mary's, liked the dramatic, positive changes,
<br />wished a permanent solution, expressed concern as to whether or not the
<br />plan would work for the Lido, or if they might in the future wish to
<br />make the outdoor dining area part into part of the building.

<br />Gary Kwong, 1700 Fry Street, asked if a cul-de-sac is made at the end of GARY KWONG,
<br />St. Mary's if the parking lot would be public or private, and if there 1700 FRY
<br />would be am emergency entrance for fire trucks. Mr. Kwong expressed STREET
<br />concern that traffic would increase on Fry Street and was assured by Planner
<br />Uban that it should not increase a great deal. Mayor Eggert explained
<br />that decisions have not been made regarding the cul-de-sac.
<br />Fred Kueppers, Jr., Attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Hermes,
<br />expressed the following concerns: 1) would the plan consider closing
<br />of the opening to Larpenteur at the Hermes/Lido property, 2) the parking
<br />pattern on the cul-de-sac makes the alley unuseable for truck access and
<br />egress, and 3) if street is vacated, the alley would empty into private
<br />property. He also indicated that there has been no headway made as far as
<br />an agreement with the Lido is concerned. Planner Uban explained that
<br />the plan does show the access to the Hermes/Lido lot on Larpenteur closed
<br />but it is not especially necessary.
