~~~~ Kulkay, there are over 20 vacant lots. ccr.+,' d. Korstad According? +,o the St. Paul average of 3-1/3 persons per unit it would add up to about 132 children and they took about half tha± number to get the 70 they used. Besides the lack of playground facilities, traffic problem, etc., a density of 38.5 families per acre would work out about the sa-~e as putting 12 families on a 100 x 100' lot. Robins Robins said they went to the experts for their information on water. If the experts had said "No - that will cause trouble.", tha±, would be one thing. If the residents went to Teig to get their information of 3-1/3 individuals per apartment unit, they must. also have -one to the vrater department. B~zilder contemplates 50h of the units t^rould be 1-bedroom apartments. How many children can you get where 5G~ of the units ~~rould be 1-bedroom? If this project were to be built in Roseville, «~u would be saddled ~vith the cost of eCUCating the children without getting any of the tax benefits. That four hundred dollar figure doesn't take into cor..s;_~?eration state aici. The state pays so much per child towards education. Proposed buildings are no higher than across the street. Residents must Nava known that property across the street was commercial. He doesn't know who is going to reimburse the c~rdner for the difference between ~r~hat he can get for this property because it is commer~ialy zoned and what he will be able to get if it is rezoned. This has not been offered in the neighborhood. You are going to have to permit some of that property to be zoned commercial. This property will attract people to it who must have some means. The addi- tion of these people will ena'r-~le your business people to give you much greater service. Single bedroom apartments at these prices attract adult pecple of some means. As a district builds up, it is a yell known fact that the last lots available are the most. valuable. !~s the supply gets smaller, the demand gets greater. If the bu~l~3er doesn't build in Falcon Heights, he will build some~~rhere else in the school district and you vrill get the children but not the tax returns. Generally ;;peaking, the people who are against something come out and those in favor of it are lethargic and stay home. He doubts if the group pres©nt represents the majority of the residents. The fact that we are taking ? chance on seven-hundred-fifty thousand to one million dollars certainly indicates that, we are actir~; in good faith. Utecht Utecht asked Shavor how much of the twenty-five or twenty- nine thousand dcllars mould stay in the village. At ~,ia time Geo. I.~embrez said he figured the village wculd get about $4,500.00 and the school tax receipts would be ~1b,500. or X17,500.00. C, J. Reiter ?rr~ heiter;- said it is his feeling that the property was 1746 Fry rezoned erroneously or by poor judgment. He feels putting in apartment houses would be compounding the errors or mis- judgment of former city fat}iers.
