1685 Nilsen: Is there anyone who z~rishes to speak further regarding the contemplated zoning between Tatum and Fairview. ~ndersons I vrouldn't argue with the R-3 zoning, IV'ilsen: You are speaking with reference to what line now? The one that is shown on the present man or the one as indicated? ~,nderson: I think the line that is presently shown vrould be better. That means the R-3 zone vrould come up to the South side of Somriers' property, and then continue ~~~esterly as shotivn by the red line. 'IYzat's the suggestion that is already on the map. The other one was to bring it a little further North and continue the line East from the Gasparro property, then cut gown in back of Sommer's property. That would be R-3. Nilsen asked for au ,scions pertaining to ~:~est of Tatum. Ewald Hermes: Could we build our store bigger? Could we move it back and build a new store? Nilsen: That vrould be R-3 and preclude (correct me if I'm wrong) the enlargement of the existing facilities. Cartwright: He could still come in under the variance provision and ask for permission to do it. Galvin: Normal construction or maintenance to a non-conforming use is permitted inclu~!ing non-structural repairs and incidental alterations, which do not extend or inter_sify the non-conforming use. Al±.e~~ations may be made to a building containing a lawful, non-conforming use. The essenee of li1,..39 is that you couldn't build the building any bi~-ger vrithout a variance permit from the Council. In other v~•ords, despite the fact that it is re-zoned R-3, you are lawfully in there and the new zoning would have no effect on it as long as you continue your business, but there would be a restriction on your expanding your physical building unless you came to the Planning Commission or the Council for that permission. iVilsen: Is there anyone else who has a question vrith respect to that property? Then we will move on across to the R-3 tiJest of the Hermes property vrhich is or~ned by I~~Ir. Hawkins. Is .~~r. Hawkins here? I guess he indicated his desires by signing the petition presented earlier. Then South of Larpenteur, the property listed. as B-lA. dir. ~3ilski: I'm opera±,ing a retail store in front of the greenhouse. Does that still bring it under the one family zoning? Galvin: If Pdr. ~3ilski will take a look at Section 1.t.3. In other vrords, you are in there and you can continue your usage despite the zone. By zoning, we can't take away what you already have. Nilsen: Qne of our problems, and vre have a lot of them as one can see from the disci^.ssion this evening, _s as to the present use of the land and possible future use of the land. Dean Fenske, I realize it is difficult for you to project possible increases of purchases of property in the Village of Falcon Heights. That's one of the difficulties we run into in handling all c7f these things.
