1686 <br />Fenskes Some .years ago we had a meeting with the Village Council <br />in which we indicated the possible future purchases by the University. <br />This included the finp~er that P~.4r. Dahlgren talked about. Since that <br />meeting we have x~urchased the Gibbs-Nelson property and a couple of lots <br />adjacent to it. There is one house fronting on Larpenteur Avenue now <br />that is private property. It could be that the iJniversit~r might buy it <br />if the people who live th ere want to sell it. ti'r'e are not particularly <br />interested in acquiring f ront land. on Larpenteur Avenue. That's one <br />problem that's settled. <br />Nilsen: ,';ell I V~rant to be very frank too. Having studied this <br />~?roperty for a number of ;rears and looking at it, tive only have to look <br />at that map and note the University Golf Course and we can readily <br />visualize or poss~.bly assume that there would be acquirement by the <br />University ~~f P;Rinnesota of properties like that to round out - I'm just <br />guessing as you are. But then we have the other situation too - not <br />knowing what is contemplated, it is difficult to project •~°.h at might be <br />done there. Your investment in property and things like ±hat, you or <br />the o~^m er seriously has to consider, you see. <br />~ilski In other ?worr~s, I have to ramble the investment I put <br />in there? <br />:Nilsen: ',r~ell I don't knoUr ho~rr we handle a situation like that. <br />I just don't know, '7r. 'ilski. It's a real tough problem, but, just <br />facing facts and looking at the mar it, just seems possible that that <br />might happen some time to round out th-~t barticular area. I don't know. <br />I can't say. <br />Nilsen: T:?ow is there anyone else who has a question of any kind <br />with respect to the zoning districts or the zoning ordinance? <br />TdcNulty, °~Tinn. V~rould we be permitted to unload gasoline into a fill pipe <br />Petroleum +.,hat was in the front ~rard set back? <br />Council <br />Dahlgren: I'm sure it isn't the intent of the Planning Commission to <br />restrict the unloading of gasoline into a fill pine. Perhaps we should <br />have the attorney check the wording and make our intentions clear. <br />'.?cNulty: To get the best effect from floureseent fixtures, they are <br />quite frequently placed ~t about a 15 degree angle. In that position, <br />they tivould be, quite obviously, visible from the street. 1~fould this be <br />non-conformance? <br />Dahlgren: Perhaps we can change the wording so it doesn't restrict the <br />use of flourescent lights. Flourescent lighting is a diffused source of <br />light and not objectionable. <br />i:cAJulty: Under the definition of a ;yard, the set back goes from the <br />property line back to the wall of the principal building and I just wanted <br />to clarify the fact that the pump island will not be construed as being <br />included in this set back. <br />
