30 W. F• SteFnitz, 7.l~91 W• Larpentear, business address 1550 west Larpenteur, stated the Associated investors wished to have Parcel A rezoned to business to enable them to build a one-story California style building to be used for his own office, doc- tbr~s office, and a barber and beauty shop; Parcel B to be used for parking space, and Parcel C to be used for two mul- tiple raw houses housing six families each. Stepnitz stated that if this property were rezoned in this manner the Associa- ted Investors planned to put in a culvert on the west side of Arona to take care of the drainage problem existing there. John Bouthilet, 1517 Idaho, spoke in favor of the rezoning as he thought the purpose for which the zon°.ng is planned would form a proper buffer between the Northez•n States Power sub- station and the residential property, would furnish the vill- age with additional tax base, and the proposed culvert would take care of the drainage problem. Carl Keller, 1319 W. Idaho, also spoke in favor of the rezoning. Opposition to re- Matteson asked if there was any one present who wished to speak zoning in opposition to the rezoning. Mr. Altman, attorney, .stated he represented 31~ property owners living immediately adjacent to the property to be rezoned. These property owners objected to the proposed rezoning on the grounds that at the time they purchased their homes they were told that the property was re- stricted to residential and that they felt a commercial de- velopment of this kind would depreciate the value of their homes. Mr. Altman, therefore, suggested that the petition for rezoning Parcels A and C be denied and that Parcel B be rezoned bo business for parking space only. E. C. Day, 1506 '8r• California, C. H• Thompson, 1507 W. Cali- - forma, and C. L. Hetfield, 1503 W. Californis, stated that at the time they purchased their homes they were told that s some multiple dwellings were considered on Larpenteur but that the remainder of the Northome Addition was restricted to single family residences. They were definitely opposed to the rezoning. H. M• Dunham, 1511 W. Idaho, stated he was opz~osed to the re- zoning and that he did not want any multiple houses or any more business along Arona. About 5 years ago a request was made to the Northome Civic Assn. to build multiple dwelli~ags on Arona Avenue. The request was denied. A•year ago George Sauer, who is connected with Associated Investors, sugges- ted building duplexes along Arona and Dunham told himc~he thought duplexes would be satisfactory. W• C. Groth, 1502 W. California, C. H. Muggenberg, 1512 W• (California, and doe Jorgensen, 1512 W. Idaho, spoke in oppo- sition to the rezoning. Kennet~Z Hanson, 1l~8~ W. California, stated he was not speak- ing for his neighbors but he was sure they wanted some type of development on the property under question and wondered if it would not be possible for the people opposing the rezoning to meet with the petitioners for the rezoning and work out something that would be satisfactory to both
