~~ <br />R. J. Stenberg, stated he was opposed to the proposed setback as something that <br />1540 Crawford would detract from property in the area. Pro vision for parking <br />spaoe in the rear would not prevent parking in Pront, he said. <br />Parking at Webers restaurant is done at a time when it is not <br />bothersome, Dr. Stenberg said, and unless a definite guarantee <br />could be given not to build in back of the proposed building, <br />he would be opposed to the proposed setback. <br />H. G. Grant, <br />1546 Crawford .said he wished to go on reoord as favoring the ordinance provid- <br />ing for a 30-foot setback, and asked, "Why not use parking space <br />in Pront as it was planned?" After all, he added, when you <br />build a concrete building it is there to stay. <br />~. J. Lessard, <br />1944 Asbury said he is one of the owners of the L. & L. Appliance store, and <br />having a post office in their building at present, he is familiar <br />with requirements, including setback in the rear needed as a <br />loading dock. Mr. Lessard said if we are going to line up to a <br />30-foot setback, it will make it impossible to put up the build- <br />ing. <br />Bert Persson, asked how it is proposed to use a 30-foot setbaok for parking. <br />1418 Simpson Said with an auto measuring 18 feet in length, it would not take <br />long to fill up. Thing he is interested in, he said,is that the <br />post office comes in there. <br />~`. B. Spindler, stated it was not clear as to what Mr. Rees is asking for. <br />1532 Crawford IInderstands it is proposed to locate building 11.9 feet from <br />the lot line, also that building next to poet office would be <br />a oaPe which would mean more parking. Afraid that would make <br />Crawford a parking area, and that changing the setbaok so as to <br />have a loading platf orm and 14 trucks in there would affect <br />status of their alley. <br />Attorney - (At this point in the hearing, Attorney Graham stated that Mr. <br />Rees is not asking for a building permit so it is not known <br />what kind of building he proposes. He asked fora revised <br />building line, fir. Graham said, and we don't know that he is <br />going to put up a building fora post office. The Council will <br />say the building line will be like Webers or will comply with <br />the 30-foot setback. The Council cannot compel Mr. Rees to put <br />up a building, Attorney Graham said, and we have no assurance <br />the proposed building will house a post office.) <br />Carl Keller stated Rees is requesting a building line for any kind of build- <br />ing he may decide to put up in the future. Thinks would look <br />nicer with buildings moved up, and might result in same kind of <br />parking as on Larpenteur. Aa to a post office, Mr. Keller said <br />no body knows, but that the property should be developed. <br />Don Julen said he agreed with Mr. Keller, and as a tax payer would like <br />to see some eommeroial buildings in there and would rather see <br />these set back in line with lNebers. <br />Bdr. L. H. Winfrey, sai8 if we get the post office there will be 18 carriers and <br />Pres., Falcon Heights three clerks, and that e; 30-foot setback would eliminate <br />Commercial Club chance of their parking in the rear. <br />
