<br />Station permit if they wished to be heard, Mrs. William Mock, 1397 Meat Larpenteur
<br /> presented a petition dated May 11, 1953, which she eaid was signed
<br />Mrs. Mock by residents of Falcon Heights who are opposed to the installation
<br /> of a service station on Kelley's property at the northwest corner
<br /> of Elbert and Larpenteur. Mr. H. H. Cowie, Attorney, stated he
<br />Attorney represented Mrs. Mock and her neighbors in the matter. Mr. Cowie
<br />Cowie said that the character of the neighborhood in which it is proposed
<br /> to build the Shell Oil Company service station, has changed consider-
<br /> ably since the Keller property was zoned commercial in 1941. Referr-
<br /> ing to the petition, Mr. Cowie said it was signed by about 75 home
<br /> owners. He asked that the council reopen the matter of authorising
<br /> issuance of the permit and that a date be set for a hearing on the
<br />Mrs. Mock petition. Mrs. ldock stated she did not see why the Shell Oil Company
<br /> wished to locate there when the people are opposed to it, and mentioned
<br /> that in her opinion the station would create traff%c ~azards fpr
<br /> ohildren on their way to and from school. Dr. D.E. McCoy, 1749 Iv'.
<br />Dr. McCoy Albert, said he has resided at his present address since last fall,
<br /> that he realized that the property on the northwest corner of Larpenteur
<br /> and Albert was zoned for business, but that recent construction of a
<br /> school in the area makes traffic resulting from erection of a.service
<br /> station on this corner of serious concern. Dr. McCoy urged the council
<br /> to consider rezoning the Keller property, stating that a service
<br /> station in this location would alter the character of the neighborhood.
<br />Mr. ;dock ldr. t'Pilliam Mock, 1397 West Larpenteur, said the Keller building was
<br /> originally built as a home and later used as a home and store with
<br /> gas pumps.
