x~~~ <br />~xe3a problem on Crawf ord, that Weber's Cottage Inn does not fully <br />Cdr. Bifulk (cont'd) use their lot and neither does the National Tea Company, but <br /> that a third business like a Dairy Way will create traffic <br /> problems and unsafe conditions for children. <br />Dr. R. Stenberg, said he is opposed to any business that constitutes a nuisance <br />1540 Crawford Ave. or creates excessive noise. Believes the proposed business <br /> will be very noisy and will be the only place in Falcon Heights <br /> doing business at late hours. It will be difficult, he said, <br /> to put neighborhood children to sleep under resulting conditions. <br /> Also that this type of business will create additional traffic <br /> through the alley where there are garages, and that children <br /> are going to be injured or killed. Pre sent business in the <br /> .he said, does not operate after 6 P.M., except a one-night <br />area <br /> , <br />a week operation by the National Tea Store. As to keeping the <br /> place clean; Stenberg said customers of the Dairy Way will drop <br /> empty ice cream cartons and that the debris will be another <br /> problem, also that sweets and things like that attract rats. <br /> Said he feels the application should be denied. <br />H. Kruglak, said he does not live in the immediate neighborhood, but thinks <br />1511 W. Idaho a Dairy Way would cause much of traffic moving north on Snelling <br /> to swerve to the right with resulting traffic snarls. Did not <br /> think the dropping of cartons and food could be prevented and <br /> that this was certain to attract rate. Also felt a Dairy Way <br /> mould attract an undesirable element tivith every young man who <br /> can drive a car tearing in and out. Does not think Falcon <br /> heights wants this type of business. <br />Frank Spindler said he had no objection to the business, that it pays well <br />1532 Crawford in any part of the U.S. and that he would like to ovum it. <br /> however, stated he could not see why a small building carrying <br /> low taxes should be built on this lot. Believes there should <br /> be a substar_tial building on the property, and that i t appears <br /> Mr. Rees doesn't like our community because he always hands <br /> us a business we don't Like. Spindler referred to a similar <br /> place where he saw two young fellows drive in like they were <br /> going to tear the place apart, then start up and apeed away. <br /> Thste are the kind of customers a Dairy Way is going to attract, <br /> said Spindler, and that it shouldn't be permitted in the neighbor- <br /> hood. <br />Attorney Swenson pointed out that the proposed location of the Dairy Way is <br /> zoned for commercial use and that the owner, Mr. Rees, bought <br /> the property for that purpose. Said there is always opposition <br /> when business property abuts residential, and that the rights <br /> of each should be respected. As for additional traffic, he <br /> said ~Lr. Litsheim would make arrangements to handle this in an <br /> orderly manner by providing a proper entrance and exit. Traffic <br /> conjestion may not be as great as expected, h® said, and that <br /> other similar places do not constitute a traffic hazard. Said <br /> ohildren could be instructed as at present because of Weber's <br /> and the National Tea Store traffic, and expressed doubt that <br /> the danger to children would be greater. As to refuse and <br /> trash; Swenson said much of the material would be iced milk <br /> with receptacles so located that the majority of people would <br /> put cartons in there. Danger from rats will b e kept to a <br /> minimum, Swenson said, as ivlr. Litsheim has given assurance the <br /> premises will be kept clean. Mr. Swenson said h® was in <br /> sympathy with iir. Bifulk who had bought property adjacent to <br />
