HEARING Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Hearing was Ordinance No. 71 called at 8:00 P,M, to hear all persons resent with regard Amending Ord. to the Proposed amendment to Ordinance 6~, which is No. 6~.: entitled "The Zoning Ordinance of Falcon Heights, related to a comprehensive amendment and rezoning of the Village Amending Ordinance No. 8 originally passed by the Village of Falcon Heights on October 21, 19~.9.~ E,C.Killmer We would like to get this amendment inasmuch as the land 1700 West is getting too high priced for the nursery business and 2 Larpenteur Ave.: am getting too old to run it. It is a nice piece of land and very suitable for what could be on i.t and it will bring you a nice revenue in Falcon Heights. It will be giving you more money than the nursery. I am getting so I cannot run the nursery business so I want to dispose of it. I hope you folk realize that at age 78 I want to quit, but I have been plugging along and I hope you will adopt this amendment. William F, Hueg, This council is aware for at least two and possibly three Asst. Director sessions of the Legislature, the University has requested Institute of Agr- opportunity to purchase a portion of the land, part of iculture - Univ. which belongs to Mr. Killmer, It could be used for class- of Minnesota: room buildings laboratory buildings, additional land area will eventually be necessary. Mr. Ki.llmer's property would give the village additional taxes, and if this is deeded to the University there would be no tax money to it, If we 2219 use this, it will mean more students for shopping, etc, I don't feel in a very strong position to argue that you should not pass this motion for amendment to this Ordinance. I think if I were in Killmer's position, I guess I might get on the impatient side myself, after all, it has been quite a few years pending. I have this opportunity, at least, to forestall or delay action, so the legislature could act or the University could. We have before this legislature a request for the money to purchase this property. We have had some appraisals on it. Nils-ens Do you know the exact number of feet you would purchase on the back of the property? Hueg: I do not, inasmuch as I have no access to those files. It seems to me that to the legislature we are showing a straight line across here (on the map) or an area of about 82 acres, A year ago Dean Berg and I had indicated that we would request this, Nilsens When I go back to the acquisition of private property, the depth the University took along here (Larpenteur Avenue on the map) left a very narrow strip along Larpenteur and it seems to me that a good set of structures could have been built; but now, there is dust a narrow strip left along Larpenteur Avenue. Huegs T don't think there is any magic about that 8~ acres, I think the important thing is we would have a contiguous piece right next door and we would have access by being able to cross over that corner. Nilsen: What all of us would like to see is sough land immediately adjacent to Larpenteur. Actually, prior acquisition has been in3urious. Brought up in our planning years ago, was a proposal for a land switch between the University and private holders. The University owns up to Larpenteur Avenue, and we have talked about switches before. Blacks This Proposed Ordinance 71 is not changing much. It is merely allowing additional usage. Would you care to comment on additional usage that would be allowed? Huegs If someone else were sitting here, they might be very strict about this, My feeling is that if the University wanted this, they could have purchased it before. Killmers The University has interfered with many sales I could have made.
