Ray Krois appeared with preliminary plat for develop- ment of portion of Little Canada Industrial Park into Light Industrial and R -2 areas. Nearby residents Ray Eckstrom, 73 Labore Rd., Carol Tomaszewski, 2872 Jackson, and Marianne Auge, 92 LaBore Rd., appeared and spoke in opposition to plat since density would be too great and would have an ad- verse impact on neighboring residents. Marianne Auge also objected because of the impact of the density on the already overcrowed Little Canada Schools. Bob Carrier, 29 LaBore Rd., suggested city consider purchasing proposed Beam Avenue for park purposes. Planning Commission had previously rejected this idea because proposed park area was too small. Mike Fahey moved to deny preliminary plat on basis that an R -2 proposal is too dense, property is presently R -1, and development of R -2 on Beam Ave. is out of character with surrounding neighborhood. Seconded by Virginia Fisher. Motion defeated: 5 - 3.
