Legal Notice
Lot 13 and the N 250' of Lot 14, Knollwood Park Addition, R1 (residential) to
R3 (multiple dwelling). Deputy Clerk read legal notice and attested to
publication in the New Brighton Bulletin September 12th and September 19th.
The legal notices were mailed September 13th affecting approximately 19 parcels.
Douglas Johnson presented the proposal on behalf of Odell Peterson. He stated
40 units are already planned for the area and that this additional proposal
would merely add to the one already approved. Proposed roads into the area
were discussed. Mrs. Porter questioned the 16 foot driveway and sewer and
water locations. Mr. Falk requested information on adequate fire protection.
Fire Chief Fagestrom said he needs a 33 foot driveway and hydrants. Mayor
Rustad called for objections. Mrs. Joseph Everts objects. She wants area
to remain residential. Mr. Leroy Vale objects on the same basis. Mr. Francis
Wilcox objects, same basis. Mr. Swen Thelin objects, same basis. Mr. George
Porter objects, same basis. Mr. Bernard Falk objects, same basis. Mrs. Gene
Marti objects, same basis. Mr. Jerry Skelly objects, same basis. Mr. Vale
and Mr. Porter presented petitions against the rezoning. Mrs. Porter said
she was not notified by mail of the rezoning. The validity of the signatures
obtained on the abstract was questioned. Arthur Worcester present owner says
he is in favor. Arnold Peterson said the area is undeveloped at present.
Rezoning seemed the reasonable thing to do. Douglas Johnson says it is merely
an extension of previous rezoning. Mayor Rustad stated hearing was closed.
Councilman Johnson stated he objects. He said this would be general degradation
on single family residences. Councilman Malvin against. He said the people
were not told the facts. Councilman Lang against for same reason and because
the issue is confusing. Mayor Rustad against, encroaching on residential area.
Mayor Rustad then stated emphatically that Mounds View would be open to all
citizens, and that the Council would not tolerate threats about race, creed
or color.

Lang - Aye, Malvin - Aye. Rezoning denied.
