MSP (Baumgartner - Pickar) To adjpurn the regular meeting at 8:32 P.M. 4 Ayes
Mayor Neisen called the special hearing to consider a rezoning for David Mueller in
conjunction with the issuance of an on and off sale intoxicating liquor license to
Al Stein to order at 8:32 P.M.
"Ex the E 20.41' of the N 40' of the W 165' and Ex
the W 144.59' of the N 590' of Lot 4 Bl 1 Mueller
Addition. To rezone from R3 (multiple dwelling)
to B3 (general business)."
Clerk Zylla read the legal notice and attested to its publication in the New Brighton
Bulletin on August 17th and 24th. He stated legal notices were mailed to affected
property owners on August 17, 1972.
David Mueller, the owner of the property, presented the proposal to the Council. He
declared that previously he had met with Nancy Burmeister and the Industrial Commission
and talked about generating development on his parcel of property. He stated that the
proposal he was presenting tonight called for an off sale liquor store and an on sale
liquor license to be issued in a restaurant, a possible drug store, doctors office and
laundramat. He said that the proposal would be adequately buffered from single family
residences on Longview Drive. He related that the issue of liquor should not be
relevant since the voters solved that question at the polls when they voted for liquor
a number of years ago. He said the property would provide tax money to the Village,
200 full and part time jobs, and create higher property values in the area.
Mr. Schaeffer, an independent real estate appraiser, added that he forsaw no decrease
in property values with the proposal since screening would take care of the residential
area and less noise would be received from Silver Lake Road traffic.
Mr. Mueller stated that no matter what is proposed someone in the Village will be
against it. He said that the Planning Commission has overwhelmingly approved the
proposal.
Crystal Ahlman, real estate agent, stated that every shopping area is a convenience to
the neighborhood and an asset to the community.
Al Stein, liquor license applicant stated that they have no tenants for the development
at the present time, since he can't pin anything down until the Council grants preliminary
approval. He added however, that he does nqt see any problems leasing the property.
Mayor Neisen called for questions from the floor:
Mrs. Thomas Coplin, 5168 Longview:
Q - Mr. Mueller, why not just construct the center on the property that is
currently zoned commercial?
A - The commercial property is too narrow.
Q - Have you checked out other areas?
