residential district surrounded by residential homes except for the Pure Oil station
and apartment building on the east. He stated his client was opposed to the rezoning.
Mr. Allen Hall, 5290 Edgewood inquired as to how far the proposal was from his property.
Clerk Zylla replied, from his north lot line to the south lot line of the proposal
was a distance of 132 feet.
Mr. Ronald Michna, 2427 Clearview, spoke on behalf of the Anchor Ins. He stated it
would help to have more restaurants instead of gas stations in the community. He
stated that there has been no mention of the tax dollars that this development would
generate. Mr. ,Gydesen stated that the Ramsey County Assessor's Office estimated
the taxes from this building at $11,500.00 per year.
Mrs. Barbara Haake, 1740 County Road I, declared that she does not oppose the
development. That the Anchor Inn would be more desirable than some other use for
the property which would probably go multiple since few persons would construct a
home on County Road H2.
Glen Dawson said that people in the area should be concerned about the affect
traffic would have on the school population in the area. Mr. Gydeson replied that

Road and Highway #10, however, the owner decided not to build for him.
Mr. Jack Morgan, 2730 Laport said he would like to speak on behalf of the Anchor Inn.

Mr. Robert Edmond, 2234 Bronson, spoke in favor of the proposal. He said that he and
his family have enjoyed several meals at the Anchor Inn and he agrees that the proposal
will not conflict with the established businesses.
