Mr. Sweeney stated that he and Mrs. Singer did a survey in Golden Valley and that <br />there was no indication that property values had dropped because of the facility <br />there. <br />Mr. Lossen stated that he had bought in the neighborhood because it was zoned R -1, <br />and that he selected that particular area because Mounds View is known for it's <br />zoning, school district, etc. He stated that the property value may not change as <br />far as taxes are concerned but he felt the market value would drop. <br />Donald McDonald, 7825 Gloria Circle stated that he felt the home should be able to <br />go in an area that was already zoned R -4 and that he was not in favor of the home <br />going in at the proposed location. <br />Mr. Kuluvar stated that if the property were rezoned to R -4, it would open things <br />up for others to rezone other areas of Mounds View. <br />Mrs. Schaeffer stated that she felt her property value would drop if the home were <br />put in. <br />Richard Nunn, 7755 Spring Lake Road stated that he had two objections to the home, <br />that one, the traffic in the area would increase, and that he also objected to <br />spot rezoning and that if it was done for one person, it could be done for several. <br />Mrs. Schultz stated that she objected to spot rezoning, and that she had purchased <br />in an R -1 neighborhood. <br />Mr. Elrose stated that he felt there would be an increase in traffic and that the <br />home is located next to a blind S- curve. He also stated the proposed facility is <br />not in line with the City's Comprehensive Plan and that the facility is not in line <br />with the rest of the neighborhood, and that the value of his home would be reduced <br />with the group home next door. He also stated he felt Mrs. Singer would be the one <br />with the burden of proof to prove that home values would not decrease. <br />Mr. Schaffer stated that he felt someone from a real estate agency should make a <br />statement on the property value. <br />Mr. Singer stated that at the Planning Commission meeting someone on the Commission <br />was going to go to the Golden Valley home and check out the neighborhood.
