-•2- Motion carried. Councilman Sauer arrived at 7:50 P.M. Mr. Gordon Hedlund, 1255 Pike Lake Drive, presented sketches of the two proposals he was making for development of the land he owns across from Apache Plaza. He said he did not intend to develop the top portion along Penrod Lane into residential lots until he knew what disposition would be made of the lower portion along Silver Lake Road. In discussing his application for a public hearing on a conditional use permit to convert the small residence he owns at 3909 Silver Lake Road into a service office building, Mr. Hedlund stated he would specify the use of that house for a contractor's office for himself if a conditional use permit could only be granted for a specific use as stipulated in the ordinance. The City Attorney confirmed that a contractor's office would meet such a criteria. At 8:15 P.M. Mayor Miedtke left the meeting for a short time and before turn- ing the chair over to Councilman Sundland indicated that he felt a public hearing should be held on the request for a conditional use permit for 3909 Silver Lake Road and a rezoning of part of Lot 11, 12 and 13, Block 6, Moundsview Acres, 2nd Addition. for a Country Kitchen Restaurant as contained in the applications from Mr. Hedlund. During the conversations which followed between Mr. Hedlund, the Council and the staff, Councilman Stauffer indicated her concern that there was not contained in • the proposal an adequate buffer area between the proposed commercial and resident- ial development of the tract. Mr. Hedlund reported what a planner had recommended could be done to renovate the house for an office building, repeated his conversations with the Ramsey County Highway Department regarding proposed access to the tract when developed and stated he felt his renovation plan was very similar to that allowed the Herfurth Real Fstate Company on the adjoining property. Mr. Vickrey advised the Council that in granting the conditional use permit for the office -building they might also be granting a variance to the side lot requirements of the City Ordinance. Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded by Councilman Sundland to direct the Planning Board to hold a public hearing on January 21, 1975 on the Hedlund proposal to rezone part of Lots 11, 12, 13, Block 6, Moundsview Acres, 2nd Addition for a Country Kitchen restaurant in accordance with the application.
