"..,--'Mr. -Cowan then told the Council it was the unanimous decision of the Board to recommend denial of the request from Mr. Richard Ernst and the American Rockwell Monarch Company to rezone the land American owns east of their present building to accomodate two buildings - the first, an office building and the second, a Country Kitchen restaurant and office building. tie listed the reasons on which the Planning Board based their decision to deny approval of the proposal and told of the opposition which was again voiced by the residents of the area. Mr. Ernst then pointed out how the original proposal had been revised to provide only two driveways and a positioning of the buidings themselves in such a manner as to divert traffic .away from Belden Drive. He said he had the approval of the Ramsey County Highway Department for such curb cuts and was negotiating with the Standard Station for an access road from Silver Lake Road which also met with the highway department 's approval . The developer felt the proposal should be considered a part of the Apache Plaza Shopping Center "neighborhood" rather than that of the residential area across 37th Avenue and contended that the "Apache neighborhood's was one in which there were already many commercial incursions in the original Light Industrial zoning. Mr. Ernst said the restaurant which had evoked the opposition of the residents to the proposal represented only 20% of the project with the remaining 80% devoted to professional office space use.
