Motion Carried. Mr. Mesenbring reviewed the proceedings of the public hearing held to consider the rezoning of the Apache buffer strip on Silver Lane. Councilman Dougherty inquired whether any other use beside high rise apartments had been proposed. Mr. Mesenbring said that no other proposals were shown. Councilman Springer asked whether the people felt that this was not the proper time to consider the rezoning or were the people opposed to it. Mr. Mesenbring stated that the residents were opposed to any change in zoning. The Council took no action to change the zoning from RI to R2 as requested. The proceedings on the public hearing to rezone the property at 3309 Stinson Boulevard from commercial to R2 was considered. Mr. Mesesbring indicated that the Planning Boards feeling was to maintain a matching zoning with the existinS uses on the Minneapolis side of Stinson Boulevard and that the buffer property be zoned R2. Councilman Springer indicated that the present zoning of 3309 Stinson Boulevard extended the commercial zoning beyond the present zoning on the west side of Stinson Boulevard.

Councilman Springer asked if it was only her intention to carry on her present business at her residence at 3309 Stinson Boulevard and Mr. Amerman replied, yes. The Council discussed the extension of the commercial district beyond the corner property and also the possibility of operating Mrs. Amerman's business as a nonconforming use.
