-3- <br /> A. The average income in Edina is larger than St. Anthony. We felt it was <br /> feasible to charge $3504550 in Edina, but not feasible for St. Anthony. If <br /> we thought it feasible, we would do it. <br /> • Q. ftr. Rratland e.sked what are the alternatives that �,re available, how about <br /> 4 stories on 4 lots? <br /> A. It would take three more lots and with the additional cost of the lots, we <br /> would have to build higher, and give up landscape room. <br /> Mrs. Ray Hail:, a resident commented: Do we have to come back here every year to <br /> voice our disapproval of these commercial plans, the residents bought their homes <br /> in good faith, and the area should remain residential . <br /> Mr. Ondrey stated that he looks upon his position on the Planning 3oard as one <br /> carrying the responsibility of doing that which is best for the community unless it <br /> is at the serious expense to those immediately involved. He also stated that he <br /> had given this matter a lot of thought, and had learned a lot from the public <br /> hearing, and quite a bit from the experts representing the builder, and I feel I <br /> can take a stand based upon the fact that we have land in that area which is useless <br /> to the community, and one which has been controversial . Certainly the Village is <br /> at a loss for much needed revenue, and I am sure if people in the immediate vicinity <br /> looked at it fairly and wisely they could see that leaving the land as is, adversely <br /> affects the Village as a whole. The building proposed is higher than normal for the <br /> Village, however, in my opinion the use of that land for a nursing home has been <br /> the best proposal presented. Therefore, I think this is a good proposal and I <br /> recommend my colleagues vote in favor of it. <br /> r1ratland : This is not to re-open the public hearing, but is there anyone who <br /> • wishes to speak at this time for or against this proposal ? <br /> Mrs. Stegemeyer: I think it should be noted that of the nine residents within 100 <br /> feet of the proposed structure, three are absentee landlords. <br /> Mrs. Ray Haik: This is a long discussed problem settled over and over for <br /> residential. Ile feel strongly about this land. How many times do we have to come <br /> back? !-le are opposed to special use permits. <br /> Mrs. Lavicky: The meeting at the Community Center in Apache was attended by <br /> residents who were opposed to the structure. <br /> Rratland: A year ago these plans were for a nursing home that was not so high. <br /> A stretch of land on Silver Lake Road is not good residential zoning, or two <br /> family dwelling property. The closeness of Apache and other commercial establish- <br /> ments doesn't make it attractive to people for their personal residence, and <br /> from a traffic point of view, it would be impossible, from that point of view, <br /> I think some type of buffer must exist between Penrod and Silver Lake Road, and <br /> this type of land use makes sense. <br /> Kronk: Over the years, we have discussed this with other planners, but seven <br /> stories is too high. Something residential has to be put in, but 7 stories is too <br /> high. <br /> Ondrey: From what we have been told, we have no reason to believe this would give <br /> • us a substantial increase in traffic, in comparison to the co:rarercial establish- <br /> ments we could have. <br />
