Plat No. 50510, Parcel090061to a real estate office for the Frederick Herfurth Real Estate Company. Revisions included the 12 parking spaces requested by the Council, two narrow driveways replacing the present curb cut which the Council had felt was too close to the intersection of 39th and Silver Lake Road and compatible changes in the landscaping. Mrs. Carol Brown, who would serve as manager of the proposed real estate operation as well as Mr. Frederick HeiiL'Lrth, owner of the business, answered questions from the Board and neighbors of the adjoining property regarding their ownership of the land and Mr. Herfurth told the Board that he felt the decision they arrived at should be made on the merits of that particular land use and not on what happened to the adjacent property. Mr. Gordon Hedlund, owner of the property north of the site in question said the Rembrandt Company who had a conditional use permit to erect retirement apartments on the property were operating under an option to buy and were waiting for clear- ance of their FHA loan application by HUS. Opposing the granting of the conditional use permit unless Rembrandt had actually started building were Mrs. George Thompson,3015 39th Avenue N.E. , and Mrs. Chester Nelson, 3916 Macalaster Drive. Mr. Myron ]ludynsky, 3913 Penrod Lane, said he felt the real estate operation was not an objectionable use of the land but was also concerned with the land use of other undeveloped lots along Silver Lake Road. Mr. & Mrs. Frank Holien, former owners who pian to build on the lot to the rear of the land in question, said the landscaping plans for screening the proposed business from their view made the granting of Herfurth's request acceptable to them. The hearing closed at 7:59 P.M.
