-5- The president of the restaurant chain said that because his operation would require at least 50 parking places most of the lot with the exception of the front which would be landscaped, would be asphalt. • Mr. Hedlund felt the properties adjacent to the restaurant would probably provide the necessary buffering. In reply to questions from the residents and the Board regarding the odors which might emanate from the building, Mr. Reimer said that there had been no satis- factory filtration system designed but that all appliances within the building were filtered and proper cooking procedures would prevent such problems. Mr. & Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. A lemn, Mr. & Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Tobias, Mrs. Hanson and Mr. Wong, expressed total opposition to the request because it was an incompatible use of the land, would produce noise, glaring lights and odors to annoy the neighborhood, did not provide acceptable buffering, involved an excessive side coverage and would discourage any home buyer purchasing a home on Penrod Lane, which was located next to the access road. Others who spoke against the proposal included Mrs. Grace McGinn, who said she felt the project was not responsible land planning; Mr. Wallace Falldin, 3929 Penrod Lane, who didn't want the smell of french fries and hamburgers added to the odors coming from Happy's Potato Chips and Mr. & Mrs. Robert Sandager, 3905 Penrod Lane who voiced similar sentiments of disapproval. The public hearing closed at 10:40 P.M. Mr. Johnson wondered why more land was not considered to accomodate the restaur- ant. ® Mr. Marks said he like family style restaurants such as Country Kitchen but felt it didn't fit into that particular location in St. Anthony. Many of the board were against setting a precedent for "spot rezoning" and felt the proposal involved bad land usage. Motion by Mr. Cowan, seconded by Mr. Marks to recommend to the Council that the request for rezoning the proposed property from R-1 and R-2 to Commercial for a Country Kitchen restaurant be denied. \Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Mr. Bowerman, seconded by Mr. Cowan to adjourn at 10:49 P.M. Motion carried. Helen Crowe, Secy. • }
