The information presented at the nearing of January 21, 1963 dict not differ substantially from that of the hea;:°ing hE Id in 1962 regarding this same area. Although the property owners abutting Silver Lake Read and a numfber of those east of the area i.n question favor rezonirk;- to commercial, many of the residents to the east of this property object to changing the present zoning. 1,,hile it is true tImt traffic has increased on Silver Lake Road because of the recent improvement of the street, this sage condition exists in the Hennepin County portion to the intersection with S.-H. #r8. The classification of the street as a county road, Vnich was known to the property owners, while it offers cartain bar_efits to the residents, also makes • it a potentially heavily traffic ed road iKhdch is also apparent to those who wish to purchase property along the street. r y2- THE VILLAGE HAS INVESTED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE ACQUISITION OF STREET RIGHT OF WAYS AND IN SEWER AND WATER IMPROVEMENTS ON THE BASIS OF RESIDENTIAL LAND USE IN THIS AREA. THE VILLAGE HAS INVESTED IN THE ACQUISITION OF t_AND FOR A NEIGHBOR- HOOD PARK IN THE AREA. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS ACQUIRED A BUILDING SITE IMMEDIATELY NORTII OF THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY ON SILVER LANE FOR A PRIMARY SCHOOL TO SERVE THE ADJACENT AREA BASED ON A RESIDENTIAL LAND USE. RESIDENTS IN THE AREA HAVE BUILT HOMES AND 114PROVED THEIR PROPERTY ASSUMING THAT THE AREA WAS TO DEVELOP AS RESIOENTtAL, WHICH HAD BEEN THE ZONING EVEN PRIOR TO ITS INCORPORATION INTO ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE. REZONING OF THE PROPERTY ON SILVER LAKE ROAD TO COMMERCIAL WOULD SERIOUSLY ENCROACH ON AN AREA WHICH IS RESTRICTED IN SIZE GY THE VILLAGE BOUNDARIES AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS. A COMIAERCIAL ZONING OF THE PROPERTY WOULD REQUIRE A BUFFER ZONE SUCH AS TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ON THE EAST SIDE OF PENROD LANE, THUS FURTHER REDUC114G THE AREA AVAILABLE FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS ENCROACHMENT t7OUlD YMPAiR THE FURTHER DEVELOPkIENT OF THE AREA AND WOULD BRING COMMERCIAL ZONING TO WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL STREET RIGHT 0�l WAY FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY' INSTEAD OF THE PRESENT DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND PARKING AREA OF APACHE PLAZA WHICH NOW SEPARATES THE Tt10 ZONING CATEGORIES.
