August 28th, 1972.
First ORDER OF Business: Change of Zong on Nickerson Property per
published notice.
Hearing: Local Desidents to wes objected to appartment housing
on ground it would increase number of children in vacinity. Objection
that area is not well drained also mentioned.
It appearea that the contemplated appartment co~ples was to be
on the northern part of the property and was to be primarily for
old people and convelescents.
When the party abjecting to apparment houses~~ was asked what
he would think if a clinic, or an office buildin~ or a bank wen in on
the property east of ~ Evans and North of main he thought that that
would be all right and much better than Appartments.
Motion was made seconded and carried to reccommend to the VIllage
Council that ~flae-~are-e~-ne~-9-e~-B~eek-37-A~~ee~~~-Add~~~e~-~o-~fte
y.:i:xxage-er-Ex.k-R:t-"e~ The North half (330 feet) of Lot 9 of BLock 3, of
Auditors Sub. No.5, in the Village of Elk River and that part of Lot 10
Block 4 of said Auditor's Subdivision No.5 that lies East of Evans, North
of the North line of 3rd street extended East and South of the North line
of said Lot 9 BLock 3 extended West, be re-soned from R-3 to R-4.
Second Order of Business: Change of Zoning on All of Lot 8 and that
part of Lot II of Aud. No. 3 lying North of Meadowvale Road from R-3
and R-4 to I-2.
The only person appearing in opposition to the change was Roger T.
Hanson, the owner of a tract l20 feet wide ~ abutting on the
north siee of Meadowvale Road in said Lot l~, and being 234.85 feet
on the East side and l53 feet on the west side. His objection was
that he did not want to be left with a house in the middle of a I-2
zone, with practically no change for a resale of the house as a
resident or for any other perpose. It appeared that no attempt or
offer to purchase the property by the owner of the property EeX~
asking for the change had been made.
The commission felt that all the property between Meadowvale
and the Railroad would probably be zoned Industrial in the future.
It was moved and seconded XExX and caried that the change be
made as requested subject to a satisfactory agreement between the
Cretex Company and Roger Hanson prior to approval of the change by
the Village Council on Sept. 18th, 1972. (AI Bailey .@bstaining).
SCHOOL VIEW ADDITION:
The question was raised as to whether the owner of School View
Addition was required to give a performance bond to pave the streets in
schoolview Addition. . It was noted that the Township has such an
ordinance. Question was raised as to what the County Requires.
It was felt that no more building permits should be issued until
this question is resolved.
ZONING CHANGES:
It was felt that no more zoning changes would be considered
unless a detailed map of the proposed change accompanied the Request
for the Change.
