A portion of Lot 23, Auditor's Subdivision No. 25, Hennepin County, Minnesota. WHEREAS, the Village Planning Commission by resolution dated June 7, 1965, has recommended denial of this application; and WHEREAS, the Council, pursuant to Resolution No. 65 -98 dated June 21, 1965, has conducted its own extensive investigation of the circum- stances surrounding Application 65040; and WHEREAS, the Council, as a result of this investigation concludes: 1. The establishment of a B -3 district at the point proposed in the application would permit uses, including the proposed automobile dealership and its related uses, which would cause a substantial conflict with the single family residences which have grown up around the site on the South, West, and Northwest. The relatively high degree of personal and automotive activity generally seen in connection with B -3 uses creates noise, exhaust fumes and odors, light glare, and accumulations of debris and waste produced by the type of use. The manifestations of commercial activity detract from the peace and quiet and even the value of the exist- ing ,residential community. The scale and size of commercial buildings and the scale and size of the proposed building, together with the storage of large numbers of automobiles, would tend to decrease the open space and light and air enjoyed by the surrounding single family development. 2. The establishment of a B -3 zone at the proposed site would cause congestion on Osseo Road and reduce the safety of travel on Osseo Road. RESOLUTION NO. 65- 127 I 3. The establishment of a B -3 zone at this point would be contrary to the "Osseo Road Development Goals" adopted by the Council in principle, wherein the Council recognizes the need to preserve the Osseo Road as an arterial roadway and to preserve, so far as reasonably possible, the value, peace and quiet of the existing residential development. 4. The establishment of a retail commercial zone at this point along Osseo Road would be inconsistent with the Council's policy and adopted planning principle of discouraging strip commercial devel- opment along the roadway. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Village of Brooklyn Center, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and upon all of the proceedings conducted with respect to this application, TO DENY APPLICATION NO. 65040 FOR REZONING TO B -3. July 19, 1965 Date Mayor ATTEST: Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Phil Cohen and upon vote being taken thereon, the follow- ing voted in favor thereof: Gordon Erickson, Phil Cohen, John Leary, and Howard Heck, and the following voted against the same: Earl Simons; whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
