6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, Minn. 55430 Feb. 9, 1979
Minutes of the NE Neighborhood meeting of 2/8/79 held at B. @.H.8. •
Approximately 30 people present including Von Bergstrom, representing the
petitioner, and Jerry Splinter and Ron Warren of the City.
The first item of discussion was Bergstrom's petition to rezone approximately
8 acres (application #79001) from C2 to R4. The citizens present were
unanimous in their objection to the rezoning. Their arguments were basically
as follows:
The NE neighborhood is currently over balanced with to many multi -unit
dwellings.
It was felt that multi -unit buildings of the density rpoposed or of
greater density as allowed by R4 would seriously affect the realestate
values of the single family homes in the area.
Homes in the area were purchased expecting the C2 use or possibly the
R1 use requesteddtwo years ago. R1 would be the most preferred use, but
C2 would be much preferred over R4.
There would be no benefit to the community from the rezoning. The only benefit
of the change would be to the owner of the property.
The second item of discussion cantered arounfl reviewing the Comprehensive
plan. The group had no recommended changes to make. The only question
that was raised was regarding a possible bike path along the south side of
69th Ave. and the updating of the street itself and the need for additional
right -of -way. This will have to be discussed again in the future when either
of these become a more definite possibility.
The other item discussed was the changing the present #169. The concern
centered around the traffic problems that eight arise. It was hoped that
such a development would not be of the freeway type but more like what
Brooklyn Blvd. is with aceess about every 3 or 4 blocks.
