CHANGES TO NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
(N.E.) .8. Encourage the Anoka-Hennepin and Brooklyn Center School Districts to
work toward a revision of their common boundary or reach an agreement
on some arrangement which would allow students living within a
reasonable distance to attend Brooklyn Center Junior-Senior High
School rather than be transported long distances to schools far from
their neighborhood.
Presently the Brooklyn Center School District is in a period of
declining enrollment and has available facilities to accommodate,
additional students: - high fuel costs and potential oil
shortages make realignment or some other arrangement a more effective
way of dealing with the present situation.
The responsibility of resolving this situation clearly rests with
the respective School Districts and the City should assist in any
way possible.
(S.W.) 3. Reserve the Twin Lake Island and land at the extreme north end of
Twin Lake for recreational use of a water base nature such as boating
(no motors), fishing, picnicking, etc.
(S.W.) 4. As an extension and continuation of the policy established in the 1966
Comprehensive Plan, the City of Brooklyn Center considers the manufacture
of chemical fertilizer (which is a nonconforming use under the City's
Zoning Ordinance) as carried on at the plant located just off Brooklyn
Boulevard next to the Soo Line Railroad, as a use injurious to the
continued health, safety and welfare of the general public, and has
ordered said manufacture of fertilizer to be abated 'and discontinued.
After the phas^_ :!,,t ^f the manufacture of r_hpmical fertilizer. the
City will consider a light industrial or non-retail commercial use
on the property provided proper buffers from the residential neigh-
borhood are maintained.
