and I will then purchase it and will own it and hire .my own help and
control it.
Orval Fenstad - Could thss building be placed on Lynwood Blvd.?
Francis Broich - No
John Andreasen - Would like to have Hennepin County look at traffic count and ~low.
Last summer count was 7200 cars a day and it has increased since ~hat.
Willard Hillier - Would like it fur~her back from the sidewalk than the proposed
thirty feet.
Francis Broich - This type of business needs traffic.
Donald Ulrick - Feels the: location will hurt the store (Piggly Wig§ly) business as
customers might have difficulty getting into the parking lot; the
Burger Shoppe could be located on Lynwood Blvd. and if present plans
f
for upgrading Lynwood are completed, the location would be much b~ttcr
and all the neighbors would be better satisfied. Village propertI
mi§hr even be available for lease as outdoor pa%lo area.
Note: The map was taped to the wall and
an angle was suggested for the Burger Shoppe and with the Rondorf
Building removed would be a .more attractive site.
Willard Hillier - I would approve the Burger Shoppe in the new proposed site.
George Eu§ster - I like the new location.
Keith Englesby - Hennepin County will develope 110 or 1~ and a study is now
underway to decide which, he will talk to the Henncpin County ,
engineers for a new traffic count and how plans are pro§ressin9.~
Donald Ulrick - The council has pledged to use MSA funds to purchase the Rondocf
Building if the title defects are cleared and then to upgrade LynWood
with 2~'.months of this date.
Francis Broich said he would think over the proposed new site behind the bakery.
The hearing was closed by the acting .mayor at 9:20 P.M.
