Mr. Kvanbeck does not feel the building will <br />detract from the beauty of the area, but cannot be held responsible <br />for citizens littering. James Refrigeration does require their store <br />managers to keep area policed. James Refrigeration owns the property <br />and building and subleases to Speedy Market.' We were originally into <br />refrigeration. We are trying to approach this project in a straight- <br />forward manner. <br /> <br />Albert Alberts - Pioneer Bldg. - St. Paul - Property in question is zoned <br />UMB which permits retail use. It is not a 24 hour operation. Look <br />at the entire community and the service this may render to the community. <br />There is no service garage involved, only self-service gas pumps. As <br />far as increase in traffic, I don't see any additional threat to the <br />children in the area. This community needs a tax base and more business <br />in this area. <br /> <br />Resident - 15451 Nowthen Blvd. - This is a poor location for a superette. <br />Increase in traffic will be a threat to the children in the area and <br />store operator may police the grounds, but what about the trash in the <br />ditches? <br /> PUBLIC HEARING <br /> C/August 25, 1981 <br /> Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
