Purpose: To consider the application of
Irving H. Tauer to enlarge his

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED TAXPAYERS, RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE DENIAL OF THIS
APPLICATION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The excessive speed of some of the patrons of this drive-in
has created a real hazard - not only to other drivers but to
pedestrians and certainly to children in this area.
2. The noise, with disregard for the residents, that is made
into the night, as well as the dust clouds from the use of
the unkept alley.

Reference is made to your postal notice file 14049 dated
March 31, 1958, directing attention to a hearing before the City Council
set for 10:00 AM on April 10th to consider the application of Irving H.
Tauer to enlarge his existing drive-in parking lot at 1321-1331 Arcade
Street by adding parking space for 2L additional cars,
My home is at 781 East Ivy Avenue, which is a part of the
A Evanson Addition, which includes the above mentioned property. I have
two lots facing Ivy (back of this drive-in) and which would have been
desirable home lots. Several prospects have made inquiry regarding these
lots, but they immediately lose interest when they discover the drive-in.
In view of the above, I not only feel real strongly that
a business of this kind depreciates the value of surrounding property,
but it certainly is a hazard for both pedestrains and drivers coming in
off of Arcade or going onto Arcade.
In all sincerety, I ask that this application be turned
down.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your postal notice file 14049
dated March 31, 1958, directing attention to a hearing before the
City Council set for 10:00 AM on April 10th to consider the appli-
cation by Irving H. Tauer to enlarge his existing drive-in parking
lot at 1321-1331 Arcade Street by adding parking space for 24
additional cars.
My home is located on lots adjacent to the north and
adjacent to Mr. Tauer's original property, and it is necessary for
me to drive my car through the alley behind Mr. Tauer's property to
get out on the highway. Incidentally Mr. Tauer's patrons use this
same alley as an exit.
I do believe some action should be taken to control
the speed in the alley as a considerable number of cars drive out at
excessive speed creating terrific dust clouds as well as being a
traffic hazard.
It would be my suggestion that signs be posted along
the alley in an effort to reduce the speeds of departing patrons who
leave through the alley.
Yours truly,
1345 Arcade Street
St. Paul, Minnesota

Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of' the application of Irvine H. Tauer for a permit to
enlarge and reconstruct a drive-in refreshment stand on the property Located
adjacent to the northwest corner of Arcade and Ivy. This property is described
as the south of Lot 2, and all of Lots 3 to 6 inclusive, Evanston Addition.
This property is and has been zoned `/Commercial" since the adoption of the
Zoning Ordinance in 1922.
The property under consideration has a frontage of 199.5' on Arcade and extends
westerly 125' to an ungraded 20' alley. A drive-in refreshment stand has been
operating on the north LLO' of this property under a city council permit granted
in 1950. The remainder of the property was used for a filling station for many
years and more recently has been used for the sale of minnows.
The applicant proposes to remove the filling station structure, increase the
size of the present root beer stand and increase the off-street parking capacity
from 29 to 51 cars.
The adjacent land uses are as follows: east across Arcade Street are a filling
station and four single family homes; south across Ivy are two single family
homes facing Ivy Street; north is a single family home facing Arcade, and west
across an_ alley is vacant property, diagonally across Arcade is the Farnsworth
public grade school.
Plans submitted by the applicant show that access to this property will be from
two driveways on Arcade. Consequently there will be no access to the alley on
the west or to Ivy Street. In addition, the applicant is providing a buffer area
on the west and north,which will be planted with poplar trees, in order to pre-
serve and protect the residential character of the property to the north and the
future residential land uses to the west. The lighting of this facility in the
evening will be from four lights located at the corners of the applicant' s pro-
perty and shaded so that the lights will not shine beyond applicant' s property.
The proposed Layout and operation has been approved by the Traffic Engineer.
Field investigation discloses no basic objection. The west side of Arcade Street
between Ivy and Wheelock Parkway, except for two residences, is completely de-
veloped with commercial activities. The plans comply with existing standards
for this type of facility.
In consideration of these factors, the Zoning Board recommends this permit be
granted in accordance with plans approved March 10, 1958.
Sincerely,
