The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the rezoning of the
area known as the Andover Commercial Park and to further discuss
what uses should be allowed in this area. Don Jacobson presented
a draft document entitled Industrial Park (IP) District for
purposes of discussion. This was used as a starting point for
the consideration of permitted uses in the area.

M. R. Olson expressed his opposition to the rezoning at all. He
has owned the property for the past 12 years and when he first
owned it it was General Business. Then the City went and rezoned
the property to General Industrial. He feels the City should
leave it alone. Mr. Olson felt if the zone was changed to other
than industrial, it would be in conflict with the shopping center
to the west on Bunker Lake Boulevard as well as the property just
to the south of this site just inside the Coon Rapids border. He
further felt that the district should allow uses which are job
oriented such as machine shops, manufacturing, etc. He also
expressed his dislike at the City being in competition with the
general public in the development of property. He felt it was
unfair and was very much opposed to it.
The commission advised Mr. Olson that the districts would be
easily distinguishable from the shopping center and would, in
fact, compliment the district rather than be in direct
competition with it.
The discussion then centered around the permitted uses each/felt
should be included and whether the entire 160 acres should be one
zone or two zones with less intense zones along Verdin/Bunker and
Hanson/Bunker and the areas in between carrying a heavier zone.
It was decided tha~ the assistant engineer, planner and zoning
