-2- 3. Appeal by Glen Wheeler from the denial of a permit for an Eight unit Apartment Building on. Lots 13 $ 14, Block 2 , Village iter of Windsor (First Street) . Permit denied for the reason that it is single family residentially zoned. ir. Wheeler stated that the circumstances of the second appeal were identical to those of the first. He mentioned that other multi-family units exist nearby, and that building up the elevation of the lots , which are comparatively low, would cause the water that now collects on them to run off. OPPOSED: Andrew Quam said the street "was not a place for it" ; that the street is not adequate , that there is no police pro- tection in Windsor, and that congestion would result, as well as an adverse effect upon his property. He stated that he had seen "water come down the street", that cars are parked in the street in an obstructive way, and that he wants to live in a rural community with peace and quiet. Mrs. Andrew Quam supported these views. Dick Ramminger said that the water does run on both sides of the street, and that building up the land elevation elsewhere would aggravate his own water problem. Russell Nelson said that a bad drainage problem does exist , and pointed out that playgrounds would be needed for the additional children. Others opposed and generally in accord with the preceding were: Solfest Kilen, Mrs. Palmer Fremo and Bert Quamme and Merlin Gasser of the Windsor Town Board. With no objection from anyone preset , the following communications expressing opposition to both petitions of Glen Nor Wheeler were taken note of by the board: 1. Letter signed by Mr. Elvred Mielke, Mrs. Elvred Mielde, and Mrs. Alma Hendricks. 2. Letter signed by Mrs. Marie Dahle. 3. Telephone call from Leroy Haug, received by Millard Erickson. OTHERS: None. REBUTTAL IN FAVOR; Glen Wheeler made the following points of argument: 1. Parking problems that now exist are caused by existing units that lack provision for sufficient off street parking space. His buildings would provide 1 1/2 parking spaces per unit , as required by the zoning ordinance. 2. There would be no difference in water drainage between a lot built up for an apartment building and one built up for a single family residence. REBUTTAL IN OPPOSITION: Andrew Quam reiterated his opposition. Some mixed discussion ensued, with no change in the positions of the respective parties. OTHERS: None. 4. Appeal by Aaron H. Neumaier from the denial of a permit for a Garage on Lot 12 , St. Dominic's Subdivision, Town of Roxbury (St. Dominic Street) . Permit denied for the reason that the south side yard is less than ordinance requirements. low
