Present zoning constitutes severe inequity considering the use
of adjoining Hill 0' Way Manor - Chevy Chase properties. Thy proposed
property division approved will result in larger sized property parcels
than those adjoining - col:z;idering the fact that municipal central system
sewer and water n-w serve the proposed subdivision, there are no negative
health considerations concerned with the proposed development.

Development of the property lends itself to compliment the area
already developed with parcels of like or greater sized 1L s. The natural
drainage of the property similar to the topography of adjacent developed
properties runs towards N. Ferndale Road and/or away from the adjacent developed
properties. Property adjacent and primarily to the South is the present Chicago
Northern Railroad and beyond the Wayzata Country Club golf course. Property
adjacent and to the East is the right-of-way of N. Ferndale Road. A part of the
Eastern portion does require some fill to bring the property back to the natural
level prior to removal of earth utilized primarily for roadbed fill (North
Ferndale) and some sold or utilized in the past years for fill elsewhere.
Photographic documentation is available to demonstrate the natural contours, i.e.,
contour of property prior to right-of-way fill for N. Ferndale Road.
