Friends of North Mankato member John Hurd holds up a sign in front of the Tschohl property at the intersection of Lee Boulevard and Lor Ray Drive Wednesday. The North Mankato Planning Commission will hear a request Thursday to rezone the property to accommodate a proposed 28-unit townhome development. The group is hoping to preserve the property and its oak trees as a historical park. Photo by Pat Christman
