Title Presentation by Cox Insurance, new
owner of 1639 Larpenteur
Submitted By Deborah Jones, Staff Liaison
The City That Soars!
Description Personnel from Cox Insurance of Roseville and their architect will present
preliminary plans for renovation of the former Buck’s Unfinished Furniture site
in 2011-2012.
Background
1639 Larpenteur, a commercial property zoned B-3 and located between Fry St.
and St. Mary’s St., was originally a Robert Hall clothing store, built in 1959. For
many years it housed a Buck’s Unfinished Furniture store. It has been vacant
since early 2010. The property has been purchased by Cox Insurance, a local
family-owned agency that has been in business for 60 years and is presently
located on Fairview Avenue at County Road D in Roseville. The company is
seeking a larger space with more parking than their Roseville site.
The company seeks to do extensive renovation to the existing building, plus an
addition to the front of the building and significant reconfiguration of
landscaping and parking. Preliminary plans have been shown to city staff at
several stages. Great care has been taken to be sure the proposed alterations and
additions are completely within the requirements of the city code.
Cox Insurance has accepted our invitation to present their plan to the Planning
Commission as a way of sharing it with the general community and letting
neighbors know what is going to happen to the site. Permits will be applied for
in the coming weeks, and construction is expected to begin by the end of the
year.
