Steve Grittman City Planner 515 Little Canada Rd. Little Canada, Mn 55117-1600 RE: Property at 3173, 3175, 3177 Spruce Street Dear Mr. Grittman: As per our meeting on August 16, 2004, I am hereby making application for change in the existing CPU for the above referenced property. As we discussed and agreed that the existing conditional use permit as is written makes it inefficient and cumbersome for me as a property owner and also for city staff. As per the planning report dated March 23, 2000, which I believe is a representation of the current CPU; Since I have not had the privilege of inspecting the completed signed CPU, I will use this as a reference in my requests herein. The items that were either recommendations or code compliance issues that were required to be completed no latter than August 1, 2000, were still existing on the property when I purchased it July 2, 2003. Since our purchase of the property we have: • Resided the building. • Installed all new windows. • Installed all new doors. • Installed all new garage doors. • Installed new air conditioning units. • Installed new signage. • Installed new lighting in front and rear. • Repainted the entire building top to bottom. • Installed new asphalt front and in rear of building. • Redesigned the parking lotto facilitate 32 parking spaces including handicapped above and beyond the original 26 required spaces. • Properly striped and marked the parking lot. • 'l'ore out all old landscaping and sodded areas, brought in new quality fill to create burmed and landscaped area along the front of the property. • Installed new shrubbery, sod and landscape boulders. • Installed underground sprinkling system in landscaped area. • Installed new mailboxes.
