APPENDIX TO APPLICA'T'ION FOR TEXT AMENDMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BY EDWARD JABLONSICI AND LITTLE CANADA MINT STORAGE, LLC Edward Jablonski is the manager of the United Mini Storage facility located at 2617 Park Street, Little Canada, MN. The property owner is Little Canada Mini Storage, LLC. This location has been used as aself-storage rental facility for many years, and it is believed that a caretaker's apartment has been a part of the site since the 1980's and perhaps earlier. The area is zoned B-3. The apartment is across the street from residential housing. Earlier this year, following a Fire Marshal's inspection, it was discovered that s no documentation could be located to establish that the premises had ever been approved for residential use. This came as a surprise to the owner of the property and to the manager, who resides there. According to the Ramsey County property tax records, the structures on the property were constructed in 1979 and 1985. The tax records show that the property is classif ed as both commercial and non-homestead residential. The apartment is located on the east end of the main building, facing Park Street, and the company's on-site office is incorporated into the apartment. Being adjacent to a residential neighborhood, the occupant of the apartment has the same access to services appropriate to residential living situations -shops, schools, churches, parks, etc. The apartment is appropriately set back from the street, has off-street parking, is unobtrusive in appearance, and fits in well in the community (it has been occupied by a manager or caretaker for many (presumably more than twenty) years.
