MAY 28, 02 BOAT ERS 2205 W. CTY RD. C2 ROSEVILLE, MN 55113 PHONE ($) 639 -9000 City of Little Canada, Planning and Council: OUTLET (b5)' it is our intent to lease the old "Grand Furniture Storre, East half of building, at 3180 Country Drive, (000 Carpet is in the west half. ) The ownership, Mr. David Johnson of Crossroads Property Management, is also desirous of us as a long term tennant, along witth my cousins the Hamernicks, of GC0 Carpet. We are now in somewhat of as different sigment of the Marine business than we were when we were Boat & Motor Mart on Rice St. ( I think we were a good neighbor for the City during our 30 year tenure on Rice St. ) We now specialize in boating accessories & Parts, However we still do service aid parts, and new pontoon boat sales, understandably this requires outside parking of boats. It is my understanding that a very recent change in the zonning code would not permit outside display or parking outside. I can understand the City not wanting some of the present type of business in the "Ryan" area to move nortth of the tracks. I do believe we have a unique situation in that the property is East of Country Drive, north of the tracks, but bordered on the north side of the building by the "elevated freeway ". Thus being sort of a wedge stuck into the freeway bank, " all by itself ", sort ofself screened, and visually minimized ! Thus we respectfully request any type of zone or code change that would allow us to operate within the guides ofthe City of Little Canada. Please'note We would fence, berm, scape' or screen whatever is reasonably necessary as to be a good neighbor in the City of Little Canada. Sincerely Yours, ^'? Cum Glenn L. Kloskin, Pres. OVER 55 YEARS OF SERVICE, TRULY "A TRADITION"
