I do appreciate there business as well as Norm's <br />dedication to the neat upkeep of this property. <br />My concern, which is shared with others in our community, is as follows: <br />Norm's is located in a predominately residential area and next to City Hall, parks and walking trails. <br />In typical city planning, this would not be the ideal location for commercial automotive related use, however I do <br />understand that when cities get developed over time there is usually some nonconformity's that occur. <br />I am not opposed the Norm's Business continuing in the current capacity, or even there proposal to build a additional <br />building to store some of their vehicles. <br />I am concerned with the possibility of increasing and or intensifying the automotive use on this site. <br />Please consider long range planning goals of the city. As you know properties eventually change hands, and business <br />plans change over time as well. <br />Please also consider the Little Canada's Architectural Guidlines for commercial bussiness within the city. Requiring all to <br />adhere to these guidlines when building new and retrofitting existing buildings to match will ultimatly improve the quality <br />these properties. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jay Reiling <br />Noel Drive, Little Canada <br />612- 804 -0474 <br />1 <br />
