Suite 105, White Bear Lake, MN 55110 <br />April 10.2000 <br />Mayor Mike Fahey <br />Little Canada <br />Dear Mayor: <br />1 am wilting this letter to better explain how Northeast Residence has come to this point <br />in the development of the new respite -care home and the need for the requested variance <br />regarding the set back. <br />It is my sincere hope that by Wednesday evening, somehow things would have worked <br />out for us to purchase 5-6 feet of land from the water department. As I write this letter, it <br />is not very hopeftd. <br />First, let me state that prior to purchasing the land in question, Northeast Residence <br />contacted the City of Little Canada to find out if there would be any concerns for the <br />proposed use. <br />During the conversations it was learned that zoning was not a concern but that a <br />conditional use permit would be needed. M no time did Northeast Residence or the City <br />even think to discuss the set back requirements. <br />As a result, we proceeded with our plans and purchased the land with grant monies from <br />the Ramsey County Development Block Grant Program. (We honestly did not think we <br />would have any variance needs.) <br />We had already spent a great deal of time with the design project based. not with the land <br />as much as the need for a very specific floor plan that took into consideration the many <br />things we needed to address. These are numerous, and I will be more than happy to . <br />discuss them with you if you would like. But briefly, we know that office space on the <br />upper level must be located as shown for a number of reasons. We also know that the 2 <br />accessible bedrooms must be next to one another and meet all ADA requirements. <br />We are able to meet all of these needs and be within what we thought was a 10 foot <br />setback. We are within those parameters by 8 inches. (We are 4 feet 4 inches shy of the <br />15 foot setback requirement.) <br />Pawn with outstretch. <br />heeds sisoifyingneed <br />for help. develops= <br />cart!aaendon <br />Anon <br />rot <br />Northeast <br />' <br />Root signifying lame <br />Andshdeer.Theitaer <br />delli‘ <br />thspt itassanon <br />_Waive of growth <br />tbo at <br />Northeast <br />Rwdeaoe, Inc. <br />Phone: (651) 653.0024 Fax: (651) 653 -0183 <br />PAGE 10 <br />
