D.N.R. CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC. GENERAL CONTRACTORS BUILDERS ' CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS RECEIVED MAY 2 7 1999 City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Rd Little Canada, MN 55117 RE: CUP in Ryan Industrial Park Dear City Administrators, Please find the enclosed site plans and documents as requested for the application for a CUP for our property at 3171 Spruce street. We purchased this property approximately 2 years ago and at that time inherited quite a mess. We have been doing our best to improve the conditions of our site over this 2 year period. We feel our site looks 100% better now than it did 2 years ago. We are still cleaning up after the previous owners and intend to continue to do so until everything is acceptable to us as well as the city. Due to inherited renters and debris this is a slow process. We have added on to the building and have replaced all windows with top of the line modern windows and siding as a result of the addition. All exterior doors have been replaced with commercial grade quality doors. We have also installed all new concrete sidewalks around the building. We have updated, added and replaced all exterior lighting around the perimeter of the building. I met with Gary Wilzbacher the Ramsey Co Crimes Prevention Officer to review our property recently. He stated that what we have done to our site and lighting was one of the best jobs he had reviewed. He stated he would not change anything we had been doing, with the exception of doing a better job of locking the gate! We have invested a great deal of time and money into the appearance of our building and still have a list of things we want to complete. We are in the construction business as our name implies, this really helps in designing a hopefully crime free building and at the same requires a need for outdoor storage. We try very hard not to keep any materials in inventory. It is not cost effective for us to inventory materials that are exposed to the weather. However, we do have small amounts of lumber that ends up in our yard from time to time. We presently have two semi trailers on site and are trying to get rid of one of them. We have three trucks on site that we inherited at the time of purchase and have been told they will be leaving in the near future. We also inherited a couple of cement mixers that should also be leaving in the very near future. Office: 651- 484 -6521 Ryan Page 73 317. Little Canada. LYttnnesota j 117-1083 Fax: 651 -490 -3346
