November 12, 1999 Ms. Elizabeth Mursko Zoning Administrator Code Enforcement City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Rd. Little Canada, MN 55117 Dear Ms. Mursko 7RANSPORTA71ON SYSTEMS, INC. Thank you very much for spending the time with me on the telephone discussing the zoning problem we currently have with the vacant lot next to our office/warehouse facility located in Little Canada. It came as a total surprise to us when we received notification from our landlord that we must move the trailers that we have parked on the lot next to our Facility. We are currently renting on a month- to-month basis the space on this lot until construction begins to develop the property. We have been totally unaware of the communication that the city has had with Azure Properties going back to January of this year. I am quite frankly very disappointed in Mr. Scheme that he has chosen to wait until this late in the year to notify us of his letter to the city agreeing to move our trailers by the end of this year. Our current lease with Mr. Schuette and Azure Properties expires on December 31, 2000. We have every hope that we can stay in Little Canada when our lease expires. We have made numerous inquiries of businesses in Little Canada to let us park 15 -20 trailers on their property. As of this date, we have had no luck. I would respectfully request the City Council to grant us an extension until our current lease expiration of a variance to the current zoning code. Our trailers are all less than two years old and are not a visual deterioration of the area. We have every hope that the City of Little Canada will understand our dilemma as well share our desire to have Satum Transportation stay long -term in the City. I will await the final decision of the City Council. Sincer P. McMahon esident Page 86 3065 Spruce Street, Suite 103 • St. Paul, 5 • 1 -800- 883 -8864 • FAX 651 -481 -8746
