515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />March 11, 1997 <br />Mr. John Shamp <br />Donovan Construction, Inc. <br />53 S. Owasso Blvd. <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />Re: Temporary Office Building <br />Request for One Year Extension for Conditional Use Permit <br />Dear Mr. Shamp: <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />As you know, at the time Donovan Construction made application for a Conditional Use <br />Permit for a temporary office building at 53 S. Owasso Blvd., it was represented to the <br />City that it was the parent company's intention to start construction of an estimated 2,400 <br />square foot permanent office building at 53 S. Owasso Blvd. within one year of obtaining <br />clear title to the property. It was because of the title problem that the temporary office <br />building was necessary. <br />In my letter to you dated March 7, 1997 it was pointed out that the Conditional Use <br />Permit approved by the Council on December 20, 1995 was for a period of one -year. <br />That Permit has now lapsed, and it is necessary that the temporary office building either <br />be removed or Donovan Construction apply for an extension of the CUP. In acting on <br />the CUP application in December of 1995, the Council discussed the fact that they <br />supported the temporary office building at that time in order to give the applicant an <br />opportunity to clear up title problems on the property. However, the Council was not <br />interested in seeing the temporary office building remain on the property long -term. <br />Therefore, in addition to your note requesting extension of the CUP for a period of one <br />year, I would like to further request that you report on the status of title problem for this <br />site, and submit a long -term plan for removal of the temporary office and replacement <br />with a permanent office building. Without this information, City staff will be unable to <br />recommend in favor of the Conditional Use Permit extension you have requested. It is <br />staff's plan to schedule discussion of this matter at the March 26, 1997 Council meeting. <br />Page 13 <br />
