April 24 1997 City of Little Canada Planning and Zoning Department Mr. Steve Grittman Northwest Associated Consultants Re: Belland Auto Shop Expansion Project Dear Mr. Grittman: Per our discussion today, please be advised that Belland Auto is requesting to re- approach the City of Little Canada Planning Commission and City Council to hopefully gain a rear property line set -back dimension variance for their existing building and proposed n ew addition. To re -cap the sequence of events over the last few months regarding this proposed project and variance please note the following: After formal review of this variance request by the Planning Commission in the Fall of 1996, the Belland's procured an accurate survey of their existing property indicating the exact location of their present building. It was determined that their existing building is already constructed so that it sits 4.68' from the rear property line. At this time the Bellands canceled the formal council review of this project until additional options were explored for possible adjacent land purchases to allow for new construction. The Bellands have gained the preliminary approval from Burlington Northern to purchase an abutting piece of property which would allow for the new expansion. At this time the Bellands would like to re- approach the Planning Commission and City Council to request the proper rear set -back variance requirement needed for both the existing building as well as the proposed addition. I have enclosed the sketch of the Belland property limits which also shows the proposed property purchase from Burlington Northern and the orientation of the proposed addition within that revised property boundary. After review of this information if you have any immediate questions or concerns, please contact myself or the Bellands immediately. Thank you. Very truly yours, ei-4E;) Steven A.
