July 27, 1986 <br />Building Inspector <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 E. Little Canada Rd. <br />Little Canada, Minn. 55117 <br />Dear Sir: <br />JUL 28 '.986 <br />c\-1-(OF <br />LITTLE CANADA <br />After reviewing the minutes of the July 23rd City Council <br />Meeting, I feel compelled to correct many misrepresentations <br />you made about Prescription Landscape. <br />1. Nature of Our Business <br />Even though we use the name Prescription Landscape, we are <br />primarily a lawn maintenance service. Our second Quarter <br />income statement showed landscape revenues of less than 4% of <br />our total. Our landscape service consists of selling trees, <br />shrubs, and other landscape materials to our maintenance <br />customers. We offer this service because we market the <br />concept of total landscape management. We are not in the <br />business of landscape construction, sodding, or soil moving <br />and grading. Our landscape maintenance service is only <br />offered to commercial and multi - housing properties, therefore <br />calls from city council members asking for residential <br />service would be politely declined. <br />2. Use of 102 W. County Road C. <br />Before obtaining a lease from Mr. Frattalone, we thoroughly <br />discussed the scope of our business operation. We let him <br />know that we would not be using this site as" "our business <br />address. Our mailing address is P.O. Box 4641, St. Paul, <br />Minn. 55104, a mail box at the Industrial Station Post <br />Office in St. Paul. Prescription Landscape is run from an <br />office in my home in the Summit- University area of St. Paul. <br />Our use of 102 W. County Road C is strictly for storage of <br />our trucks, trailors, mowing tractors, and other maintenance <br />equipment. We have never, and will never, leave equipment or <br />any other materials in the yard or parking lot at this <br />location. Our only use for the lot is for parking during the <br />day for employees, and to load, unload and turn around our <br />trucks. We do not even keep a dumpster on the site, rather <br />we send a truck to the Twin City Refuse dump station once or <br />twice a week with refuse materials that we have collected <br />from our operations. Also, since our entrance is on the west <br />end of the building, we have absolutely no contact with <br />homeowners living around this site. <br />3. Zoning Requirements <br />As I stated earlier, Mr Frattalone assured me that our <br />business is compatible with the zoning of this property. If <br />we were required to obtain a special use permit, this fact <br />was not explained to us before moving in. <br />19 <br />
