STOCKNIS <br />ST. PAUL. MN 4841286.. <br />June 29, 1994 <br />City of Little Canada <br />Attn: Joel Hanson <br />Re: Stockness Properties, Inc. <br />Application for Variance <br />Dear Mr. Hanson: <br />Stockness Properties would like the planning commission to consider a material <br />variance for 3065 Spruce St. The City of Little Canada is currently requiring 50% <br />masonry on the exterior of any building constructed on that property. Although we <br />understand the great need to improve the overall aesthetics of Ryan Industrial Park, we <br />believe that the current requirement of 50% masonry is far too stringent and cost - <br />prohibitive for the park at this time. In addition to that, the soils found on the property <br />are not suitable for masonry construction (please see attached report). However, the <br />property will accomodate an engineered steel building because of it's lighter loads. <br />We still desire to put a limited amount of masonry at our office, but we feel 50% <br />masonry is far too much exposure for anyone to experience in this type of soil. I'm sure <br />you will find that the building we are proposing will be a great improvement to the park. <br />Please note that Stockness Properties has an existing building at 190 Ryan Drive <br />that is one of very few in the park that is fully complying with the existing codes and <br />ordinances. <br />Since <br />Dan Stockness <br />Stockness Properties <br />—190 Ryan Drive • Suite C • St. Paul, Minnesota 55117 <br />Page 35 <br />
