Yoch <br />syoch®felhaber.com <br />(651) 312 -6040 <br />Reply to St. Paul <br />July 31, 2007 <br />ST. PAUL <br />444 Cedar Street I Suite 2100 <br />St. Paul, MN 55101 -2136 <br />651 222 6321 I Fax 651 222 8905 <br />Sent Via E -mail and U.S. Mail <br />michael.grochala@ci.lino-lakes.mn.us <br />This firm represents Spirit Hills, Inc. regarding the Spirit Hills retail center. We have <br />been informed that the City is unwilling to issue certificates of occupancy for Suites 140 and <br />340 based upon parking concerns. I enclose for your reference a revised July 31, 2007 <br />parking study completed by Traffic Data Inc. demonstrating that such concerns are unfounded. <br />As there is no objective or reasonable basis for refusing to issue a permit, we understand and <br />believe such permits will be issued when requested by my client. <br />If the City is maintaining a position that building permits or certificates of occupancy <br />will not be issued, please inform this office on or before August 3, 2007, so we may begin <br />preparations for a declaratory judgment action seeking a writ of mandamus. <br />I would be pleased to discuss this matter further with you or the City Attorney. <br />Enclosure <br />cc: R.
