Smith <br />812- 484 -0899 p.5 <br />current code, you. would have to go all the way to the comer of the building and would <br />lose parking ina project that needs as much parking as they can get. It would truly be a <br />hardship for Donatelle's to have to meet the current code requirements. <br />The new owners of Donatelle's are cleaning up the looks of the building. Recently they <br />have painted the outside and are now in the process of putting on a new roof . By putting <br />in the curbs and gutters along the highway and paving the dirt parking area, this will be a <br />positive improvement to their image, while increasing the safety of their patrons. <br />Just as 'um by allowing us to put in these improvements, and granting Donatelle's a <br />variance,. it will allow us to close off an existing access that is somewhat dangerous and <br />very close to the intersection of County Road 11-2 and _Highway 10. Also in closing the <br />existing access,. Minnesota DOT will allow a second access -onto }lghway 10 from the <br />Anthony project. This new ar2-ecs will be further from the intersection and will have a <br />deceleration lane_ This second access from the Autbon property exit onto y Y Pr p�3' will allow more traffic <br />H[ighw$ 10 instead of the exit onto H -2. If the theater project does not <br />get the second exit, then we can be assured that there will be more people using the H -2 <br />exit. <br />We believe that this is.a win win, situation for all parties. This includes the City, <br />Donatelle's, Anthony Properties, and the neighbors who .live south of the project. We are <br />hopefid that the Planning Commission will also see the value of the variance we are <br />requesting, <br />Mr. Ericson, if you need any fiurther information, please feel free to call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Wendell R.
