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 important, by allowing us top 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 H-2 and Highway 10. Also in closing the <br /> existing access,Afmnesota.DOT will allow a second access_onto HIgh way 10 from the <br /> Anthony project. This new wcesc will be liuthcr from the intersection and will have a <br /> deceleration lane. This second access from the Anthony property will allow more traffic <br /> to exit onto Highway 10 instead of using the exit onto 11-2. 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 /> 410, Donatelle's,Anthony Properties, and the neighbors who live south of ther <br /> hopeful that the Planning Commission will also see the value of the variance We are <br /> requesting. <br /> Mr. Ericson,if you need any further information, please feel free to call me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ,i6)11)1447111 1/6/ 153— <br /> Wendell R.
