Findings of Fact for Approval 1) Herod Real Estate LLC owns the property at 2375 Mounds View Boulevard. The site has been used for sale of new and used vehicles and vehicle repair for many years. 2) The property and business operate under a conditional use permit first approved in 1992 and amended in 1994, 1996, and 2010.
