Public Storage, Inc. <br />I Appletree Square, Suite 1382 • Bloomington, Minnesota 55425 <br />(612) 854.6579 <br />November 3, 1988 <br />Mr. Don Pauley <br />City Clerk/Administrator <br />Mounds View City Hall <br />2401 Highway #10 <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />Dear Mr. Pauley: <br />Last evening, the Planning Conmission denied our application for PUD zoning <br />overlay of the B2 zone, which M & E Realty owns represented by Kraus -Anderson. <br />This denial was based on our request for a variance to the minimum size for a <br />PUD. This site is 4.1 acres, compared to the 5 acres minimum in the zoning <br />code. <br />We request an appeal of the Planning Commission decision to be heard by City <br />Council as soon as possible. <br />We plan to seek additional direction from you on how to solve this technicality <br />of minimum size for a PUD. Our business is operated, marketed and looks like <br />many B2 permitted uses. We know that our project will have minimal impact to <br />City services and will increase your tax base. We plan on providing an <br />irrigated, strong landscape design on our major frontage, County Road I, and <br />our small window of visibility on Highway #10. We are well aware of the <br />importance of curb appeal for the City as well as our prospective clients. <br />Our major hardship is the inference that our site design of many buildings will <br />have to he on individual lots. This is possible only by creating two buildings <br />which do nothing for the City in attempting to get away from the industrial look, <br />or Public Storage in providing a mix of accessible, safe, storage. <br />We will call to set up a meeting with you for the week of November 7-11. Wa <br />look forward to arriving at an equitable solution to our plan submittal issues. <br />Sincerely, <br />PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. <br />Donald Jensen <br />Development Co dinator <br />DJ:jcm <br />cc: Kim Herman - Mounds View <br />Dan Rooney - PSI <br />Tore Wistrom - Kraus -Anderson <br />Fred Sutton - PSI <br />Mike Black - James R.
