The property would be <br /> replatted as Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, Apache Terrace 2nd Addition, Ramsey County, Minnesota. <br /> . Since the size of the lot on which the industrial building is located would be reduced;.a question <br /> arises as to whether the lot would have sufficient parking. Currently the owner of the industrial building <br /> leases a strip of land approximately 67 feet wide from the railroad. This adjoins the north lot line and <br /> provides additional parking for the industrial building. The owner originally requested that the City <br /> permit him to include the leased land as part of the property so as to meet the parking requirement.

We suggested to him that it is unlikely that a variance would be <br />
