Fax: 612/788-5046 <br /> March 27, 1996 <br /> To: City of St. Anthony City Council <br /> 3301 33rd Avenue N.E. <br /> St. Anthony, IVL1 55.118 <br /> From: Timothy Mezzenga, President <br /> Tracy Printing, Inc. <br /> Subject: Acquisition of City Owned Property <br /> To Expand Tracy Printing Production Facilities <br /> Dear Sirs: <br /> Since 1971, Tracy Printing and its principals have been active participants in the <br /> quality of life in St. Anthony. Tracy Printing, over the past 25 years of its existence has <br /> gro«n from a four person operation in 1971 to a twenty-five person operation in 1996. <br /> Throughout these 25 years, Tracy's customer base has continued to grow by <br /> • performing quality work at a fair price. With the increased customer base, this organization <br /> has needed to expand: <br /> Phase I, 1991: Acquisition of all property at 3813 Chandler Drive. (From body <br /> shop to Production Area. <br /> Phase II, 1995: Enhancement of existing facilities to make present facility more <br /> productive, loading docks and warehouse space for raw materials. <br /> Phase III, 1997: Expand existing production area by building a 35' x 130' single <br /> story, block construction, adjacent to north side of City Maintenance compound. <br /> 1,-n or lei-for Tracy Printing to implement the final phase of its expansion; it is <br /> requesting the City of St. Anthony to sell a parcel of non-revenue land 25' x 220'. The land <br /> in question; resides between the south side of Tracy Printing and the north side of the City- <br /> owned maintenance compound. <br /> Additionally, if the city will sell the land at a fair price, Tracy would also require a <br /> zero-lot land variance to build the aforementioned expansion. Tracy Printing is looking for <br /> no other support from the City. It will seek its own financing through conventional means. <br /> We must expand our current facility. We have explored a second story to existing <br /> facilities but the cost is prohibitive. Our only option to continue servicing our customers <br /> from this location is the addition of Phase III. <br /> Please consider this request to enhance St. Anthony's commercial property base <br /> and permit Tracy Printing its growth. <br /> Please see attached preliminary drawing. <br /> • P,cMt <br /> Timothy Nlezzen;a <br /> President <br /> Tracy Printing, Inc. <br />
