Both <br />of these development projects included proposals to dedicate _ and sell <br />portions of the land to the City for park purposes.

The applicant further <br />states: <br /> <br />"Gerald H. Kaufhold is a resident of Roseville, Minnesota at <br />2096 Fairways Lane. He has conducted a business at 1123 <br />West County Road B for ten years under the name and style <br />of Rose Galleries for the consignment and sale of estate and <br />antique merchandise. <br /> <br />In order to enhance and facilitate his business, when the <br />Lexington School site came on the market for sale in 1986, he <br />became interested in it for a site for a possible new auction <br />house and the space necessary to obtain needed parking for his <br />operation. Currently, many of his customers use the school <br />parking lot as available during his auctions. <br /> <br />After discussions and review with Buetow & Associates, Inc~, <br />and Mr. Tom Dunwell of that firm, along with the Planning <br />and Economic Development Consultants for the City of <br />Roseville, this Application and Preliminary Plat have been filed <br />to divide the property into 12 lots. Lot 1 would remain a <br />public school use with 916 continuing to lease the existing <br />school building. Lots 2 through 11 would be single-family lots <br />and lot 12 would be the land dedication required by ordinance <br />
