"" WI 1'1." ,i;,-) 1 )nu Gail Olson Netlease Systems, Inc. 1918 West County Road C Roseville, MN 55113 t©fP1f Dear Gail: We have received your letter of November 6, 1992, outlining your company's proposal to sell new and used vehicles at the County Road C location. When we had talked previously, your application to the City was for used vehicles only. Since that use was not allowed by the Zoning Code under your existing business arrangement, we removed your Special Use Permit request from the Planning Commission agenda for November 10. If this was unclear, we apologize for the misunderstanding. We will do what we can to keep you moving forward in the City process and to get hearings on your requests as soon as possible. You will note in the sections of the Zoning Code I sent you previously that both new and used vehicle sales are by Special Pennit only in the 1-1 District. This means that you will need to apply to the Planning Commission and City Council for pennission for MAG NET to operate as a new car dealer at your location in Roseville. We will schedule this new request for ß¡e Planning Commission meeting of December 9, 1992, if you are prepared for that meeting. We want to assist you in whatever way we can to help your business contiPue and grow, but we also need to be clear about the process and authority of the City Code. Your previous ~oposal was not allowed by Code at all. With the addition of the MAG NET franchise for ñewêar sales, FLEET SALES SYSTEMS can now apply for a Special Use Permit, but you are not guaranteed that the request will be approved. First, the change in use must confonn to City Code, as noted in the attached Section 11.020 of the Code. As we discussed in our earlier meeting, the Code has a chapter called the "design standards", which addresses the design and appearance of the property. A copy is attached Typical issues that need to be addressed are paving and curbing, landscaping, screening rooftop equipment, and exterior building materials. This means that in changing the use of the property to a new and used vehicle dealer, the City can require you to bring the property into compliance with applicable regulations, including the design standards. It is your responsibility to propose how you will meet these standards, or if not, why not, and what you are willing and able to do to upgrade the property. The City Staff will visit your site and give you a preliminary indication of th~specific issues that might be involved in considering the desigJi 'Standards, but it is still your responsibility to know the Code
