<br /> <br />September 21, 1993 <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Sarkozy, City Manager <br />City of Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, Minnesota 55113 <br /> <br />Re: Request for Special Use Permit at 1975 Oakcrest Avenue <br /> <br />Dear Mayor and Council: <br /> <br />Thank you for considering neighbors' concerns regarding this request. I write this letter as it <br />may not be possible for us to be represented at your meeting on September 27. <br /> <br />Roseville Office Plaza is the three story, class A, multi-tenant office property located directly <br />across the street from 1975 Oakcrest A venue. We are the corporate headquarters for three <br />independent national companies' and three local businesses. Our tenants and their clients often <br />form their perception of Roseville and our businesses from what they see as they approach our <br />property and what they see from our windows. <br /> <br />Over the last few years, you have made decisions that have guided improvement of our <br />immediate area. We appreciate the improvement and encourage your support of continuing <br />upgrade as the area evolves from warehouse/trucking to class A office/retail. <br /> <br />The control over air quality and environmental issues for this project seem dependent on city <br />code and inspection. Our remaining and still primary concern is the unlimited term of a special <br />use permit. The upgrades that Interstate and Boyer are proposing are improvements over <br />existing. However, as Rosedale and its peripherals continue to expand, we do not believe that a <br />truck repair operation will remain appropriate for this area into the future. The unlimitedness of <br />a special use permit would only complicate any future desired change. <br /> <br />Our preference would be that you consider a five year interim use permit with a review before <br />an additional five year permit could be issued. If the proposed upgrades cannot be provided in <br />five years than a maximum of a ten year interim use permit requiring the proposed upgrades <br />together with additional street screening would be the maximum of what we would support. <br /> <br />We appreciate your wanting our input and encourage you to continue your concern for our <br />changing area. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Randall G. Godeke <br />Managing Partner <br /> <br />c: PMC <br /> <br />1970 Oakcrest Ave. · Suite 100 · Roseville, MN 55113 . (612) 639-5700 <br />
