The purpose of this letter is to inform, you of the urgent need for a final, favorable decision in this matter. without Roseville's approval on september 27th, we cannot get state of Minn- esota approval as needed at the state Fire Marshall's scheduled hearing on October ll~ 1993. The state will not meet again after October 11th until November, 1993, after which time construction of this typè becomes prohibitively costly, if not impossible. We originally began discussions with City staff regarding this application in late June, 1993. Our application for a variance prompted a proposed change in City Ordinance to allow these tanks in more areas 0 f Ro sevill e. We have seen our urgency further inc rease'd due to a subsequent Real Estate lease between Reco, Inc. (which owns Minnesota Coaches, Inc. and the adjoining Fruehauf property at 1717 West County Road "C") and Mayflower Contract Se~vices, Inc. Mayflower is leasing vacant space from Reco, Inc. to operate Metro MobilLty vehicles in service to the disabled under a recently awarded contract with the Regional Transit Board. Mayflower is bringing upwards of 200 new jobs to Roseville to fulfill this contract. The lease agreement includes Reco, Inc./Minnesota Coaches, tnc. providing fueling facilities for Mayflower's 75 Metro Mobility vans. Mayflower must be operational by October 1, 1993. Our site plans include both Minnesota Coaches, Inc. and Mayflower vehicles to be served by this single 10,000 gallon above ground tank. Both companies will have their own separately supervised dispensing stations for their exclusive use. The plan makes extensive use of natural and man-made screening for a~sthetic value, as well as concrete barriers, fire suppression, and leak detection systems for safety. The tank itself is double-walled and bullet-proof. city staff members have been directly involved in the entire design process, and are supportive of our application. Please allow us to cut costs, remain competetive, and continue to grow our businesses in Roseville by approving our application promptly. :;;.~:;;/dr ~a.v . Patrick o.
