"...,..w.......v....... <br /> <br />Roseville, Minnesota 55113 <br /> <br />Re: Kath Retail Center <br />Our File No. 1011-19 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Falk: <br /> <br />You have asked me review the Kath construction plans, including <br />that portion of the proposed retail center incorporating a "night <br />watchman residence" and advise you whether or not that night <br />watchman residence comports with Section 8.235 of the City Code, <br />allowing night watchman residences as an accessory use in all <br />business districts. <br /> <br />If the night watchman residence proposed is indeed an bona fide <br />residence for a night watchman, as opposed to an on-site home for <br />the owner of the retail center, it would be permitted under the <br />zoning code. Given the size of the residence (1400 square feet) <br />out of a total 20,000 square foot building, along with the size of <br />the garage for the night watchman residence (866 square feet), it <br />appears that the residence is intended for use by the owner rather <br />than a bona fide night watchman. <br /> <br />I believe it is appropriate for you to require the owner to state <br />in writing the intended use of that residence, including the terms <br />of engagement of the night watchman. That letter should include a <br />general description of the type of person who will be used as the <br />night watchman, the hours of employment of the night watchman and <br />a specific commitment in writing that the owner will not be using <br />it as his/her primary residence. I do not believe the owner can <br />convert this general business zoned property to one where a <br />residence is permitted, merely by calling the owner a night <br />watchman. <br /> <br />.~. <br />
