<br />Re: JruJianhead Trnck Line Property
<br />1947 West County Road C, Roseville
<br />
<br />Deal' Roger:
<br />
<br />As you will recall, Gary Gandrud and I met with you and Dennis Welsch at the
<br />RosevilIe City Hall on August 28. 1996 concerning the above property, Gary represents
<br />Indianhead. the present owner, and I represent Transport International Pool, Inc. (TIP).
<br />which now occupies the property under a 15 year lease. The Lease allows Indianhead to
<br />remain on part of tbe property for up to 2 years, at which time TIP will occupy 100%.
<br />
<br />TIP has also agreed to buy the property from' Indianhead under a Purchase
<br />Agre,~ment which is to be closed on or before May 1998, subject to certain contingencies:
<br />
<br />It is our understanding that the property is zoned B-4, Retail Office Semce, and
<br />Indianhead has been a legal non.conforming use since the property was rezoned from 1.2
<br />(Gem~ra1 Industrial) to B-4 on August 11, 1986. Our discussions last August focused around
<br />whether or not TIP is entitled to be treated as a continuing legal non-conforming USe.
<br />
<br />We have. undertaken an investigation of Indianhead's use of the property since it was
<br />purchased in 1954 in order to compare it to TIP's use. We requested from lndianhead a
<br />statement of tbe history of its operations, which we eo close together with a copy of TIP's
<br />statement of its operations.
<br />
<br />The two operations appear to be virtually identical in nature. purpose and character.
<br />Both Icompanies are in the business of renting, leasing and selling truck. trailers and, in the
<br />case Ctf Indianhead, tractors as well. Neither operates a motor freight terminal, as defined
<br />
