<br />Re: Jndianhead Truck Line Prop~rty
<br />1947 West County Road C, RoseviUe
<br />
<br />Dear Roger:
<br />
<br />A5 you will recall, Gary Gandrud and I met with you and Dennis Welsch at tbe
<br />RosevilIe City Hall on August 28, 1996 C;ODCerIDng 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 />Agreement which is to be dosed 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 />(General Industrial) to B4 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 Indianbead's use of the property since it was
<br />purchased in 1954 in order to compare it to TIP's use. We requested from Indianhead a
<br />statement of the history of its operations, which we eoc1ose 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 companies arc in the business of renting, leasing and selling truck- trailers and, in the
<br />case of Indianhead, tractors as wen. Neither operates a motor freight terminal, as defined
<br />
