The building on this property was originally constructed and <br />used continuously since 1973 as a truck terminal. A picture of the building and a Survey <br />are attached. The City staff has been unable to locate the Conditional Use Permit. Under <br />the circumstances, the staff assumes an appropliate permit was issued in 1973 but that it <br />is lost. This Application seeks merely to reaffirm and properly document the use that this <br />Property has had for almost 30 years. <br /> <br />This building was built by Roberts Construction, Inc. in 1973 as a "truck telminal" or <br />"motor freight tem1inal". Roberts built numerous other office warehouse buildings in <br />Roseville at that time. As we understand it, under the zoning code at that time, a special <br />permit (now called Conditional Use Permit) was required for a motor freight terminal. <br /> <br />The building is 50 feet wide with 56 cross dock doors, so it was clearly built as a truck <br />telminal. Because of that fact, the staff assumes it received the special permit needed. <br />Our records reveal that it was in constant use as a truck telminal, although those records <br />do not go back further than 1986. <br /> <br />Several "zoning letters" have been issued over the years which did not cause the issue to <br />be identified earlier. Those state in pertinent part: <br /> <br />Dec. 11, 1986: <br /> <br />"The building and the current uses thereof comply with <br />applicable zoning ordinances and cUlTently meet the <br />requirements of the City of Roseville with respect for <br /> <br />4900 VIKING DRIVE <br />MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55435-5314 <br />TEL: 952.820.1600 <br />FAX: 952.820.1620 <br />http://www.J1orthco.com <br />
