Paul Dotray is the Managing Director of Vertimag, who have now purchased the "R2E" buildin g, which is north of County Road C at tlle extreme west boundary of the City. This building was built, as you may recall, by M&M Development Company. Vertimag is an electronics firm that is apparently on the leading edge of new technology, which will increase the storage capacity on magnetic tape by ten times. Ultimately the buildir.g may have 500 persons. 'I'heir immediate conce rn is an identification sign on County Road C. We noted that until a public street is brought to the property from the south (to their southeast corner) that a sign at C would seem appropriate. We advised Gordy Beseth to give them a temporary sign permit for a small 3' x 4' sign which formally identified the property, and that they should apply for a variance if they desire a larger sign during the � interim period until the public street it ultimately developed.:to their p rope rty . 8) Minnesota Fede.ral - 489-8041. Duane Miram, from Minnesota Federal, was in to discuss the possible expansion of their drive-in facilities for their ' building north of the shoppin g center at Larpenteur and Lexington. It appeared from the existing site plans that the facilities can be exp•:�nded to the south to include an additional teller, without violating Code requirements. 9) Ficek - 631-1213. Dave Ficek and Norm Wells were in to get additional information regarding the potential movement of Brown Institute to Roseville.

We reviewed the with her indicating potential locations, including ' in the tax increment district. 11) Waylen - 339-8015. Nancy Waylen was in to discuss the possible acquisition of the Last Frontier site for a new restaurant known as Bennigan's. They would propose to buy the land, tear down the building and build two restaurants on this site. Dave Drown informed them of the proposed relocation of the service road that se rves the prop erty, westerly of Snelling Avenue. They apparently are very interested in this property, but indicated the price of the land is a considerable factor. 12) Anderson - 888-3255. John Ande rson has the Jiffy Lube franchise for Minnesota, and was in to discuss the possible construction of a new facility at the McCarron Hills Shopping Center, at the northwest corner of Larpenteur and Rice Street. We discussed development requirements, including the parking ratio of five spaces per thousan d gross. We suggested that if appropriate parking could be retained for the cente r, that a new structure on the land could be contemplated, but it appeared there would not be adequate land for the proposed intent.
