Plannin Of f i� � , g e Hours, April 23, 1986 Page 5 • The additional buildings on the side were built between 1961- 63, with thirty foot ceiling heights. Sperry later added mezzanine levels to expand the f loor area. Sperry's expansian is supposed to be ready by late 1987. Mr. Honchell noted that the vacation of streets will leave the streetlights as their responsibility. Arrangements should be made d.irectly with NSP for their continued use and service. " 8. Pierzina, 297-4663 Brian Pierzina owns a house at 2379 North Victoria, and proposes to put an addition, containing two bedrooms and a living roont, with a full basement on the back of his house. The addition conforms to setback requirements, but the front of the house is currently only twelve feet from Victoria. Thus, a minor variance will have to be processed in order for the building perma.t to be issued to expand this nonconforming strucutre. 9. Knopak, 487-1481 Duane Knopak was back to review his proposal to build a new garage on the north side of his house at the northwest corner of Shryer and Dale Street. He's decided to change the plans to add only an eighteen foot addition to the existing garage, reserving the possibility of splitting off the northerly half Sof the lot at a later point. It appears that the distance from the existing house to Dale Street will require a minor variance. The center line o� Dale Street at this point is forty feet from the right-of- way, so no additional dedication is required. 10. Benson, 542-9907 Jim Benson is a realtor with Benson, Malkerson, and Bradbury, Tnc., a corporate real estate firm. He was in with Matthew Nicoll, Executive Vice-President and General Manager of the Minneapolis Division of Vantage Companies. Vantage is a nationally known real estate investor and developing company, on a par with Trammel Crow Company in terms of stature and capability. They are interested in Roseville, and particularly interested in the Paper Calmenson site. The site has been appraised at $7.9 million. Mr. Nicoll made an offer for the 32.43 acres, approximating $4.53 per square foot. Incredibly, the taxes on the property are $340,000 per year. Craig Waldron recalled that in our first meetings with Frank Collitti, that we had suggested they apply for a tax reduction inasmuch as that tax is based on the value of the buildings when they were being fully u�ilized for an � aut�mated steel fabrication shop. The estimate of land costs, including demolition, would be about $7.9 million, equaling $5.60 per square foot.
