.. PLANNING REPORT DATE: 4 November 1987 CASE NUMBER: 1801 APPL ICANT: ---- M.W-.—E�>:i-nger--Trans€er - LOCATION• South of County Road C and • West of the Minnesota Transfer Railroad (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Special Use Permit for Truck Leasing PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The property in question is an area of land consisting of 6 acres which is a part of the larger parcel to the west owned by the Ettinger Transfer and Storage company. Development approval for the expansion and redevelopment of that parcel was processed by the Planning Commission and Council about two ye::.._ ago. At the time of that approval, the 6 acre piece was left undeveloped. 2. You will note from the examination of the attached maps indicating the location of the property, that at one time the parcel in question was occupied by the Magee Leasing Company. There is a 6,000 square foot building on the site not currently in use except for general storage by the Ettinger people. 3. The total Ettinger parcel consisting of the original Briggs Transport piece and the Magee Leasing piece is across County Road C from the Williams Brothers Tank Farm. It is also a short distance southwesterly of Roseville Corporate Plaza, Roseville's largest, newest, and perhaps most successful office and hotel complex. We suggest that, in the long run, the redevelopment of the total parcel will occur with reuses of considerably higher value and land use intensity. It is noteworthy that in this respect, the Standard Oil people to the east are also talking with the City regarding the potential reuse of their property. - 4. On September 2nd Mr. William Bixby, the Chief Executive Office of the Ettinger company, came to visit with the City staff regarding potential use possibilities for the 6 acre parcel in question. The following is a copy of the memo summarizing the results of that meeting: Bill Bixby, CEO of the Ettinger Transfer Company, was in to discuss the possible use of their excess land on the east side contiguous to the tracks on the land south of County Road C. He noted also that the Ettinger people are possibly interested in selling the entire site to an investor and leasing portions of the property back for their purposes. Mr. Bixby said that the budget Rent -a -Truck people are interested in the land, although they could not afford to put in the proper asphalt and curb as required by City ordinance. We suggested th t doin the 'ob half way would probably be difficult to get a g
