MINNESOTA SOLVENTS & CHEMICALS CORPORATION 2340 ROSE PLACE o ROSEVILLE, MINN. 55113 ® (612) 636-3311 April 17, 1989 The Mayor and City Council City of Roseville Roseville, MN 55113 Mr. Rick Jopke, Planning and Zoning Administrator for the City of Roseville, has suggested that I write to you concerning our application for installation of an ethyl alcohol drying unit. We are a chemical distributor and have been doing business at our Roseville address since early in 1976. It is our plan to add a small building on our present premises to house a dehydrator for the purpose of drying ethyl alcohol. The alcohol would come into our, premises at 95% (1901 proof) and be dried to 100% (2000 proof). This is accomplished in a closed system consisting of only ethyl alcohol and water. The product from this unit is a fuel quality ethanol which we sell to gasahol blenders. This extends the volume of gasoline avail- able in this area while providing the benefits of increased octane value as well as reducing emissions. Since the summer season represents the peak demand for motor fuels, time is of the essence. In addition, supplies of 200' proof fuel grade ethanol may be quite limited this summer driving season since supplies are currently snug. We would be using alcohol derived from locally drown corn to fulfill most of our needs. The availability of this additional alcohol could be the difference between normal supply and expected shortages. Normally hearings by the City Council and Planning Commission would necessitate that we could not install and operate this equipment until possibly August. We respectfully request that we be given a temporary operating permit for this equipment until a permanent permit can be issued. It would be our intent to erect and operate this unit in full compliance with fire and zoning codes. As a corporation we are very pleased with the relationship we have enjoyed with the city of Roseville. Our desire to locate this improvement here is indicative of our intention for future growth in Roseville. Your consideration of this request would be appreciated. Very truly yours, A.G.
