Planning File 641-71 - Slumberland request for Special Use Permit at 2361 ToH. 36 and amendment to Sectioo 1O~290 of the Village Code Presentation Mr. AvrOl1 Gordon, Attorney representing Slumberland, indicated that Slumberland presently is a long tenn leasee of the office and warehouse space at 2361 West Highway 36 in Roseville~ In conjunction with the warehouse operation, Slumberland would like to ccnduct periodic warehouse sales to the public to sell, discontinued, overstocked or damaged items. The merchandise consists primarily of mattresses and convertible sofas 0 Slurnber1and proposes to conduct such sales out of the warehouse from 12 .. 15 times a year on weekends from approximately 9: 00 A.M ~ to 6: 00 P oM. The property provides parking of approximately SO vehicles. The coIl'pany estimates that there would be a maximun of 5 .. 6 customers in the warehouse or showroom at any given time when a sale is being conducted and does not believe that the traffic flow would be materially effected. The company also believes that such warehouse sales, since they would not be on a continuous or day~to.day basis would 4ave no material effect on the character of the area. There would be no signs or otherfonns of undesirable advertisement of the sale located on the property or building, all the advertising being done by the canpany through other media. Mr. Graham indicated that Section lO,290 of the Roseville Zoning Code currently allows certain uses in light industrial districts by special pennit, such uses including among other things, sales and rental of contractors' equipment, conmercial auto wa-shing, gasoline service station and building materials.

Discussicn Mr. Membrez asked if there would be any used bedding or beds sold at the proposed saleo Mr. Larson, President of Sltlllberland, stated that only new merchandise would be sold. Mrs. Demos felt that the Village has a committment to other retailers in Roseville who have complied with the requirements of the Village Code. She expressed concern over letting another finn come into the Village without fulfilling the requirements, and then undercutting the existing retail outlets. Mr. Edlund indicated that he would be against changing Section 10.290 of the Code because the Village could end up with the warehouses all over the place. Mr. Johnson stated that the change in the code could be made very narrow in its scope to provide the Village CotD'lcil with tight control. Mr. Terrance Quigley of the Deluxe Check Printing finn which has plant across from the Slumberland warehouse, stated that when the site was selected as a plant for Deluxe it was done so with a great deal of care. He indicated that they had no desire to be an obstacle to future business, but that their finn was concerned about any kind of retail operation in the area. I-e stated that it was his opinion that a retail operatim would disrupt their business and that with all the checks that are stored
