Steve Zeece Jr., L and Z Trucks/Equipment was not able to make the meeting but provided the following written comments: I have a prior commitment tomorrow afternoon and cannot attend the meeting but I am very interested in the area developments. In addition to having a commercial business in the designated area I reside on Burke Street (205) which is 1 block away from the Guptil site. I can provide you with some information regarding L-Z Truck Equipment’s future plans or lack thereof and you can make them part of the meeting in my absence. We have enjoyed much success with our Ford Motor Ship Thru contract and have had some overflow parking issues which prompted us to utilize the Minnesota State Fair as an auxiliary parking area. Obviously the land directly north of us which is currently owned by David (Kris) Krengel would seem to be a perfect fit for us. However, his asking price ($300, 000.00) is steep for a parking lot but we don’t want to be shortsighted either and realize that in the long run the entire corner would gain more value with this additional parcel of land added to what we already have. … I am 47 with 3 children (all boys) in Roseville school ages 14, 14 & 11. They all play sports and I volunteer as a baseball manager and as the scheduler for gym time in basketball. I am pretty entrenched in the community and unless someone came up with an offer I could not refuse I plan on continuing to run the business. It is a challenge every day but its fun! So, I will keep all of our options open as things can change quickly. Scott Storlien, resident at 140 N. McCarrons Blvd. commented: Mr. Storlien owns the small single family home that is zoned for business which was bought through a HUD sale. The owner has had difficulty getting financing for improvements since the home is not in compliance with zoning. He would be interested in updating the home and has always thought that the only reuse for the site would be for the adjoining owners for parking. Meeting 3.
