Tom Sauter constructed a 55,140 square foot multi-tenant <br />building in the year 2001. Tom Sauter operates his excavating business, T&G Land Company, <br />from his multi-tenant building and utilizes a significant amount of the permitted outside storage <br />area on the subject property due to the nature of his business. H&L Mesabi is interested in <br />locating in the City of Ramsey and occupying one of Tom Sauter's remaining vacant units. H&L <br />Mesabi Company is a distributor and servicer for large equipment (i.e. snow plow blades, cutting <br />edges) and therefore will require a significant amount of outside storage area. The subject <br />property is approximately 11 acres in size. She explained the City Code states that in the BW - <br />Business Warehouse District, outdoor storage is restricted to 10% of the site area, in this case, <br /> <br />Planning Commission/May 2, 2002 <br /> Page 7 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
