Council members, I am interested in purchasing the property that is currently for sale at the intersection of Alpine Drive and Ramsey Blvd. It was attached previously to the address 15443 and is now referred to legally as N of NY: of N 1/2 of SW 'A of NW % of Sec 22-32-25 ex Rd , subject to ease of rec as a separate parcel. The property is currently zoned R-1 and does not allow for a structure to be built on any property without a residence attached however, It was applied for to the city and was permitted without a residence. I am a Ramsey resident and currently own a home a couple blocks from this location. I would like to be allowed to purchase this property and because of the special circumstances be allowed to repair the existing structure and utilize it to work on vehicles inside the building. This is not my full time job; I work on vehicles currently out of my home on the side. I would like to be allowed to take the vehicles I'm working on out of the neighborhood I am currently in and put them into the building at the new location. The previous owners must have utilized this 56x54 building as a shop at one point since it set up as one and comes with a hoist in it. I am hoping to be grandfathered in due to the special circumstances attached to this property and it previously being approved as its own parcel without a home on it. If that is not an option, I am hoping to have the council's guidance to approve an acceptable plan so I may utilize the building currently on my property once it is purchased. The closing date for this parcel is set for August 12th or sooner if an agreement can be made with the city for use without a home on the property. This property is 3.2 acres. I realize I would not be allowed to build anything else on this property without a residence. I would simply like to use the building currently on the property and be allowed to make necessary repairs. Thank you for your consideration, Thomas Jorgensen ��y ac) ioJ8
