June 29, 2022 <br /> i <br /> Dear City Council, <br /> We purchased the building at 14700 Armstrong Blvd, Ramsey MN, in November of <br /> 2021. It was our intent to operate our business out of this space, as well as lease the <br /> office space out. The types of businesses we were considering leasing the office space to <br /> were an accountant, realtor, small contractor (electrician, hvac), counseling office, or <br /> financial investor. <br /> I <br /> The existing site was owned by an electrical contractor since 1987. The property is <br /> ideally set up for a small contractor or like company. The building has about 1200 square <br /> feet of office space and a 2 car garage. The lot is approximately 1 acre, half of which has <br /> a security fence and rolling gate. 4 <br /> F <br /> Since our purchase of the property, we have learned that the city has changed the zoning <br /> for that area and we would need to apply for an interim use permit. We have also learned <br /> that there are several improvements the city would like to see, with regards to overall <br /> appearance, of this piece of property, ie pave the fenced parking area, refresh the ; <br /> landscaping,plant some trees,move the fence that is on the south end of the property <br /> back a few feet to increase road right of way. <br /> It is our intent to meet the request of the city, to work in compliance, and help improve <br /> the community. The expense of the building and the length of time it is taking to get a <br /> tenant to generate some revenue has set us back some at this point. We wish to work 1= <br /> with the city to get our interim use permit and permission to occupy and run our <br /> businesses here,to generate some revenue, to meet the needs of the city and your request <br /> of the improvements, as well as a time schedule of expectations. <br /> We are seeking this interim use permit under the understanding that a contractor owned E <br /> and operated his business out of here from 1987 until we purchased the property in (` <br /> November of 2021. And because it has been less than 12 months since he operated out of <br /> this property, we hope to continue the same. <br /> We own two companies, Professional Maintenance Services, and Hockerts Commercial <br /> Floor Removal. Both companies are small contractor businesses. Professional <br /> Maintenance Services is a lawn care and snow plowing company. It has been in business <br /> for 25 years. Hockerts Commercial Floor Removal specializes in flooring removal, no <br /> installation. Both companies have enclosed trailers with professional, clean, new <br /> graphics and all equipment will be kept inside. The trailers will be stored in an orderly <br /> fashion. There will not be outdoor storage of materials or any unsightly items. We also <br /> wish to, and need to,rent out the office space to a tenant to make payments on the F <br /> building as well as improvements to the property. <br /> i <br /> i <br /> c <br />
