F rom-PETER$O~I FRAIl <br /> <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br /> BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION <br />REGARDING REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br /> <br /> T&G Land Company, an affiliate of Sauter & Sons, Inc. purchased a 10 <br />acre parcel of land from the City of Ramsey in connection with the relocation of <br />Sauter and Sons and the redevelopment of booth the new 10 acre parcel and the <br />location formerly occupied by Sauter & Sons. T&G has constructed a multi- <br />tenant office warehouse building containing 55,140 square feet. The silo Plan <br />approved locates the building close to 141s~ Avenue to maximize the pod:ion of <br />the property which can be used for contiguous outside parking and .storage and <br />screen the outside storage and parking area. <br /> <br /> TO date the building has been 71% leased, With a lease pending With 'H&L <br />Mesabi for much of the remaining space, The tenants include SaUter & Sons, an <br />excavating company which requires outside parking of licensed and unlicensed <br />vehicles, and heavy equipment as well as temporary storage of soils and L.I.W.F., <br />Inc. which requires outside storage for metal stock which it uses in fabrication of <br />its products. <br /> <br /> Attached is a brief profile of H&L Mesabi. H&L Mesabi is a distributor <br />and servicer of both mining and general line equipment'and parts. Some of this <br />equipment is large and requires outside storage. It is alt new or used equipment <br />in operating condition which is being sold in the course of H&L Mesabi's <br />business, The ability of H&L Mesabi to relocate to the property and the City' of <br />Ramsey is dependent upon the availability of adequate outside storage, <br /> <br /> The combined needs of the existing and prospective tenants for outside <br />storage exceeds the one acre which is available as a permitted use and requires a <br />conditional use permit. The property is well laid out and screened for the <br />requested conditional use. The use is compatible with adjacent uses, In fact the <br />asphalt plant across the street utilizes equipment of'the type distributed by H&L <br />Mesabi. The site plan which was approved by the City of Ramsey and constructed <br />by T&G designated outside storage areas larger than one acre,' 'T&G has made 'a <br />very substantial investment in a high quality building. It wfll not allow the storage <br />of iunk, debris and inoperable equipment which would detract from the value of <br />its investment, but does require additional outside storage to meet the legitimate <br />operating needs of its tenants. <br /> <br />55 <br /> <br /> <br />
