Ck. of <br /> <br />ver <br /> <br />November 17, 1997 <br /> <br />Greg Fontaine <br />Dorsey & Whitney, LLP <br />Pillsbury Center South <br />220 South Sixth Street <br />Minneapolis MN 55402-1498 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Fontaine: <br /> <br />This letter is a response to your letter dated October 31, 1997. <br /> <br />I would li~e to begin by clarifying the City's position regarding issuance of a <br />conditional use permit for Cargill's research facility.

As noted in my October 1 letter, <br />an apphcation for a conditional use permit would be considered along with an <br />ordinance amendment establishing a use for "agricultural business". <br /> <br />I don't believe Section 900.40 of the City's Zoning Ordinance applies to any <br />type of proposal north of 165th Avenue.
