DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP <br /> • MINNEAPOLIS PILLSBURY CENTER SOUTH NEW YORK <br /> WASHINGTON,D.C. 220 SOUTH SIXTH STREET DENVER <br /> LONDON MINNEAPOLIS,MINNESOTA 55402-1498 <br /> SEATTLE <br /> BRUSSELS TELEPHONE: (612) 340-2600 <br /> FARGO <br /> HONG KONG FAx: (612) 340-2868 <br /> DES MOINES BILLINGS <br /> ROCHESTER MISSOULA <br /> COSTA MESA GREAT FALLS <br /> GREGORY A.FONTAINE <br /> (612)340-8729 <br /> November 26, 1997 <br /> Mr. Steve Ach <br /> City Planner <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> P.O. Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> • Re: Notice of Appeal <br /> Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> Pursuant to Section 900.40 of the Zoning Code of the City of Elk River and <br /> Minn. Stat. § 462.357, Cargill, Inc. hereby provides notice of its appeal and/or <br /> variance request ("appeal") of the City's administrative decision, dated October 1, <br /> 1997, denying Cargill's application for a building permit for its proposed research <br /> facility located north of 165th Street at the company's Animal Nutrition Center. <br /> Cargill requests a hearing before the Elk River Board of Adjustments as authorized <br /> by Section 900.40(6) of the Zoning Code and Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd. 6. Cargill <br /> further requests that the appeal be held at a mutually agreed upon time to be <br /> established at least 30 days in advance of the hearing date so that both parties will <br /> have an adequate opportunity to prepare and to accommodate the schedules of all <br /> involved in the process. <br /> Your letter of November 17, 1997 to the undersigned appears to misperceive <br /> the intent of Cargill's research facility proposal. Cargill does not wish to construct <br /> the facility south of 165th Street, and does not intend to seek a conditional use <br /> permit in connection with the research project since it is a permitted use at its <br /> proposed location. <br /> • <br />
