<br />3-23-94 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />To: Gary Schmitz <br />Planning Assistant <br />City of Elk River <br /> <br />From: James P. Rossman <br />406 Main st. <br />Elk River, Mn 5330 <br /> <br />Subject: Conditional Use Permit <br />and Administrative Subdivision <br />for my Property at 406 Main st. <br /> <br />Dear Gary: <br /> <br />I would like to clarify a statement that was made in your <br />memorandum to the Planning Commission on 3-22-94 regarding <br />my property. <br /> <br />The shared driveway concept was created so that I would have <br />enough area to comfortably build a 28' wide building towards <br />the front of the lot, instead of building at the rear of the <br />lot with the parking lot in front. I am sorry but I never <br />discussed traffic safety as a purpose for a shared driveway. <br />The property currently has two curb cuts. One curb cut is <br />on the proposed lot and it is well over 24'wide. The other <br />curb cut is on the portion that will remain with the <br />existing building. I have run my business for well over two <br />years from this site and have never had a problem with <br />traffic safety. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />When we approach the City Council on this matter I would <br />like it understood that the Conditional Use Permit was <br />applied for so that I would have more options when the <br />Concept Review Committee reviews my layout for the lot. By <br />no means do I intend to limit the future development of the <br />new lot to only the concept of a shared driveway. We don't <br />know what the future holds for any of us. with this in <br />mind, if I were limited to only a shared driveway, I could <br />be deprived of the rights enjoyed by other property owners <br />in my same district. <br /> <br />I would appreciate it if your staff would recommend approval <br />of the Administrative Subdivision without the requirement of <br />a Conditional Use Permit as a prerequisite for the proposed <br />subdivision. <br /> <br />I would also appreciate it if your recommendation to the <br />City Council stated that if the Concept Review Committee <br />approves a final development plan with a shared driveway, <br />that a Cross Easement Agreement between the two parcels is <br />recorded. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />James P. Rossman <br />
