O O CITYof ORONO * V • - ' ^ cf Muiiiapal Office Past Office Box 66 CrvfUi IU\, Minaeou 55323-0066 July 26, 1991 Bruce Turner 5159 Main Street Maple Plain, MN 55359 Dear Mr. Turner: This letter is written to confirm the nature of the application you have applied for, as you have noted to the clerical staff that you were not clear as to the type of application you were to submit. The subject property is residential zoned property. There exists on the property a legal non-conforming commercial use for a produce/grocery store use that was to be operated under approved guidelines on a limited basis. The commercial use of the property ceased some time in September of 1990. Your application seeks approval of a new commercial use, a plumbing and electrical retail store, to be operated from the existing building. As I previously noted to you, the commercial use of this property is a non-conforming use. A non-conforming use requires a conditional use permit and because the code specifically does not allow one non-conforming use to change to another non- conforming use, you have also been asked to file a variance application. The fees are as follows: Conditional Use Permit Variance $150.00 50.00 TOTAL FEE $200.00 In that same earlier discussion, I advised you of the difficulty of the City to approve new commercial uses for the residential property. You were advised that it is your responsibility to present your application and that additional supportive written documentation will be necessary. Please note that it is the City staff's responsibility to advise the Planning Commission and Council of the code requirements and the impact of your proposal in relation to pertinent s«sctions of the non- conforming use code sections.
