Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Re; Smith's Bay Marina Conditional Use Permit/Variance <br />1960 Shoreline Drive <br />Our File No. 28/23825 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />This letter is written at the request of Gerald Toberman and <br />Smith's Bay Marina, Inc. {"SBM") to express an objection regarding <br />the City's effort to deny SBM's continued exercise of the condi­ <br />tional use permit -ite une 8, 1987. <br />The conditional use permit, and pertinent ordinances and law, <br />suggest that denial of SBM's permitted commercial use of the pro­ <br />perty is not warranted or supported by legal authority. The City <br />has decided that the June 8, 1987 permit expired or was abandoned <br />by SBM and, therefore, cannot be used in the future. It is further <br />suggested that this property, a former gas station, be used for <br />residential purposes. We respectfully request that the council <br />reconsider its position. <br />The terms set forth in the June 8, 1987 conditional use permit <br />required SBM to exercise its rights under the permit "by applica-^ <br />tion for a permit within one year ... or the permit will expire" <br />(emphasis added). We interpret this language only to require <br />application, within one year, for a building permit. The condi­ <br />tional use permit clearly refers to application for "a permit , and <br />not to renewal of this permit. The requirement to obtain a buil­ <br />ding permit within one year was apparently included as a monitoring <br />device, that provided an overt act to demonstrate SBM's intention <br />ST, PAIIZ.
