Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> January 11, 1999 <br /> Ted Christianson <br /> Adam Smith Co. <br /> 700 Cedar Street, Suite 121 <br /> Alexandria, MN 56308 <br /> Re: 2380 Shadywood Road <br /> Dear Mr. Christianson: <br /> As you are aware,TOLD Development's proposal for a Walgreen's drugstore at the 2380 Shadywood <br /> Road site in Navarre has been withdrawn. We have heard no inklings of any new developers <br /> planning to submit proposals for the property. In the meantime,the City Council has requested that <br /> we contact you regarding the current condition and use of the site. Our concerns are as follows: <br /> 1. The church building continues to be an attractive nuisance, and needs immediate attention <br /> to ensure it remains secure and safe. The Police Department has asked us whether you are <br /> willing to remove it, hence I would appreciate hearing from you as to this possibility. <br /> Perhaps its removal would make the site more marketable. <br /> 2. The site is being used for commercial storage of vehicles and equipment, which is not <br /> allowed except in conjunction with a Permitted (or Conditional)primary use. While we are <br /> concerned about the continued daytime parking of O'Sullivans' employees, a far greater <br /> problem is the apparent use of the site by a local contractor for storage of various mobile <br /> equipment and materials, i.e.: a dump truck, a bucket truck, a 20'trailer, large wood beams, <br /> crane attachments, and a satellite dish. <br /> It appears to us that use of the property is completely uncontrolled at this time. I would appreciate <br /> the opportunity to discuss these problems with you. Please contact me at 612-473-7357,and I would <br /> be pleased to make a site inspection with you to establish a course of action. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Michael P. Gaffron <br /> Senior Planning Coordinator <br /> cc: Lyle Oman, Building Official <br /> Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510 <br />
