Teague <br /> City Planner <br /> ' City of New Brighton <br /> 803 Old Highway 8 NW <br />j New Brighton, MN 55112 <br /> Re: Lakeview Business Center VI <br /> Dear Mr. Teague: <br /> Thank you for your memo of February 5, 1999. Please let me respond with the following: <br /> 1. Lighting: The plans clearly indicate that no building lighting is placed on the north side of the t <br /> Building. Despite safety and security concerns this was purposely eliminated to accommodate <br />!! the Chenowiths' concerns. <br /> 2. Trees on Old Highway 8: It would not be our objective to block Chenowiths' sign and <br /> I modifications can be made to the Landscape Plan to assure this. <br />f <br />E 3. Fencing: While the code allows for up to 8' fences it does not require them Further, Industrial <br /> Equities is understandably hesitant to spend our monies to provide for the privacy the neighbors <br /> are unwilling to pay for. <br /> 4. Sun Blockage: The proposed facility satisfies required setbacks and height limitations. The <br /> property was designed so that the entrance was on the south side of the site, at the Chenowiths' <br />! request, so that the car headlights would not hit their greenhouse and so that truck and car traffic <br />i i would not dis-.arb the traffic flow to there Business. <br />I ? <br />Cary, our legal counsel has advised us that based on his review of your ordinances that our <br /> application meets all the requirements of the code and accordingly we are entitled to a Building <br /> Permit as a matter of law without any conditions. This unwarranted delay has already caused <br /> significant losses in terms of scheduling, delivery and construction timetables. We have clearly tried <br /> to accommodate the Chenowiths' concerns, but each time we attempt to do so, more is expected, or <br /> <br />I I decisions made to accommodate them are second guessed. <br />E <br /> Yours very truly, <br /> /v - <br /> J N.
