As you know, we have purchased from Hennepin Count y

This property was advertised for sale by the County Com�is-
sioners and was referred to as Parcel #1. Its legal descrip-
tion i s as fo llows :
"All that par t of' the Southeast Quarter of the
Northeast Quarter � SE 4 of NE 4) oP Section 25,
Tornahip 117, Range 22 described as folloxs :

or lese to the intersection With a line draxn

Thence South along last described parallel line a

-� Containing 10.25 Acres more or less.

�Pe understand that the present zoning of the property
ia "Residential" and that for our purposes it will be necessary
that it be changed to "Industrial". I would like to make
formal application to your Planning Commission for this
change in zoning on the property.
fife understand that you Wish to acquira the north
33 feet of' our property for road purposes. �Ye would be very
glad indeed to work out a deal with you on this .
Our Plant Engineering Department rrill no doubt get
in touch with you in the not too f ar distant f uture on the
question of �rater for the building which, as I understand it,
comes in by a somewhat devious route from the west; we like-
wise have the problem of the sewer line going to the east
from the building into what is commonly kno�n as Highway I.8•
�Pe will Pery much appreciate favorable action by
your Board on these matters.
