Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 77018
Applicant: Ronald Jaroscak
• Location: Northeast corner of 62nd and .Camden Avenues North
Request: Preliminary Plat Approval
The applicant proposes the division into -two lots of the corner property which
presently contains a-single family dwelling at the north end at the corner of
Camden Avenue and Camden Court. The new lot meets the ordinance requirement as
to area (10,500 square feet) and the depth (184 feet) exceeds the ordinance
requirements. The width of 74.88 feet is 15.12 feet less than the ordinance
minimum for corner lots. Thus there is also a variance consideration in the
application and a public hearing has been scheduled..
We have reviewed the corner lot with characteristics of this area, and the
proposed width of approximately 75 feet is consistent with the established 75 to
77 foot lot widths for corners in this R-1 zoned neighborhood.
We will be prepared to review this matter in further detail . The appliant pro-
poses to construct a single family home on the newly created lot. -
Approval in addition to acknowledging the' lot width variance would be subject
to the following:
1. Final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. Final plat is subject to the requirements of Chapter 15 of
• the City Ordinances.

Mr. Slaire Tremere
Dire�tor of Planning and Inspection
City iof Brooklyn Center
630L'Shingle Creek Pkwy
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430
Dearl''Mr. Tremere:
This 'lletter and the enclosed personal check for $25 will attempt to conform with
the requests in your letter of May 6, 1977, having to do with Schmitt Music
Centors' plans for the use of the property I am purchasing at 2400 Freeway Blvd.
The Ouilding will consolidate five operations of our company which are now
existing in separate buildings throughout the twin cities:
1. Our piano and organ warehousing and distribution. Keyboard merchandise
tomes from factories (principally in the east) via semi-trailer and will be
elivered to this building for storage until needed by one of our 15 stores.
• he merchandise is then unboxed, checked and made operational in all respects
and subsequently delivered to a particular store or customer.
2. Our Guitar wholesale business. We buy, warehouse and sell Yamaha guitars
for distribution at the wholesale level to our own stores plus other music
stores throughout the country. This operation will occupy part of the
Ouilding.
3. Our Publishing company. We print music to be sung by school and church
dhoirs, and played by school bands and orchestra. Although the printing will
continue to be done elsewhere, the warehousing of the product and the mailing
and distributing of it, plus the editing, will be done in the building.
4. Our School Instrument warehousing and distributing. Essentially the same
operation as the keyboard warehousing, described in Paragraph 1, this
Operation services our 15 stores with school band and orchestral instruments
plus all of their accessories.
5. retail store. We plan on closing the store which presently occupies about
g,000 square feet in Robin Center, Robbinsdale, and incorporating it in this
uiiding. Because the warehousing and distributing operations concentrate
a great deal of merchandise in one place, we feel an opportunity for effective
retailing exists, not at all unlike the philosophy of the building's former
Occupants, although we have no intentions of vacating in the manner in which
• i�hey did. .
Mr. ',Olaire Tremere
Diroptor of Planning and Inspection

I hope this services to answer the basic questions pertaining to our proposed
use !pf the building in question.
