Re: Dealer License —1926 Shawnee Road
Dear Mr. Lorenzen,
In response to your inquiry about obtaining a dealer license for the sale of used
vehicles for this property, I am writing to clarify the permissible vehicle sales
activities in the I -1 zoning district.
Based on your description of the proposal, it is our understanding that all vehicle
storage will be indoors and sales will be broker /wholesale. While direct sales to the
public may sometimes occur, retail sales are prohibited in I -1 zoning and this should
be only a rare occurrence. Because of the prohibition on retail sales in I -1 zoning, this
operation cannot be conducted as a walk -in retail showroom for sales to the general
public.
Please keep his letter for your records, and direct the dealer license application to me
for the necessary City signature regarding zoning. Thank you and please let me know if
you have any further questions. I can be reached at 651- 675 -5691 or via e -mail at
pdudziak@,cityofeagan.com
Sincerely,
Pamela Dudziak
