Re: Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Dear Tom:
During our discussion a couple of weeks ago, I brought up the interest that Enterprise
Rent-A-Car has in building a regional corporate office on Lot 3 Spectrum Business Park in
Eagan. The final draft of documents between Enterprise and my client, Spectrum
Commercial Properties, LLC are now negotiated and ready to be signed.. During these
discussions, Enterprise described a part of their office operation that necessitates a State of
Minnesota Automobile Dealers License.
Enterprise from time to time remarkets a portion of their inventory. They would do
no retail rentals or sales from their proposed new office. They will operate the office like
any other corporate office in Eagan. Within that office, someone will be in charge of
replacing inventory (rental automobiles) with new models. This will be done over the
telephone, at a wholesale level, between other dealers. This in no way will involve the
general public or auctions at the site. It is simply the arranging and consummation of a sale
(usually in bulk - a number of sales).
To obtain this State of Minnesota License, the State requires the local municipalities
"sign off' on the zoning appropriateness of the use. Since we feel that this is not a "land
use" issue since what they are doing in this office is not different than any other business
office where things are bought and sold, we feel that the City could "sign off' on this license.
In order to facilitate our final agreement with Enterprise, we would like an indication from
you that the City of Eagan agrees with us. Signing the attached forms would accomplish this
purpose.
This act of "moving units" occurs only internal to the office building. It does not
involve test drives, members of the public, advertising (either on site or through the media,

print or electronic). Other than the State License it is no different than Blue Cross processing
accounts.
Enterprise operates rental offices throughout the region. They will not rent from this
site or from the Spectrum Commerce Center site where their wholesale vehicles will be
stored. I have looked at the State Automobile Licensing regulations and I cannot specifically
enumerate the exact title of the license that they will be applying for. One look at those
regulations would bring you to the same conclusion. In any event, since the activity is done
inside the office, we respectfully ask that you indicate your approval.
This building opportunity will bring a corporate office to Eagan that will complement
this Business Park zoning and Eagan's tax base. All office activities within the office
building will be like any other business office, human resources, administrative, training,
payroll, marketing, etc. We look forward to finalizing these details and look forward to a
public announcement of this new opportunity at Spectrum Business Park. Thank you.
Sinc rely,
