Minneapolis, MN 55415

RE: APPLICATION FOR VACATION OF 10TH

STREET NE BY GRACO, INC.

Dear City Clerk:

This letter is in support of the vacation application of Graco, Inc. for the vacation of 10th

Street

NE in Minneapolis. As the owner of an adjacent property, we believe that the vacation of 10th

Street NE will reduce current safety concerns related to public access to the industrial use of

Gracos property, as well as further the redevelopment interest in adjacent properties.

Please include this letter of support with the submissions to the Minneapolis Planning

Commission and Zoning and Planning Committee of the Minneapolis City Council. If you have

any questions or concerns, please contact me at _________________.
