man to man or zone?

Last week I stopped by to talk with the city administrator to inquire about city codes for coffee roasters, such as, will I need an afterburner. Well I found out that, no, I will not need an afterburner. Although I did find out that downtown Grand Marais is not zoned for wholesale business, and the building I'm looking at is in downtown. So after talking to the city administrator he asked me to write the city a letter stating what it is that I would exactly be doing. I think this zoning policy is to keep out large industrial companies from coming right downtown and doing their thing. So I'm hoping for favor from the city now, that they will review this letter and approve of Fika Coffee Roasters coming to town. I will let you all know more when I know more.
