. R & D Sales, Inc. 19277 Vernon St NW Elk River, MN 55330 February 22,1999 Re: Zone change request from Light Industrial (1-1) to Neighborhood Commercial (C-4). R & 0 Sales Inc. has' operated at the existing location for the past 5 years. The existing building is 2,304 square feet. The new proposed addition is not to exceed 5,760 square feet. This final expansion would complete the development of this property. R & D S~les Inc. currently has a retail store front with many wearable items ready for retail sale. Complete with in-house art department and customer service staff we can assist any retail residential area customers. An example of retail. customers would be: bowling teams, softball teams, basketball teams, teachers and anybody looking to purchase clothing. . R & D Sales Inc. also services many of the nearby local business in the City of Elk River. An example would be: Chuba Co., Country Lumber, UPA, Meadowvale School, ISO 728, Neary Mfg, Bilmar Bus Co., Alltool, Timron, E & 0 Tool, but their are so many more, these are the few that are right in our "backyard". R & D Sales Inc. primarily handles many types of clothing and wearables. Many items would be comparable to the clothing that a Dry Cleaning business would handle on a daily basis. In fact one of the local Dry Cleaning business is a long standing current retail customer of ours. R & D Sales Inc. also finds a common comparison in the nature of its business operation to that of a Printing shop. R & D Sales Inc. uses thread instead of ink to create and decorate wearables. A printing shop can produce both large and small orders. Embroidery can also produce orders large or small. R & D Sales never has a minimum quantity on any order. The waste generated with embroidery is only with the thread and light weight backing material used during the decorating process. The printing shops do have toxic inks and solvents to dispose of properly. .
