The neighborhoods, both old and new, <br />have a sense of character that speaks to the residents that live there and the officials that <br />maintain them. One thing that is becoming a growing problem within many suburban <br />areas, like Elk River, is the addition of recreational vehicles and water vessels that are <br />creating clutter and less appealing neighborhoods and streets. Demographically, Elk <br />River has a fairly high median house -hold income which would allow for most households <br />to be in the market for big purchases such as; boats, RVs, ATVs, Jet skis etc. With so <br />many households in the market for large-scale purchases it would be beneficial for the <br />city to think towards the future and provide its residents with a proper storage facility that <br />can house large-scale items. <br />That is why we propose to eventually construct five separate buildings on this <br />property for the purpose of storing recreational vehicles that tenants can access at their <br />convenience. This proposal intends to start with the construction of three separate <br />buildings on the north side of the property, two designated for semi -heated (climate - <br />controlled) storage of approximately 50 degrees during the cold season and the third <br />building intended for cold storage. Building number one will have three walls of concrete <br />and decorative masonry facing the side exposed to highway 10, the south facing wall and <br />the remaining buildings will be composed of color clad metal with highlighted trim and <br />doors. <br />This proposal will aim to please a majority of the themes in the City of Elk River's <br />Comprehensive Plan including; creating and maintaining strong neighborhoods, keeping <br />SHARP & ASSOCIATES <br />LEASING I CONTRACTING STORAGE www.sharp-associates.com <br />
