INNFirffil Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 March 22, 1994 • Chairman Tveite opened the public hearing. Jerry Gallati, 18738 Queen Street, Elk River, stated he is upset by the rezoning request due to the costs involved. He is opposed to the rezoning. He also commented on the need for the services provided by Custom Motors. Sandra Roy, 28008-152nd Street, Elk River, is opposed to the rezoning. Mr. and Mrs. Roy own Custom Motors and this rezoning and relocation will be economically devastating for them. Mike Boelter, 600 Highway 10, Elk River, is also opposed to the rezoning request. Mr. Boelter stated that in addition to a convenient location for his business, relocating (due to the proposed rezoning request) could increase his time to respond to the requests from the Elk River City Police and the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office. Tom Driessen, 324 Main Street, Elk River, stated that if the proposed rezoning is financially devastating for Custom Motors, the City should not approve the rezoning.

Chairman Tveite asked Mr. & Mrs. Roy if they have located any alternative sites. • Mr. & Mrs. Roy responded they have not.
