eoeoath a 7tphoeetezing One. • 5417 BOONE AVENUE N. • SUITE 2 PHONE: (612) 536-0511 NEW HOPE, MN 55428-3614 FAX: (612) 536-0476 May 30, 1995 TO: City of Elk River, Planning Commission I currently operate my upholstery business in New Hope. It is my intention, if approved, to move the business to my home at 13155 183rd Avenue NW in Elk River. My main business consists of residential reupholstery and some small scale commercial reupholstery. I also make custom boat covers, in season. For this I would need to have the customer's boat in my driveway for a day or two while I fit it. Other than that,the business would be completely contained in my garage, with an office in the house. The only machinery needed to run my business are a compressor, industrial sewing machines, a table saw and a band saw. The compressor and sewing machines are used the majority of the time. The saws are only used occasionally, to replace bad parts on the furniture. I plan to keep the compressor in my basement with air lines running up to the garage. I would insulate the garage for energy efficiency, as well as to cut down on any noise. 1111 My existing attached garage is 24'x 24'. I would need to add on to it in order to have enough room to operate. I anticipate an addition that would bring the total square footage up to 1200 sq. ft. There would be no exterior storage of related materials. I do not anticipate much traffic to my home. I plan to make all sales in the customer's home or business. I would also pick up and deliver all the furniture. I would probably have UPS deliveries of fabric and supplies a few times a week. I plan to operate the business with my wife, Cheryl, and probably one other part-time employee. My business hours would be approximately 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. monday through friday, with occasional limited hours on saturdays. At this time, I am not sure if I would need a sign. However, if I did decide to put one up, it would be a small one to let delivery persons know which door to use. It would be under 2' x 2' and would be located near the man door to the garage. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, • Jeff Colbath
