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 /> LEAWNG I CDNTRACTINSTORArt <br /> www.,sharp-associates.com <br />
