March 7, 1997 To: The Members of the Elk River City Council Dear Council Members; On March 6 we were informed of a moratorium on new construction in our area. We are currently in the process of planning and design of a new addition to our property that is located at 11061 173rd Avenue NW (behind Bridgeman's). This addition is planned as a permanent, free standing, steel frame, steel building which will match the appearance of the existing structure. The addition will add 5525 square feet of work space and will be positioned on the property in the same approximate area as the planned second building in the original Cody Square design of 1987. This building is being designed to allow immediate city sewer and water hookup when it becomes available. The existing fresh water well is adequate and will be used as a water source until that time. The plan also calls for two holding tanks for gray water and two tanks for waste water and sewage. These tanks will be pumped as needed. When City sewer service is available, the two waste water/sewage collection tanks will be cleaned and converted to gray water collection tanks. In addition, hookup for overhead fire suppression sprinklers will be installed to accommodate immediate fire truck hookup and future city water hookup. • This planned addition to the property is essential for the success of our respective businesses. Both businesses are active in the Elk River Chamber of Commerce and we support several community and youth activities. The inability for us to expand and build our new addition this Summer will severely limit the success of both businesses and the 12 families that are supported by employees of either Deano's or Precision Frame. As active members of the Elk River business community, we respectfully request an exception to the moratorium be granted for us to move ahead with our building plans for this Summer. Respectfully, \\ ichard A. orntson, President Thomas Wistrom, President Precision Frame & Alignment, Inc.
