As for the outside area I have illustrated on the plot map where I would like <br /> • to build an outdoor RC track, the remainder of the area would be parking lot. <br /> We have no plans for any outdoor storage at this time, the possibility of <br /> outdoor storage is there in the future if we were to develop the shingle <br /> distribution and we would take the appropriate measures that the city <br /> recommends at that time. <br /> I have also been approached by my father who is in the used car business and <br /> asked me if he would be able to use the upper parking lot for a small car lot <br /> which is a permitted use and is a possibility depending on our parking needs <br /> and is a secondary use that is being considered. <br /> We also have plans to redo the landscaping in several areas to improve the <br /> look of the building, we are a company that believes in a professional <br /> appearance. <br /> This is a basic outline to what we are considering with the building. <br /> I have taken the time to review the areas in Elk River that are zoned 11 and <br /> cannot myself see that the amending of the code to include commercial <br /> recreation as a condition use as detrimental to these areas given the fact <br /> that all plans would have to be subject to review by the city on a case by <br /> case basis. <br /> As for the area that we are considering, I have spoken directly to the <br /> neighboring businesses and have gotten a very positive response, the building <br /> that we are considering is 50 feet away from another retail type <br /> establishment, all of our plans with the exception of the RC business fit the <br /> description of what that area is zoned for. The RC cars are quiet, they run <br /> on electric motors andthe majority of the racing will be conducted inside, <br /> there is ample parking available, the back of the lot is adjacent to farm land <br /> that is zoned residential and again given the fact that this is a quiet hobbie <br /> • <br /> and one people usually enjoy watching I don't again see a problem if in the <br /> future the land behind was developed, I use the example of fun city located in <br /> Otsego w3'iich is directly located next to residential with no problems. I have <br /> spoken with and know personnally the owners of Fun City and they have offered <br /> there support in developing the Hobbie and race track. <br /> Than yid <br /> ou for conserin request <br /> Doug Ringold <br /> VP CFO DTR Inc. <br />
