City of El.k'River 13065 O~bno Parkway Elk River,:MN 55330 Attn: Joan Schmidt A/4 y 3 I 2005 FIREWORKS LIQUIDATORS, LLC PO Box 56 New AubU11l, WI 54757 May 23, iOP5 '.$ . f , ~..- -J Dear City Council Members, Thank you so much for allowing us to set up a fireworks tent in the Menards parking lot in Elk River. We received your letter and the attached site map marking out the "alternative tent location". We went to the parking lot to mark out the tent and POD location and we found that this alternative location is more congested than the proposed tent site. The proposed tent location was one that was drawn in by Menards Corporate indicating that the proposed tent location would be the best for their deliveries, customer traffic, etc. In addition to the congestion relief, the proposed tent location also offers direct electricity to our tent, eliminating any electrical cords across driveways or walkways. The alternative tent site does not offer electIjcity at all and it would create problems with customers loading their cars with the mulch, rock and other landscaping materials that are stacked next to the curb near the alternative tent location. In short we are asking that the proposed site location be restored for ease of traffic flow, electricity and to appease Menards Corporate while conforming to the wishes of the City of Elk River. To address your concerns of garbage and debris, we are a professional company that takes pride in leaving a property in better condition than when we found it. We set ourselves apart from other tent operations and offer visually appealing tents as well as exceptional tent cleanliness. Our tent operation also complies with every aspect ofNFP A 1124. The tent will be taken down by July8, 2005 per your and Menard's request. Thanks so much for your consideration and I look forward to seeing you at the City Council meeting on June 6, 2005. Best regards, ~~~IV1~h~fY\ Sarah Michielson Office Manager 715-764-2999 715-379-2304
