I have been working in the field for the past 15 years and <br />currently commute to Hopkins for work. I would like to bring my expertise and devotion to quality <br />auto repairs to the Elk River community. <br />I believe that my vision for this small business is consistent with the City of Elk River <br />Comprehensive Plan. I am proud to be a part of the Elk River community and take ownership <br />and pride in protecting the historic, small town feel of our city. Having a locally run, small auto <br />repair shop that community members can receive services from allows for that small town feel <br />that the Elk River strives for. Members of our community can come to a trustworthy, quality auto <br />shop and know that they are getting the best service. I strive to develop relationships with my <br />customers that leave them feeling confident and comfortable with the work that is being done on <br />their car. I recognize that creating and maintaining strong neighborhoods is important to the city <br />of Elk River. This auto repair shop will not interfere with the aesthetics and function of the city. <br />My property is outside of a residential neighborhood and has a long driveway down to the shop. <br />Parking of cars waiting to be worked on will be done with care and in designated spots. There <br />will be a limited number of cars on site at any given time as work will be completed by <br />appointments. Keeping Elk River a safe place to live includes ensuring that vehicles are <br />receiving proper maintenance and repairs. I take pride in my attention to detail and safety when <br />diagnosing and repairing vehicles. This is a huge responsibility and one that I do not take lightly. <br />All work that I complete for my shop will follow best practices for environmental protection. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this conditional use permit. I believe that this auto repair <br />shop would be a great addition to Elk River and I look forward to serving our community. <br />Hours of Operation <br />Hours of operation would be Monday -Thursday 9am-5pm, Friday 9am-3pm, and Saturday by <br />appointment only. <br />Number of Employees <br />I would be the only employee of this auto repair shop. <br />Number of parking stalls, existing and additional <br />
