Friday, September 19, 2025 1:23 PM Good afternoon. As a business owner of this city and as a property and sales tax generating business, I think more consideration should be taken in part of the city to these hard working businesses. I know there's 15-20 businesses in violation of your ordinance and I don't have any issues with any of them and I wish the city would leave them alone, if it's not causing burden to public safety. We have removed and done so much to make everything better and very close to compliance, but yet I keep getting more and more costs adding up to appease you all. I did talk with Chad (McChesney cab) and he really doesn't want the fence in back, so I replanned to make a smaller fenced in area to make you happy. I discussed this with Cory Grupa and he seemed to think it was a much better idea. I will not put a fence around our entire property, it won't work for truck deliveries. These full semi trucks with trailers need room to turn and a fence will cause issues. I have yet to be explained on what is happening with this walking trail/bike trail that seems to be making progress and going thru the front of our property. It would be a great idea to maybe have someone from the city inform the businesses in person on the plan. I have already been in discussion with the city of Big Lake in possibly moving the business and building a new structure, I feel we are a very good asset to the city of Elk River, but I'm getting very frustrated with all the updating that needs to be done. I trying to make it simple, but I feel this will never end. Thanks, Troy Friday, September 19, 2025 4:05 PM Troy, The trail is a Sherburne County project. I reached out to them, and they will contact you next week. In the meantime, here is one link to some information on the project and a second link to additional information. Have a great weekend. Thank you, Chris Page 116 of 379
