From: Brett Foss To: Elena Fransen Cc: Jessica Jaaoe Subject: Re: PC 25-005 Land Use Application Status Update Date: Monday, July 21, 2025 7:13:10 AM Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. Senior Life Management as a whole utilizes employess that are also part of the store. Some of the staff whom work at the store are also employess who help sort and pack on site for clients. The moving side has minimal staff that are on site at the Arden Hills location. There may be a total of five people meeting in the morning to discuss where the job location may be and or to get situated for the project and then leave site for the location. The majority of times staff just drive to the location and do not even meet at Arden Hills. So maybe a couple days kf flie week the staff of less than 5 meet on site. The brokerage side is mostly remote. Staff works 90 percent remotely and maybe are part of meetings on site quarterly when we have a meeting of staff which includes everyone from our overall business, and that may be a couple hours long meeting over lunch and be around 15 staff in total. The handyman side of things is minimal staff on site. Most projects are done obviously at clients homes and our staff meets there and rarely is on site at our location. They have their own tools for the most part and may meet with quarterly staff meetings. We are not doing any seminar style meetings with clients on location. We use to do small work shops with seniors and families at our other location and we have not done that here and do not plan to given the hardships we have encountered with the city, we have decided to do those off site at other locations when we can and bring our financial resources and time to other locations where our help is needed. We have two small moving vans that could be on site at any point in time and they are parked in back of building directly behind our location. They coukd at times be left parked on site of a moving job, could also be driven home with a moving staff member, or parked on site hidden in back when not being used. We do not have extremely large moving vehicles, or a large fleet coming and going continously and we do not have on site storage use in those vans as they are usually in use for moves. Overall, our operation is fine tuned and does not create alot of employee traffic on a regular basis. We have nondedicated hours of staffed operations on site for the business, meaning that majority of times our staff is out on a job and not just aitting at the location. The staff that works in the store also plays dual roles and can ansser phones, return calls and emails, and general administrative duties for all entities as they are working store hours. I have attached a couple pictures that are of the two current vans we utilize and where they are parked in back of the building. We do not leave anything parked in front overnight or out in the general parking lot as some other businesses do. We also very rarely have anything delivered via larger vehicles as other businesses in the location have on a regular basis. We for the most part are pretty concealed, efficient, and make minimal impact on the surrounding
