<br />Re: Class II Special Accessory Home Occupation Permit, 3810 New Brighton Rd,
<br />
<br />Dear Ms, Chaput,
<br />
<br />Enclosed herewith, is my application for a Special Use Permit at my residence in Arden Hills. The
<br />business, which I have been operating out of my home in Arden Hills for almost three years now, and
<br />previously in my Shoreview home for seven years, is Always Wood Flooring, Inc. I am sole owner of the
<br />Corporation which is involved in furnishing materials for wood floors, installing, sanding, and finishing of
<br />same, We also do repair of wood flooring, resand and finish existing wood flooring, and do maintenance
<br />coating of wood flooring. The business is run out of space that would be my living room and has a part-
<br />time office person (3 days per week), and my eldest son, Mark, who does estimatinglproposals/scheduling
<br />(partly from here and partly from his truck via cell phone). The work is performed at the homes of our
<br />customers, It is rare that a customer might stop by here and materials are atways delivered to our jobsites,
<br />
<br />The business owns four (4) mid-sized vans, (2 Chev. Astros/2 GMC Safaris), one (I) Dodge pickup truck,
<br />and one (1) Nissan pickup, The Dodge is driven by myself and the Nissan is driven only occasionally by
<br />one of our workmen. Mainly we use the four vans for our working crew of seven (7) men. Parking is done
<br />on a replacement basis, i.e., the man parks his own vehicle where the company van is ordinarily parked.
<br />There is space for five (5) to park in my driveway, one man does not drive, so there might be two vehicles
<br />parked on the street in front of my home on three days of the workweek, (when the office person is here).
<br />The workmen arrive here around 7:15 -7:30 a.m. and return at different times, generally between 3:00
<br />p,m, and 5:00 p.m
<br />
<br />I have taken several snapshots ofthe house, yard, adjoining roadways, and neighbors, which show the
<br />entire situation with the vans in their slots alongside my driveway, You will note that the vans are quite
<br />hidden from the street side in most instances with the exception of being seen when driving northerly on
<br />New Brighton Road,
<br />
<br />I have also done a 'close' to scale drawing of the entire property which gives all of the dimensions and will
<br />illustrate further the parking area with relation to the trees which serve as good cover. The men are very
<br />careful when entering and teaving the driveway so as not to impede traffic on New Brighton Road, We
<br />also make a continuing effort to not offend the neighbors, I have spoken with those adjacent and across the
<br />street and do keep in contact with them to ask if there might be problems.
<br />
<br />In conclusion, I submit this request for a special use permit with sincerity and would definitely be open to
<br />any/all suggestions on ways in which I could improve the situation.
<br />
<br />Truly,
<br />
<br />~~-~
