The business will be <br />installing auto accessories and doing minor auto repairs. The Conditional Use <br />Permit will be no complaints for twelve months and stick to the business hours <br />stated by the owners. <br />The Public Hearing officially opened at 7:20 p.m. for the Conditional Use Permit <br />for High Tech Auto Services. The owners were present and explained what their <br />business was. This is their second shop as the original shop is located in <br />Vadnais Heights. The owner would be operating this location in Gem Lake. The <br />hours of business would be Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. <br />with Sundays closed. Because repairs are done by appointment, there will be no <br />vehicles overnight in the parking lot. Right now, there are two stalls in the <br />building, with one stall walled off. The owner would like to open the second stall <br />and keep traffic on Hoffman Road versus County Road E. <br />Look for us on the World Wide Web at.gemlakemnorg <br />
