• August 5, 1985 City of Roseville To whom it may concern: • I, Robert R. Graham, President of Graham Investment Inc., am hereby making application for rezoning and special use permit of parcels of land, which my corporation has purchased. The size of the building will be 70 X 130, totaling 9,100 square feet. The basement will be about 3,000 square feet, all brick, steel and block construction. In reference to parking space for customers, the city requires 46 parking places and our plans provide for 53 parking places. Budget Liquor has been in existance since 1972. We presently have retail liquor outlets in Moundsview, Shakopee and Bloomington, Minnesota. Our warehouse is in Shakopee. Concerning our operation, it is a quick in and out activity. The hours of operation are controlled by law. We never have a backup of parking or traffic, as people do not shop for liquor as they do for other commodities. All trash is stored in a dumpster, parked inside our store, so it is controlled by us. We designate all deliveries from various suppliers, as to day and hour in order to eliminate any congestion. The liquor industry is the most controlled industry in the State of Minnesota: 1) No advertizing of prices enticing people to shop. 2) No purchaser can enter premises without Shoes & Shirt. 3) No minor can make a purchase without picture I.D. The Budget Profile is necessitated by purchasing .large quantities and passing all savings on to the consumers. We are consumer oriented and very protective in dealing with the public. We feel the reason for Budget Liquor being successful, is because the consumer knows the true value of every item of inventory placed for sale in our stores and having every item in the stores priced very competitively. Sincerely, _ �2o rt R. Gr President Graham Investment Inc.
