The car wash would then relocate behind me in the area that is currently fenced in. I am looking at combining lot 2600 which is vacant, lot 2616 which is owned and used by the storage company, and 2620 which is the car wash and the boarded up building next to it, to give me a total of 273 feet along Rice Street. It is my understanding that there are concerns about this type of business on this corner and I would like to address these concerns and see if they can be overcome. The building itself can be laid out to be appealing to passing traffic and can blend in the surrounding area businesses by creating a full vehicle service area — Gas, Car Wash and Service Center. The Goodyear would employee 10 full time employees and would service anywhere from 25 -35 customers per day, most of which are same day service. The number of vehicle repair licenses for 1997 -98 in Little Canada was 23, which includes body shops and specialty repair shops. Less than 9 of these are general repair facilities that handle all automotive service repairs from tires and batteries to replacement of engines and transmissions. I would appreciate the city looking over this proposal and giving it careful consideration Thank You Perry Linn Grasp YEAR Page 10
