Mounds View EDA November 25, 2019 Regular Meeting Page 6 Charles Burg, Ebert Construction, introduced himself to the EDA and discussed the temperature- controlled storage project he was proposing for the Skyline Motel property. He indicated the self-storage facility would be 115,000 square feet in size. He reported the building could be three or four stories in height. He stated he did multiple sketch fits for this project and noted he could locate on the northern or southern portions of the site. He reviewed elevations of another project that was completed and noted he had completed eight other similar projects in the metro area. He discussed how self-storage facilities provided a great buffer from industrial properties to other uses. He stated he would be happy to work with the City and another developer on the project. Greg Hayes, Ebert Construction, introduced himself to the EDA and indicated Ebert Construction was a family owned business that has been around for the past 52 years. He stated he had 110 to 125 full-time employees. He explained his intent would be to hold and own the proposed facility. He commented further on the varied architecture that was being proposed for the proposed site and described the people who were using modern self-storage units. Commissioner Meehlhause noted a friend of his rented a similar storage unit. He requested further information regarding the parking requirements. Mr. Hayes reported the parking typically ranged from nine to 15 stalls. He commented further on how secure the facility would be for loading and unloading. President Mueller questioned if the self-storage units were used for vehicles. Mr. Hayes stated the units could not house vehicles or anything flammable. He reported units were typically filled with personal items. President Mueller inquired how the self-storage units were monitored. Mr. Hayes explained the units were monitored by staff (when onsite) and via electronic monitoring. He discussed the hours staff would be onsite. He estimated the self-storage facility would bring six jobs to the community. President Mueller asked if Ebert Construction would be willing to work with another developer on this project. Mr. Hayes stated he would be very willing to work with another developer. Commissioner Gunn indicated there was a need in the community for self-storage units. She discussed how she had needed a storage unit after she sold her home and was waiting to move into a new apartment. Mr. Hayes stated timing-wise this project could be completed in 2020. d.)
