Juron, Inc dba Tires Plus Apache <br /> 1315 Larpenteur Ave W. <br /> Roseville, Mn 55113 <br /> St. Anthony Village <br /> Planning Commission <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Rd <br /> St Anthony, Mn 55418 <br /> February 17, 2004 <br /> Dear Planning Commission, <br /> We are applying for a Conditional Use Permit on Lot 8, Block 7, Mounds View Acres <br /> Second Addition, for the purpose of moving our Tires Plus Apache location. On January <br /> . 20'', 2004 the City of St Anthony and Mike Mornson officially notified us that we would <br /> have to relocate our business because of the Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment. <br /> We have been offering the community automotive repair for over twenty years at the <br /> Apache location. Through these years we have gained a loyal customer base and <br /> developed great friendships in the community. Many of our guests rely on us not only for <br /> repairing their vehicles but also keeping the records of their maintenance. Many have <br /> voiced their concern with us as to our situation and are worried that we will no longer be <br /> able to provide them the services they need for their cars. <br /> In 1996 we renewed our lease with the City on the property, despite the mall's <br /> deterioration, because we felt a loyalty to our customers and the community. A few years <br /> ago, we invested over$60,000 in the interior of our showroom to help freshen the look of <br /> the store. Throughout the years we have maintained a clean environment, making sure <br /> vehicles are picked up on a timely basis, and disposing of our product properly. <br /> The redevelopment that we were originally shown included us in what was termed <br /> " Automotive Row". We were excited to see the changes and glad to be part of the <br /> project. Last fall, we learned that there would be no"Automotive Row" and that we were <br /> not part of the plans for the redevelopment. Being proactive, we secured the two lots <br /> across the street from our current location in hopes of building a new store and <br /> continuing our relationship with the community. We are here today to apply for a <br /> Conditional Use Permit for Lot 8 (lot south of TCF Bank). We hope that you will grant us <br /> this permit so we can continue our positive relationship with St. Anthony. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dennis Knapp <br /> General Manager Tires Plus Apache <br />
