"hangers-on", "stool -sitters", and "gun -buddies", common in other small businesses of this type, will be pro -actively <br />discouraged. We have always found this type of behavior and environment counterproductive and it often has the <br />effect of alienating new customers. <br />There is currently a substantial amount of parking available, if unmarked. There are approximately five to six <br />spaces directly in front of the building for customer use and at least that many in the rear for staff use. Staff currently <br />numbers two, and will grow, provided walk-in business increases as expected, although we do not foresee staffing to <br />exceed four at any particular time. As the next unit in the building (unit 2) is currently unused for business, overflow <br />parking can be placed in front of that unit as well, numbering another approximately three or four equivalent spaces. As <br />of now, planned hours open to the public will be limited until business justifies a more expanded schedule (subject to <br />any minimum hourly requirements the city may have concerning retail spaces). <br />If the landlord allows it, and the city approves, a minimal external fagade, designed to elicit the feel of a small <br />Japanese shop will eventually be considered, as will corresponding internal decoration. Otherwise, proceeding to <br />replace the current motorcycle sign and corresponding sign on the street display will be required in relatively short <br />order. <br />If further information is required, please do not hesitate to contact me to obtain it. Such information will be <br />amended to this letter and resubmitted. <br />Best Regards, <br />Kevin Muramatsu, Owner <br />651-815-5261 <br />kevin@villagepinecustom.com <br />
