Suess Property: 5725 165th Street N. Hugo, MN Below will be a general scope of what we wish to accomplish at the Suess property and how we would go about improving the site. Background: We are a small but growing landscape and excavation company currently in Stillwater, MN. We are looking to grow and need more space to do this. Hugo presents a good opportunity for growth, seeing as it is growing as well. Between the easy access to the cities with Highway 35 and the growing region of Hugo and Forest Lake, we feel that this would be a great area to be in. We currently employ Ten people, three of which work in the office and eight that work in the field. On any given morning there will be 4-6 people to meet at the shop to load equipment and leave the shop around 7-8am. They will be gone throughout the day and then return around 4-6pm to drop off equipment and then leave. An average day during phase one will be 2-4 round trips with dump trucks and 2-6 round trips with pickup trucks or cars for office personnel/clients. All traffic will be directed towards Highway 61. Total additional traffic count for 165th Street to be 20 vehicles throughout the day. As our company grows, I do not foresee the size of our company creating any issues regarding noise or dust. The current nature of our business is that we are only there with equipment in the morning and the evening to load or unload. Our current operating hours are monday through friday 7am - 5pm. Occasionally we will work the weekends or office staff will come in on weekends. Phase 1: All buildings on property to be saved. Outdoor storage as labeled for phase 1 in plan. Screening as labeled for phase 1 in plan. Phase 1 Improvements & Maintenance: The goal for phase one is to use capital to purchase the property. This would not leave much money in the budget for property improvements this season. The goal would be to make minor improvements, such as improve gravel parking lots, improve existing buildings on site, and add screening. Phase 1 Screening: For screening we will use a mix of evergreen trees and other trees/ shrubs to hide any outdoor storage from neighboring lots. The goal is to create a natural and clean appearing lot line to hide equipment from eyesight for security as well as keeping neighbors happy.
